The Oak and the OYSTER.

''Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
In the specimen shown us by Mr.. George

growing right through the heart of an
oyster shell. Whether the sprouting
acorn had pierced the shell, or some acct
dental hand had bored the convenient ori-

A Flash from an Electric Car.

Richard Ii. Earle, the insurance agent
who lives in Worthington street, had a
peculiar and rather startling experience
with electricity early one evening re-
Gently through the medium of the cleo
trio cars. He was crossing Main street
just below State street, where the Forest
park line ends.and happened to pass the
rear of an electric car just as it started
on its southwark trip. He went very
close to the car, perhaps within foot,
he thinks. and as he went by there came
from beneath the car flash as of light
ming, which seemed to start from the
wheels and strike him on the left side
under the arm. No harm seemed to
have been done, and Mr.. Earle contin-
ued on his way
just as he turned down Howard street
to 60 to the llouse of an acquaintance.
Carl Wunsch. he felt Il pain in his side
as If he WAS being roughly rubbed
When he reached Mr. Wunscns house
the latter exclaimed that something was
burning. and on Mr.. Earles unbutton-
ing his overcoat smoke and flame came
out. and it took lively work on the part
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wunsch and Mr. Earle
to save the clothing. On examination it
was found that the overcoat and under
coat had been burned through from the
outside. and also the vest as far as the
lining. The hole in the oyercoat is two
or three inches wide and four or FIVE
inches long. A leather book in the un-
dercoat containing some papers was bad
ly burned on the lower end and the pa
pers therein were scorched
Mr.. Earle thinks there is no doubt that
the mischief was caused by the spark
from the electric car. ard no other solu-
tion of the matter seems possible, since
Mr.. Earle does not smoke, and the burns
in the clothing :fe not Of the sort to be
started from such source. The street

and this of itself would tend to lissipate

There is a great demand for good

but they are not to be had. Farmers
and others would find ready sale and
good prices for this class of stock if
they had them.

gether and purchasing ten or twelve
head of standard bred mares and
bringing them to Abilene for breeding
purposes. We hope it won't all end in
talk.
Henry Strawn, the popular trainer
and driver, already has about twenty
head of trOtters in his string at the
track and it is confidently expected
that he will put several of them in the
2:3O list this year and materially lower
the records of those already in.

farmers of the state of Kansas have
ruined lie credit of the state by their
foolish attempts at legislation against

have not been successful in passing
any such legislation, yet they have
been very successful in destroying the

state. 1t is glorious thing that it is

to be endeavoring to destroy the credit
