Rev. w. Is. Atfieck was arrested at
kimball for shooting pralie chickens
but was discharged on the ground
that he didn't know chickens from
plover. r.-0htcheN Republican.
The Republican is slightly in error.
Rev. Atfieck is an old sportsmen and
knows all game birds by sight. The
facts in the case are briefly these
Rev. Affleck was accused by parties
residing few miles northwest of
town of shooting prairie chickens.
Upon complaint being made, Sheriff
Ryan requested hum TO appear before
Judge Long to answer the charge.
The reverend gentleman was not
arrested, he alleges, as stated in the
GRAPHIC. At the trial the principal
witness testified that he, at distance
of so rods away, saw Rev. Affleck
flush and kill a prairie chicken. Rev.
Atf1eck swore that it was a plover,
and so did Prof. Richardson, who was
with HIM. There was no testimony
introduced corroborating that Of the
first named witness, and the Judge
dismissed the case, railing that he did
not think it question of veracity be-
tween the opposing witnesses, but
that at so great distance $50 rods) it
would be very difficult for the wit
ness to know positively prairie
chicken from a plover, and that the
evidence did not warrant conviction
AS Judge he could not very well
make any other decision.
| The GRAPHIC went to press last
week too early to make lucid report
of the case.

When Swearing is .Justifiable


Young man don't swear. There is
no occasion for swearing outside of a
printing-otfice, where it is useful in
proof-reading and indespensably nee
essary in getting forms to press. 1t
has been known, also, materially to
assist an editor IN looking over the
paper after 1t was printed. But
otherwise it is foolish habit.

interesting features Of the session.
A room will be provided and all

therein. This room will be accessi

work. Ample time to carefully
examine the specimens will thus be
given. Teachers will profit greatly
by this feature of the Institute.

A Georgia man claims to have
discovered method Of tlavoring
watermelons. He says you can tiavo:
them with any extract you desire.
His method is this: Before the
melon ripens, cut a slit about two
thirds through it, and pour in a drop
or so of the extract every morning
until you think you have enough.
Every morning after pouring in the
extract, close the stem and tie a
string around it to hold it together

To write for paper is one thing;
to edit it another. There are some
excellent writers who would "make a
fool of a paper if they had the con
Quoting of it for few weeks. A
good editor seldoms writes much for
his paper; he reads, judges, selects,
dictates, alters, combines; and to do
this we'll he has little time to compose.
Those people who have most to say
about the way newspaper should be
conducted are those who know the
least of what they are talking

and the principal, on being applied
to for solution, smllingly confessed

so simple a question, one Of the
teachers sent out delegation of boys
to scour the neighborhood for a cat.
They Were successful, and on their
arrival returning board was APP

was learned that a cat possesses is
toes, 10 on the front, and 8 on the
hind feet.

An exchange says: "Newspaper
editing is a funny amusement. If you
give a man puff he never sees it,;
but let one line again him appear,
and he sees it before the paper is off
the press. And while he would not
have time to stop on the street and
thank you, he has time to race all
over town to denounce the editor
who seeks to print the news"
Apropos of which we will add that a
paper which for selfish and pecuniary
Interests is afraid to publish certain
items of news deserves to lose what
little influence it has and be buried
with the silent majority.

What is Mascot? This question
has often been asked. The name
derives it's origin from the comic
opera "Mascot." The leading char
acter in the opera is young, viva
cious girl called Mascot. Good lack
and fortune is supposed to fall to any
household which shelters her. Every
family wants her and, of course,
every young fellow wants to marry
her. Partly through fun and partly
through little superstition that
over-shadows ball players, some of
the leading base bali clubs I'M provise
mascots by taking little boy, dress
ing him in the uniform Of the club
and taking him on the field with
them. There is no lucid meaning to
the word. Ever now and then
through the opera, where reference
is made to 'sthe Mascot" new
conner asks: "why, what is mascot" :"
The answer Is always the one that
tops this item.
