SAMUEL NORRIS, the Morgantown

that is quite curiosity. 1t has
been in the Morris family for over
sixty years and he values it very
highly on this account. 1t was
found by his father, Isaac A. Morris
along the Monongahela river on the
Greene county side about a mile
above Point Marion on the old Nor
ris homestead. For forty years it
was used in the Morris household
for doorstep When first found
the nature of the instrument was not
known, but on account Of its form
being peculiar and that it was of
brilliant polish they kept it as
mere freak of nature 1t weighs
little over three pounds, and in the
hands of muscular Indian it would
make formidable weapon in war.
Archaelogoists are at variance as to
the uses to which these instruments
were put, but it is possible they were
used for many purposes by the saw
ages. -Neacs Standard

Tho Feathered Hobo.

"Did you ever know that the English
sparrow is a tramp" asked Depot Su-
perintendent Sanford the other day.
"Well, he is, and the worst kind of a
hobo. Recently have seen q flock Of
them fly from under the pilot Of one 10
comoti7e to the pilot of an outgoing 10
comotive. and il that way they travel
over the country.
SHARP? Well l shCuld say 80. It's
the brightest bird lnow Of, as 1 have
maintained for long time"
Mr.. Sanford was in dead earnest, end
tho reporter went out to look for him
self at these tramp" sparrows. AS he
stood under the sheds at the union depot
a big Missouri Pacific engine came
along pulling in slowly from it's long
trip from st. Louis. No sooner had the
train come to a standstill until out
from under tho pilot Of thv locomotive
hoped q dozen English sparrows. They
looked around as if to get their bear
ings, and then made straight for the
pilot of a Burlington engine Thoy dis
appeared, and remained there until the
train pulled out.
Sure enough the English sparrow is
a tramp. Evidently they are sharp
enough to know they will be transport
ed over the country without exertion.
1t may be that they enjoy the rapidly
moving engine, at least it evidently
pleases them to take a free ride.-Kan-

T1no Russian Wolf Tound.

Faro1f Russia, where winters are so
severe that but for few mouths in the
entire year are the fields free from snow,
is the home of breed of dogs known
there as the Borzoi, or Psovoi. The
dogs are grand in aspect, with long,
flowing coats Of silken texture that de-
fy the terrible Geld, ard they are built
on lines that speak volumes for the an
tiquity Of their origin In this country
they are known as Russian wolf hounds.
England is the country that has per-
haps done most for the breed. Some 10
years ago the Briton secured the best
that Russia had and bred them with
the exceeding Judgment he displays i'll
such matters. He today possesses be-

Burns Won the Dinner.

There is story told OF Robert Burns
in his youth. Burns was living in the
town of Ayr and, though still young,
had attained more than a local reputa-
tion as poet One day he was passing
through the main street Of the town and
saw two strangers sitting at ons of the
inn windows. With idle curiosity he
stopped to look at them. Seeing him
and thinking that the rustic might af-
ford them some amusement while wait
ing, the strangers called him in and
asked him to dine with them Burns
readily accepted the invitation and
proved merry. entertaining guest.
When dinner was nearly finished, the
strangers suggested that each should
try his hand at versemaking and that
the one who failed to write rhyme
should pay for the dinner They felt Sc
cure in the challenge, believing that
their rus ic guest would pay for the
meal. The rhymes were written, and
Burns read the following: II, Johnny
Peep, saw two sheep; two sheep saw
me. Half crown apiece will pay for
their fleece, and ], Johnny Peep, go
free. The strangers astonishment was
great, and they both exclaimed: who
are you? You must be Robbie Burns"
