Chicago. H.. Oct. 3.-Ex-County Com

Ever since 1879 Mr. Wren hal been n

priation of county funds, of making I'M
ScrupulOUS appointments To office and Of

would use the buildings for livery stables
and without exception the wealthy resi-

GRAVEYARD DIRT FAILED HIM.
Tale of a Queer Superstition Current
Among Georgia Negroes.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
some of the Georgia negroes have n
queer superstition as to graveyard dirt.
An instance of this is found in the case
of a negro who was wanted for some
OffcnSc over in Brooks county. and who
had been lodging about Naldosta for
some time. Sheriff Connolly and Marshal
Wade went to NaldoSta and secured
track hounds. and then went to IIahira.
where they took a buggy for point
four or five miles west of that place.
The negro was picking cotton in q field
when he learned that officers were after
him. He dropped his cotton bag and
took to his heels. Passing through 4
little country churchyard. he filled his
shoes pretty full of graveyard dirt. to
keep the dogs from getting his track.
This was not as effective a. he supposed
it would be, for IN half an hours time
after he left the dogs had his track and
were following il at lightning speed. The
negro was tracked for twelve miles, and
was caught in the river swamp
The officers returned with him that
night. They say that the negro put up
the best race they have ever seen. and
though the dogs overlook him several
times. he managed to- whip them back
ana keep up his race for liberty.

RAISING KIDS.
The Chief Source of Revenue Among
French Mountaineers.

The raising Of Kids for the skins is a
leading industry among the French
mountaneers, who obtain no small part
of their subsistence from this source.
SoftncSs. dclicacy of texture and free
dom from Flemish are principal factors in
the value of kid skins. and to secure these
essentials great pains are taken.
SO soon as the Young animal begins to
eat grass, the value of the skin declines.

ONE WASHDAY A MONTH.
That's What Swedes Are Used to, and
Our Mondays AppaII Them.


Wash day has terrorS for the Swedish
servant girl And no wonder. for in
the land of the midnight sun wash day
! is almost IS important as moving day
! is in this country. II never comes but
! once a month there. SO the newly -arriy-
ed servant. remembering how much
work it is to wash clothes in Sweden, is
| dismayed when she is told that every
! Monday is wash day. 1t even is assert
ed that rnmors of this reach Sweden
and keep girls from coming To this coun-
! try. They cannot grasp the idea that
| stationary tubs washing machines and
| WringprS work miracles on wash day,
| says the New York Press.
| Ii is n difficult ana intricate under
| taking to have your washing done in
| Sweden. That is why well-to-do people
| have wash day once a month and poor
| people rub out their clothes once n fort
night. Not that they wear soilcd gar
ments. though. for they change three or
! four times a week and store the dirty
! clothes in great chests. which are built
| into the attic fer that purpose. At the
! end of each month The wash is brought
| down and sorted out according to quail
| ity and condition. Then the real strUg
! gle begins. Five or six women. profeS
sional washers, come in and begin to
scOur and rub. Each piece is put
| through this process in three separate
| waters. Then they pour boiling water
on tn" white garments thirteen times in
| succession, and finally let them lie over
| night in a weak I've made by pouring
1 water through bag containing soap
! ana wood ashes.
| The next morning the tubs are placed
! OF a slcdgc and drawn by Il horse to the
| public waShh0uSc. There the women
! take garment after garment and beat it
| with Il paddle holding it with one hand
! in Il trough. through which flows a
! stream of water. The wash is then
| put back into the tubs and hauled home

open air i'll Sweden. Housewives are
too tidy to run the risk of an extra

When the clothes have dried they are
