Part of i;ereaycd Ones
II is remarkable how foreigners dom
iciled in this country still cling To- their
native customs. This is especially true
when they are congrcgated IN large
numbers The single German, French
man or Norwegian who has made hlS
home in some portion of this land Of
liberty may still adhere To his oddities
and habits of old, but he does not meet
with the necessary encouragement from
his fellows, and probably finds that
often ridicule takes the place of the ex-
pected appreciation.
Last summer n field hand on one of
the farms in North Dakota was struck
by lightning and instantly killed The
proprietor of the farm notified the
parents of the unfortunate Swede of
their sons fate. They were an old
couple who own and farmed one Of
those auarter-section tracts that Uncle
sam gives away so lavishly. They had
been in this country for many years,
their son was born here, and yet, when
II came to the solemnity of burial. they
reverted at once to the memories of
their native land and its customs
The parents did not even go to view
the body nor attend to its preparation
for the grave, says the Illustrated
American. Friends brought il home in
an ordinary farm wagon, and then, in
stead of carrying it into the house,
placed the remains upon n wide plank
resting on two upturned barrels IN the
stable. Horses grew rcStive as they al
ways will when placed near corpse.
The cattle forgot to munich their hay,
and covered back in the stalls. show
ing their realization that something IN
usual was happening All this while
the dead boys parents were busy with
in doors donning their best apparel; the
aged mother even hunted up an old
hair trunk. from the depth of which an
odd and peculiar sort OF inter was
taken, decorated with ribbons of all
possible and impossible colors. This
she solemnly placed upon her head, as
she had seen it done in the faraway
home. so long ago, near the North Cape.
They then took chairs. side by side.
in their living-room and waited.
After awhile friends arrived. many Of
them wearing odds and ends of costume
brought from over the ocean scores of
years ago.
Then all, excepting the parents, ad-

the body of The dead man, where re-
freshments were served, and an occa-
sional low, wailing song was chanted.
After this they proceeded to the burial
ground ten miles away, and the last sad
rites were performed after the same
simple manner.
Strangest of all. the two beings most
interested still sat within doors. in sol
cmn silence, decorated with their quaint
relics of dress. They declined to ac-
company the funeral cortege, and hours
aftcrward, when the mourners and
friends had returned, were sitting inn
movable as though spcllbound. supper
for the entire assemblage concluded
this rather ghostly performance, but
the old people who had lost their boy
still sat silently as before without an
expression of complaint or plea for sym
pathy. Was this n lack of feeling or
stoicism?

How Names Grow.

1t is currently related in New Bed
ford that several generations ago a ship
was wrecked near there and only one
boy saved As they did not know his
name. they called him Johnny Crapaud.
and the descendant of this boy was con-
gressman from Massachusetts. Hon.
Mr. Crapo. To these may be added,
says American Notes and Queries. the
ease of Judge Poland. of Vermont. of
whom the story is told that his family
were Poles and bore an unpronounce-
able surname; they were called the
Poles and the ''Polanders.' so that
the name gradually crystallized into
Poland There is also the name com
mon in the south, ''Dabney," which is
supposed by the aristocratic owners to
be n corruption of the French pau
bigne, and probably first imported by
some noble Huguenot exile.

wooOcHucKs AS CLIMBERS.
The Fact Established That They Can and
DO Climb Trees.


DO Climb Trees.
Some people have long asserted that
the woodchucl can climb trees as read
lily as the bear can. and that in the
carly summer they habitually seek the
branches of apple and other fruit trees
TO feed on the tender and juicy Young
leaves. This assertion has been ridi-
culed by others, who say that il is inn
possible for a woodchucl1 to climb
tree, the animal not being physically
capable of performing such feat.
That the woodchuck can and does
climb trees, however. was demon
strated in a most unmistalSable manner
in an eastern village a few days ago
r. Beck. president of the Hammonds-
port IN. Y. board of education, was
sitting in the door in the rear of a store
when he saw a big woodchucl< come
stealing along a gravelly knoll across
the creek, not more than a hundred
yards distant. The woodchuck stopped
at the foot of a tree, inspected IL for
moment and then climbed it with the
ease of a squirrel, but going up as
bear climbs a tree Beck called others
to witness the sight. The woodchuck
did not remain long in the tree. and
came down. letting itself down rump
first. 1t then went up another tree,
where il could be seen making feast
on the tender leaves. After enjoying
the novel sight for some time a citizen
got his rife and picked the woodchuck
from its perch. The animal was very
fat, weighing nearly twenty pounds

