But he had bought it. The interior
of that haymow was a big fraud, and
when the seller struck Engle for set

he couldn't get cent.
But there came time whea some

A GREAT HOSS.RAcE IN aaKsNSAW.
The Disastrous Effects of One of the

fellow travellers. None of the crowd
had been there
Il m Just from there. continued the
speaker, as he passed the cigars and
took seat in the circle" and while
there | went to Mosquito Park. the new
race-course. There was a good deal of
excitement and much betting, the con-
testing horses being an aged claybank
and an old flea-bitten grav-only two
entries. The regular judges were part
owners of the horses entered, and it
was deemed prudent to call in an un-
biased and disinterested party to Judge
the race. So Col. Blood of Bear Ridge
was requested to accept that important
office. With the assistance of several
members of the association the Colonel
and his jug mounted the stand. After
several false starts the flyers got off
fairly well, and the race was closely
contested as far as the homestretch, but
at that point the gray horse, in passing
through swamp that had not been
properly drained, mired up to his
knees in mud. The claybank was a
little more fortunate, being on the in
side track, where he struck tirmer dirt,
and won easily, coming in at the finish
probably 800 yards ahead.
The claybanks hackers were, of
course, wild with joy and they picked
him up bodily and carried him around
on their shoulders. Their Joy was
only momentary, however, for Col
Blood, standing up on a soap-box and
t1ourishing a pair of silver-mounted
derringers. said: Gentlemen of the
Swampsboro Blood Horse Association

The falling OF big tree under the

all country bred readers will testify.
The historian of the Seventy ninth
Highlanders, /" OF New York, describes
the cutting down OF whole hillside
Of trees under circumstances that must
have made it a memorable spectacle.

Army Of the Potomac after the defeat

Maine and Wisconsin regiments were

the simultaneous fall of whole hill

The choppers began at the foot Of
the hill, the line extending for per-
haps half mile. They cut only part
way through the tree, and in this way
worked up 10 the crest, leaving the
trees in the top row in such a condition
that single blow would bring them
down.
Then, when all was ready, the bugle
sounded, and the last strokes were
given. Down came the upper tier ol
trees. These brought down those be

Juvenile Murdercr- GuIIlo,lnea.

Some little sensation was caused re-
Gently by the execution in front Of the

murderers, aged respectively IL and 81.
They had strangled an elderly concierge

There is a great commotion among the
Jewish population Of Boston, caused by
an order recently issued by the board Of
health forbidding the killing of fowl
within the thickly settled sections OF the
city. except in places especially assigned
for that purpose b. the board OF health
The Jews put great reliance ON poultry
for their sustenance, and IL 10 probable
that they consume MS many chickens az
all the other people Of Boston put to-
gether. The poultry that Is consumed
by others than the Jews is generally
killed outside. bat all the fowls intend
ed for Jewish consumption have hith-
erto been killed in this city.
The reason for this Is to be found in
the Jewish law. The meat of no animal
or fowl that has not been killed by per
son authorized by the rabbi to slaughter
such animal or fowl can be eaten by 6
jew, nor can II be eaten after having
been killed for over two days. The con
sequence Is that the people of this race
prefer 10 buy their own fowls or animali
alive and have them killed by the propel
authority. IL is calculated that some
thing like 5000 chickens are brought int
Boston alive every week for Jewish con
sumption alone. Boston Herald.

To Meet Her Lover.

At 5 80 in the morning well dressed
young woman arrived i'm Utica from
Castle Garden. She had come all the
way from a place In western Russia,
and was ON her way to meet her lover
In Duluth, Mimi, who had left her
two years before to find a home for
both of them in the New World. He
went to Duluth and became fairly
prosperous. As soon as he was able he
wrote 10 his sweetheart and urged her
to come to him, but the age and sick
ness of her parents kept her In Russia
until this year. Both her parents
having died, the young man sent her
tickets to bring her to America with
what he supposed was sufficient money
for the. journey. The young woman
began her journey more than q
month ago, and when she arrived at
Castle Garden thought she must be
within a few hours journey of her
friend. She came on to Utica, as
stated, and was taken to the Central
depot whence she was to proceed on
her journey by another train.
She waited about the depot all day,
and at night in broken German told
Leonard Pruey, the baggage master,
that she had not had anything to eat
all day, and had only twenty cents In
her purse. When she had recited the
whole story, and Mr.. Pruey told hei
