Farmer Versus Baker.

A certain baker in business in a
small town in Normandy obtained his
supply of butter from farmer in the
ncighborhood. One day he discovered
that the pats, which were supposed to
weigh three pounds each, were not up
to the standard, and further examina-
tion revealed a steady diminution in
the daily provision. At last the baker
lodged formal complaint against the
farmer, and the affair was brought be-
fore the local court.
"Have you scales?" inquired the
magistrate.
eyes, Monsieur le Juge," was the
reply.
"And have you any weights?" con.
tinued the Judge. An answer this
time in the negative was as promptly
given.
''But how did you manage to weigh
your butter?" asked the magistrate.
Then the farmer related that even
since the baker had taken his butter he
had returned the compliment by buy
ing his bread. The baker supplied
him with three-pound loaves, and he
had used them as weights for his but.
ter. 'It is his fault, not mine, if the
weight is not correct" added the
farmer, who was speedily acquitted
and left the court in triumph with an
escort of friends and admirers. Since
this trial the farmer is said to have
been supplied with more than his due
provision of bread; but he has taken
good care not to fall into the opposite
error, and the baker has now his three
pound pats of butter, full weight, but
not an ounce more.-London Tele.

Saloon-keepers in towns contiguous TO
Wisconsin lumber camps complain that their

effort for many years, and with the aid OF her
coadjutors brigh.ens the monotony of camp
life for many a woodsman, and helps him In

this class of labor. Mrs. Upham closes an

They Call n Meeting and Arrange to
Protect Their Interests.
There was a meeting at the Golden
Eagle Hotel last night Of liverymen and
hack owners, looking toward the perfec-
ton of the association or union to protect
their rights and maintain what they con-
slider reasonable rates and fares
This time their attention is mainly di-
rected to certain undertaking establish
ments which they claim have been re-
ducing the price of hacks in attendance at
funerals.
The hack owners say that the under
takers have so reduced the prices paid
until now they employ anyone they can
get the cheapest, and have got the prices
down as low as 81 for hack at funeral.
They say that hacks are commonly
kept at funeral for several hours, and at
such low rates they cannot compete with
certain class of hacks that only turn out
upon such occasions to the detriment of
those regularly engaged in the business
Their opinion is that So 80 or 81 is fair
charge, and they propose to make a
strong effort to maintain those prices by
uniting and signing a regular schedule Of
rates.
Messrs. Kent, Mitchell and SERVER
were appointed at last nights meeting a
committee to call upon the undertaking
establishments and see what compromise
or arrangements they will make.
Another meeting will take place at the
Golden Eagle at o'clock this evening,
when the committee will report and
further action will be taken.

DEATH OF AN UNKNOWN.
An Old Man Killed on the Railroad
Track in YoIO.
He is Supposed to Have Been Sitting
on Trestle and Struck by
Passing Train.

! An unknown man was found dead by
| the side of the railroad track near Web
! ster Station, eight miles west of Washing
| ton, Yo!o County, last evening. The
/ supposition is that he was struck by some
train.
/ The first that was known Of the acci-
| dent was when a tramp informed Con-
/ ductor Wright of an incoming freight
/ train that a man was lying dead on the
/ embankment at the end of one OF the long
| trestles.
Conductor Wright, on his arrival at the
depot, reported the case to Justice New
! ton of Washington, who is night yard
man at the depot. The latter procured a
| locomotive and boxcar and fastened out
to the spot indicated, where he found the
| body and brought it to this city.
| The deceased was man of apparently
! 20 years OF age. He was dressed in a
i black coat and vest and new blue over
aIls and wore black felt hat,
He was minus one boot, which would
/ indicate that he had it OF his foot when
struck by a passing car The body had a
bad bruIse across the small of the back
as if struck by a step or the corner Of a
car, and the clothing over the wound was
/ torn.
There was not paper or memorandum
/ OF any description on the body that
might give a clew to the unfortunate
victims name.
The railroad men incline to tie belief
that the body had been robbed by tramps
before 1t was removed, as men OF that
class are constantly passing over the rail-
road.
1t is believed that the victim was sit
/ ting on the edge of one of the railroad
ties when struck by passing train, as
several trains passed that point between
and Z O'clock
| While nobody could tell the name of
the unfortunate man, several of the depot
| employees recognized the body as that of
an old man whom they had seen almost
1 dally on the streets and about the depot.
| Natchman Azavedo saw him on Sun
| DAY, and he was then somewhat under
the influence of liquor. He was also
/ seen ABOUT the depot yesterday forenoon,
and then had money, as he was treating
! some persons in a saloon at | street.
/ Deceased wore a short chin beard,
which was very gray. He was also tooth
