Beautiful Alice AfriCanuS,

A prospective bride has arrived in
New York from Hamburg on the
steamship Main. She was taken at
once to the Hotel Carnivoria in Cen
trail park and introduced to her in
tended. The custom house officers
called the next day and collected
duty of $40 for allowing her to land.
A fee of $7O0 had previously been
paid to a foreign agent for her pos
session. But the young lady is con-
sldered cheap at these figures. She
has soft, melting brown eyes and
beautiful form. Her name is Alice
Africanus. Alice is lioness, 5 years
Old, and native of the distant
jungles. She was purchased by one
of Carl Hagenbeck's men from a ma
tive of the -Orabge river, who had
captured her while a cub, knocked
the savagery all out of her and had
a little knocked out of himself after
a hard struggle of several years, and
then led her hundreds of miles through
that dark land to the Cape of Good
Hope where he sold her.

He Wanted to Know.

The Trappist monastery situated in
Kentucky is the home of those monks
upon whom the injunction OF perpet-
ual silence is placed. The stories that
sift through to the outside world,
with more or less romantic detail,
concerning the individual monks OF
La Trappe are many There is one
told of a brother at Gethsemane
which is old but full OF dram attic sug-
gestion. He was a. soldier of Napo-
leon, SO it was said, and after the
emperor's first abdication took the
cowl of the Brown brothers and
ultimately came to Gethsemane.
Forty years he lived in silence. hear
ing nothing of the worlds history,
but with one item Of curiosity left UNI
quenched. When he came to die and
was lifted from his hard couch and
laid upon the harder floor, strewn
with straw, when all followers Of the
order must meet extremes, the abbot,
as is customary, told him he was at
liberty to ask any questions he de-
sired. What became ofthe emperor

then for the first time learned Napo-

A peculiar case was filed with the clerk

At a recent meeting of the pharmaceuti-
cal association of this state, resolutions
were passed asking the attorney-gener for
his opinion in regard to the purchasing OF
atiidavits or druggists permits for the sale
ofliquor. The law says that each druggist
shall return to the county auditor each
month all affidavits he has on hand wheth-
er used or not and this was the point OBJ
ected to. Druggists, instead of buying a
new supply of blanks each month, would
like to utilize the unsold blanks of the pre-
vious month and return only those used.
The attorney-gen eral interprets the law as
printed and say there is no other course for
the druggists to pursue.

A Professors Mistake.

For the foreigner who attempts en-
tering society ia America, the way is
beset with many obstacles, especially
in the choice of proper words to ex-
press the meaning to be conveyed.
Professor Mendel had been in this
country but a few weeks when it fell
to his good fortune to be invited to
one of the first homes of Philadelphia,
a prominent attraction of which was
several dark haired, black-eyed, and
and withal very stylish daughters.
A most delightful evening was passed
IN the society of the ladies, and in the
enjoyment of bountiful lunch pre-
pared in honor of the distinguished
visitor
At the proper hour the professor
announced that the time had ar
rived for his departure, and in his
leave taking, in his most gallant
manner, he thanked the hostess for
the very pleasurable evening he had
passed in her ''homely home and in
the company of her ''homely daugh-
tiers" The GOODNESS that existed be-
tween the professor and his gener-
Gus hostess and her daughters was
never fully dispelled until he ex-
planned that in Germany "homely"
signifed "hospitable," and certainly
none could have been more hespita-
bic than she and her hospitable

A VERY SHREWD FOX.
He Managed to Escape From an Is
land by Stimulating Death.

He Managed to Escape From an Is
land by Stimulating Death.
A recent writer tells an anecdote
which, though taxing belief, he says is
vouched for by an eyewitness Of the
affair. Some fishermen on the west
coast OF Ireland were in the habit of
going to a small island a few hun
dred yards from the mainland, in
quest OF bait. The island was inh lab
tied by large numbers of rabbits, and
could be reached at low tide by wad-
ing, the water there being only few
inches deep. One morning they went
in their boat quite early, it being high
tide, and on landing saw dead fox
lying on the beach. TIL efur of the ami
NAL was all bedraggled, and heseemed
to have been drowend. One of the
men. remarking that his skin was
worth something, pitched him into the
boat.
Procuring their bait they returned
to the mainland, and the man who
had possessed himself of the fox seized
him by the tail and flung him on the
shore. AS soon as the animal struck
the beach he picked himself up with
considerable agility for a dead fox,
and shot off like flash up among the
cliffs, while the men stood staring at
each other in mute astonishment.
The men concluded that he had
crossed over tc the island during the
night when the tide was low,
in search OF rabbits and
finding in the morning he was
cut off from the mainland, coun-
terfeited death, with the expectation
OF thereby procuring a passage to the
shore in a boat, an expectation which
was fully realized. Boston Cour-

Raided the Jail for Whisky.

The sheriff of Pearson county, S.
c., never had more thrilling and
doubtless unique experience than
that of Friday night last. A large
party of completely masked men rode
up to the Jail in the little town of
Roxboro, knocked at the sheriffs
door, and when he opened it rushed
in and compelled him to surrender
the keys. He expected, of course,
they were after prisoners to lynch
them, but was astonished when they
went to a cell in which the deputy
revenue collector had placed a GUAM
tity of illicit whisky for safe keeping.
After they had recaptured the whisky
they gravely shook hands with the
sheriff, loaded the stuff on a wagon,
and, forming in regular marching
order, left town as quietly as they
had entered it.
