This was done very thoroughly, and,
when 1t was finished, Gonzalez shouted:
"Give him twenty-five more for

When Mage recovered, which was
only after careful nursing, Us his back
was badly cut up, he made formal
complaint to the British government
The result was that Guatemala was or
dered TO punish Gonzalez, and to pay
Mage Eve hundred dollars tone hun

had received. In default Of this Eng-

Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,

) Curious Oak Tree in Georgia.

A resident OF Augusta, Ca, has an
oak tree growing upon his place which
is not unlike other trees of that species
in general appearance. Instead Of pro-
ducing the regulation acorn, however,
it is annually loaded with peculiar
formations as unlike the natural pro-
duction of such trees as one could
imagine. AS a general rule the cup Of
an is as large or larger than q
thimblc, covering at least. half of the
acorn proper, but in this case the tiny
receptacle is not larger thar a pea, and
instead of being constructed 80 as to
held a single nut or kernel, contains
from three to five small ones, the num-
Der seeming to vary with the distance
from the ground. the cups on the lower
limbs being uniformly filled with three
of the tiny acorns. Botanists of national
repute have pondered over this sylvan
oddity, and old settlers, noted hunters
and woodmen in general have visited
the wonder and left without ever at
tempting to name the variety of oak to
which it belongs.-&. Louis Republic.

Guests Are. Moving Out Of the Leading
Hotcls-The Residence Portion of
h City Going-The Loss
So Far is Over
Million.

st. Louis. Mo-, Feb. pa special
from Hot Springs, Ark, says that an
uncomfortable fire has been raging in
that city since 4 O'Clock this morning.
At 6 o'clock four blocks of buildings
had beer consumed.
Among the buildings destroyed are a
number of boarding houses and it Is
feared there has been a large humble
of persons burned to death.
AT . O'Clock it was known that at
least eight persons a lost their lives
in the flames and it is believed this
number will be increased.
The fire started in the business por-
ton of the city and as the streets are
very narrow AMI nearly all the buildings
are constructed of wood, The flames
spread rapidly and were 500 beyond
the control OF the fire department. The
latter is not well organized n its
equipment Is not sufficient to cope with
an extensive c~onflagration. The alarm
"a sounded throughout the entire city
and in many of the big hotels the
guests became panic stricken ans
rushed from the buildings in their night
clothing. They were persuaded, how
ever, to return to their rooms II don
their ordinary clothing. Everybody
began to pack up their jewelry and val
uables and awaited the approach OF the
flames.
AT 10 o'clock the fire was still raging
and the occupants of the Arlington no
tel Were beginning to vacate the prem
Uses. The hotel property is valued at
$3.50 1000. 1T had about 200 guests and a
force of 100 employees. The other large
hotels in danger Of destruction are the
Eastman. valued at $1,000, 900, and the
Park hotel. valued at $780, 600. AT 1880
o'clock the occupants of the latter were
becoming alarmed and as the firemen
seemed totally unable to combat the
flames, 1t was decided that the guests
should seek other quarters. The East
man is constructed of brick and Is II
of the largest hostelries in the west.
AT 10 o'clock nearly every business
house in the little city Of 10000 people
had been destroyed, together with a
number of residences, boarding houses,
bath houses, livery stables n offices.
No estimate of the financial loss al
be made at present, but 1t is believed
that Ii will exceed 81, 000, 900, and of this
amount scarcely n quarter is covered
by insurance. On account of the panic
and excitement the names of the per-
sons who persisted in the flames have
not been learned, but a search is being
made for their bodies and their names
will be announced as soon as identified.

Yes, you can make your own pigs
very easily, children, and they will be

body can object to your taking them
right into the parlor with you.

will cost ABOUT three cents and you can
get it at any grocery store. You must
ask the man who sells it to You t. per.
nit you to select one from his basket.
Take one with a long stem or peak at

When you get home cut a small notch
down in the stem, as shown by the
dotted lines in the sketch above. This
will be the pigs mouth and should be

PIGGY H FINISHED.

The inside measurement of the box
should be 3 inches by 3 by 4 inches,
though some pigs like large pens, and
a great deal depends upon how often
you let your pig out. When You have
made your pen take three pins and cut
the heads off in such u way as to leave
n point, with an old pair of shears or a
file, and then bend them carefully into
a long, slender "" for staples. Now
cut u piece from the cigar box cover
quite as long as the pen is wide and
about an inch wide itself, the grain OF
the wood running with the length.
This is for the gate. Make a notch
in the center Of one end for the latch.
Now for hanging the gate, which is the
incest part Of the whole job, and must
be done very carefully. The first
thing to do is to hammer down the
heads Of two pins so they will pass
through the staples. When they are
just right drive one into the lower edge
of the gate, close to the opposite end
from the latch. If you don't put it
very near the edge the gate will "bind"
