LONE LEMON.

New FORK Evening SUM-: The girls
themselves kept very quiet about this.
They belonged to the graduating class of
a certain preparatory school,. To meet
the class expenses, the members deter
mined to give an entertainment before
commencement week. to which all the
other students might come and bring
their friends, and. incidentally, pay an
admittance fee. To make the more money
a lemonade stand was put in operation,
and the two girls who had charge of it
were expected to reap a large harvest for
their class from the sale of the cooling
drink. Carefully tucked away under the
ia BILE they had the reserve supply of lem
onade, and while one of them saw to it
that the glasses were washed out and
that the pitcher on the table was kept
filled, the other sold the lemonade and
took charge of the money. But the first
one was called away for a time, and that
left the other girl in charge of the whole
affair. She began to feel hurt when she
overheard different persons saying that
that was very weak lemonade, and to re-
vive the old jocular remark about the
one lemon that may nave been used. But
a bystander understood it all when girl

imperialistic question, which Mr.. Bryan
seems so anxious to make the leading
issue of the next campaign. He thinks
the unpatriotic course pursued by the
democrats relative to the war in the
Philippines will snow that party under

his opinion it is the function of the

QUEER WELL.

Washington Star: II had an odd ex-
perience in the North Carolina mountains
once when 1 Was down there land pros
pecting," remarked the real estate dealer
in storytelling mood. II was in that part
of the state where they make moonshine
and apple brandy, and one day l stopped
at a house among the rocks and cliffs for
my dinner. The man was we'll to do, and
l had a letter to him from a brother Of his
l had bought a big tract of and from. so
l was above suspicion. l was dead tired
when l reached his place, n having ex-
hausted my supply of energizer, l asked
him if he had anything around the house.
He said he could give me a drink of
moonshine If l like it., and though l did
not, it was better than nothing. He Went
to the cupboard, but the demijohn was
bare, and l was disappointed, but he
smiled and told me to come with him, and
he would show me something that might
interest me. I went with him into the
back yard, where there was a great fiat
stone so feet square, just high enough
above the level to I've all the soil washed
off it, and in the center. of it was a two
inch hole with a plug in it. He called to
his wife to bring out the pump and he
drew the plug from the hole. The pump
was one of these small ones used in oil
barrels, and had about Is feet of pipe to
it, in three joints. He put these together
tightly, stuck the end down the hole and
began pumping. In a minute the peculiar
dor of moonshine was quite perceptible,
and in another there was a line stream
running into the demijohn, which he had
placed under the spout.
"Well, l was rendered speechless by the
operation. and when ne told me that there
was a well of it down there, l had to be-
lieve him, and at once began to decker for
the property. He insisted OF my staying
over night. but he wouldn't talk about
selling. l stayed with him till next day,
and then he told me he had something
else to show me, and took me around
down under the mountain about half a
mile to the mouth of a cave, and piloted
me back into it. where I found a brandy
and moonshine still, and under a hole in
the rock overhead I saw a barrel Of white
liquor very much like that which he
pumped the day before. He didn't say
anything to jolly me, but 1 made a few
remarks about the kline of a sucker l was,
and presented his wife with the best al
paca dress that could be bought in the
crossroads store where they did their
trading"

OCTOPUS ATTACKS A MONSTER
SUNFISH.

San Francisco Call: Never before has
1t fell to my lot to witness the terrible
monster we encountered on the last pass
age from San Francisco toward Nanaimo
in the bark Winscott, of Honolulu.
We knew that the octopus grew to an
immense size, as Banks and Solander,
who accompanied Captain Cook in his
first voyage around the world, found a
dead carcass of one floating on the water
supposed to be 20 by 30 feet, the body
only; the tentacles were hanging under
water. 1t was surrounded by myriads of
birds, which were feeding grandly on it's
remains.
Pliny also mentions a similar Monster
having eight arms, 30 feet long and a cor
responding girth; and many other writer's
too numerous to mention, have certified
to it's actual existence.
But 1 did not believe that anything sim

by Victor Hugo was really in existence

fact on this passage.
