A CONNECTICUT MUNCHAUSEN. The Kev. Samuel Peter Was the Au thor of Home Oood Ones. Once upon a time to be more precise, In the latter part of the eighteenth cen turythere lived a worthy Connecticut divine mimed tho Uev. Sumuel Peters. Peters was a picturesque personage lu bis way. but bis tume rests entirely upon tbe fact that he wrote a book. This is one of tho most marvelous works ever Issued from the press. It was Mr. Peters, for example, who first discovered and made known to tha world that the founder of Yule College was a Itev. Thomas Peters, evidently one of bis own ancestors; that at Bel lows Falls the water flowed so fust that It became us burd us marble, making It possible to lloat a crowbar upon It; that two most marvelous quadrupeds, the "whuppermocker" and the "cuba" (evidently tbe ancestors of the Jabber wock) roamed wild lu the Connecticut rorests; atid It Is also from Mr. Peters that we tiist learn of tbe famous lucur slou of the Wludham frogs. But It -was lu the early Jurisprudence of Connecti cut that this expatriate made bis most Interesting discoveries. lie luformed his Eugllsb readers and most of them believe the story to this day that the citizens of tbe Stats were forbidden by law to make mince ( pies, to play on any instrument oi music except tbe drum, trumpet or Jewsbarp. and that every male must have bis hat cut round, "according to a cap" tbe model preferably being tht bard shell of a pumpkin. In other words, says B. J. Uendrlck In Leslie's Monthly. Mr. Peters was the original promulgator of tbe Connecticut "blu laws;" and bis fame as tbe Inventor of many of them Is secure. The IttssniaB Fur Trade Most of tbe world's supply of furs comes from tbe Russian Empire, Tbe hunters of Russia and Siberia aunuully capture 3.000,000 ermines, 10,000,000 marmots and 25,000.000 squirrels. A girl that can't slug and will sing should be muzzled. NEIGHBORHOOD Noighobrhood means values in residence property. In this part of Portland aro tho homes of somo of tho best known and most highly respected people of tho state. Tho property is all high, sightly, and cntirloy free from con tamination of any nature. It is one of the most healthy locutions in Oro-gon. THE WRONG BOY The Irate Father flhould Hare Ioaked Ilefore lie Hpanked. A small boy ou a railroad train cau easily get Into trouble. A Detroit man had to leave his little son while ha transacted some business with tho con ductor, says tbe Free Press, ami, as was natural enough, he gave the boy careful Instructions as to his behavior. "Now, Willie," he Bald, "Pm going to bo away Just a few minutes. You sit right where you are, and don't you move a bit. If you do, I'll spank you good and bard. Bo don't stick your head out of the window. You might have it taken off If you do. Then you wouldn't have any bead, and you'd gut a spanking besides." Tbe man wcut away to And tbe con ductor. After a few mluutcs he cams back. There was Willie with Just bis feet and the seat of bis trousers stlcklug la through the window.. He seemed to be more outside than Inside, and moreover, whenever a telegraph pola whizzed by and looked especially close, be would maka a lunge for It, as If try ing to catch It. The father did not hesitate long. lis made a grab for tbe boy Just as tbe lat ter was making a lunge for a pole. 11a pulled blm lu by tbe heels, laid him over bis knee and began to fulfill bis promise. Tbe little fellow yelled and yelled until be almost drowned out tha noise of the train; but during a lull la tbe uproar tbe fatber beard a snicker behind blm. He laid tbe boy down and turned around to see what It meant. There was bis son, two seats behind and across the aisle, with two lingers stuffed in bis mouth to keep his mer riment in. The man looked again and rubbed bis eyes, but there was no mis take. He looked at tbe boy In bis lap. Be hind tbe tears was a face tbat be had sever seen before. He bad spanked some other man's son.
