 warm friend of the school, received a letter from n missionary among the Indians. stating that he sent on to be educated half-breed Indian, of fine talent and exemplary piety, named Carter expressing wish that he would become acquainted with him. An early acquaintance with the young man was accordingly sought by Mir. Bates, and greatly to his surprise and qualification, he discovered in him son of the long lost captive!

Fish by the WheeIbarrow Load
 Caught Every Day
 Somebody has made the decidedly tishy epigram that there's a sucker born every minute"-a birth-rate that would be made to look rediculous to anybody who will take the trouble to watch proceedings along the banks of the Blackberry river, near the Borden plant, where boys and men are yanking out suckers a foot and half long as fast as they can adjust their wires around the lazy fish and pull them ashore. So thick are the suckers, and so easy their capture that there's absolutely no sport about 1t, and mans catch is limited only to his carrying capacity.
 For the time being the thigh cost of living" has no terrors for Cauaanites who like suckers. In every direction men and boys are vending their way lugging great strings of big suckers, and one colored boy in about au hour snared a heap of suckers that he sold out in another hour. about town, for 5 DO, at 10 cents pound.

DENNIE'S EQUINE JUGGLER
That Wonderful Trick Horse Performs
 Surprising Feat.

That Wonderful Trick Horse Performs
 Surprising Feat.
 Donnie O'Neil's trick horse gave a farewell performance, in the rear of Vosburgh's store, a few days ago, and now he is being driven double, by new owner, over in the eastern part of the state.
 The animal had been hitched up, in the Vosburgh shed, while Donnie and Anne Beauion attended to some business about town. When they were ready to drive away, they united the horse, got into the buggy, and were about to start, when the animal happened to think of a new trick he had been studying over but hadn't had chance to practice on.
 Seeing there was going to be some thing doing, the passengers dismounted, one on one side and one on the other-lt hasn't been settled yet which got down first, but Donnie insists that he was the first one to get up on his feet after dis mounting, and that he started to help Anne up, but as the performance was in full swing by that time, gave all his at- tention to that.
 It was an old aud familiar trick the horse was doing, but new one for horse to tackle. It was simply jug glery feat. such as you've all seen aero bars do in the circus. The horse first laid down on his side, readjusting one wheel on its axle in the process; turned over on his back, aud with all four feet brandishing skyward, attempted to keep the buggy whirling over and over in the air, just as the circus Jap keeps a barrel whirling,
 The animal made poor work of it, but his marvellous intelligence in even at- tempting the feat elicited comments Of wonder and admiration from all the spectators excepting Donnie and Anne, who long ago got over being surprised at anything the horse took it into his head to do. After the horse got up and made his bow. they conducted him to a stall, swept most of the wagon up into a coFuer OI Lne ydiu, anu ""AA0A "H"J together to shake for the arnica.
 The next day strange man came to town, bought the horse and took him away of somewhere. It was reported that he was circus man and paid S00C for the horse, and Donnie doesn't deny it. It is reported also that he was a soap grease man, and that the price was $1.98. Donnie doesn't deny that, either.

The Versatile SchooI-Ma'am

It is related of Canaan school ma'a am who desired to impress upon tue memory of particularly obtuse pupil the name of the Dutch city of Rotterdam, that she finally hit upon the expedient Cf driving the lesson home with story. And being a resourceful young lady, had no difficulty in finding a story to fill the bill. It went like this:
 There was once a school teacher who detected one of her pupils in the act of eating candy during school hours, which was against the rules. She took away from the boy all the candy he had left, and proceeded to eat it, herself.
 The boy turned and whispered to his desk-mate: II hope it'll Rotterdam teeth out"
 The story had the desired effect, for whenever the obtuse youngster is asked the name of that particular Dutch city, he immediately thinks of candy and teeth-and there he has it.

