Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1899-06-22

A farmer had several horses and one
donkey. The donkey was always the
ringleader in any piece of mischief.
Once the farmer fastened the, horses
in field next to one where there was
a fine crop of oats. The horses looked
over into the next field, and wished
they had some oats; but, as they could
not jump over the fence the oats were
safe.
But soon the farmer saw the horses
galloping about and trampling down
his oats. He could not imagine how
they had gotten in. He supposed
some mischievous boy had been play
ing trick on him. He drove them
out, aud shut the gate. But the
same thing happened three times.
Then he decided to catch the tricky
person, whoever he might be. So
early one morning he went out and
watched. Imagine his surprise when
he saw the donkey walk up to the
gate and pull out the pin, while the
horses stood looking on, ready to trot
in as soon as the gate swung open.
"Well," said the farmer, 81 always
thought donkeys were stupid; but 1
don't see anything stupid about that
little fellow. Humane Alliance.

A Bunch of VioIets.

She was a pretty woman and was
dressed handsomely. He was fine
looking man and was stylishly attired.
They were walking on Broad street,
near Chestnut, on the way to the
theatre when vender of violets, q
small boy, stepped up, calling out,
"Violets Violets Sweet double
violetsl' The man said ''yes," and
be and the woman stopped. The latter
entered faint objection to the pro-
posed expenditure, but her escort in
sisted, and took the bunch of flowers
held out by the lad and pressed them
into the woman's hand. "How much
Ten cents?" asked the man. ''No,
sir; twenty five," replied the lad.
ooh, I won't pay that" sharply re-
marked the man, as he snatched the
violets from the woman's dress, to
which they had already been pinned,
and thrust them into the hand of the
boy. Then the handsome couple
hurried off. "Well, dat's de cheapes,
guy ever 1 seed" said the dispenser
of the purple blossoms, before resum-
ing his cry Of "Violetsl Violets!
Sweet double violets! Philadelphia

made for the window. Hanson whA
had reached the door suddenly pulled
out pistol, and levelling it, fred,
and saw Goodwin fall. Then he turned
and fled down the stairs, for the fire
was spreading rapidly, muttering to
himself
In the morning when they search
the ruins, the box will be uninjured
and will pass into my possession.
But Charles Goodwin was not dead,
although badly wounded. With a
super human effort he reached the
window, and lifting the precious box,
put all his remaining strength into a
last effort and threw it far out of the
window into the river. 1t crashed
through the thin ice and imm ediately
| sank.
In those days the fire department
was different from what it now is. The
company reaching the scene first re-
celved bonus from the insurance
companies, consequently there was a
great rivalry between the various sta
tons. The man who brought the
alarm to the station received shilling.
When the first hose company arrived
at the fire, the house was almost de-
stroyed, and all that could be done
was to save neighboring property.
Next morning, the ruins were diligent.
ly searched by Hanson and others, but
although Goodwin's remains were
found, no trace of the iron box was
discovered. Goodwin's death was put
down to accident. Hanson was killed
soon after in drunken brawl.
Now let us skip forty one years. All
this time the iron box had lain on the
4 bottom of the st. Lawrence covered
with an ever-increasing layer of mud.
In 1892 dredge Number Four of the
Montreal harbor commissioners, was
dredging the channel opposite Jacques
Cartier square. The depth of the
channel was being increased from
twenty to thirtytwo feet. Suddenly
one of the men on the mud scow on
to which the earth, ct cetera, taken
up by the dredge was dumped, noticed
a rusty iron box. Nobody was look
ing, so, securing it, he slowed it away
inside the locker where he kept his
clothes. That night he took it home,
we'll wrapped up. There, the box was
opened, and on top lay the package
with a stamp on it, such as he had
never seen before.
This man was honest he was not
going to keep the money and papers il
the heirs of the rightful owner could
be found after these ma ny years. He
went to his lawyer, who after Ions
search, found the heirs. In his graft
tude at recovering the papers, which
really were valuable title deeds, he
presented the man with the package
on which was this rare twelve pence,
and with handsome cheque besides.
Through his lawyer, the man sold the
twelve pence t. Montreal philatelist,
for three hundred and fifty dollars,
and it now rests as the gem "par ex-
cellence" in a superb B. n. A. collec-
ton. And its present owner has good
reason to be proud of it, for few
stamps have such history. -

A Goat With n History.

