In the pioneer days of Victoria, B. c.,
a llibcrnian drayman, whose property
abutted on 10 that of II merchant, was
very much disgusted to find that the
merchants chickens were constantly
in his little garden patch and would
root up his flowers and vegetables.
Appeals to the merchant, who was
n patron of the drayman, were Of no
avail, so the following ruse was adopt
ed:
Our friend from the Emerald Isle
purchased some eggs and placed them
here and there in his garden. He then
awaited the merchants wife, who
would call the chickens to feed them,
and In full view of the lady picked up
the eggs and put them in his hat.
The lady asked Mike what he was
doing.
"oh, getting 81 few eggs for my
breakfast" said he.
well" said the lady, you have no
chickens. The eggs are mine"
"Oh, sure are they, mum. Then what
do they do in my garden? Anything
on my premises is my own"
After this the fence was made chick
en- proof, and Mike had no more trou-
ble.-London Tit-Bits.

A story of Dumas.

One day Alexandra Dumas visited

teau DIFF to visit the palace he had
helped to make famous. The guide
showed him everything; also the sub

Dantes and Able Faria used to visit
each other. This passage was dug by
Abbe Faria by the aid of fish bone"
tho guide explained. IN. Dumas tells
about it in his story of Monte Chris.

Indeed" replied the author. "Alex-
andre Dumas must be familiar with
all the surroundings here. Perhaps you
know himW
II should think SO. He is one Of my
best friends"
"And you are one of HIS" replied the
impulsive scribe, letting 2 louis dor

The Glenwood Opinion, this week,
commenced volume "a of its publica-
tion. 1t is one of thelesding Republi
can papers in the 9th Congressional
District, and we are glad to know that
1t is getting better as it grows older.
In 1871 we worked on the Opinion at
the case. At that time VIM. Hale, j.
Y. Stone and Rev. Stevens were doing
the editorial work, and Tom Ballard
was manager of the office. In looking
over the the colums of the Opinion to-
day we find only very few names in
the list of advertisers that were there
thirty years ago. Laraway, the jeweler
Ben Jones, the blacksmith, Heinshimer
the clothier, Mead Rogers. the barber,
are about the only familiar names we
find. Bob Hale was the principal gro
ceryman at that day, and old man Belts
was the only Landlord in Glenwood at
time. Guess We will have to visit
Glenwood some of these days and look
the old timers up.

So 1t was that Jim was so happy.
lie had only two more days to wait;
then he would get his months wages.
He had $500 saved up, and he reflected
that he and Nelly would manage to
get along nicely on that for awhile.
His pride was riding rampant, also,
and his conscience was very self satis-
fed, indeed, for had he not held out
against the allurements of beauty,
wealth, position. easc-everything? 1t

over.
.
The ceremony was over, the few inti-

and Jim and Nell looked at each other
in bewildered sort of way.

There is a great deal of truth in the
following words Of Sioux City busi-
ness man in relation to encouraging
manufacturers:
what the business men ought to do
now is to look carefully after the small
concern that is trying to gain foot
ing on back street. Only three men
may be employed, but this may be the
beginning of large results when ade-
quate capital is introduced. Capital
placed in such companies will bring
favorable results. 1t is to those small
concerns that the cities need to turn.
The concern that occupies a block to-.
day was small and struggling 20 years
ago, but it grew; and so 1t will be with
many Of the small manufacturing con-
Germs of this city. They will grow,
but they will grow faster if the bust
ness men who have money to invest
will look them up and give them a
start"
