Rough on Free Lunch FIends.

From the N. Y. Telegram.
A Chatham street bartender has in
vented new instrument for the sup
preston of those free lunch fiends whose
forsys on his lunch counter can not be
checked by ordinary means, such as
trained parrots and chestnut bells.
1t consists of good sized sponge, to
which is fastened a long and tough piece
of elastic. The bartender fills the
sponge with water, twists the elastic
around his finger, and when the lunch
fiend has secured square meal, he is
apprised Of the fact by coming into con-
tact with the wet, ioe-cold sponge; but
SO quickly does the elastic draw the
sponge back that the victim hardly
knows what has struck him, the bar.

FOR THE PANHANDLE.
A Committee Appointed to Secure

a Committee Appointed TO secure
the Required Guarantee.
The mass meeting called by the citi-
zens' association and board OF trade was
held yesterday afternoon In the county
courtroom, and there was an air Of busi-
ness about the affair that argued we'll
for the success OF the movement.
Mr.. L. NJ. Gregory called the meeting
to order, and told how the matter stood
then and the motive for calling the
meeting. This was three fold: first, for
securing the railroad from Odessa to the
gulf; second, 20 further the interest OF
immigration by calling q convention OF
those sections Interested, and, thirdly,
for obtaining deep water at Arkansas
Pass.
Mr.. l.. w. MadarasZ was elected chair
man and Mr. l.. NJ. Gregory, secretary.
DIR. w. o. Kulp was then invited to
speak and explained in regard to the
railroad project. He said that 1t has
been fully explained and he thought
that most people interested In the pro-
jeot quite understood it. Three roads
going for the Panhandle. One had got
90 far as Carson county, another was
surveying and migration was follow
In the wake OF both, but In the spring
these would be ION to" south

interested In Lubbock county and meant
connecting those interests with San An
tonic and the gulf. The only accessible
Yellow House Canyon, which they con-
trolled. and upon which route the pro-
posed line would be located. All the
roads handling grain products OF the
northwest point to the Mexican frontier
and the call was for reduction OF die
lance and the reduction OF freights.
Arkansas Pass was the natural outlet
and by fostering this railroad scheme,
San Antonio could get her grip on the
Panhandle trade.
Col.H B.Andrews, In response to Gale,
said he was In favor OF the movement
and he thought the proposition mo

he'd only to guarantee 100000 Of real

THE AMERICAN ARMY OF TWO.
\ New England incident Of the War OF
1912:

\ correspondent asks for a
brief account Of the ''British
Scare when two little girls.
daughters of the lighthouse keeper
at Scituate, Mass, drove away
two of the enemy's barges. The
girls, who ever afterward called
themselves The American Army
of Two in the War of 1872" We're
Rebecca and Abbie Bates, aged
at the time of the incident re-
spectively - and II years.
When the war broke out the
harbor of Scituate was the scene OF
many sea skirmish. Shortly
after the British burned a large
number Of vessels which lay i'll
Scituate harbor, after which the
town was garrisoned.
About September 1, 1914, a
British bark was sighted directly
off Cedar Point, from which two
barges were lowered and were
bearing down upon the harbor,
with the intention Of sacking and
destroying two large flour laden
vessels. The mother Of Rebecca
becoming somewhat alarmed, the
men being away Oh an expedition,
appealed to her daughter fo1
advice, whereupon Rebecca with
a fife and her sister Abbie with a
drum. concealed themselves be-
hind the house and struck up a
national air. The effect was
magical. The careless swinging
stroke of the baryemens oars
ceased and across the water tc
their listening ears came the roll
call Of the formidable and much
dreaded Yankees. They hesitated
a moment, and then, just as the
bark flew her signal of DANGER
they downed oars and with most
unman-of-war-liAe stroke cxcrtnd
themselves to reach their vessel.
It was but the silence of Il moment
when the sails filled, and with
Yankee Doodle ringing in THEN
ears the BritiSher squared away
to sea.