A goat with history and a strange
one, TOBIAS just reached Ports
mouth, where London visitors will,
during the summer, be able to see it
browsing upon the eddish of the gun
wharf lawns.
The animal was picked up in South
Africa by the Seventh Hussars, and, as
it took kindly to a military life, the
men soon made great pet OF it. The
goat accompanied the regiment
throughout the whole of the Matabele
campaign. Several timesit was under
fire, but came out uniniured, as also
it did from various other adventures.
SO attached were the Hussars to
their pet that they brought it with
them when they returned to England,
taking great care to insure its safety
But when the transport Simla, in
which the Hussars were brought
home, reached Southampton, the regi
ment, much to their disgust, found
that they and their pet must be parted.
The board of agriculture would not
permit the goat to be landed alive, and
the Hussars were not willing to have
it killed
They tried all they knew to induce
the board to relent, but without sue
cess. Things began to look very bad
for the goat when LieutenantColonel
Stackpole, d. A. A. g., the officer
who had charge of the embarkation
arrangements, interested himself in
the animal The result of this was
that instead of the goat being killed
it was sent out to Bombay and back
in the Simla, which was making a
trooping voyage to that port.
When the Simla again reached
Southampton the goat was still under
a board OF agriculture ban, and it was
just on the eve of leaving for another
long sea trip when telegram giving
permission for it to be landed was re-
ceived from the department Lieu
tenant Colonel Stackpole at once had
it removed from the Simla to another
transport, where, much against its
will, the goat was housed for few
nights.
ue ubtluS COuCluolou W Wis SUI y
would, of course, have been that the
animal was allowed to rejoin its regi-
ment. But the board of agriculture
decreed against this. The goat had
to be taken from southampton to
Portsmouth in war department
steamship.
Colonel O'Callaghan, the chief ordi-
nance officer of the southern district,
had heard of the animals adventures,
and he at once offered it an asylum in
the gunwharf, But for this it is
doubtful whether the Hussars' goat
would not have ended its adventurous
history in the unromantic surroundings
of slaughter house. But the goat
has now been in its new quarters for
several days, and gives promise that
it will long occupy them. London

The frost played some tricks down
this way that are new even to the old
est inhabitant. To begin with, we
never had zero weather here before,
or, at least, no such weather has ever
been recorded. 1t was cold enough
to freeze the palms in the hothouses;
it killed the cacti, wilted the rose
bushes, froze all the water pipes, and
knocked the leaves off some of the
evergreens, such as the live oak. The
fall of dead leaves reminds one of au-
tumn in deciduous woods. Another
curiosity is that some forms of deli
cate glassware, having been frozen,
have become excessively fragile, break
ing all to pieces, no one touching
them. A housewife, finding her glass
goblets blowing up" in this remark
able fashion, saved the remnant of her
collection by bringing the glasses to
a boil in salted water and allowing
them to remain in the water until ii
became cold again. Mobile (Ala.

MY MooSEHEAD CANOE.

(More men have been drowned In Moose
head than in any other lake in New Eng

Keenly purrs the wind past the spruces of
Soc-at-e-an.
Swift ride the waves In the gloom of Kin
neho;
White flaunt the flags Of the foam a-flashing
giddily,
-Fleeting off beyond me like the tails OF
deer Arrow.
Dip down deep!
An, my beauty, you're a-leap,
And L calmly front the danger of the lake,
my love with you.
Wary, scary though you be,
See, loose you wild and FREQ,
In the welter of the waters for trust you,
my canoe.
White are the bones in the waters tossing
under me;
Pallid are the skeletons of hunters sucked
below,
Hear, from the waves bubble chokingly and
gruesomely
The bitter bitter murmurings OF those
who call you foe.
Dare think
That you brought them here to die?
That you drowned them in your malice
when they risked their souls with you?
Thatyou wantoned with the wave,
Fled and Knocked, and would
not saveY
All, tits false; I'll not believe it, for L trust
you, my canoe
Shrek, then, ye gale from the scrap of
rugged kinneho,
Nothing am daunted as l stroke this

Thin is the she'll, and clamorous the buffet
ing.
But bold is the breast Of the gull on which
/ ride.
Staunch my blade.
Rven ash. No knight arrayed
In the panoply Of conquest ever better
weapons bore.
Thrust and parry right and left!
Lo, the vast gray ranks are cleft,
And we scatheless surge to heaven on the
far Tom-he-gan shore.