No Win sted Sewer

After expending nearly S4,0O0 for plans and specifications for sewer system and disposal plant, the electors of Winsted at 8 special meeting, Thurs day evening, killed the project for the time being. A motion was passed adopting the proposed charter amend. ment, authorizing the construction of the sewer, etc., but by amendment it was further specified that the borough board should take no action relative to the construction of the sewer until authorized by a subsequent town meet ting. The meeting was one of the largest ever held in the borough and was marked by much oratory.

ARCHIE'S QUEER DOG
Won't Allow an Italian to Come on the Premises

Premises
 That famous dog of Archie Adams's is at home again, after brief sojourn among strangers up north. This IS the same dog, an attempt at whose descrip- tion was made in these columns some weeks ago, and whose genealogy read very much like combination census of a circus menagerie and an inventory of farm livestock, so many and so diVersi- fled were the strains of savage and do- mesticate blood that ran in his twisted veins, so versatile hIs accomplishments, and so varied his characteristics.
 The dog was sold-or disposed of in some way-to an Italian, something over a month ago but, like the cat in the song, he ''came back" after a few days, and settled down, at his old quarters, in matter-of- fact sort of way, just as if hadn't been away at all.
 Archie reports that the dog is appar- ently in every way the same, excepting for the fact that he has acquired very pronounced brand of race prejudice and operates under a perpetual declaration of war on Italy. Before he went away all men looked alike to him. but since his return he has taken a stand of un- compromising hostility to every Italian, male or female, that comes within range of his vision. He won't allow an Italian, native or American, born, to come on the premises, even with a passport and under flag of truce. Archie says he never saw such change in dog, and he doesn't know whether to raise the price on him, or take him out and shoot him.

Express Robbery on c. N. E.

GNpi CSS ANOOOClI OIl Os tNs @s
 An Adams express car, leaving Hart ford on the Central New England rail. road at 11:07 Wednesday morning was robbed while in transit some distance west of Poughkeepsie, and lot of valuable merchandise was taken. Some mystery surrounds the robbery through the fact that the express messenger was under the influence of liquor and the car was not broken into, but either the door was left unlocked or the thief was provided with key. Manager Charles B. Hall of the Hartford office said that the intoxication of the express messenger probably was only an incident and had nothing to do with the robbery. He was relieved at Poughkeepsie, and another man took his place. The robbery. is supposed to have occurred about forty miles west of that city.
 The robbery was not discovered un- til the car reached Weehawken, N. J. The car goes by the Poughkeepsie bridge and the New York. Ontario & Western route. When it reached its destination it was found that @ num- Der of trunks and suit-cases had been broken into and their contents scat tered about.

He had made such remarkable
showing for a youngster that Bill
Rourke of the Omaha Western league
club has already completed negotia-
tions for his purchase None of his
friends even dared hope. however,
that he would be able to even ap-
proach the wonderful record made in
the two previous games. Both per-
formances had been phenomenal and
lit was beyond belief that either could
be duplicated
Hollenbeck went into the fray, how
ever chocl1 full of confidence and in
perfect condition He had everything
that pitcher ever ssessed-curyes,
speed and control and wonderful
change of pace which he utilized with
marked effect. The Burlington slug
gers were equally as helpless as in
the two previous games.
| Only three men reached first base
during the game and none of these
came close to the counting station.
But five balls were hit outside the
diamond and these We're easy chances
for the outfielders. Bruggeman secur-
ed the only base hit of the game for
Burlington. The game ended with the
score to 0 in favor of Waterloo,
closing the series with three shutout
games and but two hits registered
against three pitchers.
OF the three pitchers that figured in
the great series, Ira Harmon never
returned to form. He developed a
sore arm at the start OF the next sea
son, and although carried on the pay
roll throughout the year, was practi-
cally useless to Boyle. The next sea.
son witnessed his retirement from
the game.
Hollenbeck went to Omaha at the
start of the season of 1903 and re.
manned with that club for three years
in the Western league. Waterloo had
secured a berth in the Three-I league
in the meantime. and at the start of
last season Boyle repurchased his
former star. He made wonderful
showing on his old stamping ground
