| In some portions of Scotland they have
| way of prefixing the substantive with the
| verb, for instance, 'Where the dog is he.
| Very well. One beautiful Sunday morning
a preacher announced his text as being thai
old familiar one, relative to the devil going
round like roaring lion seeking whom he
may devour.
He began thus "My beloved brethren we
shall FIRST inquire who-the devil, is he!
Second, where-the devil, he is going?
Third, what-the devil, he is doing? and
fourth and lastly, what-the devil, is he
roaring about?"
This naturally hinges onto the politics OF
the day which has with all its internal broils
and private chickering's just swept over our
state and community. The democratic
morning papers are 'still In doubt" while
everybody else knows that the republicans
i'm this state had walk over. This town

Suicides are contagious. That last one
over north here was tried to be reproduced
last Sunday, but was fortunately frustrated
by old Starkill who met man with a de-
jected counteDance on his face and rope in
his hand, going through his swamp.
"Hello! where We goln' WHIP" said the
old man as he expectorated some tobacco
juice into the eyes Of the chaps dog for

goin ter git married. Amt goin off that
way, lookin as you do?"

There is eh?" howled the old man, ''and
with good property and everything to
make you happy you are afraid to face 'em
eh? Now amt that so, and that you are
goin off to hang yourself, eh?"
''Well Mr.. Starkill life aint worth living"
''Taint eh," said the old man as he
snatched the coil of rope out of the young
mans hands and took him by his coat col
lar, ''Taint eh?" and he began to baste him
most numerically. Round and round the
swamp they went, the old man-who is
quite muscular-laying It on to beat all, and
every once in awhile yelling ''Taint eh?"
until the young chap began to cry yes yesl
Are you sure of It." said the old man
raising his hand, ''an' you'll never try 1t
agin?"
mo, III never try it again."
"All right" said the old man, 'here's your
rope an don't you never tell of this or try 1t
agin for II you do, or IL you try 1t agin. by

on the spot. Understand that?"
"Yes SIR"
"Well, now 90 along home and attend to

makes me want to commit murder it's to see
man sneak off and try to kill himself"

dramatic novelty, the only living Indian
actress Miss Go-won-go Mohawk in hel
great sensational drama ''The Indian
Mail Carrier" It has been said of her
by an exchange: "Miss Go won-so Mo-
hawk the young Indian authoress and
actress, who has been playing the lead
ing character in her own drama entitled
1.-THE Indian Mail Carrier" has been in
gratiating herself into general favor with
the Brooklyn public. AS the Indian
mail boy, astride his swift-footed char
ger, she looks and rides like hero, but
her modest, unassumirg manners, to.
gether with sweet, sympathetic voice,
makes an exceedingly captivating char
acter. Winning for herself solely on
merit-both fame ann fortune is some
thing unusual in the theatrical line,
where success depends SO much upon
management" The engagement IS for
the entire week.
