HER FLOW OF WIT.

Her voice is very sweet to me,
Though others think it rasps a bit;
While peevish critics frequently
Complain that she has little wit,
listen gladly and am stirred
Most deeply by her every word.
The drama seldom is her theme.
She wastes no time discussing art;
The classic muse she does not deem
A fitting subject, bless her hearth
From science she discreetly turns
And politics she sweetly spurns.
Though others think her dull, I sit
And listen with supreme delight;
1t seems to me her flow of wit
Is always beautiful and bright;
Her constant topic is, you see

Saturday while returning from London
in which he sustained an injured arm

Mrs Henry Bennett, who has been

The commissioners of the Koshko-
nong-Mud Greek drainage district are
now ready with their report, and it will
probably be published next week. The
outside boundary of the district meas
ures about 50 miles and it contains 318
separate pieces of property. It has
10, 488 acres of land by government
subdivisions, and STA acres of marsh.
The Koshkonong creek will be dredged
distance of nearly ten miles and the
Mud creek for nearly four miles. There
will besides be dug 1850 rods of small
bitches. The Koshkonong will be dug
to an average depth of #. 6 in. and
the Mud creek to 5 #. The lateraIs
will be from to feet deep, and part
of the Goose Lake feet deep. The
original plan was to dig both the Kosh-
konong and the Mud creek feet deep.
The increased depth will increase the
amount of digging about 46 per cent,
yet at the price paid for dredging in
neighboring districts, the total cost of
draining tho district will not be more
than one-fifth above the most conserva-
tive estimate of the promoters. When
the report is published, the kickers will
have their reputation for truth and
veracity badly shattered.

Don't Miss This Story.

If you were driven to desperation
through want, and were prepared to
commit suicide, what would you do if
you were offered a large salary to do
another mans bidding for seven years?
Would you accept the offer? Would
you undertake the task blindly, asking
no questions, and be prepared to COM
nit any deed, including murder, which
he might outline for you to do?
This is the problem presented to Paul
Jarret, 1.-THE Deputy Avenger," by the
man who snatches him from suicide
grave. Paul accepts the commission,
and, as you may readily imagine, enters
upon career of strange adventure and
unusual deeds, performed without a
true knowledge of the reason thereof.
Numerous complications ensue, and
there is an endless chain of exciting
scenes before Paul finally frees himself
from the unwelcome state of affairs
into which his rash promise has plunged
him.
The Sentinel will begin the publica-
tion of 1.-THE Deputy Avenger' Mon
day evening, Oct Is. The story, be it
known, is a novel from the pen of He'd
ley Richards, the we'll known author of
adventure. 1t is pronounced by those
who have seen the script to bear I'M
usual promise.
Exclusive rights to the novel have
been secured by The Sentinel. 1t will
be published in installments every ev-
ening beginning Monday.

Sunday evening. disastrous fire was
averted. The fire was in one of the
rooms on tie second floor. 1t seems
that bed had been pushed against the
stovepipe, which passes through the
room from stove below, and in this
way the mattress was ignited and the
bed burned. The family had left the
house and gone to the home of Frank
Potter only short time before. The
fire was discovered by Mrs Peck, who
went to the May home to make call.
She Immediately went to the Potter
farm to give the alarm. BY the use of
a liberal quantity of water the fire was
extinguished.
