some Nightmare Tales.

The Rev. John Campinus, Swedish
preacher who came to America in Feb
ruary, 1912, and landed at 1.-THE Rocks, .
within the present limits of the city of
Wilmington, Del, was either troubled
with the nightmare or was the worst liar
ever produced by the Scandinavian ma
ton. Below give few samples of his
able yarns:
"There is kind of fly here which the
natives call 'cucuyo,' and which in the
night time gives so strong light that it
is sufficient when man is travelling to
show him the way. have often tray
eled the darkest nights with no torch
but one of these flies made fast to my
cap"
Further along, in his ''New Sweden, y
the Rev. John says, "There is here also
a serpent which has head like a dog
and can bite off mans head as clear as
if it had been cut off with an ak.
There is also serpent which has little
seeds in a pocket in his head, and by
wagging the same the rattle may be
heard 100 yards"
A species of crab which he mentions
had "a tail an ell long and made like a
three edged saw, with which he saws
down trees. st. Louis Republic.

The Woman Reporter.

1t is easy to spot newspaper women
all the world over. There is an air Of
business about them that is unmistaka-
BILE, and then they are always dressed
for the weather. They usually come to
hotel breakfast cloaked and bonneted
for days work, and they start out
with a determined air which plainly
says that they are going to see all that
is to be seen and great deal that isn't.
Let sudden storm come up and it is
the newspaper woman who turns her
cloak wrong side out, showing pretty
waterproof lining, draws forth pair of
light rubbers from an inside pocket, I'M
furls the umbrella which she always
carries and sails proudly on, putting to
scorn the weaker sisters who are never
prepared for anything unexpected.

He WAS Wrong.

He carefully prepared the small gar
den plot while his wife, deeply interest
ed in his labor, stood watching him,
After he had put in the seeds and
smoothed off the bed his wife took his
arm to accompany him to the house, and
ON the way she asked:
"When will tho seeds come up, JohnY
He was one of those men who take
pleasure in saying smart thing when
the opportunity offers, so laying his hand
caressingly on her shoulder, he said;

all, Maria"
"You don'tr she exclaimed; then
why have you gono to all that troubleT
With the smile that springs from
superior knowledge he answered:

flowers will by and by

hens got into his garden plot that day
and the seeds did come up.-New York

The energetic housewives of Athens
Ga, have seized upon an idea as pretty
as it is practical. They have organized

agriculture has given them the same
recognition he gives the farmers clubs.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The dispute
between Great Britain and Venezuela
over the boundaries between the latter
republic and British Guiana is likely to
be very much embittered by the action
of the colonial authorities of British
Guiana in taking actual possession of a
tract of some 900 square miles within
the territory claimed by the republic OF
Venezuela. The territory thus annexed
by the British crown is very rich in gold
and silver mines and includes two navl-

listing legislation as to their removal.
A rather animated discussion arose
upon a resolution offered by Mr.. Slrer-
man for immediate consideration, call
ing upon the secretary of the treasury
for a report as to the increase or de-
crease of expenditure which would re-
suit from the transfer of the revenue
marine service to the navy department,
some additional interest being infused
into this question by the pending Behr-
ing sea dispute.
Mr.. Chandler suggested an amend
ment to the resolution so as to include
a statement of the number of vessels,
the caliber of the guns mounted ON the
cutters, the number of officers and crew,
the number of miles traversed during
the last year, and also whether the dis
cipline of the crew in handling the
great guns was the same as that of the
navy.
Mr.. Sherman accepted the amendment
and also had no objection to offer to an
other suggestion made by Mr.. Allison,
that the report should also include the
number of officers of the revenue marine
service who would be placed on the re-
change were carried out. AS amended,

and hastily wipe it off, then, not con-
tent, will Immediately whisk tho brush

had been at so much pains to remove
The same woman, when she puts a
stick Of wood on the fire, instead of

gives vigorous poke, which scatters
them in all directions, and if the fire be
low the chances are it will be slow in

some years by British subjects. who
have refused to recognize the Venezue-
Ian authorities and submitted to the GOV
ernment of the British magistrates, but
now the latter have actually taken pos
session and the colonial government has
issued laws for the government Of the
province. A grant OF land has also been
made to the bishop Of Demerara for the
erection and maintenance of a church at
the town Of Karawhanna. This will be
likely to call out something more than a
mere reinonsrance from the Venezuelan
government.
The Worlds Fair.
Willard P. Tsidell, Esq, the CONNER
cial commissioner sent out in the inter-
est of the Chicago exposition, has re-
turned to the Isthmus Of Panama from
trip along the northern coasts of
Colombia and Venezuela. He was en-
gagged in securing material for the pro-
posed comm rcial exhibit, which will
undoubtedly be of the greatest interest
and value to all manufacturers and ex-
porters in the United States, as it will
enable them to see at glance the exact
needs and requirements of the people in
each region of country, in the kind,
quality and pattern of goods for their
use A large number of interesting
specimens have already been obtained
and shipped to this country for that pur-
pose.
A most cordial reception has been ex-
tended to the commissioner at all the
places visitet. by him, and the merchants
have shown the greatest interest in the
matter, aiding him by all the inform Y
ton in their possession, assisting him in
procuring samples and in every way
showing disposition favorable to<a
closer trade relation with this country.
After short stay at Panama the COM
missioner left for the west coast of
South America on the 25th of February.
The Peruvian commission has made
special application to the government at
Lima for the purpose of securing dis
play of living animals from that coun-
try. They suggest the Importance of
this matter to all breeders, especially of
the animals peculiar to that region, such
as llamas, alpacas, paco-vicunas and
others, and there is no doubt that very
creditable exhibit will be sent to the
Chicago exposition.
