AN OLD SQUIRREL STORY, NEWLY
DREssED.-It wasn't many Saturdays
ago that a number of gentlemen stand
ing upon the street at Greensboro dis
cussed fox hunting, bird hunting and
kindred sports. Each one had told a
story, remarkable in a high degree,
when the climax was reached by one
of the gentlemen, who told the follow
ing story:
"Coons !" said he, with sneer.
"You don't know anything about
coons in this country. Why, you
ought to 60 to southwest Georgia. |
lived there once, and my favorite
pastime was coon hunting. Early one
morning l started out with my dogs
for a hunt. The morning was damp
and heavy, and we hadn't gone far
before the dogs struck a trail, and
away they went. How beautiful ii
was. Through the underbrush they
rushed, crashing, barking, the sounds
coming to US like low music on the
open air. 1t wasn't many minutes
before the long howl of the leading
dog told US that he had treed.
ave put out after them, going
through the swamps, and down into
a canebrake. There We come upon
the dogs all clustered about cypress
log. They smelled it, and then al
started back as if they didn't know
what was to pay. We drew near and
endeavored to urge them on. But
they wouldn't urge. We went up to
the log, and it seemed to be moving
I didn't know what to make of it.
The sides of it rose and fell as regular
as the beat of clock. We finally cut
into it and there it was packed with
coons. We killed 140 and 1 don'l
know how many got away"
"What made the log move?" limo
Gently asked bystander.
"Oh, plain as day. The coons were
packed so close that every time they
breathed the log would expand"
There was a CHASTITY silence and the
crowd moved away.
"It wasn't a good day for coons
either !" he yelled after them, and put
ting a fresh chew of tobacco in his
mouth he walked rapidly in the direc
ton of the "Cotton Bourse" on Wal
street, and in a moment more was
buying the fieecy staple with serene
and unmoved countenance.-Greens

R@ An eminent citizen of Detroit
called upon an eminent physician the
other day to consult him about his eyes.
"They seemed all right up to three
or four days ago." said the eminent
citizen, "but then l noticed that the
left eye was failing.
"Do you wear glasses ?" asked the
physician.
"Oh, yes"
"Let me see them ?"
They were passed over, and after a
brief inspection the physician broke
into hearty laugh.
"The trouble is with the left eye,
eh ?" he queried.
ayes, sir" ..
"No wonder. Look at your glasses. !"
The lefthand glass had been lost out.

sibilities in connection with the dispen-
sary, 1 submit that justice and fairness
make it necessary either to relieve the
governor absolutely of all connection
with this institution, or else give him
some potential voice and influence in
its affairs.
The legislature itself, last session, by
a particularly unanimous resolution,
deprecated and almost forbade the
granting of beer and hotel privileges ;
but the state board of control paid no
attention to this expression of opinion
from the law-making body, and l had
to use the constabulary to suppress the
nuisances in form of open barrooms,
which resulted from the granting OF
these privileges. This brought me into
antagonism with the state board OF
control-an antagonism which might
have been avoided had these gentle
men paid any heed to my suggestion
or consulted me as to the best policy
to be pursued. AS long as the original
package stores were running in open
competitian with the dispensary, and
illicit sales were also unchecked, there
was, perhaps, some excuse for the state
board of control to continue that poll
cy; but after the supreme court of the
United States had confirmed the vail
dity of the dispensary law, and for.
hidden Judge Simonton's support OF
the states competitors, leaving the
dispensary law in full possession of the
field, did not think there was any
excuse for the continuance of the
policy upheld by the state board for l

the present law, should be administered

 latter was recalled for proclaiming a
 protectorate. was joined by the British
 consul in a declaration that their gov
 ernments would not recognize Tam
 asese. The Germans thereupon cap
 tured Mahetoa and sent him a pris-
 oner to Hamburg. The Germans de
 clared martial law. Sewall still re- fused to recognize Tamasese, but the
 British, in spite of pledges to the con-
 trary, finally resumed diplomatic re-
 lations with the Samoan government
 The action of the Germans made il desirable for the United States to have the diplomatic understanding at.ested in a solemn treaty. Accordingly conference of the three powers was held in Washington in 1887. Grea. Britain had entered into a secret bar gain to give Germany free hand ill Samoa. When il became evident that the British minister had been in- structed to support the German scheme, Secretary Bayard broke off the negotiations.
 The Germans now assumed com plete authority in Ap-a American goods were not allowed to land ex- cept under onerous conditions, the English newspaper was suppressed, fire arms confscated and several Americans roughly handled.
 These stirring events led to fresh correspondence between the United States and Germany. The frmness of the former caused the British author ities to check the high-handed pro 2eedings at Ap;a. which could only lead to German annexation. Cnnsul Knappe and Vice Consul Brandelis; the latter the most aggressive and | offensive of the whole line of German representative Steinberger excepted. | were recalled, while Consul SewaI l was ordered not to return to Samoa.
 At the proposal of Bismarck it was decided to reopen in Berlin the con- ference that was suspended in Wash ington two years previous. All the acts against which America and Brit ish consuls had protested were con demned by Bismarck, and Consul Knappe was recalled.
 When Admiral Kimberly and our American squadron arrived at Apia in March, 1889, he advised both Mata2fa and Tamasese to await the decision of the conference. Four days later oc- cured the hurricane which destroyed or disabled all the American and Ger man warships in the harbor, the de- tails of which are still so vividly re- called by Americans that they need not be given here.
 The Berlin conference met soon qfterward and guaranteed the inde- and neutrality Of the isl ands under tripartite Agreement that rested the three rival nations with equal powers at Apia. Malietoa was brought back and restored as king. out Mataafa did not acquiesce in this
