''Are you sure he is not afraid of any
thing?" insisted the man.
The dealer assumed an air of deep re-

THE GREEN KIND.

A naval officer who has seen consider
able service in South American waters
once brought home two parrots, one of
which he gave to the housemaid, and the
other to the cook.
For long time there ensued animated
discussions as to the merits of their re-

said:
"Your parrot may be better talker
than mine, though l don't believe it. -
Then, with an air of presenting the
final clinching argument in her own
favor, she added: Besides, you'll have

Fish are reported plentiful everywhere
on the Maine coast and this is true in
particular of the sardine herring, which
were so scarce last year. Capt. Elmer
Little of the schooner Storm King, who
has been engaged in carrying herring
from the weirs to the factories at the
eastward, says that the fish fairly fill
Bluehill bay, Penobscot bay and French
mans bay, and as seining is not allowed
the small herring are caught wholly in
the weirs, and there is said to have been
5000 bushels in one pound. Then the
waters from Seguin to Cape Porpoise
are reported to be full of menhaden, and

Los ANGELES, Calf, Thursday, Mr..
Siguard Russell, son of Mrs Richard
Hovey, widow of the poet, announced
today that he was going to marry next
week Miss Ruby Jester of Atlanta, Ga,
who will act as godmother at the christ
ening of new aeropane built by him.
He says he has known the young woman
but two weeks.
The matrimonial venture and the air
ship experiment both indicate that the
young man is one to take chances. 1t
would be hardly proper to say that he is
fooI-hardy.
Some people are making great cry
over the bringing of speakers from out
Of the State to advocate the temperance
cause. Yet that has always been done
IN political campaigns and we have never
heard any objections. Few, if any, of
our local speakers have lived in license
States, and as the real issue in this cam
paign is whether we shall have prohibi-
ton or license, it Is important that the
people should be informed as to the
working of the latter system, and the
unvarying testimony is that as rule
there are more illegal sales of liquor in
communities where the saloon is licensed
than where it is forbidden altogether.

PROSPECTUS OF A REAL ESTATE co
To Build Homes to Meet the Demand for
Rents by New Corners.


At meeting of the Board of Trade the
question of building houses to accommodate
the people that will necessarily come to Bel
fast for employment when the new industries
start operations was thoroughly discussed and
committee appointed to formulate some
plan to finance Real Estate Company.
In presenting the figures given in this pros
pectus the Committee feels very confident
that all the items have been treated conser-
vately and that the plan. as proposed, will
work out thorough business proposition.
The bonds of the corporation, issued at
about Is per cent of the cost of the houses,
are already underwritten and it remains for
the citizens to subscribe to the capital stock.
This stock will be issued in $1,000 shares SO
as to give all an opportunity to participate in
the work of building up Belfast, making it
bigger, better and buster.
From the figures following it will be seen
that this stock of $4,000 will be able to pay
dividends at the rate of 4 per cent per annum,
and as it is tax exempt in this city makes a
strong per cent investment.
The bonds will all be retired before the ex-
piration of eighteen years, when the stock.
holders will own free and clear $35 900 of real
estate for the $4,000 they invested eighteen
years before, and have received during that
time per cent for their money
1t is hoped by the committee that the citi-
zens will subscribe readily SO that operations

Crossed by the Corpse.

Most of Walthamstow is too modern
to have much mystery about it, but
the WalthamstoW strip" of Leyton
preserves the memory OF curious old
rule. Barely hundred yards broad
this strip of land. belonging to Wal
thamstow parish, ran right across Ley
ton from the lea to Snaresbrook, par
allel with the southern border of Wal
thamstow. How came Leyton to be
crossed by this alien strip? Leyton
it was said had once refused to bury
a body found in the lea; Walthamstow
came forward to do It, And in such
cases it was the rule that the volun-
teering parish might take from the
other as much land right through to
the other side as the men who carried
the corpse could cover walking in line
hand in hand arms extended. The
inconvenient result worried both par
ishes until the growth of population
made new parishes necessary-London
Chronicle.

He Worried the Judge.

A story was recently told OF the elder
Judge Peckham, father of the supreme
court Justice. In the early days OF
dentistry hickory plug was put into
the cavity to fill the space where a
tooth ought to be. This plug had to
be gently pounded into its desired po-
sition. The old judge was somewhat
addicted to strong language, and when
the dentist began his wor kthe judge
INDUCED in some classic comment. AS
the tapping of the plug continued he
threw all dignity to the four winds of
heaven, and his language became de-
cidedly "more forcible than elegant"
When, however, he arose from the
chair after what seemed to him an
interminablc period of agony he pulled
out all the stops in his vocabulary for
q grand climax. The impression on
his listener seems to have been deep
and lasting. AS the judge passed out
the dentist grimly remarked to wait
ing patient:
"Wasn't ii beautiful? 1t wasn't real.
" necessary to pound half so long,
but | did so enjoy his infection that |
almost pounded the hickory plug into
splinters Wonderful command of
language the judge has!'-Case and

STRANGE Storehouses.

In the old birds nests that are placed
near the ground in shrubs and small
trees close to haZelnut bushes and BIT
terswect vines one will often find
a handful of hazelnuts or bittersweet
berries. They were put there by the
white footed mice and the meadow
mice, which visit these storehouses reg
ularly. Very often white footed
mouse will cover a birds nest with
fine dried grass and inner bark and
make nest for itself.-New York
