Miss Anna Kane, who has been stop­ ping with h3r aunt, Mrs. John Carey, for a few weeks, has returned to her home at Terra Cotta. Some time ago a man by the name of Johnson entered the employ of Harry Peet as an all-round mechanic. In the course of time Johnson purchased the stock and good will of Mr. Peet and launched out as a blacksmith, horse shoer, wagon maker, in tact he would undertake anything and everything that came along, from repairing a Waterbury Watch to making a locomotive euginp. As a side issue he became a dealer in bicycles, and to more easily sell a wheel he rode his sample around town and demonstrated that the wheel was a flyer. After selling several wheels for the Mil­ waukee firm, Johnson disappeared. He left word that he was going to camp meeting but neglected to state where the camp was located.

This is the verbatim report of an in­ tensely interesting dialogue which took place between two guests at a recent uptown dinner party. It began with soup. "Yes," Baid^ one, "I call any stand­ ard wheel a'good wheel." "What's your test for a standard wheel?" inquired the other. "Well, I don't meau a cheap wheel." "Oh! Your idea is that awheel is all right if it cost $100?" . v : "I didn't say so." , ' • • "What did you gay?" < "I said that a standard wheel ought to be all right." "You ride a Boomerang, don't yon?" "Yes, and it's a good wheel." "Huh! I wouldn't give it house room. Why' didn't you trade it for a Dodo?" "A Dodo? I wouldn't have a DodO on the premises. The Dodo uses the Flimflam tire." . - "It's the best tire made. I wouldn't trade a Flimflam for a stack of Goo- goos." "I don't use a Googoo. I use a Hew- gog." "A Hewgog? Ha, ha! That's worst tire made." "Oh, is it?" "That's what I said." "Well, I'll tell you what you You are a word that rhymes with --that's what." "And I tell you what you are. are a word that rhymes with gas--that's what." "Gentlemen, gentlemen," cried frightened hostess. Then they glared at each other and proceeded with their dinners.---Cleve­ land Plain Dealer. the are, tire You the The Silver Dollar, Most men generally have a couple of silver dollars in their pocket, but there are few of them who are acquainted with the full design on the face of these coins On the obverse face of the dollar, turned upside down, directly under the date, will be seen the profile of George III; a little,, to the left the head and mane of the British lion; just to the right the profile of Diaraeli--which makes the fullness of the cap of the Goddess of Liberty; in the cap is the thistle of Scotlaud, the sham: rock of Ireland and two sprouts of the wheat of America, and all surrounded by 13 stars representing the original states of the union. So, you see, the designer drew on several foreign nations for a coin that is used by the descendants in America of all those nations -- Quincy Whig. A French Dog Story. The Ganlois tells the following story of an intelligent French poodle: "A blind beggar was in the habit some years since of frequenting the Pont des Sts. Peres/where he used to station him­ self with a clarinet and an intelligent poodle. The place was well chosen, and charitable contributions poured into the little wooden bowl which the dog held in his mouth. One day the blind man, who had reached an advanced age, was not to be seen. He had fallen ill, in fact, and was unable to pursue his avo­ cation. His faithful companion, how­ ever, continued to frequent the accus­ tomed spot, and the passers by to whom he was familiar understood that his master was unwell, and, touched by the dog's fidelity, dropped their pence into his bowl in increased numbers. After a time the beggar died, an event which the wily poodle kept carefully to him­ self until he also became an absentee from the Pont des Sts. Peres. His dis­ appearance produced a great sensation among his numerous clientele, and a search was prosecuted, when the poor animal was found lying dead in a cel­ lar near his former master's abode, sum of 20,000 francs in bonds of the Orleans railway being discovered under the litter on which he was stretched. The Horse Business. The last six months, says an exchange, has witnessed a slight improvement in the horse market and the certain pros­ pect is that it will continue until in a few years the price of good horses will be something like it used to be btfore the market, suffering to some extent by the displacement of horses by cable and electric power for street railways, and by the bicycle, became overstocked. The supply has begun to fail. In the last three years not one colt was raised where formerly there were five. It t»kes time to raise a five year old horse for the mar­ ket, and some of these fine days the farm­ ers, who are now neglecting to raise col* s will see where they made a mistake. Without a Light. A small boy cyclist was riding with­ out a light and was stopped by a park officer, who asked him in gruff tones where his light was. "Why, it's here," exclaimed the rider in surprise. "Yes, but it's out," solemnly assert ed the patrolman. "Well, it was lighted at that last turn." "Sonny, it's cold; couldn't have been lighted this evening," triumph­ antly announced the officer, "Huh! That thin metal cools in a minute. I'll light that lamp and wait until it gets redhot, put it out, then ride to the next corner and back, and when I return it'll bo cold." "All right; try it," assented tho acute policeman. The b0y lighted the lantern, waited until it grew redhot, turned it out and started, and that kid is going yet.-- Philadelphia Press. Food Products. Boiled peanuts are a favorite dish with the Chinese. An attempt has been made in this country to cook and dry peanuts and grind them into a flour. Bread n^ade from peanut flour is said to possess especial value to diabetic pa­ tients. There is little doubt that we still slight many useful food products The several mycological clubs which ex­ ist to disseminate a knowledge of the eatable fungi that abound in our fields and woods have been sufficiently suc­ cessful to show that movement in such directions is quickly encouraged, but we have much more than mushrooms at our hands that can be made available. Ital­ ians make a most palatable flour or meal out of chestnuts and alsp from some species of acorns.