I; very much impressed with The

positive that the vampire bat stories,

Tho Crisis.

Santa Anna, after silently escaping
with his army from Mexico, besieged
Puebla for twenty-eight days. Col.
Chlds was in command There was
rather an amusing encounter between
Col. Childs and Capt. II. L. kendrick.
Col. Childs wished him to open fire
with his artillery for moral effect. Ken
drick desired to save his ammunition
for real effect--he had none to waste.
Col. Childs insisted. Capt, Kendrick,
you must fire. Its crisis, sir-a crisis. y
Capt. Kendrick said: Sergeant, load

with emphasis The sergeant said,
touching his cap: "NVhat shall l fire Cd

a general laugh, Col. Childs joining in.

A New Danger from Tobacco.

1t is stated that a German physician,
on examination of a number of cigar
tips, found that many of them were
infected with tubercle haci,li. The
makers were tuberculous, aid in the
manufacture of the cigars moistened
the tips with their saliva This GER
tainly represents a new danger from
using tobacco, at least in the shape OF
cigarettes and cigars. We were aware
that there is considerable difference
between bad and good tobacco, and
have been inclined to attribute injuri-
Gus effects to the use of inferior prod
act. ANY tobacco, however, may be
impregnated as above. And if tobacco
may be contaminated by one bacilB
there does not appear any reason why
it should not harbor other microbes.
This is a point which will doubtless be
taken up by the and-tobacconists.-

Soma rs.s OF ArtlGcinl Cold.

1t seems very probable that the day
Is not far distant when brine, cooled
below the freezing point of water, will
be carried under the streets in pipes, as
steam is now, supplying from central
stations a very convenient substitute
for ice in the domestic household. By
freezing in our own houses water
which has been previously boiled, il
will then be possible for us to avoid
contagion from diseased germs con
tanned in ice gathered from impure
sources. The maintenance of dwell.

matter of course as the warming of a

A Duke's Reverence.

4 Students Henvx Sleep.

\ wild and changing uproar was
heard in the Elm house, Auburn. The
landlord, the clerk and the porter were
all in it. 1t was no party of roisterers
and no lawless disturbance. Much rs
the landlord regretted it he felt COM
PEELED to do it, and he was only doing
what was laudable and proper. He
was trying to awaken guest. The
Maine State college baseball team put
up at the famous inn on Friday, and
the ten men were to occupy three
rooms, one of them a large room with
two double beds and calculated to ac'
commodate four.
One of the young men went to bed at
Q o'clock, and in an absent minded
mood or unaware that he was to have
company during the night he turned
the key. At 10 80 the other young meI
wanted a nap They found the door
locked. The landlord was called and
nc tried mild tapping on the easement.
The strength and tempo of the serenade
both increased by degrees. Finally q
wild and awful laundering fell upon
that door The man from Orano never
budged an inch or shortened q gurgle
On his nasal solo, for he slept. The at
tendant throng around the door grew
greater Some laughed and some were
alarmed. a travelling man offered tc
bet even that the man had passed away,
but nobody would bet on so serious a
topic.
The door was kicked and banged
again and supplications were elected
through the keyhole and over the tran,
som for him to open up, but he never
opened, for he slept-a dreamless, peace
full sleep. Most of the guests were
awake by this time a practical solu'
ton was reached by the porter, who
punched out the key on the other side
by careful and patient manipulation
and then unlocked the door with pass
key. The three state college boys then
went in and went to bed, and strange
but true the one-of-the-seven-sleepers,
who lay there in smiling slumber in his
couch, did not awake even then, but
slept on and on and never rolled over.

A young calf had got out into the

back into the barn. They pulled gently
at the rope about its neck, but it
wouldn't lead Then they pulled hard.
So did the calf. The impelling forca

The result was that they settled upon

evening previous 1t became appar.
ent, to the unbiased observer, that
the Prohibs had captured the ma
chine and intended to make the
Repub's dance to their music, while
the Offices were parceled out to
suit the aqueous element. Conse-
quently when J. Phil Rochester re-
ceived the nomination for Mayor
no one was surprised. Bub Voris
for Marshal, did not stand the
ghost of show, and SO was ig-
ANONYMOUSLY defeated by "Long
John" Kanode. Will Keynes was
renominated for Clerk, not because
they wanted him but because it
was supposed to be good policy.
Then VIM. Toole was nominated
for Treasurer. This was intended
as a plum to his bosom friend II. o.
Kittsmiller who is a hustler.
Patrick Doyle was named for
Street Commissioner, which nomi-
nation was intended as q slap in
the face to AL Brook. AL wanted
his brother Oliver to have the
nomination. Oliver is good man,
but AL had to be punished for his
numerous political sins.
AT a later hour the same night
the Prohib's met and said the gen.
eral Convention had done that
which was right in their sight by
choosing that mighty man of valor
]. Philip, and also the two Will
Jams, sirnamed Keynes and
Toole, but declared the selection of
Patric Doyle and John Kanode to
be an abomination which they
would spew out of their mouths.
They then appointed a committee
Of their number who should select
candidates for the various posi-
tions whom the aquatics might be
willing to support.
This committee met on Thursday
night and the following is the re-
suit of their effort:
Mayor j. p. Rochester; Marshal
M. M. Miller; Clerk VIM Keynes;
