All from One Pig,

She was a pretty little thing, and it was
plainly to be seen that she had not been
married long. She tripped into Monroe
avenue grocery store and said to the pro-
prietor:
my husband there was great en-
phasis on the word husband) bought q
couple of hams here some time ago"
''Yes, ma'am," said the grocer.
''They were very nice; very nice indeed" !"
'Yes, ma'am." assented the grocer.
''Have you any more like them?"
"Yes, ma'am," said the grocer, pointing
to row of ten or dozen hanging sus-
pended from the ceiling.
''Are you sure that they are from the
same pig?"
Yes, ma'am," said the grocer without q
quiver.
"Then you may send me two more Of
them," and she tripped out of the store as
she had tripped in, and the grocer laughed
q wicked laugh.-Brandon Bucksaw.

Spending Their II Honeymoon in a Cable Car


1t was pretty cold in the forward COM
partment of one of the Seventh and
Ninth street cable cars last evening. The
short benches on each side of the grip
man were empty save for one figure
that of a petite and pretty brunette in a
warm gray cape ulster, with a big fur
boa around her neck.
The conductor put his head through
the door for moment and came back
chuckling.
''Love's funny thing" he said, as he
got back on the rear platform and rung
up two fares. There's Jim's wife in
there with him. Jim's the gripman, you
know. They've been married pretty near
two weeks, and I'm blamed if she hasn't
put in the best half of the time riding
round with him in the car. They couldn't
afford to take trip off, you see, and so
they're spending tho honeymoon in this
way"
''Yes, SIR" said Jim, "we've been mar
ried two weeks tomorrow May be you
think it funny way to spend the honey
moon, and SO it is. But it's Mary's do
ing. I'd saved up enough to take week
or SO off, but she wouldn't have it. She
says. Well just lay that away for
rainy day, and I'll come and ride on the
car with you Don't you put my name
in the papers or maybe I'd get the
bounce. e."-Philadelphia Press.

Edwin Webster and four dumping boats.
during the terrible gale of Tuesday have
been rescued. They were picked up by the
tug Edgar T. Luckenbach, about fifty
miles off Fire Island. 1t is the general
opinion that the Webster has fouIdered
and that the crew of ten men
are lost. 1t is bare possibility, how
ever. that the Webster's men have
been picked up The capture of the drift
Ing boats was a difficult apd dangerous
task. and the rescued men have thrilling
tales to tell of their experience. They had
been drifting on the high sen in a terrible
freezing gale for nearly thirty-six hours
before they caught sight of their rescuers
and had almost given up hope of being

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 2S.-A terrific
explosion OF dynamite occurred at Honey
brook, small mining town five miles
from HaZelCon, at noon today. Fifteen
Hungarian miners, employed by Dick q
MautZ, were sitting around a stove in Il
workman's shanty, eating lunch, when
several sticks of dynamite, which had been
placed near the stove, exploded, blowing
the shanty to fragments and scattering
the inmates in all directions Two men
Adam Bornick and John Slavltcki-were
instantly killed, their bodies being shock
ingly mutilated. OF the other thirteen
men not one escaped injury. and it is be-
lieyed that number will die.
A special 30 the Wilkesbarre Record
says that there were twenty Slavs injured,
of whom eight in the hospital will die.
Two men are still missing and search
for them is being made.

a strange story comes from neigh
borhood about ten miles southeast of
here.
Oct. "a, 1890, Alex Yohe, an aged
farmer, committed suicide. Yohe's
mind had been unbalanced for some
time, and he imagined that the discov-
cry of natural gas would prove the ruin
alton of the world. He was opposed to
any search for the new fuel, and often
pleaded with his neighbors to leave it
alone. He also imagined that he was a
ruined man, although he owned a good
farm and was in prosperous condition.
He thought his family had been doomed
TO starvation, and he resolved to take
his life, thus terminating his misery.
Recently an Elwood company began
drilling for gas on the Starkey farm and
the work had proceeded nearly to COM
pletion. They were rushing the work
and day and night force of hands were
employed. The night force, however, is
NO longer at work and the following is
the cause: A few nights since, while the
men were at work, they were startled
by slight noise near the derrick, and
on looking around they beheld the form
of old man Yohe walking from the en-
gine to the derrick. One man approached
him and the form suddenly vanished,
only to reaper in few moments.
This sort of thing was kept up for sew
eral nights, the old man making his ap-
pearance at the same spot each night.
The men claimed the place was haunted
and they refused to work any more after
night.-Tipton Cor. indianapolis Senti-

PAPAI POLITICS.

LONDON, Jan. 2S-A dispatch from Rome
says that Cardinal Ledochowski who has
been appointed by the pope prefect of the
propaganda fide. was for time friendly
towards the German government. Subse
quently events occurred which led him to
change his attitude toward the govern
ment and he became one of its most bitter
adversaries. He incurred the hostility
of Prince Bismarck, and the result WAS
that he was sentenced to several years
imprisonment.
He was after time allowed to escape,
and has since resided in Rome. The Ger
man government, it is said, is now trying
to court him. in order to get him TO accept
the policy of the emperor and have him as
an ally near the pope. But thus far his
sentiment against Germany has been un-
appeasable Had he been appointed pre-
feet of the propaganda fide during Bis
marks time, it would have been an act of
defiance towards Germany.

rhereH be no broken cables then our wishes to
And when we pay our nickel We shall always

Nor shall we have to wave both arms to catch

It pleases US TO say of his sweet face we'll be
bereft;
And women who with parasols are jabbing at
our eye,
They never can come near US in the sweet by

And she who wears mammoth hat while at

Oh, then is when with ghoulish glee we'n have
the laugh on her;
For while the one she tortured will the pearly
gates pass through,

And likewise all the fishermen who lie and lio

They'll never more disturb us in the sweet by

These nuisances will nowhere in that city b

But this will please us more than all the jasper,
gold and pearl
Wen no more have to battle with the awful
servant girl.
The ice man and the coal man-it will fill our
hearts with mirth
To know that while they may connive to own
the entire earth
Cannot possess, when later on their time shall
come to die,

And it is pleasant just to think no woman

Who while on earth in public ever toyed with

To get a lead pipe cinoh upon the sweet
