The Strange INTERVIEWING Of the Number
With Events In His Life.
An interesting discovery has just been
made by contributor to French peri
odical, who has apparently touch Of
superstition in his character concerning
numbers. Whether or no he believes in
the mysterious and uncanny influence
of number ID is not stated, hut he points
out that the unfortunate President Car
not was throughout his life under the
influence, SO to say, of the figure T.
He was born in 1887 and entered the
Ecole Polytechnique in 1857. He be.
came president Of the republic in 1887
by virtue of the seventh article of the
constitution. On the 18th of May in the
present year he presided at the ccnte-
nary fctes at the Ecole Polytechnique.
He died in the fifty-seventh year of his
age and in the seventh year of his presi-
dency.
In the carriage in which he was seat
ed when assassinated there were, in
Gliding the driver, etc, seven persons,
the crime being committed on a Sun
day, the seventh day of the week, by
Cesario, an Italian, there being rcspec.

To conclude this list Of sevens, 1t is
pointed out that NJ. Carnot's remains
We're laid in the tomb in the seventh
month Of the year and on the seventh
day after the murder was committed.
1t might be added that Cesario came
from Cetto to commit it, ard that the
pronunciation of Cette and sept (seven)
is identical -London Standard.

HE BOUGHT A BICYCLE.
But 1t Was Not Exactly I'm the COndi-
ton He Expected.

A young Buffalonian bought bicycle.
1t was a good bicycle, and he was proud
of it. He bought it on the installment
plan, and for month he was happy with
it.
One night when he was riding on an
asphalt street he met a friend.
"Ho," said the friend, where did you
get that bike?"
Bought it." replied the wheelman,
tartly. Did you think I stole it?'
NO; 1 don't know as l did. Whatl
you take for it?''
The wheelman stopped and said: do
you want to buy wheel?"
II might If 1 got one cheap enough"
"Wen what will you give for this one?"
Forty dollars"
The wheelman got on his wheel and
rode away without saying word. A day
or two later the friend came around and
made some more inquiries about the
wheel The wheelman told him conf
dentially that he was hard up and found
difficulty IN keeping up his payments and
that he had concluded to sell out for SO.
Mike" said the friend. Il have
changed my mind, too. l can't afford to
give you more than $50 for that wheel
now"
The wheelman laughed at this offer
The friend came around every day for
week after that and asked him If he was
ready to take $25, reminding him that he
would lose the wheel altogether if he
wasn't prompt with MS payments. Hes-
terday afternoon the friend made his
usual proposition. TN give you $25 for
that wheel" he said. you'd better take
it, too. It's your last chance"
WELL" replied the wheelman, 81 guess

the loss of four men and as many horses
at this stage of the drive was a serious
matter.
The sun had almost touched the western
hills when two horsemen, each leading a
pack animal, were seen approaching.
There was no MISLEADING the gray horse of
the leader. and a shout arose that started
all the stragglers hurriedly toward the
camp.
a few minutes later the two men,
haSgard and pale. rode up 70 the wagons,
where we were standing in a group TO re-
ceive them. Jubilant as we felt over the
evident success of their quest, there was
something in their eyes that seemed to
discourage any hilarious outburst OF our
sentiments. One by one they removed the
stolen articles from the packs and held
them up TO be identified. until all had been
returned TO their rightful owners; then
they removed the saddles and let their
weary horses go free.-E. A. Hamilton in
the Overland.

The Texans had not come prepared to

kicks and curses would have been the
very mildest form of burial service which
they would have received. Still the could

Kerrville, Aug. s--Although our
normal school has closed many OF
the teachers are 10th TO leave.
They say the proximity of the noun
tains and the river has given them
many pleasures. That they have been
able to take more exercise than they
usually do in winter at their homes
In some respects the normal has been
more OF success than the normal of
last year.
The number in attendance was not
so great, but a majority Of those pres
ent came TO study methods and TO
get in close touch with the advance
ranks Of modern education.
There were, altogether. sixteen coun-
ties represented This is probably
larger territory than was represented
at any ether normal.
This proves that our Western teach
ers are trying to do their best for their
communities.
Expensive living and small salaries
do not deter our teachers from trying
to move upward.
The most done by Prof. Ban and Miss
Thomas Of Temple and by Prof. 4 j.
Pattiilo Of Houston and superintendent
j.. A. Thomas OF Kerrville was OF
such sterling worth that even those
who came hero for professional work
remained up to the day of examine
tiun.
Kerrville had eight or ten of her
young mon and young ladies in attend
ance.
She furnished two GLASSES OF flf-
teen pupils each for the work in the
primary department.
Miss Thomas did some valuable work
for the teachers with these classes.
The city also gave the normals n
a series OF lectures The last OF these
was delivered 20 a large house of teach
ers and citizens last Thursday night.
Prof. r. ]. Patillo Of Houston de-
llvered this lecture. and so great has
been the enthusiasm over 1t that he
has been asked TO repeat 1t.
KerrviIle proposes to have another
normal next year and will add still
other features to guarantee success.

Deputy Postmaster Parker of Gaines
Vile Skips Out.

Gainesville. Tex, Aug. ga report
gained currency today that set an
Gainesville agog. II was to the effect
that Deputy Postmaster Ira d. Pack
ard was short in his accounts and
had fled. Investigation proved the re :
port correct Some days ago Packard
left here, presumably to take rest
from his work,and nothing was thought
of his absence. While away he wrote
to the postmaster. acknowledging his
shortage, and stated that he would
not return.
He also said that he would contribute
his house and lot here toward making
good the amount he had squandered.
The opinion is that Mr.. Packard let
the money slip through his fingers at
gambling, though he has always been
a prominent figure In Y. NJ. c. a. cir
cles. He has q family who stand well
and he himself was highly respected.
A postofiice Inspector Is now here,
checking up the books. and the post
mister thinks the amount will prob
ably not exceed $6e0, which was ex-
tracted from the stamp fund. Packard
was under n $4,000 bond and his bonds
men are amply able TO make good the
shortage. Wien last heard from Pack
ard was I'm Oklahoma.
