but no record appears, that the town gave
$1,000. | learn that about 1867 the town

1888, the town voted to close contract To
carry an iron bridge across in the same

There We're farmers in the south

vast line of railroad has been laid from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. Mail,

In SIX days from one ocean to the other

years ago the foot of man had never trod.
Electricity has developed in a similar
manner. By submarine wire across the

that we are obliged to do so but 1t

cross and disagreable. When he
has wives enough to fill all his
moods he's happy and 50 are the

plural marriage took the sentiment
out of marriage. 1t does not. A
man loves all his wives. He's not
in love with just one of them.
"The other women? Oh, they
don't mind it; OF, if they do, they
do as other women do in plural
marriage and in single marriage.
Men my dear, are not angels;
they're rather troublesome crea-
lures, but they're bearable when
they're managed right. Plural
marriage is the right way to man

There were no homeless women

A Duel Avoided.

The elder Dumas, the eminent French
novelist, was not spared the severe crlti-
cisms which attack famous name, but,
like all wise men, he was content to treat
these attacks with dignified silence. Not
so his son. Exasperated by the partlcu-
larlv severe criticisms OF a noted journal
ist, the young man-thtn in his college
davs-took upon himself to right the
wrongs to his father, and sent two chums
to arrange for duel with the offender.
Calmly the journalist listened to what
they had to say. When they had con-
cluded he called a servant, directing him
to tell his son to come to the study.
"Gentemen," said he, las this appears
to be an affair of sons, and not of athers,
etiquette would seem to demand that you
should arrange your matter with my
son. He will be here directly, and nc
doubt will give you the satisfaction you
wish"
So saving he LEFT the room, and mo-
ment later the journalists son entered
