MRS. ROwELL's CANNED LOTTERY.
The Uncertainty Added a Spice of Va
riety TO the Snmeness of Daily Life.

The Uncertainty Added Spice of Va
riety to the Snmeness of Daily Life.
From the Chicago Record.
Mrs Rowell saw the advertisement in
the paper one day of a wonderful sale. 1t
was a fire sale of canned goods. Every
thing that e housekeeper could desire was
enumerated in the advertisement. There
were corn and potatoes, peaches and pears,
gooseberries and plums, in fact, everything
that is usually preserved In tin. The fasci-
nation in these goods lay in two things
the labels had been washed off the cans
during the fire, arousing her sentiment by
the mystery OF their contents, and they
were four cents a can, appealing to her
economy.
Mrs, Rowell got up bright and early the
day Of the sale, and was only fifth in line
when the store door opened, and there were
hundreds behind her. When the women
got in the stock was soon exhausted, but
Mrs. Rowen managed to get three or four
dozen cans and was triumphantly happy.
While preparing dinner one day she
thought Of her cenred goods. and wonder
ed what vegetables she would cook. She
decided upon corn, and picked out and
opened can. 1t contained peas 1t was
all right, however, for Mr.. Rowell liked
peas Thea she picked out a can of peach
es for dessert-these proved to be toma-
toes So she had peas and tomatoes, but
no peaches. -
When they had any one else to dinner
one can of vegetables was not enough, and
when Mrs Rowell looked for another can
of corn she often "drew' one containing
beans. But thi, didn't matter. for then
she had succotash. 1t was rather annoy
ing, when she had dessert already pre-
pared, TO pick out can OF pears when
she tished for tomatoes.
1t was blind luck, this picking the Vege-
tables from the fruit, for often when she
wanted peaches she got tomatoes or some
thing else far away from her desires. And,
after ALL it was great fin while the four
cent goods lasted, for there was as much
uncertainty about it, almost, as in any
other game of chance.

In the days when Eugene Field lived in

taken for each other. they met in a public
place.
Mr.. Indermille says he was somewhat as
tonished to see himself coming in a. a door

Yes said Indermille, and 1 know you.

On the Last Relay.


Lieut. Stevens was the first of the party
to meet misfortune. The rest were COM
PEELED to leave him repairing his wheel and
forge ahead. The lieutenant made the neces-
sary repairs, and by hard riding caught the
others at New ark. He was then exhausted
but after a short stop to recuperate rode on
again alone, and finished within few min
utes afte: the others. His ride against dis
courag'ng conditions amply sustains the
reputation of the lieutenant for grit and
resource.
OF the other riders two were handicapped
by other difficulties in addition to wet roads,
darkness, the storm and a long relay Lieut.
Libbey, early in the day in riding from Phil
adelphia, had severely strained tendon in
his leg. and though unable to walk, made
fast progress in riding despite the pain.
Capt Staubach had suffered a heavy fall
on Broadway the evening before, on his
way with Lieut.. Stevens from Fort Haml-
ton. His wheel was not damaged. but his
knee was cut and bruised to such an ex-
tent that both the doctor who dressed it in
the city and the surgeon at the fort
strongly advised against its use in riding
for several days. 1t was very fortunate
that Capt. Staubach rode, In spite of his
injuries, as, afte- Lieut.. Stevens accident,

road made it possible for Capt Staubach
to drop back from leading and guiding.
The route through Metuchen, Plainfield,

and over wet planks and cobbles to Jersey
City, a distance of forty-two miles, was
covered in 3 hours and 10 minutes, despite
the very unfavorable conditions. The river

LIEUT.. LIBBEY'S EXPERIENCE

The relay ride of the Washington Mill

harder thing than was anticipated. the rain
having a bed effect on the schedule time.
The best portions of the road were thought
to be between Wilmington and New York
city, but with the irclement weather they
ere rot in very good condition. Indeed,
the route selected between New Brunswick
and New York in some places was found
to be absolutely impossible for bicycles,
owing to the mud. Under the circum-
stances 1t was decided TO ride to Elizabeth
via Plainfeld, Westfield and Crawford,
Where the roads were letter, although to
do this added saven miles to the relay,
making it forty-two instead of thirty-tive
miles. This change made it the longest
relay of the entire journey.
The last two relays were the worst, and
there was but little rest for the waiting
riders at New Brunswick Sunday night,
for while the chances were that the mes
sage would arrive later than schedule time
on account of bad reads south of Philadel-
phia it was necessary to be ready for a
surprise. Privates Pryor and Tierney were
to carry the message from Trenton to New
Brunswick, guided and paced by local