Great Excitement Prevailed and Heavy
Vote POlled.
CINCINNATI, Nov. Affection day
dawned cold and cloudy. During the
early hours voters were numerous
around the vorious booths. Many work.
ingmen who were at the polls, found
they could not vote without losing half
day, dropped out of of line and left the
polls. Intense interest was mani
tested in the election but the vote fell
short many hundreds from the registra-
tion list in this county owing to the new
process of balloting. In some of the
West End wards Governor Campbell
was scratched. Especially is this the
case in the Sixteenth. The universal
complaint coming asst does from every
ward and precincts that the voter
who retires to his stall has insufficient
light to decipher the ballot, and is
hampered in doing what scratching he
may wish to do. On this account it
appears that many straight tickets were
cast when otherwise energetically criss-
crossed ballots would have been handed.

Sioux City Journal: If the result of

late the saloon from politics, and com

it will be the most memorable local
election held in this state in "a quarter
OF century.
True indeed; for the saloon has no
more business in politics than has the
dry goods store, the grocery or the
dairy, and it would never have been
there but for the insolence and intoler-
ance of the men who use it as means
OF Livelihood, and the narrowness and
bigotry of the other class who have fos
tered the prohibition idea solely for
their own selfish purposes. Between
the two stand the great body OF conserv-
atlve citizens who must teyentually come
to some common ground OF action and

Gus Speech Delivered by Mr.. Healy
at Longford Sunday.

DUBLIN, Nov. 4.-Timothy Healy,
McCarthyite member of the house of
commons for the northern division of
the county of Longford, has been pub
licly horsewhipped in the streets of
Dublin, by Mr.. McDermott,
the nephew of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell. Such is the terse rec
ord Of an interesting and not unexpected
event which has just been placed upon
paper Offices of this city, every one of
which is surrounded by demonstrative
crowds of hot-blooded Irishmen. The
Parlellites in the throngs which gaze
upon the big black letters of the notices
are jubilant, and do not hesitate to
taunt the McCarthyites who also crowd
about the boards. The consequence is
that a number of fights have already
occurred, while the temper of the par
tisans is such as to suggest the necessity
for strong And vigilant police patrols. It
has been in the air that Mr.. Healy
would, by someone and somehow, be
called to prompt reckoning for the ex-
ceedingly vigorous speech delivered by
him at Longford on Sunday last. Or
dinarily Mr.. Healy is remarkably
forcible orator, but on the occasion in
question he excelled himself, having
gone so far as to refer to Mrs. Parnel as
"an English prostitute"
Particulars of the Assault.
The particulars of the assault are as
follows: Mr.. McDermott, who is a
solicitor, espied Mr.. Timothy Healy,
dressed in his barrister's wig and gown,
walking through the Four Courts.
Without moments delay Mr.. McDer-
mott drew a horsewhip from under his
coat, and, rushing upon the astounded
commoner, vigorously belabored him
with repeated and vigorously delivered
blows. Mr.. Healy was taken complete
ly by surprise and, stumbling, fell upon
his back, his wig falling from his head
at the same time. While Mr.. Healy
was PROSTATE his enemy continued to
remorselessly and unsparingly slash
whatever part of his body presented it.
self. This, however, did not last long,
for Mr.. Healy springing to his feet the
two men clinched. There was a RAPID
delivery of fist blows by &Tr. McDer-
mott, and then short Wrestling match
was concluded in McDermott's favor.
