The Cow Was Raised.

A man in Jefferson county, who had
a sick COW, wanted to get her up. Not
being able to do SO with his strength he
fixed a blanket under her, attached his
hay carrier and hitched on the old horse,
which had not forgotten the distance he
had to go to deliver the hay and didn't
propose to stop short. He drew the COW
up to the top of the barn, where the
track carried her over an empty NOW,
when the blanket gave way and dropped
her on the empty logs, breaking every
bone in her body.-Tyrone On. " Her

Over Three Years In q Mattress.

In July, 1888, Captain Joseph Lowe,
of York, filled his bed with grass, which
he had cut for that purpose. Soon after
Mrs. Lowe thought she felt something
moving under her side of the bed. but
the captain told her it was imagination.
Captain Lowe was afterward sick and
laid upon that side of the bed, when he
felt the same motion. In April, 1889, he
died, but not until Tuesday of last week
was the bed opened and emptied, when
out came a live, healthy, but terrible
hungry turtle. He was ravenous, and
would snap at anything offered him, it

Needed to Fill a Long Felt Want Which
the Fat Man Refused to Recognize.
It was a late boat crossing the Erie
ferry, and there were only three or four
passengers in the mems cabin. One Of
them was a thin man with a long linen
buster and a tall white bat. Although
there were many vacant seats, this pas
senger, after a deliberate inspection of
the interior, went to the far corner OF
the cabin and sat down in a seat next to
a fat man with a big valise.
'John Chapman, of Ramapo!" ex-
claimed the spare man. Glow are you
tonight" The fat man stared a moment
at the speaker and then said:
81 am not John Chapman, of Ramapo,
but I am quite we'll tonight"
"NotJ ohm Chapman, of Ramapo" said
the thin man, apparently much sur
prised. "Why, are you sure!"
"Well, I guess | ought to know who l
am" exclaimed the fat man.
Certainly, sir, certainly; to be sure!"
replied the thin man. "But, mercy! how
could l be so much mistaken? Why, If
had gone on with what l had on my
mind I would have been mortified be-
yond measure! | was SO sure you were
John Chapman, of Ramapo."

The fat man bowed.

"I don't know what made me pause on
this occasion, for l always go right up
to John and without ceremony say,

The fat man assured him, with a smile,
that there would have been no occasion
whatever for modification on that score
"Thanks! thanks!" exclaimed the thin
man. "You are very kind. But | don't
know as | ought to accept it even until
tomorrow. If you were only John Chap

The fat man bowed, but the smile was
missing. The boat was now nearing her

titled beyond measure if | had gone at
you as John Chapman, of Ramapo, are
groundless," said the thin man blandly,
Il will put the thought aside and accept
the loan-but only till tomorrow! Only
till tomorrow"
The fat man grabbed his valise and
hurried on deck, looking back once or
twice to see if the thin man was in pur-
suit. He wasn't. He sat still and
watched the fat man as he disappeared
across the %gangplank. Then he arose
and mopped his forehead with a red
handkerchief.

ieve that there would be no use of spoils
If they were not for the victors, and that

Presidents. He has always been an admirer of
Mr.. Blaine. and Flanagan is said to be the only
man i'll the state who can dispute his control Of
the republican political machine. While il is
believed that Cunie would be loyal to Harrison
under ordinary circumstances it is not thought
that anything would prevent his supporting
Blaine if he is in the field. Flanagan,
on the other hand, is MT a Blaine
man, but has been for Sherman and
is now for Harrison. 1t is believed by friends
of Mr.. Harrison that backed by the admins
tration he could take the state convention away
from Cunie if the latter turned against the ad-
ministrston, and it is said that this consider
alton entered into his selection to succeed Col
