Tales of the Town and County.

One of the most laughable jokes
ever perpetrated was pulled off oy q
restaurant keeper at GAINESVILLE one
night recently. Two Young men had
been out on drunk, and along
toward morning they went in the res
taurant, pretty full, to get something
to eat. They got up on stools in
front of the counter, and before the
waiter could take their orders, both
men laid their heads down on their
arms and went to sleep. The proprie-
tor came in and took III the situation,
and placed two empty bowls in front
Of them, soiled as though they had
contained oyster stews, and then he
woke up the young men and told
them they had better pay for the
stews they had eaten and go home as
he wished to close up the place.
Each of the sleepy men looked at the
empty bowl, looked at each other,
tried to think, finally paid for stew
apiece, and Went out into the open
il4 anu olttS 9CICu u4OiS loN"A u AOAiO'
Finally one said to The other, "Strange
l can't remember eating that stew"
The other, who wanted to appear
sober, said he remembered of their
eating the stews. and that he had re-
marked, at the time that lie never
had any hing taste SO good in his life.
They got home, thinking pretty hard,
each wondering if the other was not
awfully drunk, and the next day an
other surprise came to them, for the
restaurant man offered them their
money back, assuring them that they
didn't do thing but go to sleep on
she counter Then they were mad
and indignant, swore they ate an
oyster stew, and remembered it per
fectly, and refused to take the money
back. AS it stands now, somebody
was deceived, and there is a good deal
of fun with the boys.

South Dakota has now established
a precedent that every state in the
Union might do well to follow. Each
year has seen game laws enacted III
the different states, only to be most
fagrantly violated on all sides, and
ever with tendency toward leniency
for those unscrupulour people who
evidently imagine that game laws are
only made to be broken. The game
laws of Wisconsin have always been
source of amusement to those for
whom they were passed, for every
pot hunter felt perfectly safe in treat
ing them as joke. Wisconsin is
large state, and the few game war
dens, no matter how much in earnest
they may be in their work, cannot
cover all the territory, and while
they are looking after the interests OF
one section. the others are suffering
at the han Is of 1.-the man with the
gun" As for upland shooting, every
covey of cartridges and chickens is
marked down long before the law is
off, and few days prior to the date
it is safe to predict that every last
bird will be cleaned up, and the
sportsman who has the decency to
wait the allotted time might just as
well stay at home. Once in while
hunter is arrested for violation Of the
law, but by the time that he has lied
up good argument for his own side,
with the help of witnesses who are
usually pretty good all-around liars
themselves, about the worst he gets
is small fine and costs. In the
meantime, the pot hunter is having
all sorts offs port on all sides, and Is
perfectly willing to take the risk of
being caught, knowing that the
chances are about 80 to that he viii

printers made bad mistake in an
nouncing the event, setting it up
Tuesday instead of Monday. The
fact that Mr.. Edge would talk on
campaign issues after election instead
OF the evening previous to the battle
OF ballots caused all manner of fun
but the speaker failed to see the funny
side OF the matter and was quite warm
under tie collar, believing it to be a

A spirit of rivalry exists at Mont
fort between two local political fac
tions in Republican circles. There's
the Johnson crowd headed by j. b.
Johnson and the Chandler following
lead by j. p Chandler. The two
but it was a good one that Mr.. John
son played on his opponents the other
day when LaFollette came through
Montfort on his special train. The
newly chosen governor was billed to
speak at the village and it was made
up on part of the Chandler forces that
their leader should introduce the
speaker to the assem- bled multitude.
Mr.. Johnson was ignored in the plans
and made little plan of his own by
which the program was all broken up.
The special pulled in on schedule
time, but stopped short distance
down the track for the engine to coal
up. While this was in progress Mr..
johnson goes along down the track
to the coach containing Mr.. La Fol
lette, is recognized and cordially
greeted and when the train pulls up
to the depot he leads the governor
out to the rear platform of the car
and in neat speech introduces him
to the crowd Mr.. Chandler as the
train came to a stop hastens to the
rear 10 do his part but the iron rail
ing and gates were unsurmountable
and before he could Chamber up his
neighbor was going through with the
pleasant duty that had been assigned

During the year 1899, Ameri-
can railroads we're more active in
building than in any year since
1890. A total of 4,500.1O, miles
OF new track were laid. In the
mean time there was great de-
crease in the number of roads
going into receiverships. The
long dark era of railroad bank
ruptcies, which eliminated in
1893, when "A companies, with
nearly 10000 miles of lines, were
handed over to receivers, has
ended, and the new era starts with
the railways Of the United States
in solvent and hopeful condit-
ion. The receiverships for 1899
cover only 1,ol0 miles, or a little
over one-half of one per cent of
the present mileage. There was
also large reduction in the rec
ord of foreclosure sales.

G. M. BRAXTAN, Proprietor.
Future of the Boer Country.

The Orange Free State being
now almost completely in control
of the British forces, it is announ-
ced that proclamation will at
once be issued annexing it to the
British empire. Thus one of the
republics will be etfaced from the
map as an independent state and
become a crown colony. The
other will folloy the same way as
soon as the forces of Roberts have
overrun it, as they possibly will
have done within the next three
months, if not sooner. 1t will be
useless for the Transvaal govern
ment to sue for peace in the hope
of retaining independence. Mr..
Chamberlain has in effect said so,
and he is the controlling force in
the British cabinet.
What will be the policy Of the
British government toward the
Beers when the overthrow of the
republics has been accomplished?
Prof. Goodwin Smith says the
liberal party of England can be
depended upon to put a veto on
anything like a policy of ven
geance and he thinks that the
tierceness of the war party itself
will abate as soon as the war is
over. He therefore believes that
there is fair pospect of tolcr-
able and not ungenerous settle
ment.
Probably this is somewhat too
optimistic view. 1t would GER
tainly be the part of wisdom for
the British government to show
some magnanimity to the con-
quered Beers, but this is hardly
to be expected if Chamberlain
Car have his way. A policy of
stern repression will most likely
be pursued, at least SO long as the
present ministry is in power

he preferred to take this action
rather than remain and be kicked
out later on.
