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 dat ar ern d<- returned coffee box. Ef ver ha' ! brung back all de c, ff'i-e yer borrrotted last year bit would be plum full.-—Galveston News, TIIW WEEK ABROAO, 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 ures ! We board a young lady re mark -rather inelegantly, it must bo confessed—that she hated ‘that Biggs follow, ho is such a soft cake! Well, in less than three months she took tbo euko 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, •Tition Rogers came homo tn other day very much ’ excited. What, do you think,mother ? Paul William*, one of the big boys, had an argument with the teacher,about a question in grammar. \V bat po sition did P..ul take? aiked Jason's mother.
