Solid Facts,
Something In the Egg Line Which They
Found Hard to Beat.
A farmer came into a village
grocery in one of our Western States
and exhibited to an admiring crowd
an enormous egg about six inches
long. He had it packed in cotton
and wouldn't allow anybody to handle
it for fear of breaking the phenome
non. The groceryman examined it
with the rest, and, intending to chaff
the countryman, said :
" Pshaw ! I've something in the
egg line that will beat that."
" I'll bet you $5 you haven't," said
the countryman.
" Take it up," said the grocery
man and, going behind the counter,
he brought out a wire egg-beater.
" There's something in the egg
line that will beat it, I guess." said
he, reaching for the stakes.
"Hold on, there!" said the
farmer, "let's see you beat it," and he
handed it to the grocer.
The latter held out his hand for it,
but dropped it in surprise on the
counter, where it broke two soup
plates and a platter. It was of iron,
painted white.
" Some folks think they are tarna
tion cute," muttered the farmer, " but
'taint no use buckin' against solid
facts."

BRUIN INVADES A B0H00L.
Pretty Teachers and Pupils Climbed
Over Desks to Escape.
A big black bear invaded a public
school in Williamsport Friday after
noon and caused a stampede. The
schoolhouse is on the edge of a heavy
wood. The door stood open, when
the twenty pupils and Miss Mattie
Shearer, the teacher, were startled to
see the shaggy form of an inquisitive
bruin shuffle indoors.
There was a scamper over desks,
even the petite and pretty young
teacher forgetting her dignity in
climbing over the seats to liberty.
The door was pulled to after all had
gotten on the outside and two wood
choppers were summoned to dispatch
the bear. They fought the Dear with
axes and soon had the big fellow laid
out.
