William Hardie, of Fort Bowie, and
Miss Hattie Quinn were married by tele-
graph few days ago The would be
bride arrived at Bowie, and naturally
being anxious to have the knot tied at
the time set the contracting parties
went forth to secure the services of
some one authorized to perform such a
ceremony. They were startled to find
that there was no one at the post who
could act.
Their minds were soon relieved by the
telegraph operator telling them they
could be married by telegraph and offer
ing to perfect the arrangements, which
offer of course was accepted. The Rev.
Brant G. Hammond, post chaplain of
Fort Apache, 275 miles away, performed
the ceremony. The operators at San
Carlos, 225 miles, and Cooney's ranch
300 miles away, acted as witnesses. All
the customary questions were asked and
answered over the wire.-Tombstone

The story that the ark has been found
in tolerable state of preservation in a
chasm high up on the sides of Ararat is
no doubt the old fake" in new dress,
the aforesaid old fake having made
something like semiannual rounds of
the press for the last dozen years. But,
be it truth or fiction Gt ought to be the
truth, a bishop of Jerusalem being
among the eyewitnesses of the recent

summit in human history" and the peak
which emerged from the food and lift

An English Custom.

June is famous in the annals of Dun.
more, an English town, as the day on
which a fitch of bacon is awarded an
nually by jury of spinsters or bach
elors to any married couple that can
prove that they have been married a
year and a day or longer without quar-
rel of any kind. This year there were
five sets of claimants for the prize, one
of whom had been married long enough
to have golden wedding, for in the old
days it was a rare occurrence for any
couple to claim the reward from the se-
we're jury, the oath requiring not only
that they had had no quarrels, but also
that they had never regretted their mar
riage and if open to engagement would
make the same again. The custom is
one of such great antiquity that its date
is lost in curity.-Exchange

Mrs. Graham looked curiouslv at the

Deborah did so, and the three bent

Then she made quick rush for Jim,
and hugged and fondled him until he
bit her to make her let him go, when he
flew to the top of the spring house, and
stood there chattering his discomfort at
such rough handling.
"You dear old crow!' exclaimed
Marian. IF you hadn't stolen my ring

The Dinner Hour in History.

1t is believed by some that the word
dinner springs from corruption of the
word dixheures, indicating the time at
which In the old Norman days this
meal was taken. The mere idea of hav-
ing dinner at the barbarous hour of 10
o'clock in the morning would, in all
probability, send modern chef into a
fit, yet it was at this early time that per
sons of quality both in this country and
France, partook of the meal. Froissart
mentions waiting upon the Duke of Lam
caster at 5 in the afternoon, after he had
supped, and during the reigns of Francis
/ and Louis XII of France fashionable
people dined from 1870 and supped at
the latest at 6 in the evening. And again,
from Northumberland household book,
bearing date 1919, we learn that the
family rose at 6, breakfasted at z, dined
at 10, supped at A, and shut the gates at
p. m.
Speaking generally, though the dinner
hour then, as now, was later in this
country than in France, Louis XIV did
not dine till 12, while his contempora-
ries, Cromwell and Charles II, took the
meal at 1. In 1900 the hour was ad-
vanced to 2, and in 1851 we find that the
Duchess of Somerset's dinner time was
8. In 1850 Cowper speaks of A o'clock
as the then fashionable time. After the
battle of Waterloo 6 p. m. was the time
at which the beau monde took their sub
stantial meal, while at the present day
many of the nobility do not dine until 8
or 0, so we see through 400 years the
dinner hour has gradually moved
through twelve hours of the day-from
a. m. to 9p. IN. When the dinner hour
was so early often no previous meal was
taken.-Chambers' Journal.

The American AK Helve.

All the world admires and wonders at
the American ak helve. The American
ak fitted with that ingeniously curved
and gracefully fashioned handle is a
marvelously effective weapon, vastly
more apt for its purposes than the
straight handled headsman's ak with
which the Italian fells trees, or the
broad faced hatchet used for the same
purpose in France. The American ak
helve is just what might have been ex-
pected of an inventive people laden with
the duty of conquering and civilizing a
forest clad continent. The world had
been using the AK since prehistoric times.
but 1t remained for the American pioneer
to fashion the ideal AK handle, at once
light, strong and elastic. The AK such
as is familiar to all Americans is rare in
Europe, and it sells in all the British
colonies as the American ax.-New York

A Singular Dental Operation.

