II Used to Be.
Some time ago Detroit man who il
fond OF hunting was called to the great
State OF Texas on business, and think.
ing he might get day or so off to in.
dulge In the pleasures of the chase he
took his gun and hunting parapher-
MALTA along with him. He was not
mistaken, and one day he found him
self at small station, where it was
reported that good shot might have a
chance to fill his game bag. 1t was a
dreary place, and the only man in
sight was native of the most pro-
nounced type, who ''kept the station. -
To him the Detroiter addressed him
self a few minutes after the train had
departed.
SIS there any game around here?"
he asked.
''Not noav." he replied sadly enough.
This was not hopeful to the hunter.
mot now?" he queried. ''When
did it get that way? l was told this
was fine place for it,
The man sighed.
1T used to be-" he said, ''and right
over thar in that vacant house, Big
Dick run about the neatest place thar;
wuz in Texas. But it's all busted now.
and l amt heerd poker chip rattle
in many a long day, mister
oh" laughed the Detroiter, 81 don't
mean that kind of game. I mean sport,
don't you know
AN that's busted. too" sighed the
native. sitting down on barrel. 1T
used to be. mister. that right acrost
frum Dicks wuz place that you could
git chicken fights and dog fights and
sluggin' matches and most anything in
the line Nv sport you wanted. but it
amt so no more, and amt been fer
powerful long time
Again the Detroiter laughed.
You don't understands me yet,
see," he said. what want to know
is if there is any shooting around
here?''
The native sighed more profoundly
than ever and there was a faint suspi- |
zion of moisture in his eyes.
':Shootin'?" he said, with mourn
'ul quiver in his voice: 'shootin'?
What, thar hain't been a man shot
here er hereabouts fer ten ye'rs to my
,ertain knowledge, an I'm a-tellin'
'er, mister, that I'm afeerd we hain't
lever goin' to see them good old times

The poor fellow was so visibly af-
ected at this point that the Detroiter
'ffered him his well-filled flask and
Ifter he had braced up bit he was
.ble to tell the visitor what he really &,
wanted to know.-Detroit Free Press.

The Kelso Festival was a success.

The church festival at Kelso Tues
day was splendid affair. There
were nearly two thousand people in
attendance and there was something
there to please everybody. The ladies
of the church had prepared for the
large crowd and they had an abun-
dance of everything to eat on the
tables. The voting of gold headed
cane was a feature of the entertain
ment that made things lively. The
cane brought over one hundred dollars
and it was voted to Mike Heiserer.

Big ROLLS OF Money chaneed Hand,

Big Rolls OF Money Changed Hands.
Talk about money being scarce and
times hard. The foot race that took
place on the Fair grounds Wednesday
evening sets at rest all such ideas.
The race was foot race between an
Illinois man and a jackson man-dis-
tanee one hundred yards. The friends
of both parties were on the grounds
and great rolls of money were put up
on the result of the race. One man
from Illinois, we understand, lost four
hundred dollars he put up on the man
from the sucker State.

Don't DO II.

Judge Riley, at the last term of the
Circuit Court, gave some very explicit
instructions in regard to officers pur-
chasing jurors and witnesses fees.
It is a violation of law for an officer
to purchase fees and we hope none of
our officials engage in this kind of
business.

A Mothers Way.

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
boy, he was very DESTROYS of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him, however, and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers in
general, found that if the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale, the
keynote and how to find it, and the time
of the notes.
This was only ''book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon species Of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as he
expressed it, 'soon began almost to sing
with us"
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that bore no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
out of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had found
out the way.-Youth's Companion.

A city of Roof Gardens.

The majority of the houses in Buenos
Ayres have but one story, whose fiat
roof serves all the purposes of Yankee
lawns and door yards. While the patios
are frequently utilized as dining and sit
ting rooms, it is the universal custom to
promenade in the cool of the day on the
housetops, to sit there at morning and
evening enjoying the refreshing breezes,
extensive views and varied panorama in
the street below. The children find
their favorite playground on the roof.
There the nurses bring their infant
charges, the seamstress her sewing and
the maid her mistress bedraggled fnery
to put in order again. The clothes are
dried and aired and ironed atop, and
during the cheated term of this dew
less latitude thousands bring up their
beds and sleep with starry sky for a
Observation-Disclosures Record.

The Presidents BIunder.

