In June.
The birds come back to their last year's neat.
And the wild rose nods in the lane;
And gold in the east, and red in the west.
The sun bestirs him again.
The thief beo rifles the jasmine flower.
And the breeaes softly sigh
Fur the Columbine in my lady's bower.
And then at her feet they die.
And all the pomp of the June is here—
The mirth and passion and song;
And young is the summer, and life is dear.
And the day is never too long.
Ah! birds come b&ok to their last year's nest.
And the wild rose laughs in the lane;
But I turn to the east and I turn to the west-
She never will come again.

About to Sue.
A man who lets out dress suits at two
dollars per night threatens to go into
court and sue for $702 for the use of a suit
that couldn't have cost more than twenty
in the first instance.
This is how it happened. A member
K)f an arctic expedition, encamped just
[now, or supposed to be, somewhere with
in gunshot of the north pole, was ten
a reception by some friends 011 the ,
before his departure. He secured
of patent leather shoes, a clean
and a satin necktie from some-
Hhere or other, but the dress suit he
hired from the agent referred to.
Next morning the explorer's mother
jacked the suit in his Saratoga trunk,
Hfc knowing that it wasn't his, and he
P&ok it up to the north pole with him.
It has been used doubtless at the prin
cipal blubber feeds and walrus hunts to
impress the natives.
But the dress suit loaner wants two
dollars a day for every day he has been
deprived of the use of the clothes, and
by the time the explorer gets back the
bill will be $792, thirteen months being
the length of his absence. A deep legal
question will doubtless arise, but the
agent is firm and says that he means to
get his rights.—New York Herald.
A Duel Nipped In the Hud.
A duel between two young men has
been nipped in the bud at Buena Vista,
Va., by Mayor White. Mr. J. G. Seay j
sent a challenge to fight a duel to Mr. [
Edmund Randolph. Young Randolph
paid no attention to the challenge and a
second challenge was sent by Seay.
Young Randolph referred the corre- j
spondence to his friend, Mr. R. B. Wil- [
liamaon, and before any details could be i
arranged the police arrested Seay, who
was carried before the mayor and bailed j
to appear at the next term of the cor
poration court. Young Seay is about
twenty years of age and was educated
at the Virginia Military institute. Mr
Randolph, who Is about twenty-one, is
teller in the First National bank.
Both young men are highly connected !
and respected. The difficulty was caused
by a misunderstanding between the ;
young men as to an engagement, Seay ,
claiming that Randolph purposely avoid- !
ed him and thus treated him disrespect- j
fully. No further trouble is apprehend
ed.—Richmond Dispatch.
Arizona's Great Irrigation Canal.
Yuma's great canal is the most gigantic
irrigation enterprise as yet taken In hand
in Arizona. To tunnel througli a hill or
mountain side so as to take the water of
the Colorado without damming the
stream, which is the present plan and
that recommended by the English irri
gation engineers, then to bring the water
down on both sides of the river, with an
aqueduct across the Gila, so as to irri- j
gate the 2,000,000 acres of rich land lying |
adjacent to Yuma, in Arizona, Cali
fornia, Sonora, Lower California; in
fact, to build this canal ninety miles in
length, 100 feet In width at the bottom
and twelve feet deep, is not the work of
an hour nor the task of a child, and yet
this Is but the outline of this great work,
all of which is going to be done, and
that, too, in tho near futuro.—Philadel

Etruscan Legends.
Legends about the Etruscans are nu- |

the subject in a voluminous work on
Etruscan legends. For years he has
passed his summers in Italy in the old
Etruscan country, wandering among the
peasants and collecting their stories.
Their customs and superstitions date

Digging Old ISOIICH In London.
The digging up of mammoth remains '
in the heart of London seems incongru- 1
ous, yet this has just been done by the j
workmen on a sewer, who at the depth I
of twenty-two feet from the surface
came upon remains of a mammoth and
other prehistoric animals. Two large

