S%tanley'S Yooinp.

The story of Stanley's wooing is grad.
ually being disclosed. He first met Miss
Tenant when last in England, and for
awhile was received with the same cool
uess which usually characterized the
Iadyf PERCEPTION of attentions from gen.
tlement. But the indomitable courage,
energy and wonderful powers of descrip-
ton possessed By the explorer gradually
won the heart of one who possessed sim
liar traits in SO marked a degree, and
when Stanley managed to pluck up suf-
hcients courage to propose she tainted
with mingled delight and excitement.
She promised to wait until be returned
from his next African trip, and insisted
that their engagement should be kept
secret.
The letters which have passed between
"Stanley Africanus' and Miss Tenant,
if they ever see the light of publication
-love-letters of eminent persons are now
included in the printers prey-will be
truly curious stories, for no doubt the
explorer told more to his lady love than
be will ever confess elsewhere of the
awful tribulations of his march through
the African swamps and forests. His
Ibrother explorers were aware of Their
commanders love story, and many a tree
in the strange lands visited has dolly
deeply cut into the bark. The natives
used to think it the sign of the white
chiefs fetish and often Frustrated them.

An Infant GianteSs.

Pine Level, a hamlet in Texas, just
across the line dividing the State from
Louisiana, boasts of a ! phenomenon In the
share of a girl not yet quite ten years
old who has already attained the heiSh'
oil five feet, ten inches. She is the
daughter of James Rutherford. engineer
at the lumber mill of Carter, Robiuson&
Co. and who IS himself a giant in SIZE
while his wife is six feet and quarter IN
height. The girl, who was. her parents
say, al unusually small, sickly baby, be
gan to grow when she was about SIX
years old, and in four years has gained
two feet and a half, an almost unprece-
denied growth. She is stout and devel-
oped in proportion, and has the strength
of "a man, but her mind is feeble, or else
has been so outstripped by her bodE as
to give it no chance TO develop. The
young giantess presents 4 most remark
able spectacle with her childish face and
dress, seated playing in the sand or anus
ing herself with q DOLL Washington

FROM ROsH-HA-SHANAH TO THE
DAY OF ATONEMENT.


Sunday the 18th at sunset the
Jewish New Year 5651 began and
Monday following the business
houses were closed and the day OBJ
served by our Israelite friends in re-
ligious worship.
In the Pentateuch where 1t was
first ordained, the day is known by
the name of Yom Ieruh, the day of
blowing the trumpet, and Yom
Hazzikkaron, the day of memorial.
To these is yet added the name of
Yom Haddin, the day of judgment.
In the allegory of the Rabbis is a
beautiful myth to the effect that on
this day God sits in Judgment on
the deeds of His people with two
ledgers before him, each presided
over by recording angel. The
angel that records the good deeds is
happy and wreathed in sunny
smiles. The angel recording the evil,
is streaming with tears SO that his
ledger is blotted, whereas the for
mer's is clean. The good men are
inscribed to happy life, whence
the usual greeting among the Jews
to this day: 'Leshanah tova tilka-
sayo" (Mayest thou be inscribed to
good year, Those of evil are in
scribed. for misery, but have this
day the opportunity for repentance
which opportunity is heightened I'M
til the Day of Atonement, the Yom
Hakkippurim, making ten days OF
penitence in all.
The day is thus a day for sum.
moning the deeds of the past yeal
before the mind, symbolized by the
summoning notes of the rams horn,
and the observance of the day is
characterized by intense devotion.
The services for the Day of Atone
ment will take place on the evening
of the 23d and the day of the Oath
when all the Jews of Brennan will
again close their stores. Sunday, the
intervening Sabbath between these
two days, has special sanctity anc
is called Shabbes Teshubah, the
Sabbath of repentance. The Day o
Atonement is but the conclusion
and the intensifcation of thes'
thoughts and sentiments, that stric
observers of them remain in the SIN
agogues all day observing complet
fast, not taking food or water
These two days take precedence o
all Jewish holidays and are days o
rejoicing with God"

ARUNAMAY.

Tuesday morning Mr.. Hugh
Robertson was driving the steam
laundry wagon, in which was also
the little six-year-old son of Mrs.
CHM. As tie team came around
southwest corner of the courthouse
square Mr.. Robertson leaned over to
untwist a trace and as he did so gave
the horse a fright. The first
Jump or two turned the wagon over
and the horse ran dragging it, but
was stopped in front of DR.. Iris
trans drug store. Robertson climbed
out on the horse and deserves credit
for his efforts to stop him.
The little boy was thrown against
the cloth sides of the wagon which
perhaps prevented him from being
seriously hurt. The only damage in
what seemed to be a pretty bad
runaway, was broken shaft.

THE CELEBRATION.

The colored peoples celebration
of the anniversary of 18th 18th and
18th amendment to the constitution
commenced Fri d ay morning.
Early in the day there was crowd
of them in the city, and about ten
o'clock the parade commenced and
traversed the principle business por
ton of the city.
The procession was headed by a
single horsemen who was acting
grand marshal, followed in the or
der named, first by a large float with
canopy top covered and trimmed in
red and white, which represented a
scene in high life. 1t was parlor
scene, and furnished with an organ
and chairs on which reclined several
"dusky damsels" and two society
swells," one of which was attired in
full dress suit, puff bosom shirt
and a Reed sash.
Thesecond float was similar to the
first, but represented a scene a step
lower, but none the less honorable
in the social scale. It was domes,
tic scene and a woman was ener-
getically working the pedal of a
sewing machine.
But the third float was a ''home
picture, and natural. It was very
large float transformed into a cotton
field. The cotton was there. So were
about dozen boys pickingit leisure
ly and throwing green bolls at each
other. The climax of realty was
reached when one of them found 8
knot of watermelon and bursted il
over anothers head and they knock
ed out the cotton scrambling for it
The rear was brought up by a dar
key personating "Uncle Sam,
mounted on a small burro, wearing 6
hat, which if not the original was 6
re-block of the one worn by George
Washington when he crossed the
Potomac. His bright colored coat
tails trailed in the dust, and he was
the admiration of the small boy.
The parade altogether was very
creditable, though it in no way ri
vailed a New Orleans Mardi Gras
display, and it is said will be better
to-day. The crowd will be muct
larger to-day as many who could not
loose two days in succession vii
take Saturday of.

FREE DELIVERY.

Now that Congress has passed a
bill granting every city of over 5000
inhabitants free delivery, provided
that the postofice receipts are over
$4,000, BRENNAN should go to work
at once to secure it. There is one
other prerequisite, easily overcome
however, that is the houses must all
be numbered.
The council at its very next meeS-
ing might discuss the ACCESSIBILITY OF
having them numbered, it would
cost no great amount, and the con-
venience to the public would be
worth great deal more.
The receipts at the Office here are
more than the amount required, the
population is much more than five
thousand now all that is needed is the
houses numbered. Think of it. Shall
we have free delivery for the asking
or don't we want it, 1t strikes US that
it would be more desirable than pay
ing box-rent and to all those who do
business or reside any distance from
the office, much more convenient.
