somnambulism Extraordinary.

There has been much excitement and
much discussion in FELTON,, Del, oven
a story Of the remarkable somnambulism
of Miss Chella Connor, the 19-year- old
daughter of A. b Connor, the station
agent at FELTON,.
On recent night Miss Conner re-
tired, but fell asleep before she dis
ROBBED. She had been in the room but a
short time when she walked out of the
house and up the railroad track. None
of the family saw her leave the house
and did not discover that she had gone
until some time after. They were great.
ly alarmed and at once made a search
for her. John Lynch, who knew the
girl well, said that he saw her walking
up the railroad track. but said nothing
to her The friends of the family al
once started in pursuit of her, but were
compelled to return without her Near
ly all night they secured the country
with bicycles and carriages, but none
of them thought to keep directly on the
railroad track. Miss Connor walked
straight up the track, and when she
awoke in the early morning she found
that she was near Cheswold, which is
II miles from where she started. She
at once took train and went home -

Fox and Hounds.

For little way the pack follows
steadily upon the line. gaining fast.
Suddenly a leading hound views 100
yards in front the beaten fox. He raises
his voice in frantic delight. The rest
of the pack in turn catch sight of their
prey, and now, ravening together, dash
forward with crash of voices, with re-
newed pace and vigor. The fox knows
now that the end is very near, yet he
still holds his head straight and PRESSES
on. The sight even to the hardened fox
hunter, is almost a pathetic one. Here
is no friendly ditch, no bush, no shell
ter Of any kind where the hunted
creature may set himself up at the last
and die at least with his back to the
wall. All is bare, inhospitable and
open. The pack flashes forward, one
hound three lengths ahead of his fel
lows. He is within five yards of his
prey. The fox suddenly faces round
with open mouth and barred teeth. The
big hound grapples him fiercely, receiv
ing nasty bite as he does So In an.
other instant the whole pack are mingled
in one wild delirium. The death has
come. The huntsman gallops up, jumps
off his good chestnut, rescues the dead
and now tattered quarry, and. with the
field gathered round him, proceeds to
conduct the last rites in due form. -

that he caught in three hours 80 of the
fish, and had it not been for severe
electric storm he would have caught
1000. A bolt of lightning struck his
teel, melted the metal and then follow

Barnett says that when it exploded the

the surface of the bay was covered with
dead fish The only one of the lot which

A Queer Queen.

A captain in a regiment stationed in
Natal, when paying his company one
day, CHANGED to give man Transvaal
half crown, which, as one would nat
urally expect, bears "the image and
superscription of President Kruger.
The man brought it back to the pay
table and said to the captain, PLEASE,
sir, you We given me bad half crown. "
The officer took the coin, and, with.
out looking at it, rang it on the table
and then remarked: ut sounds all
right, Bagster What's wrong with it?"
"You luke at it, sir, was the reply.
The captain glanced at the coin, say
