The franklin County almshouse 1t
present affords shelter TO man who
has remarkable record in the Grim
inal annals Of this part Of the state.
His name is William Pierce, and he
was released from Auburn prison Il
few days ago. after serving Il term of
imprisonment amounting to forty
nino years, four months and six days.
Tho crimc for Which Pierce suffered
this terrible punishment was for the
murder of his own father on Jan. 10,
1889. Pierce, who was then about IL
years old, was working in tho woods
with his parent, when q dispute arose
over tho use of q horse which he dc,
sired to drive in tho evening to attend
party or spelling SCHOOL, in tho neigh,
borhood.
The father, unable to stand the abu
sive language of his son, attempted tC
chastiso him. In return, William
seized his nx and with two or three
blows killed him. The parricido was
arrested and tried in this village in
July, and sentenced to be hanged
on Sept 2 Of tho same year On
account of his youth Governor Sew
ard committed tho sentence to impris
onment for life.
Pierce became hopelcssly insane {
few years ago, and q second commu
tation was granted, which allowed his
release. Every one of his relatives il
this county has been dead many
years. and the story of his crime was
almost completely forgottcn-Malonc

"Whcrc's Danicll" eagerly asked the
old gentleman. II saw him about 9
o'clock or little after. IIo came to
my window and raped at it. | saw

Mistaken About tho Horse.

Tho other day one Of the customers
in Lewiston, Me-, dry goods store
failed to get her purchases, and she
appeared at the store next morning in
a fcrment. Here, Guy" said the
proprietor, take this iady's bundle
right homo with her."
The lady preceded tho boy out of
tho store, and walking along to the
curbing stepped into the wagon stand
ing there. The boy took the blanket
off the horse, unhitched him and
jumped in. At the watering trough
on ono Of the streets the horse seemed
to want to drink, and the clerk said {:
Shall l give the horse drinka"
"Yes, said the lady, "givo tho old
horse a drink" and tho horse drank.
Arriving at the lady's house, the
clerk looked for the stable and said:
What shall l do with tho horse?
Shall l tic him up2"
Sure" was the reply. II don't
care what you do with him. He's not
my horse. Amt he yours2"

tho police were on his track. Instead

Tho Adiutant Bird,

Talking of. adjutant birds, I heard
a good story from Mr.. Richards of the
Baptist mission at Lukolela. 1t seems
thet Nv N sy-esf1 eGsf1 tamos sadJutant at Lutetc
tor Wathen) station, Which roamed
about the station, with clipped wings,
in company with monkeys, parrots
and other pets, among them a kitten
belonging to Mr.. Comber. One day
this kitten was heard mewing pitc-
ously, though it was nowhere to be
seen. At last, noticing that the sounds
appeared to be proceeding from the
adjutant, who was standing with his
bea!; wide open, ms though engaged in
swallowing something, with an cf-
fort, MIR. Comber walked up TO him.,
and looking down his throat saw the
end of the kittens tail about to disap-
pear; Thereupon he graspcd tho tail
and hauled tho kitten out still alive.
Mr.: Richards told mo that the truth
of this story had been doubted in Eng
land for my part | see no reason to
disbelievo it, and would recommend
those who do to pay visit to the Zoo
and inspect the adjutants there. Those
| have seen on the Congo held their
heads as high as tall man and had
bea}ss and throats of enormous capa-
city, adapted-liko those of pelicans
and other birds which lead similar
life-to the catching and swallowing
whole of large fish. The Lutctc adiu-
tant, l am told, on another occasion
swallowed n small dead monkey en-
tire. AS for the kitten-it is a we'll
known fact that cats have nino lives!

While engaged in n hunt tried TO
learn something from the half breed
about these strange animals, but, al
though he had killed scores of thc!o
ho was SO unconmunicativc that |
was given precious little information.
However, learned enough to know
that the race is nearly extinct, having
been hunted with great vigor on ac-
count Of the hides by those who didn't
caro- for tho sport, and also having
been pursued SO hard by genuine
sportsmen, who were carried away
with tho delights of the chase. | had
formerly thought that they had these
big curving horns you have seen in
pictures, on which they alightcI un-
harmed after springing from some
lofty height; but that's all nonsense,
for their horns arc small and sharp
pointed.
They arc. fearless, however, in rae
ing over the mountains, and make
some astonishing leaps and climb up
to seemingly inaccessible heights.
taking a sure foothold where it would
seem almost an impossibility for them
to stick. Altogether, don't wonder
that there is so much of an effort 10
capture them.
BY the way, learned that in tho
Sawtooth Range another animal could
bo found which is unknown except in
Europc-the ibcx. At least there is q
tradition to that effect, but saw
none, and couldn't ascertain that anv
had been killed; so after all it may be
fable. c.-Chicago Tribune.
