GLOBE, March 5.-Paine says: Mar ket today showed most, decisive break we have had for many months. Money is very tight and everyone seems to have more stocks than they care to carry.

Bull Routs Hoboes

The Widow Stannard's E big Devon bull was munching hay in her barnyard at Killingsworth yesterday. The widow was near the barnyard gate, when two tramps approached her.
 "Is the old man at home, madamP asked one hobo, whose nose was as red as the tattered muffer around his neck.
 "'There is no man here, answered Mrs. Stannard; "I am the boss here. v
 ooh, you are, eh, retorted the tramp. leering at her. "Well, hustle around and get us something to eat and something to drink, too; quick.
 As she threw open the barnyard gate the tramps recognized their danger, and fled down the New Haven turnpike. With below the bull dashed through the gate and after them. The angry beast first overlook the fellow with the red mufher, and while the tramp shrieked in fear and agony, caught him on it's horns and hurled him into a snowbank, which, luckily for him, hid him from the bull, broke his fall, and was cool and soothing to his lacerateo wounds. But the bull B fury was moi sated; it chased the other tramp, whc was running like deer, caught him as he was climbing fence, and gave hin boost so foreeful that he turned somersault into the next field.

A Sin Not to Talk

The woman who talks too much may be guilty of the sin of speech, as Ruskin says, but according to the Rev. Hugh Black of the Union Theological seminary, who addressed an audience of women at the religious conference at the University of Chicago last night the woman who does not talk enough is equally sinful with her loquaeious sister.
 Dr. Black admitted that some women and girls talk too much, but he main tains that talking too little, or at in opportune times, is a fault that should be corrected by women as well. as by men.
 "The tongue can sin in a far more subtle way by keeping quiet when talk is imperative, resumed Dr. Black "'Ignoble silence is a far greater sin than ill-advised loquaeity. We all are guilty of this sin at some time or other in our careers. The mother who with holds words of encouragement to hei children does them more harm than she could do by overpraising their youthful efforts, Words judieiousIy spoken arc golden. but ill-timed silence is often s calamity.
 "How many mothers have died with out hearing her children whisper to hel that they love her9 Women and girls keep words which ought to be spoker and utter those which should have re mained unspoken. If one must speak let it be in the spirit of charity and love for one another. Then there vii be little sin. of speech. Chicago Ex amner.

you Il section of land at the crossing
Of the Muskingum, Hooking and Scioto
rivers" Zane fulfilled the contract,
and congress made the grant.
May II, 1896, congress granted to
Ebenezer Zane three ira cts Of land,
