capture or sc.pexo.r,

A certain Sunday school head
teacher was much worried by the
noise of the scholars in the room
next to him.
At last, unable to bear it any
longer, he mounted chair and look
ed over the partition dividing the
two rooms to see who the offenders
were.
Seeing one boy a little taller than
the others talking a great deal, he
leaned over, seized the boy by the
collar, lifted him over the partition
and banged him into a chair in his
room, saying:
"Now be quiet"
He then resumed his lesson, until
about a quarter of an hour later,
when a small head appeared at his
door, and a meek little voice said:

is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for La Grippe, we have yet to

IN pneumonia, which shows conclu-

Two Meals at Which the Professor We
Served With a Surprise.

II was in Brazil when Professor
Agassiz made his expedition there
in behalf of the Harvard scientific
school," remarked a friend lately.
"At that time 1 was associated with
certain other engineers, English and
American, who were directing the
construction of Dom Pedro's rail.

t science, mad given Agassiz a o
dial reception, and when the expe.
dition began its journey into the in.
terror I was one of the several en-.
gineers detailed by him for an hon.
orary escort. We knew the country
and the language and bore the ranb
and uniform of Brazilian officers.
This made it doubtless an agreeable
arrangement for tho professor, and
I recall those several weeks in camI
with him as the most delightful
ever knew. His quick, nervous man.
mel and bright talk rendered him 9
never failing our of entertain.
ment, and his general good nature
and affability at once endeared him
to every member of the party.
"The professor was particularly
solicitous for a specimen of the
horned frog, a broad, fiat lizard in
fact, which is found in our OWL
southwest country, but in Brazil at.
tains unusual size. All of us were
anxious to crafty him. One morn.
ing, just as the cook was serving
breakfast, some one appeared out.
side with an immense frog of the
kind desired. We were taking ou1
places at table, and at a sign from
me the cook intercepted the bearer,
substituted the frog for buckwheat
cakes between two platters and
placed it covered before the pro.
fessor.
THE tent was filled with theappe.
thing odor of the buckwheats, and,
talking in his bright vivacious way,
Agassiz turned the cover to attack
his pile of cakes. Out jumped the
frog upon the cloth, into the pro.
fessor's lap. Agassiz, with a startled,
delighted cry, was on his knees in
a moment, scrambling under the ia
BILE, where he triumphantly captur.
ed the prize. In the laugh which
followed none joined more heartily
than he.
"a tank'of water stood in the din.
ing tent wherein rar and curious
fish were placed for the professors
leisurely examination. Among these
one day was an uncommon speci-
men, somewhat like our pike OF
jackfsh. It was a foot long and its
mouth was armed with rows of sharp
teeth. The professor, very near
sighted, was bending close down to
examine this, when suddenly the
fish struck up and seized him firmly
by the nose. Here was a demon
stration of its unusual characters
tic. This fish vas a treasure. It
was now doubly valuable as a mu-
scum specimen. The professor was
in ecstasy. In the midst of the next
meal he was displaying his scars,
proud as a German student, and
nothing would do but that he must
show us the teeth of the fish. But
the fish was gone. You have just
eaten him, SIR the cook explained.
The professors disappointment was
too apparent. He might possibly
secure another specimen, but hardly
one which would leap out of the
tank to seize him by the nose, even
if he cared to venture the expert
ment. New York Post.

A Tel:tale Nan.

DR.. John Dome, the famous Eng
fish divine and poet, who lived in the
reign Of James I, was a veritable
Sherlock Holmes in bent of mind. A
writer in London Tit-Bits tells of
one of his famous exploits:
He was walking in the churchyard
while a grave was being dug, when
the sexton cast up a moldering
skull. The doctor idly took it up,
and, in handling it, found headless
nail driven :nto it. This he man
aged to take out and conceal in his
handkerchief. 1t was evident to
him that murder had been done. He
questioned the sexton, and learned
that the skull was probably that of
a certain man who was the proprie-
tor of a brandy shop, and was a
drunkard, being found dead in bed
one morning, after a night in which
he had drunk two quarts of brandy.
"Had he a wife7" asked the doc
tor.
Eyes"
"What character does she bear7"
"She bore a very good character,
only the neighbors gossiped because
she married the day after her hus-
bands funeral. She still lives here"
The doctor soon called on the
woman. He asked for and received
the particulars of the death of her
first husband. Suddenly opening his
handkerchief, he showed her the
telltale nail, asking, in a loud voice:
Madam, do you know this nail2"
The woman was 81 surprised that
she confessed and was tried and exc
cuted.

The Yankton Gazette prints the fol-
lowing Scotch story, which suggests. if
it does not actually illustrate, the
present status OF some matters at
Pierre:
A Scotch tradesman, who had
amassed, rs he believed, $4,000. was
surprised at his old clerk showing by Il
balance sheet that his fortune was
$4,000. 1T Gamma be; count again.
said the old man. The clerk did count
again and again declared the balance
to be $4,000. The master himself
counted, and he also brought out a
clear balance of $4,000. Time after
time he cast up the columns; it was
still six. not q four that rewarded his
labors. So the old merchant, on the
strength OF his good fortune, modern
ICED his house and put money in the
purse of the carpenter. the painter and
the upholsterer. Still, however, he
had a lurking doubt OF the existence OF
the extra G., OOO; so one winter night
be sat down to give the columns lone
count" more. AT the close of the task
he jumped up as though he had been
galvanized and rushed out in a shower
of rain to the house of the clerk, who,
capped and drowsy, put out his head
from an attic window at the sound OF
the knocker, mumbling. "Who's there
and what dye want?' rye scoundrel,'
exclaimed his employer. ''ye've added
| the year OF our Lord among the pOOns!'

HARD up FOR CAMPAIGN MATTER.

Beresford Republic: A tendency on
the part of the present board of county
commissioners to bridge the Sioux
river before crossings are provided for
the inland streams, will cost Mr.. Dodd
votes In the contest this fall. We are
liberal enough to believe that Mr.. Dodd
acted as he thought best for the county;
but not all are that conservative.
People in this commissioner district
are interested in the roads TO the
county seat, and these are sadly
neglected in some places.
1t is hardly fair for the Republic to
make campaign matter of such stuff.
The law limits the bridge fund to two
mills on the valuation rs equalized by
the state board. A commissioner can
spend just so much money on bridges
a. the law allows and no more. The
bridge money is diverted TO the extent
of its usefulness to the largest number.
II Mr. Dodd is delegated to handle this
limited fund he can hardly please
everybody in the county. The matter
Of getting bridges back into place after
the floods of last spring has been nc
easy task and If Mr.. Dodd failed to
build $4,000 worth of bridges with
$1,000 appropriation is it fair to criti-
else him? Perhaps Mr.. Roman can
make so cent dollar buy one dollars
worth of bridge timber, but we all
know he cannot do it.-Alcester Union.
