Boring for Turtles.

Young Bob Newell gave public
"turtling" exhibition Sunday after
to the river. He caught twenty-five of
the reptiles in little over two hours,
and a crowd watched his performance.
He carried pole like pitchfork
handle, with hook at the end of it.
He would sink this at random into the
soft mud until he struck the hard
shell of the turtle; then, with a sim
pie twist of the wrist, he would drag 1t
from its bed with long, strong pull.
The turtles he caught ranged in weight
from four to twenty-five pounds, and
were worth from sixteen cents to 81
each.-Lacon Qll) Journal.

Mixed RELATIONSHIPS,

Lord Gresham, who kept his fifty
first birthday last week, was doubly
the late Duke of Westminster, who was
not only his brother-in-law. but also
his father-in-law, as Lord Chesham
married his Grace's daughter by his
first wife. Lady Chesham was, in con-
sequence of this double alliance, sis
ter-in-law to her own father, while the
Duchess of Westminster became moth
er-in-law to her own brother. The
duke was, further, grandfather and
also uncle by marriage to Lord Chesh-
ans children, while his own children
by his second wife were at the same
time his great-nephews and nieces.

Lesson TO Bankers.

The Jewell County (Kansas) Repub-
lican tells little story in illustration
of the circumspection with which coun-
try bankers must handle their custom
ers. A Kansas banker lost patience
with the "dribble-drabble" business of
a man who caused the bank lot Of
trouble in bookkeeping, and the CASH
Ter told the man that his account was
not desirable. In little while the
man died, leaving large sum in l:fe
insurance, which was deposited by the
wife in rival bank. And little later
still she married the best customer the
first bank had, and induced him to re-
move his deposit.
And the lesson is that all banks
should treat us kindly, for there is no
telling how soon we may leave a lot
Of vengeful widows to deposit the lie
insurance elsewhere and marry away
the banks best customers.