The President has blundered in
undertaking to restore the queen to
the Hawaiian throne. 1t is always
a blunder for u nation to under
take what it cannot carry out, and
Mr.. Cleveland knew, as he now ad-
mits, that he could not carry out
his "plan" if either the queen or
the Provisional Government de-
clined to assent to it.
The rule that should govern this
country is "hands off" Let the
Hawaiians know that the United
States recognize the powers that
be. Let there be no more ridicu-
lous sentiment over the wrongs
done to Liliuokalani. Hawaii has
a respectable government at last.
Let it alone-New York World

Paul Neumann, assisted by w.
III. Cornwell, yesterday morning
made a cowardly attack on Mr.. Fl.
n. Castle, the editor of this paper.
The cause of the attack was the
last few lines of an article which
appeared in Tuesdays ADVERTISER.
They were as follows:
"s = So that we are forced
by the very laws of thought them
selves to the conclusion that for
once either Mr.. Neumann or Mr..
Wilson is speaking the truth. = ="
Neumann wrote a note to Mr..
Castle, demanding an apology.
Mr.. Castle answered telling Neu-
mann that he must have specifica-
tions before he apologized for any
thing he had written. Neumann
replied with very short note,
again demanding a retraction and
enclosing the above paragraph un-
derlined.
Mr.. Csstie, however, decided that
an apology was not due the ex-
queens attorney, and yesterdays
paper appeared without the wished
for humble talk that Neumann had
deemed himself entitled to. This
enraged the erstwhile genial Paul,
and he laid for Mr.. Castle, armed
with . the large stick that he
uses to help him pursue his daily
walks. AS Mr.. Castle came up
Merchant street shortly before IL
O'Clock, Neumann stopped him,
and asked if "that apology was
going to be made" Mr.. Castle
eaid, it was not, whereupon, Neu-
mann, without any warning,
struck him on the upper lip. Mr..
Castle, who was standing hold
ing his bicycle, was for the
time unable to attend to Neu-
mann's case. He Immediately
dropped his wheel, however, and
started to return his assailant's
blow, when the valiant Cornwell
seized him from behind, and held
on with all his little might. AS
soon as Neumann saw that Mr..
Castle was safely held by Corn
well, he started to strike out with
his heavy cane, and struck Mr..
Castle three severe blows, two on
the head, and one on the left fore
arm, which, as soon as he could
jerk away from Cornwell, he raised
to protect himself from the vicious
attack. The two blows on the
head both drew blood, and one
made a bad cash on the left side
of the head. A number of people
then interfered, and separated the
combatants.
Mr.. Castle, when seen last even
ing, said:
"Neumann struck me a number
of times; just how many, / was
unable to determine in the heat of
the moment. Cornwell seized me
from behind at the moment the
first blew was struck, and / was
practically helpless during the few
seconds that Neumann was WELD
ing his cane, and before | could
get away from him, people had
interfered. If Neumann says that
Cornwell did not help him, he
lies, and he knows it. / do not
know what motive Cornwell may
have had, but what he did, was to
hold me while Neumann struck
me. 1t was a most cowardly
assault, two against one."
1t was common talk on the
streets yesterday, that the whole
affair was a put up job, and that
Neumann and COrnwell had fixed
the whole disgraceful affair be-
tween them. 1t was also said that
a number of good royalists were or
hand to see that Mr.. Castle was
"done up"
No criminal proceedings were
taken in the matter.

Jack Wilson, the Messiah, whose

This Indian come heap long way to

Pawnec put five silver dollars on Wee.

speak; Then he put five more silver
dollars i'll his hand, but Wee -Voo-Kah
kept silent. The Pawnec put the
money OH the ground, took out his

smoked except Wcc.VOo-K Kah, who
said you Indians come from far away
to kill me by witchcraft- lie then
mounted his pony and galloped away
toward Pine Grove. The other In
dians took the money and gave it back
to the Pawnec. who said Wee Woo Kah
was no good and not worth noticing.
though it made him feel bad to be
treated so by him. johnson then
told the Indians that they were not To
blame for what Wcc.Voo Kah did and
that they must treat their Pawnec
friend with consideration. He ad
viscd them to pay no attention to
Wee Noo-Kah who had been tor
menting them for eight years. as
he gives them no protection and
they should not bother with him
more.
The Pawnec told the whites that the
Indians east Of the Rocky Mountains
had heard much Of Wcc-Voo. Kah.
They thought he was Il great man en-
dowed with the spirit of prophecy, and
at the request of the Indians the
Government had commissioned him To
visit Wce-Voo Kah. He was now
satisfied that lie was a false prophet
and did not amount to anything. and
