The Sewing Machine Mans
Saw.

"Gentlemen," said the sewing ma
chine man, zone spring father and I
had a sugar camp down in the edge
of the grove. About half a mile
from us was a corn field owned by q
widow, and this widow never picked
her corr clean. On the other side
was q man who owned a blind SOW.
She had one pig, and they used togo
over into that corn field every day
to eat the corn. Right in front Of
our camp was a creek. At one place
about 40 rods from our camp there
was a felled tree across the creek.
This was the only place that the SOW
and pig could cross. OF course the
SOW could not see to cross on tho
log, SO the way they used to do was
for the old SOW to take hold of the
pigs tail, and the pig would lead
her across. Well, one day we were
sitting in front of our camp when the
old SOW and pig were crossing that
log. l said to father, Hand me the
rifle and see me cut that pigs tail
off, l took aim and fired, cutting
the little pig'sta tail offsmack smooth.
The pig ran for the corn field, but
the old SOW didn't know which way
to go. So father went over and took
hold of the pigs tail and led the old
SOW clear into camp."-Lewiston

neighbor because the latter refused
to sell her a COW, and thereafter no

could be burned and dispossessed by
dropping a red hot horseshoe in tho

experiment, %whereupon she declared
that Il scream issued from the churnl

The Other Side.

NEW YORK, Aug, 1.-THE following
dispatch reached the Associated Press
from San Salvador today: The reports
published recently in New York touch
ing a revolution in San Salvador were
altogether inaccurate. They were doubt
less based on the circumstances CON
nected with the passage of several
Salvadorian refugees from Nicaragua to
Guatemala. on board the Pacific Mail
steamer City of Panama.
Among these refugees was Lizandro
Litona, a man who had been guilty of
common crimes, and against whom
criminal ohsrges bad been preferred at
San Miguel. The court demanded that
Litona be surrendered. The captain of
the City of Panama, in direct violation
Of law refused to surrender him, but
weighed anchor and sailedaway without
previous permission from the captain Of
the port. By this act he rendered his
vessel liable under the treaty to conRs-
cation. Such was the origin Of the false
reports which have been published.

The cost Of the construction of the
bridge contemplated will exceed $780,
600. Col. Walter Gresham and Hon.
Irwin Mahon are behind the movement,
which it is believed will prove of vast
benefit to the city. An ex pert engineer
will be employed to prepare plans aud
specifications for the propofed bridge.
Colonel Gresham was authorized by the
court to inquire into the county Is ability
to issue and float bonds. There ap-
peals 70 be some question as to the ex.
act amount of road and bridge bonds
the county can issue. since it has a
bonded debt already, and the new law
limits the power of counties which have
debts. The court desires to secure a
construction of the new law by the at.
torney general. This Colonel Gresham
will get when he arrives in Austin.

children, was born in the woods
of Maine near the mouth of the Ken
nebac in 1901. His mother was left
a widow when he was a child, and is
said to have had all she could do to
provide for the wants OF her family.
1t is hoped that when the governor
got 100000, a knight-hood and q
goblet valued at $4,000 as a reward
for finding Spanish treasure ship
that had gone to the bottom half a
century before, he remembered his
mother and made her last days cas-
