BRIEE NENTION.

Baker was the Good Samaritan in this
case.
A. G. Blum's valuable bird dog was
attacted by vicious dog and severely
injured. One of the front legs was
broken and it was feared the poor
brute would have to be killed. DR..
Bardwell came to the relief of the suf,
fering animal and fixed it up. 1t is
now believed that the dog will get well.
Sam Jones asked the following peril
nent question: "Do you know that
boys are much more particular with
whom they go than girls are? You
may think it a strange statement, but
it is SO. A girl will go on the streets in
open day with boy that gets drunk,
but the minute boy finds out that
girl gets drunk he won't go with her.
Iwish our girls would be as particular
with whom they go as the boys are"
An exchange says that short time
ago school marin in a back-woods dis
trict was teaching spelling class, and
when the word 'husbandn was put on
the blackboard, none of the children
could pronounce it. In order to help
them out of their difficulty the teacher
asked: "What would | have if | should
get married?' The answer was prompt
but not what she expected, and she
blushed such a brilliant red that the
sunlight paled.
A New Jersey editor soberly asserts
that he has a COW that gets drunk on
cider. She manufactures her own bev-
erage by eating decayed apples that
have fallen in the orchard. He states,
furthermore that on the days when she
gets drunk, little nutmeg and egg
| converts her milk into an exhiliratine
beverage, resembling a mixture of
| punch and egg nog. That COW ought
to prove highly valuable to any man
who is anxious to go on spree at the
| lowest possible cost.
Learn to laugh, not giggle; hearty
| laugh is better than medicine A we'll
told story is as good as sunbeam in

| about your neighbors; they are just as
| good as you are. IF you cannot see
any good in the town you live in, pull
| out and leave, and the people will
| thank you for it. Learn to meet your
friends with smile. A good humored
man or woman is always welcome, but
| the pessimist is not wanted anywhere.
| He is nuisance.
| State Superintendent Schaeffer finds,
upon careful inquiry, that in the first
six counties Of the state, considered in
alphabetical order, fifty school teach
ers receive less salaries than the aver
age cost of keeping pauper. He de-
| precates this fact, and says ''that times
are hard now, but they will be much
harder in the next century if the chill
dren IN our schools do not get as good
| instruction as those of other states, if
| competition continues to grow as sharp
as it has in the last twenty years"
The supply ofapples from the 1898
crop of the United States is 7,700, 900
| barrels, compared with something over
10000, GOO last year and 10000, 900 in the
record breaking crop of 1886. The fail
ure is widespread reaching from the
Pacific coast to Maine, and in none of
the states does the output of fruit ap-
proach an average. In the great apple

absolute failure, although the situation
in Michigan is better than elsewhere,
having about two-thirds of the bumper
crop of 1895 New York has only one
fifth of crop. The crop of Europe is
reported below the normal.
An exchange tells how a man in a
neighboring town who thinks he knows
it all got revenge on election day: The
next day he went into one of the prom
inent hotels in town with a sample
ballot and was showing a friend how
he voted. "Now," he said, Tjust made
up my mind that would scratch that
cussed cur off my ticket" Then he
took pencil from his pocket and made
cross where his enemy's name ap
peared. "Didn't you make any more
marks on your ballot?" asked hi.
, friend. 81 Ishould say not; that was the
: fellow wanted to beat" "Why, you
monkey, that fellow you made you
cross next was the only person yoI
voted for" The intelligent citizer
dropped his chin on his collar butto1
and he went out like cat shot with {
= boot.iack and wepU wet tears.
