FRESHMAN OF THE PAST

At an election before the union.
Dick Martin was opposed by Giles
Eyre of Eyecourt, a territorial mag
nate and thorough sportsman, re-
rowned alike for his reckless extrav-
agances and daredevil bravery, says
Blackwood's Magazine. He was. how
ever, totally illiterate, circumstance
less regarded then than at the pres
ent time. The hustings in those days
used to be erected in Eyre square, in
Galway, sufficiently close to each 9TH
er to enable the rival candidates for
popular favor to exchange banter and
ether sallies of wit. Advancing to the
front of his booth with folded paper
IN his hand, Dick Martin exclaimed:
81 declare solemnly, before all here
assembled, that l am willing this mo-
rent to retire from this contest and
to allow Col Eyre to be returned I'M
opposed if he will only sign this dec
laration which l hold in my hand"
This, however, it was not possible
for Giles Eyre to do-not from any
dissent to the views set forth in the
document in question, but because, as
Dick Martin was well aware, he was

WAS FARMER'S LUCKy DAD

When he did so a great and happy
surprise was vouchsafed him, for the
high, double sleigh box, weighted down
as it fortunately had been with a cou-
pie of bundles of fence wire, had not
floated off the runners but had re-
manned submerged beneath the water,
and, while in that position, had been
filled almost completely full of fine
pickerel, pike and black bass that had
swarmed in from the deeper portions
of the lake to get a breath of fresh
air at the opening made when the
team broke through.
The weight of the load of fish ex-
ceeded ton, and Hahn made a fine
profit out of the accident the next day,
which was Friday, for he brought the
load into town and sold it all in a
short time at 3 cents a pound. netting
a profit to himself of over 800, after
paying Paul F. Block and Herman
Weckworth for their services as auc-
tioneer and clerk, respectively.
Although the fish were caught in
such a manner that it would have been
unlawful to take them in that way IL
it had been done Intentionally. the
fact that the catch was made by acct
dent took the case entirely out of the
jurisdiction of the game warden, who
promptly decided that he had nothing
to do with it, and he was one of the
heaviest buyers at the sale.-Leseuer

Chris Hahn, of this county, whose
great stroke of luck last week result
ing from a serious accident.
He was driving home, and, to short
en- the journey, turned from the high
way and took short cut across Pea
nut Lake. Just before he reached the
opposite shore, however, the ice broke
and the team and sled were precipi-
tated into the water, which, fortunate
ly, was only about five feet deep where
the sled went down and still shallower
where the team was.
The horses were cuiet and did not
plunge about, but were unable to climb
out over the ice with the sled attached
to them. Hahn promptly dove down
pulled out the pin that held the double
tree to the tongue, dove into the sleigh
box and got an ak, with which he cut
out some of the ice in front of the
horses. The team then was able to
climb out ard were driven to Hahn to
neighbor's barn and well blanketed
After Hahn had changed his clothes
and had taken a few drinks of hot
homemade wine at his neighbors, he
borrowed a team, and, going back to
the shore, fastened a long chain to the
end of the sled tongue and hauled the
sled out on land.

Last summer there was tried at Chi
cago a breach of promise suit that
awakened much interest in legal cir
cles by reason of the ingenious means
taken by counsel for the defendant to
secure a verdict for his client. Coun-
sci for the plaintiff had begun to read
what was alleged to be the proposal
of marriage on the part of the defend
ant. This so-called proposal appeared
on a telegraph blank. Turning to the
jury counsel began with MY darling

SAVED BY THE CONDITIONS

counsel for the plaintiff that the print
ed matter had no relevancy with the
case-the fact being that the proposal
was written on telegraph blank by
accident--the ruling of the court was
that everything on the blank should
be read. Accordingly the reluctant
counsel for the plaintiff was forced TO
read the following:
There shall be no liability on ac-
count of this message unless the same
shall b. repeated, and then only on
condition that the claim shall be made
within thirty days in writing" Then
after the signature followed: Yours

"Are you doing what you can?" was
the subject of Rev. w. G. Goens, the
evangelist, who spoke to women only at

ner in dealing with subjects has gained
the admiration of all who have heard
him. He frequently referred to his text
when reminding tho women of their

Truth is simple as the sermons nature
tells us on our way.
Gentle the thought of brothers who
We've parted yesterday;
1t is plain as honest faces that betoken
hearts so kind
They hands unto the weary, seeing
eyes unto the blind;
1t is beautiful as morning when the world
awakes to joy
And life's golden expectations thrill the
eager heart of boy;
1t is lasting as the cliff rock that forever
fonts the sea,
Lasting as the ocean waters that shall
wash the cliff rock free;
And although 1t wrines emotion from the
life that suffers long.

battle fierce and strong:

of love and peace.
