FIFTY DAYS FOR CASSIDY

James Cassidy who a few days ago made an assault upon Lewis Stewart at Rockers stables was tried before justice Johnstone on Thursday was convicted and sentenced to fifty days
 in the county jail. This is a rather stiff sentence for common assault
 but this was an unusual case. In the first place the assault was unprovoked and in the next it was so violent that the jaw of Stewart was broken.

Early Railroad Flisrs.

When the first passenger railroad svet built was opened in England fn 1925 the train travelled from one end of tho line to the other. a distance of twelve miles. in two hourA And Wood, one of tho best known writers on the subject of railroads at that day, wrote as follows:
 'Nothing can do more harm to the adoption of railways than the promul- gation of such nonsense as that we shall see locomotives travelling at the rate of twelve miles an hour."
 Today. with locomotives travelling at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour. one can look at Woods warning with a feeling of amusement. In 1929 a locomotive was introduced in this coun- try. and in the following year Peter Cooper experimented with a locomotive on the B. and o. railroad The fues Of the boiler were made from g,ln bar rels. The boiler was about the size of flour barrel Cooper related with considerable satisfaction how on the trial trip of this engine he passed a gray horse attached to a wagon.-New York World.

A es.xsr,s p.y's Work.

A young beaver in Regents psrk gardens, London, was once placed af work upon a tree twelve feet long and two feet six inches thick just as tbe town clocks sounded the hour of n5o1L The beaver began by barking the tree a foot above the ground That doses he attacked the wood. He voSked hard, alternating his labor with d1ps in his bathing pond He bathed and labored alternately until 4 ocsock In the afternoon, when he ate his supper of bread and carrots and padded sbouf in his pond until half past o'eBock. Ten minutes later, when only one fnra of the trees diameter remained infsef- he bore upon his work, and tbe free fell. Before it fell the beaver ran ss men run when they have fired a bssss. Then as the tree lay on the ground se portioned it out mentally and again beI gan to gnaw. He worked at fnteTvals all night, cut the log into three paris, rolled two of the portions into the wa- ter and reserved the other third Tor his permanent shelter.

A Shave Tn Chine.

The. Rev. Louis Byrde. missionary. gives an interesting account in Lon don paper of a shave in China. He writes: ''The greatest treat which only give on special occasions is a mid day shave in public. In the early morn ing Chinese inn is terribly dark, and at night bed soon claims one. I select a table at the street front (the whole front is formed of movable doors. which are entirely taken away during the day) and. provided with the neces- saries. commence operations. Fifty or sixty people stand round in ranks. the innermost circles consisting of children and the outer rings of men and mothers with their babes. Not a word is uttered: all eyes are fixed first on the sha wing brush as the soap is lath. cred on the face, and then on the razor as the stubble falls. The Chinese never shave themselves. and possibly to see a man handling razor on himself may suggest that he is about to commit harakir in their village"

Big Poker stakes.

Many stories of big poker games among the western cattlemen in the early days have been told. but this story of the game with probably the greatest stakes is really true. Two well known cattlemen of southwestern Kansas. one of whom is now a promi. nent business man in Kansas City, started to move their herds to the pastures of Wyoming. Each herd con- tained more than a thousand head of cattle. When they came to the cross ing of the Arkansas river near Coo lidge they found a flood on. They were unable to cross for two or three days. To while away the time the two men engaged in poker game. When the flood finally subsided so that the cattle could proceed one of the cattlemen said to his son, who was helping to drive. Just turn my herd over to our neighbor and we will go back home." He had bet and lost not only all the money he had. but all of the herd of cattle.-Kansas City Journal

Afterward the whole nine came. so there were nine princes, nine elephants. eighteen gold umbrellas and 360 soldiers.

Bueked the Tiger.

The forest land of southern India possesses a breed of buffaloes vastly superior to the ungainly creatures of the plains. They are shaggy haired and massive. with thick. short horns. and possess immense strength. A herd of these buffaloes was grazing when a tiger game out of the forest near by. The herdsman shouted. beat his stan on the ground and tried to scare away the brute. but it would not be scared and sprang upon him, knocked him down and stood over him snarling .He gave himself up for lost when the bull of the herd charged savagely upon the tiger and knocked him fully twen. ty feet. The attack was so sudden and the shock so great that it took all the fight out of the tiger. He gathered himself up in dazed way and actual ly slunk off into the forest The bull shook himself, beloved. pursued his enemy a few yards and then went quietly to feeding as if vanquishing a tiger were an everyday occurrence.

 Twenty four hours, easy," was the instant reply. "This is under war conditions, remember, which means that everything gives way to the movement of troops and their equip ment. The railroads of America can handle men and war material of all kinds, including everything from horses and men to cannon and rations. much faster than they can be assem- bied and delivered to us.

 'Sill. as the postmaster was able to remember just about what had been written on the postal card and told it to Lafe and then didn't shoot off enough of his ear to really affect the hearing it strikes me that the gov'ment was pretty considerable stringent, as you might say, about the matter."- Puck.
