TOO STINGY TO SUBSCRIBE,

A story with a moral. A
man was too stingy to pay
for a newspaper, and as he
could not get along without
it he sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In his haste the
boy ran over a "a stand of
bees and in ten minutes
looked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached
his father, who ran to his
assistance and, failing to
notice a barbed wire fence,
ran into it, breaking it down
cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy, and ruin
ing a "a pair of pants. The
old COW took advantage of
the gap in the fence and
got into the cornfeld and
killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket,
the wife ran and upset a 3
gallon churn full of rich
cream into a basket of kit
tens, drowning the whole
flock. In the hurry she
dropped a 81 set of teeth.
The baby being left alone,
cralled through the spilled
cream and into the parlor,
running a brand new 500
carpet.-Grand Forks On.

IN RE THE lNsULAR GASES.

When the supreme court
of the United States deliver
ed its opinion in the famous
insular cases it created great
excitement. The decision
was neither clear nor appar-
emily logical. 1t was dis
cussed at great length in the
press and by the prominent
members of the bar, the
country over, says the Evans
vile Courier.
The other Gay Representa-
Give Littlefiel6 revived the
excitement by his address
before the American Bar As
sociaton at Denver. Speaking
of the decisions he said that
considering the manner in
which they were reached the
iEcongruity of the results and
the variety of inconsistent
views expressed by the diff
ferent members of the court
they are without a parallel in
our judicial history" He
intimated very strongly that
he didn't consider the Incl
dent closed, and that at some
future time the court would
reverse itself.
When he finished his adj
dress, he was cheered by the
association as a body.
The fact is suggestive.

But this is not the most interesting

In the last few weeks. The mills are held
by the First National Bank. The property
has been renting for $500. As stated IN
The Times a. short While ago, several
gentlemen were here for the purpose
of making an offer for the mills. 1t is
understood now that upon the strength OF
the demand for the property the rent
has been increased to 5000. This, it is
learned, Mr.. Todd considers very high
and may be unwilling to pay it. He anu
the First National Bank are now in cor

it is possible that Mr.. Todd will give
up the mills entirely unless the bank will
rent them for what he considers a more

4 Dog Law.

Especial Dispatch to The Tincs.)
LOUISA. VA. Dec. 23.-The proposal
in the Legislature to adopt a general
dog law will be received with gladness
by the farmers in this county. Owing to
damage to focks OF sheep by dogs, the
industry has become almost extinct.
There has not been a representative who
would dare to ask for a law to protect
sheep against the ravages of dogs and
our only hope is for a general law for
the whole State It is to be feared.
though, that this county would be
exempt.
There are thousands of acres in this
county that cannot be profitably culti-
waited with the present labor that would
make good sheep pasture. The whole
State is interested in this matter, as it
will have such large effect on the
revenues of the State.
1t is safe to say that the General As
