+. 3. Cavanaugh- He has given battle
to two knights of the road In the past
year and both times has left the intending
robber more dead than alive
C@vanaugh delivers milk early in the
morning. At O'clock last Wednesday
morning he was serving customers at the
corner Of Fourth avenue and Pine street.
He mad drawn up his horses near the
curb, measured out quart OF milk step
ped TO the porch OF a house near the COR
ner and put the milk in bucket left there
for that purpose, when on starting TO re-
turn TO his wagon a hand was laid on
his shoulder and a voice IN his ear said
Il want some money"
IL was quite dark ard a heavy fog made
* almost impossible for Cavanaugh to
see the fellow. When the man who want
ed money started TO say something more
the muscular milksnaa turned and dealt
him blow that sent him rolling across
the sidewalk. The waving feet OF the
highH-ayman struck the horses or the milk
wagon. and after few kicks the animals
became frigi tened and started to run.
Cavanaugh jumped in the wagon to catch
the relns and away they went. the wagon
wheels running over TIE would~he foot
pads body. Cavanaugh did not regain
control Of his horses until far from tho
scene OF the hold-up. or. more properly,
throw down
Last summer Cavanaugh was stopped IN
the same manner while driving near Lake
Union. He demolished that assailant with
a quart measure. batterins the unlucky
footpad until he cried for mercy

Great Northern directors have made
several changes in the form OF the annual

y smart Arithmetic Man.

y Chinaman died. leaving his prop
perty by will to his three sons as fol,
lows: TO Fuenhuen, the oldest. one,
half thereof: to Nupin. his second
son. onc-third thereof, and to Ding.
bat his youngest. one-niuth thereof. .
When the property was inventoried
it was found TO consist of nothing
more nor less than seventeen ele-
phants. and it puzzled these three
heir how TO divide the property ac-
cordin@ 20 the terms OF the will with
out chopping up seventeen elephants,
and thereby seriously impairing their
value. Finally they applied to Il wise
neighbur, Suenbund, for advice. Su-
eupunk had an elephant OF his own.
He droyc il into the yard with the
seventeen, ana said:
Nov. we will suppose that your
father left these eighteen elephants:
Fuen-huen. take your half and de-
par So Fuen-huen took nine ele-
ph4n:s aaa rent his way.
Nov, Nu-pin," said the wise man,
''take your third and go" So Nu-
pin too: six elephants and Travelled.
Now, Ding-bat. said the wise
man. take your ninth and begone. ="
So Ding-bat took two elephants and
vamoosed. Fhen Suen-punk took his
own elephant and drove him home
again.
Query: Was the property divided
accordin- TO the terms of the will?

Just before their departure for thi:
city the citizens of Pennington as
sembled at the hotel in that city and
presented to Mr.. and Mrs. John H

lows:
To Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Lyons
Your many friends. a number of whom
have assembled here this evening, have
assigned to me the very pleasant duty
of saying a few words to you upon the
eve of your departure from this COM
munnity. Your many kindnesses and
courtesies shown US. the cordial and
cheerful welcome ever given by you to
all who sought your sheltermore deep
ly impresses us now than ever OF your
high character and Of your kind and
generous impulses.
We feel ut least, that We should
manifest in some way our profound
regrets at your decision to become
citizens of another county.
We are all profoundly sorry to
lose you and your good wife as citi-
zens of this community and. while we
deplore the loss. our neighbor city is
to be congratulated upon her gain.
You merit and deserve success and no
lady and gentleman ever left com
munity with more hearty and sincere
good wishes for prosperity than your
selves.
In behalf of your friends. and as a
testimonial of the high in which
you are held, | present to you and
Mrs. Lyons this tea set, clock and
ring. Intrinsically. they are not of
great value, but are presented in that
true spirit of friendship As anevidence
of our high appreciation of your good
citizenship and token of our esteem
and respect. Our good wishes, go with
you to your new home. May success
and prosperity DE the reward of your
efforts.
