MURDERED BY MISTAKE.
An Extraordinary Story of Father VIII,
Killed His Son For Another

Killed His Son For Another,
An extraordinary story is reported
from Tarnopol, in Galicia A peasant
named Adam Gawrydo, whose property
is in small village near Zbaraz, in
Galicia, cut his own son S throat with a
kitchen knife by mistake. Some weeks
ago Hebrew merchant, Solomon Barb,
bought old Gawrydo's stock of honey
and paid 30 forms in advance to make
the bargain valid. When the time for
delivering the honey came, the peasant
declared that he could not keep his word
and was prepared to pay any damages
to the merchant that the rabbi might
decide.
They both went to the rabbi, who
said the peasant must pay the merchant
10 forms damages. This be did most
willingly, and both went away together
On the way home they stopped at way
side inn and did not leave it till night.
1t began to rain, and the peasant asked
the merchant to pass the night in his
house. The merchant accepted, and
they went home together. The peasant
prepared bed of straw in the barn,
and when the merchant had laid down
went to his own room after carefully
locking the barn door. This frightened
the merchant so much that he got up,
felt his way about until he found a Sec
ond door, which was bolted from the
inside, left the barn and started to walk
back to the iun.
In the meantime the son of the peas.
ant returned home half drunk, and find
ing the barn door open walked in and
dropped ON the bed of straw prepared
for the stranger. He was soon fast
asleep. The merchant on his way to the
inn met gendarme, who asked him
where he was going so late. Barb told
him all that had happened, and the gen.
darme, thinking he had a dangerous
man before him who was lying to avoid
suspicion, asked him to go with him to
the PEASANTS house. There they found
Gawrydo in the act of washing his
hands, which were stained with blood.
When he saw them he exclaimed, Sure
ly killed you an instant agol' The
gendarme searched the house and in the
barn found the son of the peasant dead,
with his throat cut. The peasant was

AN AMUSING ADVENTURE.
Stupid Corporal, an Embarrassed Cote
mel and Tactful Woman.

mel and q Tactful Woman
A superior officer of the B garr.
son was some time ago the hero of Z
most amusing adventure. Colonel z
had received from Mime. v an in
vitation to dinner, but on the day ap-
pointed, and just as he was about to
start, he was seized with a violent at
tack of neuralgia and decided to forego
the pleasure in store for him The colo
mel wrote letter Of apology, called his
orderly and said:
"Guy, you will give this letter tc
Nine. v and then go and fetch me
my dinner, y
Here the plot commences. Guy set
off after carefully secreting the letter
in his breast pocket along with his to
bacco pouch. He arrived at Nine
VS., delivered his message and
stood as rigid as statue The lady of
the house was surprised and inquired
what he was waiting for. Guy replied:
1.-THE colonel told me to fetch him
his dinner -"
Nine. V saw the mans mistake,
gave certain orders, and the servants
handed the faithful linesman set Of
dishes emitting fragrant odors. More
over, Nine. v slipped half bottle
of champagne into the soldiers pocket
and said:
you Will serve this to the colonel at
dessert. "
Guy came back, and, upon my word,
the restaurant seemed to have provided
Euch host of good things that the colo
mel got up and took his seat at the table.
Over the soup he slowly began to recover
his appetite, to his no small surprise.
The side dishes made him quite raven
oas. with the entrees his pain disap-
peared, he was stupefied at the roast
meat and dumfounded at the game, ana
still his wonder grew at the marvellous
dishes supplied by his chophouse keeper.
At the dessert the orderly, obeying his
instructions, set the bottle of champagne
on the table He was asked for an eX-
PLANTATION, when everything came out
The colonel in despair thought the mat
ter over and then gave his orderly 10
francs, telling him to buy bunch of
flowers and present it from him to
Nine. v. Then our colonel, salts
fed that he had done his best under the
trying circumstances, settled down in
an easy chair and composed himself to
sleep. An hour and half later the door
opened, and Guy walked in and gravely
deposited two franc pieces on the ia
BILE. The colonel questioned him with
some anxiety.
1.-THE lady paid for the nosegay, "
said the honest warrior, apparently well
pleased with the general turn of affairs.
Nine ". on receiving the bou-
quet, had given the soldier 5 francs by
way Of tip, on receiving which the
latter simply replied:
1T isn't 5 francs, please, ma'am; il
is 10 francs.

DR.. McTavish Of Edinburgh was some
thing Of ventriloquist, and it befell
that he wanted lad to assist in the
surgery who must necessarily be Of
strong nerves. He received several ap-
plications, and when telling a lad what
the duties were, in order to test his
nerves, he would say, while pointing to
a grinning skeleton standing upright in
a corner, Part of your work would be
TO feed the skeleton there, and while
you are here you may as well try to do
So
A few lads would consent to a trial
and received a basin of hot Cruel and a
spoon. While they were pouring the
hot mess into the skull the doctor would
throw his voice SO as to make it appear
to proceed from the jaws of the bony
customer and gurgle out, "Br-r-r-gr-uh
that's hotl'
This was too much, and without ex.
ception the lads dropped the basin and
bolted The doctor began to despair Of
ever getting suitable helpmate until a
small boy came and was given the cruel
and spoon.
After the first spoonful the skeleton
appeared to say, "Gr-r-r-uh-r-br, that's
hoti''
Shoveling in the scalding Cruel as
fast as ever, the lad raped the skull
and impatiently retorted, well, blow
it, carn't yer, yer ould bony''
The doctor sat down in his chair and
fairly roared, but when he came to he
engaged the lad on the spot.-London
