The Cheeky Drummer Catches Two Di-
vines n Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing, commercial
traveller in the south once propounded
question TO a couple of clergymen,
whom he encountered on a railroad
train, which illustrates how easily
man nay be tripped on simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into a conversation with the minis
ters and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed, until at last the talk was
of DIR. Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking of the Holy Land, said
the graceless commercial man, II was
quite interested to read in New York
paper recently that a party of explorers
in Palestine had discovered huge heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found in a cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their preservation.
"Indeedl' replied one of the clergy
men, much interested. II had not
heard of it. 1t is certainly surpris-
ing discovery.
eyes," continued the drummer,
land, oddly enough, while nearly half
Of the bones were bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"
Remarkable, calculated the cler-
gyman who had already spoken, while
the other looked at the drummer sus-
piciously.
What is your theory?" he contin-
ued. do you think it possible that
the bleached bones could be of males
and the black of females?"
Possibly" replied the more COM
municative clergyman, Il am not an
anatomist, however, and can't say what
effects long exposure has ON the bone
of the sexes"
"And you," persisted the drummer
to the other. "What is your opinion?
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa? That is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers.
Really" replied the other, 81 don't
know; but, possibly, as you first put it,
the white bones may be of the male
children, and the black of the female" F"
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. Just as it WAS about moving off
the drummer, who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
the hand of one card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me if 1 suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had you done so in the past, you
would have known that boy babies only
were ordered slain by Herod. New

rha Real David Crocl.ett.

Mrs. Ibbie Gordon Of Clarksville,
Tex, vino was born in 1905, was once
introduced to David Crockett. Describ-
ing the incident, she says; 1T was in
the winter of 1884, not long after
Crockett had been defeated for congress
in Tennessee. We heard that Crockett
had crossed Red river, and fearing that
he might not come through Clarksville,
but keep on the old Tramu'ell trail, we
intended to meet him. Jane Latimer,
then girl of is, rode behind me, aud
Betsy Latimer followed on pony. We
overlook Crockett and his party at the
house Of Edward Deem, about four miles
from Clarksville. 1t was early in the
morning, and when Mrs. Deem saw us
she said, Mrs. Clark what in the name
of God brings you here at this time of
the day? My horse brought me,
answered, and then l told her I wanted
some breakfast. We went into the
house, and friend, who had known
Crockett in Tennessee, introduced us.
Crockett was dressed like a gentleman
and not as a backwoodsman. He did
not wear a coonskin cap. 1t has always
disgusted me to read these accounts of
Crockett that characterize him as an
ignorant backwoodsman. Neither in
dress, conversation nor bearing could
he have created the impression that he
was ignorant or uncouth. He was a
man of wide practical information and
was dignitied and entertaining. His
language was about as good as any we
hear nowadays. "-Galveston News.

How nInnY Indeefl.

The prevailing hard times" and the
large number of men and women out Of
work induced New England farmer to
write to a free employment Office and Of
fer to care for at least one of the unem-
ployed. He says;

healthy young woman for general work
on my farm. To one who can cook,
make butter, husk corn, milk cows, wash
and iron, mend, scrub and who isn't
above doing little outdoors work will

Great asis the army Of the eunemployed,

She Gets a Gold Modal.

Mrs. Alice M. Hart, who founded the
Donegal industrial fund and who had
charge of the industrial and technical
exhibit in the Irish villageat the Worlds
fair, has received gold medals for the
home industries shown-spinning, weav-
ing, lacemaking, Kell's art linens, en-
broideries, etc. A certificate from the
linen judges says that "in dyeing of heavy
linens she surpassed everything that had
been previously done in that line" The
exhibit has been in Philadelphia for
some weeks and attracts much atten-
ton. 1t is chiefly through the efforts Of
Mrs. Hart that the Irish peasantry have
been instructed in these various home
Industries and enabled to put their work
upon the market, which has afforded

Sirnnle Diet.

A woman who writes for newspapers
said the other day in the course of dis
cussion on modern cookery: ~ have a
family of three growing boys as well as
a hungry husband to cater for, and my
experience has been that can do it
most effectually on the simplest diet l
do not mean by that unpalatable food
or that which is poorly prepared. l
mean good deal of steaks and chops,
with we'll prepared vegetables. l have
no time myself to see after the affairs
Of the kitchen, aud I cannot afford to
hire what is called fancy cook, but
have come to the conclusion that my
family thrives best on what is thus
given them, substantial but not rich
nor varied dishes. AT any rate, they
are always well and strong and happy,
and what more can l ask than that?''-.

Artlflcial Purlflcation Of 1yater.

A notable example is furnished by the
city of Berlin, in the interests of public
health, in its treatment of water by ar
tificial publication, the present system
being, as stated, the result of extensive
experiments for 15 years past. 1t seems
that the attempt was first made to es-
tablish plan of natural filtration by
digging deep wells near the river and
lakes from which water was obtained,
and allowing the water to drain through
the soil from the source of supply to the
wells, from which it was then pumped
to the city reservoirs, but this plan was
abandoned on the fact being demon
strated that the water thus supplied re-
mained impure. Artificial filtration
was consequently substituted, the water
being filtered through sand, a large
number of filter basins meeting this re-
quirement. They are covered by roofs
of stone, earth and sod, in order to pre-
vent atmospheric contamination and the
formation of ice in cold weather as
well as to facilitate the frequent re-
movals of those impurities which gath
er upon the surface of the sand. The
careful denominations of the water con-
stantly made by official experts show
that, while there is small reduction in
the quantity of organic matter in the
filtered water, the important fact also
appears that there is a retention of solid
impurities and of a large percentage of
bacteria. New York Tribune.

IsZHES.

Forehead fringes die hard. The fact
Is that they covered multitude of sins
in the outline of the forehead, and when
prettily trimmed and shaped gave even
to plain faces beauty of their own.
Now that SO many women affect the
straight parting it is plainly seen that it
greatly increases or detracts from the
beauty of most faces. When the face is
narrow, the hair is becoming parted in
the middle and waved all the way to the
back. The fashion of wearing little curls
in front of the ear or of curling the hair
down over the ears is becoming to faces
with small features. When the face is
dark, it gives strong oriental appear
ance. As for the extreme of the fashion,
which covers the entire ear with t4le
waves of hair, little may be said in its
favor, save as a preventive of taking
cold.-Chicago News.

An Armed Feud Over the City Records
1T Enid, o. T.
ENID, O. T., March 11.-At meeting
of the council last night an effort was
made to capture the city records for the
purpose Of showing that all the money
collected does not appear in the records.
When q man tried to get the clerks
books, over 100 guns and revolvers flashed
into sight, and it needed but the flash
of one pistol to make the council room a
slaughter house. The records are now
being guarded by a posse of men who
are heavily armed, with instructions to
resist any attempt to get them, even to
the killing of the parties who may make
the attempt. and it is feared bloodshed
may come of il.
