The Potato Story.


From Good Cheer.
Mr.. Rockaway being asked to tell
one of his ten minute stories, said
"If it will content you / will tell you
a potato story which begins with a
bean pole:
"Once there was bean pole which
was stuck into the ground by the side
of a potato hill.
"'Dear me, cried young cabbage
growing near, what stiff, pody
thing that is, and of no earthly use
standing there doing nothingP
"But very soon scarlet bean, rum
ming about in search of something to
climb upon, found this same pole.
"'All right y cried the happy little
bean, you are the very thing want.
Now I'll begin my summers work
well, to be sure cried the young
cabbage. Everything comes to some
use at last. But who would have
thought it?"
1.-THE scarlet bean was very spry
little thing; she ran up that pole just
rs easy. Being of lively turn she
began at last ito make fun of the po-
tatO plant.
"'How sober you are." said she

An Editor Conquers Hydrophobia.

WATERFOWL. N. Y, June g.
Nearly three weeks ago Mr.. Cough.
Ian. editor of the Watertown Times,
was bitten by dog that was affected
by the rabies. Firm in the faith that
fear was the main cause of hydropho-
bia, and that the will could overcome
its manifestations. Mr.. Coughlan
maintained a bold front, fought down
the dreadful symptoms. and, with
the exception of little lameness. is
himself again. On the ninth day Mr..
Coughlan began to experience sharp
pains in his eyes. And here was a
peculiar feature of the case. Mr..
Coughlan has been nearsighted for
many years, 80 much so In fact that
he could read print only by the aid
ofstrong glasses. But, following the
sharp. darting pain through his eyes.
came a renewal of his powers of
vision, so that he was able to read
fine print without glasses. These
pains seemed to start from the wound
and extend through his whole sys-
tenn. Wrapped in flannel sheets. with
these maddening sensations darling
through his body, occasionally burn
ing with fervent heat and then freez-
ing with chills that caused his teeth
to chatter, Mr.. Coughlan struggled
between reason and madness for four
hours. Then the pains and heat left
him. AT times it seemed that he was
being suspended in the air. but he
clutched the bedstead and held on
with grim determination to fight ii
out. When the paroxysms were over
the thick blankets in which he was
wrapped were wet through with per-
spiratiOn, and he was exhausted and
suffering from intense thirst. A chok
ing sensation, however, prevented
his swallowing water in any consid-
cradle quantity, and even what he
could force down was repealed by his
stomach. But. manfully. he persist
ed in swallowing water, and although
these tortures were gone through
time and time again during the sue
ceeding twenty.four hours, each at
tack was less violent than that which
preceded it. Now all the bad symp-
toms have passed away, and. with
the exception of the slight lameness
referred to Mr.. Coughlan is entirely
well.

finishing the morning meal, the old

of time if they should place the din
