Dropping q Ball 555 Feet.

A few years ago, several well-known
baseball players attempted the impossi-
BILE feat of catching and holding a reg
ulation Spaulding dropped from the top
of Washington Monument. The expert
ment was tried by Trott, Hines, Baker,
Snyder and several lesser lights in the
fraternity, but none of them succeeded
in or even materially checking its pro-
gress to the ground. The men named
above were all experts at their trades,
but it is evident that they gave their
sports more attention than they did
their ssphilosophy" during their school
days; otherwise they would have known
that body dropped from such height
would be travelling with speed Of one
hundred and eighty-seven feet per Sec
ond at the time of its contact with the
earth. The reason why no living man
could catch and hold ball travelling
with such velocity is plain enough by
making some hasty comparisons: The
greatest distance ball has ever been
thrown was 135 yards, one foot and one
half inch; the longest shit" on record is
few inches over 200 yards. In this
last instance the ball was sent into the
air at an angle of forty-fve degrees.
Now, mind this: "Allowing the same
ball to have been hit in the same direc-
ton, at the same angle, with sufficient
force to give it the velocity at the start
ing point that it would acquire in fall
ing from height OF 555 feet, it would

DISCOUNT FOR SECOND HAND.

DISCOUNT FOR SECOND HAND.
For week she had felt an exalted as
surance that the titled foreigner would
ask her to be his wife, and when she
finally saw him at her feet in the attitude
of supplication she was enabled to bear
herself with fortitude. She had read
that the women of his country never
blushed, and she was averse to doing
that which in his eyes would be unbe-
coming. Consequently, no sanguinary
tint mantled her cheeks.
ssNy dear Count"
She extended her slender hand assur.
ingly toward her superior.
s.Pray rise"
He did as she bade him. Presently
they might have been seen slit ing to-
gether upon lavender divan.

He was noticeably thrilled by her man

ssYou have been married before2"
His ardent gaze fell.

ssMy dear Count
She smiled sweetly.
ss--I am informed that your former
bride brought dowry of 800, ,000."
The tilted foreigner murmured assent.
"My dear Count"
Her eyes were turned to his, full OF
soulful earnestness.
s.-I take this occasion to inform you
that you need not expect more than $780,
600 with me"
He started violently.
"No, sir" she declared, with sug
gestion of vehemence, "no more"
tsBut-"
ssMy dear Count
She raised her hand as if to deprecate
argument.
THE rule is, half price for second
hand goods. That's what pa pays for
pork barrels that have been used, even
though they are as good as new"
After few moments reflection he pro.
tested that he loved her.
And SO they were married. -Cincin-

Bank Of wil,not A,...~


The assignment of the Bank of
Wilmot under the date Of April 81,
has teen precipated by the failure of
the Bank of Milbark, VIM. NJ,
Sargent, Of Minneapolis, being presi-
dent Of the bank. The bank of Will
mot was perfectly solvent, but in
order to protect its creditors and to
avoid other complications, W. j
Speer, the cashier, deemed it best tv
make an assignment. Depositors
will be paid in full, 20 percent of
their deposits being now in available
cash. Mr. Speer said that his friends
in Aberdeen, after seeing the con-
dition of his bank, urged HIM not to
make'the assignment, as they were
ready to make the necessary advance
to pay depositors in full, but, owing
to the Bank of Milbank assigning
and the relation OF the two banks
being SO intimate, the assignment
was necessary. The liabilities to
depositors, there being no other
creditors, is $4,000; available cash
$4,000; paper, $4,000; balance on
liabilities, $4,000. j. A. Munro, of
Milmot, is the assignee.
