had borrowed them.

est about this thing, and to carry out
our purpose It is necessary that we
have those articles on the premises to

In. Inc son who was eating the cakes
cooked on the defendants griddle was
the very one who had made such hasty
use OF the power of attorney Finally
the griddle came in, and was placed
with the other goods to be sold.
When the time for the sale arrived
there was no one present but the de-
fendant, the plaintiff and a man who
had been delegated by brother of the
defendant to purchase the goods at
whatever cost and get a bill of sale
for them. Finally il was found neces-
sary to send one of the party down
town to invite enough persons to go to
the house TO make the sale interesting.
About a dozen came as personal favor
to the defendant
The sale began, there were two or
three bids, and finally everything was
knocked down to the brother of the de-
fendant for just enough TO satisfy the
rent claim and costs. The money was
paid, and the bill of sale delivered
Then the person acting for the brother
of the defendant, removed the goods Ia
another house, and the defendant was
given the use of them free of charge
The defendant offered to give III
possession of the other house if the
landlady would reimburse him for the
expense that had been entailed upon
him by reason of her sons revengefu
action, and release him from liabil-
ity for rent for the current year. but
she refused to do so. After leaving a
few reserved articles in the house, he
nailed up the windows, locked the
doors and put the key in his pocket

WANTED A BIGGER BooK.


West Yard is a wonderfully busy
place. In the course Of a day dozens
Of freight trains are made up there and
sent to their various destinations. 1t
is a dangerous place to work, and a
much more dangerous place to loaf.
Most of the persons killed out there
have no legitimate business there, and
considering the large number Of such
persons who trespass on the yard in
the course Of a year, il is a wonder
that many more are not killed or maim-
ed. With all the the dangers which the
trainmen have to face in the making up
of trains they have their jokes and full
ly appreciate them.
Not long since, the Wayfarer is told,
a green brakeman was instructed by
his conductor to take the number OF all
cars composing the train, together with
the various roads to which they be-
for this purpose.
He did the work uncomplainingly
until he came to a b. & o. box car.
Now anyone who has ever seen a box
car belonging to that line must have
noticed the mammoth size Of the COM
pany's initials on its side. When the
EittM UldhtAitill Atdiltu Alilo Nolf ulN
walked back to the conductor and told
him that he had got all but that one
car and the name of IL was so big that
he could not get IL in such a small
book. The conductor laughed and told
him to reduce the size Of the letters to
suit the size of the book The brake
man said that he never thought of that.
When the conductor looked over his
work he found that the fellow had not
only taken the number of the cars, but
also the initials. capacity, when built
when repaired. weight, and even the
chalk marks designating what was 10

good TO keep and the consequence was
that the other trainmen made life a

for several weeks, and he has not yet

son caught the squirrel in the woods.
and though he was severely bitten by
him brought him home and shut him
up in box in the garret The squirrel
loved his freedom too well, succeeded
in gnawing his way to liberty and en-
scOnced himself in the walls. He was
not content TO remain quiet but for
some time has made life a burden to
the occupants by the noise he makes.
Every morning he starts out for
kind of a century run about the house.
/ evidently to improve his digestion, and
he disturbs the family at night. He
has made havoc with heap of nuts in
the attic, and evidently has no consci+
entious scruples against the apprOpria-
tion Of other food. All kinds of traps
have been set for him, but the little
animal is too smart to be caught in any
of them. An inverted tub was set FOR
him few nights ago and so arranged
that II he touched the bait the tub
would fail and imprison him, but he
apparently paid no attention to thu
scheme. He disappeared for a few
days, and the family hoped he had
gone for good but he evidently liked
his new quarters. for he returned in a
few days. These seems TO be nothing
for Mr.. Atkinson to do but to burn hk
