A FARCE IN ONE ACT.

Written Especially for the Benefit Of the
Origrai Five and Forty Blackbirds.
The story of disobedient young man and
the result OF his disobedience, has just come
to light, and for the benefit of the and 40
Blackbirds, to whom the right to produce it
exclusively, will be given free, gratis, for
nothing for sweet charitys' sake. The priu-
cipal actor in this tragedy, by the way. was
one OF the and 4O's "br,ght lights last
winter, and as he carried out his part well in
the rehearsal OF this new story, it would be
no more than fair TO s'star" him.
But, to the story. This young man lives
in the neighborhood Of the north bank Of
Buck Creek, and has brother who is nearly
as tall and fine looking As himself-but, We
didn't say he was tall and fine looking. One
day last week, John we call him that be-
cause it is not his name) was old by his
mother to clean the chimney leading from
the psrior fireplace. Instead of doing as he
was told John went out and meet
ing his brother Ike 1--WE call him
that because it is not his
pame) told him that his mother wanted him
to clean the chimney. Then followed dis
cussion as to which one was to do it, and
this finally ended in an agreement by both
to do ii.
The next thing to do was to determine the
method. Ike, having a very fertile imagipa-
ton, conceived the idea OF firing an old
"borse-pistol," filed with powder, into the
chimney from the roof, concluding that the
conclusion would loosen the SCOT and it
would fall into the CRATE. This seemed to
strike John very forcibly (but not as forcibly
as be was struck a little lster), and it was
agreed that Ike should fire the "gun" and
John would stay At the fireplace and hold
a paper over the opening to prevent the dirt
from falling on the floor. After few pre-
liminaries. everything was gotten in readi-
ness. Ike went up on the roof and John to
the fireplace. The latter held the paper up
until bis arms began to weaken, and then
pnlling it to one side, he stuck his head in the
opening and yelled, "Tke, why in the -ah
name Of goodness. don't you -" Bang
went the "gun," aud the SCOT rolled down by
the car load. John, of course, got the full
benefit Of it in the face, and thinking that he
was shot and mortally injured, he rolled back
on the floor. and in piteous voice, which
was enough to have melted soft butter, be
called, Mother, mother, your favorite son is
shot A good application of hot water and
soap sosn brought him to a realization OF the
fact that be was still a white man. But it
will take something more than hot water and
soap to make the carpet and curtains look
as if they had ever been any other color.
Moral: Always 60 and clean the chimney
yourself without any assistance from your
brother

Last Saturday the bondsmen of W. N.
Castle, who was bound over to the United
States Court for carrying on a swindling
scheme through the United States mails, re-
fused to serve as such any longer. Accord
ingly deputy marshal from Cincinnati came
up here and an effort was made to find Castle
to place him under arrest. He could not be
found, however, and the officer returned
home Last night Marshal Hayward, accom-
panied by Inspector Boyd and Officer Norton,
went to Castles house, where they found
their man and made him prisoner. Both
Castle and his parents "kicked,' but it was of
no avail. Marshal Hayward took Castle to
Cincinnati this morning

Preparing for the Lumbermen's Con-

ventiOn.
Local lumber dealers met at the Arcade
Hotel yesterday afternoon to make arrange
ments for the meeting in this city, next week,
of the Tri-State Retail Lumber Dealers Asso-
citation, the last convention having been held
in Dayton about one year ago. N. A. Hay
ward was made chairman, Al. Rawlins secre-
tary, and Ed. VI. Simpson treasurer of the To-
cal organization, and committees were ap-
pointed to raise funds toward expenses OF the
convention and for entertainment of dele
gates and visitors, of whom there will be any
where from $50 to 300 representing Ohio,
Indiana and Western Pennsylvania, included
in the Association. The business sessions will
be held in G. A. R hall, opening at 10 o clock
Wednesday morning, January 81, continuing
two days. The object Of the organization is
for mutual projection, particularly against
those wholesalers who sell to retailers, and
then to consumers in the same places at retail
rates. Wednesday afternoon the Association
will be taken for tour of the mansfac-
tories, the l., B. l. W. railroad officials
volunteering free train for transportation
from one point to another in the city That
evening banquet will be given, probably at
the Arcade Hotel, at which there will be
toasts and speeches. The sessions will close
on Thursday, after which the delegates will
leave for an excursion to the Michigan piner-
les about Muskegon. The Flint and Pere
Marquette Rail. Dad Company furnish free
transportation from Toledo, and arrange
ments are under way for placing the associa-
ton in Toledo on like easy terms. Last year
l20 gentlemen took in the excursion, and it
was then intended this years trip should be
southwark, but it so happens that rolling
stock on southern roads is monGpolized to
accommodate travel to the New Orleans e1-
position, so the trip south is postponed
year. The association represents millions of
capital and some Of the best business talent
in the States forming it. 1t is hardly neces-
ssry to call upon our people to be prepared
to give the gentlemen e genuine Springfield
welcome. They will look out for that with
