The MORAL OF THE TALE.-1n q
little southern town, where the least
happening was of a vital importance
and lengthy conversation, worthless
citizen entered store during the pro-
prietor's absence, and distracted his
entire cash capital, done up in two
canvass shot-pouches. The robbery
was soon detected and the robbel
found. He made full confession, de-
livered up the money, something over
a hundred dollars, and was dragged tc
the county Jail, several miles away.
The incident, however, furnished
conversation for the entire community
and the daring robbery was discussed
on all sides. The news came to 8
country house, and was retailed al
length to the family in the presence O.
a small Ethiop, who acted as sub-but
ler and choreboy. After the capture
and Imprisonment of the offender hao
been related, the mistress, wishing te
point the moral to the miniature dark
ey, remarked:
"Well, that is what comes of steal
ing. Isn't it terrible, Jennings ?"

Some Early History of These Interesting

Some Early History of These Interesting
Islands.
From the Brazilian Bulletin.
We who see Portugal in the period
of her decay and almost total eclipse,
cannot understand how so small ma
tion, occupying so Insignificant por,
ton of Europe-''only veranda," as
one of her writer's has said should cut
so important a figure in the worlds
history as she did in tina Fifteenth and
Sixteenth centuries.
Early in the Eleventh century Prince
Henry, "the Navigator" of Portugal,
obtained from Pope Eugenius " d
bull which gave to Portugal, all dis
coveries between Cape Hun, in Moroc-
co, and India. In 1872 St. Thomas,
Annobon and Princes Islands were
added. When the equator was passed
ed and Fernando Po gave his name to
an island in the Blight of Biefra, he
seized 500 leagues* of the African
coast and the king of Portugal took
the title of Lord of Guinea"
Very early in the days of discovery
and conquest, toward the end of the
Fifteenth century, the most Catholic
sovereigns of Spain, Ferdinand and
Isabella, and his equally Catholic Ma
iesty, John II, of Portugal, fell out
about the ownership of the land yet to
he discovered.
Like faithful children of the church,
thew referred the whole matter to the
Holy Father at Rome, Pope Alexander

knot by giving them the earth and set

PATsY's ADVICE TO BARNEY.-ln
addition to being cross-eyed, Barney
O'Day has tilted chin sprinkled with
wiry red beard, cavernous mouth
overhung by huge pug nose, and
sallow complexion. But he seems to
be- happily unconscious of all his de-
fects except cross-eyes, in regard to
which he is painfully sensitive.
Recently a noted occulist came to
town, advertising among other things,
to straighten crosseyes, and Barney de-
cided to be treated. Meeting his par
ticular friend, he exclaimed:
"Och, Patsy Ohm thinkin' O. haviD

"Sthraighten yer eyes, Barney

"Never bit daft am Oi, Patsy, but

claimed:
"Arrah! Barney, that ould front O

TROUBLE OF GENIUs.-"Some
men that have average or more than
average intelligence in certain direc-
tions seem to lack even the protection
of instinct in other directions. You've
heard the old story of the man who
got on the wrong side of the saw while
trimming a tree and never realized his
error till he had dropped 20 feet to the
ground? Well, sir, have a true incl
dent to match it,"
"Go ahead" was urged upon the
philosopher, who is one of Detroit's
big ice dealers.
"a chap came to me early in the
season and wanted me to invest in an
ice.cutting machine he had invented.
He tried to tell me all about it; but l
simply told him to get his machine out
on the ice and put it to work as soon
as we commenced operations. If it
would do what he claimed for it, we
would have no difficulty in coming to
terms. I happened to be on the field
the morning of his appearance, but
was too busy experimenting affairs to
give him or his device any special at
tention.
"Suddenly there was great yelling,
sputtering and calling for help. We
fshed my inventive friend out of the
water, half drowned and half frozen.
His machine had started, under the
ice, for a journey toward Niagara
Falls"
"How did the thing happen p"
"Nothing accidental about it. The
machine was made to cut circular
pieces of ice. The whole trouble with
the thing was that the genius and his
machine had to stand in the centre of
the fated circle while working"

THIS is the season during which the
Il the people of this section generally
make selection of the newspaper they ex-
pect TO read during the following year.
There are large number of people who
now include THE ENQUIRER on their
lists, and who expect to continue it there.
There are many others who are not now
subscribing for the THE ENQUIRER; /;
but who would like to have it.
We want THE ENQUIRER to 60 as
TWICE-A-WEEKv visitor to every home
in York county. With the assistance OF
intelligent and trustworthy friends in the
different localities, we know it can be
gotten into many homes to which it is not
now going. This assistance is Of much
value to US, and it is our purpose to pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of certain subscriber
last year is no reason why why he should
have any claim upon that subscriber this
year. Because one individual may al
ready be at work in given neighbor-
hood, is no reason why another should
not also canvass in that neighborhood.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub
scribers whenever and wherever he or
she may be able to get them, and upon
compliance with the conditions herein
stated, have them counted.
Our plan of compensation to clubmak-
ers this year is on the same line as here
tofore-a competition for TWO LEAD
ING PREMIUMS to be awarded for the
TWO LARGEST clubs, and third lead
ing premium for the largest CLUB OF
NEW SUBSCRIBERS. After that the
value of the premium is in proportion to
the number of names returned.

days ago Prof. H. L. Russell, bacterl-
ologist at the university, tested Mr.
Thompsons herd OF 10 cattle with

nesday badly affected with the disease
A postmortem examination showed
that the disease in each animal had
reached an advance stage. The nerd
contracted the malady from an animal
that was purchased by Mr.. Thompson
some time ago and allowed to run with
the cattle just killed only six months.
This diseased animal was sold to q
butcher who of course discovered its
condition after slaughtering it. Mi.
Thompson returned to the butcher half
of the money paid for the animal.
Mr.. Thompson will receive from the
state $40 apiece for his cattle killed.
The appraisers were Jacob Van Eta,
NJ. L. Nelson and Edward Fess, all or
Madison. They decided the slaugh-
tered animals were worth $50 apiece.
The law provides that the secretary
of state shall pay the owner two
thirds of the appraised valuation OF
the stock killed. The hides were saved
and the carcasses buried.
DR.. Clute was assisted by Prof. Rus

Crossing War at GAINESVILLE Declared
Off-WrecKage Cleared Away.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, May 23.-Trouble
in this city between the Chicago e
Northwestern and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroads, which
has been carried on for the past week
over the right Of way for sidetrack
possession, has been settled in a way
that does away with all Warlike ap-
pearances here. Attorney A. A. Jack
son of the Milwaukee road has received
a message from Supt. H. B. Earring Of
Milwaukee notifying him to have all
Milwaukee road engine crews and sec
ton crews that have been on constant
guard here for week past, to at once
leave the scene of trouble and return
to work. Supt. Earring says that the
officials came to an understanding that
under no circumstances would either
road take advantage of the other with
out first having the matter settled in
a private way or through the courts.
Wrecking crews on both roads are now
clearing up the debris, which consists
mostly of box-cars thrown off the
tracks by the Milwaukee road to block
progress of Northwestern track layers.
