THE AGE OF MUSCLE.

Samson Isn't the Strongest Man Nowadays
In the Small Boys Opinion.
Lewistown Journal.1
Boys, as a rule, answer questions more
promptly than girls; a Circumstance which
frequently renders their blunders indescrib-
ably amusing. In one of the many Maine
scbool-houses that on the seventh day OF the
week are made to do duty as churches, a
worthy deacon, vino had charge of the
Sunday school. began catechising a class OF
boys by asking: "Who was the strongest
MANI"
Without hesitating an instant, an Swear
old-youngster shouted: Sullivan! Now
ask me who's the boss catcher

"This naturally used to detract very appre-
ciably from the interest in the meetings. So
nowadays we don't announce Mr.. Sankey
and nobody is disappointed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Needham are singing at our meetings just
now. Physically. Mr.. Sankey cannot bear
the severe strain of four and five meetings

THE CHARM OF GOAT HILL.

Verses to a Delightful and Well-Kuowr
Suburb of the Gas City.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.1
"Goat Hill, delightful suburb of Pitts
burg, extensively settled by noblemen OF
Celtic descent, and remarkable for its large
and amazingly hungry herds of goats"
-Ne,o Gazetteer.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-04-06

All parts Of the charm Of Goat Hill.
Through the long summer days how 1 fondly re-
clined,
While Nature made love to my soul;
On a couch of rich grass, which the goats left
behind
In the shade of a telegraph pole!
There dreamed of a home far from cities and
sins,
With nymph, to my Jack to play Jill,
When the gentle goats browse on the castaway
tins,
Mid the gardens and bowers of Goat Hill.
Twas there when the stars were awake in the
sky,
The sons of the hillside I've seen
With pitchers and bottles, proceed on the sly,
To Gilligan's private shebeen!
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-04-06

But the snow is abroad and the slush is bore,
And the wind brngeth tears TO my eyes;
I would it were bright, brilliant summer once
more.
In spite of the heat and the fiiesi
For then shall fly to that wellbelov'd spot,
Sweet peace from its wales to distil;
So I'm saving up money to purchase . lot
In the rural ravines Of Goat Hill

GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT.
, 1890-06-22

There are certain high toned ply
sicians here in town who play it low
down on their patients. They affect
an undecipherable handwriting and
inform their patients that the prescrip-
tons should be taken to certain drug
gists. If the patient thinks he can do
better in the matter of rates at another
drug store he presents the prescription
there and is reluctantly informed by
the clerk, after a protracted session
behind the prescription counter, that
he cannot read the writing. Then the
patient is necessarily obliged to take
the prescription to the drug store de.
signated by the physician, where it is
put up without any ado and where a
good, round price is charged for it
The patient pays this without a muir.
muir, for there wouldn't be a cent in
murmuring. Now, why does this
high toned physician do this1 Simply
because he has an arrangement with
this particular druggist whereby he
gets a rake off on every prescription
compounded. He has a cipher ar
ranged with the druggist and no one
else a read bis prescriptions. These
are the physicians who object most
strongly to their professional brethren
who advertise. Chicago Herald.

End of a Family Quarrel.

PTrTsBURG, June 2l.-Last night at
10 o'clock VIII Hammer, a young deu-
fist Of Greensburg, was shot by his wife,
to whom he had been married only if
teen months. For some time the young
couple had not been living happils-to-
Rether. and Yesterday they engaged in a
violent quarrel, which ended in Mrs.
Hammers returning to her fathers house
and urging him to return with her and
effect an amicabls settlement. Mr.. Sell
and nis daughter found DIR. Hammer in
his Office and in a short time the quarrel
was renewed. DR.. Hammer struck the
old gentleman and Mrs. Hammer, think
ing her father was in danger, fired twice
at her husband, missing him both times.
She then ran out and summoned assist
ance and on returning to the house fired
a third shot. which pierced her husbands
right lung. The wound is considered
fatal. Mrs. Hammer has not been ar
rested. All parties to the tragedy are
wealthy and GreensburG is greatly excited
in of tho affair.
