or has been errOneOuSly connected, rs Joe
Shelly, the well known Texas ranger. In that
fire Mexican Joe lost a gold watch, and he
gives q romantic account of how It got into his
possession which, VIII Their true or false, is
very interesting. In 1879 Mexican Joe with b IS
family WAS living on his ranch, at PasOdil
JanOs, in Mexico. While he was away Indian
fighting, VictOrio and some Apa"hes came
to his ranch and carried away his wife and
family. Joe was 200 miles away at the time
but as soon as he heard the news he got on
the trail OF VictOriO. The latter. pressed by
Joe and his friends, killed JOe's wife and
children and fler. The avengers pursued
VictOriO, and Joe eventually caught and
killed him. On the dead chief was found the
watch missing. and Joe has always worn il as
mementO of the event The watch, after
the fire, was traced to "a supe" named Han
cock who claims to have found it, but Han

ON TIME.

Since 40 years it has been the study
of our most accomplished moulders to
perfect a Cooking Stove, which could
be equally as we'll adapted for coal or
wood.
The problem has at last been solved
and samples of remarkable beauty
and finish can be seen at III. Schultze
Jr., GA E. Houston street.
Ladies' are invited to inspect the
stock, no trouble to show goods. The
Twin Burner Gasoline Stove, finest In
America, is in full operation.
A $500 Cook Stove is on exhibition.
Steam Egg Poacher at Csc each; Tin
Ware, Roofing, Repairing, in fact
everything in this line can be bought
for less money at

There is n curious old japanese legend
which processes to account for the orr
gin of the tea plant. Somewhere about
the year $40 A. d., n certain Buddhist
priest of great sanctity paid visit to the
celestial empire, and, III order to devote
himself entirely to the service of God,
he solemnly vowed upon one occasion
that he would not go to sleep for the
remainder of his earthly life, but spend
his time i'll perpetual meditation. Years
rolled by, until at last one sultry dny
nature asserted herself, and the poor
devotee of Bnddah fell fast asleep. So
great was his remorse when he awoke
that in order to preclude the possibility
OF n repetition of slumber, he there md
then cut off both his eyelasles and
flung them on the ground. Passing by
the spot next day, great was his aston
lslment ut beholling each eyelash met
amorphosed into a shrub and exhibiting
'''the form of an eyelid bordered with
lnshes, and possessing the gift of hin.

What is the Moon!

But when we look at the moon with
our telescopes, do we see any traces
of water? There are, no doubt, many
large districts which at first glance
seem like oceans, and were indeed
termed "seas" by the old astrono-
mers, a name which they still absurd
ly retain. Closer inspection shows
that the so called lunar seas are des-
erts, often marked over with small
craters and withrocks. The telescope
reveals no seas and no oceans,
no lakes and no rivers. Nor is the
grandeur of the moons scenery ever
impaired by clouds over her surface.
Whenever the moon is above the hor-
lion and Terrestrial clouds are out of
the way, we can see the features of
her surface with distinctness. There
are no clouds in the moon there are
not even the mist or the vapors
which invariably arise wherever wa
ter is present. And therefore astron-
omers have been led to the conclu-
sion that our satellites q sterile and
waterless desert.-Story of the

Forty miles above New Orleans is

The intelligence of shepherd dogs is

been trained to herd flock. Not long

great distress. Not child could be

Curious Chinese Habits.

When a Chinaman desires visitor
to dine with him he does not ask him
TO do so, says n writer in the New
York Mail and Express, but when he
does not wish him to stay he puts
the question: "Oh, won't you stay
and dine with me, please?" The visit
or will then know he is not wanted.
When Chinaa,an expects pres
ent and it does not come he sends
one of lesser value.
A rich mans servant gets no sal
airy, yet many are the applicants;
while big salaries are paid to the
servants of the common people, but
lew make applications. The per-
quisites OF the former often more than
triple the salaries of the latter, which
is the sole reason of these differences

confidential clerks and statesmen in
all branches of industry receive an
annual net percentage of the firm S

The highest ambition of a China
man is to have nice coffin and a
fine funeral.
In China one can always borrow
money on the strength of having a
son, but nobody would advance. him
cent if he had dozen daughters.
The formeris responsible for the debt
of his father for three generations.
The latter is only responsible for the
debt of her own husband.
When Chinaman meets another
he shakes and squeezes his own hand
and covers his head. Ifgreat friends
have not seen each other for long
time they would rub shoulders until
they got tired. Instead of asking
each others health they would say:
"How is your stomach" or "Have
you eaten your rice?" "How old are
your" GLOW much did you pay for
your sandals?"
Men wear ngpetticoats and carry
fans, while the women wear short
packets and carry canes. Boats are
drawn by horses, carriages move by
sails. Old men play bali and fly kites,
while children fold their arms and
look on. Old women, instead of
young, are theidols ofsociety. Love-
making is only done three days be-
fore marriage. 1t is not only consid-
cred the safest way to get ahead of
a rival, but the surest way to get a
wife without losing much time.
A previous acquaintance between
the male and female prevents them
from marriage. For this reason u
man seldom weds girl of his town.
If a cinnamon desires the death of an
enemy he goes and hangs himself up
on that enemy's door. 1t is consid-
cred a sure way tAkill not only that
particular enemy, but the members
of his whole family will be in jeopardy

The White I1ouse I'm 1900.

1t is interesting to read at this time
the description of the white house,
which Mrs. John Adams wrote in 1900.
1t was occupied in 1900 for the first time.
1t was begun in 1902 and was fashioned
after the plan of the palace of the duke
OF Leinster. Jefferson, the exponent of
simplicity, favored more elaborate and
ornnte structure. When President
Adams moved into the white house in
1907 his wife wrote that it was on a
grand and superb scale; but that bells
were wholly wanting, that wood was not
to he had, although the place was sur
rounded with forests; that they could
not use coal because they could not get
CRATES, and that the great unfinished
audience room they used as drying
room to hang clothing in. But she
thought the situation beautiful and
capable of every improvement. "-Ex-
