Ask some men for an advertisement or a few locals and they will say they don't believe in advertising-- a paper is never read. Let one of them be caught kissing his neighbor's wife or struggling along with a jag, and if the printing office is in the garret of a saventeen-story building he will climb to the top and beg the editor to keep quiet--not to publish it in the paper.

An odorous story comes from the east. A young man whose field of professional labor is not twenty miles from the Pittsburg road, caught a skunk the other evening. Before starting on the pursuit he failed to classify the little animal properly and pressed the chase by reason of an error in judgment which led him to believe himself in pursuit of some wicked person's deserted kitty. He was undeceived, however, when he was about to lay hands on the skunk and thought for a moment that the concentrated essence of odors had been poured out upon his head. The strictly embarrassing feature of his position was that he had left his best girl in the buggy while he went oil" on the skunk hunt. As all things end, so did their journey to town, and so has his penchant for catching stray cats. Cork ! iv '1 it I Meet. Like the Ancient Order of Iloo I loos, the secret and mysterious order of the Dlack Cats, the Corkscrew Club of this city is also an order whose secret working is veiled in the profoundest mystery. The Chief High Ritualist issaid to appear before the lodge on meeting nights at exactly the dread hour of midnight, when graveyards yawn and give up the spirits of their dead, and to perforin such a wierd and altogether hypnotic incantation that the room is tilled with enchannient and all are lifted to the seventh stratum of Corkscrew Club delight. This is followed by the introduction of a turkey gobbler who stuts about m the blue ether of the seventh a-rial stratum as a perpetual example of the pride to which all members of the club who have been elevated to the seventh plane of Corkscrew Club progression should attain. A half tone reproduction of the turkey gobbler set in a pictured wreath of chrysanthemums and hollyhocks, to denote spring, autumn and Thanksgiving, is worn as the emblem and royal insignia of the club. Uut little information regarding the inner workings of this club is attainable and we have been unable to learn what manner of corks are drawn by the Corkscrew Club at times of meet ing. The club convened at 12 o'clock Siturday night and did not adjourn until 12 o'clock Sunday night. This was a regular convocation. When certain special rites are performed the sessions are said to last from forty-eight to siqty hours. An l ulu ky Tliir(-eii. Laporte Argus: Those who entertain a superstition about the No 13 being unlucky may be interested in knowing that several years the Lake .Shore road has had a No. 13 express train, ami as long as it run under that number it never met with the slightest mishap, it was so singularly free from all trouble that it became noted on the road. A short time ago the number was changed and almost immediately accidents began to happen to it and they have since been of frequent occurrence, although none of them have very serious.
