Governor ReynoIds's Special Constabios
for Their NefArious Work Last Fall.
Doors CIosed to the PubIic aud Press.
Levy Court was evidently ashamed OF
the business It had on hand yesterday
afternoon for 1t met In executive session
behind closed doors. Reporters were
excluded while the commissioners went
into a deal to disbUrse tho money Of the
taxpayers to horde Of special constR.
bles
The only persons allowed In the room
by the commissioners were John II
Rodney, attorney for the Levy Court and
Clerk OF the Peace Foard. who is, by
virtue OF his Office, clerk Of the Levy
Court
Mr. Mealey introduced a resolution
drawn up by Mr. Rodney. In effect IL
provided that the special constables
appointed by Governor Reynolds last Fall
be paid for one days service, or s., upon
presentation of their commissions and
proof Of service.
Me- White immediately moved It's
adoption.
This brought Mr.. Gallagher. one OF the
two Republican members, to his feet, and
he demanded the names OF the persons
who had pstitioned for the oonstables.
At this Juncture Clerk OF the Peace
Fosrd came to the rescue. He presented
aud read personal letter from the ex
governor. In which he stated that be had
the petition but be declined to make IL
public because there was a number Of
prominent mems names signed to the
petition and making their names public
might ipjure them and their business He
Was willing to show It to the commission
ers II they happened down his way.
This led to a discussion which was
not complimentary to Governor Rey-
nolds, whose action had put the Democra
tic members wholly on the defensive

man present number Of commissions"
asked Mr Gallagher.
That Is for the court to decide, said
Mr Rodney 10 reply.
The yeas and nays were called for by
Mr Gallagher. Messrs. Scott. Mealsy

Eccentricities That Fastcn Themselves To
Men with the Firmness of Habit.

The late Senator Reagan Of Texas
used TO do his thinking with short
string ON his fingers, and this string he
wound up and twisted and united and
tied again mechanically as hc followed
tho debate. Senator Vest always chews
n quill toothpick. Carlisle used TO tear
paper into bits and drop the pieces one
by one on the floor. The latter is to-
bacco chewer and sputters when he
talks, making il uncomfortable for the
interviewer
Max Freeman, the expert stage man
ager, pulls you by the coat lapel and
then pushes You away with his thumb
in the most embarrassing manner. He
will suddenly pull you, and then, as IL
he feared you are likely to tread on him,
push you away from him quite as unex-
pectedly.
Jim Thompson, who aspires TO he the
best dressed man in town, and comes
pretty close to it, has been trying TO
raise mustache, but his habit of fin
gering one side Of it wears that section
out, and then the whole must be shaved
off and he has to begin over again.
A gentleman comes down through
Herald square every day who may be
seen glancing at his left shoulder and
flecling at it with his right hand.
There isn't anything there-not even
the nap Of his coat, which he has thus
worn away. Yet he will keep pecking
at IL about twice minute. Another
man of my acquaintance is always
glancing from one shoulder to the other.

SACRED RUNNING OXEN.
They Are the Greatest Curiositics Among
Ceyion's Domesticated Animals.

One Of the greatest curiosities among
the domesticated animals Of Ceylon is
n breed Of cattle known 60 the biologists
ns the "sncred running oxen. )" They
are the dwnrfs Of the whole OK family,
the largest specimens of the species new
er exceeding 30 inches, or 90 feet in
height One sent to the Marquis Of Can
terbury in the year 1891, and which is
still living and believed to be some
where near 10 years Of age, is only 22
inches high and weights but 1895
pounds. In Ceylon they are used for
making quick trips across the country
with express matter and other light
loads, and It is said that four Of them
can pull driver Of two wheeled cart
and 200 pound load Of miscellaneous
matter 60 TO 40 miles day. They keep
up constant swinging trot or run and
have been known to travel 100 miles in
a day and night without either feed or
water. No ono knows anything concern
ing the origin of this peculiar breed Of
miniature cattle. They have been known
on the island of Ceylon and in other
Buddhistic countries for more than a
thousand years One story told to ac-
count for their origin is to the effect
that they were originally cattle of the
ordinary height and bulk; that Bud.
dhistic priest was once imprisoned in u
stone building, one-half of which was
used for cattle stable. During the
night he managed to dislodge one of the
stones in his prison wall Tho stone in
question was exactly 21s feet square.
II was almost daylight when this
apostle of Buddha felt the air rush
through the opening no had made and
realized that he was all but free. He
knew that he would be unable to got
out Of the enemy's country on foot, so
he prayed that he might be provided
with beast of burden that would safely
carry him to the homes of the followers
of Buddha. No sooner had he done this
than one of the large oxen which had
been quietly feeding in a stall at his side
walked leisurely to the 30 inch square
opening and miraculously passed
through IL.
The priest followed and mounted the
now sacredly dwarfed beast and was
soon safe in his own country Since
that time, SO the story goes, there has
been breed Of sacred running oxen"
in Ceylon, which never grow too tall to
pass through an opening the size Of
that made in tho prison wall by Bud
dhas representative on the night when
he miraculously escaped on the back of
the first Of the famous dwarfed oxen. -

He Couldn't Explain.

sold his last paper, leaned against the
iron lamppost and shouted with all his
lung power: "Pa-i-i-per! Twelvy-clack

The boy was working overtime, either
from force of habit or because Of his
natural exuberance. II is not uncOm-
mon in Calhoun place for boy to stop
short and yell several times, merely to
relieve himself.
II happened that pedestrian was at
tracted by the shouts of the boy against
the lamppost. He smiled as he looked
at the youngster and then said, GAN
right, give me one of your papers, F"
That startled the boy. He looked
sheepishly at the man, rubbed his hand
into his pocket and said, 81 amt got
any"
Didn't 1 hear you calling 12
O'Clock paper?"
Eyes, but didn't mean II was
too much of an explanation. A professor
of psychology who had studied the laws
Of unconscious cerebration might have
told why the boy stood ON the corner
shouting papers when he had no papers
to sell, but the boy adopted less diff
cult course and ran away. Chicago
