Fought To a Zeal Finish.

A scientific boxing contest to the
finish or in other words what seems to
have been regular prize fight. took
place between two of the male birds on
tine ostrich farm at Riverside Il few DAYS
ago. The birds fought vicioasly with
their feet till one succeeded in dealing
the other knockout blow. The defeat
ed bird died in u few days, causing a loss
of about $500 to its owners.
1t is said that there is no living crea-
ture that can kick harder than the os-
strich. 1t is almost certain death for a
man or beast To receive the full force Of
one of its kicks when it is in a fit of
rage. The keepers Of the ostriches saw
that it is almost impossible to separate
them when they are engaged in a fierce
fight. and it is highly dangerous to at
tempt it.-Pomona Progress.

CAUSED az CONFESSION.
Troesse In the Ranks Of the Q.l.cy Epssco.
raslans,


pa'lans,
Down in Quincy, the former see
city Of the present Quincy diocese, of
the Protestant Episcopal church,
there is n division on the question Of
the introduction OF the confessional.
Father Huntington is making some
stir among the Episcopalians of the
city. says the Quincy Herald. MANY
OF the congregation of the Good
Shepherd. think he is too high
churchly for any use, but others de-
clare that he is nice enough to eat.
Some of the old fashioned and nom
progressive sort Of Pensioners de-
clare that the church is about to
split on the rock of ritualism.
''Can we draw our truth from n
transient and unaware angel, rather
than teacher who is with us sos
days ia the year. and is acquainted
with our wants?" asked one of the
most active and prominent; members
of the church. 1T we are to 90 Ro.
manism believe in going it at once
and being frank about it. We can
get monk from Vine stree: at n
moments notice tina; carries a
s;outcr iiagcliation cord than Father
Huntington ever dare to wear. Our
Catholic friends are glad TO welcome
Us. doubtless. but il we are to be
with them. want at least the credit
Of going frankly and fairly to them,
and acknowledging that they are
wholly right. and we are partly
wrong. am satisfied that we are i'm
danger. and am afraid it will not
wholly subside when our missionary
friends have gone"
These rather rough-shod senti-
mcnts are echoed by several other
members Of the church. but the
young generation feel quite differ
emily. Father Huntington is Young,
active. handsome. ardent, and SO
spiritual that they revere him. Then
he talks so smooth and entertainincly
that they are converted to his thou "ht
aud will he advocating his single tax
ideas before week is out. The
principal regre: is that he is sworn
to celioacy.
Caused Considerable CONSERVATION.
The introduction OF the confession
al has caused considerable conster-
nation. One young married woman
remarkcd: Il think il is perfectly
right that we should tell our troubles
and naughty deeds TO some one who
ran sympathize with us and extend
spiritual consolation. know when
we do wrong we feel better when we
tell some one about it,"
But when the reporter murmured
that she could not possibly do any
wrong she exclaimed, don't YOU be
so sure about it,
Father Huntington does not exact
compulsory confession, but he COM
mends and advises il and himself as
sumes the functions of priest as the
mediator between the sinner and his
Savior. So far none but ladies have
attended the confession. and these
have usually been young ones.

The editor from somewhere has
complied the following pathetic. po-
etc and pessimistic account of the
rise and progress of ram, owned by
one Mollie; surname unknown. 1t is
reproduced. by permission. in the
Gencsco News. from which source
The Argus gains authority to print
il one time:
Mollie had little ram black rs
rubber shop. and everywhere that
Mollic went he emigrated. too. He
went with her to church one day. the
folks hilarious grew TO see him walk
dcmurely into Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his
angry passions rise. and gave it an
unchristian kick between the sad
brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle;
the deacon followed fast and raised
his foot again: alas that first kick
was his last. for Mr.. Sheep walked
slowly back. about a yard. It's SAID.
and ere the deacon could retreat he
stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that ere sheep; several
well directed butts just placed them
in a heap. Then rushed they straight
way TO the door. with curses long
and load. while rammy struck the
hindmost man and showed him
through the crowd.
The minister had often heard that
Kindness would subdue the fiercest
beast AHA" he said. "l'll try that
game on YOU" And so he kindly,
gently called: Come rammy. ram
my. ram; to see the folks abuse you,
! grievcd and sorry am"
The ram quite dropped his humble
air and dropped from of his feet.
and when the parson landed he was
near the hindmost seat. And. as he
shot out of the door and closed il
with slam. he named a California

The Building committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
surrendered the keys, and formally
turned over the building to the board
of directors on Jan. 1. 1t was
supposed that after this act the COM
mittee would be discharged, but af-
ter five years of faithful service they
were not the ones to step aside,
while there were accounts unsettled.
Last evening the committee, on in
vitation of the chairman, A. NJ.
Blakesley, met at his residence os-
tensibly to talk over business, and
audit outstanding accounts. 1t APP
peared, however, that they had it in
for the treasurer. +. Is. Mckown,
and had taken this means of getting
even. After some preliminary bust
ness. the parlor doors were suddenly
thrown open, and Mr.. Blakesley, on
behalf of the committee, presented
MIR. Mckown with a handsome COM
bination cabinet and book case.
Mr.. Mckown was taken completely
by surprise, but made very feeling
response. Elaborate refreshments
were then served, and the remainder
of the evening spent in social inter-
course.
Mr.. Mckown's duties as treasurer
have been particularly arduous, and
have not only required great deal
of labor. but self sacrifice as well.
