ville Intelligencer, Is given ns follows : It
has heavy overlapping ridges of llcsh about
tho eyes; a broad list nose; damp clammy
lips, from which protrude long curved
tusks; enormous flabby cars; bunches at
the top of the forehead from which, on
each side, sprout horns. Instead of hands
it lias tho most terrible clawa, split hoofs,
and a tail two feet In length, making ono of

When tho Benton fair was drawing to a close
Friday afternoon a man In a buggy drew
up nrar tho fenco on the north side of tho

him. Ho then proceeded to cheat as many
people in the crowd ns ho could out of their
money. Beginning by selling cuff buttons
at twenty-five cents each, and giving tho
buyers their money back, ho next proceeded
to sell a fine gold chain for CO cents. He
sold probably ten or fifteen dollars worth
of theso, aud showing a fine gold watch,
tying It up In tissue puper and attaching or
pretending to attach it to ono of the chains,
offered to sell the chain with "what was
on the end of it for ono dollar. He sue-
ceeded In selling a number of theso; ono
or two of the first purchasers obtained a
watch that would go, but tho remainder
received tho chain with an empty metal
case. He succeeded In currying away from

Everybody Is tho boss nt a fire. Tho great
fault lies In the fact Hint the rules govern-
log tho department provide for rotation In
tho oflico of Chief Engineer, so that no
man can filll the place but a year. Tho Chief
Engineer should bo selected solely with
reference to his qualifications for tho placo
and ho should bo retained in offlco so long
as ho will perform tho duties. What Is
needed Is a man who will keep up tho or
ganization, look after tho property of tho

of the department are a part of tho town
laws, and lmposo duties upon the council
that have seldom if ever been performed.
