Snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint 6 Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich, recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs, some of tfiem of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

BOOK LOVER.
Witty Retort of 8 Priest to Vulgar anu
 OstentatiOus Parishioner.

Concerning the celebrated Father Darcy, probably the greatest wit of that witty nation, Ireland, it is re- lated, says the Milwaukee Journal, that he once visited the palatial mansion of d perfect specimen of the nouveaux riches who lived in the neighboI hood of Dublin at the invitation of its pompous owner. He was shown all over the house, his host taking great pains, as is habitual in such cases, to keep the witty and observant priest well in formed as to the cost of all the beauti full things he was shown. Finally, after making the complete tour of the chateau, the library was reached, it's tremendous shelves grooming under the weight of thousands upon thousands of volumes, resplendent in the most magnificent bindings. Here they seat ed themselves, and the host said, with sigh of snobbish exultation:
 "Well, father, 1 have brought you here last because this is my favorite room. The other rooms maybe give pleasure to my wife and my daughters, but this is my place-right here among these books, who are my friends. And these here on the desk (pointing to a score of ultra-looking volumes), are what I may call my intimate friends. :"
 Father Darcy got up and examined one of them, when broad grin spread over his good-natured face, as he said:
 ''Well, it's glad I am to see that you never cut your intimate friends

GENESIS OF A "cRANK. !"
The Effect of Large Ideas Upon Small
 Minds.


 One of the most interesting of psy- biological studies, says the Century, is the effect of large idea upon a small mind. A large idea entering a. large mind balances and dignifies it; it's eff feet upon small mind is often conl- pletely upsetting. The man becomes Intellectually top-heavy and unsteady.
 When one becomes observant of this phenomenon he finds much to aEluse and again much to deplore. He is amused, for instance, to notice the re- suit of this overlooking throughout a long career. Where subject is thus acted upon by succession of ideas, each embodying an important truth which the man is incapable of carrying. his receptivity to impression proves to be his bane. The sudden realization for the first time of a fundamental prin- oi~la r rF7ce ronoman;a" of him. An other sudden realization of still another fundamental principle and he is spin ming off at a new tangent.
 But there are times when this effect or large 1deaS upon llItie mihdS IS most r1ischievous and deplorable. Thus is bred the race of incurable cranks in philosophy, theology, art and politics. The word "crank" has been maliciously misused for purposes of cynical ridi- cule, but it is too descriptive name to be set aside. The congenial crank is always started on his career of in utility by this application of a big idea to small brain. The most tiring thing about him is his sclf-conpla- cency, owing to his knowledge of the fact that better men have been mis- called by his own accurately des escriptive cognomen.

A Pathetically Humorous Story Told Of a
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy belng in debt.
 He was renter, and at least every other season he was occupying diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came cut to the fence.
 "Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long,"
 "You must be doing well?" "I think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 "Tm always glad to help, if l can."
 'I knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez we'll ez am I'm a-goin' to stand hit
 Are you making any money?" Jim's face frightened perceptibly. "No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope , fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore.' It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness

FITZ DEAD EASY.
Bat Masterson's Opinions of the
Big Fight.

Bat Masterson's Opinions of the
Big Fight.
The famous Western sporting
man and pugilistic authority, Bat
Masterson, is convinced that Peter
Maher is a sure winner of the next
big fight. He reasons out what a
"cinch" Peter is, in the following
intelligent manner: "Do not be
too sure about Fitz bsingta l to 2
shot. 1 have tried sto.:figures.this
fight a little on the order of figur-
ing the horses, and for the life of
me / can't figure Maher anything
but a "pipe." There is such a
thing as Improvement in pugilist
mot only in condition but in box.
ing, and arguing thus, Maher is the
most improved man in the bust
ness today. 1t is true he was
beaten by Fitz and Goddard, and
probably true, too, that he quit
in both instances. at least have
been told 80, but / do not figure
much on those two fights. Maher
was drunken sot at the time.
He was afflicted with a bad sore
on his leg, by which he was pre-
vented from doing any road work.
He was a stranger in this country,
and both superstitious and sus-
picious, and was not within 100
per cent as clever as he is now.
"Then he could not get his head
out of the way, he could not get
his feet in or out without STUN
bling, he did not know how to
fight with his hands: in short he
knew nothing about the game.
He had the range and the ply
sique and a good punch, but that
is not enough to make champion.
Now he can feint, can side.step,
put his head out Of harms way,
cross with either hand, and what
not one fighter in a thousand can
do, can uppercut with either hand
and knock out with either hand.
"Now as to Fitz: He, in my
opinion, was as good three years
ago as he is today. He may be
little more tricky, but generally
speaking he is about the same, and
If you recall the Fitz fights, every
body has hit him, and several
have nearly had him out. And
no onle has ever hit him that can
hit like Peter Maher can today,
and no one who has ever hit him
can hold a candle to Peter from
boxing standpoint, so there you
are. I consider it bad form for a
man to offer an opinion unless
he can also offer an argument in
support of his opinion, and this
is my argument. am a good
deal like Parson Davies. He says
you cannot put a heart in quit
ter and for that reason, Peter
may fool me. / am arguing
from the standpoint that Peter
does not quit, and If he does not,
he is cinch."

Affairs at the Brewery.

Since the assignment made by the brew
cry last week, matters have hecn progress
ing quietly but surely. The articles were
drawn up in Boston, but the deed Of
assignment was filed in Keene, as the real
estate of the corporation is in Cheshire
county.
The assignment did not cause very much
local excitement. as the local creditors are
not numerous. The party in Vermont
soaked the worst is the bank in Orwell.
While the assignees are very quiet about
the affair, the garrulous public has its the
cries as usual. One story is that the COM
pany was forced into insolvency by the
unreasonable action of creditor: another
is that the company preferred to take the
action it did. Everything is running as
usual now, and will so continue unless
there is turn in the tide of events.
A. d. Salinger of Boston, one of the
assignees, was in town Sunday and Mon
day. He and G.. NJ Blake, also one oil
the assignees, had several conferences
Mr.. Salinger stated that in his opinion the
liabilities against the company would moi
exceed 100000. As the assets are re
ported to be, over $3.50, 900, it does mo-
look as though the company was in yer,
bad shape. Mr.. Salinger also stated tina
the future of the company would be uncer
tain for time yet; in fact that nothing
definite could be said pending the fina
adjudication of the matter.
Sheriff Tuttle of Keene was in town OF
Monday and attached the brewery com
pany. This will lead to further compli
cations.
