Ready TO Compromise.

An Engiishman at a dinner once
told a tale OF tiger he had shot which
measured twenty-four feet from snout
to tail tip. Every one was astonished,
but no one ventured TO insinuate a
doubt Of the truth Of the story. Pres
emily a Scotchman told his tale. He
had once caught fish which he said
he was unable to pull in alone, man
aging ol,ly to land it at last with the
aid of six friends. at was a skate,
and covered two acres" Silence fol-
lowed this recital, and the offended
Englishman left the table. The host
followed. After returning he said to
the Scotchnian: "You have insulted
my friend; you must apologize" 81
dinna insoolt him." said the Scot.
"Yes, you did, with your two-acre
fish story. You must apologize. F"
"Well, said the offender, slowly, with
the air Of one making great conces-
sion, "tell him if he will take ten feet
off the tiger. | will see what can do
with the fish. London Figaro.

 samples of the years work, then it can not be excelled in a school of it's charac- ter and scope. The programme was be-

 programme had been completed Profess or Thompson delivered his farewell to the school in a few well selected and touch Ing remarks, after which Dr. Cleveland proposed three cheers for the school and pronounced the benediction.
 Five medals were offered by the pro- fessors and won as follows: First grade, Frankie Koerber; second grade, Clara Purcell; third grade, Blanch Purcell; fourth grade, Charlie Brown; orator, J. M. Koonce. a

 Now, I am told that my Beagles have been so indiscreet as .o chase several of my neighbors roosters, and that some of my neighbors, in the heat of Beagle ani- mostly, shot down a few saplings and wasted a great quantity of brickbats in their effort to ann.hilate said Beagles. Now, for all this I am very sorry. And most humbly apologize for my Beagles, both to my neighbors and their roosters, for any act of thoughtlessness or impru- dence upon the part of my Beagles, and I am requested by them to disclaim any intention upon their part of anjuring any of my neighbors or their roosters.
 I am deeply grieved at the misconduct of my Beagles, and wish to say that it all happened during my absence from home. shall endeavor to see that 1t does not oc- cur again. If 1t should, however, I do solemnly promise that for every neighbor or rooster so killed or injured I will, &C., cording to Mosaic doctrine, restore the owner thereof two neighbors or two roosters for every one so killed or injured by said Beagles.
 Hundreds of times has the question been asked: What on earth does he want with those dogs?" To such an one would state-tt Is not for pleasure alone that I have these Beagles I am as fond of sleep and as little fond of fieas as you are, but in these degenerate days, when the agitation of the money question threatens the bustupment of the United States government, it behooves men liv- ing on short rations to look ahead! Take, for instance, the meat market (not Eichelberger's-that belongs to Charlie.) I mean the great meat market of the west Suppose there should be a meat famine? Would there not be great dan ger of people starving to death? Most assuredly. Then, as you stood at the very door of starvation, would it not be ,a privilege, yea, a glorious prerogative, to come to me and borrow my Beagles and go forth in search of meat? Then what infinite pleasure would I enjoy when I would lend you my Beagles and bid you hie away to the swamps and catch rab- bits for your suffering family.
 Brethren and sisters, think of all this, and for goodness sake don't shoot my Beagles. Yours very truly

A Commencement Season Without Sweet
 Girl Graduates.

A Commencement Season Without Sweet
 Girl Graduates.
 Florence, June 12.-(Special)-A com mencement season without girl gradu- ates-a springtime of buds with not full blown rose-was the unique situation at Bailey Springs university this week. It was in all respects commencement- one of girlhoods traditional triumphs- yet blue ribboned parchments were not the conclusion.
 r This week the universityscenciuded it's first year as a state institution. and as a result there were mo graduates. This situation, however, did not mar interest in the commencement exercises. Despite the frequent rains, many of the friends and patrons of the ssoSeol were present. Miss Lillie Lanbeft of Pertiue,s Ala, took first honors for the years work sThe second honor was won by Miss Bessie Cooper of Centreville, Ala.
 The concluding feature of the. com mencement exercises was the military drill, conducted by Capt. Albert @Ellis. There were twenty-eigft cadets in line. The girls wore white duck suitings, with white mortarbOard hats. For proficiency and precise stepping they would put to blush many companiAs at the &tAte en- campment. ~T Sk &e %&
 It was a great week at Bailey Springs, and the beauty of it all is, the girls are coming back next year.

Called Home by saddest of News.

Demopolis Express.
 Mr. Walter Dufeu of Chillicothe, O., who has been on a prospecting visit to Demopolis, was called home Saturday by the sudden death of his little daugh- ter, Lillian. We gather the following particulars from the Chillicothe News: The child had been spending the day at the home of her grandparents, MT. and Mrs. c. F. Dufeu. MT. Dufeu had, dur ing the afternoon, carried out basketful of empty bottles intending to bring them down town with him later in the even ing. Lillian seeing them, picked up one of them, which happened to be an empty morphine bottle, carried it to small tin bucket of water, and, filling it, drank it's contents. She immediately complained of her throat hurting her and at supper became so drowsy that her grandfather took her to his doctor But, though all the resources of medical science were brought to bear to save her life, the ef- forts were unavailing, and she died in short time We deeply sympathize with MT Dufeu, who, though almost an entire stranger has made a number of friends in our midst The death of his little daughter was peculiarly distressing, as he had only just received letter from his wife saying all were well, when the telegram came with this sad announce ment His cousin, MT. Palmer, who was his companion on his trip, returned with him to Chillscothe.
