Catching Gulls

On a late trip of steamer plying be-
tween San Francisco ami Portland the
question came up among the passengers
as to whether the gulls which appeared
around the ship each morning were
same birds which had been with the ship
on the day previous. To test the matter
a line and fish hook were procured. aud
with bait of salt pork the fishing for .
sea gull was commenced. The first cast
of the line was successful, big gray
bird swoopIng down on the meat. He
was hauled aboard and found to be un-
injured. the hook having caught in one
of the glands of the beak. from which il
was readily loosened. After detaohing
the hook, a piece of red flannel was
brought and carefully tied around the
gull's s left leg by one of the seamen Of tho
steamer. the bird being then turned loose
Circling for moment in the air. the gull
started toward The distant biue streak
which denoted the coast line. and it was
generally allowed that each day brought
a new contingent of gulls to follow the
steamer and pick up the waste scraps
from the table; but ON coming on deck
after breakfast the next morning there
was the tiannel-bedecked gull to be seen,
the most clamorous of all the bids. To
test the gull's reasoning powers. If 1t had
any the same line and bait was drifted
astern. the gull caught the day before be-
ing one of the first to strike for it,

Russian ThistIes in Indiana

The Russian thistle, pronounced by ex-
perts as the most dangerous pest to farm
ers in existence, has made its appearance
IN Northern Indiana. UP to six months
ago the pernic.ous weed could only be
found on the prairies in the Dakotas, but
deadly weed. 1t was first discovered
growing IN the Panhandle right of way
and on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railroad in Porter and Laporte
counties. Experts at the Purdue univer
sity claim that wherever it starts growing
it can never be got out. Patches covering
acres on many farms are found. The
weed grows as large as hogshead, and
when ripe will break off at the bottom
and roll over prairies like the tumble
weed and drop Its seed as it rolls.-Chi-

A Kentucky Courtshlp

: A big dance on Bushy Fork of Tygart
creek, which was attended by the major
ity OF the people of that and adjoining
neighborhoods, ended with sensational
incident. George Daniels and Jack
Spencer were rivals for the hand OF Miss
Lolita West, and Daniels accompanied
her to the dance, proceeding whi.h so
enraged Spencer that he did not attend
the dance. but secured a companion and
went hunting. About 10 o'clock their
dogs caught a skunk, which they intend
ed to take Eome.
On their way home they were COM
pelied to pass the house where the dance
was in progress, and upon looking in at
the winuow Spencer saw Daniels and
Miss West standing little closer together
than he thought they should. This en-
ragged Spencer SO much that be took the
polecat by the tail and threw it at
Daniels. His aim was not good and the
animal struck Miss West squarely in the
face, nearly knocking her down.
Daniels lost no time in getting outside
to see the author of the unpleasantness,
and, seeing Spencer getting away, start
ed in pursuit. overtaking him in few
minutes. and bringing him back to where
the crowd had gathered outside the house.
Several modes OF punishment were sug
gested, but the one that met the heart
lest approval was the following. which
was suggested by Miss West. and carried
out Immediately: Spencer hands were
tied securely behind his back and the
skunk fastened to his breast In such a
manner as to make it i'm possible to es-
cape the foul odor arising from it. The
fellow was then told to go home. a mile
distant. followed by several to see that he
did not get the animal loose. The pro-
ceeding broke up the dane and also
won the young woman from Daniels. as he
