"A certain bright-eyed young lady
of the town has cast her spell over two
of the young men. Whether she has
shown any special favor to either Of
them Rumor sayeth not. But at any
rate the two candidates for her smiles
have regarded each other with any
thing but friendly feeling. Last
Tuesday night they met on the North
Side and proceeded to settle their rival
claims as in the days of old by an ap-
peal to arms, the weapons used being
those furnished by nature. The next
morning they were taken before the
justice who hardhartedly proceeded to
qucnch their spirit of shivalry by tax
ing one of them six and the other eight
dollars for fighting on the streets.

20. H. Day of New London spent
Sunday in town. Mr.. Day is a teacher
of some ten or twelve years experience
and was in town for the purpose of
making an application for the princi-
palship of our schools. He is an edu-
Gated gentleman holding life certifi-
cate from the state. He has good
recommendations from different pla-
ces where he has taught. The board
has his application under consideration
and if writing to the references fur
nished they find his teaching ability is
equal to his educational qualifications
they will probably engage him.
YESTERDAY one of the saloon keepers
received little lesson that will probal-
bly, make him cautious as to who he
sells liquor to in the future. Last
Saturday evening some of the boys
fifteen and sixteen years old got drunk
and made considerable noise at the
dance and on the streets and one was
arrested and fined. His father paid
i the fine and at once swOre out a warrant
for the saloon keeper who sold him the
LIQUOR. The case was tried wednesday
before Justice Graham and the party
found guilty and fired five dollars and
costs amounting to twenty three dol.
ars and forty cents. District attorney

and D. E. Riordan for the defense.

Children Cry for
Pitchers Castoria,
Peaceable Use for Gun Barrels.

The demand for wrought iron pipe
began with the invention of illu11i-
mating gas, but the introduction of IL
umina ting gas at frs was very slow
in consequence of prejudice and want
of appreciation of its Importance
About the time of the invention of IL
Illuminating gas, which was in the lat
ter part of the seventeenth century,
the long war between England and
France was drawing to a close. 1t had
made a great demand for gun barrels,
which were largely made at Wednes-
bury, England. and at it's close it left
a large amount of this stock on the
market, which there being no other
demand for itl was used for the small
gas tubes by screwing the small end OF
one tube into the large end of another.
This supply apparently covered the de-
mand for small tubes for some time.
and the larger ones We're made in the
same manner.-Iron Age

obliged to drop the rope and let go.
A smart little. Nubian boy then took
up the chase. He got hold of the rope
and eventually tied it round tree.
and after awhile we led the animal
quietly back to the station.
But one of the most alarming ad-
ventures that ever overlook me whilst
l was transporting animals was that
which occurred once when twelve ele-
plants broke away from me and rushed
through the streets of Vienna. The
whole twelve had been deposited in a de-
pot, where they had to rest for two days.

with these six elephants, the other six
stealthily and quietly pulled up the
iron rings by which they were fastened
to the ground, trumpeted loudly, and,
before l knew what had happened, the
twelve animals were rushing through
the streets of Vienna. At last, after a
long chase, caught the biggest ele-
phant and led it to the station, the
Others following quietly enough. But
my troubles were not over yet, for
hardly got the first four into a railway
van when the others began to howl.
The four elephants in the train
plunged and kicked about, and at last
they broke their ropes and ran out of
the van, followed by all the others,
and into the open streets. Then began
another hunt up the big fashionable
streets, down little courts and alleys,
once after one which ran into big
shop, all over big park, and this
went on for three hours, until, at last,
greatly to my relief, l got them safely
into the station and packed into the
vans for their iOurnev

This diminutive little creature-only
about six inches long-is neatly ar

black and white underneath, upon the
throat appearing the three distinctive
collars, first of black, then of white,
then of black again. Sea-cow, or, in

name for the hippopotamus, and the

designation (sea-cow bird) from it's fire.

behemoth. Running about the back
and head of that amphibian, picking
off insects and other odds and ends,
this little plover seems perfectly at
home, while the sea-cow apparently &C
cepts its offices in good part.
This friendship between wild and
often fierce quadrupeds and small birds
is of common occurrence in Africa and
other countries; the rhinoceros, the
buffalo, and the Burchell's zebra,
among others. all having their pecul-

die, entering its mouth, as it lies with
its jaws wide open, and cleansing it of
