The portrait is drawn on the spot, be-
! cause l so seldom see a large man with
whiskers wearing a crochetted chlld's
hood or even q chid's crochetted hood,
for shat matter, that 1 can't help max
ing sentimental drawing OF him, as we
say in New Orleans, which city is rapid
ly becoming a nice, quiet suburb OF the
Louisiana State Lottery.
Texarkana is a thriving town with
excellent natural advantages and new
stvle OF early dwarf flea, which is re-
suit Of crossing the little mammoth
black hornet or typhoid touch-me-not
of the tropics with the seven year erup-
ton Of the primary school.
The California flea is beast of more
delicacy and refinement. he enters
YOUR home life and eats your latest
children, but he does it in courteous
way, with his hat off, and uses the fin
ger bowl afterward; but the flea OF Ar
kansas gets into bed with his spurs on,
and has the debris of his breakfast IN
his beard.
He is a low, coarse flea, with whiskegs
on his limbs, and bad, wicked hears.
He has none of those fine instincts
which we find In the California flea.
The Pacific Coast flea takes off his hat
in the elevator, but the Arkansas flea
uses the bosom of the universe for a
pocket handkerchief.
I can never describe my feelings
when I thought that | was alone and
the solemn tones of the midnight bell
moaned through the hush OF the voice
less night, to feel the harsh whiskers Of
the Arkansas flea against my long
white neck and shoulders.
Has the reader ever gone through
such an experience? Did the reader
ever feel this way and know that now
was the time for his hair to turn sudo" n
" white, yet knowing that it was at ! e
bottom of his trunk and could not be SIT
at?
What 1 hate about the flea OF ISIS
State is that he will not lie stillS)f
nights. A failure to maintain my eQ1i-
librium at the bank for several yedrs
made me acquainted with sevetal
strange bed fellows who were not pro-
| vided with letters to me, but l never
knew anybody in my life that woSld
overload his digester and then get rest
less at night and put all his cold feet in
the pit of a total strangers stomach,
and then straighten out his legs and
push man to the wall like the Arkansas
flea.
I have a tender, thin, aristocratic
skin, which is very delicate and sensi-
tive, the color often mounting to my
brow, bathing neck and face, even while
reading chapter OF the Scriptures
without rehearsal, and so 1t happens
that flea will often come and look
over the register and be assigned TO ny
room, even when some travelling saies-
man who is handling iron bridges, per-
haps, has a better room. So fell a
ready victim to these Arkansas Per
cheron feas. They come into my rtom
with their wet umbrellas and stop Over
night, and in the morning look life a

Have you ever eaten cooked bananas?
Here IS a way Of preparing them which
may not have been known 70 you:
Place eight bananas, peeled mot over

pour over them half a pint OF good

Her Ruin Accomplished by the Man

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 81. - The
fourth day of the Martin trial was the most
sensational Of all. The entire day was taken
up with the examination of the defendant,
Mrs. Julia A. Martin. She told her story
from beginning TO end without hesitation.
It was, in brief, that in 1873 or 1879 Ed
Martin, whom she afterward killed, ac-
complished her ruin. Subsequently he pro-
duced an abortion upon her to destroy the
fruits of their folly. After her recovery
she went from bad to worse, and as
inmate of a house Of ill-fame she met
Clarence d. Martin, who fell in love with
her aud married her. Ed induced bis
brother TO leave her and then prosecuted
her with detective in an effort to procure
grounds for Clarence to ask for a divorce
When she found out his scheme she came to
Birmingham, and the result of her interview
with Ed Martin was the killing Her cross
examination was not concluded when the
court adjourned.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, April 2l.-The pres

created quite an animated scene around

occupy the remainder OF the week, and the
impression now is that the grand jurys re-
port will not be made for some days. Many
of these witnesses are prominent citizens,
and the cause of their having been sum-
moned is a matter of conjecture, but the
general impression is that the grand jury
is still investigating the Malta case.
FAvA CARRYING THE CORRESPONDENCE
PARIS, April 21.-Baron Fava will go to
Rome tomorrow. He conveys the official
correspondence with the United States
government in chest over which a mill
tary guard has watched since Baron
Fava landed at Havre. The Baron
maintains reJicence. but it is as
serted that he differs much with
his government regarding the manner lin
which Italy should treat the United States.
The baron is accused of "lapsus calami" in
transatinR the first Italian note communi-
Gated TO Secretary Blaine. Italy demanded
the "giudeiro' of the lYnchers, which Baron
Fava wrongly translated punishment" 1t
is further considered that Baron Fava exnE-
gerated the tone OF Premier Rudini's pro-
test, or that he did not comprehend its
meaning. Italy, it is maintained, is COM
PEELED to assume an air of decision in order
not to break too suddenly the Crispi
traditions in the Italian foreign policy.
