Mr. McEvoy must also state which case he de.'-ires to go on trial first, fie deeded to proceed agaiimt Gainey bijfore Wright. The writ a^inst the latter will be i.S3Ued immediately.

Here i.s a timely schoolboy's composi- tion on winter ; " Winter ia the coldest sea.-on of ihe year, because it comes mosily iu the winter. In some countries winter comes in the summer, then it isn't so worse. I wish winturcamein summer in FIcsherton, then we could no tkating barefooted and make snowballs without getting our fingers froze. When it saows in summer they call it rain." A schoolboy in Jewtll City was assigned to prepare an ess.ay on the subject of "Ducks," and this is what lie wrote. "The duck ig a low, heavyset bird, com- posed mostly uf meat and feathers. He ia a mighty poor singer, having a hoarse voice caused by getting -so many frogs in his neck. He likes the water, and carries a toy balloon in his stomach lo keep him from sinking. The du;;k has only two legs, and they are set so far back ou his runninsj gears by nature tliat she came purty near missing his body. Some ducks when they geojold has curls on their tails, and are called drakes. Drakes don't have to set or hatch, but just lloat 2o swiniming, and eat. It I was to be a duck I'd rather be a drake every time. â€" Kansas City star. TloronglM Mlm Ball CIFSY LAD - - NO. 38916 Will stand for ihe sorvica ot cowa for the year 1804.
