SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM The Daring Pike. The bolduess of a pike is very ex traordinary. I have seen one follow & bait within a foot of the spot where I bave been standing, and the head keeper of Richmond park assured me that he was once washing his hand al the side of a boat in'the great pond in that park when a pike made a dar’ at it and he had but just time to with draw it. A gentleman now residing in Wey bridge, in Surrey, informed me that walking one day by the side of the river Wey near that town, he saw ¢ large pike in a shallow creek. He im medfately pulled off his coat, tucke¢ up his shirt sleeves and went into the water to intercept the return of the fist to ‘the river and to endeavor to throw it upon the bank by getting hls hands under it. During this attempt the pike, find ing he could not make ¢his escape selzed one of the arms of the gentle man and lacerated it so much tha: the wound took a month to heal— London Fishing Gazette. He Caught O’Connell. Daniel O’Connell, the famous orator when taking a ride in the neighbor hood of his house had occasion to ask an urchin to open a gate for him. The little fellow’complied with much alac rity and looked up with such an hon est pleasure at rendering the sligh\ service that O’Connell said: “When I see you again I'll give yot sixpence.” Riding briskly on, he soon forgot the Incident and fell to thinking of graver matters, when, after traveling some miles, he found his path obstructed by some fallen timber, which a boy wat stoutly endeavoring to remove. Or looking more closely he discovered I to be the same boy he had met in the morning. “What!” cried he. come to be here now?” “You said, sir, the next time you seen me you'd give me sixpence,” said the little fellow, wiping the perspira tion from his brow. “How do you The Very Thing. The old gentleman poked his nose it and out of the mysterious corners of the furniture shop. “By the way,” he said suddenly, “my daughter has just started to—er—have a young man come calling, and I sup pose I really ought to get a pretty sofs for them to make love on.” “Most certainly, sir!” responded the suave shopman. “And here, I think I have the very thing you need. It i called ‘Cupid’s Retreat’ and is spe clally suited for courting couples.” “Specially suited?’ repeated the old gentleman. “Well, what is its par ticular good point?” “Why, sir, the particular good poini is this—the pretty covering you see before you is guaranteed to wear off in just one year.” “And what on earth’s the use o1 that?” asked the old gent. “Why, sir, because it leaves dis played a card upon which are written the words, ‘Time to get married!’ Neat isn’t it?’—London Answers. Queer Virginia Oysters. But, sure enough, did you know thera were some oysters, and Virginia oys- ters at that, which cannot live always under sheets of water? The seaside oyster does not grow in deep water, say over ten feet, and the most and best of them grow in water so shoal that it is dry ebb half the time. These latter are the most prolific seed bear- ers we have, but they will die if planted in deep water or in the Chesa- peake bay. The inside or bay oyster should never ebb bare to thrive best. Singular, isn’t it, that the Virginia oysters, one and the same bivalves, can lead a double life, but only one phase of it at a time! The seaside fellow must be out of water a good portion of his time to thrive, while the bay and river fellow will die in sum- mer and freeze in winter if exposed to the air.—Virginia Citizen. The Roast. “To judge woman by her looks is to court error,” said a well known wo- man. “I know a man who while carving at a dinner wished to say something that would please the pale, deep eyed, splrituelle girl at his side. “‘How do you like Maeterlinck? he at last inquired. “ ‘Well done,’ she answered, not once lifting her eyes from the great roast he was working on."—Washington Post. A Difficult Case. A physician received late one even ing a note from three of his fellow practitioners: “Please step over to the club and Join us at a rubber of whist.” “BEmilie, dear,” he said to his wife, “here I am called away again. It ap- pears to be a difficult case—there are three other doctors on the spot al- ready.” New. “I want you,” said the stage man. ager, “to play the part of a banker, and I want you to try to play it with a touch of originality.” “All right,” responded Yorick Hamm, “I'll leave off the mutton chop whisk- ers.”—Kansas City Journal. The Difficulty. “Could you bring yourself to live in a flat on £4 a week?" “I could, Harold,” answered the pam- pered yet unspoiled darling. “But I do not_know just how it would suit my French maid.”—London Tatler.

