Dennis, Mike and a Goat.

Dennis Kaliher and Mike Mahoney
are liable to become bitter enemies
and all on account of a pesky nanny
goat. The story runs as follows:
Dennis was visiting in the country
last week and when he arrived home
found that he was followed by
nanny goat. Not having any con-
venient place to put the goat he be-
thought him of Mike Mahoney.
"Shure," said he to himself, "Mike
will willingly pasture this gentle
little goat for me and without asking
a clint for its keep" So he started
for Mixes farm, followed by the goat.
Arriving there he made his mission
known and Mike was delighted to
take the "jintle little critter" into his
fold. "I'll come after it in week or
two," said Dennis. "All right" re-
piled Mike, ''the dear little fellow will
be company for me, Dinnis." And
Dennis returned to his home.
On Monday he went to Mikes farm
to claim the goat and found the ami.
NAL tethered to a fence by means of a
log chain. '''Tis me goat I want,
Mike, said Dennis. ''The divil you
do" calculated Mike. "Your
blasted goat has eaten up my Sunday
suit, two shirts and a pair of socks,
which I had on the line a-airin' and
drying. IT'S the likes of yez that will
not get that goat until I am paid for
the damages and dollar day for
board besides. A 'jintle' goat, eh?
Look at that log chain, me dear
Dinnis. You can't put up no such
practical jokes on Mike as this, me
boy. "Jintle,' what next?'' At this
point Dennis replied that he wouldn't
pay cent. ''You know, Nike" said
he, ''that you have been we'll paid for
the keep of the critter. You have
MIXED her and not only drank the
milk in your coffee but sold it to in
valids. And, gosh ding it, those old
clothes of yours were not worth 80
cints. Give me me goat instantly or
I'll go to law to recover it," Wait a
minute, Dinnis, until I return" and
as Mike rushed into the house for
shillelah Dennis made good his
escape and Mike, at last report, was
still in possession of the goat.

Automobile Good Roads club.

An organization of the automobile
owners of Cambridge has been formed
for the purpose of improving the
roads radiating from that village.
The roads leading into Cambridge,
especially from the west, will stand
considerable improving. The object
OF the association is a laudable one
and we wish it success in it's UNDER
taking. It might be a good idea for
the Automobiles of Princeton to imi-

brethren of Cambridge, st. Cloud,

QUICK WORK SAVESIT
Lightning Sets Fire to Residence but
Flames Are Subdued Before
Much Damage Results.
Asleep in Bed Narrowly Es.
cape Injury From Plasterlng
Which Fell From Wall.

During Friday nights storm, at
about $3.50 O'Clock, lightning struck
the r. S. Chapman residence and,
had it not been for the efforts of G. O.
Moore the FIRE resulting would prob
ably have got beyond control and
destroyed the building.
Mr.. Chapman was not at home at
the time and while the storm was in
progress Mrs. Chapman entered the
children's room to see that all was
we'll. She there discovered that
lightning had struck the top of the
window casing and set fire to the
woodwork. 1t had also loosened
some big pieces Of plaster, which fell
upon the pillows in the children's bed.
The little ones had fortunately
crawled toward the foot of the bed
and were uninjured- the falling of the
plaster did not even awake them from
their slumbers.
Taking the children and running
downstairs, Mrs. Chapman went out
side the house and called for help.
Mr.. Moore heard her and, picking up
bucket of water which was near, ran
to the house and threw it upon the
blaze. This had the effect of almost
distinguishing the fire as it had not
gained much Roadway. During this
time Mrs. Moore was not idle. She
stood in the downpour of rain pump
ing water, attired only in her night
robes, while her husband carried it
upstairs and threw it on the window
casing and down between the wall and
the plastering. Arthur Heath also
assisted and it took but short time
to put the fire out It was indeed
lucky that Mr.. Moore heard Mrs.
Chapman call, for the phones had
been put out of commission by the
storm. The damage to the building
is small.

all macadamized and as smooth as q
die, but it has, of course, taken CEN
turtles to bring them to this stage Of
perfection. Many of these roads have
rows of grand old elm trees on each
side, the branches of which meet in
the center and form natural arch of
foliage. And then there are the big
chestnut trees on the hillsides, now in
full bloom, which yield tons of nuts
yearly, most of which are allowed to
lie where they fall-no one considers
them worth gathering.
The cities of Massachusetts, are
centers of much activity body
seems to be hustling. There are
hundreds of factories of various
descriptions which give employment
to thousands of men, women and
children. The cities are veritable
beehives.
In his travels about the country
Mr.. Newbert was upon one occasion
taken for Taft. It was on the Fourth
of July and it occurred at Warren.
In honor of the day he had donned
his plug hat and frock- coat, and as
he alighted from the automobile,
wherein sat a liveried chauffeur, a
small boy Moderated, "There goes
Taft!" Other boys took up the cry
and in a very short time Henry was
surrounded by an admiring crowd
shouting ''Hurrah for Taft" He
took refuge in the postohice until the
police had convinced the multitude
that he was not Taft, when he rushed
for the machine and was driven swift
ly away.
Mr.. Newbert told US several good
stories of the trip in confidential
way which we dare not disclose.

change In the membership OF some Of the
