Robust Imaginations.
SOME VERY AHLE STOBIES ALLEGED TO
HAVE BEEN TOLD IN NEVADA.
From the Carson City Appeal.
Yesterday afternoon, when the
lawyers in Justiso Cary's court
were waiting for the verdict in a
petty larceny case, Attorney Sode
borg related an incident of his ear
ly childhood in Minnesota, illus-.
train-> of tho popular customs in
vogue in that, State:
‘I knew an old farmer there who
owned ten acres of timber land
where millions of pigeons came
each year to roost. They devastnd
the wheat fields, and the old coon
used to catch the birds in nets and
thrash them out on the barn floor
Each bird had three ounces of
wheat, in his crop, and it was a bad
year for ‘Old Thompson' when he
couldn't ship a thousand bushels
of wheat to market at $2.00 a busli
e\ and it ranked A No. 1 when it
reached tho Chicago elevator. It
there hid been a few millions more
of llie pigeons ho would have come
pretty near getting a coiner on the
.Minnesota wheat crop.'
‘I know a planter down in Ala
bama,' said Ki;troll, ‘who was fully
ns sharp as that. Ho trained an
alligator to work up and down tho
liver aud catch the little picaninuies
that played along the bank. Tho
alligator would take the little kids
m his jaws and swim back to the
plantation. It was a unit day that
he couldn't corral tinea or tour.
The planter raised 'em carefully,and
'.then they got big sold 'em in New
Orleans at prices ranging from three
to ten thousand apiece. Tie was
tolling in wealth when Jjincoln's
em.meipniion proclamation was is-,
sued, and after that tho alligator
never did any more work. Tho
Qian is now barely keeping body
anil soul together in W ashington,
clerking in cue of the government
bureaus ut oi.dit thousand a year.'
Judge Carry evidenced the great
est interest in Iho o weird tales,
and edged up to tno group.
These are curious yarns, gentle
men, hut 1 believe them all. I Imd
a dog once, back in Nebraska, that
I kept to herd lumber,
Heg pardon, judge; did you say
the dog herded lumber?
Yes, sir, cottonwood boards. Wo
always kept a dog there to bring
the lumber in at night.
.Everybody now paid the closest
attention, as they knew that the
boss was at, work,
it was this "’ay. Cottonwood
boards warp like thunder in the
sun. A hoard would begin to hump
its hack about rune o'clock in the
morning, and in a ball an hour it
would turn over. By eleven it
would warp the oilier way with the
heat, and make another Hop. Eaeli
time iujrneil it -uovi <1 a couple , f
fe t, following tli sun toward the
west. The first summer I lived in
Brownville over ten thousand feet
of lumbi.r skipped out to the Inbs
the day hi lore 1 hud a house rais
ing. I went to the county seal to
attend a lawsuit, anil when I got
back there wasn't a stick of timber
lef . It bad strayed away into the
unbinds. An ordinary board would
climb a two mile hill during a hot
weak, and when it struck the tim
ber it would keep wormin' in and
out liming the limb-r like a gar
ier snake. Every faniugT in the
■S.a:e had to keep shepherd dog. to
follow his lumber around tho coun
try to keep it together and show
where it was in tho morning. V.'e
dsilii t need any flumes thoro for
lumber. We sawed it east of the
place we wanted to use it, and let
warp itself to its destiua ion, with
men and dog* to bead it off at the
r ght time, we never lost a stick.
‘Well, hero comes the jury ‘ con
inlied the ju Ige. The \vi nesses
bed so I guess they will disagree.
Uncle Mose Turns Over a
New Leaf
A neighbor, wiili a coffee-cup in
her hand, called in on uncle Mose,
remarking: Uncle Mose, I wants to
borry a cup ob parched coffee from
you for breakfas' till to-rnorror.
Go right to de box on de shef
and hep yersef.
The neighbor did as requested,
but discovered the box to be a*
empty as the head of a Legislator.
Uncle Mose, dar's no parched
j coffee in dis beah box?
Does yer know why dar ain't no
c-dlee in dat ar box?
No, doesn't know nufflu' a' out
I it.
Dar ain't no coffee in dat ar box,
iai-1 the old man, solemnly, -‘bekase

Economy, the English race horse,
lias brought its owner SIOO,OOO.
One of tho surest ways of accumu
lating wealth is by economy.
The emperor of Russia has a sal
ary of $10,000,000 a year. L its of
men would bo willing to stand as
a target for tho nihilists for such
wages.
Eight minutes is tho longest stop
the lightning train from Now York
to Boston makes at any one place;
just long enough to scald ft man's
throat with a cup of hot coffeo.
Tho Arkansas legislature last
week passed a bill making it a mis.
demeanor to seli in that state a dirk,
bowie-knife, sword cano, or brass
mickles, or pistol of any kind, ex
cept such as are used in tho army
or navy,
Tho Wisconsin legislature has
passed a bill forbidding any one to
treat another to a drink of intoxi
cating liquor in a public place, un
der a penalty of from $5 to $lO.
Mrs. Garfield,who speaks French
and German fluently, is said to be
tho first president's wife able to
talk with foreign diplomats in tho
court language of Europe. Her
husband is also accomplished in
German and French.
It is a fact worth liotioing that
the balance of power in the United
States senate wiggles between the
biggest and the smallest mem
bers.
Unmatched earrings is the latest
freak of fashion. Unmatched
gloves will soon be in order.
Women arc such inconstant creat

bo confessed—that she hated ‘that

Perhaps the young woman of
Greene, Minnesota, didn't scream
when, on breaking an egg to mix
in lioi cake, a snake seven inches
long and about tlm size of a pipo
stem fell into tho pan.
Tlio constitution of Indiana lias
been amended so that State elec
tions will be held in November
hereafter. That settles the Octo
lu r slate business.
A German woman at. Viucennwsi
Ind, lias given birth to a child
with wings and tho homl of a squir
l-el. Its lingers are webbed, and
from under the arm along tlio body
to tlio leg is a flabby piece of skin.
Tno head is shaped somewhat like
that of a squirrel, but is devoid of
any unusual capillary adornment
—
A Ncrto Paradise-
Right out of tbo sea 450 miles
from the Florida coast, rises a huge
rock, twenty-two miles long by
sev ;ii miles wide. It is the small
est of tin; Bahama islands and is
called New Providence. It is the
second place where Columbus land
ed im bis voyage to the Western
world and tbo only town of note in
the Bahamas marks tbo spot. Nas
sau even at this season nestles in a
wilderness of flowers, plants and
fruits. There i* not a tree, shrub
or flower that thrives in any warm
climato which docs not grow lux
uriantly there. I ssid it was a rock
upon which these beauties grow
and blossom, and over which a
never ending rummer breeze blowß
the seeds of health by tempering
tbo warmth if a tropical sun until
it strikes a happy medium where
all seaaon is summer anil mankind
basks in an atmosphere practically
invairable twelvo months in the
year, and trees, shrubs and flowers
thrive in chaotic profusion all the
year round. How contrary this is
to what is known of nature in the
frost land and yet how crudely true
o' wlmt is seen here every hour in
the year.
Muchly Married.
Barnesville Gazette: There is a
lady iiviiiu in bis con ty wno has
had five husbands. Sho live* on
the old Hightower trail, and mar
lied fur widowers in succession.
The remarkable c (incidence con
nected with this good lady's matri
monial ventures is, that each one of
her husbands lived on the same
road, and just one and a h If miles
from the lady, who was a widow;
the second third and fourth lived
about tlio same distanco from each
other, so she has,in turn,had charge
of each of the residences, and is now
living happily with her fifth hus
band wit dn seven miles of her
original home,
