srr. Grannis' Peculiar Land Title.

Some months since the title to the
north side addition to the town Of Ham
mond, in Lake county, Ind, one of Chi
cago's suburbs, came into question. The
matter was carried into the courts, and
there it was shown that the land in
which the piece the title to which was
in question, being the northwest quarter
of the southeast quarter of section
twenty five, township thirty-seven, range
ten, had in 1855 been by patent granted
to S. s. Grannis. There was record Of
the sale Of the lands in 1857 by one S. w.
Grannis, but no record of any sale by
S. S. Grannis, or purchase by S. W.
Grannis. SO the judge held the title to
the land to be still in S. S. Grannis. a
search to find S. S. Grannis was then in
stituted, and resulted in the location of
one bearing that name in Sidney s.
Grannis, leading and respected citizen
of Red Wing, Mimi.
Now it happened that Mr.. Grannis
last summer had just completed genoa
logical record of his family, tracing it
back to the time when the ancestors first
came to this country, and as another
curious coincidence the initials IS. S"
occur in no other name in the whole list
than in that Of his. rs. W." is there.
Mr.. Grannis says he feels certain that
the S. S. Grannis referred to is himself,
and he accounts for the land being in
his name in this way: Early in the ffties
one Clark Tillinghast, for whom he had
been working in New York state, went
to Chicago. He was bankrupt, and
being unable to hold land in his name
Mr.. Grannis believes he acquired it in
his (Grannis) name, knowing that, in
case he should ever be in position to use
it, Mr.. Grannis would quitclaim it to
him.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.

An Old Soldiers Death.

Baron Gemmingen, lieutenant field
marshal and inspector general of the
Austrian cavalry, who died at his home
in Gutleberg, Austria, two weeks ago,
had been an active soldier for almost
half century.
When, ON the afternoon of his death,
his physician told him he had but an
hour or two more to live, the old man
sat up in bed and called to his military
attendant i'll the next room. The soldier
came. Bring my parade uniform -
commanded the general. The uniform
was brought. "Now put it on me. -
The order was obeyed, while the old SOL
dier gasped heavily for breath.
"Have Fritz send in broiled chicken,
bottle of Sec, and an imported cigar. -
The order was filled, and the tray was
laid on the generals bed. He ate q
little and drank much. He lighted the
cigar. He smoked it half down without
taking it from his mouth. AS he re-
moved it to knock off the ashes, the end
came. He sank back with the cigar
still between his fingers, and died before
it went out.-New York Sun.

Danger in Reaching Land.

a little boat usually brings its occu-
pants safely within sight Of ship or
land. If you are ever cast away by ship
wreck, choose that you may sight a ship
rather than land. Only too often the
fierce storm is weathered and the hope
full crew sail over hundreds of miles of
sunny seas, almost as if on a pleasure
trip, until the glad sight of land greets
their eyes and their troubles seem but a
dream Of the past, when suddenly they
are plunging through a mass Of white
and broken water, and amid the roar Of
crashing waves the little boat is lifted
and twisted and flung about till dashed
into fragments upon jagged rocks, while
those survivors of terrible storm and
shipwreck, of uncounted miles Of open
ocean, are thrown upon the sunny beach
which gladdened their hearts, cruelty
battered or perhaps even lifeless! AL
most always, too, this is due to their not
knowing how to handle their boat at
this crowning, critical moment when but
a few hundred yards remain of thou
sand mile journey from ship to shore

