Flies at Sea.


The finding of flies and butterflies
a long way out at sea is perhaps to
most readers a fact not very well
known. A recent traveller in the trop-
ics relates that when thirty miles
out from land plague Of flies over
took the vessel on which he was steam
ing. The cabin was so full Of them
that the beams were blackened. Com
mon black housef1ies they were for
the most part, with, however, good
sprinkling of large green flies. Where
they could have come from was a mys-
terry, but they were a terrible nuisance.
and, although those on board swept Off
hundreds in a net, their numbers were
not sensibly diminished. Another sin
gular circumstance was that, although
no land was In sight, large dragon
flies repeatedly few across the ship.
and a large dark butterfly was observ-
ed to fit across in the direction Of the
nearest land. quite thirty miles away.
without stopping to rest on the vessel

END OF THE CAMPAIGN.

We've married sister off at last, and pa
and ma are glad;
The troubles that we had are past;
we've all quit feelin' sad;
Now mebby I'll have things to wear
that wasn't pas before,
And none of US will have to care about
expenses no more.
They say his fathers got pile; he
gave house to sis,
Where him and her will live in style,
with servants. after this;
Pa used to fret lot about the price of
meat and coal,
But now his heart is free from doubt
and Joy is in his soul.
We put on all the airs we could when
he began to come;
acted as they said l should and pa
quit bein' glum;
Ma, every chance she got would tell
about our pedigree,
And made him think we had a swell
and old, old family tree.
We all pretended to believe that sis
was somethin' great,
And that we'd set around and grieve If
she would meet her fate;
Ma often got him coaxed aside and in
a tremblin' tone
Would tell about the boys who'd tried
to win her for their own.
We went in debt to dress her well-of
course he never knew;
Gee, but we kept her lookin' swell; she
was outclassed by few;
Pa cut my hair to save expense, we
kept things clean and neat,
And everything was cooked immense
when he stayed here to eat.
We've got her married off at last, and
pa and ma are glad;
The troubles that we had are past;
We've all quit bein' sad;
1t took all we could raise to dress her
so she'd catch a prize
The way the plan worked out 1 guess
1T pays to advertise.

GYPSY WOMAN LIGHT FINGERED.
Lifted $67 from Pocketbook of Put
new Hotel Keeper.

c. p. Shumway, proprietor Of the Ken
drick House in Putney, lost $67 Wednesday
afternoon through inadvertently display,
ing his fat pocketbook before the eyes of
wandering gypsy woman who called at
his hostelry to fathom his future through
the aid of the lines in his hand Mr..
Shumway was engaged in the kitchen
of his clerk. He explained to the wander
ing dispenser of knowledge of the future
that he was too busy to negotiate with
her and finding that he could rid himself
of her quicker by giving her coin he
reached into his pocket and drew forth
his pocketbook, which was of rather pleth-
oric dimensions as it contained $500. As
he opened the folding book his attention
was called to a matter in the kitchen and
he laid the book for moment on the
counter. The fortune teller made hyp-
motto pass at the bank roll and distracted
S67. Mr. Shumway turned to his money
in an instant and remembering that he
had another purse in his pocket contain
ing silver put the paper money INTO his
pocket and gave the woman 30 cents.
Then she departed. 1t occurred to Mr..
Shumway later in the afternoon as he had
occasion to look at his money that it had
been disarranged. 1t had been to the ex-
tent of $67.
Deputy Sheriff Wilkins was communi-
Gated with, but being otherwise engaged,
Mr.. Shumway called in Town Constable
Boland of Putney, and the woman and the
rest of her band were located a few hours
later near the Charles Glidden farm. The
woman was searched and $40 recovered.
Mr. Shumway, congratulating himself that
he had not been stung any more severely,
did not prosecute the woman, and she and
the rest of the tribe came to Brattleboro
late in the afternoon and pan-handled the
business section. They camped on the
island during Wednesday night.
