social club in Wilkes Barre, Pa. the 9th
er night, where several crap games were
in progress. Those in the place tried TO

down somewhat the mayor said:
Il will not call the patrol wagon and
lock you fellows up for gambling ii you
will do one thing"

1T is this" replied his honor. 1.-THE
Zion A. NJ. +. church of this city owes
the gas company $3.50, and the pastor
of the church has complained TO me that

Alphonson Roberts, aged 80. an Ital-
ian. applied to Probate Clerk Morris of
Columbus, O.. for a marriage license to
marry Anna Reams. His failure to I'M
derstand the language of his adopted
country also saved him from facing a
penitentiary sentence for perjury An
interpreter. Tony Pusateri, was called
in to answer the questions for him. and
in their efforts to have Roberts under
stand he let out the fact that he still
has a wife in Italy. Notwithstanding
that he was told he could not get IL
cense, he insisted he was doing the
proper thing, and when questioned as to
his reason, declared that he had given
his Italian wife $1,000 to stay at home
and allow him to marry again. He was
very much surprised when Clerk Morris
told him there was nothing doing" He
seemed to think the $1,000 which he had
given his wife was enough evidence that
she would not interfere with his matri-
monial ventures on this size of the big
pond"
What the Tututoma, in the Altar dis
trict. look upon as the missing link be-
tween man and the anthropoid ape has
just been discovered by two vaqueros,
who say they killed the monstrosity in
self-defense. while hunting near Mexico
the carcass of the beast identify it as
the traditional ''nahua," or aztec
beast" The animal is the size of large
dog and is without hair, except on the
top of the head and tip of the tail. Its
complexion is not unlike that of dark
Indian, while its skin is wrinkled and
roughened like that of one long exposed
to the weather. The hair on the ami
mails head is a distinct auburn and
bristles out in a shock like that of one
long unacQuainted with comb and brush.
The rear feet, upon which it walked
when discovered, are like those of hui
man being, except for nails like bears
claws. It's front feet are like those of
dog. The mouth is like that of a dog,
but the face is hairless like that of
monkey.
William Curd. a farmer living near
Oakland City, Ind, has a Maltese cat
that is literally turning into dog The
animals ears some time ago began to
grow, and are now 3 inches i'll lenglh,
while its hair has diminished until it
resembles the coat of dog. If the
transition keeps up the cat will in a
short time become diminutive hound in
appearance.

and only now has the owner commenced
