A half breed boy Of Mexican and In

hibiting Ills pet, he places ON the ground
as a sort Of stage At the command OF
its master the tarantula mounted "A small

When the Earth Was
Young.

Saws DR.. Ball, astronomer royal for
Ireland, it went round so fast that the
day was only three hours long. The
earth was liquid then, and it spun
around and around at that fearful
speed, and as the sun causes every in
creasing tides upon its surface, it at last
burst in two. The smaller part be-
came the moon, which has been going
round the earth ever since at an increa-
ing distance. The demand for speed is
one which no invention of man seems
to satisfy. Ocean steamers now cross
the Atlantic in a week, but the public
clamors for a shorter voyage, and some
of the companies are holding out a
hope of three days. Perhaps the speed
indicated above, when our old globe
whirled around at the rate of 5000
miles an hour, would satisfy the peo-
pie whs travel, but as the world is get.

An idea for q Country Place.


The points Of the compass are always a
mooted question at country houses, par
ticularly on the shores Of bays or lakes,
where each curve and indenture of the
land changes the frontage to the water.
Really acrimonious discussions have
been held by near neighbors on their re-
spective verandas, where, without reli-
able compass to guide them, each man
held to his own opinion with dogmatic
persistence.
II have lived in four different country
houses with you" said the wife of one Of
the disputants laughingly, land in every
pace there has always been this discus

FOOLISH MEN.

In the fall of 1880, The Plano Mana

Ed. Hanson by attachment, and all his
property attached by j. II. McDermott
then acting sheriff. OF other things

was claimed by John c. Hanson, son
of Ed. and an action was brought
against the Plano Manufacturing Co. to
recover the value of the stock and the
case set for trial at jamestown July 9TH
1891. On the sixth day of July the case
was settled, and four head of stock
turned over to VIM. Glass and the bal
ance OF stock was agreed to be turned
over to j.. z. Hanson. Instead of wait
ing for an order from Glass, John c.
and his father goes up to Willow and
takes all the stock out of the Gratias
herd without an order, and start for
Carrington where all the stock was
loaded in a car and shipped, it is claim
ell to the state Of Washington. Glass
hearing that the Hansons had stolen
his stock swore out q warrant for John
G. Hanson and Ed. Hanson. and sheriff
Greenland startd Tuesday morning in
pursuit of the Hanson's and found at
Darlington that they had left OH the
train for jamestown that day. Sheriff
Greenland then telegraphcd the officers
ut jamestown who succeeded in ar-
resting Ed. Hanson, but John G. and
the stock got away without being
caught. It's reported that Hanson,
after being arrested at Jamestown, es-
capped from the sheriff but was recap
tured in the city of Jamestown, after
which the sheriff wended his way to-
ward Cooperstown with his "bird," and
everything went all right until they
reached tho residence of. Richard Lar

the horse, which he did, but while the
sheriff was taking drink out of the
bucket, Hanson got tired of waiting
and drove away with the sheritl7s team,
leaving the sheriff to drink or walk us

ly found at Sinclair's place near Bald
Hill tied to Il building, but Hanson has
not been heard from up to the present
time. When he left the sheriff he had
a chain on his leg with ten pound
ball ut the end Of it. Several parties
together with the sheriff are hunting
after the escaped prisoner and he will
no doubt be re-captured. The action
of the prisoner in trying to evade tho
law will make it all the harder for him
when he does appear in court.

Gazelles aud Human sent,ment.

In the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris. in
fine grassy ,inclosure, is a group of tiny
animals, the smallest antelopes known.
They will come, about the size of so
many cats, close behind their low wire
grating, and stand and doubtfully gaia
up at you with enormous liquid eyes.
And such is the effect of their littleness.
their timorousness, their almost absurd
delicacy-so small, so delicate. those lit.
tie, little hoofs, those little tender limbs,
those fragile fawn colored sides, that
little humid twitching muzzle; so small,
and yet SO keenly, tre,nulously per.
ceptive and SO intensely sensitive; 50
little, yet all alive and euivering with
nerves; SO small, SO weak, so helpless.
and apparently so untitled for aught ex-
cept to apprehend; such minute atoms
and specks of sentient being, SO lost
amid universe's vast incomprehensi-
bility-that my heart has been smitten
to look upon those miniature living
things, with the quite inordinate frailty
Of their body and the disproportionata
bigness of their eyes.
Symbols or suggestions Of humanity's
every aspect may, one fancies. be dis
covered in animal creation. And I
think those antelopes are symbols of a
state Of soul rare enough among men.

ties string to his snap and scythe and
with the other end around his waist he
starts and soon he gets in to his waist,
