When they get hold of an old drunkard
in Sweden they send him up for 10 or 20
days and give him diet Of bread soaked in
his favorite liquor. For the first four days
he thinks he has soft thing. but after that
he begins to whoop for change, and by the
time he comes out cold water is good enough
for him. Such treatment here would be de-
clared unconstitutional, as tending to reduce
the income of saloons.

Macon (Ga.) Telegraph
A man living in Pickens county some
time ago worked neat trick to catch a
large trout that had long refused to be taken.
The trout declined, with thanks, any bait
that was handed to him on hook. He had
a certain hole under the bank that he could
Just crawl into on his hands and knees, and
when any suspicious-looking object came
around he would always crawl in and pull
the hole in after him. And by monkeying
with that hole the trout got his foot in it.
One day a man put hollow chunk under
the bank and the fish went into it, and when
the man lifted the chunk out Of the water
the fish was so overcome with surprise that
he tainted.

TEXAS JOURNALISM.

A new journalistic enterprise has taken
shape in Palestine, and has ell the ele-
ments of success in its commencement.
It is the Semi Weekly Times, edited by
Messrs. D. McNaughton and J. A.
Padou. The paper is clean, seven
column four-page sheet, and will be
issued semi weekly. This is new de-
parture and ought to take we'll with the
people of Anderson. The Times will be
a valuable addition TO the state press.
The Weatherford Constitution says,
editorially: Because the Associated Press
dispatches were al expensive luxury,
and not correspondingiy appreciated by
the business patrons of the paper, the
management deems It expedient to sus-
pend them for the present. Later. when
it shall appear that Weatherford is better
able or more willing to pay for this serv-
ice, 1t Will be resumed.
Mr.. R. l.. Bush, who has purchased
the Marble Falls Gazette, with his first
issue announces the lines on which the
sheet shall be conducted. The develop
ment of Marble Falls and Burnet county
is the objective point for which the Ga
zette will work.

The length of this little wonder Is i've
feet, and the height twenty inches.
Every piece of machinery about 1t is per-
feet, and the young man has been work

weighs 235 pounds with the tender and
is capable of hauling soc pounds. 1t
runs at a pressure of seventy-tiv pounds
of steam and can carry $50 pounds. The
boiler is seven inches in diameter and
twenty four inches long. 1t has a SAND
box, throttle, reverse lever, hampers TO
ash pan, water gauge, steam gauge ana
everything pertaining TO n locomotive.
The connecting links are perfect, aud 1t
runs backward and forward without any
trouble. The boiler is Grant boiler,
and holds three gallons OF water. The
tank will hold four gallons OF water.
! The sa box contains one-half pint oil
sand.
one of the smallest things connected
with it is the lamp in the headlight. 1t
contains q teaspoonful of oil and viii
burn an hour. There is also small

whistle Is a gem. 1t is very minute
affair, but emits clear, shrill sound .
Each of the drive wheels is six inches IN
