Agee, is confined to his bed with a fractured skull and Will Haynes, also we'll known and prominently connected, is held under a s200 bond.
 The row seemed to start over another young man jocularly calling drummer by the name of Parker nickname. The drummer resented it. and started after his tormenter. when MT. Haynes stopped him, telling him he was too large to jump on such a small man. The drummer turned on Mir. Haynes and about that time young Clapps came up and struck Hughes, say ing that Parker was his friend. general mix-up occurred and Haynes grabbed a billiard cue and struck Clapps over the head with 1t. knocking him insensibe Deputy Sheriff Williams came into the place just about the time the blow was struck and arrested MT. Haynes. Physi- his skull was discovered to have been slightly fractured by the blow. Upon its being ascertained that the wound was not likely to prove fatal, bond was allowed Mir. Haynes and he was released. The in- jured man will be able to be out in day or so.

A Political Secret,

Before Napoleon I'LL, emperor OF
France, became Interested in the Mex
lean empire project he had a plan In
mind for certain mysterious military
operations In Morocco. A writer says:
The German agent Of firm Of Liege
gunsmiths used to go at dead Of night
to private door in the Rue st. Honore,
press button and be received In secret
by Louis Napoleon himself. The Ger
man was to secure arms to the order of
Napoleon, but all was to be secret.
Payment was TO be made through a
Swiss banking house, as part Of the
capital Of a railway in the Grisons
But It all came to nothing. Mexico
claimed The horizon and the German
and his guns were forgotten, and the
secret of it all is still to seek"

The walking sticks" walking
leaves" etc, are among the most curl
GUS forms Of insects inhabiting tropical
America. They belong to the great
family Of phasmidaes and are as odd
specimens OF animated nature as one
could well imagine. The type Of the
family is an elongated creature with a
cylindrical brown body, looking exact
ly like a small limb or twig with the
bark on. Some Of the branches Of this
numerous family live in the torrid por-
tions of Africa, where they attain enor-
nous sizes. Vane, the great traveller,
said he had seen them so large that
they had the general appearance OF
great, animated clubs moving up and
down the branches and trunks Of the
gigantic tropical trees"

that Crooks and Day endured proved
too much for Day, and caused the
overthrow of his reason, and he died
at Astoria within year. Crooks re-
covered and returned east overland
the same season, and at the point
where he had been so treacherously
robbed he recognized two of the rob-
bers and his party captured them. A
return of the stolen articles was de-
manded, and Indians set out in differ
ent directions and brought in the two
rifles and some of the other things.
The two thieves had been kept tight
ly bound all day, with promise of
execution to offset their cruelty to the
two white men, but he magnanimously
relented and released them.

it heads away over toward the Mys-

Lord Liverpoor. Rape of the reapo

Lord LiverpOors Rape of the Teapot.
Lord Liverpool, who was travelling
incognito, after breakfasting at hotel
in London, ordered his valet, a raw
Sussex youth, to clear the table and
pack everything in a portmanteau. By
this order, of course, was meant Lord
Liverpool's letters and papers. But
the youth took it to include the silver
teapot and spoons. When Lord Liver
pool was driving down oxford street a
cry of stop thiefT' was raised, and
the landlord of the hotel arrived in hot
pursuit. There in the street the prime
minister had the modification Of hav-
ing his luggage opened, and in it was
found the plate. Never would the
statesman laugh at the episode even
years after, so great was his fear that
the story might get into the newspa-
pers,-London Spectator.

THE MAGIC HARP.

Tom Moore's harp is being exhibited
at the Irish Industrial Exposition In
Madison Square, New York.
The idle harp! Its master dead,
Who once the soul of music shed,
1t hangs in lonely silence here.
Unthrobbing to the grosser ear;
But faint, to souls attuned, there rings
A soft vibration of the strings.
The harp that once on Tara rang,
And that to which the minstrel sang,
Are ringing, singing. Now the strain,
Half-heard, half-doubted, seems to
wane.
Till soft Avocan ripping thrills
The faintly-echoin Wicklow hills.
Again the melody upswells,
AS patriot pride the music tells;
Sadly and proudly it bequeaths
To Emmet's tomb its viewless wreaths,
Then sinks once more The
music's shade
Dies slowly, as a rose might fade.

pathetic strike for mules, the
men contending that the mules
did not get enough to eat. The

Heretofore, strikes have grown
out of alleged i'll treatment of

700 men idle for weeks hinged
on the question of what consti-
