Old Time COurtshIp.

A quaint story Of an old-time court
ship Is picturesquely told in the Pitts
field, Me, Advertiser by some veteran
who evidently has always had keen
sense Of humor The writer says his
wife was inclined TO ilirt little with
the young men, while he was engaged
to her, and one night she allowed an
awkward boy whom he named Make,
to escort her home from husking.
Her ailianced felt sore at first, but de-
termiued to pay the damsel in her own
coin. Seeing Make 90 by the shop
where he was at work, he hailed him
and called him in.
make. said he, ! congratulate you
in winning such a fine girl You have
cut me out and | own it. Its hard
blow TO me and will hurt my poor old
mothers feelings dreadfully, rs heieh
had agreed TO commence mending my
clothes for me at once"
II was the custom in those days for
young ladies to do washing and sew
ing for their lovers, as token OF
their affection. Make greedily took
the bait which was offered him. He
made large bundle Of his old clothes
and took them to the young lady. She
nearly tainted when he took the third
pair Of pants from the bundle and
told her Just how he would like to
have the patches put on. Her father
ordered the deceived young man 10
leave the house, and that was the last
OF the Irritation.

A LITTLE STORM.
The Mayor Makes a Statement That |

Interested PARTY.


The Mayor Makes a Statement That
He is Forcibly Vetoed" by an
Interested Party.
There was rather lively scene IT.
Brsdys saloon on Saturday, In which
little scrap" occurred, that owing TO
the Importance OF the ''scrappers," has
created considerable excitement In the
city. IL seems that General Russ. Mr..
X. .Wooley, Jr., Mayor CallaghaD, bis
henchman, Jose Cassiano and other
friends, met on Saturday, and after some
not very friendly conversation adjourn
ed to Brady's saloon TO cement the
bonds OF friendship by little whisky.
While there, General Russ delivered q
very short, but emphatic GRAFTON on
democracy In which he declared that he
would see TO it In the next election that
the name OF no "skyster" or "yellow
dog" WAS placed upon the ticket. For
some reason unexplained, the mayor
took umbrage st this state
ment and In an excited way
intiniated that II General Russ
wanted anything he could get 1t, and
looked up at the burly form OF the
mayor almost in the same way as Ajax
when he defied the lightning. The gen.
ersl was silent, but the mayor was not
proceeded In no measured terms to de-
nounee the West End enterprise with
which General Russ is prominently
identified, as q swindle. He had not
gone far In his TRADE when the general
hauled of with his right and landed the
mayor a severe blow on the cheek
which made him dance an imprOmptu
reel. When the mayor had picked him
self up, he intimated that the general
might be the better man at bis fists, but
he could get away with him In shooting,
and suggested that they should fight
out on the street, adding that
he was ~ good shot" The general
admitted that he was poor shot, but he
would be happy to accommodate the
mayor In that respect and matters had
rather serious aspect. What might
have been the result Of this difficulty 1t
is impossible to say, but friends OF
both parties interfered; explanations
ensued and a few minutes peace and
harmony was restored over another
drink.
1t is rather strange that these two
friends should have quarrelled, for 1t was
Gen. Russ speech In convention that
did much to nominate the mayor for bis
present term. The reason, perhaps. is in
the fact that the mayor has condemned
the West End scheme, but as far as the
LIGHT can learn, there is no Justification
for the mayors structures.

The March term OF the district court
convened this morning and the frat bus
mess OF the court was the empannelling
OF The grand jury. The judges charge
was quite general and embraced a great
many subjects. He called their atten-
tion to the duties of the county road
overseers. Less roads were needed and
better ones. The gambling must be

during their terms Of conviction was
needed. The county jail nor the poor
house were suitable. They were direct
ed to strictly enforce the law against
gaming and to see that the police give
evidence OF all they know of gaming In
the city, and If no information is obtain
able from the police, the jury must see
ifsaid police have their instructions to
keep silent, from those higher in author.
ity.
The Sunday law must be enforced
strictly and the attention OF the Jury
should also be directed to those bodies
OF men who were associated together to
defeat the law In our courts. They were
also directed to strictly enforce the law
against the selling Of liquor to minors.
Houses OF prostitution also came in
for share Of the charge. In one case
Of the jury. That was the placing of one
Of our public schools lin the second

ton rs to be almost next door. The
morals Of our children must not be cor
rupted. even by association.
The jurors were directed to also pay
their respects to the district and county
clerks offices, the sheriff, jailers, etc.,
etc.
After this the sounding OF the civil
docket was dispensed with and the case
OF Fisk vs.. Morales was taken up. This
is for possession OF small lot on Garden

city. Two locomotives with steam UP,
by some accident, became loose from
their "hitchings" and colllded. Two

were the engines. No one was hurt.
There will probably be some engineer
blamed for this accident, though Of pres
