EUCHRE

Ex-President Cleveland used te
fish and shoot i'll the Barnegat Bay
district. John Camburn, a Guide
says that one cold, wet night Mr.
Cleveland got lost. He wandered
through the rain and darkness, try
ing to find his party, but not q
house could he see, not light,
nor a road.
Finally he struck a narrow lane,
and in due course a house appear
ed. 1t was now late. Mr.. Cleveland
was cold and tired. He thought
he could go no farther, so he bang
ed at the door till a window on
the second floor went up and a
gruff voice said:
Who are you?"
"A friend, " said Mr.. Cleveland.
What do you want3
I want to stay here all night. 5"
Stay there, then
And the window descended with
a bang, and Mr.. Cleveland should
cred his gun again and resumed
his Journey. Boston Herald.

THE knocker is said to be getting
IN his work. A man should be

Anniversary Celebration.

Branch No. 919, c. K. of A.
celebrates the first anniversary OF
its inaugural tonight at the opera
house by a grand social entertain
ment. Numerous invitations have
been issued.
The man who handles the local
department of a newspaper learns
after due experience not to expect
very many thanks for a column of
pleasant things, but he knows as
surely as comes the season that a
single line in which there is an
unintentional mistake vii | cause
some one to be heard. Also that
when he made pleasant mention
1899 times of some person, place or
thing, but on the thousandth time
fails to do so, he must not expect
to be forgiven. Elk.
When a woman takes i'll sewing
and washing and makes more
then she really needs, she is not
to blame if she blows in some of it
on her husband. A married man
feels awful lonesome hanging
around a saloon all day with not a
cent in his pocket and no one dis
posed to set EN- up, and a dollar or
two of wash money makes him
feel like heightened gentleman
K. Lamity's Harpoon.
A young lady was being criti-
cised for marrying a man well up
in middle age instead of youth.
My observation has been," said
the young woman, that it is bet

horse that knows how to pull the
load rather than a fool colt that
can't do anything but prance and
kick and try to run away. "-Yoa-

A good joke is told on a farmer
who wore his old suit until every
body was tired of it and his es-
timable wife so shamed of him.
But one day while selling produce
in the town he determined to buy
a new suit and a happy thought
struck him. He would surprise
Eliza. So he bundled a new suit
into the wagon, hurried towards
home and at the bridge two miles
from town, he stood up in the
wagon and peeled off, and threw
the despised old suit into the creek.
When he reached for the clothes
they were gone-had jolted out of
the wagon. The night was cold
and his teeth chartered as he
hurried for home. He surprised
Eliza even more than he an
ticipated.

Process of Hardening Wood.

Considerable interest has been aroused by the announcement, as the result of a prolonged series of ex- periments. of method of so treating timber as to secure even from soft wood a largely increased toughness and hardness. The treatment to which the timber is subjected is. roughly speaking, that of saturation at boiling point with a solution of sugar, the water being afterwards evaporated at a high temperature. The result is to leave the pores and interstices of the wood filled in with solid matter, and the~timber vulcan ized. preserved and seasoned.