THE DURHAM GLOBE continues with
force and power and patriotic ardor to
urge that fund shall be raised by the
popular subscription to have a North
Carolina exhibit at the Worlds fair
That was the alternative which was sug-
gested when it was asCertained that the
provision made by the legislature was
not available, and THE GLOBE has earn
estly pushed the idea. 1t has done more
than advise and recommend; it started
the list with subscription of $3.50.
This is very handsome. Why may
not others follow such a patriotic lead
In fact we observe that the Blackwell
Durham Tobacco company has with the
usual liberality of it's president SUBJ
scribed o thousand dollars. If others
would now say the word, the matter
would 60 forward. Cannot a hundred
patriotic citizens each contribute $3.50 |?
1t is true that some provision has been
made by the state board of agriculture,
but the cause is one that appeals to the
individual ci ;zen-and any addition to
what the board can appropriate will be
of material assistance. Mr.. Leo D.
Heartt, of Durham will receive all sub
scriptions. We follow THE GLOBE in
urging our liberal aad patriotic citizens
to take the matter in hand and make the
proposed exhibit an assured success.

A Hermit Hunter Found

Last Saturday two hunters from Clear
field who were out in the wilds of the
Alleghanies found dead man in Andy
Reese's camp on Boon's mountain. The
dead mans name was John Gilland,
and for several years he had lived alone
there in the mountain Businesses with
no companion but his dog save when a
hunting party would locate at the camp
for a short season. For months at a
time he never saw civilization, living
exclusively on the game and fish he
could shoot and catch.
For long time he lived in hut made
of bark, fashioned like an Indian tepee
He wandered over the mountain with
dog and gun, and seemed to enjoy his
solitary existence. When found it was
evident that he had been dead several
days, perhaps weeks, and the gaunt and
emaciated form of his faithful dog was
by his side, almost dead from starvation.
And he would no doubt have remained
there and died by the side Of his dead
master and never dreamed of deserting
his post. Dogs sometimes do things
that make us ashamed of our humanity.
The body was taken to Clearfield and
buried on Monday. 1t is presumed that
the man died of pneumonia or some kin
dred disease, as he had pulmonary
ble.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

Snuffed Himself Ont.

In one of the European parliaments,
when the president finds it necessary to
end an argument, he gravely puts on his
cylinder hat. Though it happened near
ly thirty years ago, people still laugh at
the recollection of a certain president
who, to close a celebrated debate, took
up his neighbor's hat by mistake; it was
far too big for him, and falling down
about his ears snuffed him out COM
pletely from the gaze of the crowded
house.-Youth's Companion.

Construction of a Six Ton Engine.

The superintendent of motive power
of the Pennsylvania company, at Fort
Wayne, is now designing a new ten
wheel locomotive, to be known as the
"Class X" 1t will have cylinders 10 by
"a inches, boiler 62 inches in diameter
and the drivers will be 6S inches high
This engine will be the heaviest passen
ger engine yet constructed, and will
weigh 10000 pounds. 1t is designed fo1
use in freight as well as heavy passen
ger service. At present the limited ex
press is being hauled between Pittsburg
and Chicago by two ':Class O" engines
each weighing about $4,000 pounds, but
it is expected that one of the new en-
gines will be able to do the work. New

Result of a Mules Kick.

A mule employed to haul the cars at
the Drum Summon mine, in Marysville,
Mon, became balky when about to enter
the tunnel. OF course the owner urged
him with the whip, which so enraged
the animal that it began to kick vicious
ly. A loose shoe was thus vigorously
propelled from the mules hind foot, and
struck the face of German teamster
who was idly sitting on his wagon, sixty
feet distant. He fell from the wagon as
if shot. His face will be marked for

BY AND BY.

By and by we'll know each other,
AS we never knew before,
When the morn of life is breaking,
And the shadows fee away.
By and by well cross the river,
Enter in the Golden Gates;
Hear the strains of angel music
Softly falling on the ear.
When the misty veil that hides Us
From our dear ones gone before,
Shall be drawn aside forever,
We shall meet them face TO face,
BY and by our cares and sorrows
From the heart shall roll away,
And our souls shall rise triumphant
When the veil is rent in twain.
When grim death shall cross our thresh-
old,
And our dear ones pass away;
While our hearts are torn with anguish
At the thought that we must part,
Heavenly voices whisper softly,
Twill be better by and by"
