PRrsataEHsv Spirit
A young man over In Brushvalley
township was desperately in love with Z
farmers daughter, She r~eciprocated the
tender passion, but her father was sullen
and obdurate, and gave the young man
to understand In the most emphatic
terms that II he ever entered that house
It would be at his perl. He would, he
said, "kick the dSylights out Of him.
One night recently, when the old gem
tleman had gone 10 Indiana TO be ab.
sent over night, the young man took adj
vantage OF his absence to Wait the daugh-
ter, They were sitting in the front room,
both beaulng with JOY, 1t was nearly
midnight.
Presently the daughter heard noise
which she recognised as her fathers foot
steps, There was q bed in the room and
the girl drew back the calico curtains
and told the young man to hustle under,
He did so. She had forgotten 10 tell him
that there was q goose under there en-,
gagged in amotherly effort 10 hatch out q
dozen young goslilgs, Scarcely had the
young man gotten himself securely stow
ed away, when the girls father entered.
Just about this time the old goose made
q kissing noise, drew back It's long neck,
and atrlck the already frightened In
truder q smart blow on the left ear, nip
ping q piece out. That was enough.
He was sure he had been bitten by q
snake, and. with q blood curdling yell,
the young man rushed from his hiding
place screaming at the top Of his voice;
"snakel snSkel I'm BIT by a snake
and I don't care who knowsit"
And the clRndesiine lover made a
break for the door, and ran home with
furious speed, yelling ut every jump.
The old man was at first very much
startled at the strange apparitfon, but
he soon realized the situation, and both
himself and daughter laughed heartily.

Canal Laborers Leaving The Isthmus.

Panama, Feb. ~. Canal matters have
continued to oecups entirely the public mind,
which has been excited for weeks past, owing
to the stoppage of work and the consequent
loss of employment. The most vigorous and
praiseworthy efforts have been made to assist
those out of employment. About 1000 have
gone TO Costa Rca 800 to Chill 400 to near
by coast ports, and large number to Jamaica
and the other West India Islands. Large
numbers of others are ready and willing to
leave here for almost any destination that
may offer relief. There are at present over
900 names of men OF different nationalties
on the books at the Gillian consulate, who
will be sent South as speedily as transporta-
ton can be obtained for them. Work along
the canal line is now being conducted on a
smaller scale than heretofore; and, although
the dredges and excayators are still at work
the hand Labor employed is Insignificant as
compared with what il has been.

people In every section Of the state. The
increase Of the number Of State Depart

and the accumulation Of valuable
increase Of the state Library render it
absolutely necessary that there be add

the stimulating cause Of the movement
for new state Capitol. II il plain To all
that one or the other must be done TO
safeguard the interests Of the State.
Thus stand before the public the
