A young mar well-known In society
circles, who has n billiard-room in the
house, was one evening teaching 4
younglady, in whom he was somewhat
interested, to play. The small boy of
the family went up to Wow the game,
but was evidently not greatly pleased
with its progress and soon came down.
Some n Of the family asked how the
game was going on, and he said: Tho
game is is not going on at all, Uncle
-- is not playing at all; he is just
standing thoro holding Miss IS
hand, That's all he's doing, and don't
think there's any fun in that sort of Il
game."-lndianapolis Journal.

Market the Better
There is no particular gain in keep
ing the hogs fat during the hot wealth
en- If they can be kept in a good
thrifty condition a very short time o
heavy feeding will be all that is neceS,
sary TO get them ready for market
And a fat animal can hardly be made
comfortable while the weather is Sc
warm.
It is very often the case that hogs
that are ready for the market reasona-
bly, early in the fall not only sell at a
better price, but returna better profit
II they have been kept gaining stead
lily all summer and all in n good con-
ditlon they can be iattened in a short
time and at less cost than later. They
can still get the benefit of a good
pasture and will keep healthier and
will require less food to iatten than if
they must depend upon dry feed alone,
Plenty OF grass is usually one of the
healthiest and best feeds for any kind
of stock, and while in fattening hogs
for market considerable grain must be
supplied, allowing them the run of a
good pasture will help materially to
lessen the cost, Corn is the principal
material usually for ~fattening hogs,

their relatives learn to avoid the treaoh-
erous luminary. After rats have been
poisoned with arsenic for couple of
weeks the survivors learn to distinguish

develop 4 faculty for chronological esti-

Prince Bismarck himself resided as Min
lister President of Prussia, and here the

the waiting room is an old sofa, worn

with the bare floor and cane-bottom

wandeiings and its owners. 1t runs thus:
"This piano was purchased in London,
A. ID. 1905, by John Graham, of Rock
ingham county, Va, being the first one
brought to the county. Its cost was
$500. 1t remained as an heirloom in the
Graham family, descending first to his
daughter, Maria Graham, who married
Jacob Koontz, by whom the music book
accompanying the instrument was cop
led. 1t was then in the family of Emily
Graham, sister of Maria, who married
Samuel Cootes, where it remained many
years, descending TO the family of his
daughter, Margaret c., who married DIR.

civil war Ella, daughter of Dr. Moore,
who married Newton Burkholder, next
came into possession, from whom it was
purchased by Mrs. Maria G. Carr, grand
daughter of the original owner, who
donated it to the Chicago Historical So
ciety in April, 1888"

ing back on his letter of recommendation,
he obtained position in a clothing store
IN Toronto. A short time after his former
employer, Smith, had occasion to visit
Toronto on a purchasing trip and was sur
prlsed to hear that his former clerk, whom
he recommended, had absconded, taking
with him all the cash receipts of the store
for an entire week. This was early in
1883 For brief period Bryson was lost
sight of, but finally turned up in ST. Paul.
His smooth bearing soon obtained for
him position as travelling salesman for
the New York Tea Company. He soon re-
peated his former larcenies and embezzled
large sum Of money. This time he could
not escape the penalty and on July 3, 1885,
he was sent to the Saltwater penitentiary
for one year and ten months, which SEN
tence he served and was released on Jan.
IS, 1887.
He returned to ST. Paul, and alternating
between the Twin Cities, served several
short jail terms for crooked transactions.
He had now entirely abandoned his wife
and the child that had been born them. a
girl 5 years of age. He managed to get
work in Minneapolis from the Pacific Tea
Company but soon embezzed another sum
of money, which he returned, fearing an
other prosecution.

('Ce Bryson is the son of David
Bryson, a gentleman living in comfortable
circumstances at Hoosick Station on the
line of the Grand Trunk railway, in
Canada. Of his early life there is little
which would interest the public, as it was
entirely uneventful. In 1881 Bryson mar
ried Miss Emma Chase, of Montreal.
Shortly thereafter his wife fell heirsto a
sum of money from her mother With
this money Bryson opened grocery store
in the city of Montreal, but being possessed
of extravagant habits, he soon succeeded
in squandering the little fortune and was
compelled to sell out his store
Through his fathers influence he was
appointed station and express agent at
Hoosick Station. On the night previous
to his leaving for Hoosick he broke into the
store he had sold and carried away what
he thought sufficient to start housekeeping
He escaped the consequences of his crime
and left for his new post, where he soon
tired of the quiet life, and laid his plans to
change its current.
He embezzled the funds of both railway
and express companies and reported to
their respective officers that the office had
been burglarized. Chief Detective Flynn,
of the Grand Trunk system, investigated
the case and to Bryson's CONSERVATION re-
ported that suspicious fell on him. That
