in just the same kind Of a mess we
have time and again perdicted it
would get itself into.
Hold Peters, while crossing the
main street in front Of his residence
to the P. o. tother night to see if
there was any mail for him, being
as he expected a letter from a rel
alive in the West, which same he
had been expecting every day for
the past several months, but it has
never came. Well, as we was about
to say, Hold got half way across
the street when he slipped on the
ice, straining his ankle so that lie
can't scarcely walk, not to say any
thing of setting down on the
ground with SIGH concusshion that
Hold says he thort to goodness his
spinal collum would 60 clean up
through the top Of his head.
Instead of proceeding after his
mail as he had planned, Hold he
goes and hunts up Anne Hillyer,
and asks Anne what chanel there is
of bringing a damage suit against
the town. Law business with Anne
lately has been awful dull, and
Anne told Hold he thort he had a
terrible good chanel to get some
damages for being damaged so in
juriously, and advised Hold tc
bring suit without delay, SO Hod
he told Anne to 60 ahead and sue
the town and see what he could get
We have foresaw a calamity Of
this kind for 10 these many years

and wanted to sell them off before he
ordered any kerosene to sell which he
couldn't do il he had candles on hand.
AS soon as news spread that Hen
had got a new barrel OF kerosene there
was rush for the kerosene. Being
as Hen had not had time to tap the
kerosene barrel, there was no way to
draw it of, but he didn't like to keep
his customers waiting. so with his
characteristic enterprise he made up
his mind that he would siphon some
kerosene outen the barrel for them az
was in hurry, so he got long rub
Der tube and knocked out the bung of
the kerosene barrel and put one end
of the rubber tube into the kerosene
and put tother end into his mouth
and begin to pull for all he was
worth, to start the kerosene flowing
through the tube. All to once Hen
sucked about a quart of kerosene into
his mouth, which he swallered, before
he happened to think what he was do
ing.
Immediately he growed pale and Be-
gin to get deathly sick. Ham Peters,
who was one of them present, immedi-
ately run for Doc Livermore, while
other willing hands lead Hen into the
store and laid him down on the floor.
There they stood around him while he
was suffering and tried to comfort him
by telling OF cases where people had
swallered kerosene and died in dreadful
agony. Doc Livermore responded
promptly in about half hour and
when he heard what Hen had swallered
he said he didn't believe there was any
hope for him at all.
By this time Hen was so sick, he said
he didn't care if he did die. Docs
stunmick pump was outen order, be-
ing as the last horse Doc used the
stunlnlick pump on, bit the nozzle of,
so Doc told Hen he could not do
nothin for him. and for him to bear
up and be game to the last
Along towards afternoon Hen feit

60 to bed. Doc cushioned him not
to 60 near any flame or any lamp that
was lit or to strike a match to light
his pipe or anything like that, because
il he did his breath was likely to ketch
fire and he would explode internally
and die As we 60 to press, Hen is
much better and IS back to work at
the store.
Doc told Hen that his regular bill
in a case of this kind would be s. but
being as it was Hen he would charge
him only Is cents for medical services.
Hen told Doc to go to blazes, because
he didn't give him no medicine, moth
ing but advice, and that he could get
all the adxic he wanted any time free
gratis for nothing.

Hold he rose up from where he had
been flung into the snow and felt his
self all over very carefully, to axcer-
tain il possible if he had had any bones
broke. Hank couldn't scarcely believe
he was alive, until he had pinched his
self in two or three places so hard
that he exclaimed, "Ouchr' When he
found that he wasn't dead, Hank went
at it and gave expresshion to the worst
stream of profanity which Hold who
had arrived On the spot. said he ever
heard come outen a mans mouth. Hold
told Hank he thort it was all a good
joke, but Hank resigned from his Job
on the spot and after Hod paid him
off, up to date, Hank walked to Bing-
vile in deep disguest.

