The Question Finally Solved. One oiten wonders why such a large number of idlers always surrounds any excavation or new building in the cen tral part of the city, but an explanation given'by one yesterday sheds some light on the mystery. A man who sat on a block of stone, carefully watching the work on a nine story building, at traded the attention ot one of the bosses, who said: “I’ve seen you around heic most of the time lor the past two months.” “Yes.” “Are you drawing wages?” “Oh, no.” “Ie it a relative ol yours who building?” “No.” “Going to rent it when finished?” “No.” “Getting points on architecture?” “No.” 1 “Well, then, what brings you here!” “Well, I’ll tell you. It struck me that you were not making that from door wide enough by an inch and a half, and I've been sitting arou d to see whether I was wrong, or you meant to change it.” “That door is all right, sir, and will not be changed.” "Is it? Then thero is no longer any need of my presence, and I’ll move up-street, and see if they carry the walls ot that new store up plumb.”— Detroit Free Press. A Dull Week For News. “You must excuse rne for my lack ot interest this week,” writes the Dry Forks correspondent, addressing the editor of the county paper. He then gives the following paragraphs': Rain. Picnic Wednesday. Preaching at Round Pond Sunday. During the services Zeb Phillips drop ped his pistol on the floor. It went off and killed him. Wheat didn’t turn out so mighty well. Chicken cholera. Measles. Whooping cough. Old man Blue and his wife have parted. Tobe Walker k lied a coon. Mat Morris shot himself on Friday. He would have left a wife to mourn his loss, but shewed last summer. The Old Marfstill Lives. Mr. Micajah Owens, .who lives about five miles from town, near King’s Crossing, walked to town last Monday. This may not seem worthy of mention, but when it is known that Mr. Jenkins is in his 100th year, it will look different. We are informed that he will be ioo years old on Jan. 4th, 1890. He walked about the streets and conversed freely with those he met. It has been only about three years since this old gentleman walked to Hawkinsville from where he lives, a distance of about twenty-eight miles He seems to have a dislike to horses as he walks almost everywhere he goes We are told that he had never rid den on the cars, before the A., P. & L. road was built, and that he was pleased with his first ride. Mr.- Owens has lived in Wilcox county about seventy five years, where he raised a large tamily. We are in formed that his children, grand child- dren and great-grand children (a good many of the latter being grown), num ber nearly throe hundred, many of whom are among the best citizens ol this county.—Rochelle Register.

Possible Juror—*Iu Boston. “Allow me to inquire if you have permitted yourself to harbor or to give oral utterance to any impression you may have received or imbibed subjectively nnent the peccability or ionocuousnes of the accused ?” “Er—what? I don’t understand.’ (To the court)—"Your honor, I challenge this juror for cause. He is evidently an impostor.” “If a woman ta pretty. To mo ’tis no mutter, Be sho blonde or brunette.
