A Dainty Striped Bass.

Fish in captivity" said man of long
acquaintance with fishes, "often become
very tame, and sometimes they develop
peculiarities. In an aquarium that was
connected with once, some years ago, we
had in table tank six striped bass, vary
ing from g To IL inches in length Five Of
these bass used to feed ravenously, but the
sixth one, the biggest of all, would wait
The five would rush up and hustle for the
food when it was put In the water; the
big one would lie down in one corner and
not come up at all. / thought he must
be off his feed, and l thought I'd have TO
get some delicacy for him.
but one day when / had fed the others,
the big one still lying on the bottom.
tapped on the side of the tank and held
out a live killie. He came up and took
the killie sharply There WASH { anything
the matter with him. he was all right,
and couldn't account for his holding
back except that he considered IL beneath
his dignity to come up then and scramble
with the rest for the food thrown in the
tank and that he preferred to wait.
After that regularly | fed the big bass
separately. After had put the food for
the rest in the tank would hold out his,
and he would come up and take it out of
my hands. fed him in this way every
day for four months until we lost him
and all the rest of the fish in this tank by
an accident. New York Sun.

The Drummer's Investment In Corncobs
Didn't Fan Out Very Well.

Among the delegation of cigar manufac
turers that thronged the Auditorium was
drummer for Buffalo house, who talked
starch and ostentatiously pulled an Eng
fish bulldog pipe.
For solid smokers" he said In a loud
tone as he stood before number of broth
er drummers, 1.-THE right thing Is pipe
Cigars are for fellows who haven't the
courage of their convictions Before got
this thing l used To smoke Missouri
meerscbaum. I've got TO catch the Denver
train, but I'll tell you corncob pipe story
Last summer made q trip up the lower
Missouri on the steamer General Meade
You know the man who invented the corn
cob pipe lives at Washinton City, Mo. The
boat | was on was freighter that carried
wheat and corn down to st. Louis.
Whenever "a Missouri farmer wants TO
flag the boat, he puts red shirt or some
thing on the pile of wheat sacks, and the
boat stops. / took a notion to spend few
days up in that country and see the ma.
tives. When we got TO Washington City,
the steward told me that the corncob pipe
factory paid n cent apiece for corncobs that
wouldn't pass through an iron ring Of GER
tain size. They furnish these rings to the
farmers. About 40 miles above / saw a
big pile of corncobs near the bank, and l
thought, Here's my chance. The steward
had ring from the pipe factory that he
loaned me. / made an arrangement with
the farmer To board me two days until the
boat came back and sell me the pile of corn
cobs for 81 80. | thought that If / got
lonesome looking at the natives l would
pass away the time sorting corncobs. 1t
took me about half day TO get lonesome
After had got acquainted with the family
and the hogs and one thing and another, /
sat down TO pass some time away on the
corncobs. worked along, and every corn
cob seemed to go through the ring. Twas u
little disappointed at first, but after awhile
got Interested and found cob of the req
uiste size. That was the only l cent cob
got that day. and put it in my pocket.
Next day the thing didn't seem TO pan
out at all, and worked away like a troop
or. 1t was like gambling and just want
ed to see how many big ones / could find
didn't find any that day. The day after
that finished up the pile just as the boat
came back and was awarded one more cob
that was loose fit When | got aboard
the boat, l had cob in each pocket, and
the farmer and family bid me an affection
ate farewell. Just as the boat was starting,
the farmer drew me close and said Say,
friend, didn't know what you wanted
them cobs fer when you bought them and
after the boat had gone and we had you on
our hands | didn't like to tell you, but
sorted them cobs over myself about week
ago Chicago News.

