The conductors of two cars standing there were on the sidewalk at the time. They started for their cars and the goat started for them. The men “beat it” for a candy store and won. The goat then turned his attention to several pedestrians and soon made a scatterment. About this time Patrolmen Elkins and Webb came along. Webb lived on a farm and knew the habits of the goat. He kept in the rear. Elkins bravely went forward to capture the goat. He managed to seize the animal by the head and tried to go with him to the station. Every time he pulled, the goat started to butt him. He held on for several minutes, afraid to let go, until the owner of the goat relieved him. Aged Couple Joined at Last. George W. Hayden, a retired farmer of Big Laurel, Va., and Larestia Fulton, of Lipps, were married at the home of the bride’s son, Henry Fulton, a few days ago. The bridegroom was some few days past ninety years of age when the knot was tied and the bride was lacking a few days of being eighty-seven. About seventy years ago Hayden and Miss Helt--the bride’s maiden name--were engaged, but quarreled, and both married other parties and reared large families. Hayden’s wife died eighteen years ago and Mrs. Fulton was left a widow three years ago. “Well Broken to Hard Work.” Although many bones in his body have been broken as a result of various accidents during his life, W. M. Morgan, who lives near Lancaster, Kan., finds little cause for complaint for the treatment he has had at the hands of “cruel fate.” At various times he has had both shoulders fractured, a number of ribs cracked, a thumb broken, both legs broken, and his right foot has almost every bone in it broken. Despite all these handicaps, he works every day at hard labor and has little use for the fellow who thinks hard luck has given him a jolt. Snake Swallows China Egg. Blacksnakes down Gales Ferry way cannot tell china nest eggs for hen’s eggs, according to a story related by Mr. and Mrs. R. B. de Bussy, of Mount Vernon, N. Y. The De Bussys were recent guests of Miss Caroline Freeman at the Bouwerie, Gales Ferry. Miss Freeman’s guests at that time included Professor Heuser, instructor in German at Columbia University, and his family. Professor Heuser’s daughter, six years old, returning from the poultry house at Bouwerie, reported no eggs, but said a big snake was in a hen’s nest. A manservant, using an ax, killed the five-foot snake. Miss Freeman then discovered that the china nest egg was missing from the nest. The search led to the interior of the snake, where the missing china nest egg was recovered. Lightning’s Queer Freak. Lightning apparently photographed a perfect likeness of a tree, branches, twigs, and leaves, in minutest detail, on the breast of Edwin Liesman, who was instantly killed in the Magnolia clubhouse on Mount Penn, near Reading, Pa., in a violent electrical storm.
