Getting Even with "A Tramp.

There is boy who makes Park place
his begging headquarters ON every Sun
day. Many months ago the writer was
weak enough to give him small sum of
money, and ever since has been pestered
by the same old tale of hunger and the
necessary want of three cents to make
up the five. In a happy moment he
thought of a good plan to rid himself of
the nuisance, and one Monday d; solid
sandwich was bought for five cents and
carefully stored away. By Sunday the
bread was beautifully hard and the meat
not too fresh. 1t was carefully wrapped
up in paper. AT PARK place the boy was
on hand with the usual pitiful tale
81 thought of you this morning." said
the reporter, and handed him the paper
packet; there's a sandwich for you"
1t was not what the beggar wanted,
so he only gave vent to a surly thanks"
About an hour later the reporter had to
go down Park place again, and he saw
his tormentor on the sidewalk. The
tramp saw him also and skunk across the
street, and the look on his face was as
malignant as it could possibly be.---New

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

deafness is the result, and unless the in

A ComicaI Fishing Incident.

A comical incident happened to a well
known amateur Geneseo fisherman last
Friday evening. He was fishing at the
mouth of Jacks Branch. He bad few
bites, except those contributed by mosoui-
toes. The waters in which he fished were
still and snllen, unstirred by even the wag
of pollywog's tail. Four contemplating
mud turtles stared at him with hard, un
wiDking eyes, till he was maddened.
just up the Bayou across the shallow
mouth OF the branch, but beyond the
farthest reach of his line, a whole school
of fish weltered and floundered The
water was alive with them. He couldn't
stand it. He disrobed his fatted calves,
and started to walk across. When about
three feet from shore startled
fish about as big as roll of
wall paper darted between his legs
AS its cold, uncanny, wriggling sides.
so suggestive of snake, squirmed along
the delIcately nurtured and sensi,
tive legs of the fisherman, he gave a
whoop of horror and leaped with
such Dynamite suddenness into the air
that several scores of mosquitoes were
crippled for life by his head The fish
didn't yeE; but he was so scared that his
own mother wouldn't know him. He
rushed franucally ahead, and when the
man came down with souse and roar,
the frenzied fish gave leap and lit on
the 0ozy shore. Then the ruling passion
possessed the fisherman. He~forgot his
fear, and fioundered to the Hopping fish,
selling him, as it happened. back of the
middle. 1t was pickerel, that, in addi-
ton TO his own slime. had borrowed lib
orally from his neighbors. The fisher
mans clutch frightened. and the pickerel,
like bar of soap. squirted through his
hands with such force that he fell ten
feet from the shore into the stream. Then
the 6sherman's ire was vented on the
mosquitoes to that degree that there is
danger of that cheerful bird becoming
extinct on Green river.-Geneseo Neaos
