Unexpeeted Testimony.

A farmer had an old horse that he
wanted TO sell, so, having doctored
it up to make it appear as young as
possible, he soon found purchaser.
The latter before taking away the
horse told the farmer that he should
like to ask the carter a question or
two. Imagine the surprise Of both
buyer and seller when that worthy,
IN reply to a question as to the quail
ties Of the horse, blurted out:
"Why, master, I've Rnowed this
boss for 20 years, and I've never
knowed I'M kick or bite Pear

There was once discussion about
federation at Huxley's dinner table.
He said to Professor Mivart:
"Oh, you must not appeal to me
to support liberation as principlel"
"Indeed2" said l.
No." he continued. II think vice
and error ought to be extirpated by
force if it could be done"
"You amaze me-" I rejoined.
"Then you reha bilitate Torquemada
and some others we have AL been
accustomed to blame.'
II think" he answered, they
were quite right in principle, though
the way they carried the principle
out was injurious to their cause. y

Some of our bayfield, base ball en-
thusiasts went to Hayward Sunday,
and took some of their players along
to help the Hayward boys play ball.
Then they went looking for takers
for bets. They found them ana to
the sorrow of the Fish Eaters they

The Chequamegon Critic grows
sarcastic in it's last issue and
accuses Washburn girls of wearing
sheets of sand paper on their ankles
which, on rubbing together give a
rustic resembling that of silk
skirts. This is very cruel pun, as
it is meant to insinuate that Wash
burn girls don't wear the real silk
article. It is notorious fact how
ever that the silk garments worn by
Ashland ladies are man ufactured in
Washburn. But since the Critic is
Inclined to give dainty secrets away
it is no more than a just defense TO
tell a little story we heard on the
Ashland girls. An Ashland gentle
man and his wife were
engaged in reading the papers
few evenings since, when the wife
looked up and said:
"Why John. did you see this in
the paper about that young lady in
Milwaukee whose hair was caught
in an electric fan while drying it,
and she was scalped and killed?'
John: "Well that is too bad, but
it never could have happened to an
Ashland girl. =
Wife: "How is that?"
John: "Why an Ashland girls
hair would simply have come un-
pinned"

Putney organized a company for the

into lots and streets. Four OF these

chased nifty acres outside of the town.
BrlSht paid the purchase money, and
received deeds thereto. which were re-
corded. but alleged that Putney de-
layed putting him in possession, and
was cultivating Il portion of the land
thus sold him. and was cultivating also
some or the streets marked out on the
map of the town. 1t seems that Bright
was the only person who purchased

answer, Putney offers payment for this

can now take possession, whenever he

THESE facts. we think, were not sufi-
