Hauling away sweet corn and returning with

Not many can boast of good crops in this

Corn is only ordinary, potatoes very inferior,

Buckwheat looks more promising here than
for many years, and the acreage is larger too.

A LIVELY CHASE.
A Young Tough Abused Sausage Man
He Had to Run For 1t and Unfortun.
ately Escaped.
E. H E.

Between 9 and 100 clock last evening,
a young tough the worse for liquor,
thought it..would be fun to impose upon
a sausage man, who was selling his
Frankforts near the Falmouth Hotel.
He invited several of the by ISLANDERS to
eat sausages at his expense. and then
told the little Jew that he had no mon
ey and couldn't pay for them. The lat
ter demanded his money, and the tough
struck him. n! IA
The little fellow saw the tough after
standing near Donahue's clothing store
in Monument square. He went and ex-
planned to Officer Merrill and led him
across /. to where the. fellow stood. The
Jew was ahead, .and going up seized his
assailant by the collar, but the latter,
who was nearly twice as tall, broke
away and made for Centre street, with
the Jew in hot pursuit, and Officer Mer-
rill close behind.
They dashed down Centre street, up
Spring. and down South, and the tough
escaped, because he was a feet runner.
But, the sausage man will have him
when he sees him, and there will be a
day of reckoning some time.

Every one who has fixed income of
any kind ought so to regulate his expend-
itures as to bring them within it. This
is habit which should be ineulcated in
the very earliest years. The child with an
allowance for it's pleasures be it ever SO
small, should never be suffered to exceed
it or to draw upon the future. The youth
should be taught to undergo self denial
rather than to borrow the money to obtain
a qualification. There is more true indie
pendence in this lesson than in hundreds
of shouts or boasts of liberty which too Of
ten only convey the idea of casting off
duty and obligation. Such instruction,
however, will be useless while example
points the other way The father and
mother who live beyond their means, who
incur debt for the pleasures of the table,
Or for Dress or for the vanity of competing
with neighbors and keeping up certain
style of living, or for private indulgence
of any kind, need never to expect to Guilt
yate in their child an honorable determi-
nation to owe no man anything. -Romona

A Beautiful Dream

Breezy hlil-sides, green meadows, dark
cool woods, and pebble-strewn paths by
the sea -curtailed by the f1eecy SUNNI er
cloud and gemed with thousand bios
soms-these are Natures temple. And
every flower before us, il we will but
listen, is whispering the stra nge story
of the part it plays in the marvellous
drama of Life. Does the clover think
you, breathe for naught the mute per-
suasions of is perfume? Wait NOM ent
and you will see yonder bumble-bee
alighting to sip it's nectar, and none
other of the tiny folk that reign in the
air can intrude at that banquet, for he
alone has lip long enough to dip into
the tube of sweets and rifle it's stores.
When American red clover was sown in
Australia it thrived nightly, but set no
seed. And why? Simply because it's little
minister, its faithful servitor, the bum
ble-bee, had been left behind. When he.
too, became an emigrant, when plant
and insect once more met each other.
the clover multiplied as freely as it did
in it's native land. These, and hundreds
of other curious hits of interplay between
blossoms and their marr;ers, are unfold
ed and illustrated in The Wild Flowers
of America, now being published with
the PRESS. Parts to - are ready.

He preached in the little white church here
Yesterday and it was so crowded that neople
sat in chairs in the aisies. 1t was a noyer-
fuI discourse in defence of the Christian
religion. as somewhat shaken by the Parli-
ament of Religions at Chicago, and the in
tellieence of the representatives of other
religions; intelligent however, by virtue of
their contact with Christian civilization.
Mr.. Hughes is salso good bowler. He
made a record of 27S up here this year and
headed the list till another Portland man
made 285. 1t should be3stated that the alleys
are not the regulation thing, that the pins
are very near together and that there is
more or less of trough down the middle.
Perhaps that accounts for certain Young
lady's score of 277, which would be phe-
nominal at the Portland Athletic club, and
which, come to think oft, is quite phe-
nomenal anywhere.
But then, there are lots of smart girls in
Jackson, and the way they play tennis is
very refreshing to the onlooker, if some
times fatiguing to their masculine oppo-
nents. There was a tournament the other
day in which the girls played nearly as well
as the boys.
The American summer girl is still chat
terer and probably always will be, but she
is learning the value of muscle and the
satisfaction of knowing how to use it.
Ten years ago the young ladies' at Jack
son couldn't play tennis as they do now,
even if they had had the courts to play on,
much less could they ride bicycles.
There lisa famine Of. blueberries in the
mountains this year. On the high slopes
and peaks where the pals are accustomed
tosbe filled with rakes, as cranberries are
gathered, there are now scarcely any to be
gathered by hand Raspberries also were
very scarce. But the wild Strawberries last
spring were unusually abundant. This is
all explained by the people here as due to
the weather. The unusually early warm
days last spring started the strawberries so
that they We're strong enough to resist the
late cold days that blighted the raspberry
and BURBERRY blossoms. There will be a
large crop of blackberries however.
1t seems that the Yankees who go west
do not monopolize all the enterprise. A
Western woman.from st. Louis, who was
visiting here, was much fascinated with the
pretty baskets, made by the Indians, and
knowing that they were novelty Oh the
banks of the Missouri. saw an opportunity
for business. She was not specializing for
herself, but for the church. Those baskets
would sell like hot cakes in the church fairs
of her Western home. She bought up all she
could find and then set the Indians to work
for her making them to her special order.
She bought $500 worth of them in all, and
took them all home with her in an enormous
box. Doubtless they will sell for $500 at.the
church fairs in St. Louis.

CARELESS BOYS.
A Revolver in the Hands of One Gives An
other Bad Wound in the Knee-Little
Willie Tierney May Be Injured for Life.


Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
Mrs. Dennis H. Tierney, who lives at 212
YORK street, was terrified by the arrival
home of her little son Willie, aged 13
years, supported in the arms.of his broth
er and three other boys. His trousers
leg was soaked with blood, which was
flowing from bad wound in,his knee.
lie had gone out beyond 1.-The ''know-
nothing station" in Scarboro that after
noon with party of other boys, one of
whom had revolver. He was 10 years
old and his name was Albert Bartlett.
He was old enough to know better than
to be firing revolver among crowd
OF boys, but that is what he did. He
discharged it eight times, Willie's com
panion said, and he was standing near
Willie, with the revolver, pointing down
ward, trying to remove the empty cart
ridges, when a cartridge that wasn't en-
pity exploded unexpectedly. The bullet
struck Willie close beside the knee-pan
of the left leg, and lodged farther down
in the leg. He was carried to the $50
freight by his compan ions, and thus
brought home.
DR.. Hutchinson was called and extract
ed the bullet. 1t hadIglanced along the
bone, but how much thatsis fractured or
splintered cannot be told till today. The
bullet came from 32-calibre bull dog
revolver, rather dangerous firearm.
Albert Bartlett. who had the revolver,
is brother of George Bartlett, the spot
ter in the Durant House seizure case.
1t seems that a large number OF boys,
and even yong men, are in the habit of
going out on the 1 O'Clock freight to
swimming place in the Nonsuch river,
known as the Diamonds. They have
escaped railroad accident thus far, but
if they continue to carry bulldog reyol-
vers it is pretty dangerous practice.
Young Tiernan was fortunate in being
struck in the leg. That bullet would
easily kill a man. According to Bart
lett's story to Mrs. Tierney, he was simp-
~ firing the revolver into the tree tops
at nothing in particular.
