When the Attack Started.

Finally them feiIers got tired shootin' at
US with their artillery. seein as we didn't
do nothin', an concluded to attack. Sud-
denly there came a hull lot o. buglin' out O.
the bushes all around. an before we knew
exactly what was up. down came them
government soldiers a-chargin' on us like
mad We hadn't seen hide nor hair of one
OF them little devils till then, an then they
seemed Z be poppin' up everywhere. The
woods was full o. 'em. An they just kept
comm right on; runnin', ciawin' red
devils, 3umpin' up an down an crawlin' in
the grass when they got In the open.
Our fellers began t. shoot for all they
was worth. but hit one OF them feiers.
They didn't stop long enough t get hit.
Just as you would draw a bead on one of
them he would run Just little ahead or
drop back; you couldn't tell what he was
a-goin to do. Then he'd slip a cartridge
into his gun, run ahead little, drop down
on one knee an shoot.
Don't you ever tell me that these bare
footed, yeller greasers can't fight any more
It's kinder hard t get them started, they
don't look as though they hankered after a
fight much; in fact, when You give them
the choice between liberty and death it
generally looks as though 1t was goin' t be
toss up whether they wouldn't take
death; but when you get them a-goin', an
the bullets a-whizzin', they'll fight all right.

loaded them with cansful Of scrap iron,

4 String to II.

Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh
from Ellis island, had set out to make
their return calls" on their cousins,
the McGooligans, at service in an aris-
tocratic part of the city. Upon arriv-
ing at the house, instead of being con-
fronted by the usual bell knob, nothing
but stingy, mean apology Of knob
in the shape of little black button
met them. Bridget got hold OF the but
ton and gave it a pull, but her fingers
slipped before there was any audible
ring from within. Again and again she
tried with the same result, until she
turned the Job over to Monte" Then
the latter yanked and twisted without
success, until both stood on the land
ing gazing helplessly at each other
Then light came unto Bridget.
'I'll tell you phwat it is" she said.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Never give poultry water in the morn
ing before feeding.
All the stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink in
proper quantities.
To fatten the cockerels rapidly. con-
fine them in close quarters and feed
cornmeal cooked in milk.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long legs are hard to fatten. Those
first hatched fatten quickest in a
brood.
Fowls seldom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk In any form is palatable and
healthy.
The roosting poles should be on a
level with each other. This will pre-
vent the fowls all trying to roost on
the top perch.
\ fowl or animal in which an excel
lence is constitutional is apt to trans
NIT all this excellence in all the de-
veloped power and beauty to its prog
eny.
In selecting for breeding the pullet
should be at least year younger than
the cock. This will conduce to the
strength and good health of the off
spring.

The Returns Given Out in an Admirable
Manner.

Prof. J. H. Dennis of the Nor
NAL School had two lanterns in
service throwing out the returns
from the republican headquarters
in County Chairman Duy's Office
Tuesday evening. The screen
used was of good size and arranged
50 that it could be seen from all
sides Of the square. The scheme
was an excellent one and the crowd,
numbering a thousand or more,
stood from early in the evening TIL
after the midnight hour watching
the returns During the intervals
Mr.. Dennis held the crowd by throw
ing upon the screen some very
pretty views taken in the various
countries of the world. A number
of them were beautifully colored.
Photographs, and good ones too, OF
prominent men in the affairs OF
state and nation, as we'll as the
candidates for the various offices
and we'll known men of town, were
shown, all of which were we'll re-
ceived. Seldom, if ever. have the
election returns been handled and
given out SO admirably and Mr..
Dennis is to be congratulated.

Musical comedy seems to have a
great hold OH public favor, nova
days. In New York "Florodora"
ran for two years-during the past
summer six big musical comedies
ran all summer long OH Broadway.
The latest and one OF the best
candidates for public favor in the
musical comedy line is "a Runa-
way Match which comes 10 the
Opera House Saturday Matinee and
night.
1t is one of the brightest, clever.
est, and daintiest pieces of the kind
ever offered the American public.
No musical comedy is now COM
plete without a sextette and the
special feature of "a Runaway
Mattel" this season is the Nancy
Brown" sextette. Nancy Brown
is the most popular song of the day
having been sung all summer in
the big city productions. There is
also male quartette, a mixed
quartette and a numoer of other
bright and telling specialties.
