WAS RNER'S LVCKy DAv

Chris Hahn, of this county, whose
postofflce address is Leseuer, had a
great stroke of luck last week result
ing from 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 quiet and did not
plunge about, but were unable to climb
out over the ice with the sled attached
to them. Hahn promptly dove down
into the water back of the horses,
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 and were driven to Hahn to
neighbor's barn and well blanketed
After Hahn had changed his clothes
and had taken few drinks of hot
homemade wine at his neighbor's, he
borrowed team, and, going back to
the lake, cut path through the ice to
the shore, fastened long chain to the
end of the sled tongue and hauled the
sled out on land

Wit on the Musings.

Side by side with hat happy hust-
ings retort by candidate who, when
he hnd received rotten egg full in
the face, said, as he wiped off its nau-
seous contents, "Ah, that is the sort
of argument used ty my opponent;
and even that is unsound," might be
set Macauley's hustings retort to the
fellow who thus apologized for having
struck him full in the face with dead
cat, "Tm very sorry, sir; meant it for
the man behind you" II wish to God,
Sir. you had meant it for me and hit
the man behind me-" retorted Macau-
ley, with a subtle scorn which, l fear,
was lost on the rough. Exquisitely
courteous was Thackeray's rejoinder
to the hope expressed by his Oxford
opponent, MAY the best man win"
"Oh. sincerely hope not" replied
Thackeray, with complimentary bow
and smile. In contrast to this retort
courteous might be set the following
passage of arms between two candi-
dates for the University Of Dublin.
One of them, civil list pensioner,
said of the speech of his opponent that
1T betrayed the vulgarity of his char
acter, which not even a university cd
ucation could refine" Whereupon the
other retorted that 1T was great
pity that, when the gentleman had
corruptly secured a pension of $4,000
year, he had not had his tongue put
at the same time on the Civil List
Il. P.'s Weekly.

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 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 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 cents pound, netting
profit to himself of over 500, 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 If
1t had been done Intentionally. the
fact that the catch was made by acci.
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

Giles Eyre filled the post Of lieutenant

the regiment to absolute chaos, no

At an election before the union,
Dick Martin was opposed by Giles
Eyre of Eyecourt, 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 | am willing this mo-
rent to retire from this contest and
to allow Col Eyre to be returned un-
opposed If he will only sign this dec
laration which | 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

LOVES THE MOTHER WEST

I have lived too long with my Mother

To care for the eastern land
For drew life's milk from her mighty
breast;
She taught me to creep and stand;
And my baby eyes looked out and saw
Her spaces serene and vast,
For God carved deeply, the soul TO awe,
When the mold Of our west he cast.
Plains that merge In limitless plain.
Mountain on mountain hurled,
INFINITE leagues of an infinite main,
For giants q giant world
These I have loved since my heart was
And ever paid them toll,
And their praise l breathcd with lisp
For they were my life and soul.
Ay, I hid my face on her great, warm
And I loved right we'll my Mother West.
The east has mountains. hear them say,
Rut the mountains are only hills
Wee hillocks that children might use In
play
And plains that a hillock frills;
And the ocean Is only a stage effect,
or SO 1t seemeth to me;
But what would you have or what ex-
or a gulf from Pacific sea?
'Tis tiny world and I've sometimes felt
That its people grew tiny. too.

Content as they've stih to the gold god
And maddened his will to do.
For the soul needs depth and the soul
needs height
And 1t needs the spaces OF God.
And 1t smaller grows when It ceaseless
Where Mammon doth hold the rod,
But here we are taught by our Mother
That the e's soul Is all and vain is the rest.
Unto him who was born where the world
Is great
The duty Is clear and stern
To stand as the heir to a gods estate
Nor eer to the petty turn.
He dare not walk with the shoddy crowd
Whose lives are hollow pretense.
Whose clamor, "See mel" forever is loud,
Whom glitter of gold contents;
For the mountains murmur, "Stand
straight and tall!'
And the wide plains whisper, BE
broad"
And the ocean mutters. BE not the small
Whom only the small applaud!'
And he who doth turn from these regal
things
To the folly and sham of life
Shall never stand with the uncrowned
kings
Who capture the prize Of strife.
Ay. thankless heir is he, at best,

opinion, the only solution of the race
question" said Governor Vardaman,
in discussing the Atlanta riots, sis
repeal of the 18th amendment and
modification Of the 14th. The civiliza-
ton Of the white man cannot be
suited 10 the lowbrowed, vene cred,
semi-savage negro. When you un-
dertake it, you demoralize the white
and spoil the negro.
''The civilization of the negro lasts
just so long as he is under the con-
troll Of the white man, who inculcates
it. When left to himself, he naturally
drifts back to the barbarisnl of the
jungle. The crime of criminal assault
is brutal manifestation of the ne
gro's aspiration for social equality.
To suppress that aspiration, it is
therefore necessary to separate the
races in schools, in politics, on the
railroads ard street cars, in the
church and in industrial pursuits as
much as possible

arriving at a compromise"
Raymond was pleased. That's the
first note Of sense I have heard uttered
IN this whole row"
When the letter was delivered to him
Munro said: ''Now, Carter, keep mum
about this. II it works out, you can
have all the credit for it: If It fails, I'll
take the kicking"
The crowd in the outer room were
consumed with curiosity as the two
young men came out, but Munro said:
"Get the recruits all together. I'll be
back In half an hour and put them
