Youths Companion tells Of the lucky
strike in Nicaragua Of Hancock county
boy, Warren P. Brown, of Bucksport.
This Is t story:
One of the funny little revolutions that euiven
existence In the countries at the south of us
seems to have found a Yankee the spot 1t
appears that before Gen. Reyes seized the Gus
toms department at Bluefelds, In Nicaragua, he
d his estate for 1000 to u man named Br own,
who halls from Maine. Buyer and seller were
aware that If Reyes plot failed. the government
OF Nicaragua would probably eonf-cate the
property but Brown was wiling To take his
chance. The fact that his father iD-iAw was the
general In command at BlueHe ds may have
tended to stifen :.is nerve AT all events the
royot did fall, Reyes was driven out of the
country, the government set about to seize
every thing he owned or formerly ownea, when
the cons enient fatherin-law. vi soldiers at hi,
mack, interviewed. The result Is that Brown has
$4,000 property, bought at a bargain; and the
generous and forgetfui government has granted
hi concessions, ia addition, which he says will
ensure him fortune In a few years. In his let.
ters TO American friends, MIR. Brown Toes no.
attempt TO sermonize upon these facts; but the
obvious moral of the tale Is BE careful to
choose the right man for father-in law.

Pekin Ducks.

Rouen ducks are equal to the Pekins
in size, lay as many eggs, are more
beautiful and grow rapidly, but no
duckling will grow as fast as a Pekin
duclzling up to the age of twelve
weeks, nor will any breed thrive as
well without pond as the Pekins. All
breeds have some disadvantages as
well as advantages, says some one in
Farm and Fireside. Pekins are white
main line. AT some points il
will run several miles distant
from the main line. In the near
future the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will expend many mil
lions of dollars all along their
lines doing away with the cuts
and grades and otherwise i'm
proving the roadway. This COM
pany is in excellent financial
shape now and the value Of the
stock is constantly incre asing.
