EDITOR GARDNER ATTACKED

This morning MIR. Lee Giles,
editor of the late Interstate News,
made an attack on editor J. w.
Grdner of this paper at the foot
of the stairs OF the Gardner build
ing, as Mr.. Gardner was coming up
to his office, with a large wooden
cane, Mr.. Giles took offense at a
notice published IN this paper yes
terday, of a general application
The assault was an uuprovoked
one, as the local did not specially
mention Mr.. Giles name.
Mr. Giles received two knife
wounds over the heart and Mr.,
Gardner several wounds on the
head, shoulder and hand. The
wounds on both gentlemen have
been examined and pronounced not
dangerous, and inasmuch as both
parties are at their homes receiving
medical treatment we forbear from
futher comment. The city editor
expresses the hopes that both
gentlemen will be out soon and
settle their differences amicable and
that sweet peace may reign.

dain for the small details of punctilious

an impudent attitude on the part of
others. A lady once called at his studio
She was intending, she told him, to
sing two of his songs that evening, and
she would like to run them over with
him at once. Signor Tosti replied with
acerbity and slow emphasis that he
much regretted that he had not time for
an immediate lesson At this the lady
incontinently leaped out at him. With
pffronted dignity she informed him that
in that case she would not sing his
songs. And Signor Tosti at once shook
hands enthusiastically with the accom-
modating woman. Thank you, thank

A ParOchiaI Appeal.

The following manifesto, copied YER
batim from the original poster is q
capital specimen of election eloquence
as applied to parochial contests: Eel
low workingmen, gentlemen and ladies,
l honOrably put myself forward under
your very kind notice for a seat on the
Swanscombe Parish Council, let me tell
you as man that I was the first to
give cheap meat ON Galley Hill and
Swanscombe, and all round; never did
and never will hurt a workingman
when times is good, I want to get paid
for my superior food that always sup
ply. and when times is hard, then you
can take it at any price you like, to feed
your wives and children, and your fam
lilies from George Clinch, The Peoples
only Butcher in this Parish. I shall
work hand in hand with the Rev. George
Hale to bury the dead at the lowest
price and put the poor body deep into
mother earth, where they ought to be,
and I promise that / shall sell my meat
at the same price. I shall also help Mr..
Dunbar (for he is an old Toff) to reduce
the salaries of clergymen as it do cost
too much for prayers, and we can go up
to glory at less price. 1 also promise
TO do more than the last Council, for
they done nothing and as Mickey Finn
is not standing, but sitting down low,
we can do good business and have no
DonnybroOk Fair at our meetings, in
fact Gentlemen and Ladies l shall do
every mortal thing for the good of your
body, and the Parson will take care of
your DEPARTED souls. 1 shall reduce the
rates and get rent for the workingmen
cheaper; I shall light up your roads so
that you can see them upon a dark
moonlight night. The last word I say
unto you is, do your duty to yourselves
and never mind about me, but put me on
the Council for your own sake, and the
interest of the men who get bread by
the sweat of their brow. ."-Household

WHY THE COLONEL SWORE.
1t Had a Successful Result in One
Way. at ANY Rate.

General Rhodes division had just
been repulsed by the Federals, occupy
ing strong position ON Seminary Ridge,
with heavy slaughter. 1t looked as
though the first day of Gettysburg
would terminate in a defeat to- the
Southern arms, when General Heth ar
rived with his Tennesseans and North
CarolinianS. General Heth took in the
situation at glance. His column quick
ly debOuched from the road in which
1t had been marching and deployed in
line 1000 yards from the crest of Sem
mary Ridge. Grape and canister, solid
shot and shrapnel, tore through their
ranks, but the men kept steadily on.
When they arrived within musket range
the carnage was awful. The Twenty
sixth North Carolina was in front. It's
commander rode fifty yards in advance
CT his men.
Two hundred yards from the enemy's
line the men began to waver.
The Colonel was desperate. Some
thing had to be done. 1t required an
to the occasion.
Rising in his stirrups he turned his
face toward the faltering troops and
pointed his Saber toward the enemy.
Come on" he shouted. Come Oni
Blast your cowardly souls, do you want
to live always?"
His voice sounded high above the din
and confusion of battle. The noble
Twenty sixth heard and needed. With
wild yell they swept forward and the
ether regiments and brigades of the as
saulting lines followed. The enemy was
driven from his position. But it cost
the Twenty sixth its regimental exist
ence. OF the 800 officers and men who
entered the battle 70S were killed and
WOunded.-New York Sun.

How to Hide a Dog.

I saw a woman stop at the entrance
to one Of the big railroad stations the
other day, remove her macintosh, and
seize handful or SO of dog which had
been trotting along beside her.
1t was a very wise-looking dog, with
long hair, which all but hid two eyes
that told of rare sagacity.
Don't you dare move" she said to
the woolly thing. ''Do you hear?" The
dog heard and seemed to understand.
IF you make any noise you're dead
dog" she continued. The woolly thing,
by it's eyes, seemed to say that it un-
derstood.
She hid it under the cape of her
macintosh, and one could have sworn
that she had nothing under the cape
but her arm. I supposed that she was
going only little way out of town. To
my surprise she bought sleeper ticket
and paid $40 for her regular transporta-
tion
There was never whine or a motion
under the cape as she offered her ticket
to be punched and passed through to
the train. The woolly thing knew, It
seemed, that dire things would befall if
the sleeper were not reached in silence
Nothing short of X-ray glasses would
have betrayed his mistress.-New York

Editor Expositor.
Please inform your readers that the
good work accomplished by the British
Medical Institute during its two months
existence at Port Huron, has resulted
in attracting so many patients from all
over this section that DR.. Hale, the
general manager and chief consulting
physician, has decided to go to the
Port Huron Office with two able as
sistants, and remain there until Jan.
lst in order to accommodate the I'M
usual large number of callers.
In order that the rich and poor may
alike enjoy the services of these skilled
specialists during that time, all pro-
fessional fees will be suspended and
no money whatever will be received
Except for medicines furnished)
Can every reader, suffering from a
chronic disease, fully realize what this
means to him? 1t is simply this: Be-
tween now and Jan. lst you can con-
suit doctors who have devoted their
lives to the study and cure of chronic
diseases, and can have the benefit of
all their rare knowledge of modern
medical science and vast experience
without going to some distant city, or
paying the large fees regularly charg-
| ed for such services.
No matter what treatment you have
taken heretofore, if you have not been
cured, call on the doctors and get an
honest and honorable opinion OF your
case. In all difficult and complicated
cases the combined wisdom of the In
| slitute's staff of seven eminent special
lists is brought to bear. If incurablC
YOU will be kindly and frankly told so
If impossible to call upon the doctor!
personally, send a stamp for a symp
tom blank. Yours faithfully,
