WILD ducks have never been as
scarce on the river as they are this
year. Very few have been seen and
from the reports we have been able
to get, much smaller number than
usual have been killed. The weather

which have continued for more than
day or so. Ordinarily the storms
in the fall last for several days and
the ducks come in large numbers

largely on the weather.

WHERE'S WITNESS WILSON?
He Will Be Wanted In Court This
Morning

He Will Be Wanted In Court This
Morning.
AS announced day before yesterday
the case of the Commonwealth against
Mrs. Cunningham. of Phoebus charged
with vicious assault upon an old man
at her husbands saloon. the St;trs and
Stripes, this week. was postponed until
this morning in orderato .enable her TO
secure the attendanceSof witness
named Wilson. commemorative At
torney Collier objected to putting off
the hearing upon the ground that the
woman and her husband. who is also
under Indictment for assault. are not
under satisfactory bonds. While he
does not question the integrity Of the
parties who became sureties for them,
he holds that In the event of the flight
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham the sums
named in the bonds could not be COL
iected because the bondsmen are not
worth it In the sense contemplated by
the statute. ..
Public sentiment is strongly against
the postponement of offenses of so Sc
rious a nature as the assault in uues-
tion.' Mr.. Collier is outspoken in his
opinion and is anxious to take the case
up. Mrs. Cunningham's attorneys
however. think that it ought to be de-
ferTed until the injured man has re-
covered from his wounds. as they fear
that his appearance as a witness in his
present condition would enlist the sym
pathy of the jurors. He was certainly
q pitiable object when he hobbled into
the courtroom Wednesday afternoon.
But it is hardly likely that the MEM
hers of jury would allow even the
sight OF a man who had been brutality
pounded by an Infatuated asSailant to
cause them to disregard their sworn
duty. -

Wednesday afternoon While Mortor

HE WAS THINKING.-Az Jealous ad-
vocate of missions was pleading his
cause before the inmates of large
lunatic asylum, says The Churchman'
The patients heard him with great
interest. He told how sad heather,
ism was in many ways-how some
times parents cast their little children
into the river to be eaten by croco'
diles, and sometimes children cast out
their aged parents. AS he spoke, one
man was moved to food of tears.
The function over the speaker ex-
pressed desire to see this person, and
he was bl fought.
"You seemed much interested in
my address,"
"Yes, very much interested"
"And even a little touched by what
I said"
"Very deeply touched" said the
patient, sobbing.
"May ask what it was that came
home to you, my friend?"
"I was sthinking''-then the patients
utterance was arrested by violent
emotion-"I was thinking" again he
sobbed heavily-"what pity it was
that your parents had not thrown you
out to be eaten by crocodile when
you were an infant"

SWEEPING FLooRs.-A boot and
shoe trade journal says: GAS a good
deal of harm is often done in sweeping
out store by dust soiling, we believe
our plan is worthy of adoption. Take
a shallow pan and partly fill it with
kerosene oil. Then dip the broom into
the oil, turning the broom handle to
the floor for a moment or two-long
enough to allow the oil to run into the
broom. Use soft, light broom. You
may have to dip the broom three or
four times. After sweeping a few
times you will have no dust, and your
floor will be white and clean. The
smell of the oil soon passes off. This
is the cleanest way on earth to sweep
a store. In sweeping after business
hours it is a benefit to the stock, as no
moths will bother the goods. If you
will try it for a week, it will always
be done. No oil will get on the floor
TO ipjure it Gt will soon evaporate), il
YOU are careful not to use the broom
too suddenly after dipping"

A LARGE WATER-WHEEL.-A son
of Erin, who lives on the line of the
Boston and Providence railroad, was
recently telling of water-wheel that
he had seen in Ireland, which he rep
resented to be so feet in diameter
with rim 10 feet wide.
"Oh, that is nothing to what I saw
at the White mountains" said a Yam
kee bystander. "There they had q
wheel 100 feet in diameter, to be used
at 400-foot fall"
"And what will they do with such a
wheel as that ?" asked Patrick.
"Oh," replied Jonathan, "it was bad
hay weather, and the farmers put 9
gear on one of the mountains, and
were going to turn the world the
other way, with the wheel, so that
the sun would not set for week
But the Chinese found out what was
going on, and they went down to Ded'
ham and got an injunction from the
supreme court. They did not want
to be left in the dark, and so the great
wheel stands still until this day."
"Ah!" said Patrick, "and what
won't the Yankees do next ?"
