While a farmer in one of the
central counties OF Dakota the
past week was driving home from
town a large eagle, nine feet from
tip TO tip, lighted on his shoulders
and attempted to get away with
him. After a hard russell he over
powered the bird and tied it with
his lines, securing it alive. He
took it to town and sold it to get
money to bring his family to
Dakota, and the eagle is to be
kept Gagged till Dakato is admitted
as a state, when 1t will be carried
at the head of a jubilee procession

PorItrv raIs,nc like anv other

Poultry raising, like any other
business. Is a trade to learn, and if
one is adapted 10 it, or has liking
for it he will succeed. All begin
ners are advised 10 start with a
few birds, increasing the number
as they learn how to handle them,
What every one wants is to pro-
duce eggs when they bring the
highest prices, and also poultry
for markets when it Is scarce. A
place near a city is naturally best,
as enc can readily secure custom
ers thai will pay good prices for
fresh eggs and nicely dressed
chlckens.-TeXas Farmer.

An Extraordinary Hen.
London Land and water.l

The following account OF rather re-
markabe hen may be of interest. She is
a cross between game hen and Brahma
cock, and was hatched in May, 1883. She
commenced laying in January of the fol-
low ing year, and laid one hundred and
eighty-nine eggs, within the twelve
months. Last year she laid one hum
dred and ffty-six eggs, and is still lay
ing. may add that she is quito a cocks
ney, having lived on the leads Of public
Office for the last two years, her owner
being the hail porter. She is very fond II
lying before the fire, stretching herself
like a dog. A meal time a chair is placed
for her At the table, her food being washed
down with a liberal supply ~ stout. Possi-
bly, 1t is the latter, combined with the
warmth Of har quarters, that has caused
her 10 lay SO we'll. The most curious thing
is that a g>sst number Of the eggs have
been laid " :he lap Of the porter's wife.

A LUCKY GAMBLER.
How lie Bled Some of His Colleagues
who Had Set Trap For Him,
Icinclnnati Enquirer.l

cincinnati Enquirer.l
Probably the most extensively known
gambler in Ohio is John Alexander. of Co.
lumbus. He has made some Of the most
reckless and lucky plays of any Of them
and has done great many things To at
tract the attention Of not only the sporting
world, but that Of the world on the out
side. A friend Of his tails story about
Alexander he vouches for, and il 1t has
been In print it is worth repeating:
John struck streak Of luck some years
ago that lasted until he bad won many
thousands of dollars. IL started in Wush-
ington Courthouse, o., and consisted, in
the first place. Of winning of good pro-
portions from a couple Of dollars. 1t
seemed as though any bet that AleNan-
der made went his way. During the
run Of luck referred to Alexander was one
day riding in a street car, and there heing
several men in the car who knew him, he
made the remark that he would bet twen-
tv-fve dollars 20 one that the car
would run of the track before they reached
their destination. One OF the others, who
considered that a good bet even If he lost
It, put up dollar, and John, who never
weakens, posted twenty-five dollars.
Before the car had gone two blocks it ran
OIL the track fairly and squarely.
Alexander used TO sleep over a faro
bank that he conducted in Columbus, and
as the other gams Of the capital knew his
penchant for betting on any proposition,
they were constantly inventing a scheme
20 "land the coon" There was a big stone
lying in front Of Alexander's place, and
one day number Of sports got into a con-
versation on the sidewalk on the probable
weight of the stone in question. At that
time there was nothing said about bet-
ting. On that night Alexander, while
sitting in the window Of his bed
room, cooling off, saw some of the boys
load Mr.. Stone into wheelbarrow and
cart II away. Shortly after the stone was
brought back and dumped into its old poe
sition. It occurred 10 Alexander that the
boys were setting bear-trap for him, and
he concluded to bait the trap for suckers.
So he went below, procured a wheelbar-
row, hauled the stone away, weighed it,
Knocked out a big chunk in the bottom,
weighed the stone again, and replaced it
In the street in front Of his house. Repair
ing to his room, he went TO sleep to dream
the dreams Of the innocent. The next day
weight OF that rock. Every gambler in
town was in with the play, and John took
all the bets offered Some of the boys
haven't yet got done paying the money
they borrowed to bet on that sure thing.

Pay as You Go.

There are many good men. with
strictly honest intentions, who allow
themselves TO practice a certain species
Of selfish injustice, so pernicous in ts
effects, that the injury they inflict upon
society st large-but more especially
npon their employees almost incalcu-
liable. We refer to men who are dila-
tory in paying their Just debts-men
who do not pay as they go"-men, in
short, who, for the sake of avoiding a
little inconvenience to themselves, or
making a little interest on their money,
do not hesitate TO inflict upon their un-
happy victims an amount of misery,
from the idea of which they would re-
coil with shame did they but pause to
estimate its enormity. 1t is a great ag-
gravaton of this oilcnse that the suffer-
ers from it are usually the most needy
and the most hard-working members Of
the community. The dilatory paymast-
ers to whom we refer would do well TO
ponder over St. Paurs wise counsel,
'Owe no man any thing" as well as
upon John Randolphs pithy advice,
PAY as you 90. ~ l.. Lodger.

BROWNS POETlCAL WIFE.

Che has hundred rhymes for skios,
But she has not included pies.
Her whole life Is poem terse
But unto work she Is a-verse
Her songs have gained the laurel bourhs
You never hear them round the house
All words are ready at her hand,
But most when Brown she does command
Her fdncys fire yields steady glow,
The kitchen fire is somewhat low.
Her medleys though they have a flash,
Are not synonymous with hash.
She spreads an intellectual feast,
while Browns own hunger goes increased.
Her lines have reached from pole topole-
Her clothes-ilne somehow don't unrOll.
Her odcs are sweet and full of power.
Her biscuits generally sour
Her rit sweeps the starry glooms-
There httle sweeping IN the rooms.
She lisps ia accents sweet and low
Brown says at homo they are not so,
She holds the world by numbers fair
AT home she holds brown by the halr.

a BOYS BRAVERY.
Tho Queer Sleeping Place selected by
Little Jack Crawford.

tWellsyllle (o.) speoiaLl
A remarkable feat of daring in a child
and miraculous escape from death is re-
ported from Williamsport, this county,
where a vigorous search for natural gas is
going on. Gas hunters have taken COM
plete possession Of the little hamlet and
its surroundings, and the prosecution OF
their work furnishes interest and curiosity
for the country boys for miles around. A
gusher was struck at Willamsport tho
other day, and derrick ei eighty-eight feet
high Is still standing to support a huge
escape-pipe, from which at night blszes
flame five feet high. Last night dozen
boys paid the vicinity visit, going from
well to well, out of curiosity They were
accompanied by little Jack Crawford, a
lad of nine years, who remained at the big
derrick, while his companions continued
their journey. When the boys were ready
to return home the little fellow was
nowhere to be found. One of the boys
locked mp, and imagined that he discov-
cred the outline Of form on the top plat
form of the derrick. Taking Off his shoes,
he climbed the dizzy structure. When
within a few feet of the top he was hor-
rified to find little Jack peacefully asleep
on the very edge of the derrick, with gas
burning high above him. Mastering all
his courage, the rescuer stealthily crept up
TO the little slumberer and aroused him.
The lad sleepily rubbed his eyes, and said
he wanted to go home. It was with great
difficulty he was brought down, owing to
the rickety condition of the derrick.
While his companions were gone the child
had climbed to the top Of the derrick, and
beng tired soon fell asleep. II was a
miracle he did not fall, as the plank upon
which he was found is by actual measures
ment only six feet long and two feet wide.
