FREAKS OF A RIVER.
A Stream So Crooked That II Double
Crosses Itself.

A Stream So Crooked That It Double
Crosses Itself.
There is stream In Massachusetts
called the North river 1t starts in
pond near Hanson and runs to the sea
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate, and the river
is forty miles long
This river is probably the most re-
markable body of water, barring the
Dead sea, on this footstool and has
stood more abuse and bad language
than the Chicago river. When the tide
is coming in the river runs upstream,
and not only that, but the upper part
of it, which is fresh water, also runs
up, and the spectacle of fresh water
river beating it uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself. But there is
much more to it than that
The North river is noted for being
the scene of the last Indian raid on the
coast settlements. 1t is notable for
having given birth to the ship Column
bia, whose captain discovered and
named the Columbia river, and was
the first American vessel to circum-
navigate the world 1t is notorious for
having suddenly changed its mind on
its course on the night of Nov. p, 1898.
when it moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town of
Marshfield with a deep harbor. killed
three men and converted about 100000
acres Of prime meadow land into salt
marsh.
But the chief thing about this river
is its crookedness This river is so
crooked that it double crosses itself.
If you don't believe it go and see.
There is one place in Hanover where
by making three loops the river moves
toward the sea for a distance of al
most fifty feet and meanders about
for fifteen miles in doing it.-Boston

The cowboys took to 'mavericking' on
their own account. Some of them had
the grace to go into partnership with
some farmer and so claim q small
bunch of cows. but others suddenly
ana mraculously acquired herds of

law they passed to violent methods.
They slit the tongues of calves for the
purpose of separating them from their

No; your father up to this time had
