JERRY USED A KNIFE.

Colored 6lrl Gets the Worst ot an Encounter with Jerry Karsner. Jerry Karsner, the general roustabout at the Goff restaurant and the colored girl cook, at the same plaoe, have found it impossible to get along for some time and enoonnters between the two have been of frequent occurrence, Jerry generally getting the worst of it. Last Saturday the colored girl attempted to chase Jerry ont ot the kitchen and got the worst of it. Jerry need a knife, outting a deep gash in the colored girl’s left arm above the elbow, and then skipped out to be out of reach of the infhriated Amazon and also of the law. The ont was about three inohes long and of considerable depth. Monday the girl swore out a warrant for Jerry’s arrest, and Constable Zea found him ont at Alf Donnelly’s, after an unsuocessftil trip to the ball park, where he had been given a tip that Jerry oonld found sitting on the top step of the grand stand. The case was tried in Squire Troxell’s court before a jury, who returned a verdiot of not guilty. Jerry says that either the oolored girl will have to resign her position or he will, as he will no longer work with her. This is perhaps a wise resolution on bis part if .he hopes to keep his hide intaot.

It’s Now Milroy Park.

The transfer of the old Milroy property to the oity took place last week and hereafter the plot of ground will be known as Milroy Park. The price of the ground was $1,900. Of this amount SI,OOO was raised by popular subscription through the efforts of the Ladies’ Literary Olnb, of Rensselaer, through whose agitation the purchase of the park can be credited. The city pays the balance of the pnrchase price, and is given time in whioh to make the payments. The park is a triangular piece of ground facing the Washington street bridge and is surrounded by streets on all sides. The ground is not very large, being equivalent to about three 50x150 feet lots. It was formerly the home of Major Gen. Robert H. Milroy, and It is expected that at no distant day a memorial of some kind will be erected to his memory in the park. It will cost considerable to transfer the ground into a park, bat at no distant day this will be done beyond a doubt.

The number of farmers who w:ll not permit quails to be killed on their lands is increasing every year, and if quail were better understood 90 farmer would allow one of them to be shot, for it is one of the birds which can be depended upon to keep down the pest of insects which injure or destroy the crops. This can best be illustrated by what Wilson Flagg, \ the naturalist, says in his “Year with Birds.” An Ohio farmer boy watched a flock of quails in a field of young oorn as they followed the rows across the field, thinking they were scratching up the corn, he shot one and examined the contents of its craw. In it he found one cut worm, twenty one striped vine bugs but not a single grain of oorn. It is only during the winter that quails and such birds live on seeds and grain, lor they prefer worms and bugs when they can get them. It is even said that the prevalence of these destructive bugs and worms is on account of the destruction of the birds.

STORIES BY THE WAT.

Thin Stories are Not All Sworn To—Bellevi as Much or Llttto aa You Pliasi. A Chicago woman has asked for a divoroe from a husband whom she married to prevent him from killing himself. She now no doubt hopes he may oarry ont his original intention. A Oburubusoo girl said that her lover had a soft plaoe in his heart for her because he olalmed to be always thinking of her. She was mistaken. A man does not think with his heart. The soft plaoe is In his head. ■ Pat had been out shooting, and was returning home when he was met by a friend. “Well, Pat, have you been successful?” he asked. “Share,” said Pat. “The only burrd I shot was a rabbit, and Ol knocked him down with a stick.” An Irishman and a Frenchman In LaOttowere disputing over the nationality of a friend of theirs. “I say,” laid the Frenchman, “that If he was born in France, he is'a Frenchman.” “Begorra,” said Pat, “if a cat should have kittens in the ovan, would you oall them bisonits?” “A man may be so bow legged chat his best girl oan’t sit on hts lap without a hammock, yet be an Infinitely better citizen than the walking fashion plate whose organism is so delicate that he dare not olean his finger nails for fear of taking cold. You oan’t always tell a man by his appearance or ooonpatlon. The biggest liar we ever knew was employed on a religions paper to write Sunday sohool stories about a ’good little Bobby and bad little Willie.’ ”

A Ft. Wayne man and woman who are to be married next month are rehearsing, not for the service, but for the escape from the guests who throw rice and old shoes. Every night at nine o'clock a carriage dashes to the house, and the man and woman make a flying leap to it, while the family, Impersonating guests, hurl every thing they can lay their hands on. The bride Is becoming so athletic that it is believed she will be able in a month to dear the front yard and steps to the street in three bounds.

Better than any silver-tongued thermometer or costly barometer Is an old, scratched np, lop-eared oat. If he eats grass it is a sign of rain; if he stands with his bis back to the stove look ont for oold weather; when he washes his face wash yours, for oompany Is coming; if he is nervous at the time he is usually sleepy, look to your lightning rod, an electrical storm is brewing. Everything he does is a sign of something. If you haven’t got a measly old oat yon had better get one at onoe. There was a look of despair on his face as he entered the room and threw himself on the lonnge, while moans broke from his 11 pa. His wife saw at onoe that something dreadful had happened. “Oh darling,” he gasped, “have pity on mel We,are penniless!” “Penniless!” she cried, “Oh, my husband! But lam a true wife, and ean go hack to typewriting. Only tell me where your money has gone. “Have you been gambling?” The wretched man placed his arm around her and gasped; “I—have—paid—the—ooal—bill!”