SOULMATE WILL | FORGIVE BEATING Troubles of Much Discussed Pair to Be Adjusted. . ARTIST WEARIES OF JAIL Ferdinand Pinney Earle, After Sleep- Wife's Forgiveness and the “O Inal Affinity” Expresses a Willing ness to Overlook the Treatment Re- sulting in His Arrest. Monroe, N. Y., Aug. 27.—The trou- ‘ble between Ferdinand Pinney Earle and his “soulmate” wife, Julia Kuttner Earle, which landed the artist in jail on a charge of wife beating, gives promise of an early adjustment. Both Earle and his wife are said to be de: sirous of a reconciliation and it is not believed Mrs. Earle will consent to appear in court to press the charge on which he is held. Earle himself, who at first appeared to be opposed to any movement having for its object his release from jail, was said to'be in a different mood. He passed a sleepless night in the jail at Goshen and was constantly watched by guards, who JULIA KUTTNER EARLE. feared he would attempt to end his life. Later he broke down completely, wept and declared that he would at- tempt to gain his wife’s forgiveness. It was after news of Earle’s change in demeanor that his wife expressed a ‘willingness to overlook the treatment which resulted in her husband's ar- rest. The trouble between the couple arose because Earle had forbidden his wife to nurse their baby. It was last summer that Ferdinand Pinney Earle first came into public notice. At that time he startled the country by calmly announcing that he had urged his wife to go to her home in France and sue him for a divorce. He also stated that his wife had agreed to take this course in order to enable him to marry his “affinity,” Julia Kuttner. her children sailed for France. There Mrs. Earle secured a divorce. Earle and Miss Kuttner were then married. GIVEN AN OVATION. Mr. Bryan Visits the Place of His Birth. Salem, IIl, Aug. 27.—Upon his ar- rival here for a brief visit to the place of his birth William J. Bryan was ac- corded an ovation. Although the train pulled in at the early hour of 6:30 al- most the entire population of the city turned out to greet him. At the sta- tion he was met by Mayor Vaters and a reception committee of 200, over half of whom were mounted. During the parade through the streets the sidewalks from the station to the courthouse were lined with people, who cheered themselves hoarse. After the route of the parade had been cov- ered Mr. Bryan was conveyeéd to the home of some relatives, where he took breakfast and later held a recep- tion. Jordanville, N. Y., Aug. 27.—Pres- ident and Mrs. Roosevelt have arrived at Henderson House, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Robinson, to take part in the ceremonies of presenting a library to the village. The library building is a gift to Jordanville by Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, the latter a sister of the president, as a memorial to Mr. Robinson’s mother. Fifteen Will Be Deported.

MeAllister, Okla., Aug. 27.—One of the worst mine disasters in the his- tory ‘of this part of the Southwest oc- curred at Haileyville, fifteen miles east of here, when between twenty- five and thirty miners were entombed in the Hailey-Oklahoma coal mine No. 1, the result of a fierce fire which, it is believed, has shut off all means of escape. The men whose escape was shut off are all in the lower part of the mine. A telephone message from the scene statad the fire was burning so liercely that it was impossible for rescuers to enter the shaft and it was then believed the entombed men must surely be burned to death. All of the miners are foreigners. A number of miners working near the opening ‘managed to escape. Officials of the company declined to give out details of the affair and the actual loss-of life is not known. Barrel of Oil Exploded. The fire is said to have started soon after the day shift went to work. It appears that a barrel of oil caught fire and later exploded, spreading burning oil in all directions. The fire spread with such rapidity that the miners on the lower tiers were unable to reach the shaft and all escape was cut off. Soon after the fate of the entombed men became generally known crowds of wildly excited women and children, relatives of the unfortunate men, ap- peared at the mouth of the shaft. Their grief was pitiable. Their fruit- less cries for the entombed miners added -much to the confusion. Those who were able to reach the surface were greeted with shouts of joy. The officials of the company, aided by the mine bosses and others, Immediately set to work to rescue the men still in the mine. It was soon apparent, however, that none could enter the mine, as volumes of smoke began to pour from the openings. The mine is owned by Dr. D. B. Hailey of McAlester and is one of the biggest mining preperties in the state. |’ LANDS VERY DESIRABLE Further De(afls of Openlng of Rose- bud Reservation. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—The Rosebud Indian reservation lands, which under Building of all descriptions. — well assorted stock make your selection.
