4y IRRhpREssyBLE CONFLICT

Behold how lively time few chickens can kindle. Thomas H. Korn- man and George H. Youngs live next
 door to each other in Brooklyn, and
 they were once men of peace and good
 will. But they both took notion to
 have a few chickens. Soon the chick
 ems of MT. Youngs were stolen, and he
 gave up the notion of keeping chickens.
 MT. Kornman managed to keep his but
 they finally became a nuisance to
 neighbor Youngs, who had taken to
 beautifying his garden. There came a
 strained relationship between neighbor Youngs and neighbor Kornman. Korn- man threatened to get dozen or two goats which he said he would let roam all over Youngs' yard. Then Youngs retaliated by declaring that he would get yard full of dogs. He did get some poor looking specimens of dogs to keep Kornman's chickens from his yard Then more trouble followed. The CUTS killed several of Kornmans choicest chickens. One night last week Kornman built spite fence between his home and that of Youngs. It is about six feet high and of solid board so that no one can either see over it or through it. It shuts off the west view from the Youngs' dining room and now Youngs has threatened to built a fence twenty feet high to get even.
 It Is difficult to see the end of this imbroglio. Neighbor Kornman might kill his chickens and invite neighbor Youngs to help eat them on Thanksgiving day, but it is not likely that he will. It is a pity that the two do not live in Connecticut where they could get inter ested in Constitutional Reform and for get the chickens.

An Interesting link with John Bun van Is about to be removed by the de- molition of the quaint little chapel In Kings court, Great Suffolk street. Southwark, London, which was recent ly shut up on account of its ruinous and dilapidated condition. Local tradition associates the author of the "Pilgrim's Progress with the chapel, the story be- ing that while he was conducting relig- sious services at his own impoverished chapel in a shed in Zoar street he fre- quently attended at Kings court and preached from it's pulpit too. It is also related that on one occasion, having ruffied the prejudices of the citizens by his teachings he was hotly pursued by a furious mob and evaded their pursuit by hiding in the garret of the chapel.

A GIRL AND A PORTRAIT.
An Instance of the Influence of Her

edity at a Picture Gallery.
Doctors disagree as to the influenced

Some hold that great deal hinges
upon it; others believe the contrary
Some of the authentic stories told tc
exemplify this mysterious bond be,
tween ancestors and descendants are
very curious.
There was loan collection OF
old portraits exhibited in Londor
lately, and young girl was among
the visitors. She was an orphan and
wealthy, but without near relatives,
and was often heard to complain of
the loneliness of her position.
AS she passed through the gallery
one particular portrait attracted her
attention, and she went back to it
more than once. Her companion
saw in it nothing but the common
place painting of niddle-aged man
in the costume of the latter part OF
the last century.
"It is such a nice, kind face" said
the girl, rather wistfully. II imagine

AS most Of the pictures were ticket
ed, the visitors had purchased no cat
alogues, but, before going away, Miss
B. bought one at the entrance, and
made a last visit to the portrait for
which she had felt so strong an at
traction. To her establishment she
found her own name opposite to K
number, and learned on inquiry that
the original was one of her direct
ancestors.
Another occult coincidence or
psychological phenomenon happened
a few years ago to a southern states
man and financier, whose family had
always been of rank in his native
state This gentleman was overhaul

had been stored in musty chest for

There are many American women

The countess is really the Princess de

upon her by the Emperor Of Austria.

rear of the Elwood seamless tube
works and almost in the heart of town
he met three strangers in rig.
They accosted him and he entered in
to a conversation with them. Sudden
ly one of the trio, a large man wearing
goggles, stepped into Burns buggy
and seized him by the throat. One of
the others sized the satchel containing
the cash intended for the quarrymen
and jumped into his own rig. The mau
with the goggles followed and the
three dashed the horse to a run and
disappeared before Burns could re
cover from the attack. A posse was
hastily formed and came upon the
highwaymen two miles from the scene
of the robbery. An exchange of shots
took place. One Of the robbers was
crippled by a shot and was an easy
victim while the leader, the man with
the goggles, was captured after his
ammunition was expended. The third
man escaped and is yet at large with
1900 of the stolen money. The pris-
