ing the ingenuity shown by q certain
bright chap to keep from labor. 1t was
as follows:
A strong young chap, the only son Of
an indulgent mother, was at times
strongly urged to go to work by her and
be . man. When the urging got too
strong he would rush out of the house
and threaten his mother not to return
until he got labor to perform. Now the
mother in question had q mortal dread
of the occupations OF brakeman on q
freight train or any job connected with a
steamboat. Her son knew this we'll and
often did he use IL in his efforts to escape
the customary toll that was the portion
of his fellowmen.
So on certain occasions he would rush
home, and almost before he entered the
house exclaim as he rubbed his hands
"Mother, I've got work-I told you
would get job"
The PARENTS reply would be q gracious
one, and finally she would ask what it
was. Her son would say he had secured
q position as brakeman. Then his
mother would say: "Go give up that
job; won't have any child Of mine
brought home to me in box" After
some parleying, in which the son would
in q hypocritical way urge the merits Of
his position, the job was given up Then
the SON would have q long rest, and
when urged to get work again would re-
peat the above performance.
Finally the fellow, who was naturally
bright and good nstured, induced the
Congressman from his district to get him
q Job in Washington. After year away
from his native town he returned dressed
in the height of fashion and to his friends
admitted that the snap he enjoyed at the
nations capital, was as great as any be
ever had, and that was saying Q good
deal.

Another tramp weaver who could never
understand the right OF any one to have
personal property when be needed 1t, was
given a job In q mill in one of the middle
states. His looms we're not of the best,
and the boss weaver taking Q fancy to the
fellow, said he would give him better
ones.
"No," replied the man, who divided his
time between outside leisure and inside
work.
"This suits me, would not work any
where else"
The reason che kind offer was declined
came out later, much 10 the sorrow OF
the boss. The latter's desk on which he
occasionally hung his vest, in the pock-
cts OF which was a handsome gold wat6 b.,
which the stranger had noticed, was quite
convenient to the poor looms and early
one morning after the vest was hung up
at the desk, the visiting weaver aud the
watch disappeared, and the boss has seen
neither of them since.

Up in Maine some years ago tramp
weaver, who was just sbout tired OF tram o.
ing, and thought he could endure few
weeks work in mill, met one OF the
residents of that State, and said:
show is work at the mills?"
"Cood," was the laconic reply.
"What are they working on, light or
heavy weight?'
This applied, Of course, to the cloth that
the concerns were making.
"Mostly hard wood, think, replied the
native of the pine tree State.
This reply was unintelligible TO the
tramp weaver for a time, but at last II
dawned on him that his new friend re-
ferred to saw mills which were then
cutting hard wood. Had the visitor used
the word factory instead of mill, the mis-.
understanding would not have occurred.

BACK FROM VACATION.
The wanderer Told q Few Yarns Mt
the Club.

Down in the south western part OF this
State and in the south eastern part OF
Connecticut there are number of mills
whose hours Of labor In the GUNNER time
depend not on statutory enactment but
rather upon the amount OF water In GER
tain STREAMS that furnish the power for
the moving of their machinery. Some
times in summer these streams are very
small and the beds are as dry as Sun1ay
In New YORK recently, and the en- Dyes
OF the mills have several hours res, dur
Ing the day.
The SUPERINTENDENT OF one of these
mills was in quite predicament one day
last summer when the stream that was
necessary to his mill was howjng very
laZily along z and as he sent his nelp OUT
he told them with the same anxiety that

a little while there was considerble COM

ent " ith his arms full OF stones running
like a crazy man, and AT short intervals
letting one of the rocks fly after a poor,

The Ed Pulliam killing.

The Hancock Clarion charges that
the officers of the Hopkinsville asy-
lum are responsible for the killing of
Rev. W. B. Swope in Hancock county
by Ed Pulliam, a lunatic. 1t goes
further and severely criticises the Of
ficers as inefficient, and declares that
in the asylum ''the demented can find
no rest and the troubled mind no
cure"
1t is hardly necessary to defend
DR.. Stone, the superintendent, from
these imputations. For rs years his
record as an officer of the best con
Quoted asylum in the state has stood
every test. His annual reports for
the six years he has been superin-
tendent, show proportion of restora
tions--or cures as the Clarion puts it
--equaled by but few asylums in the
country. Upon this subject, Bro. Ster-
rett has permitted himself to go off
half-cocked.
1t is true that Pulliam has twice
been sent to the asylum here. He
escaped last from the wards in Oct
1893. Every reasonable effort was
made by the asylum authorities to
recapture him. DR.. Stone promptly
informed the Hancock county peo-
pie of his escape, with directions for
his return. TIE superintendent had
no authority to arrest him in Han
cock county and he could only be
taken upon warrant from a local
officer(see revised statutes, chspt. 35.)
There is good deal of liberty allow
ed patients at the asylum for the
benefit of their minds and the asylum
is not constructed like prison. 1t is
not difficult to escape from the wards
Pulliam was always confined to the
ward from which he escaped mystic
riously, probably by means of wire
key. He first escaped in 1891 and was
allowed to remain at home until '93
when he was returned and escaped
again in about four months. be con

The jury in the criminal court at
GAINESVILLE found VIM. Evans guilty
of murder in the second degree and
fixed his punishment at ten years
in the penitentiary. 1t will be re-
membered that Evans was charged
with the murder OF his father-in- law,
f. M. Weakley, several months ago,
it being alleged that Evans shot
Weakley from ambush as the latter
was about to dismount from his
horse. 1t IS likely that the case will
be appealed.

Old Ones that Are Costly and New Ones

The great increase in the prices of
the stamps of this country, as is
shown by the new stamp catalogue,
created a heavy demand for many
of them, collectors being anxious to
get what stamps they lacked before
the new prices went into effect. While
some specimens remain at the old
prices, others have doubled, the aver
age increase on the adesives being
about twenty-five per cent
Five new stamps have been issued
for use between Fee and Sepro in
Morocco, the values being 5, 10, 81,
and so centimes and franc.
Mexico mas issued four new varie-
ties of envelopes, the four and ten
centavoes on white laid paper, and
five and ten on white woven paper.
Until recently many collectors in
this country were in the habit OF buy
ing United States stamps from Eng
land, where they could be purchased
at much lower prices than here. At

Indiana Boy Frequently Dimes on Bot
ties and Other Glass.


Cicero, Ind, has natural freak in
the person OF j. William Edwards,
young man about 20 years old. Some
of his feats are decidedly out of the
ordinary, and would make many so
called strong men and sleight-of-hand
performers blush with envy. The
other evening he amused quite a num-
Der of his young gentlemen friends by
taking the neck of flint bottle in his
mouth, and biting off a large piece of
the glass, proceeded to chew it into a
fine mass and then swallowed it, and
that without having food of any kind
or water to aid him in forcing the
mass into his stomach. After masti-
eating the sharp glass for some time
no injury to his tongue or nouthcotfld
be detected. A few evenings before
he first proposed to demonstrate his
ability to eat glass if bystanders would
procure it, when some one proposed
that he take the flue from lamp in
the corner. He placed the thick end
or bottom in his pnuth, bit out large
portion of the glass, and, after chew
ing it for some time as though it was
the rarest of food, swallowed it, Young
Edwards possesses unusual strength
He can sit on chair, and, stretching
both of his lower limbs out straight, a
boy weighing 1870 pounds can stand on
his ankles without making his feet
touch the floor.
