THE PRoVocATIoN WAS GREAT.
An Old Connections Teacher Thrashcs a
Resentful Young Man,

When William Sturges taught
school in the little red school house
on the hill in the town of Wilton,
Conn, over forty years ago, hewas
considered a strict disciplinarian
among his pupils. One of them
was Lorenzo Olmstead, whom Mr..
Sturges had occasion to thrash
soundly one term for bit Of devil
try. The affair caused some talk
at the time, according to the Will
tonites, but they all upheld Mr..
Sturges
The other day, when Mr.. Stur-
ges, now man approaching his
10th year, went to the post-ofice to
get his daily mail, he met son Of
his former pupil, named Harry
Olmstead, who is just 21 years old.
Young Olmstead stepped up to the
old man and remarked:
"Mr. Sturges, many years ago
you gave nay father, Lorenzo by
name, who was one Of your students,
a terrible thrashing. Do you re-
member it?"
The old schoolmaster replied in
the affirmative, aud added that he
deserved it.
"Well, said young Olmstead, 81
am going to lick you, my dear sir,
and pay up that old score with com
pound interest"
off you think you can do it you
can begin now," said Mr.. Sturges.
Some further words were ex-
changed, and it was proposed that
they put up some money on the re-
suit. Olmstead borrowed so cents
and placed it in the hands Of Louis
I Verlin, which amount Mr.. Sturges
promptly covered from an oldsheep-
skin pocket-book.
A ring was formed and the old
man put up his fists. Young Ohm
stead, who had considerable conf
dence i'll himself because he had
taken lessons in boxing from Nor
walk sport, sailed in. He can not
tell to-day exactly how it happened.
Mr.. Sturges warded off his blows.
seized him by his coat collar and
: the seat Of his trousers and shook
l him until his teeth ratified. Then
he motioned for more room and be-
: gan to pillow up the ground with
young Olmstead's nose. After get
ting quite a furrow he narrowed it
with the youngsters legs, and final
: ly let him up. The young man was
now thoroughly mad, and, forget
ting the old score, with interest, he
was going to pay on his fathers ac-
count, started in to pay off the pres
ent one, Again the old man took
hold of him, but this time he lost
his footing and came down on top
of his youthful antagonist. He
seized Ollnstead's neck between his
teeth and bit him severely. Then
he let go there and got hold Of an
ear, and he was chewing away on
that with great vigor when the by
I ISLANDERS interfered and separated
the fighters.
! Olmstead was a sorry sight His
clothing was useless, even feracorn-
= field scarecrow, and his face and
ear we're bleeding freely. The old
y man was excited, and his collar was
awry, with the old-fashioned stock
twisted around under oneear. No
mark Of the ARRAY was on him
!, Claiming the stakes, which were
J handed over to him, he went home
= while Olmstead sought as ecludeC
spot to make repairs to his ward
robe. The affair created much tall
at Wilton, because Mr.. Sturges is
y school visitor, town auditor, and
= pillar of the church. Butthe prov
ocatiOn was great.

CHINESE HleHwAYMEN.
The Contest and Most Complete Robbery

The mandarin junk upon which
Twas sailing down the Blue river Of
China lay, for the day, at the wharf
of Nankin.

the ancient capital. In the after
noon | took the common wheelbar-
row conveyance, to visit the tombs
Of Che Mipgs. The coolie who
trundled it said he could take me
there and back by shutdown.
A thunderstorm delayed us, and
the sun Went down while we were
among the hills, two miles, at least,
from the city.
The coolie insisted upon my stop
ping at one more ruin, in a grove
just off the road. 1t was SO dark
that | could not have seen it, at the
best, and I told him to hurry back
to the city. 1t is hard, however, to
convince a Chinese coolie of any
thing, and l was notsurprised when
he turned deliberately toward the
ruin.
It was almost dark in the grove,
and as we approached the indistinct
masses of masonry they gave me a
strong suggestion of all sorts Of
ghosts and COLLINS.
Suddenly the coolie began to run.
If he had been going the other way

when my arms were unceremoni-
ously caught in a moose andsecurely

a box.
It was all dono so quickly that
when it was over | could still feel
upon my hands the imprint Of the
branch which l had caught when
falling out of the wheelbarrow.

On a recent trip down the road r.
NJ. Wright CHANGED to meet DR.. Kelley,
who is creating such as..ensation through
out the United States by his wonderful
discovery for the cure of the appetite for
liquor and opium. Mr.. Wright also met
some of those who had been treated.
In dismissing number of cured patients
the doctor said in effect: ''You come
here drunkards and 1 dismiss you as
gentlemen. You are cured, and will
never again crave intoxicating drink
unless = new appetite is Termed by
gradual renewal of the habit. 1 now give
fair warning not to risk another case by
so doing, as will never receive you
again into any institute of mine for any
price or under any consideration. This
is not an inebriate asylum to which
you may come and sober off every time
you choose to tipple yourselves into the
drunkard's habit. give you only one
chance in life time" This impressive
address ought to make reformed inc
briate pause and consider before again
starting on the downward career. A
