The legislation asked by the New York. New Haven and Hartford Rail road company in this state relative to the demurrsge on freight cars is in &C., cord with common sense and should be granted. In these hustling times Con- necticut merchants and manufacturers should be able to load and unload their freight in two days, and if they keep cars standing for longer period at the railway stations they. and not the rail road company, should bear the cost of the delay Hartford Times.

Never Tease q Horse,

Teasing a horse is something that not understand joke like a man. and the teasing will make him vicious. Teasing a colt or a calf affords children and thoughtless men amusement for the time being, but these usually de yelop into vicious animals. I once had a calf when I was young man. and I let him bunt me around the lot, and thought it was fun. Later he was "ruler of the roost," and he found an early grave"-that is, he became so grave that he had to pay the penalty by going over the block.-St. Louis Re public

The Millerton Telegram has general information bureau. Whether there is ''any thing in it" or not for Col Gard we know not, but there ought to be. We too have done something along that line.- from finding lost Italian boys in New York city to supplying dates of important happenings to the interested parties. Now what better general in formation bureau can be found than the weekly newspaper office in the country? As far.Rs our own experience goes the work we have done along this line has been practically gratis, because we have not given great deal of Valu- able time to it; but the possibilities of finding out things are great in the news paper office and if there were a way to recover in cash for time specially spent in this line the newspaper office could greatly aid the inquiring individual in matters that do not interest the reading public

Young Eagles.

An eagle lives from eighty to 160 years. The young birds are driven forth by their savage parents to pro vide for themselves as soon as they are able to fly. No training is given them by the old bird. That Is left to their wild instincts, which hunger and ne cessity develop. There is no going back to the old home" for the young ca gles. The mother bird tears up every vestige of the nest, and If they emit plaintiff shrieks the old birds dart at them and push them off the crags or rocks and thereby make them take to their wings. It takes three years for a young eagle to gain its complete plumage and strength.-Independe

Detected by n Mi..p.It Word

In case of political importance, the whole case of which hinged upon the question of the genuineness of certain letters, the most important witness was, while under examination, suddenly taken by surprise by being called upon to write down a particular word which occurred in the letters. The slip of paper was handed back with the word misspelt in an identically similar fash. ion to that in which 1t appeared in the correspondence. and the clever forger was soon after detected in the witness himself.

A poor Austrian official in the civil service bought two tickets in the Hun garian philanthropic state lottery. A little while afterward his funds ran very low, and he sent baA one of the tickets to the lottery office and asked that the money he had paid for 1t might be returned. This very ticket won the first prize at the drawing, amounting to 10000 kronen, a sum which would have made the official rich beyond his utmost dreams If he had not at the last moment let his own good fortune slip out of his hand.

often compensates for any hardship ex-

WILL SINK SHAFT.
Wilgus Mining Company will
Test Claim for Gold.


Five Acre Tract at LeadvlIle, Colorado
to be Developed by Local Capital
Prof. Russell L. Morris VIII Locate
Shaft Next week-Prospects GOOD
for pay Dirt.
The WilRus Mining Company, the
Incorporation Of which was noted in
these columns some time ago, Is about
ready TO begin operations. All the
stock of the company has beea taken
by local people.
The incorpcrat0rs OF the company
are: T. B. Wilgus, E. NJ. Grant, J..
H. McDermott, G. W. Huston and j.
Clark Pickenpangh. Small blocks Of
stock are held by other local people.
T. b. Wilgus ownes about five acres
OF land near Leadville, Colorado. He
holds the land by government patent,
and as yet no attempt has been made
to develope 1t. The land is situated
right 10 the midst of rich claims that
are being worked the nearest shaft
being about mile away. All indi-
cations are that the tract is uuderlaid
with pay dirt.
Prof. Russell L. Morris has been
employed as an expert engineer. and
will leave next week for Leadvllle to
look over the claim. He will take
levels and locate shaft, and the work
OF sinking the shaft will be done by
contractors from Leadyille.
1t Is the company's purpose to sink
a shaft six hundred feet deep, four
feet wide by Q feet In length. This
will cost about $4,000. II pay dirt
Is struck, this will be a small item
compared With the income. T. b.
Wilgus holds 40 per cent Of the stock,
and the remaining 81 per cent Is held
by the other stockholders.
