QUEER HUMAN BEINGR.-An
island in the gulf of California is
inhabited by queer human beings.
The Ceris, without doubt, are one
of the most interesting tribes of
aborigines to be found on the hem
isphere. They are said to have fair
skins and blue eyes and bear no re-
semblance whatever to the Indian
tribes Of the mainland or of the pc
ninsula. In former days they made
excursions to the mainland. spread
ing havoc along the coast, but in
later years they have kept closely
to their island home. They are ex-
tremely fierce and warlike and use
venomed arrows in fighting. The
island is known to be very noun
famous, innumerable rugged can
yons and gorges, where the Indians
ambush and which renders subdu-
ing them almost an impossibility.
Beyond the fact of the existence of
the Ceris tribe very little rs known.
Their habits aud language are said
to be peculiar to themselves, while
their origin is subject of conject-
ure. The Island shows no sign of
vegetation from the gulf, and their
method of gaining a subsistence is
unknown. Shippers cruising in
those waters carefully avoid this is
land peopled with blue eyed sava-
ges, and it rugged outlines, which
loom up in the gulf, are shrouded
in mystery.-Oaklaud Cal. Echoes.

DIsTRUsT WAS MUTUAL.-Many
stories are told of Daniel Webster,
but this is one of the best. On one
occasion when Webster was a SEN
ator and on his way to Washington
he was compelled to take a night
stage from Baltimore. 1t so fell
out that he was the only passenger,
and as he thought the driver had a
sort of highwavman-look about
him the senator felt i'll at ease.
However, like the small bow, he
kept up his courage by whistling
till they came to dark woods near
the duelling grounds at Bladens-
burg, when he was accosted by the
driver with "Where are you GO
ing ?" "To Washington" replied
Webster, as soon as he could recoy-
er his composure.. 81 am a sem

THREE GOATS AND A POLICE.
MAN.-When Detective John Nc
Mahon of the Harrison street po-
lice station went to serve q warrant
on a woman who lives in Sherman
street, he met with an experience
which he will not soon forget. He
was unable to find the woman, but
he managed to get into the rear
yard of a tenement house by climb
ing over high fence.
He was about to leave the yard
when he was seen by three goats.
The goats made a rush for him.
Mcmahon ran for the fence and
reached it just as the goats came
up. He climbed toward the top of
the fence, but fell back again. The
goats saw their opportunity and for
a few seconds made things lively
for the policeman. He was bucked
all over the yard amid the laughter
of score of Italians and other for
eigners.
Finally he ran toward the pas.
sageway leading toward the street.
1t was narrow, and as Mcmahon is
large he was unable to get through.
The goats kept at him, and when
he backed out of the passageway
and dashed through the open door
into the street the goats followed.
Mcmahon was slow in getting up
the stairs leading to the sidewalk
and the goats had plenty of fun
with him. After an exciting time
the officer managed to get away
from the goats and made his way
back to the police station.-Chica-

SETBACK For A PRACTICAL JoK-
ER.-While John Chamberlin loved
o harmless practical joke he would
not tolerate anything that would
wound the feelings Of strangers or
friend, and he was constantly watch
full to prevent newly made acquain-
tances from attempting to emulate
him at the expense of the comfort
and sometimes the safety Of others.
With the expectation OF receiv-
ing Chamberlin's approval and
creating reputation as q joker,
prominent politician, with more
money than refinement of senti-
ment, procured half dozen large
and lively Holsters and tied them
so they could not escape in q bed
where an equally unrefined fellow
politician was to sleep. In great
glee he confided in Chamberlin,
who Immediately sent porter to the
room, with instructions to remove
the Holsters and lock the door of
the practical joker's room, after
placing the baggage in the hall.
A clerk came ont on the piazza
snd handed the politician his bill.
What's this 2 he asked. Amt
i good for this amount? Why, /
could buy the hotel if l wanted to,
john
well, perhaps you could re-
piled Chamberlin, but you can't
buy me with it. l guess You be-
long down where they consider it
real, genuine sport to scuse bride
grooms in horse tIoughs and to tie
tin pans to dogs tails. There's

tricks, not here
The politician paid his bill and
had the decency to keep away from
Chamberlin's forever thereafter.

Doc DROWNED HIS ToRnESron.

Doc DROWNED HIS ToRMESToR.
Nelson, the dog, was q regular
member Of our party, says writer
in the London Spectator. Where
we went he went. He was special
ly fond Of following our trap. and
nothing, not even doggie friends,
could divert him from his faithful
attendance at our wheels. One
summer we were staying at the
west coast Of Saltcoats, where the
sands are broad and fat, and we
often drove along the road skirting
the bay. Nelson followed, of
course. The dogs Of the village
seldom molested or interrupted
him, but one rash little terrier re-
peatedly rushed out Of his garden
gate as we passed and bit at Nell
sons heels. Time after time Nell
SON declined to notice the insult,
but one day his patience evidently
became exhausted. Turning around
he caught the unhappy terrier by
the back of the neck, carried him
down the sands and into the water
chest deep, put his paw on him,
and drowned him, and then carried
him back to the dry sand and laid
him out there. One crunch Of his
jaws would have done the deed and
more quickly, but it seemed as if
Nelson had no personal luminosity
to the dog, or at least had suppressed
it, but had concluded that the
world was better wanting such q
snarlibg cur.

you the greatest degree of success

DEMOCRACY ON TOP.
The Majority in Arkansas
Much Larger Than in
Former Elections.
DAN JONES 10000 MAJORITY.
Remmel Files and Miller Showed
Under Which Showed Our
People Would Not Be
Trifled With.
DAN JONES 10000 MAJORITY.

The Little Rock Gazette, which
has a special service with all towns
and cities IN the state, has esti-
mates from most all the counties in
the state, and it places Dan W.
Jones vote for governor at 1000
over the republican candidate Rem
mel.
In the five counties heard from
officially, which are Conway, Brad
ley, Franklin, Green and Lonoke,
gives the following vote for the
gubernatoriaI candidates Jones,
5000; Remmel, 1929; Files, 766;
Miller, 70, Jones majority over all
is 1927. If these majorities are
maintained throughout the state it
will place Jones majority at 10000
at the least.
In the county contiguous to Mil
ler-Little River, the vote thus far
canvassed gives a democratic ma
jority of I45 with two democratic
townships to hear from.
The whisky vote in Little River,
thus far canVassed, gives whisky
II votes ahead, but it is thought
that the two townships not return
ed yet, will vote against license and
that Little River will be dry.
In Nevada county the official
count gives Jones a majority of $50
and over Remmel, 805 In the con-
test for county offices Democrats
elected the Judge, clerk, treasurer
and coroner, with a tie on assessor
Populists elected only the represen-
tative and sheriff. This county has
been Populist since 1890, with the
exception of the democratic clerk
being elected in 1894
