THE HOG, THE DRUNK, AND THE
CITIZEN.
A Story Without a Moral.

On Christmas Day Citizen was
walking up Main Street carrying rome
packages and shovel. Having occas-
sion to cross the street he began to shovel
snow and slush away from the stepping
stones, between Hose House No. |. and
the Post Office, to avoid wetting his feet
IN the passage. A Merchant saw this
and, for the public good. began to clear
way across from the other side. The
Merchant saw also Drunken man lean.
ing against the Hose House, and beside
him lying on the sidewalk, a package of
meat and loaf of bread. A large
spotted hog came along and said merry
Christmas" and look the loaf of bread.
The Drunken man said "All right, take
it." In the meantime the observant
Merchant was laughing to himself and
trying to attract the attention of the
shoveling Citizen that the latter might
also enjoy the joke. As the Drunken
man walked away the Merchant said:
'"Well the hog finally got away with it"
and laughed aloud.
with what ?" said the Citizen.
why with FOOLS bread of course. !"
"But that was my bread"
Then the merchant who is an excita.
BILE man said: "There he goes with it
around the corner, run quick and you'll
catch him, hurry up!"
Yet the Citizen looked complacently
on the meat which remained untouched,
and remarked: "Oh l guess l don't
need that loaf of bread any way"
But in his inmost heart he said, dam.
There is no moral to this story, but
Shier sells the best cigars that can be
had, which is fact worth knowing to
those who like to treat themselves de.
Gently.

Rolling Stones of Nevada.

The Scientific American tells this:
"These stones are spheroidal, about the
size of hickory nuts, of magnetic ferru-
ginous composition, and are found in
comparatively level regions where the
surface is of rock. They collect in the
bottoms of shallow basins that abound in
such localities and lie huddled in bunch.
es like eggs in nest. Distributed on
floor or other level surface, at distance
not exceeding two or three feet, they
Immediately commence moving toward a
common center with amusing celebrity,
caused, doubtless, by the material of
which they are composed. 1t is needless
to add that they are usually devoid of
moss.
