That year terrible drought struck in
and his father had to go ten miles down
the "cove" to get his corn ground. So he
yoked up the steers and threw several
bags in the bottom of the cart. The boy,
IN his peculiar garment, climed in ard

and far off country, and every sight was
wonder. Arriving at the mill he watch

its way from the hopper into the heart
of the stone and then spurt out in watm
white jets into the trough. He went
outside and saw the water pour over and
turn the huge overshot wheel and peered
with a sensation of fear into the dark,
messy caverp into which the wheel was
forever retreatins.
On rising at little distance he spied
a log cabin, and shortly wandered over
through the brush in its direction. A

was spinning wool and the other knitting.
They were the most beautiful things he
had ever seen, and he nearly died right
there. They saw him and burst out
laughing at his remarkable appearance.
He did't know what to do, but thought it
was probably the proper thing TO stare
at them and laugh back, which he did
with interest. This mutual entertain
ment keptup for some ten minutes, when
one of the girls laughed so hard he rolled
off the bench. He thought that was queer,
but just then he felt something cold on
his leg.
Re turned around. As he did so both
girls shrieked with laughter and ran into
the house. He found that the cold thing
on his leg was the muzzle of a bull calf
that was chewing away vigorously on
what vas left of the rear of his dress
which had been shockingly mutilated by
the animal during the few minutes he
was staring at the girls.
He has seen more girls since and bears
their smiles with greater equaminity. He
is also one of the lest dressed men in
Washington, but that experience with the
bull calf and the girls will never be eff
fected from his memory.

HIS FOOT WAS AFIRE.
A Boys Bandages Ignite in Most Mysterious
Manner

Manner.
An incredible, at least most remark
able, occurrence took place IL Allegheny
the other day, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Charles Rasp, a boy aged about
sixteen years, who lives on Church alley.
near Spring Garden avenue, was playing
with some companions on the river bank,
in front of the Allegheny Water Works
The escape pipe from the works lets out
the steam at the point near where the
boys were playing. Rasp stood near the
edge of the bank where a load of sawdust
had been dumped, and slipped down the
bank in front of the escape pipe. He
was frightfully scalded about the face
hands and feet.
His companions rescued him, and he
was taken TO the office of the water works,
where some women of the neighborhood
dressed his wounds. They poulticed them
with linseed oil and cotton, and the lad
was taken to his home.
The dressing was only intended as
TEMPORARY, and DR.. R. J. McCready was
called. He removed the bandage and re
dressed the burns, but was unable to take
off portion of the cotton that adhered
20 the heel of one of the boys feet with
out removing some of the flesh. Some of
the cotton that was taken off was thrown
into crock half filled with water, and
some was east INFO a corner.
About midnight on Saturday the boy
screamed for help and yelled "fre." His
parents ran into the room and found his
foot on fire and the mattress abIaze. The
cast of cotton in the corner vas also on
fire, and the cotton in the crock had
hurnAd tO the waters e1Ce UbiIa tboH
underneath,,w charred.
DR.. McCready, in speaking of the cir
cumstance last night, said that without
doubt it was the most remarkable case of
spontaneous o1nbustion he had ever
witnessed. He said the fire in the bed
was caused by the piece OF cotton and
linseed oil that he had been unable to re-
move from the boys foot, as all the cot
ton taken from the body at the time
of the accident had ignited simultaneous

The failure of the State to maintain
perfectly plain case in its own courts,
presided over by a judge freshly appoint
ed by a Governor who is himself a law
YER of distinction, has taken everybody
outside of Lafayette parish by surprise.
1t was supposed that Gov. Nichols had
the Lafayette troubles and their legal
adjustment especially in view when he
selected a successor to Judge DeBaillon.
He is also presumed to be familiar with
the requirement that one of the qualifi-
cations of District Judge is that he
must be Learned in the law" Also, that
the constitutions of the United State are
such essential parts of the law that they
hear down and invalidate all conflicting
