The boys at the Eagle H. & L. com pany’s house are anxious to ascertain when the chowder club will begin to materialize. It is said that Foreman Oberlander will select a squad to pro- cure the clams and Hamp Smith is ex- pected to go along and carry the bi- valves back to the truck house. Treas- urer Fleming, however, objects to this as he fears Hamp will want the first plate of chowder served as his compen sation. N ow that Darien has a first class post office it should at least have good side- walks. It is reported that Wilbur Bates and Charles Milspaugh of the Eagle Hooks are arranging for a 10 mile bicy- cle race. Real estate in Darien promises to have a boon this summer. 4A; ‘v 7 Professor W.

The Young Man Proved That Steel Gray Ones Could he Rolled Upon. Colonel Ford generally judged of a man’s military qualities by his eye. "'A young man who had graduated from Oberlin College, actuated by a spirit of adventure, drifted to Brownsville and found himself stranded. In the latter condition he walked to Colonel Ford’s camp, about six miles south of the city, and, addressing himself to the commander, said: ' “Colonel, I have nothing to do, and want to join the Rangers.” ? “I like the color of your eyes, and will give you an opportunity to distin- gush yourself,” the colonel replied, aft- er gazng carefully into the eyes of the young man, which were steel gray. The next day the young ranger was sent to Brownsville with dispatches. Returning he captured a. noted Mexi- can desperado, who had slain several Americans and for a long time had eluded the Rangers. The Oberlin boy brought the desperado to the Colonel, who said: > “I don’t care to see him.” “Come along,” said the ranger, ad- dressing his prisoner, whom he forced to go in front of him until they enter- ed a small patch of chapparral inwhich they disappeared. A moment later a shot was heard. It was the death knell of the Mexican criminal. The classical young ranger returned to the Colonel’s camp and reported: “Escaped.” “’Tis well,” was the Colonel’s re- ply. In those days, when the road to civ- ilization had to be blazed with the six- shooter or carved with the sword, the trial of desperados was deemed imprac- ticable, unwise and without good re- sults—Dallas News. ALTOGETHER TOO POLITE. Person in Charge Was Not Accnstomed to Such Accomplishments. ”A respectable married couple who had come down in the world obtained work in a. Lancashire factory, and, in order that their little boy might not be neglected during their absence, placed him under the care of a. professional “minder,” who had upward of thirty other children to look after. At the end of the first day, however, the tem- porary mother declared that she could mind the child no longer, and asked the newcomers to take him away. “What for, Mrs. C?” inquired the as- tonished father. “Has he been very troublesome?” ‘ “Oh, no, it ain’t that,” answered the female. “He ain’t been a. bad ’un—he’s too much t’other way. He’s too bloom- in’ polite.” “But, surely, you don’t that?” “Yes, I do,” was the firm response. “I can stand a kid axin questions when he wants to know sommat; but when he says ‘Beg parding’ every time he treads on t’ cat’s tail and tells ye he’s very much obleegcd for every little thing at’s done for him. I draws the line. I can’t stomach it—it sounds too unearthly for me.” And in spite of all persuasions the "‘minder” refused to undertake the further custody of a child who showed such abnormal elegance—Weekly Tele- graph. object to A Funny Addition Sum. How many apples did Adam and Eve cat? ‘ Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total of 10 only. . . Now we figure the thing out far differently. Eve 8 and 'Adam ‘8 also— total, 16. We think the above figures are en- tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the total will be 90. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that the antede.‘ Iuvians were a race of giants, reason something like this—Eve 81 and Ad- am 82—total, 163. Wrong again.. What could be clear er than if Eve 81 and Adam 812, the total was 893? I believe the following to be the true solution: Eve 814 Adam andAdam 8124 Eve—8,938. Still another calculation is as fol- lows: If Eve 814 Adam.
