PUCK says Mr. Reed may believe anything from the trausmigration of souls to the greenchceseness of the moon. That is right. Enough for a Republican to know is that he believes in the Republican party, and withstand by 1t right or wrong.

SOME of our contemporaries are taking on white heat over the discus. sion of the renewing of the charter ul the Louisiana State Lottery.

ONE Lacy, from somewhere. late of Arkansas congressional investigating notoriety, has made himself long cared animal by having himself inter viewed, and talking entirely too much with his mouth We mean the gentle man, the forty horse power gentleman. talks with his facial orilicc alone. not using the ordinary brain guidance which most men do. We suppose he would use the said brain guidance if he had it, but the cavity of his head being filled with gaseous substance known as wind, he has to depend upon brainless utterance entirely. He tells a Phila- delpha reporter that he had his life insured before he came to Arkansas, and that if he had gone to Conway county he would have been killed. Arkansas ought to pity Mir Lacy.

WE feel certain that MT. Lacy would have been killed while in Arkansas. but for the reviving, by the last lcgisla- ture, of an old territorial law of 1920, attaching fine of five hundred dollars to the crime of killing jack-asses in the spring of the year. The honorable gen tleman--and tho committee were all honorable--owcs his precious life to the reyivification of this ancient law.

A Wonderful Nut.

The fruit of the coco-de-mer, which
General "Chinese" Gordon believed to be
the forbidden fruit of the Garden of
Eden, has been exported to Europe. The
nut weighs twenty pounds and measures
twenty-five inches across. The palm on
which it grows Qodoicea sechellarum) is
100 feet in height, and is only to be found
on the Seychelle Islands, Hundreds of
years before the Seychelles were discov-
cred these nuts were washed up on the
Maldive Islands, and the wiseacres of
those days told the people that this sea-
borne fruit had grown on submarine
tree. and that it had mysterious power
of counteracting poisons. Hence the
name-coco-de-mer 1t is probable that
Gorden met with illusions to this Won
derful nut in Arabic MSS, and after
ward visiting Seychelles was struck by

and their double cocoanut.-C Chicago

Marriage of Two Giants.

1t was a grotesque wedding that was
celebrated the other evening in the
dining room of boarding-house on
West Sixth street that is patronized al
most exclusively by museum performers
and freaks. The high (extra) contract
ing parties were Fred A. Shields, one of
the Texas Tall Brothers, who is q hands
breadth over seven feet in height, and
Nine Anna O'Brien, nee Parsons, the
German giantess, who doesn't yield an
inch to her husband in height. She is
the widow of the late lamented Patrick
O'Brien, the Irish giant. When they
faced the minister, good DR.. Henderson,
of the Trinity NJ. E. Church, who never
dreamed of claiming over five feet and
couple of inches, the sight was simply
ludicrous. When he asked the needful
questions he shouted upward, and their
responses were whispered down in the
modest tones of bashful giants, making
it seem as if the conversation was being
carried on by two big people in second
story window and little man down on
the doorstep. Heidi not attempt to hold
his hands over their heads in benedic-
ton, as no ladder was convenient,
and the posture would be ungraceful.
After the ceremony Mast Toowey and
Thomas Wright signed the certificate,
and the party sat down to wedding
supper, the ponderous lovers at the head
of the table, serving the guests as though
they were grown-up children. The giant
honeymooners start out on their bridal
tour with a circus. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Female Pilot.

A woman has been licensed as pilot
on the Ohio and Monongahela Rivers.
She is the first one within the recollection
of Captain Neeld, of the Steamboat In
spector's office, and his memory of River
events covers many years. 1t is not un-
likely that she is the pioneer of her sex
in this branch of navigation in this di-
vision of the river trade.
The woman is Mrs. Callie l.. French,
and her husband runs circus, which he
transports by water in a trim little
steamer known as French's New Sensa-
ton. The circus is known by the same
name. The license was issued to Mrs.
French, and she went on duty under it
at once. About nine years ago." said
Mrs. French, ''my husband hit upon the
scheme of running boat show; that is,
giving exhibitions in towns along the
river and using the boat for transporting
the outfit and furnishing living quarters
for our people. 1t is much cheaper,
cleaner and pleasanter than travelling by
rail, and we are not obliged to remove
our personal baggage. The first few years
we employed regularly licensed pilot,
and my husband, who had masters
license, had charge of the boat. l then
conceived the idea of learning to be q
pilot and thus save big item of ex-
pense. So l did, and for half dozen
years past have held pilots license. I
recently made application for a masters
license also, at New Orleans, and l ex-
pect to get it."-PatsJurg Commercial

A Violin Sold for $4,000.

