Liehtning.s Strange Freeks.

There was a remarkable occurrence
from lightning at Londonderry. Tues
day afternoon. DR.. B. f. MillingtOn
had started out from the south village
TO see a patient at Weston. He had
gone about half a mile from the vii
lage on the hill road-abOut a mile and
Il half from the point where Mr.. Jenne
was killed by similar accident two
years ago-and he saw the lightning
seemingly running along the telephone
wire, the same mountain line from
which Mr.. Jenne got his death stroke.
That is the last he remembers. When
he recovered consciousness his horse
was standing by the side Of the wag.
on, both shafts were broken and the
harness completely stripped of except
the saddle.
The horse seemed none the worse fol
the encounter, and Millington himself
after rigging up, continued his journey
to Weston, and not only called on his
patient. but several others.

TIE lightning struck 4 pasture neld and
dug 4 trench varying from feet to

SETTLED FOR THE DRESS.

No Claim Was Made by the Farmer 70.
HE Wife's Broken Limbo.
Just settled the strangest claim for
damages that ever had" laughed the
raiiroad claim agent. II was called
down the road the other day to look up
IN accident that we had. We had run
nto an o.d farmers wife, breaking both
81 her legs and an arm and using her
up generally. l received orders from
tie general manager to go post haste
to the point Of the accident and settle
for it on the best terms l could get.
Just before l left the manager hand
ed me a letter and said with a smile
that l had better look into that, too,
while 1 was about it, as 1t would not
/ take me out Of my way. When l was
settled for the journey took the letter
out Of my pocket and looked It over.
1t was a claim for five yards Of calico.
which the threat that II we didn't settle
for 1t Immediately suit would be COM
menced to compel US to. The claim was
I very vague. no reason being given why
we should pay for five yards Of calico.
and I resolved to look the matter up to
satisfy my own curiosity II nothing else.
However, the other case was more
serious, SO 1 looked that up first. and as
l entered the house the old man, whose
/ wife had been nearly killed, said
grimly:
i" so you're here ter settle that thar
claim fer damages? Wul. 1t is mighty
lucky that ye have come, for l waz
go;n' ter start suit again ye right away.
My wife hadn't worn that thar dress
more'n twice an 1t waz jes' ez good ez
new
Like a fash 1t dawned upon me that
the two claims were Identical manag-
ed to settle with the old man without
falling dead, and when left he shook
hands with me cordially and said that
he guessed all this talk about robber
railroads was mostly newspaper gas for
political effect"-Detroit Free Press.

The day is too warm for hide-and-coop.
For blindSlan's buff or Il spy"
So into the hammock we all three troop,
The baby and Ted and l.
It's a sailors hammock. at first we play,
And three jolly tars are We,
And the Queerest yarns we spin all day
OF shipwreck and storm Mt sea.
And then it's a papoose cradle hung
In a forest dark and high,
And our mother sings in the Indian
tongue
A strange, wild lullaby.
And then it's a light little fairy boat,
That is rocking from side to side
On the little waves that round it aoat
And the clear and crystal tide.
And then tits a nest, an orioles nest,
That swings in q leafy tree
When the wind blows east or the wind
blows west,
And three little birds are we.
And then it's big balloon that rides
On the great wide, empty air.
And we peer below as it safely gl,des
Over hills and rivers fair.
But no matter bow far away we fly
In our udppy, uEedHy pay
Up, up through the big blue summer sky
Where the white clouds softly stray,
Yet down without harm, and as swift as
thought,
From our loftiest wanderings
Jumps each little hungry aeronaut
The minute the tea bell rings.

rhe last act was a court scene in which

ID to penal servitude for life. Mayor
richardson was the Judge and Mr..
stroup was counsel for the defense.
The house was crowded, and as was
usual, the nearby country had sent In

families. The lawyer made a stirring

The audience.

venile Members Of Every Household
Quaint Actions and Bright Sayings
Of Many Cute and Cunning Children.
Margaret, Joe. Kenneth and Patty
live In the country. They haven't many
playthings, but lots and lots Of plays.
Making believe" is great fun for them.
and they make believe" so much and
SO hard. they really do believe in most
Of their plays.
One Of their finest plays is the Dab.
min and Durmin play. This can be
played all day. or only part Of the time,
but Kenneth and Patty and Joe are
Dahmins all the time. They say the
boys are Dahmins and the girl Dur
min.
Margaret says mamma is queen OF
the Durmins, but Patty says. mo, she's
Jack Beans wife. and Jack Bean Is
king Of the Dahmins." Mamma is very
proud of this honor. for she knows well
what a fine man Jack Bean Is. He Is
the boys hero, and Kenneth says he
owns a gold boat and a gold engine,
1t Is ben-sen that makes him so
strong Ben-sen Is something wonder
full. You can take an iron rope as big
around as the water-tOwer and 1t isn't
as strong as a thread Of ben-sen. Jack
Bean eats grain of ben-sen every
morning, and that's what makes him
so strong, Kenneth says. All the boys
say he is the best man In the world
'''cept papa"
Sometimes papa says there is no such
man as Jack Bean. and oh. how the
children punish him! They climb all
over him, take off his glasses, rumpls
his hair, and say he can never, never
be Dahmin any more. Papa is glad
enough to give in before such deter
mined foes. and promises to believe In
Jack Bean as long as he lives.
Patty and Kenneth have what they
call "Dahmin dinner" and that means
to save your cake and fruit from des
sert, and all the licorice and candy
balls you can get with the pennies you
earn going errands and carrying coal
for grandma's fire. Then you take
these good things Drown sugar sand
wiches are fine for Dahmin dinners)
and set a nice little table and eat your
Dahmin dinner, and talk with a big
voice like a workingman.
Dahmin men are brave. One day
mamma told Kenneth. who Is Z. to go
IN an errand. He was having a beau
tlful time on Jack Beans gold boat
made Of dining-rOom chairs). and he
didn't want to go. But Patty, who is
5, said, Go on, Ken, and don't cry.
Dahmin mans don't cry"
The Dahmins have more fun than
the Durmins because there are more
Of them; but when Margaret invites
have a Dahmin and Durmin war, then
it Is exciting. They make their cannon
out of drain-pipe and build forts out
of boxes In summer and snow In win
ter, and have as big war as Spain
and America!
But alas! mamma is no longer Jack
Beans wife and queen of the Dahmins.
Two little boys were naughty and had
to be punished. AS they sat in chairs
on each side Of the dining-room till
they could promise to be good, Patty
exclaimed. with the tears running
down his cheeks: Mamma can't be
the queen, for she has degraced the
Dahminsv'
But mamma loves the Dahmins and
Durmins, and spends many a happy
hour watching their happy play, and
when she kisses the little boys at night
she hopes they may grow up as good
men as their heroes-real and make be-
ueve.-Youth's Companion.
