Characteristics of weasels.

A recent writer tells this story of
a weasel: 1.-TWO friends were out in
Charmwood forest, Leicestership, and
while one of them went to ex-
anime some object of interest at
a distance the other lay down upon
the grass to rest. This gentleman, it
seems, had sardine sandwich or two
il his coat pocket, and presently he
felt something evidently trying to
force an entrance. He put out his
hand suddenly and found he had a
weasel in his grasp. He threw the
animal to some distance from him and
lay down again. Within a few min
utes the weasel was again struggling
at his pocket. and not until he had
repeatedly driven it away did the de-
termined creature relinquish it's de-
signs upon the lunch.
Weasels are not slow to resent an
injury On one occasion a man who
sought to kill one with stick was
a, .acked by a colony of from fifteen
to twenty, which rushed from beneath
rock on hearing the Cry of their
friend The infuriated creatures
sprang upon him, rending his hands

For and Against Automobiles.

The medical side of automobiliing is
beginning to arouse discussion among
doctors. The issue is quite simple
and the arguments for and against are
most smphatically expressed One
school holds that deafness. bronchial
troubles and catarrh are the all but in
evitable consequences of the new mode
OF locomotion and that the quicker
you travel the more certain you are
to fall victim to at least one, and pos
sibly all three, of these complaints.
The other school insists that all this
is pure nonsense and that travelling
in mOtor-car, especially when it is
going at full speed, is a splendid rem
ovator. 1t sends swift rushes of pure
air through the nostrils into the
lungs: while the eternal beating
against the pure air in question hard
ems the muscles OF the rac9 and quick
ems the circulation, so that. in spite of
a certain tense look which the sport
brings into the face, it also freshens it

Cliff Falls Into Sea.

When the inha abitants of Sidestrand
near Cromer, England, awoke one
morning a few weeks ago they were
surprised to find that a large portion
of cliff on the seashore had sunk
into the sea. Thirty thousand tons
of earth had fallen and with it the
wall and portion of the graveyard of
old st. Michael'S church. The ancient
church tower itself is now in jeopardy,
for during the day following the slip
a further portion of the cliff crumbled
away, leaving only few fe-. between
the tower and its edge. A grewsume
feature of the slide was the unearth-
ing of many long-buried cotfins and
the scattering of human remains far

The only Newport society the great

PRIMROSE PATH
LOOK GOOD TO HER
ANNIE QUlRk HAS GOTTEN BEYOND
HER PARENTS, WHO APPEAL
TO THE OFFICIALS.

NJ. II. Quirk, who lives at $40 South
Main street. appeared at the county at
torney's Office this morning to complain
of the conduct of his I6-year-old daughter,
Annie. After he told his tale to Deputy
County Attorney Lynch, the latter decided
to have the girl taken into custody and
sent to the reform school.
She has started on the primrose pat!,
and all the efforts of her parents to realize
the danger of it has been unavailina, Mr..
Quirk lays most OF the blame for the crring
ways of his daughter OH a companion, an
other young girl, who takes the Quirk
girl out nights to places that will not be
advantageous to the morals of either.
For while the Quirks made an effor,
to get Annie to go to school, but she
broke away and resumed her old haunt..
She has now arrived at the stage where
she dehes the parents to interfere with
her and so they have decided to ask the
law to step in and law its iron hand upon
Miss Annie, until such time as she shall
have shown that she can be trusted with
her character over night.

RANK AND FILE DISSATISFIED WITH
THE FELLOWS WHO ARE RUN
MING THE CAMPAIGN.
HUGH |. WILSON is NOT
THE MAN FOR JHE HELM
And One Thomas Hnds's Specially Is
Growing Over the Victory After II Is
Won, Although When the Battle ls on,
Thomas Is Not the Leader He Would
Make Himself Out to Be.

Some of Mr.. Heinze's hired men are
kicking over what they claim to be the bad
taste and bed politics of those who are
engaged in running the campaign. 1t is
common talk among them that Hugh /.
Wilson is not a politician and does not
understand how to conduct campaign.
They say, too, that the fact that Tom
Kinds is the assistant manager, does not
help matters According to the really
good politicians, il there arc any among
the Heinze crowd, Mr.. Hinds is not the
great man he would have people believe.
He is one of those men who shine after
the battle is over-after the day is done.
When the election is over and it dawns
upon Mr.. Kinds that the republican ticket
has been successful, he will at once blame
"Swede" Murphy and the rest of the boys
who do the work. But should the fusion
lists by any chance be elected then it will
be dangerous to stand in front Of Mr..
Kinds on account of the flying buttons
from his waistcoat. He will swell with
pride and tell, with manv winks and mods,
just how he accomplished the great vic
tory.
The Men Who Do.
The men who did the work thus far in
the campaign and who believe that they
have really done some good for their
chief, have been relegated to the rear and
they do not like it. They say that Mr..
Wilson may be all right as the manager of
race track that his knowledge of touts
and jockeys may be all right-that, in fact,
he is good man in his place. but that his
place is not at the head of political
organization. Wholesale desertions are
predicted, and at present the murmurings
are day by bay becoming louder and more
ominous.
Mr.. Heinze has taken his side partner
and co-campaigner, "Cissy" Lotus, and
gone ON tour through the state, but in
the opinion of his former adherents he has
work to do at home and had better remain
here to attend to it.
One thing is certain and that is, for
some cause, the Heinze crowd are not
making so much noise as they we're, and
"Swede" Murphy's night school for politi-
cal novices has been closed and the educa-
tion OF many of the boys, it is feared, will
be neglected.
