onion sprees In bern.

An annual "zwiebel Market" or
onion market is held in Bern and once
year the peasants come from far and
near to purchase stock of onions for
the twelvemonth, and, in fact, it has
grown to be a custom OH zwiebel mar
ket day for everybody, rich and poor, to
buy onions; if not for use then for the
custom of the thing.
On Saturday night the onions ar
rive. Great boxes, baskets and barrels
of onions line one side Of the longest
main street of the city, from the station
directly through the long arcaded ave-
nue. as far as the arcades extend--about
a mile. All day Sunday the onions re-
main in the street, covered with cloths
of every description. ana early Monday
morning the sale begins. For two days
every one you meet has at least string
of onions, and one walks the entire
length of the market and weeps.
A few days later come the dances.
Every saloon and hall is decorated, and
the young peasants, girls and lads, come
to town and make merry. Every "wirt-
schaft" is crowded with pushing,
jostling throny Of plump and rudy
faced peasants, drinking, dancing and
"hiring out" There are no brawls,
only perhaps parties Of merry pumpkins
walking through the streets at l and 2
o'clock in the morning and yodeling,
without melody. at the top Of their

A sleepy Deputy.

Under former administration the
United States marshal Of western Penn
sylvania sent warrant to one of his
deputies, who was stationed in back
county, for the arrest Of a counterfeit
er. The deputy knew the man and
treated him considerably. When they
reached Pittsburg. the necessary papers
were not ut hand to commit the prison
er to Jail The deputy would not take
him to hotel, because he would have
to pay the bill out of his own pocket.
So he took him to the marshals Office
70 pass the night there. The deputy
was sleepy and the counterfeiter said he
was. So the deputy handcuffed his pris-
oner to himself and lay down on the
floor beside the steam register. AS soon
as the deputy was asleep the counter
feiter took his keys from his pocket.
unlocked the manacle and fastered the
loose end to the register. Then he took
the deputy's watch and what money he
had and departed.
"Where is your prisoner asked the
marshal the next morning, awakening
the deputy.
"Doesn' t that beat allf" he replied
as he tugged at his handcuff and bruised
his wrist. ''Darned if l don't believe
he's 81 me the slip. '-Pittsburg News.

Judging q Mules Speed.

"When was young man." qu~th
Officer Fayette Jones, 'from stand
point of years, used to trade mules oc-
casionally. One day l had dispute
with man to whom had sold an ami
NAL about its speed. We were unable to
agree between ourselves, so we called
in an old codger who talked with a
drawl and used almost az much tobacco
az he raised We stated the question
to him, Which is the faster Of the
mules! He asked to be taken to the
stable and stood there watching the
mules eat. He chawed and looked and
looked and chawed. We wondered what
he could tell about their speed simply
by looking at them, but finally he
pointed ont the mule had sold and
said, That air the fastest of them
mules.
How do you know1' We asked in
one breath.
." Well he replied, that FOUNDER
one takes two chaws to Others one an
ef one mule chaws faster than t'other
it's natural that he's faster critter.

forgotten, and now whenever l want
to know the relative speed of horses
or mules judge EN- by the way they

A man who writes theatrical gossip