AgaliiNt a Massachusetts Ruling.
The officers of the Illinois Humane so
ciety detailed to prosecute the partici
pators in the tame fox hunt at Fail-land
are much disturbed over the methods of
| legal procedure in Douglas county. The
action against the fox hunters was called
before Justice Lamb at Tuscola. Wit
| nesses testified before a jury that a tame
| fox had been chased by the defendants
| and their hounds and had been caught
and torn to pieces by the latter. Attor
ney A. W. Thomas, of Chicago, cited a
! Ma-ssachusetts decision sustaining the
position of the Humane society, which,
while not donying the right of men to
liunt and kill wild foxes, held that a
] tame fox, cared for in captivity by man
from the time it was only a few days
old, is a domestic animal.
C. W. Wolverton, of Tuscola, attor
ney for the defendants, then addressed
the jury. He troubled himself but little
about replying to arguments of the Chi
cago lawyer, but the fact that a Massa
chusetts decision had been cited se
verely wounded his local pride.
J "Gentleman of the jury," he said,
I "we are residents of the state of Illinois
in the glorious west—wild and wooly, if
; you will—where each man is an inde
pendent American citizen. What is
j Massachusetts? An alien common
wealth. It is Massachusetts. Why,
gentlemen of the jury, on Boston com
mon today witches are burned at the
; Btake, and if a man is found outside of
a church Sunday he is placed in a lock
up. What has Massachusetts to do with
us? We are American citizens and
I we want to chase foxes and we chase
foxes."
| After hearing which the twelve good
men and true of Tuscola rendered aver
' diet for the defendants. The Humane
society had hoped to make this a test
case under the state laws, which pro
vide that any person guilty of "tortur
ing any animal" shall be subject to a
i fine of not more than S2OO. The Mas
sachusetts decision was directly in point,
and although the justice before whom
the action was brought was manifestly
I impartial, the jury, which was composed
\ largely of friends of the defendants,
rendered a favorable decision on the
I question of law impossible.—Chicago

Ililllurdg Without Hull*.
I According to an eye witness a peculiar
incident happened one evening recently
j in the billiard room of a hotel at Tacoma,
Wash. The room was crowded and all
of the billiard and pool tables were oc
cupied but one. Two gentlemen en
tered the room attired in full evening
dress. Engaging a billiard table the
j boy brought the balls, but the players,
! to his utter astonishment, told him they
did not need them. Removing their
; topcoats, coats and hats, they took cues
and commenced a mimic game,
j They made the customary moves
around the table, studied apparent
| plays, made the usual grimaces at
| misplays, and regularly counted their
j strings. A wondering crowd gathered
■ about them. They thought the men
were crazy. A funny part of it was
j that they never smiled, took the "guy
| ing" of the crowd serenely and, when
the points were marked up, paid for the
game and unconcernedly walked out.
The solution of the mystery was that
l the imitation game was played on a
; wager.—Chicago Times.

An Electric Experleuce.
I In Devonshire, England, one day re
cently, a party of young people were
overtaken by a heavy shower of hail
stones which lasted about ten minutes,
and during that time they felt as though
highly charged with electricity. The
ladies of the party felt as though ants
j were running among their hair, which
I was fastened up with steel hairpins,
j One of the gentlemen held his hand to
the head of one of the others and at once
the hair stood on end. This was done
several times with the same result, and
for two or three days afterward their
heads felt the effects of the electrical
j whipping.—London Letter.

Ghost. mounted on I'onleu.
Lately Cupertino has been visited by
some spooks, or ghosts, or specters, or
something of that sort. At least, sev
aral reputable citizens so declare. On
their first appearance your correspondent
was in San Francisco, and, of course,
when told of the apparition, not having
convincing proof, remained silent, but
on Saturday evening he saw with his
#wn eyes the apparitions, and this is
what he saw: Five figures dash by on
horseback at a mad pace; two were fe
males and three were males. One of
the males, who evidently was the leader,
was a giant in size and was mounted on
an immense charger. He was dressed
In martial array and was of commanding
mien. His companions I did not notice
so closely, but they were all mounted on
Indian ponies, and, as near as I could
tell, his male companions wore no uni
forms. The females had their long hair
flying wildly about their faces, but from
what glimpses I did get I should say
they were Indians or Mexicans. Several
others saw them, and some say they
gave unearthly yells or warwhoops
whenever they saw any one. This is
their second visit, and as yet no one is
able to explain the mystery.
Joe Kelly, an old settler, who resides
on Stevens creek, tells a legend about an
American soldier who was lured to his
death by a beautiful Indian maiden, the
daughter of a chief of a tribe which
once owned the country around Cuper
tino. Mr. Kelly claims that these appa
ritions were often seen around here in the
forties and early fifties and says their
present activity is caused by their rest
ing place being disturbed by some of
the buildings that have lately been
erected. 11l the fight that took place
when the soldier found he was betrayed
before the Indians killed him, two braves,
his treacherous sweetheart nnd another
Indian maiden met their doom; hence
the five specters that are now disturb
ing our peace.— San Jose (Cal.) Mer

