Last week a number of Bannoek In- dians, arrested by Idaho process-servers for violation of the game laws and of course disarmed by their captors at the time of the arrest avoided imprisonment by getting themselves killed on the way to jail. The explanation given by the of ficers of the law isthat the Bannoeks tried to get away-a course of conduct that >ob- viously necessitated shooting them. The only prisoner brought in was pappoose. Many a lively and costly little 'Indian war; has been started in just this way, and an investigation that means something should be made of the transaction. This goading of Indians into fighting should be made serious business for the offend CTS.
 "Did tell you the latest bright thing my little boy got off ?" asked Mcbride, as he joined group of friends at the club.
 "Yes, you did," replied all, in concert, with discouraging unanimity.
 "That's where I've caught you," re- torted Mcbride, ''for it only happened last evening, and I haven't seen soul of you fellows since. Besides, this was really a good one."
 "Then you haven't told it to us," re- piled Kilduff, speaking for the crowd. "Go on."
 "Yes, tell us quickly" added Skid more, "and let us have the agony over."
 Thus encouraged Mcbride began: "You know, boys, little people have sharp ears, and they are not all backward about tell ing any little scraps of information they pick up. This peculiarity has led good many parents to resort to spelling words when their young children are present. Of course that sort of thing is of no avail after the youngsters learn to spell. Well, Mrs. Mcbride and I are in the spelling stage now, and little Freddy is often very much mystified by our remarks to each other. Last night we had our new minis ter to dinner, and Freddy watched the good man helping himself very literally to biscuits. He thought it good Oppor- tunity to put into use the family verbal cipher, feeling perfectly certain that the minister would find it unintelligible. So he called out, Mammal
 "What is it, Freddy?' asked my wife.
 Mamma, isn't the minister a p-i-g?" spelled out Freddy ,triumphantly. '

 The Hartford Post prints story, said to be from authentic sources, that the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail road will assume control of the New York & New England property September 1, and that within one year the Consolidated, with all the branch lines and the property of the present New York & New England road, will be renamed the New England Railroad company.

It is minute in sect resembling in size and shape the or dfnary flea. It eats the foliage of potato vines and destroys the life of the plant. Some of the farmers at Beaver Brook have already met with severe losses from the ravages of the pest. Anson Eggles- ton, few days ago, had four acres of fine potatoes, but to-day he has less than two, :, and is in fair way to lose the. remain der in few days. Paris green has no effect on the insect.

THE state highway commissioners are evidently intending to apportion this years allowance for macadam roads among the towns making application on or before Aug. 15. The conditions are an expendi- ture of $3O0O upon a section of road in manner to be approved by the commis- sioners; the cost, if made as required by them, will be probably not far from $5O00 per mile. The town must furnish 5000, the state 5000 and the county 5000; that is the town must expend $3000, and may get reimbursement for $2000 of this sum from sources named. The at tention of the commission has been called to the Bridgeport roads, built as explained by MT. Pierce of that city at our recent borough meeting. If that sort of road, costing but about $3OO0 per mile, will meet the approval of the commissioners, more can, of course, be done with an equal amount of money. The question whether Stafford will be one of the towns to avail of this years state provision is being agi- tated.
