Three village merchants that we know
of do this and present them to custom-

given them, for it frequently happens
that not one can be found at the news-

Last evening the tug Alva M. came
up from South Norwalk for the purpose
of towing the barge Sumter down.
The tide was ebbing and after going
but a short distance comparatively the
tug ran aground on the west side cf the
river and the barge crashed into her
stern tearing away the tug’s timbers as
if they were paper and it was feared
she would become waterlogged. When
the tide came in the tug floated and
got through to South Norwalk all right

Rev. Mr. Tasker was the victim of a
very awkward mistake last Sunday.
Rector Selleck sent him to Westport to
preach at Holy Trinity-church but the
driver left him at the church this side.
Not seeing any one about, the good
parson robed himself intreadiness to
open the servicg, when ,g‘, the ' regular;
rector appeared‘ and in great w'onder-
ment was made acquainted with the
fact that Rev. Mr. Selleck had sent him
to preach. there. ,:‘_‘I guess you were~
sent -to' Holy Trinity, beyond here,’~l’¥‘
replied the rector. So Mr. Tasker dis-
robed and hurried across the river, ar—
riving on time, but a good deal flurried
by the haste and :the blunder of "his
driver. "

head to lie down on State sheet, and then
he refused to rise.

and of course every man had a suggestion
‘ to offer.

The bridle was “yanked,” but the horse

' The tail was twitched, and the horse
seemed rather. to like it.
“Poke him in the ribs!” said a third sug-
gester.»
The prodding was promptly performed.
‘No result. »
“Stick pins in his ear!” remarked a man,
evidently an active member of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
’Twas done, but the horse only moved
his head‘from side to side.
': “Three or four fellows get astride him
and he’ll get up,” was the next suggestion.
The crowd was ready to try anything,
and it detailed four venturwome men, who
climbed on the horse and kicked simul-
taneously with their double quartet of
heels. But the animal never budged.
The situation was getting serious, for the
crowd was blocking the thoroughfare,
when a. genius yelled:
“Sing ‘Little Annie Rooney’ to him!”
That was enough. ' With a snort of rage
the horse raised himself to his fore feet,
then to his hind ones, and started off so
rapidly that many of the spectators had

A Slight Mistake.
A fond father, blessed with eleven chil-
dren, and a very domestic man, tells this
story:
One afternoon, business being very dull,
he took the early train back to his happy
home, and after a time slipped upstairs to
' help'to put the children to bed. Being
missed soon, his wife went to see What was:
going on. Upon opening the nursery door
she exclaimed: '
“ Why, dear, what- in the world are you
doing?”
“Why, wifey,” said he, “I am putting
the children to bed and hearing them say
their little prayers.” »
“Yes,” said wifey, “but this is one of our
neighbor’s children, all undressed.”
And he had to re-dress it and send it
home—London Moonshine.

and pointing to a group of black pigs said,

laughingly said, “I’ve got a. conundrum to
ask you.”
“ that is it?” I asked.
“Why do black pigs eat more than white
ones?” ' - -
“Give it up,” I said.
“W'ell, you give it up pretty quick,” he
said. “It’s simply because there are more
