From the Wcatherly Herald
Everybody knows Dan Hayes, the old
baseball twrler, and foreman in the silk
mill. Wen, we heard very funny yarn
concerning Dan the other day which ran
as follows: On Thanksgiving Day one of
Dams many friends presented him with a
rabbit. He took the cotton tail home in
great glee, thinking what a feast the
Hayes family would have on the morrow.
Dan had never cleaned rabbit before,
but he thought that a very simple matter
aud proceeded to do the act, to the best
of his knowledge How well he succeed
ed can be imagined from the answer to
the friends query IA day or two after
wards as to how he enjoyed the rabbit.
Il scalded and plucked it," said Dan,
''and it was fine"

Tuesday, he found the mans widow at

she said she was making a coffin for her
husband, and that she intended having
his body hauled to the place of burial on
a coal wagon. The woman explained
that she had no money with which to
give her. husband a proper burial.
Threatened with arrest, she summoned

as are horses. Instead, however, of be-
ing driven by a coachman seated on
box. each of the animals carries the
regulation driver, who is seated in sad
die, and who directs the beasts as if
they were going each on its own ac-
count. The practical outcome of this
experiment has been to demonstrate
the fact that this coach-and-four was
able to cover distance of 90 miles in 20
minutes less time than the ordinary
four-in-hand horse coach did.

II is not difficult to understand that the Re-
publican Senators were indispOsed to take any
step in haste regarding the importation Of sugar
from Hawaii which might by any possibility
cinbarrass the President in negotiations.
Doubtless the committee to which the subject
was referred will be able. perhaps after con-
sultaton with the President, to report some
form Of action which will not tend to interrupt
any plans he may have or TO impair any interest
the Nation may have In the Hawaiian Islands
or the commerce Of the Pacific. But II may be
not untimely to observe that the interest Of the
United States is not exclusively or even largely
In the islands as n sugar farm. Some Of tho
facts appear to he unknown or commonly for
gotten which have an important bearing on the
subject.
