MOST PECULIAR ROOSTER.

He Very Much Resembles . Bird OF Par
adise.
To see rooster that resembles bird
OF paradise is a rare sight, but such
one has recently been a common spec
tacle in Japan. says the New York
World.
This particular fowl was, apart from
his gorgeous appendage, of the ordinary
type found in Japan, except that he was
a little more proud in his bearing than
his fellows.
1t may have been his manner that first
led to his selection as the bearer Of n
most magnificent tail. The brief history
that can be obtained Of this freak
rooster is silent on that point. 1t prob
ably was selected because only an AFRO
giant, lordly manner could support such
wonderful and variegated appendage.
Be that as it may, the rooster did GER
talnly have a tail Is feet long. In it were
all the bright colors imaginable. The
tail was far more brilliant in its color
ings than the shining feather-fan Of a
peacock.
The neighbors Of the Jap displayed no
interest in the freak bird, but were
amused by those who expressed admira,
ton and wonder, who were invariably
foreign travellers.
Then it was discovered that the beau.
tiful long tail was not freak of nature.
but the clever work OF the ingenious
Jap, who had fashioned and fastened the
tai IN such way as to defy detection
except after the most minute scrutinv.

WHIPPING HIS WEIGHT.

!. In the loe~.ng camps of Michigan
might makes at and the man who has
whipped all c>.mers in fair fights is
king of his c&u.a.
One of these, said a logger, was very
boastful of his exploits. He had been
the victor in a dozen fights and no one
cared to enter the lists with him, but
every man in the camp hated the
champion. Going into saloon one
day he announced: I'm tired of these
babies in camp. Iain't had a good fight
in Michigan. l can whip my weight in
dogs, wildcats or anything that breathes
for $780,"
A meell-look.n man took the bet and
arrangements for the fight were made.
It was to tale place in a closed room
one week from, the time the bet was
made.
The day came and the champion
called: "Ering on your animals" The
man who had bet against the king Of
the camp brought his antagonist in q
large sack, which had been deposited
behind the stove in the saloon where the
match had been entered into, the
weather just beginning to get cold. The
gladiator entered the room, the sack
was empted and the people crowded at
the window to see the contest. Out of
the sack came three large hornet nests,
the occupants of which had been revived
by the heat.
They issued from the nests in swarms
and lit all over the man. He fought
them for minute or two, then, with a
yell, jumped through the window, car
rying sash ard glass with him, never
stopping until he reached the river, into
which he jumped.
"Said he could whip his weight in
anything that breathed," remarked the
meek little man, as he pocketed the
stakes, "but about five pounds of hornets
knocked him out in the first round."-

Considerable dissatisfaction is
being expressed because our school
is not running. We learn from
one of the trustees that there be-
ing no application from teachers,
they cannot start. We hope APP
plications to teach will now pour
in on them, as it is time that these
matters be given consideration.
At this writing our upper lip
hangs limpid, owing to the inces-
SAINT wet weather, and the features
of our farmers is assuming an in
digo hue. 1t is deplorable indeed,
but it is painfully evident that in
the future our farmers like the
eastern farmers will be compelled
to build barns or sheds for their
grain, and also make arrangements
for sufficient help to harvest their
crop regardless of their neighbor,
or their dependence on their
neighbours help. Those who cut
and threshed their grain while
they had good weather are fortu-
nate indeed, and if this weather
continues at least 80 per cent of
the grain around Denver will be a
total loss. Never in our history
have we had such a prolific yield
both in quality and quantity.
There is very little consolation to
offer under existing circumstances.
With high rate of taxation and
a complete loss of their crops, the
farmers of this county are certainly
to be pitied, as the majority Of
them are wholly dependent upon
their crops to meet current ex-
penses, and when the farmer meets
with failure the result is felt in
all channels of trade in a most dis
astrOus manner.

Sequel to an Experience Of . Struggling
Young Author.
you remember my telling you
awhile ago, when we were talking about
the vicissitudes Of life," said a strug-
Cling young author, according to the
New York Sun, about an experience
that l had once? I had a number OF
manuscripts, you remember, which I
desired to sell and which l sent out to
the publications I thought them best
suited for. One after another they came
back. until they had all come back but
one. That one, in my own judgment,
was much the best of the lot, and had
built strong hopes upon it; and when,
so to speak, it still didn't come back, I
felt sure that it had been accepted
But after waiting awhile longer and not
hearing from it, l wrote, asking about
it, and the publisher wrote me a polite
note saying they had no record of it; it
had never been received.
THAT was the story as told it to
you, and supposed that that was the
end Of it; and it was pretty tough,
wasn't it? But now let me tell you the
sequel.
"Of course wrote a polite note in
reply to the publisher; and in that note
I described the manuscript and said
that perhaps it might yet be found;
and later it was found, and, by snakes,
they returned it!
THAT was solemn; but it was one Of
those things that are so everlastingly,
gosh-blastedly solemn that you have to
laugh over 'em; and there can't be
anything very terrible in anything that
You can laugh over; SO, you see, come to

A Russian Daniel.

Not long ago Russian judge was
called upon to decide knotty point re-
lating to promissory note, which the
debtor had made payable on saint
Henry's Day." Now it happens that
there is no such saints day in the Ortho-
dox Russian calendar. Hence, how
could the court give Judgment on .
bond in which it could not be said that
the debtor had made default? Yet
justice evidently required that the
lender of the money should be repaid.
Then il occurred to the judge, who had
a share of the shrewdness of Sancho
Panza or the wit Of Joe Miller. that the
festival of "All Saints" must necessari-
ly include even the dubious saint in
question, and he gave Judgment accord
ingly for payment on that day.--N. Y.

A TRUE MUSICIAN.
Whitcomb's Genius Turned an Old Fiddle
into . Thing Of Beauty.


Whitcomb's Genius Turned IN Old Fiddle
Into Thing Of Beauty.
James Whitcomb was q prominent
citizen Of Indiana in her early days,
and he was not only q politician, but one
of the best amateur musicians in the
country. He composed several pieces
for the violin, which was his chosen
instrument, and many are the stories
told of him and his fiddle.
At one time, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, he was travelling from Indianapo-
the night at house on lonely road.
He entered the cabin with his compan-
ion, and there they found lame young
man called Amos, sitting by the fire
scraping at an old violin with most dis
astrOus results.
He laid the violin on the bed and
started away to the stable with the
horses. Mr.. Whitcomb at once took up
the violin, tuned it, and when Amos re-
turned was playing light and beauti-
full airs. Amos was entranced. He sat
down, and, mouth wide open in wonder,
watched the musician. Then Mr.. Whit
comb struck up Hail Columbia" and
the youth could bear it no longer. He
sprang to his feet.
IF had $780," cried he, I'D give it
all for that fiddle! Inever heard such
music"
Mr.. Whitcomb said nothing, but kept
on playing. By and by, when he had
finished, he laid the violin on the bed.
This was the young mans opportunity.
He sprang up. seized the instrument,
carried it to the fire, where he could sec
more plainly, and turned it over and
over, examining every part.
Mister" he sang out, in high excite
ment. II never in my life see two I'D
dies SO much alike as yours and mine!''
