Her highness Shah Jenan Begun, the
daughter Of the late Sikander Begun.
the last rulero of Bhopal, was remark
able woman In every sense of the word
She reigned during the mutiny and gave
valuable help to, the British govern
ment, especially In assisting Sir Henry
Durand and his party OF fugitives in
escaping from the Indore residency.
She was also q fierce, strong and re-
lentless woman and kept her daughter,
the present Begun, in state of abject
submission. Once, when her daughter
met at the house Of a relative young
man Of the royal house Of Delhi, who
was q suitor for her hand, she impris-
oned her for months in her own room
and beat her with her own hand, while
the unfortunate lover was confined in
an iron cage hung at the gate of the
fort and was only released after some
months on the persistent remonstrances
Of the British political officials.
The present Begun is now over fifty
years Of age, very small In person, not
taller than an ordinary child ten years
OF age; but she has inherited many Of
the qualities and much of the ability,
as we'll as the strong will, of her mother
and her attempts at ruling her daugh-
ter with the severity with which she
was ruled has created breach between
them, which has been widened by inter.

Silently covered his face
And when the arrows OF sunset

REVERSIBLE SNAKES.
They Rsvo . Head on Each End eod Arc
Found In India.

y
Found In India.
A snake not often heard of, at least in
America, Is the liver-colored snake with
two heads, or perhaps they should be
called mouths, though it does not have
two mouths at the same time. They
are reversible mouths, occupying the op-
posite end every six months. 1t lies with
the two ends crossed on each other, as
with folded hands. Every six months,
according to the Hartford Times, the
change Of the seasons reverses the func-
tions of the two ends, the head becom-
ing the tail and the tail becoming the
head. The mouth at one end heals, or
closes up all but small opening, while
the opposite end becomes the mouth for
the next six months.
A friend Of mine, says the writer, in
India who told me about this remarka-
BILE snake said he refused for a long
time to believe that the functions of the
two ends were reversed every six
months, but one day he found one of
these snakes in the jungle and carried
it home, where he had a physician ex-
anime it. The result was, the physi-
clan confirmed the stories of the crea-
ture and my friend was skeptical no
longer. learned no other name for
this singular reptile than that of 'the
Nver-colored snake"

Not an Ideal Mother-ih-Law.

The king Of Roumania is romantic
looking youth enough to ensnare any
young English princess fancy. Princess
Marie is scarcely to be congratulated,
however, upon her prospective mother
in-law, the imrulsive Queen Elizabeth
Of Roumania, whose intensely sensitive
temperament may very possibly prove
troublesome. 1t Is said that even In her
youth the stormy disposition of Gar
men Sylvia" won her the sobriquet Of
"The Whirlwind" Whirlwinds, of
course. have their uses, like everything
else In the scheme Of the universe, but
from the domestic standpoint they are
apt to prove too violent to be pleasant.

A POINTED REBUkE.
The Rustic Hits Sack OF the Hum0rous1y.
Inclined Chief

The Rustic Hits Back OF the Humorooa1y.
Inclined Chief
Functionaries in public offices in
great cities, who do not always have
work enough to keep tn m out of mis-
chief, sometimes conspire to play joke
upon some person from the country
who comes In ON business; and it is
cheerful to learn that occasionally they
get more than they bargain for, as the
common saying Is, from these Same
simple minded country people. Dur
ing the recent excitement over dyna-
mite explosions in Paris, when anar-
chists were causing disasters under the
very noses Of the police and many were
escaping detection, policeman one
day found upon the street a pocsetbook
containing thirty thousand francs
He took it to the central police office
and gave it to his chief, who examined
and made note Of it's contents.
A few minutes later rich farmer
from Normandy arrived at the Office.
and declared that he had lost q pocket
book containing thirty thousand francs-
He described the contents Of the pocket
book with 80 much detail that the
superintendent Of the Office was salts
fed that the pocketbook already in the
Office belonged to the farmer. This
was indeed the case.
The superintendent, noting the coun-
trified air Of the applicant, resolved to
amuse himself ut his expense. Calling
clerk, who had overheard the conver-
sation. he said to him, impressively:
II give you Just five minutes to go
out upon the streets and find this mans
pocketboolA If you do not come back
with it In that time shall discharge
YOU"
The clerk saw through the Joke, and
pretended to be terrified. He pleaded
for mercy with clasped hands, and put
on such an air of dismay that the
farmer interceded for him and begged
the chief not TO require An impossibility
of the man.
But the chief was inexorable. He
sent the clerk out whining and trem-
ling.
At the end of three minutes the clerk
rushed in, apparently out Of breath,
and threw down the pocketbook, which
he had simply picked up in the next
| room.
For a moment the farmer was stupe-
| fed. Then he put the pocketbook In
| his pocket. and remarked, as he went
out:
"Well, welli II you fellows could
find dynamiters half as easily as you
can pocketbooks, It would be great
benefit to the publicr'-Youth's Com

Sam Kelly is the most enthusiastic
man over the canning factory that
has yet struck GAINESVILLE. He was
standing at the stove in the Clarks-
vile National Bank this morning
talking about the enterprise with
a lot of other gentlemen, and he
evidently let his fervor get away
with his better judgment. He
pulled out his handkerchief to wipe
off some perspiration and after using
it deliberately threw it into the
stove. He rallied from the shock in
time to save it in a badly damaged
condition. This was not all. He
had check in his hand for over q
hundred dollars, which he was wait.
ing to have cashed. He twisted this
during the conversation until it was
torn into shreds. Happily the gen.
tleman who had given him the check
was present and promptly wrote him
a duplicate. II any man wants te
know all about the canning business
