OF S25 to any person who will fur
nish me with sufficient evidence to
convict the dirty rascals. II can
discover any one who does dynamite
fish in any one of our streams will
promise to make a pretty example
of him. L have been getting trout
fry from the State Fish Commission

them into our mountain streams for
the benefit of the public, but not to
be murdered indiscriminately with
dynamite. Take warning. / am not

Friday, the friends of Mrs. CUncle)
Rob. Middleswarth to the number
of 40 gave her real genuine sur.
prise. 1t being the 52nd anniversary
of her birth Uncle Rob. was de-
tailed to do the work which required
the skill of a shrude detective, i. o.
to entice her from home so as to
give a chance for preparation. He
stands second to no one in planning
a deer or bear chase, and you can
rest assured that his plan for decoy-
ing his wife from home worked like
a charm. Mr.. Middleswarth had
taken his wife over to Michael Au-
miller's where they spent a very
pleasant time, and returned home
about o'clock. Pickets were post
ed TO give notice of their return.
when all the lights were turned low
and all became quiet rs n death

women in very dimly lit room try
ing to keep quiet. Impossible
After Mrs. Middleswarth had lit her
lamp, side door flew open and a
rush for her was made which took
her by such surprise that it put her
III the same fix the Irishman was in
when he fell into dry well, and
was asked whether he was dead.
whereupon he answered, I'm not
dead, but speechless.' After tre-
mendous shour of congratulations
had been bestowed upon her, the
women prepared lunch, under
which the tables fairly groaned, and
to which all-except Michael Hams,
(who dislocated his left lower jaw
eating pickeled cucumbers to sharp
en- his appetite) did ample Justice.
Mrs. Nj. was the recipient of quite a
number of presents for which she
thanked the doners, not so much
for their intrinsic value as for the
evidence of esteem in which she is
held by her many friends. After n
very pleasant time spent together in
recounting "reminiscences, to which
four generations listened-and time
had passed the midnight hour, all
returned to their respective homes
