Hares Often Take so the Water

hares taking to the water are by no
means q rare phenomenon. " ''Hav

near London for over fifty years,

observation i'll this respect, but well
remember III my younger days a
hare quite deliberately crossing the
Avon in view Of the tollgate keeper
at Hampton, near Evesham. and
after shaking itself skip off to the
gardens no doubt to regale itself on
the dainty heritage there.
"On another occasion friend of
mine shot at hare not far from the
same place. bat not securing his
prize it ran to the river and swan
across. Another case came to my
knowledge when a hare, pressed han d
by a dog III pursuit, swan over a
brook and made good its escape. The
latter two cases were for dear life.

Tho Use of the Moaocle.

There is a queer fashion, more
prevalent il England tLsn with us
perhaps entirely ccilfined to England
and few anglomani&s,;; in Germany
and this country-cf wearing g glass
before one eye only 'IhE; cust2m
probably originated with short
sighted people who, wishing to he
able to see Ill a distance with one eye
and near at hand with the other,
armed the short sighted eye with 8
glass and left the other IN q condition
in which it worked easily without
one. An English gentleman lately
told me that this fashion arose from
the needs of the hunting field, when
it became necessary Jumping a
ditch, for example--to change the
view from one covering the IWhole
field to one that would correctly e2;l
mate the short distance to be covered
by the horse.
The one glass could then be readily
dropped from the eye, whereas to de
tach pair Of eyeglasses would not
be SO easy But whatever was the
origin, most Of those who Eov wear
a glass in this way Go SO orrulpo5a<;
unknown to the writer, foG 3 gla:ss;
with no refractive power whatever is

Too Big for His Sphere.

The newspaper Office hoy is fond
Of work-that is to say, he loves to
sit and see it accumulate.
He loves to contemplate work III
the abstract. Its details are less in
teresting to him. The sound Of the
call bell is music to his ears. It
never annoys him i'll the least. There
are several authenticated instances
on record where he has been known
to answer the bell. His forte is the
running Of ei'rands-tnose not con
nected with the business of the Office
for himself and friends. He likes
to assist the elevator man and make
himself generally useful outside of
his usual duties The dull routine of
office work is too limited a sphere of
action for his versatility. In fact
the newspaper Office boy is some
thing per Sc. New York Herald.

What sacred sight sees he?
The goldenrod doth grevely nod

To kiss his closing eyes.

Didst worship utterly the unseen God.

FROZEN TO THE TRACK.
when the Engineer Pulled the Throttle
the Engine Did Not Move.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. II The passen-
gers on the Diamond Special from st.
Louis had a strange experience y~ester-
day. The train arrived here several
hours late. When the trainmen and
passengers accounted for the delay by
relating that the locomotive tender had
been frozen to the track for four hours
their friends appeared i%ncredulous.
The train stopped at a water tank
about a mile and a half this side of
Gibson, III. Three or four minutes were
occupied in filling the locomotive tender
When the engineer gently pulled the
throttle the engine pulled vehemently
and the driving wheels whirled around
but the locomotive did moi move. Sand
was let out on the track, but the loco
motive still stood in its place Then
there was an investigation. 1t was
found that the overflow from the tank
while the engine was taking water had
CONCEALED on the trucks of the tender
and frozen the wheels fast to the track.
m C'oIhLuon CuI Iuc lce from tuc
trucks, bat to no purpose. Finally the
conductor walked a mile and a half TO
Gibson, where he telegraphed for an
other locomotive, and when it arrived it
backed up against the frozen train and
bumped it loose. The wheels had been
frozen to the track from 4 O'Clock in the
morning until s
Men who have been in the railroad
business for years say they never heard
of a train having beer frozen TO the

CHANCE TIE

The officials IF the Norfolk and Wes-
tern Railroad company, are and have
been for some time past treating the
people of Durham to a schedule which is
not only unfair, improper and unjust
ness like, but as between a community
of respectable people and corps of rail
road officials and gentlemen, is rude, i'm
polite and indecent. The only passen-
the morning, before day, and for what ?
1t doesn't connect at Denneston, South
Boston or ~Lynchburg, with any other
trains. The fast train leaves here with
passenger coach attached a half hour
later. Holy Moses what is this for?
The passenger train arrives here 7:45 p
M, so that if a person is compelled to
come to Durham, he must necessarily
spend two nights and a day here. The
fast train with passenger coach attached
comes in about the same time the rsgu
lar passenger train does Can anybody
imagine a more idiotic schedule.
The former schedule was V, ry satisfae-
tory to our people, and was changed, we
believe, only because the third train
didn't pay. Well, let's see. If the third
train wasn't necessary, why is it now
necessary to put from two to five engines
on to the train at Lynchburg to move it?
The Durham people have been long
suffering, and sometimes a community,
like an individual, gets to the end of its
rope 1t would be we'll for the Norfolk
and Western people at Roanoke to re
member that Durham merchandise and
Durham people can 60 to the four cor
ners of the earth and all intermediate
stations without the assistance of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and no.
body knows this better than the Durham
business man himself. Let the Norfolk
and Western people beware how they
