APPLES FOR LEMONS.
s'Old Sports Learns a New Trick
 the Age of 63.

s'Old sport'' Learns New Trick at
 the Age of 63.
 'Old Sport" Campana, although far along m years, having reached the age of 63, is still as fertile in peculiar devices as he was in his youthful days. few days ago the veteran pedestrian dropped into a Bridgeport saloon, and after ex- hibiting several good looking lemons made a sale of fifty. While he counted the fruit and placed 1t in a basket be- longing to the purchaser, the old man kept up a rambling talk about his races in the past and what he was still able to do on the track, with an intelligent trainer. Old Sport can count accurately and talk upon any topic at the same time, and his tongue kept moving at a lively rate until he had counted out fifty lemons. He then received his money with smile and God bless you, mster,' and left the place singing popular song. Later in the day the bar tender picked up one of the fruit to pre- pare beverage for customer, and when he removed the paper covering he discovered that it was an apple. Tho contents of the basket were then emptied on the floor and the paper wrappers To the chagrin of the propri- etor he found nearly peck of apples with about dozen lemons scattered among them.

An effort will soon be made to re-organ-

new one. The correspondent of the Press
says of the movement: 1--WE hope it will
be successful as We have plenty of material
for such an organization and it would
be a great benefit to those engaged
in agricultural pursuits. Many of the
members of the grange organized in
1878, now dormant, are dead or ad-
vanced in years so that new organization
would be necessary. We have all the re-
gala and furniture and money in the for
mer treasurer's hands. so that much of the
expense of . new organization would be
unnecessary. We believe the farmer. in
town will take hold of this matter and
make it a success"
