Some civic customs which were in
stituted during the middle ages still
continue in England. For example, the
crown has just issued the usual venison
warrants to the lord mayor and other
representatives, of the corporation. The
lord mayor receives four bucks, the
sheriffs three, and the recorder, cham
.berlain, town clerk, common sergeant
and remembrancer one each. Similar
gifts are made in the doe season in
December. These warrants, records of
which have been kept since the year
11O1, had their origin in the earliest
charters of the city, when the citizens
had their "huntfngs" secured to them.

JUST AS IKE DREAMED 1T.
A Vision That Rendered an Engineer
POMerIeSS to ANert Collision.


George Anderson, of Springfield, H.,
an engineer on the Wabash railroad,
died of injuries which he received in a
head-on collision at Naples recently.
On the morning of the accident An
derson dreamed that he had been in
collision, that he had been pinioned be-
meath his engine, and that the escaping
steam had begun to burn his flesh. when
lie awoke. Anderson was troubled by
the dream and told his family about it.
He said he felt that there was a warning
in the dream, and he was almost per
SGaded not to go out on the road that
day, but he went. Anderson talked to
his fireman about the preSentiment.
1t evidently preyed upon his mind, for
he became distracted in manner and al
most needless of his surroundings. The
nearer the train approached its destina

came, and he had the appearance of
dreaming again as he went about his
work in the cab. He did not give his
usual attention to the fireman, and the
latter felt that something was wrong
with the engineer.
At Bluffs Conductor Garrison got the
orders at the depot and took them to
Anderson. The engineer heard them
read and attended to the reading in the
same abSent-minded manner that had
marked his conduct throughout the
morning Taking the copies, he me-

and said:

The conductor was startled, and asked
him what made him say this.

Garrison told him he had only suf-
fered a nightmare. Anderson shook his
head gloomily and said he knew the ac

instructed him to meet a local freight
at Naples and wait for that train to
take the siding. When the point was

dashed by the switch the fireman saw
his engineer sitting as if in a trance.
At the same moment he saw the local

was inevitable and the fireman sprang
for the footboard, crying to the en-
gineer to jump.
Anderson looked at the fireman in
dazed manner, but made no movement
toward the cab entrance. The fireman
sprang out and the trains rushed to-
gether. Anderson was caught beneath
his engine just as he had dreamed he
would be and the steam enveloped him.
He was finally taken from his awful po-
sition, but he had received injuries from
which he soon died. Every other man
on the train escaped.-St. Louis Re

Reforming Criminals.

The burglar does not often reform.
He loves the excitement of hOuSebreak-
ing, the setting of wire traps to over
turn pursuers, the telescope ladders,
the dinner hours Of great house.
These are a passion and almost in
eradicdble. As to penal seryitude, such
men care nothing for few years, which
they serve in the most exemplary man-
ner, returning on ticket of leave much
sooner than novice. Then comes the
debauch, the merry life, the brief holt
day. which is so often taken up by
fresh crimes in the company of friends
newly released. a profitable crack"
as they say, more money for drink, days
OF unconscionable vice, empty pockets
and fresh burglary, after period of
scbriety wherewith to steady them
selves for their professional pursuits.

to the house of attack. Many have

tiles lying in a stubbornly evil quarter,

TRAPPING CROWS.
It Ii Not an Easy Matter to Net tho WHY
Birds.

It L. Not an Easy Matter to Net tho Willy
Crows are trapped and sold to sports
men for shooting matches. usually bring
ing $40 per 100, but, like other things,
when carce they bring more.
It is no simple matter to trap crows,
for the crow is q willy bird. and to catch
him in IA net set for that purpose re-
Quires skill. and patience az well, but
the hunger Of the crow is always the
trapper's greatest aid. One man alone
would make but little Roadway catching
crows and would probably sit all day in
his little bough house ready to spring
his net, but the crows would give his
bait q wide berth because they would
know that be was there.
After placing the carcass of some ami
NAL on a field the net is set close to it
by bending poles'of saplings, on which
the net is hung fiat to the ground, where
they are held down by triggerlike pegs,
and a line run so yards or more to "a
house built Of boughs, where the trap
per is secreted.
Another carcass is usually laid some
hundreds of yards distant on the same
or another field, where there is no net
sat. The trappers, usually two in num-
Der, 20 into the Dough house together
before daylight, and when the crows be-
gin to assemble ON the fields one of them
goes out and walks away. The rows,

but stop only long enough to get "a beak-
full of the flesh and fly off again. The
carcass where there is no net set is Of
course the best ~patronized, but the trap
per OH the outside makes it his business
to walk near enough TO that to keep the
crows from settling OF it in numbers
and thus satisfying their hunger with
out going TO the one where the net is.
After awhile their hunger gets the bet
ter Of their judgment or their fear, and
they gather ON the carcass where the
net is. This is the opportunity Of the
man In the bough house, who, with a
vigorous pull on the line. springs the
net over them. Quick work must be
done then by the trappers, who rush mp
to the net, to keep the trapped crows
from crawling out at the ends and the
front, where it is not staked fast to the
ground. With their hands covered with
stout buckskin gloves, TO keep the crows
from biting and scratching them. the
captured birds are put in bags ready to
be carried off the field. From 40 to 60
are frequently caught at one pull, but it
is a rare thing to get more than two
springs Of the net in n day.-Phila-

THE DEACON'S DONATION.
And why 1t Was Not Accepted by the
Town Committee.

And why 1t Was Not Accepted by the
Town Committee.
1t had been decided at q public meet
ing of the citizens they that would have
a combination library, reading Don and
social club in Hampton. The commit
tee, made up Of substantial members Of
the community authorized to act upon
their own Judgment, was in session at
Deacon Closes. he having a site hat he
wanted to sell for the proposed building.
81 regard this movement as deserving
Of popular approval and aid, said the
minister. 1T aims to secure a wider
ty among q people. Every one should
give according to his means"
After the editor, the doctor and the
banker had talked in the same vein, the
lawyer proposed that they get down to
business. Deacon Close" he contin-
ued. 'has a desirable lot for which he
asks 81. 600. 1t strikes me rs q pretty
stiff price. but / have no doubt that he
will make rs q donation Of $500 and
make a deed Of the site for III, 800"
There was applause, in which the
deacon did not participate. but rising
reluctantly he delivered himself as fol-
lows: II must say that I agree with
what has been said in praise of this en-
terprise. Our town needs it and there
Is no place for it more desirable than
the lot I have offered. OF course / want
to bear my full share Of the expense.
Since I offered you this lot" the
deacon went on, there has been a great
improvement in times. Money is easier,
prices are better and realty gets an n
HANGED value because Of the general
prosperity. / will let you have the lot
for 81, 500 and throw off $500 as a do
nation
The minister muttered something he
was glad the rest did not hear. The
doctor laughed. the banker scowled and
the lawyer moved to adjourn in a voice
that told the deacon he would have to
seek some other market for the lot that
had taken such a long and sudden jump
in value. Detroit Free Press.

side of the case in a forcible manner
and produced figures to support
their contentious. G.. A. Jewett of
Sioux Falls addressed the committee
on behalf of the jobbers and pointed
out many alleged determinations in
freight rates between points in the
state which needed attention. Mr..
Jewett grew heated towards the
close of his remarks and was not
complimentary in some of his refer
ences to railroad management. One
feature worthy of notice is that the
advocates of the bill speak from the
standpoint of jobbers and that the
benefits to the farmers are scarcely
referred to. Without doubt, the
passage of the bill would be follow
ed by a long period of litigation and
contention between the authorities
and the roads, and what the result
would be it is difficult to say.
