turning its attention to the crocodile
pets at Maabeteh, where there is a rich
mine of nitrates of immense extent
The crocodiles are laid like sardines in
a box, with palm leaves between them,
the interstices being filed up with
myriads of eggs. The crocodiles are
done up in bundles, covered with
cloth. It is believed hat beyond these
are vaults containing mummied croco-

A correspondent tells a curious story
Of animal sagacity. He once knew a
dog who used to run on the legs of one
side-a sort of one sided shambler. The
animal would start in the usual way,
and when he had acquired a sufficient
momentum tuck up the legs of one side
and, leaning over toward the other side,
scamper along on two legs until tired.
He would then acquire fresh impetus,
and give the other legs a urn at this ex-
hilarating exercise. The correspondent
writes from Cyprus, not Crete. -London

The Great Explorer.

Henry M. Stanley started on his
last expedition early in 1885. He
was then in America giving a
course of lectures, when an associa-
ton was formed in England with
Sir William Mackinnon at its head,
the object of which was to rescue
Emin Bey from aperilous position.
This philanthropist and statesman
had been lost sight of after the fall
of Khartoum and his life was de-
SPARED of, as after Gen. Gordon,
the Governor-General of the Sou
dan, was killed, Emin was the OBJ
ject of intense hate to the Moharn-
medans. The call for duty as lead
er of the expedition reached him
while in the midst of a lecture tour,
and was Immediately accepted, all
other engagements being cancelled
at once. The King of the Belgians,
the Kh edive of Egypt and the
English prom oters of the expedi-
ton all agreed that Stanley was the
best person for the journey. On
June %, 1886, Stanley started up
the Congo with 375 Indians and
three English officers, and In three
years travelled over 5000 miles Of
swamp, impenetratable tropical
forest, through deadly malarial
regions and incessant rains, finding
Emin Bey at Lake Albert Nyanza.

suggesting that statistics be gather

visitor at one of the uptown hotels
last week is the proprietor of a
chewing gum factory in Elkhart,
Ind. Speaking Of his factory,
which is one of the smallest and
least important in the country, ne
said:
"Thus far this year we have
made and sold 100000 worth of
tie stuff. We employ $50 men
and girls, and we ship to jobblng
houses in every large city in the
country. There are in the United
States alone fully a dozen large
factories employing as many peo'
pie as we do, and in most cases
more. The annual output of these
factories will average $3.50, 900 pei
year, making total production Of
more than s5,0OO,0O0, and there
are enough smaller confectionery
establishments to increase the an
nual production to at least Sc, 600.

WE are informed that one or
two doctors of this city are very
much exercised in regard to wheth"
er or not the LEDGER stated that
they had said there was never any
scarlet fever in Mexico. We stated
in the LEDGER, on Dec. 81, that the
doctors of Mexico said there was
no scarlet fever in town. On that
date we did not get to see all the
doctors, as some of them were busy,
we presume, attending to their
patients. Those we did see on
that day said there was no scarlet
fever in Mexico, as far as they
knew. Since that time we believe
we have seen all the others, with,
perhaps, one exception, and they
also say that, as far as they know,
there was no such disease in Mex.
leo on that date. We never have
said or intimated that there never
was scarlet fever in this city. We
simply say that every statement in
the Mexico LEDGER attributed to
Doctor Walker is true and can be
proven.

He Wanted to See an Overcoat.
"Fwould like to look at an over
eeat," said a seedy-looking in
dividual, entering one of our lead
ing clothing houses the other day.
The gentlemanly clerk eyed him
suspiciously for a moment, and
then said: "About what price?"
"Oh, that's no matter" said the
seedy stranger. "Show me some
thing nice and warm" "Aha,"
thought the clerk, zone of those
fellows from the country with a
pocketful of money. Just watch
nae now" He overhauled pile after
pile of coats, but nothing suited.
Finally he brought out a
fine, soft coat, fur cuffs and
large fur collar. "Only $40. Just
as good as tailor would
charge you $50 for.'' The stranger
looked at it carefully for about five
minutes, and the salesman's eyes
sparkled IN anticipation of an easy
sale. Finally the seedy individual
turned to the salesman and said,
with sigh, "Thankee. It's been
so long since I've seed a good warm
overcoat that thought it would do
me good to see one again, sir. Lord
bless you, no l couldn't buy it, not
if it was forty cents. LEST wanted

cotton, worth $3.50, ,OO0, 900, and Its
cash equivalent In grain, grasses
and fruit. The progress of the
negroes is thus given: 1 present
the tax books of Georgia, which
show that the negroes, twenty-five
years ago a slave, has in Georgia
alone $40, 200, 600 of assessed prop
erty, worth twice that much. The
educational outlook is bright under
the following statement: The
South, since 1865, has spent 1922
600, 900 in education, and this year
is pledged to s37 900, 600 more fol

the blacks, paying one-thirteenth
of the taxes, get nearly one-halt ol

MARRIED AT MIDNIGHT.
Arthur Hughlett Elopes With
Miss Lille Read.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, Dec. "a
Early Sunday evening Probate
Judge Hawn was visited at his
residence by a young couple anx-
ious to have him perform the mar
riage ceremony. They proved to
be Miss Lille Read of St. Joseph
and Arthur Hughlett, formerly Of
Wellsville, Mo-, but now an Attor.
ney of St. Louis. They were in
formed that he could not perform
such a duty on Sunday and were
asked to wait until the following
day.
Observing the impotence to have
the ceremony performed the Judge
suggested as compromise that
they should walt until midnight,
when he would 60 to the Court
House with them, there to make
them man and wife. To this the young
pair consented and a tew minutes
after midnight Miss Read became
Mrs. Hughlett. They returned
yesterday afternoon to st. Joseph,
where they met an angry father on
the BRIDES side, the mother being
complaisant.
Miss Read was engaged to a
prominent wholesale dry goods
merchant and the runaway was a
complete surprise.
Miss Read and young Hughlett
first met at Jefferson City during
the session of the Thirty fifth
General Assembly. Miss Read had
a clerkship on the enrolling force of
the House, while Hughlett drew a
salary from a Senate Committee.
The duties of their respective posi-.
tions, which consisted principally
of drawing the salary attached
thereto, did not interfere to any
great extent with the god Cupid
who held executive sessions until
his work was completed. After the
adjournment of the Legislature
Miss Read went to Kentucky to
visit relatives while Mr.. Hughlett
returned to Welsville and later
went to St. Louis. After MISS
Reads return to St. Joseph Hugh
lett's visits were quite frequent un-
til the elopement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughlett will re-
side at Wellsville, Mo.
