A few miles from Mount Airy,
y. c., were the homes of the
famous Siamese twins, End and
Chang, who were born in Siam
of Chinese parents in 1911.
These twins travelled all over
the world in charge of their
manager, Mr.. Bunker. whose
name they finally assumed.
They came at last into Surry
county sightseeing. They de
clared that it was the grandest
country they had ever seen, and
having already made a decent
fortune, the decided to buy
property and settle permanent
ly in surry.
They met and fell In love
with Miss Adelaide Yates, of
Wilkes, an adjoining county.
Miss Yates was in an awkward
predicament, beloved by both;
but neither could tell of his
affection without the other hear
ing it. Finally the matter was
settled by Miss Sallie Yates, a
sister of Miss Adelaide, con-
senting to become the bride of
one and Miss Adelaide the
other. The parents of the
Misses Yates strenaously OBJ
jected to the donble marriage,
but the young ladies, We're not
to be deferred, so they eloped,

Of a little stream on the road
side near their home, and a
preacher being present, they
were quietly married.
The two couples settled with
in two miles of Mount Airy,
and for several years lived to-
gether. Owing to domestic
troubles, however, two homes
were found necessary, and
each built comfortable home.
They lived alternat. weeks at
each others homes, and each
raised a large family of chill
dren. some of whom still live
and are among the most pros
porous and highly respected
people in Surry county.
They were probably the most
wonderful of all human phenom-
ena. They lived to an advanc-
ed age, and We're clever, law
abiding men. 1t is said that
they would sometimes have
their little quarrels, and one

this time the usual revolution broke
out Ia Sonora aud Crabbe thought he
saw an opening for tllihusterlng ex-
pedition, Which by aiding the reyolu-
tlonists, might lead to the discovery
OF the rich silver mines OF his father
in-law. Hernandez was one Of the
leading conspiratbrs, and Crabbe COM
municated with him. 1t was agreed
that, should the revolution besuccess-
full, the Ainsa estates should be re-
stored to him.
Accordingly Crabbe organized an
"army" OF about 100 men, and after a
long and tedious march over the burn
ing desert they arrived at Sonslta, IN
Sonora. There he learned that the
president and the leaders Of the revo-
luton had COMPROMISED" )" which had
been brought about by Hernandez,
who was given a lucrative office. Her
nandez now showed his pertidy by re-
fusing to treat further with Crabbe
and prevailed upon the president to is
sue Ills famous Or infamouS proclama-
Cion, Death to the Filibusters."
Crabbe then issued his proclamation
freeing the country, and marched upon
the town of Caborca. Here they were
overpowered, and after more than half
Of the number had been killed the
others surrendered. After surrender
ing they were massacred in the plaza.
Crabbe's head was severed from his
body, and at a dinner given next day
to commemorate the victory (?l the
head was placed on a dish at the head
of the table in front of the president,
Gandara. At his right hand sat the
treacherous Hernandez.
Strangely enough, there was also
only one survivor of the Crabbe flibus-
tering party-a boy named Evans,
aged about 13 years. Owing to his
youth his life was spared, but he was
compelled to witness this Feast Of

One Of the miners accident insur-
ance companies of Germany has been
making an interesting estimate Of the
money value Of hands and fingers.
According to the figures the loss of
both hands represent loss Of 100 per
cent. efficiency or, in other words, the
whole ability to earn a living. Losing
the right hand depreciates the value
of an individual as worker 10 or 80
per cent, while the losing Of the left
hand represents from go to roper cent.
of the earnings OF both hands. The
thumb is reckoned to be worth from
20 60 30 per cent. Of the earnings; the
first flrger on the right hand is valued
at from 10 to 1g per cent; that of the
left hand at from 8 to 1875 per cent.
The middle finger is worth from 10 to
16 per cent. The third finger is valued
at no more than from to per cent,
while the little finger is worth from 9
to II per cent. The difference in the
percentages, it is explained, is occa.
stoned by the trades followed by tho
injured ones.

soALPE:R's TICKETS.

A citizen of Dallas, Texas, was ar
rested and tried recently for violating
the anti-scalper law and was dismissed.
Judge 7, f. Nash, of the court, ren.
dered the following decision in part:
" When person buys a ticket and
pays for it the price asked, it is his
property aud the legislature cannot
prevent him from selling or otherwise
disposing of it unless his doing 60
would be a public injury. Laws in
restraint of trade are always based
upon some public mischief, injury or
nuisance, but in this case it is nowhere
pretended that the public suffers any
Inconvenience whatever from the sec
ond hand sale of railway tickets. On
the contrary, we may presume that
the public is benefited by it, If the
railway company has gotten the price
of the ticket, can it be said that it is
injured unless by reason of the fact
that it may not sell as many tickets as
it would sell under the operation Of
this act? This, however, is only an in
cident of the transaction, and certain
ly does not justify couferring a mo
nopoly upon the railway company in
selling unused tickets. When a cloth
ler sell a suit of clothes and the pur-
chaser wears it awhile and sells the
unused part to a second hand deGl-
er who sells it to some man who might
otherwise buy a new suit from the
clothier, and to that extent the sec
ond hand man is interfering with the
business Of the clothier, but it affords
no just reason why man should be
compelled, If he dislikes his suit to
take it back to the clothier and receive
from him what it is then worth, or be
punished with the second hand man
If they sell the suit to another party"
