Dc Fishes Hear?

Did any one ever see a fish's ears?
Do fishes have ears? 1t has been pref

should they make sounds unless they
expect to be heard? The drum drums.

A man sent a note to rich neighbOr

Bad Spelling.

One of the causes to which the prev
alence Of bad spelling among the rising
generation is attributed is the fact that
the modern Roman method of pro-
nOuncing Latin gives no direct indica-
ton of the pronunciation of the Eng
lish derivatives and SO no cue to their
spelling, as the English sound Of Latin
words did when it was used.

A SCARED MAJOR.

In the last generation a Ken lucky wedding was the occasion of the most lavish hospitality. The house of a particular we'd ding described by Major c.
 was packed with guests. They all were jolly and happy. The evening was one round of gave ty. At midnight, when he came to go to bed, and heavy from numerous potations, he just re membered he was to sleep in a room at the end of the hall, on the third story. Ills bed-fellow was to be the groom's best man. When he reached the end of the hall he could not remember whe- ther it was the right or left bed room, hesitated moment and then chanced on the left. Xvi dently he had made TO mistake. The room was unOccupied. He undressed rapidly, tossing his clothes in every direction. In a moment he w&S in bed, the light out, and a second later sound asleep. Suddenly he was walk ened by fist in his back and then a feminine voice said: "Wake up Nelly, I want to talk before 1 go to sleep"
 Then the Major did wake up and trembled with horror. He remembered now that the two belles of the county, the hand somest women in kentucky, had the room opposite him. He had got into the wrong room and bed. The last comer had come up, had undressed in the dark, and had stolen in by the side Of what she thought was her com panion. The Major fairly shiv- cred with fright. At any mo- ment the real companion might come, and then he knew what
The Arizona sentinel., 1902-05-14

would follow. The girls had
 several uncles. They all shot very well. A scene would mere ly result in his being riddled and allowed to explain afterwards.
 After one second eternity Of thought, the major resolv- ed on d bold course. He jumped from the bed as if he were in the company of a snake. Then said in a low tone of voice:
 Miss, for Gods sake, don't scream. There is a horrible mistake here. Don't scream. I am going to get my clothes and get out. For Gods sake, don't scream"
 Not hearing a word in reply, the major began to hunt for his clothes. He did not dare to strike a light. He was in the very short night garments of the period, and it could not be too dark for him. He hunted his clothes with great difficulty, dreading each moment to see the door open and the other young lady walk in. Finally he hud- died all his clothes together all but one stocking, when voice from the bedside said: Hurry up, sir" Luckily for him no one was in the hall. He made dash across, and arrived in his own room, where his friend had not yet arrived.
 Hardly had he closed the door than he heard the rush of flying feet down the hall, and the rustic of skirts as the room opposite was entered by belle No ,.
 It was a lucky escape. The stocking was afterward discov- cred, but as no owner could be found for it no scandal was created.

 You are in command, sir. Do it.

 "Then Col. Grant, in the gath ering shades of night, issued hls first order in the War of the Re belliOn. It was for the Twenty third Illinois Infantry to appear the following day for inspection parade. This made it necessary for the men to have their knap- sacks packed ready for the Ordinarily such an or der would mean little, but when the inspection parade terminated the Twenty-thir Regiment was twelve miles from Springfield and on the road to Hannibal with wagons and camp impedi- menta following in their wake.
 "The men did not realize what was up and went into camp with out murmur. The march was continued until Quincy was reached. Hannibal was invaded and the disturbance ended. Down the river the regiment journey ed, and participated in the bat tie of Belmont, opposite Colum- bus, Ky, and Grants career as a soldier started, en route for AppOmatOX. Milwaukee Sen tinel.