--New York Post. The Eyes. When awaking in the morning, do not rub the eyes. Indeed, one ought never to rub or press the fingers against the eyes. If they feel at all irritable, sponge them with cold water. Cold water has a most benefioial effect upon the eyes, and the strongest will find it good to daily bathe the eyes in cold wa­ ter. This invigorates them and helps to keep them in good working order. But it must be remembered that quite cold water should only be used when the body is at a moderate temperature. When one is very heated or warm, the chill must be taken off the water to avoid any sudden shock.--Philadelphia Ledger. Methuselah's New Acccoinplishment. "Did you know, children, that Me­ thuselah completed nine centuries?" asked the Sunday school teacher. "Didn't know they had bikes in those days," came from oue of the bright ones.--Yonkers Statesman. m • • ' • The Tribunes. ' The Chicago Tribune publishes a let­ ter from a correspondent who says that the first pap** called The Tribune was published in Portsmouth, O., and was known as Tba Scioto Tribune. Com­ menting on this, The Tribune says;. "The writer unquestionably malseif out a valid claim for The Sdioto Tribune as the first of the Tribunes, though it was named for Rienzi, Bulwer's hero, the last of the tribunes. v "Still, there is not ground for tho slightest belief, that the name applied to the Portsmouth paper ever met the eyes of Mr. Greeley before he estab­ lished The Daily Tribune in New York in 1841. Nor was it seen by Edward J. Ryan when he established The Weekly Tribune in Chicago in 1839. It is only fair, however, to say that Mr. Hamilton first applied the Bnhver name to aa American weekly paper. .Mr; Greeley is entitled to the credit of first applying it to a daily, semiweekly and weekly pa­ per, which caused hundreds of others to use the same title, though it is also true that Mr. Ryan used it first in Chicago and in any state west of Ohio and for two years before Mr. Greeley employed it in New York. "The Portsmouth paper may claim the name by right of original discovery. In line of descent The Tribunes are Tho Scioto Tribune, Ryan's Weekly Chicago Tribune,' ihe New York Tribune and the present Chicago Tribune." Self Reliance. your own battles, my young Fight friends, for in this way will you rise to the grand conviction that honor is to be preferred to lifa The craven hearted never understand this, Their timidity causes them to shrink from exposure to pain, and to them the most sacred of all duties is to take care of their precious persons. If they run behind their moth­ ers' aprons whenever there is danger or whenever it is imagined, and if they put their big brothers perpetually be­ tween themselves and assailants they will probably not be too nice on the sub­ ject of integrity in future years. Youth of today, a new century will be yours tomorrow. In a few more years its light, that shall fall on our graves, will shine on your upward and onward path. But if you wrould be equal to its opportunities and rewards get rid of your timidity now. Arm yourselves with courage and strike down the evils and foes that are ambnshed in souls. Spare not yourselves. See that treason lurks'not in the citadel. Then array your resources, the strength of your intellect, the vigor of your will and the unfaltering loyalty of an honest purpose against corruptions, supersti­ tion and the debauching of the pnblio intellect. Whatever may be the cost, whatever of immediate sacrifice or of suffering, do your duty, confident that God will defend the right.--Dr. George C. Lorimer. Just as a Hint. "John," she said thoughtfully, "to­ morrow is the birthday of that little Jones boy next door." "What of it?" he demanded. "Oh, nothing much," she replied, "only I happened to recall that Mr. Jones gave our Willie a drum on his birthday." • > \ "Well, do you think I feel under any obligations to him for that?" he asked irritably. "If you do, you are mistak­ en. If I Owe him anything, it's a grudge." * "Of course," she answered sweetly. "That's why I thought that perhaps you might want to give the Jones hoy a big brass trumpet." "The most resourceful woman in the world!" he exclaimed delightedly, and the Jones boy got the trumpet.--Chi­ cago Post. j The Turkey Buzzard. Some one has taken tho trouble to search out an attribute of beauty in the common and repulsive looking bird known as the turkey buzzard. His flight is said to be the perfection of aerial navigation, and the manner ia which he floats upon the still, soft air of the southern climes is a dream of grace and loveliness. But when ho alights, poetry takes its flight, and the marvelous soarer is found to be tho homeliest and most unattractive of birds. His tastes are low, for he is * natural scavenger, and as such there is a law that prevents his being shot. Ho is bald, scraggy, rusty looking, awk­ ward and repulsive. Pride seems to have been left out of his natnre, and his manners are simply atrocious. No self respecting bird will associate with him. Where He Stood Out. One day at a dinner party, Thomas Raikes tells us in his diary, John Wil­ son Croker, who was nothing if not dogmatic, flatly contradicted the old Duke of Wellington about some incident in the Waterloo campaign. The duke gave up the point courteously. Shortly after the discussion fell upon percussion , caps, and Croker again flatly contradict­ ed the hero of Waterloo. "My dear Cro­ ker," said the duke, "I can , yield Jfco your superior information on most points, and you may perhaps know, a great deal more of what, passed at Wa­ terloo than myself, but as a sportsman I will maintain my point about the per­ cussion caps."
