Could not Stand Ia.

! DR.. Lyons, the dentist, is one of the
most c~ompanionable men you will meet
in a days journey. He has one little
failing however, that is he loves a good
hunting story and can tell them all
day for he is a crack shot and a born
| sportsman. He can't tolerate a fellow
who blows his own horn too loud. The
other day a select crowd were gathered
at the Veranda Hotel n~arrating their
hunting experiences and a whisky
drummer had taken the prize, having
killed two deer at one shot with a win
chester. Then it was DR.. Lyons turn,
knocking the ashes out Of his pipe. he
said: boys it would never have hap
pened if hadn't been using the old
fashioned muzzle-loading gun, but hap
pen it did, and this is how: | was Just

The charge of shot got DETECTED by the
ramrod and went to the left, getting in

shot together made the recoil so great
that it knocked me over, and | fell on
a rabbit and killed it, and then rolled
over into the ~coulee, aud when I clam

who stole Your Game?

Cane shippers who send their pro-
duct to central factories by rail always
complain of the shortage in weight and
the factory people usually claim that
the cane is stolen from the cars Ell
route. Heretofore we have beet
disposed to doubt this statement but
the following account given by the
Franklin News explains the outrageous
mystery:
"There is a cane hoist at the tfyn
.switch of the Gallery railroad at the
Iberia street crossing in this. town.
where cane from the neigkboring fields
is loaded into the cars. There is also
a stretch of track, leading from the
main rails of the S. F., road, which is
used by the latter raad t3 back the
loaded cars upon. whic1 e9m6 in over
from the adjoining 9riss. Thus, the
whole stretch of country included in
these boundries is q GaGa yard, and
from it hundreds, and IS re calculate
Alright, thousand 81 pounds II cane are

are mostly Negro 9ga 1indrance

ceiving very '. lis cane this
season, and ua lis robber-jus-
tice should be oy the authori-
ties. We are t. ga full car load
of cane, If it has stood on this yard any
appreciable length of time, seldom
reaches the scale of the Gallery mill:
We do not doubt but that this concern
has been accused Of s~hort-Weight deal,
ing by those who cannotknoW the true
cause. In the interest of the people,
who are thus geographically alienated
from their possessions, we ask that the
market entrance of this great mani
featuring centre be guarded at the ex.
pense of the parish, or something else
done to put do WI this thieyery."
