Creating, IL Nuisance

Who ever had charge OF ringing the fire
alarm at the East Lexington engine house
Sunday should be taught that even u fire
man has no right to play with the bell to
the disturbance of the whole city. A de-
cent alarm was sounded, and the company
got away nicely with the apparatus, but
the crank who had hold of the bell rope
pulled it vigorously for nearly half an
hour, ringing an alarm long enough for
the burning of every house in Lexington.
Ii the captain of hat hose company can
not regulate this matter, the chief of the
department or mayor should.

Festival of the "G1utton Mass"

1t is fortunate that some rules in rela-
ton to repletion are no longer observed.
One which was noticed among the Hurons
and Canadian Algonkins by the early
French missionaries, and styled lie festin
manger tout, consisted in the religious
obligation, sometimes attended with loss
of life, of the communicates to eat up
every particle which was set before them.
a festival, somewhat of the same nature,
was called the "glutton mass, celebrated
in England during, if not after, the reign
of Henry ". A less dangerous, because
regulated, term of repletion was preva-
lent in India, according to Brahman ira
dition, in which the invites, before COM
mencing the carouse bound themselves
around the abdomen with o band Of
straw; and their modified feat was, not to
eat indefinitely until all had been de-
voured, but only until the straw bands
should burst. There is no survival of
this custom except in the exaggerated
hospitality, generally rustic, in which the
host persists in petitions that the guests
should continue to eat, without reference
to their apparent wishes. Modern ETH
quette shows marked improvement in
never suggesting either selection or guam
titv of provender.-Science.

Government STAMPED Enrelones.

If you have no special fad" in envel-

stamped envelopes They are made of pa
per of excellent quality, they are Opaque,
andyOu will never have your correspondent
notified to send stamp to pay the post
age ON your letter, which you know you
stamped, but nevertheless didn't. These
envelopes are made in a clear amber, and
also white, in the first quality, and cost
much less than envelopes sold at a sta
toner's AT all large towns you can OBJ
tain them printed to return them either
to your postoffice box or to g., No.
-, - street" and if you fill out the
request blank you will know whether your
letter was delivered
If your correspondence is large, it will
be much cheaper for you to have your
name, postOtfice box, number, or name of
street and town printed upon your envel-
opes, with return request. The post
office department does this free, only re-
quiring that 500 envelopes be bought at
one time. l will add one thing, which l
find few people know: If you spoil an
envelope in directing, or by blotting it,
you can take it (the whole envelope) to
your postotfice and your postmaster will
give you stamps to the value Of the stamp
upon it. So there is no loss, as many
think, in using government stamped en-
velopes.-Horace London in The Writer.

following week When the time came
our team, accompanied by half a dozen
Chicago drummers, ran over to Mar
shalltown to have some fun with the
country team.
AS soon as we got to the hotel the
Chicago drummers began to look
around for some bets on the game
Somewhat to their surprise, they had
no trouble to find numerous men and
citizens of Marshalltown ready to back
their club to odds. The favorite bet
was even money that we would
not beat the home team two to one

base for u.s. succeeded in getting a bet
of $50 aga inst S1C0 that we would beat

by the time the game began our
players and the Chicago drummers had
covered about all the spare money
there was in the town, and excitement
ran high. business was practically
suspended for the afternoon, and
everybody went out to the ball ground
to see the great contest.
One-third of the home nine was com
posed of the Ansons. The old man
played first base, Adrain played third
and his other son guarded second base.
And | assure you they made fOrmid-
able inteld. Adrian, you know, is
over six feet tall and weighs about POO
pounds: and he at that time had re-
ceived his full growth. But he was
the smallest of the three. Father An
son was almost d giant in stature. The
three appeared on the diamond in bare
feet, al d spikes were an abomination
to them.

the first man to face me- The ball
was new and rather hard to handle.
The first ball delivered went danger
Ously close to Ia Anson's head. He
lodged and then gave me a look which
sent the blood to my heart in a rush.
The look unnerved me, for the second
ball pitched hit him with dull. sick
ening thud in the vicinity of the short
ribs.
1t doubled him up for a moment and
then he made dash toward me with
his bat in hand. | am satisfied now
that | would have fled his awful APP

paralyzed by the situation. AS it was

me. Holding his bat in one hand and
shaking the other fist under my nose,

you do that on purpose
| assured him on my honor that it
was an accident, and after receiving
an abject apology he returned to the
plate muttering ana shaking his head.
Throughout all the game thereafter
kept the ball well away from his gil
gantic person.
Well we beat them, | think, by the
score of II to 6, and of course every
body but Barnes won his bets. Poor

inning, man on third. himself at the

The Ansons had lost all the spare
cash they could raise. The town was
filed with gloom that night, for the
Ansons were mighty in that commun-
ity and the citizens mourned with the
Ansons over their loss.

the old gentleman accompanied by his
two sons came around to the hotel and
began to dicl1er for bet on next days

The Ring.
How to PLAY Them Out.

A famous musician was spending q
short holiday in the country On the
Sunday he went to the parish church and
asked the village organist if he would
kindly allow him to play while the people
were going out. Consent was readily
given But such wonderful and beautiful
music did the accomplished stranger
bring out of the old fashioned organ that
every body kept their seats to enjoy it.
This vexed the ordinary player and he
rudely pushed the visitor aside, saying,
THAT kind of playing will never get the
people out; l will show you how to do
it. +" So saying, he took his place and be-
gan droning away in his usual style.
Speedily the congregation rose from their
pews and fed. There, cried he, with a
self satisfied smile that is the way to
play them out. Home Journal

One of the Chicago drummers banter
!ngly offered to bet 500 to $50 that we
would beat the Marshalltown team
three to one in the second game. This
so excited the d man that he began
to hustle arc and trying to get together
the necessary 50. He could, however,
raise only $50 in cash. After a con-
ference with his two sons Mr.. Arson
offered the $50 cash and his family cow
worth $50 more against the drummer S
500. From pure mischief the drum
mer accepted and the bet was duly
made.
Wen, we beat the Arson team three
to one and more. There was gloom in
Marshalltown after that game so thick
one could almost feel it. Our party
had about all the cash there was in the
city, and the drummer was the owner
OF the Arson family COW. While we
were at supper waiter came into the

to live for several weeks on Mount Etna
in the refuge / 900 feet or so below the

ed, gentleman endured his hard fare of
biscuits and timed meats well enough
for a fortnight at a time. Every fif-
teenth day, however, he rode down the
mountain to the nearest village, some
twenty miles away, and reveled in all
the savory dishes the innkeeper could
put before him; after which banquet he
returned to his mountain perch, Injured

DueIing in Italy.

The Italian government has devised
what may be a useful plan for diminish
ing the number Of duels. Dueling in
Italy is allowed under certain conditions,
and it is supposed that many duels are
due to the fear of those challenged that
if they do not fight they will be treated
as towards. In future any Italian who
calls a countryman a coward because the
latter will not fight will be made to pay
an extremely heavy ine.-Chicago Herald.
