bars at the new City Ball station, charged
with assault with deadly weapon.
William Dirks and z. j. Kane claim that
they went to the saloon to collect bill
which Seminard had contracted and had
refused to pay. but found Mrs. Seminard in
charge of the place, who said she knew
nothing of the matter.
They say that she finally called her hus-
band, who, when he learned their errand
secured heavy billet of wood, while his
better half followed suit, and assaulted both
collectors. A free fight followed, in which
all hands were more or less injured. Police
men Feeney aud Special Virgin came to the
rescue, and prevented general slaughter.
AS Seminard was the assailant, he was
arrested, while Dirks and his companion
went to physicians office near by to have
sundry cuts and contusions dressed.
Seminard claims that he never owed the
men any money, and justifes the assault by
saying that they insulted his wife during
his absence, and that he gently elected
them after they had refused TO leave his
premises"

when STOVES were Not common.

Many people are living today who dur,
ing their entire boyhood never saw stove.
The writer of this article, who was boy in
Ohio from 1910 until 1850, remembers dis
tinctly the first stove he ever saw, which
was in 1S47. OF course there were stoves
in existence there before that time, but
they were not common and were to be
found only in the houses of well to do peo-
pie and sometimes in the school houses.
Houses were heated and meals were cooked
at the old fashioned fireplace.

IF You Have to Fight a Boa.

If any reader of this article should ever
be so unfortunate as to experience the en-
brace of a boa constructor it is recommend
ed that he try to release himself by taking
hold of the creatures tail and unwinding
it from that end. 1t can be easily unwound
in that way, but otherwise it is not posi-
BILE. The way to kill snake is not to at
tempt to crush its head, the bones of which
are very hard, but to strike the tail, where
the spinal cord is but thinly covered by
bone and suffers readily from injury. It
is the same with an eel, Hit the tail two
or three times against any hard substance
and the eel quickly dies.
The boas are not venomous, but their
fangs are sufficiently powerful to infict
serious wounds.-Washingto Star.

She MAY Choose.

The late Colonel Burnaby tells us that
when Turcoman belle is to be settled in
life the whole tribe turns out, and the
young lady being allowed the choice of
horses, gallops away from her suitors. She
avoids those she dislikes and seeks to throw
herself in the way of the object of her affec-
tions. The moment she is caught she be-
comes the wife of her captor, who, dis
pensing with further ceremony. takes her
to his tent.
The bride race is also an established Gus
tom among the Kalmucks, and the girls
are such excellent horsewomen that, we
are told, it would be impossible to catch
one against her will.-London Standard

The VaIue of Time.

Each day is an integral part of eternity
itself, having in it the song of the ages and
related to all that has gone before and shall
follow after. Hence, the significance of
that tiny timepiece of twenty four hours is
unutterable. 1t is period to work in and
to progress in; no period will ever be more
important, perhaps, or more far reaching in
effect. Those who kill time, as the saying
goes, are therefore, and in this sense, kill
ing eternity too. In the face of this delft
cation of the future (Which is, after all,
only far off presently at the expense of the
