April 1892. 1t is now over eight tbs, and
no decision yet. Our local papers recently
said: "The application of William Shultz for
pension has been rejected under the plea that
he is not incapacitated from manual labor. Mr.
Shultz is tailor by trade; is 60 or 20 years
old, and his eye-sght is failing. 1t seems to

acres cleared. i60 acres timber claim, and about
500 acres in pasture, with running water. The
place is surrounded with log fence, and with
the exchange goes the log house. team, stable
and outbniidings. Its value is $500, and he
will take 40 acres well improved and located,
with fruit on it, or will take town property in
part payment. He does not want encountered
property. his is not. and he will give value for
value His is good stock farm in every way,
and good crops be raised. He is not able
to look after stock, being all broken down, and
for this reason he wishes to trade. In writing
he wishes the person to state the number of
acres, value, location, improvements. and how
they want to trade.

Young Inventors.

Children have taken out number of
profitable patents. The youngest inventor
on record is Donald Murray Murphy of
st. John, Canada, who at 6 years of age
obtained from the United States exclusive
rights in sounding toy. Mabel Howard
of Washington at II years invented an
ingenious game for her invalid brother
and got patent for it. Arthur G.. Smith
of Richwoods, Ills, at 10 years invented
and patented rowing apparatus.
When only II years old, Benjamin F.
Hamilton of Boston took out patents on
number of devices for electric and ele-
waited railways. A dispute over con-
tract which he desired to escape from
on the ground of his minority made an
interesting case not long ago before the
commissioner of patents. Samuel Ker,
IS years old, has patented self feeding
pen. Other boys have invented useful
devices for electric signaling, telephon-
ing and cigarette making. George c..
Pyle of Wilmington, Del, at the age of

A Maine Boy Catches a Big Fish.

The day is yet to come when the pro-

the small boy with his widely improvised
rig. Fred Olmstead, a Caribou lad, Is
years old, now has the record of having
caught the largest salmon ever taken
out of the Aroostook river with hook
and line. While this young man was
fishing Saturday with cheap pole and
using angleworms for bait he hooked
large salmon. He had about Is yards
Of linen on 25 cent reel, and without
attempting to "play" the fish he caught
the line in his hands and pulled the sal
mon to the edge of the shore and secured
his prize by throwing himself bodily

pounds, and the young fellow was al
most crazy with delight with his sue
cess, as he had a good right to be.-Lew-
