Murdered by a Statue.

The death of Zenith, the hah.myth- ical king of Scotland. was one of the most curious and remarkable in his. tory, if it may be called & historical fact. It seems that Kenith had slain Cruthlintus. son, and Malcolm Duf fus. the king and brother of Fennella: she. to be revenged, caused Wiltus, the most ingenious artist of the time to fashion a statue filed with auto matic springs and levers.
 Finished and set up. this brazen i'm age was an admirable work of art In its right hand Wiltus placed a ewer and fin the left an apple of pure gold, finely set with diamonds and other precious stones. To touch this apple was to court death It was so arranged that any one guilty of such vandalism would be immediately rid died with arrows shot from loopholcs in the statues body.
 Zenith was invited to see the won- der, and, kinglike (and just as Fen nella hoped) tried to pluck the imita- tion fruit. He was instantly riddled with poisoned arrows, dying where he fell.

About Town.

This bright sunshiny day is responsible for a good business in Prescott, and our merchants surely had it coming to them. Last nights high wind dried up the mud and made the roads better than they have been in a long time.
 c. H. Litton is showing speci- men which is claimed to be a petrified ducks leg that he found 165 feet below the earth's sur face while digging well for Isaac Galloway. The specimen is very radient in color and so hard is its composition that the strongest acids have no effect whatever on it. It is on exhlbi- tion at E.A. Shorts.

 The business mems league of Helena, progressive organiza- tiOn of progressive town, have inaugurated a new scheme to ad- vance the interests of that city. A tract of land has been purchas- ed for the establishment of a demonstration farm and gov ernment expert is to have charge of it. The purpose is to show the farmers in the vicinity of Helena what can be done by scientific and diversified farming. Helena is not without extensive manufacturing interests, but the business men argue that if the rural communities are thrifty and progressive it will add much to the trade of the city Hence the league is investing money to educate the farmer into better farming. Here's an idea for Prescott's business men.

The Stampless Man,

Did you ever stop to think how helpless a man is without postage stamps?' inquired the man with the armful of packages the other day. We use stamps lots of times without thinking about it-don't realize how many things we mail from day to day But awhile ago I started to mail a big bunch of Christmas packages. and wanted about 50 cents worth of stamps. The hotels were all sold out or nearly so. l stopped at three drug stores without finding a single stamp. and then l made for the post office suostation down in the arcade. There was line of people there half block long. couldn't wait there and l went on down to the post office. The nne there was just as long
 Well l finally got my stamps but 1t took me about two hours altoeeth- CT. never had any idea a man could waste so much time just over the postage stamp problem in a town this size. .'-Cleveiand Plain Dealer.
