WIDOW Jason was the relict of Farm
er Jason, and she carried on the farm
AFTER his death with even more wisdom
than he had shown himself possessed
OF. She was still on the brighter side
OF forty, fair to look upon and was at
peace with all her neighbors until the
one to the east of her sold out and q
stranger moved in.
He was man of middle age named
Chisholm, and, being a widower, his
sister managed the house for him. If
the Widow Jason was one of those who
wondered what sort of man he was.
she was the first to find it out. Among
her live stock that year were a dozen
hogs, and it was the fault Of her hired
man that there were holes In the
fences through which they made their
way into the potato field of the new
neighbor. She had just finished her
breakfast one morning when Chisholm
was announced. He had the courtesy
to lift his hat and give his name, but
he also had the bluntness to add:
Madam, your Internal hogs have
rooted up half an acre Of potatoes for
me, and II you can't manage to keep
'em home I'll shoot every one of emp
She looked at him and saw that he
was above the ordinary and felt that

ed to make his acquaintance. But his
rude greeting angered her, and, being a
woman with a mind of her own, she
at once replied
II can pay for all the potatoes OIL
your farm, and if you come here tt
threaten me you'll find woman who
don't scarew
well, you keep your hogs at home
"And you keep yourself in the same
place"
That was the first tilt The fences
were mended and the hogs were in de
spair when a high wind blew a gait
open, and the drove spent the night IL
the same potato field. Next morning
Chisholm drove ten of them home ant
said to Widow Jason:

LIGHT FOR THE OHIO FALLS

Electric Search1ight on Tower Will
Aid Boats to Avoid Collisions.
The only inland lighthouse save those
on the great lakes is to be erected at
the falls Of the Ohio, says a dispatch
from Louisville. O., to the Pittsburg
Dispatch. The lighthouse is to be
erected at the head of the Indiana
shoot. According to the plans, it is
to be eighty four feet high from the
rock bottom which forms the crest cS

shaped will be built CT stone rising to
level two feet higher than the flood.

On this will be erected the house or
the keeper and a steel tower on which
will be placed searchlight, operated
by machinery at the base Of the tower.
By means Of this the harbor can be
swept at all times and close watch
kept for all craft in danger, besides
being of service as the boats go over
the falls at night.

The IrIshman on the Stand.

Lawyers with an appreciative
sense Of humor enjoy nothing SO
much as to get quick witted,
ready tongued son of the Emerald
Isle on the stand to relieve the mo-
notony Of the legal technicalities Of
a case. A gentleman who has been
collecting samples Of Irish wit and
repartee for some time relates the
following anecdotes. Some of them
are doubtless mellow with age, but
in any case they will bear repeti-
ton:
A henpecked husband had his bet
ter half arrested for assaulting him.
The plaintiff was on the stand.
"And now, Mr.. O'Toole," said his
counsel, "will you kindly tell the
jury whether your wife was in the
habit Of striking you with impu-

on the Chicago express train of
the Northwestern line, died in
his car at the Hudson depot this
morning. He left Minneapolis
at s o'clock in apparently good

characterization Of the Horse,

Although the predictions freely made
few years ago that the development
Of electric traction would quickly
drive horses from the field of labor
have not been fulfilled, yet che Elec-
trical Review cites statistics to prove
that the disc ppearance Of the horse is
actually taking place, although SO
slowly as not to attract much atten-
ton. In Paris the number Of horses
fell off about per cent between 1901
and 1902. In London the decrease In
the same time was 10 per cent. In Ber-
lin, Vienna and st. Petersburg a SINH
lar falling off is shown by the census
Of horses. In New York 1t is estimated
that the number of horses has de
creased 33 per cent in the last twenty
years. But, although horses may be re-
lieved Of the burden of hard labor, It
is not likely that man will ever Danish
his ancient friend and servant wholly
from the circle Of his pleasures.
