Gov. Hogg's Quart Bottles.

sDo YOU know that you rarely see 9
quart bottle? | mean by that bottle
that holds quart" said B. Il. Hart, OF
Mineola, Tex. at the Lindell. A few
years ago when Jim Hogg. who is now
governor OF the state of Texas, was
prosecuting attorney of Wood county.
he filed complaint against every liquor
dealer in the county who had quart
license. He had been investigating
tho matter and sclua that the bottle
they were selling for quarts would
hold only pint and half A little
figuring showed that there was saw
ing to the dealer OF eleven gallons OF
whisky on every barrel he sold by the
quart. Scores OF cases were filed
against each dealer, but by pleading
guilty to one case against each man
and promising to sell full quarts in the
future he dismissed the other cases.
Full quarts were ordered, but when
these came they lacked gill OF hold
ing the necessary amount OF liquid.
Jim Hogg was inexorable. and showed
the whisky dealer that he was not
complying with the statute, and that
he would insist on the law being car
ried out to tho letter. Another order
was sent in for quart bottles. and as
there were mono In the market they
had to be specially made. And TO this
day these bottles are known ns Jim
Hogg's quarts. They hold . standard

The longest tunnel in the world will

the Simplon. According to the final
plans adopted it will have length Of
1876 miles, or 81 miles more than the
ST. Gothard tunnel. The northern
mouth will be situated about $3.50
yards south Of Brieg, at the little VIII
lage of I'm Rain. and the southern 600
yards beyond Ivelle, just below the
present wall-galery. About one-half
of the tunnel facing north will have
an incline Of 10 per 900 yards, just
sufficient 10 cause the water TO run

have al incline OF 65 per 1000 yards.

shops and depots are to be established
