All Coons Look Alike to Him.

When the Minneapolis Keystones
struck town last Monday they found
themselves with considerable unoc-
cupied time These leisure hours
they concluded could be spent with
profit fishing on the banks of the
placid Volga. While in some re-
spects this is commendable recre-
alton, there are times when it does
not exactly comply with the law and
when one of these shady gentlemen
captured a fish SO small that it was
barely visible to the naked eye
Mayor Bronn interposed "a strenuous
objection and demanded that the
miscreant appear and account for
this breach of law This was all
right and the offender was willing to
comply, but requested that he be al
lowed to change his clothes and 9TH

the matter took a more serious as

identified with sufficient certainty to
warrant his arrest.-Fayette Report

An Eight Pound Colt Born.

What is probably the smallest liv-

this part of the country can be seen
most any day now at the Chambers
Vile stock farm near Bartlett, in the
shape of a tiny shetland pony colt,
which at its birth a few days ago
weighed but eight pounds. Although
the little animal is not much for
size, Mr.. L. Chambers, proprietor of
the farm, reports that it is as lively
as any colt on the place and bids
fair to thrive as well as the best of
them.

Horse Tin-Canned.

One OF the meanest tricks that has
been played at Nashua happened a
short time ago, when a horse was
most brutally used. A horse came
to the home of George Fisher, four
miles north of town, one evening,
and was nearly dead from fright and
torture when it reached there. Some
one had fastened tin washpan to
its tail, put a lace curtain around
its body and a hat upon it's head,
while paint had been put in its
eyes. The horse was about all in
when it reached Mr.. Fishers place.
Mr.. Fisher relieved the animals suf-
ferings as best he could and then
turned 1t loose. 1t is not known to
whom the horse belonged or who
did the contemplate act.
