No Time For Art.

"Rea high art" said comedian,
"seldom strikes home | played in Il
melodrama In my youth where the
leading characters were grand artists,
but their best scenes were only scotled
at. Our villain had a death scene In
the sixth act He reVeled in that
scene. He writhed all over the stage.
IT was real high art! In a small town
one night the scene shifter started to
lower the slow curtain on this death
much too soon. The dying villain as
he kicked about, whispered h0arsely:
"Time there, young fellow. l amt

The Witches Tree,

Country people speak of the elder
tree as "the witches tree" and
planted Is near farm buildings and
dairies to keep off witches. They also
say that the roots should never come
near we'll, still less grow into 1t, or
the water will be spoiled. Evelyn's
opinion was also unfavorable. He
says 81 do by no means commend
the scent of it, which is very noxious
TO the air.
eve learn from Biesius that GER
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nearly all its inhabitants, which, when
at last they were grubbed up, became
a very healthy and wholesome place."
Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and
the mole is driven away by the scent.
Carriers often place branches on their
horses heads to keep off flies. Moth
ing will grow well in the company Of
the elder and when it has been re-
moved and all its roots carefully
grubbed up it is some few years be-
fore the ground becomes T~rfectly
sweet and good for anything.

Why They Skipped.

1t has Leaked out that the departure Of
the pair who have passed here as c.
L. Davenport and wife, was brought
about on account Of pressure. They
have been in Jackson about a year,
Davenport being instructor of the band,
and teaching music generally. It seems
that Mrs w. {. Thorn, of Myrtle
Point, Oregon, about two months ago
wrote to sheriff Gregory concerning
Davenport, alleging that she was his
lawful wife, and had three children;
that Davenports true name was w. c.
Thom, and he had deserted her and her
children. The sheriff replied to her in
quiries giving her all information at his
command, and telling her what she
could do under the laws of this state.
1t seems however that she corresponded
with Davenport, who promised to send
money in support of her and her
children; that he asked for another
chance, and she refrained from taking
legal steps. Mrs Davenport, so called
here, left about two months ago, but re-
turned few weeks ago. On Tuesday
they both left town for parts unknown.
1t is said that Mrs Davenport's true
name is Green