Hen Smiley while saving ice or
Snake Creek last week sawed through
the ice and into his boot, but fortu.
nately not hurting his foot. Better
watch what you be doing when YOU
saw ice hereafter, Hen.
We had expected to be able to pub
lish a pome or two from Miss Sally
Hoskins, our accomplished pome writ,
.er before this, but things has beer
against Sally. First she had pneu,
ralgia in her face and who can write
PONIES when they have newraIgia If
their face we ask? Then later a boi
come On her neck and she just had tc
lay aside her inspirashion because The
boil panied her so. Sally said it WASH,
any use for her to try to think up any
beautiful thorts with that boil there
AS a result Sally hasn't been doiae
much versifying of late.
Ras Slocomb is out again after sew

Mrs. Hester Beebe. walked in from
Sorrow Hollow last week. with q bas-
ket<of eggs to trade at Hen Weathers.
by's store and when she arrived Hes
ter was disguised to find that the eggs
was froze and that she had too al.
most. Hen refused to buy the froze
eggs, and as result Hester had to
lug them back home with her, which
was a awful disappointment.

he really has been damaged, becuz
that's the way folks do whenever
they bring a suit against town or
corporashion. AS for Anne Hillyer,
of course he don't care who wins
the suit. becuz he will get his pay
outen Hold, and will do all he can
to egg Hold on, as Anne always does
when he sees a chanel of making
any money-that's the way Anne
Hillyer makes living in the law
business. What does Anne care
if he breaks UP families and dis
rupts homes and makes nabers
! mortal enemies? He don't care
nothing.
This damage suit is awful
calamity at Bingville during the
present time, becuz as we go to
press there amt but seven dollars
and IA cents in the town treasury,
and there is some doubt whether
all of this amount belongs to the
town or not, being as one of the
Selectrnen has a bill Of expense
against the town for IS cents, which
he says he paid out of his own
pocket for the good of the munich
pality.
Be that as it may, the residents
Of Bingville will all with one accord
learn that Hold is going to bring a
suit against Our enterprising village
with pain and anguish, beeuz they
will realize that this will make
Bingville the laughing stock Of
Hardscrabble and all surrounding
towns, which never lose a chanel
to poke fun at US.

PLEA FOR COUNT DE LASSY
Counsel Attempts to Throw the
Blame on DR.. Pantchenko.

St Petersburg. Feb 14.--Counsel for Count
0 Brien de Lassy presented to-day his ar
CUment on behalf Of his client, who Is
charged with the murder OF Count Nassili
Bouturin. jointly with Dr. Pantchenko and
Nine. Muravietf. He said that tho public
had clamored numerically for q verdict
against De Lassy. whereas the court was
expected TO be lenient with Pantchenko. on
account Of his senility. and with Nine.
Nursvief on account of her sex. The whole
Sc against De Lassy. he said. was based
on HIS debts. but there was a wide differ
ence between commercial shortcomings and
murder.
The counsel argued that only the stimuli
tapecus poisoning Of General Bouturlin and
his son could have been advantageous 70 De
Lassy: otherwise the general might have
left his property to his sons widow. He
pointed out also that his client was on
good terms with Count Vassil Pantchenko
had stepped in and planned 10 hlackmail
Count de Lassy. and therefore might have
poisored Bouturlin on his ou'n account
and at his own risk He submitted tnat
the evidence and medical conclusions pre-
gented before the court were exceedingly
weak and that incontrovertible proof vas
lacking. Hence he asked for the acouittal
Of De Lsssy.

sleep, eat or drink until the order OF the
Holy Synod had been rescinded. Thousands
of persons were cooped in the church.
where a service with lighted candles con-
tinues unlnterruptedly day and night.
Many Of the worshippers were on the point
of suffocation when the priest submitted.

,e07 he vas credited with leading the Black
Hundreds. the lower class OF the reac-
tionary forces. in Voronezh Province. He
is bitterly anti-Seniuc and patriotic IN a
degree that has been described as insanity.

among whom he ministers but frequently
has received marks Of favor from Emperor
Nicholas