Some uncredited newspaper editor,
who, like others of his brethren, knows
by experience writes: 'It is gross
blunder to make any sacrifice to make
friends for a newspaper. The friends
OF a newspaper are people who either
want you to print something which
ought TO be left out, or leave out some
thing which ought TO be printed

An exchange wants to know what
makes one town thrive while others
with equally good locations remain
dormant. 1t is because in one case
there are men of push and energy who
are not afraid to spend their time and
money to improve the town. They
erect substantial buildings, work for
public improvements and use every
means in their power to induce people
to locate there. Wherever they go they
tell of the advantages of their town;
they write about them in every letter;
send circulars and newspapers to every
acquaintance whom they think can be
induced to visit the town, and when
any one visits it they show him all the
attractions of the place and treat him
with such kindness that he falls in love
with them and the town at once

The Bedding base ball club went &c
Greenville Tuesday and
The score was % to

The base ball game for your life was
played Wednesday between the fats and
leans. 1t was nip and tuck between
them but at the close of the fifth inning,
which finished the game, both sides be-
ing pretty well winded, the score stood
81 to 3Oin favor of the leans. The street
parade of the two clubs previous to the
game attracted lots of attention and
was as good as a circus.

Boys, just word. 1t is not neces-
sary to cease to be a gentleman in
order to play ball. An exhibition of
rowdyism and vulgar and profane Ian
guage is not necessarily an adjunct of
the game and is not what the specta-
tors pay their money to see. Be gen.
tlemen and you will increase the home
interest Ia the games, and establish a
much better reputation outside.

In order to place base ball on more
firm and permanent basis in Bedding,
it has been thought best to organize an

at Hotel Bedding, Monday evening,
and board of eleven directors elected.
The directors subsequently elected the
following officers: President, w. f.
Bricker; vice-president, III. j. Leonard;
secretary and treasurer, b. F. Huestus:
manager, Will H. Ricaby; captain,

The game last Saturday between st.

and fought to a finish by both sides, in

smuggling of the ball by the home team
in the third inning, when Butterfeld
made home run and Crosby three
Dagger, four scores being made in all,
the result might have been reversed.

MALFEAsANoE IN OFFICE.

The existence and recent increase of abuses of official position, involving dishonesty in the conduct of public business in many sections of the coun- try, have aroused a very earnest spirit of resentment on the part of the people. Investigations intelligently started and consistently pushed, have brought to light here and there so many evidences of great recreancy to duty in both pub lie and private places, that the founda- tions of confidence have been severely shaken, suspicion has been widely and intensely stimulated, and hot spirit of inquiry has been developed, until large portion of the whole land has be- come an arena of investigation.
 It is at all times our duty to be watchful of the course of public af- fairs, but at such a time, responding to the call of the people,it becomes doubly our duty to look about us for hidden sources of danger and by courageous disclosure of them, if found, or presen- tation of gladdening proof that they do not exist, become assured that the truth is known and that no hurtful doubts remain.
 It will be a great and gratifying fact if you find no occasion to doubt that all our public business is honestly and thoroughly done; and if to this fact you add, as I do not doubt you now intend a piece of history which shall be and remain the record of a glorious example of legislative wisdom and pur- ity, you will win yourselves lasting honor, and give to the people source of pride and satisfaction through all the years of the future.

oney and Capt. Collier, Mckinley has a
pretty fair following for the presidency
throughout the territory. On the other
hand the Harrisonites are quite active and
have been quietly at work for weeks get
ting ready their slate. Now comes Delegate
Catron with the declaration that Reed
delegates will represent New Mexico Re-
publicans in the next national conven-
ton. The scheme is to spring Elkins'
name at the proper time-Elkins is
dark horse for the presidential nomina-
tion-and to break down all the Mckinley
and Harrison influence by the demand
that Elkins delegates be given clear right
of way. This will smother all opposition
at home and at the proper time the GEL
kins delegates" will be voted for Reed,
and if Reed shouldn't, per chance, be able
to carry the day, then his forces will re-
turn the compliment and throw their
strength to Dark Horse Elkins.
There is evidently complete under
standing between Reed and Elkins, which
involves the manipulation of many west
ern state delegations similar to the plan
outlined to be worked in New Mexico.
