The third leap year dance was

The Cle%»p Robber*.
It f» said that uce, before the English
hart become us> d to the maneuvers of
the robbers in India, an officer with a
party of horse was chasing a small body
“ of Bbeel robliers ami was fast overtak
ing them. Suddenly the robbers ran be
hind a rock, or some such obstacle, which
hid them for a moment, and when the
soldiers came up the men had mysteri-
ously disappeared.- After an unavailing ^
search, the officer ordered his men to
dismount beside a dump of scorched
and withered trees, and, the day being
very hot, he took off his helmet and hung j
it on a branch by which he was etanding. ;
The branch in question turned out to
be the leg of a llheel, who burst into a
scream of laughter and flung the aston
ished officer to the ground. The clump
of scorched tret*? suddenly became trans
formed into men, and the whole party
dispersed in different directions before
the Englishmen could recover from
their surprise, carrying with them the
officer's helmet by way of trophy.—Har

FATHER AND SON
Engage in a Fight and the Father is
Painfully, but not Dangerously, Cut.
On Tuesday of last week Mes
srs Joe and John Pipkin, father
and son, engaged in a fight in
which the former got decidedly
the worst of it. The following
particulars have been furnished
us. The row began in Mr. C.
H. Decker’s store in Philadel
phia. A clerk in the store re
quested the belligerents to step
out of the store if they wished
to continue the row. Joe Pip- j
kin then asked his son to go out
with him and finish the row
The son proceeded to accept the
challenge and as he was leav
ing the store picked up a meat
knife which was near by. On
reaching the back yard the fath
er and son began immediately
to fight, the son using the meat
knife. As a result the father
had his hand badly cut, one ear
severed almost in two, and he
also received a deep gasli across
his jaw. Dr. J. P. I’arrottdress
ed tho wounds and, while they
are very painful, they are not
considered s dangerous. Later
in the day the son passed by
the father’s house and the old
man came out and knocked him
down with a stick. They were
separated, however, before any
further damage was done.
The Kight Anfiwer.
A judge, meeting a countryman, said
| to him, “Where are you going?"
“How do I know?” was the gruff reply.
The judge, taking it for a piece of im
pudence, said: “You don’t know, you
scamp? I'll teach you better manners.
1 Off to prison with yon!"
t T he poor rustic was seized forthwith
| and was being hauled off to jail when
he turned round and said, “Your wor-
sliip can see now that 1 answered cor
rectly, for I assure you that 1 didn’t
know 1 was going to prison."
This reply excited the risibility of the
judge, who ordered him to be set at
liberty.—Tesoretto.

Peculiar Kind of Duck Killed on
Lynche’s River.
Mr. W. W. Gardner, tl.edrug
clerk in Dr. Boyd’s drugstore,
spent the Christmas holidays at
his old home at Tiller’s Ferry,
in Kershaw county. While
there he killed, on the Kershaw
side of Lynche’s River, a very
peculiar kind of duck—a kind
that is so uncommon in these
parts that even the oldest sports
men could not give its name or
genus. It was a large blue duck,
with brown head and round bill.
Anolher peculiarity of the bird
was that it had three fish with
in its craw. The largest fish
was about five inches long. The
fish were but partly masticated
and the duck had swallowed
them whole.
