Here's a curious story of love and
courtship. About wo years ago, says
the Athens (Ga.) Nd WIS, young gentle
man of this city, VIII ile in Savannah, got
/ into street car with heavy umbrella
| under his arm. Like great many
other careless people, he held it at a
dangerous angle, with the point stick
ing out behind him, and ere long the car
gave a lurch and a lady just behind him
emitted an ear-splitting scream. Every
body jumped and looked, and to his
horror the young man found that the
point of his umbrc lila had come in con-
tact with the nose of the young lady
seated just behind him. Of course, he
apologized, or tried, but it was like
apologizing for murder over the body
Of the victim, for the lady's nose was
bleeding and she was almost in con-
vulsions with pain.
The car was stopped at the next cor
ner, where there ha opened to be drug
store, and the young man, aided and
abetted by one or two elderly ladies',
who at once took lively interest in the
case, helped the you ng lady off and into
the store and posted off after a doctor.
One was found and the unlucl<y nose
was soon put in woT king order, and the
owner, attended by the married ladies,
was sent home in q carriage.
The young man took her address and
hunted up a mutual acquaintance, with
whom he called the next day to see how
the nose was getting along. The nose
did well, so did the young man, for by
the time the nose was out of danger he
had got in the habitof calling, so that it
became natural for him to step around
in the evening. SD in the course of
time they were married, and she is the
only lady in the United States whose
courtship began by punch in the nose
from her future husband.

WHOLESALE STEALING.
fhe isustlers are Playing a Big
Game In Southern Idaho.

Salubria Citizen.
Albert Reavis, who has been u
to the Meadows taking in tn
sights, returned yesterday anc
gives the report that wholesal
horse stealing business was car
ried on in Meadows last week
Cal White lost about 40 head, Il
b. Biggerstaff had his cattle rur
ofl,and a stranger with four-hors,
team camped this side of Meadow,
had all of his horses stolen
Albert's horse and saddle were
stolen right in Meadows, and sew
eral other parties have stock mis-
sing.
Boise Statesman
The sensation of the hour in
stock circles is the bold theft and
driving away of over 200 head of
cattle owned by prominent Ada
county cattlemen, including John
Lemp and Il. c. Catlin. For
cleverness of design and boldness
of execution the theft stands with
out a parallel in the voluminous
history of stock stealing operations
in this section.
There were several rustlers in
the gang of thieves. They quietly
gathered small punches of fat steers
at various points, and, at the ap-
pointed time, about three weeks
ago, collected them and drove
them towards the land of stock
yards.
The victims are satisfied they
know at least two of the thieves,
and several men are now attempt
ing to strike the trail of the stolen
band. One of the followers has
exported that he has gotten on the
rack of the rustlers. The fact
hat another trailer has reported he
llso has struck the trail, which
eads in an entirely different di-
'ection, shows that either the
hieves have thrown all the track
rs off the scent or that they are en-
ieavoring to drive the cattle
through in small bands, each tax
ng a different route.

A CALIFORNIAN CANAL.
1t Is to Run In the Interior Parallel 4.
the Coast,


An ambitious scheme for a canal in
the interior of California has just been
set afoot. 1t is to be run parallel to
the coast, and is to cost ten million dol
lars, which has yet to be raised, and
the protector expects to see steamers
running up as far as Brinkerville, two
hundred and twenty miles from the
coast, in the not far distant future.
The main canal" he says, will be
one hundred and seventy-five miles
long, from Suisun bay to Tulare lake.
1t will be extended to Bakersfield. and
there will be branch canals running
out to various important towns.
1t will be large enough to carry vessels
OF neavy draft, and will be Just what
It's name implies-a ship canal. A svs-
tenn OF immense locks will be necessary.
and thereby we will obtain another
great value from the canal. The sur
plus water in the locks will be distrib-
uted through the lower adjoining coun-
try for irrigation, and the elevation Mt
each lock will give great facilities for
water power. Motors operated nv
water would furnish electric lights for
all the towns on our line. From Su;snn
bay the canal will extend down the San
joaquin valley, the river being utilized
most of the way. Tulare, Isuena Vista
and Kern lakes and the Kern river will
De included in construction. The water
VIII be obtained from these lakes and
rivers, and from the natural DRAINAGE
Inc drainage is an important factor.
and we will annually save whole lakes
OF water that is now lost. The water
that flows down from one section of the
canal will be saved in the lower locks.
III Will be large volume of water, for
the canal will be at least fifty feet wide
in its general portion"

LEGEND OF THE STRAWBERRY
How the Germans Explain the Lack of Nutri-
tuu in the Fruit

Did you ever, being hungry try to salts
fly your appetite with strawberries alone,
unaccompanied by sugar, cream or any
of the usual adjuncts? Ii so, you discoV-
cred that it was impossible, for there is no
nourshment in the straw berry itself.
The Germans explain this by a pious
legend which we viii give in substance:
A little child had strayed off into the
fields. He came upon a place where ma
ture's floor enameled with bright, scarlet
berries.
He sat down on the ground and began
eating greedily.
Ihe berries were large. juicy and sweet.
The child was eating thus when the Virgin
Mary called to him.
He ate on and would not stop to make
answer. The Virgin called out TO him again
and again, but the greedy child feasted on
and answered never d word.
Then the Virgin emerged from her hiding
place and confronted him
What are you doing?' she asked.
Eating" he answered curtly.
what are you aeting?"
Nothing" he answered. to make the
stony short.
80 let it be.then, replied tha irate Vir-
gin. "Strawberries shall henceforth be as
nothing to him who seeks to satisfy the
cravings of his stomach.
That is why you may eat and eat. and
straw berries viii necer satisfy your hun
ger. Through the greed of a child the
luscious strawberry was cursed with emp
