He Wns EYcnsed.

Dennis McCarty, q true son of Erin,
was suing his neighbor, William Smith,
for damages occasioned by the de-
fendant's carelessness in allowing his
donkey to escape from his stable and
trespass upon plaintiffs premises, thus
doing much mischief in his garden.
McCarty stepped into the witness box
to give evidence in support of his case,
and when he had finished the lawyer.

cceded to cross-examine him.
Now you mean to say that all this
injury to the property of which you
speak was caused solely by Smiths
donkey?"
"Sartinly, sor."

see this animal which you declare has
been the source of so much mischief?"
Il saw him tied UP in defendants

him?"
"On my premises, to be sure"
The lawyer now saw his chance, and
in his best manner pressed the ques-

How did you know it was the same
donkey?"
How did know?" was the derisiye
exclamation. "If I saw yez tied up in
a sthable, don't yez suppose I'd know
ye when yez got loose?"
The plaintiff was excused from fur
ther evidence.

Bicyclists make pedestrianism dan

sidewalks and obliging ladies to get

the matter. Measures should be taken
to keep such bicyclists where they be-

Plumbers Assncintion.

A Plumbers association has recently
been organized in this city. 1t is
thought by many that all persons do
ing plumbing in the city should be
registered. Some who are not compet-
ent, and have other occupations, often
undertake the business, and the asso-
citation feel that this should not be
allowed. A committee wish to meet the
board of health in order to consider
the best method OF sanitary plumbing.
The board recently adopted a set of
rules which have not yet been signed
by the mayor, and some suggestions
would seem to be appropriate from the
plumbers.

TaImnge and the Actor.

The Chicago Times-Herald prints a
story of DR.. Talmage's training by an
actor to whom he went when a young
man. After telling him to give up the
pulpit and use a platform, he picked up
a Bible, and asked: "Do you believe in
this book, and that the choice of life
and death Is here?" MIR. Talmage said
he did. Then, why do you read from
II and talk from It like this?" and the
teacher gave an Imitation Of average
pulpit elocution which his hearer re-
cognized as ludicrously exact. A
demonstration Of how an actor would
read the same passage followed, and
the first lesson ended with the pretty
cpigram: you ministers express what
you believe in such way that people
do not believe 1t, while we actors ex-
press what we do not believe in such a
way that people believe we believe it,"

SYDNEY Was Ready.

On one occasion, when Sydney Smith
was at Brighton, listening to the band
on the pier few medical students
who happened to be there thought they
would have a Joke with him, and ac-
cordingly one of their number went up
to him with outstretched hand and
said: "Ah! good morning, Mr.. Smith.
How do you do?"
II am quite well, thank you," replied
he; but L really have not the honor
of your acquaintance"
What" said the student: "you
don't know me? Why, / met you at

my apologies; but really saw so many
monkeys there that It is impossible for
me to recognize them all again."

brothers. Does q flock OF dung-hills, OF
many colors and sizes, bred in and in
for number of generations, produce
as many eggs as fine. well-bred and
wcll-kept flock of pure-bred birds of
any OF the improved breeds? say no.
And again, the eggs are not as large as
those from u good flock of Branlnas,
Langshans, Plymouth Rocks or any Of
the larger varieties. What city GUS
toner would not rather buy dozen OF
fine, large, uniform eggs for his own
table than to buy small ones ut the
same price?
We have had customers say to us: II
would rather pay you from one TO two
cents more for your eggs than some we
get at the store, because they are
larger" And this is not all. The
farmer wants u good laying fowl, and
at the same time fine, large, plump
table fowl, and one that will weigh
from five to ten pounds each on the
market
We often see farmers take load OF
chickens to town about the holidays
that would average about from three
to five pounds each. Why not invest
few dollars for good male birds and
increase tho size and looks of your
flock, and add from two TO three pounds
each to the weight with about the same
amount of feed and care.
1t is plasure to see n fine flock OF
pure-bred fowls of any breed. The day
for scrub stock is fast going by and
improved breeds are taking their place
