HEIGHT OF THE TWO OCEANS
The Pacific Ascertained to Be G5S Feet
Lower Than the Atlantic.

PANAMA, Feb. TL-When it was first pro-
posed to open the Panama Canal the scheme
was strongly opposed on the ground that it
would endanger millions of lives. 1t was
asserted that the waters of the Pacific were
more than 100 feet higher than those of the
Atlantic, and that il it flowed through the
ditch it would drown the country all around
on the Atlantic side.
1t now turns out, after careful survey,
that the Atlantic is the higher of the two,
and that the difference is about 81 feet.

About Morris--A Good Story.

About MOrriS--A GOOD story.
We copy the following from til,
Banner, published at Royalton, Nor
rison county, this state:
On our return from the Sissetol
reservation we stopped over day a
Morris. Morris is a lively little towr
and took our eye completely. We
have no hesitation in pronouncing il
the best of the half dozen towns We
visited on our trip. 1t is beautifully
laid out, has handsome and substan,
tial buildings, and, better than all, is
blessed with enterprising business
men. Natural advantages have much
to do with the growth and prosperity
of cities, but not all. The liberal, in
telligent, broad minded business man
is an Indispensable factor in city
building. We had the pleasure of
meeting a number of business men,
among them Mr.. j. d. Good, who
keeps the leading hardware and fur
nitrre store there. Mr.. Good is one of
the old citizens of that place. He is
Jolly, whole-souled fellow, and from
ell appearances has plenty of this
worlds goods, in spite of numerous
reverses. He took delight in showing
us around. Learning that we were
from Royalton he inquired after
"Bill" Dragoo. "Bill used to live
here ten or twelve years ago" said he,
sand was for time high sheriff of
Stevens county. He afterwards
moved to Willard, think, and from
there to Royalton. Everyone liked
Bill. Let me tell you a good joke we
got on him once. He was running a
hardware store and tin shop, and, in
connection with my other business,
had feed store. A young fellow
from Alexandria named Chittenden
was Mr.. Dragoo's timer. One day
Chittenden came over to the store
and got to scuffling with one of my
clerks. Chittenden was slim fellow
and 10 match for my man, who I'M
tremendously took the timer and |
rolled him around in the feed bin,
which was in the back end of the
store. When Bill heard about it he
was mad and came right over, and in
a language more forcible than elegant
wanted to know how many it had
taken to put Chittenden in the feed,
and perhaps they would like to put
him in the feed, and if so their chance
was good, and he defed the whole
house to try it. There were five or
six present and we grabbed him and
carried him bodily to the feed bin, in
spite of his kicks and protests, and
there we kept him for half an hour.
We rolled and rolled him in the feed,
we poked it down his neck and stuffed
it in his bosom; we filled his trousers
withait and rubbed it in his hair and
whiskers. At length he got good ma
;ured, admitted we had the best of it,
and we let him out. Oh, what a
sight he was! He looked like stuffed
nan! AS he walked down the street
10 loft two ctroakS Of food bnhin6 |
him; you could have tracked him for
mile. Bill and I always got along '
irst-rate and was sorry to have him
move AWAY. Give him my regards"
