A NOVEL BATTLE.
1t Was FierceIy WaSed Between a
Sparrow and Locust for
half m Hour.

novel battle between an English
sparrow and n locust was witnessed by
{ number of people on Sixth avenue,
III Dayton, Ky. the other day. The
fierce contest lasted fully half az
hour, and although the odds were all
OIL the side of the sparrow as regards
armOr, armament and displacement,
vet the locust fought aggressively I'M
til he was fairly whipped. The spar
row would make a dash at the locust
with his bill. and the latter would
avoid the attack with n quick side
lump. The locust would then make a
savage onslaught on the sparrow,
striking at the eyes of its opponent
with sharp-pointed feet. A street car
would pass every few minutes and
separate the belligerents for the
roDce. The fight would then be re
rewed with increased vigor The in
itiative was usually taken by the To-
Gust and he would fly 80 or 40 feet
to renew the attack. The sparrow at
last. however, struck vulnerable spot
in lis antagonist, and then proceeded
to pat coup-de-grace to the battle
10y picking the locust's head off.

tended that she should he addressed

the matter to the first man they met.
He proved to be an Irishman. They
stated the case to him and ask ed for
his decision.
"Nayther of yez is right" he said

THE RETURNED KLONDIKER.
He Found His Friend Deeply I'm

He was Just back from the Klon-

the sensation he would create when at
last he returned home laden with gold
and stories from that frozen cline.
Meeting an old friend on the street he
rushed eXcitedly forward and shook
him warmly by the hand, says the De

enough of it to carry on the war. Why

MAMMOTH STURGEON.
Capturing Half-Ton Fishes Is a Mat
ter of Common Occurrence In
British Column bia.

/ saw a sturgeon in Victoria, on the
cannery floor, measuring IL feet by the
tape and weighing more than 600
pounds. Anyone wishing to deceive the
public by aid of a prevaricating cam
era should pose beside this 12-foot fish.
The men who skillfully and laboriously
reduced it to sections with an AK said
it was not an uncommon fish, though
the biggest on the floor; that they
often found them far larger, and weigh
ing as much as 200 pounds, says the
Toronto Globe.
Two men lifting a half-ton fish into
their boat is the exciting feature OF
sturgeon fishing. The sturgeon, II not
fastened in his thick hide, is apt to re-
sent il. He shakes his head in en-
phatic dissent; and head three feet
long and as big as log, when vigorous
" shaken BY half-ton body, is a thing
to be avoided The tail, too, is a source
of danger, for it not only slaps with en-
ergv, but can cover large surface
with one application. The man new al
the business is apt to get hurt the hrst
time he helps to coax a wrigglng stur-
eeon of standard size over the gun
vale
On the floor of the cannery it is a
great inert mass of flesh. The first OPP
Grafton of the butcher is TO chop Cff
the head and tail with an AK, and for
these free gifts of nature the Indian
and Chinaman are eagerly waiting at
the door The fins are cut off with a
knife. and these are not allowed TO &c
to waste. AS the refuse is shoveled
along the planks to the river there Is
little allowed to pass the coast native
and his cousin with the braided hair
Cinnamon potter around the place and
help to clear away the refuse for the
sake of what they can CLEAN, and have
a weakness for taking parts not in
tended for the river. When such Mon,
golian tricks are discovered the China
men are all driven out with more noise
than ceremony, but they take their eX
pulsion with oriental Indifference and
in few minutes are all back again.

HAD HEARD OF CLEVELAND.
NewsbOy's Response to Worthy
CIerGyman's WeII-Meant
Advances.

Rev. Ward Beecher Pickard, of Ep-
worth Memorial church, while on his
vacation in the east, has been writ
ing a series OF interesting letters to
the Sunday school. In his last he
told of an incident in Boston, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
He was walking along the common
che morning and stopped TO buy a
paper from a bright-faced newsboy.
Have you ever heard of a place
out west called Cleveland?" he asked
the boy.
''Sure. That where you belong?''
came the quick reply.
Yes" my little man." said Mr.. Pick
ard. but what do you know about
Cleveland?"
Il know it's out on Lake Erie and
youse got a dondy baseball club.
They're crowding our boys too close
for comfort, and that's no joke,
either"
Whether the dignified pastor Of one
ofCleveland's most prominent churches
was pleased or not his letter did not
say, but he asked the boy how old
he was and paid for his paper, saying:
There are II pennies, one for each
year. If YOU grow up to be as good
Il man as you are bright now you'll
be all right"
I've been told that before" was
the parting response from the little
chap as the preacher moved on.