Ten thousand dollars is now the high
est recorded price for violin. The Alard
Stradivarius has passed from France to
England for that sum, to go into the col
lection of Scotchman. 1t is dated 1716.
1t is described in the catalogue of the
South Kensington exhibition of 1872 as
the only one in a condition of perfect
preservation. 1t was bought in 1850 by
an Italian amateur, Count Cozio di Sala-
bue. after whose Death it was purchased
in 1924 by famous collector, Luigi
Tarsio. Tarisio hid it away, refusing to
let any one see it, till his death in 1854.
A year later it was purchased by Vuii-
laume. Its condition of preservation led
to the belief that it had scarcely been
played upon during the whole $50 years
of its existence. Vuiilaume left it on his
death to his son-in-law, Alard, who has
lust sold it.

A Table Leg Puts Forth Buds and Leaves

"Two years ago." says q writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle, ''some altera-
tions in my grounds necessitated the cut
ting down of large, old ounce tree. 1t
was about eight inches thick through the
trunk, with three evenly grown and SYM
metrical branches springing from the
main trunk.
"Just the thing I wanted as a pedestal
for rustic table in the arbor," 1
thought.
~ had the tree trimmed off carefully,
and with my plan in view, after it had
been taken up l had it sawed in two, so
as to leave my pedestal intact, consisting
of one foot of the trunk of the tree with
its three branching prongs, leaving each
of these about four feet long. To the end
of each branch had nailed cross piece
of board about foot long, so as to give
solidity to my pedestal, when, inverting
should become leg of my table. Next
hole was dug in the center of the arbor
and the inverted tree placed squarely in
it, and two feet of earth packed solidly
around the blocked ends of the limbs. A
rustic table top was then nailed firmly
upon the trunk and my table was done.
"Now comes the curious part of the
story. Two years after this inverted
trunk was planted, when the springtime
came it put forth leaves and branches
and perfected blooms as fair as any in
the orchard. In our glorious climate al
most anything will grow if you will give
it half a chance. This know right well.
But by mailing the square blocks of wood
firmly upon the end of each limb before
planting it had taken even that half
chance away, since by SO doing I had
prevented the direct contact of the alb
sorbent portion of the tree with the mois-
ture in the ground, leaving only the pores
in the bark to drink in what they could
of the elixir of plant life. And yet the
tree grew, and is growing still, in this
upside-down position.

Story Of q Greenback.

In 1854 when Confederate camp was
located on Marietta street, an incident
occurredwhich, with its sequel, makes an
interesting "reminiscences of the days
when the old Atlanta was more of a sol.
dier's barricks than city. The camp to
which allude, writes contributor to
the Atlanta Constitution, was good way
out on Marietta, and the site is now oc-
cupied with number of new dwelling
houses. DR.. Roy, of this city, was one of
the physicians at the camp.
The late Captain Alphonse Hurtel, of
the Twenty fourth Alabama, had been
placed in temporary charge of the prison,
and one day Federal prisoner gave to
him 800 greenback bill to keep, fear
ing theft on the part of other prisoners.
Shortly afterward the prisoner escaped.
Captain Hurtcl sent the money to his wife
in Mobile, Ala, telling her to keep it,
and if he did not send for it, and the
Confederacy fell, to use it. When Mobile
surrendered that 500 was God send to
one of the many impoverished families of
the Gulf City.
And now the strange sequel:-Ten
years after the close of the war, one
day while Captain Hurtel was sitting in
his office,a poor and ragged sailor walked
in and asked:
''ls this Captain Hurtel?"
After quick glance at the mans feat
ures Captain Hurtel answered: "Yes,
and you are the soldier who gave me the
S1O0 bill in Atlanta, Ga, during the
war;"
eyes, sir, am, +" the sailor replied, as
the tears rolled down his cheeks" and if
you will give me just SIS of it now l will
be thankful"
A check for 800 was given him, and
the man fell on his knees and wept like
child. Once again had the same money

need

testing the deadly qualities OF this fright
full object, he runs stick into tho poi
soned heart, calls his squaw, and makes
her cash her arm as tho Piute does his
arm. As the blood runs from the wound
the poisoned stick is touched to it. If
the venom is active, the blood will
coagulate and turn black, and change to
dry powder. The squaw has to look
out for her own safety IN wiping away
the poison before it reaches the wound,
for the brave walks away to steep his
arrows in the poisoned heart as soon as
he sees the venom's action on his squaw's