A Freak Egg.
Farmer Corseglia, of south Jersey, has
a rather neat thing in the way of freak
eggs, the production of one of his Cochin
hens. What the hen tried to do was to
lay two eggs at once, but she only par
tially succeeded. Having produced one
complete egg correct in size and shape,
she managed, in trying instantly to dupli
cate it, to inclose it in a flexible sack of
semiopaque skin, which also contained
the complete yolk and white of another
egg. The effect was therefore that of a
hard egg and an egg that has been
dropped out of its shell, both inclosed in
a seamless bag about four inches long
and two inches wide.
After accomplishing this very unusual
feat Farmer Corseglia's Cochin hen
raised such a disturbance in order to
call attention to hor achievement that
she was set upon by half the feathered
inhabitants of the barnyard and forced
to roost on the henhouse roof to escape
their jealous wrath. The row having
attracted a farm hand's notice, he in
vestigated the cause and the Cochin's
prize production was carefully placed in
a cigar box filled with bran and taken
to Farmer Corseglia.—Philadelphia Rec

The Fatal Thirteen.
Nov. 29, 1801, F. C. Cole, an old sol
dier, died at the county hospital. A few
veterans went to the hospital through a
driving snowstorm to give him a sol
dier's burial. The ceremony was sim
ple and none but the veterans were
present to do honor to the dead man.
As they left the cemetery a superstitious
comrade found that he was one of a
party of thirteen. He doclared at once
that some one of the number would die
within the coming year. "I dont know
who it will be," he said, "but the sign is
certain." "I know," said Captain J. S.
Jones; "it will be you, Hall," and ho
pointed to Lieutenant A. D. Hull. Re
cently twelve of those who attended
Comrade Cole's fuueral went to Oak
woods to lay away the body of Hall.—

An Astute Land Grabber.
One of the most lofty and ambitions
grabbers in the state of Montana was
not long ago observed to be engaged in
a most mysterious business. He was
taking women out into the wilderness, a
stage load or two at a time. They were
very reputable women—school teachers,
typewriters, married women, and their
friends. They were taken to a large and
pleasantly situated house, upon the pre
text that they were to attend a ball and
a dinner and get SIOO as a present. It
all proved true. Excursion party after
excursion party went out in this way,
and when the ladies returned to the town
that had thus been pillaged of its beauty
they reported that they had fared upon
venison and wild fowl, with the very
vest of "fixings," and that at the ball a
number of stalwart and dashing cow
boys had become their partners, tripping
their light fantastic measures with an
enthusiasm which made up for any lack
of grace that may have been noticed.
The reader may fancy what a lark it
was to the women, and how very much
enjoyment the more mischievous wedded
ones among them got by pretending that
they were maidens, heart whole and
free of fancy! But while those women
were in the thick of this pleasure they
each signed a formal claim to a home
steader's rights in the lands thereabout.
And as they "prove up" those claims in
the fullness of time each will get her
#IOO. The titles to the lund will then
be made over to the ingenious inventors
and backers of the scheme, and the land
will bo theirs. "Thus," in the language
of a picturesque son of Montana, "a fel
low can get a dukedom if lie wants it."
This is an absolutely true account of the
conquest of a valley in Montana, and
the future historian of our country will
find much else that is akin to it, and
that will make an interesting chapter in
his records.—Julian Ralph in Harper's.
Carrying the Mall in Wyoming.
A thrilling story of adventure and
peril comes from Johnson county, Wy.,
the seat of the late cuttle war. During
the entire winter Contractor Stringer
has been unable to carry the mail across
the Big Horn mountains from Buffalo to
Ten Sleep. In the belief that the sum
mer sousou was sufficiently advanced to
allow the trip to be made, he started
from Buffalo on a strong saddle horse
and with four mules packed with mail
pouches. Twenty-five miles of huid
traveling landed Stringer at an emer
gency cabin with his stock completely
played out. Here he placed some mail
on a toboggan, and strapping on a pair
of snowshoes made another start for Ten
Sleep.
In about fifteen miles one of the snow
shoes was broken. The nearest haven
was Stringer's own ranch, twelve miles
distant. He was five days getting to il.
Most of the way he crawled on his hands
and knees. With hunger and exposure
he was all but dead. Resting three days
at his ranch, and making a new shoe,
Springer returned to the station for the
abandoned stock and mail, and in a week
went through to Ten Sleep. He returned
to Buffalo, Wy., May I.—Omaha Bee.
Teething at Ninety-five.

On his eighty-first birthday he was

bers of his family and friends, and in
turn surprised his visitors by showing
them three perfectly formed pearly
white teeth in his upper jaw, where for
years there had been none. These three
disappeared several years afterward and
Mr. Fritz resumed the use of his false
teeth until a short time ago, when an
other sot of natural teeth began to make
their appearance. Four teeth liavo al
ready grown, and there is reason to be
lieve a full set will make its appear
ance. Mr. Fritz is ninety-five years of

that they have not worked their way