NAMES FOR MONEY.
This Year 1t Is OIL and "Let the Oil
Trickle" Is Saying That Is
Heard in the Land.

To Artemus Ward is attributed the
saying that there are many men in the
United States who never seem to have
any money, there does not seem to be
any men in the United States who
haven't a name for money, and the less
money a man has the more names he
uses. Many colloquial names for
money, if not indeed a majority of
them, have their origin among gam
blers, or at least card players and other
individuals who delight to be described
in the newspapers as "memberS of the
sporting fraternity" says the New
York Sun. Last summer the name very
generally in use for money was the
word "cush;" the summer before the
word phrase in most general use was
1.-The long green" Prior to that such
nouns were frequently in use as
dough" sugar" stamps" ''the
ready dust" 1.-THE old stuff" 'the
price," "the coin," and "sponduleX."
This year the favorite seems to be
1.-The OIL" and what has come to be a
familiar expression is "let the oil
trickie," which Is a latter-day version
of the old familiar advice, put up or
shut up" When one such expression
is fairly started on its way to popular
ity it remains in use for usually year,
or until superseded by one more de-
scriptive or having at least better
claims to acceptance as verbal novel
ty. Oil has one marked point of re-
semblance to money. 1t is hard to hold.

EXPECTED A LIVING BURIAL.
Spanish Soldiers Taken at santiago
Thought Americans Were
Barba rians.

There is no doubt that many of the
Standards after the battle of Santiago
believed that the Americans would
shoot all captives. A touching story
at FL Caney that shows this feeling
was related by a staff officer, writes
Rev. d. Henry c. McCook in the Phlla-
delphia Press. After the capture OF
the fort that crowned hill burial
party under Capt. Allen proceeded TO
inter the Spanish dead, which was done
by LAYING them IN their own trenches
dug before the earthworks, as was
also done at San Juan. Near by lay
lad of Il, shot through the hips. As
the bodies of his comrades were borne
| behind him he would turn his head
and follow the sad work with horror
stricken countenance. The American
officer observed his face, and, rightly
discerning his feelings, called an inter
prefer and assured the youthful SOL
der that no harm would be done him.
shall | not be brried alive, along with
my dead comrades?" was the anxious
gnery.
NO. no! You shall be cared for
presently, and your wounds dressed
and tended to as il you were an Amer
lean"
The youths face was instantly trans
formed. His horror was changed to
happiness, his fear to friendship. He
| reached out his hand to Capt. Allen
with profuse thanks, and until he was
taken to the hospital he showed his
gratitude by shaking hands with every
American who came near. Poor lad!
And he, too, is a mothers son, and
some anxious-hearted dame awaits his
coming in distant Spain. May her love
| and longing have no disappointment!

Peculiar Boycott.

Sulz, Swiss town in the canton of
Aargau, is suffering from a peculiar
boycott. The town recently dismissed
its school teacher, after so years serv-
ice, without giving him pension,
and advertised for a new teacher.
There were no applications for the
place, the Aargau Teachers League
having put the town on its black list
and declared that it would not re-
move the ban until the discharged
teacher received a pension. The town
decided to sue the teachers, but no
lawyer in the canton could be found
to take up the case. Other profess
sional men have also decided to have
nothing to do with Sulz.

The candidates for office of Wood
county, this state, both republicans
aud democrats, have signed an agrt G.
ment pledging themselving not TO do
any treating during the campaign.
Why is not this a movement which
should be patterned after by every
county in the state? The saloon has
been too expensive factor in politics
and the system of getting votes by
treating is demoraIizing. Some peo-
pie flock about candidates for office as
wolves do about prey. The thing
should be stopped. The expense of
running for office is such that a poor
man cannot atferd to make canvass.
The man who must be treated in order
to secure his vote should be disfran-
chised.
