the occupants of the back benches

His Awful Finish.

He went to cross the boulevard
When something fouled his heel;
He backed himself just half yard
And grazed a biker's wheel.
He heard a mighty warning shout,
He tried to clear the track,
A run, a leap, wheel about,
Just missed a horseless hack.
He hears a yell and starts to flee,
But stops and calmly waits;
A whoop, a fall, he failed to see
The kid on roller skates.

An Episode of War.

Commodore Samuel Tucker, who lies
buried in a neglected grave in his native
town of Bremen, fought in both the Rev
Olution and the war of 1872.
In the latter war he defeated an English
battleship when so years of age.
Daring hostilities between America and
England on one occasion he was lust
about sailing on his ship out of Camden
for Boston when a yelled lady appeared
on the wharf and asked the commodore to
take the dead body of her husband, which
she had in cart near by, to Boston tor
burial and herself as passenger.
The sympathy of the brave commodore
was won and his interest aroused, so that
he gave the desired permission, assigning
the lady to a stateroom in the cabin and
SLOWING the coffin between decks. Then
the ship sailed out OF Camden on her v0y-
age.
That night, however, the commodore
grew suspicious and with one of his Of
hcers went below to have look at the
dead man IN the coffin. The lid was care
fully lifted and therein was discovered -
not Il corpse but live man, a captain in
King Georges navy, soundly sleeping
with sword and pistols by his side. The
off er was quickly ironed and his weapons
removed, after which his weeping ''wid
ow' was sought in her sta Groom. The
widow proved to be the British command
er's lieutenant and he was also put in
irons.
The plan of the English officers had
been to capture the sloop of war from the
innocent commodore and run her into
Halifax, prize Bath Independent.

Unfortunate in Love.

AUBURN, Me-, Feb. IA. A dispatch re-
ceived here to day from Los Angeles con-
tains the information that Mrs. Louise
Dingley Hadley of that city, formerly of
Auburn, has brought a suit against her
husband, William E. Hadley, proprietor
of hotel at San Diego, for divorce, the
grounds alleged being cruelty, the use of
abusive language and serious infringe
ments upon her rights.
The libellant is daughter of the late
jeremiah Dingley of Auburn and cousin
of the late Congressman Dingley of Lew
iston.
She acquired some notoriety about
three years ago as the defendant in a
breach of promise suit brought by Arthur
5. Melcher of Auburn and tried in the
supreme court of this county, resulting in
the recovery of nearly 81 600 from her, in
Guiding the costs.
Ii was TO marry Mr. Hadley, from whom
F. she now seeks a separation, that she Tilted
Nj. Melcher. Mr.. Dingley, her father,
died year or two ago, leaving fortune
of several hundred thousand dollars. He
left this in trust, however, 50 that his
daughter receives but little of it in her
own control
1t Was reported at the time of the Mel
cher Hadley breach of promise suit that
Mr.. and Mrs. Hadley did not live happily,
and that Mrs. Hadley had left him and
come East. S e is alleged to have told
her friends many stories of bis cruelty
toward her After her fathers death,
however, there was reconciliation and
Mr.. Hadley spent several months here
with his wife and they afterwards returned
to California together.

Ducats In Ducks.

The Maine farm that was SO poor it could
not produce enough to pay the interest on
the mortgage blister that was on it, has,
by raising ducks, been made to nav TO,
smuggling the house, buy a new pump and
$40 w melodion for the pet daughter.
The essentials to duck raising are a
mock OF adult ducks, a dry area of land
with fence around it, and credit enough
at the local stores to buy grain until the
green ducks are fit TO kill An iucubato,
that can turn out 500 or 400 young ducks
every tour weeks is also handy accessory.
because the brooding mother ducks are
easily broken up from setting and will at
once begin TO lay new eggs, il the in,u
batur can be trusted to ripen this earlv
crop.
No accurate figures can be obtained on
the size of the duck industry in Maine.
though more than 100, 600 green ducks are
sent to market every year. Water. which
is supposed to be the natural element for
the growth of young ducks, is given to
the ducks in small quantities. From the
time they are hatched until big enough to
ear the ducks are coaxed to take all the
soft mash they can eat. AS soon as thew
are full fed they sit down in the shade
and sleep until the food digests. AS they
are allowed no water except for drinking
purposes, and are confined in narrow
yards where exercise is impossible, the
young ducks devote their energies to put
ting on fat. When they are ten weeks
I'D and the pinfeathers begin to push
through the skin the ducks are killed,
dressed and sent away. Two brothers
who conduct a big duck yard in Sandy
point, sell from 10000 to Is. 900 green
ducks every year. American Investments.
