Miss Agnes Jones, of Oklahoma, Is
1.-The fittest," and that's how it happens
that she survives. She was a better
shot than Sam Bartell, though he, be-
Ing fourteen years older, must have
had more experience. She was not only
n better shot in the sense of accuracy,
but also in that Of readiness. Seeing
that the case had to be settled in that
way, Agnes fired without loss of time,
and when Sam al last fired the case had
gone against him. Agnes, it appears,
had n homestead in the Cherokee Strip
and n house on it, and she locked up
and went away, just as the Dusants
did, and Sam came along while she was
away and occupied her house. Upon
her return he orutally refused to leave
Ordinarily this would have been case
of the woman victim and the arrogant
brutal, domineering man. But Agnes
knew the law, and fired promptly. In
presence of this new kind of woman
man will be improved by having his
attention called to the wisdom Of be-
Ing fair to women as well as to other
men.

New Use For Fly Psnsr.

For some time Father Mcclure has noticed that the poor boxes placed at the church door were not yielding as much money as formerly. On one occasion one of the boxes was broken and it's contents taken, but the manner of the later rob berries was not discovered until yester- day.
 John Hogan and John Kenneally con- stituted themselves a committee to fer ret out the culprit. They kept watch of the boxes, and when they saw man named Berger lingering suspiciously near dfai of them they notified the po- lice station and officers were sent to the church. The front and rear entrances were guarded and an officer went inside to arrest Berger. The latter, when he saw the officer, ran into the priests house, where he was caught. He tried to throw away a large piece of fly pa- per, but was prevented. Tn his pocket was $1. 50 ill small change, all the pieces of money being covered with the sticky gum from the paper.
 Berger's scheme to beat the box was to insert long narrow strip of the sticky paper in the narrow slit ill the box and pull it out with several coins adhering to the gum. Chicago Tribune.

PETER AS A DEFECTIVE.
His Exciting Chase After Thieving Urchins
 In Washington.


 Senator Peffer, the Populist leader, by feat performed last week has earned reputation with the local police that ought to insure him employment at any time he is willing to resign his seat in the senate.
 With his wife the Kansas senator was occupying the back seat of public ve- hicle one day last week, and while driv- ing along one of the principal business thoroughfares of Washington his eagle eye detected two urehins in front of a secondhand bookstore whose suspicious actions caused him to direct the driver to slacken the pace of the horse. He was not mistaken. When the young roguea thought the coast was clear, they grabbed handful of paper back novels and dart ed away with them. The senator with the flowing whiskers started in pursuit. Block after block was covered, the horse going at breakneck speed and the pedestrians on the sidewalk gazing in open mouth amazement as the Populist senator, all excitement, gained upon the youngsters. The chase was hot, and the boys were breathless when they sought & shelter in an old curiosity shop. The snator, with wonderful agility for one of his age, sprang from the carriage ss it dashed up to the curbstone, entered the store, and with the surprised pro- prietor drew the boys from their hiding behind the monkeys cage. The parade then started for the police station. The senator, fanked on either side by dirty little ragamufin, headed the line, while Mrs. Peffer, in the carriage, brought up the rear, surrounded by an admiring and inquiring public.

A CLEVER BABY.
She Is 8 Great Attraction For visitors q
 Central Park, New York.

Central Park, New York
 There is a new attraction for visitors at Central park, and one that ought to prove interesting to everybody, young and old. It is baby elephant, and il as cunning and playful as anybody s ba by, but, of course, in it's own elephan- tine way. At present it is kept in one of the stalls at the elephant house, but pretty soon it will be allowed out in the yard, where visitors can become more intimately acquainted with 1t.
 The infant, which is from 3 319 to years old, stands about Az feet in height at the shoulders and is about the same measurement in length
 1T never saw an elephant with such a nice, smooth, healthy skin, said Keep CT Snyder.
 The little visitor arrived at the park in a crate and truck Soon after she arrived Mir. Burns had Snyder give her bath. If there is anything an e1e phant, big or little, enjoys it is bath. If he had place for it, MT. Burns says. he would supply the elephants, and, in fact, all the leather skinned animals, with a tank of water as big as that which the hippopotami have to wallow in.
 When the hose was turned on to the baby elephant on Tuesday, not content with the stream as it played upon her, she sucked up the spare water from the floor and spurted it upon herself from her trunk. Then Snyder fed her. He gave her loaf of bread first. She put it on the floor and crushed it with one of her fore feet, and then picked it up piece by piece and ate every crumb of it.
 Snyder had pieces of bread in his pockets, and she went through these as cleverly as pickpoeket would and got each one. Then he gave her a pail of bran mash, and she exhibited a regular baby pet when he took part of it away to give to another elephant. If the baby remains long enough at the park, MT. Burns says he will teach her some tricks New York Sun.

One of the greatest natural wonders in the United States is solid mountain of rock salt, which is situated on an island in sea marsh in southern Loui- siana. It lies near the river Teche, on the route leading from Brashear to New Liberia, and is said to be the most gi- gantic mass of exposed rock salt known to exist. The salt peak is about 1855 feet in height, and mining engineers who have recently visited it say that there is not less than 90, 900, GOO tons of the pure saline crystal in sight. --St. Louis Republic.

 Riley Grammar is himself authority for the statement that he has won more than $l25,0 since the beginning of the Saratoga meeting. He is going to slow down now, he says, and stop plunging In spite of this statement he played Henry of Navarro to win more than $40, 900 on the sweepstakes which was decided yesterday at Sheepshead Bay.
 Grammar was said to be more than S200, 900 ahead of the game no later than last summer after Henry of Ma varre beat Domino and Clifford, but bad speoulations and unproftable business investments took nearly all of it, and no later than five weeks ago his property at Lexington, where he had a gorgeous saloon and restaurant, in which he sank $40, 1000, was attached for liquor and grocery bills.
 It is said that Grammar had total capital of $50 at the Saratoga track on the opening day on July Exchange.

Fighting Over the Color of Chin whiskers

 Nearly a dozen lawyers at Winsted, Conn.,, have been fighting over the color of a set of chin whiskers. The case in- wolves the will of Norman Brooks, the miser, known all his life as Old Misery, because of his abject and squalid ap- pearance and many complaints. The heirs under a will dated year ago charge that Squire Clossey, whose wife is the favored legatee under the later will, took a man who looked something like Old Misery into lawyers office in Salisbury and had him personate Old Misery and sign his name to the will.
 Old Misery's body was dug up and his face was examined by these Sails bury lawyers and many others. The claim is that Old Misery s chin whiskers were gray, and the personator's chin whiskers were white. Clossey's lawyers went into elaborate details ofscoloring. They especially pressed the undertaken, but he swore that Old Misery whiskers were gray before and after the embalm- ing.