Anson Washburn, the 14-year-old son
of Austin Washburn, of the Bee line.
sat in DR.. j. B. Morrison's Office reading
a paper and tanning himself unconcern-
edly. He has passed through one of the
most remarkable operations known in
dental surgery. When he was about {
years of age he had an attack of scarlet
fever that caused the retention of foul
teeth on the right side of the upper jaw
DR.. Morrison made an exploration and
found the teeth and drew two of them
down. One of them did not require
much attention, except careful watch
ing.
When exploring for the eye tooth he
found it between the hard palate and
the floor of the nose, pointing toward
the left jaw. The tooth was imbedded
in sack of pus, and the most careful
treatment was needed in removing the
pus and to prevent it from aggravating
the cut parts and causing blood poison.
The tooth and its bony attachments were
cut loose, carefully cleaned of all foreign
substances and placed in their proper
position. The central incisor was kept
out of the boys mouth for two and a
half hours. The teeth that were changed
about are growing nicely, and young
Washburn said that he is suffering no
pain, no inflammation has set in and his
teeth are in good condition. He was
thoroughly under the influence of ether
during the operation. The operation is
out of the ordinary. ry.-Indianapolis News.

When the protectionist organs declare
that the Mckinley tariff has not ad-
vanced prices they wish to be distinctly
understood that it has advanced them
for all producers or manufacturers who
have been voting the Republican ticket
in the belief that the policy of the party
would enable them to get better prices
for their products and wares. 1t is for
this reason that the same organs which
tell the farmer that the imposition of
duty ON what he buys has really lowered
the price and was intended to do so; has
raised the price Of what he produces and
was put on for that purpose. 1t is a
great thing, this tariff, and greatest of
all in its double endedness, so to speak.

Child of the dismal mine,
Compact of chilly steel,
Flowing the brine!
Thou canst not surely feel
That sense divine
Which, urged by sail and oar.
The good ship felt of yore,
Constructed. deck to keel,
OF Pontic pine.
Then every seasoned plank
That sailed the sea
Rose softly, softly sank,
Riding the waves in buoyant majesty,
And fair white sails,
Tall spars with streamers decked,
Bent to the rising gales,
That with crisp foam the heaving ocean
flecked.
But thee the summer breeze,
The roaring winters blast
That bows the trees,
Move not; thou steamest past
In spite of these.
Not as in days of old;
Nor in the sultry hold,
With sullen wheeze,
Thy furnace fierce is coaled,
And grimy hands thypulsing pistons grease

The cowhorn fly, or buffalo horn fly
as it is sometimes called, has been very
annoying this season in some northern
states and in Canada. 1t is so called be-
cause it attaches itself to the roots of
the horns at night. Cows so tormented
lose their appetite and give little milk.
The application of lard to the parts af-
fected is said to be remedy, but farm
ers generally consider it too expensive.
There are great many shortsighted
farmers who persist in feeding worth
less flies with costly cows in order to
avoid a little outlay.-Hoard's Dairy

Costly War Implements.


Tens of thousands of pounds of capital
have to be sunk ere single III ton gun
can be manufactured A particular
reason for its being costly to make is that
its production consumes great amount
of time. To build such a gun takes as
long as to build a first class cruiser. Yet
another reason lies in the fact that there
are many and inevitable failures, which
entail great waste of labor, if not of ma
terial.
The Ill ton guns, without their mount
ings, cannot be produc d or sold to the
government for much less than Gt5 900
apiece, the 81 ton guns for less than
about ETC, 800 or the 45 ton guns for less
than $4,000, and the expense of firing
these guns, apart from the wear and tear
of the weapons, mountings and ships,
may be judged from the amount of pow
der and the weight of projectile used
In the case of the III ton gun the full
powder charge is 960 pounds of slow
burning cocoa or $50 pounds of West
phalian brown prism, and the projectile
weighs 300 pounds.
In the case of the 67 ton gun the full
powder charge Of slow burning cocoa is
$50 pounds, while the projectile is of
1850 pounds weight. In the case of the
45 ton gun the full charge of brown
prismatic powder is 295 pounds, and the
projectile weighs ia pounds. The esti-
mated cost of one round from the largest
gun is about ESQ, from the second about
ESQ and from the smallest about G30
but this is the cost of powder, cartridge
and projectile nly.-London Tit-Bits.

DIR. w. S. Howell, brother of the
editor of the Vienna Progress, had a
skeleton in box. One day he pulled
out the ugly, ghastly, grinning skull
and began to handle it. Finally he de-
cided that he wanted that skull opened
so that he could study the inside struc.
ture. There being several seams in the
skull he decided to fill the skull with
peas and soak them in water, thinking
that they would force the seams apart.
He asked the editor to help him, and
the latter poured peas and water into
the hollow bone and corked up the eye
and nose holes to keep them from run
ming out. Some time after the editor
was startled to see that peas had sprouted
in the skull and the vines were of most
wonderful growth. OUT of the hole
where the backbone is Joined to the
neck an army of little vines had grown,
and by some unknown instructive power
they had twined in and through all the
bones of that body.
The young tendrils had wrapped
around the stovepipe and table legs and
the whole skeleton had been reared up
ward in the middle of the room. From
the nostrils and eyes vines were stream
ing that had clustered around and upon
the presses, stands and tables, and from
each joint hung pod in likeness of a
small skull, the exact counterpart of the
large one. 1t is rumored that when the
editor beheld these things he left the
Office by the window route, and the
skeleton is still in full editorial control.
