And the Umpire Lived to Tell 1t.

IT umpired a game of base ball out in
Texas the other day. said Gannis, who
has just returned from a drumming trip
through the Lone Star state, according to
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, under
conditions which I will bet never before
happened to a fellow. The Jewett and the
Ogden teams were to play the deciding
game of the season that afternoon. 1t
was the biggest day of the year in the
town. All the stores closed, and business
was suspended on account of the game of
ball. During the morning l was casually
talking about base ball to one of the mer-
chants. giving him few Of the late poin-
tiers on the game. Well, when 1t came to
calling the game that afternoon the UNI
pire failed to appear, and the teams were
in an awful fix. Some one thought of me,
and they sent for me. did not want to
umpire the match, because 1 knew the fell
lows who got done up under my decisions
would be down on me, and that l would
never stand a ghost of show of selling
any of the merchants Of the defeated
town a bill of goods. 1t was a serious sit
| uation to me- but they urged, and 1 finally
consented to act. Being that 1 was in
| Jewett, l wanted the Jewett team to win
the series, for 1 wanted too sell more
| goods there, and knew I might as well
| take the next train if they did not But
| team team played great ball, and they
were simply wiping up the earth with the
Jewetts. In the ninth inning the score
was up in the twenties in favor of Ogden.
I was simply swamped in my desire to
| have the Jewetts win. There seemed to
be no possible chance for them. Then an
| idea struck me. The crowd was wild with
excitement. and nobody had paid any at
| tention to the number of innings that had
been played. 1 grasped at the thought
and let them play two more innings, thus
making an eleven-inning game. Well, sir,
| 1t was a great stroke. In the next two
| innings the Jewetts picked up. In one sin
| gle round they scored twenty-sx runs, and
at the end of the eleventh inning I called
the game with the Jewetts easy winners
| Everybody was overjoyed with my umpir-
| ing, and the town was wild with enthu-
siasm. 1 sold $500 worth of goods before
1 left that town on the strength of that
| base ball game"

Maine Doesn't Direct.
From theClnclnnati Enquirer Dem.

In watching this great struggle, with the
battle ground stretching from the Hudson
river to the Missouri river the question
whether the republican majority in the
far off state of Maine should be $1,000 or
5000 is absolutely insignificant Speaker
Reed claims that this usual republican
victory in Maine is evidence that the
American people are going to overthrow
the cause Of silver. AS he enlarges his
vision during the campaign. he will find
that the purposes Of the American people
are a good deah different from the pur-
poses Of a majority OF that small portion
Of the people who live In tina state OF
Maine,

brilliant Roast of BriIIiancy.
From the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle (Dem

When the adjective brilliant is ap-
piled to a man, the compliment paid him
is not Of the highest. When predicated
of an orator. for instance, IT means that
he has a ready flow of words-that, as
Stella said OF Dean Swift, he can speak
beautifully about a broom stick. But does
not imply weight or strength. Your
brilliant" men rarely have settled con-
vctions. They are generally men of much
sail and little ballast, ready to catch up
with any vagary that may seem attractive.

Paws to Go to the North Pole,

The question has often been ask
ed why people are SO anxious to g
the North Pole, Things are being
done nowadays for the money, and
1t has been difficult matter to see
where the money came in on these
trips, but this is the way it comes;
DR.. Nansen received one thousand
pounds for his telegram to the
Daily Chronicle, and four thousand
pounds from the prOprietors OF that
journal for his article. His book,
in English, is sold for ten thousand
pounds, and he is to receive live
thousand pounds for the Norwe-
gian edition. This amounts to the
snug little sum of one hundred
thousand dollars, which would pur-
chase considerable quantity of
medicine for frost bites.

Sent to the Randolph County
POOrhOuSe,

Officers Of the law, no matter how
humble and insignificant, in the
course Of their life in office, are
called upon to do some act that
causes their names to live when
they are gone. The act that will
perpetuate the name Of Joseph
Jones as Overseer of the Poor, for
Monterey district, was performed
bv MIN last Monday. it being no
less than the sending of Grover
Cleveland to the poor farm. After
we take our breath, it would be us
we'll to state that he is not the
Grover Cleveland who hangs about
Washington when he's not duck
hunting. but a namesake Of his who
may some day do him credit. Gro
YER Cleveland Wooddell, a youth of
four or FIVE years, a sister younger
than himself, and his mother came
to Mr.. James Riders a couple Of
weeks ago in a destitute condition.
and, in the absence Of Mr.. Rider,
his wife took them in. After OBJ
tanning lodging for the night they
refused to leave and could not be
prevailed upon to do so, until MIR.
Rider came home and made COM
plant to the authorities. As they
were residents of Randolph county,
Y. Va, Mr.. Jones thought the best
disposition that could be made of
the case was to send them to the
Randolph county poor farm, and
they were accordingly removed
there by doputy-sheriff Edward Ar
bogast.

A Deer Chase.

When we captured the wildcat,
we promised YOU an account Of our
next hunt, ana this time it was
deer chase.
One frosty November morning
Byas Cleek left home. intending to
be absent only a short time, but
every hunter knows that "circum-
stances alter cases." and this case
was altered by u wild deer which
lie shot annd wounded. He fol-
lowed it through the mountains
until near the home Of William
W oodzelle, and then decided to get
the dog and track it. MesSrs. Cir
ger and Woodzelle, participants OF
the wildcat hunt, took part in the
chase. The dog, however, had no
vocation for chasing game that he
could not see, and following his
master, he encouraged them by
barking, They had gone only a
short way when Mr.. Cleek sudden,
" took aim, fired several shots and
killed deer only a few feet from
him. AS the men g1zed upon the
beautiful animal at their feet, they
seemed to have no remorse for kill
ING it. They soon found it was not
the wounded deer they were chaS-
ing, The dog did not seem to'know
he was in disfavor. but barked as
gaily as if he had found the wound
ed deer.
Mr.. Ginger possessed a small.
grey, grizzled, drab-colored dog
that quickly proved he knew the
track Of a wounded deer when he
saw it, and his services were gladly
accepted for the balance OF the
hunt. The dog led with his nose
close to the ground, his great limp
ears Tapping up and down, a-lo1o
Looping movement aud a doleful
bark that would remind one Of
things dismal and uncanny. The
hunters with their guns quickly
followed, and thus the chase began;
On they went, up and down and
over ridges; through rocky hollows
oyer streams, logs and underwood;
eager, spirited, each enc listening
fer that dismal sound. At last, to
the eager ears of the hunters came
the change Of tone-the bayinS OF
the dog that the deer was found
Breathless and painting they reach
ed the scene. The poor, hunted an :
imal had lost hope and surrendered,
Mr.. Cleek soon ended its life, and
one by one the weary hunters
reached their homes, and the Cog,
content with pat on the head and
word of approval from his master,
quietly settled down to every day
life as if nothing unusual had oc-
