A NOVEL
An Italian Pays $50 for a Lost Glass
Eye.

An Italian Pays $50 for a Lost Glass
Eye.
A well known italian confectioner
in the downtown district vas last
night made a dupe in a novel swim
ding scheme, that cost him $50. A
stranger came to the fruit stand, and,
while looking over the bananas, sud-
denly lost his glass eye among the
fruit. After searching for a while he
went away, saying that if the Italian
found his eye he should take it to his
hotel, and there he would receive 500
for it. A few moments later another
stranger came along. The Italian saw
him grasp the glass eye while examin-
ing some fruit. That was too much
for the owner to stand, and he offered
the stranger $50 for the eye. The
offer al accepted, but when the 1tal-
ian took his prize to the hotel there
was no one there to reclaim it. He
notified the police of the swindle.-

Whisky Experts In Arkansas Courts.
Rather q novel proceeding came up
before Squire Hastings court one day
last week. A writ of replevin had been
brought to recove a horse that had
been traded while the plaintiff was IN
der the influence of liquor. The de-
PENDANT was his own lawyer. He put
in a plea that a person was never so
drunk but what he knew what he was
doing, and called in John Baker as a
whisky expert, to prove that fact, but
it is said that the expert got tangled
up somewhat and failed to convince
the court that the position taken by
the defendant was correct. From this
on, we presume, whisky experts will
become popular, al we could mention
several that are in training.-Boone

Rev. Hassard considers his
chances too good for chaplain at

receive that position, it is extreme

before the end of his years pastor

even then. He will preach here
every Sunday morning and night,
and at Bush City every Sunday af-
ternoon, until HE announces that he

the connection between himself and
the church should cease, he will be
the one who will tender his resigna.
