But His Prospective Hostess Got Back ut
Him just the Same.
Washington society has been de-
scribed in so many differeHt ways that
people in general have no definitely
correct idea OF it; but that there are
many bright people there is abundantly
proved in little book called "The
Show in Washington, " in which the fol-
lowing story is given;
Mavroyeni Bey, tn young Turkish
minister, aspires to be soeisty leader.
A young hostess was issuing verbal in
vitations to her friends for an informal
five-o'clock tea.
The minister, overhearfng her, smil-
ingly begged that he might be included
in the list, and at the same time called
out to his secretary, who entered the
room: Monsieur Effendi, mademoiselle
has asked me to tea with her at five
o'clock tomorrow. Remember the en-
gagement for mo-
The following day the party met
early in the afternoon at the white
house, and, upon seeing his hostess-to-
be, he crossed the room, saying;
SIS it not this afternoon at five that /
am to h.ve the pleasure Of taking tea
with you?"

CRICKET FIGHTING.
One of tho Favorite sports of Chinese
Gamblers.

One of the Fsyorite Sports of Chinese
Gamblers.
The Chinese are inveterate gamblers,
and never lose an opportunity to bet,
no matter how trivial the cause may
be. One of their great institutions is
cricket fighting, the criclssts being
caught, fed and trained carefully as
blooded horse.
There is fixed diet for hsem, part Of
the food consisting of honey and boiled
chestnuts. If they get sick they are fed
with mosquitoes. Prior to fighting
their weight is ascertained and duly re-
corded, there being fixed regulation
as to their size and weight.
On the door Of the house in which the
fight is to take place the record of each
cricket is pasted up, and the owner Of
the winner gets ten per cent. Of all the
bets.
The cricket pit is low tub placed on
table, and, after weighing, the COM
batants are put in it and tiekled with
straws until they rush at each other
with loud chirrups and fight until one
Of them is killed.

FRENCH LOSSES IN WAR.
six Million Men Said TO Bave Perlshed in

EAA ~ "a 7AANA w AAAANo -
the Wars Of the Last Century.
DR.. Ilagencau OF the French academy
Of medicine has been making an esti
mate of the deaths by the wars of
France for the past century. He finds,
according to the New York Sun, that
the civil wars OF the end OF the eight
eenth century and OF the republic up
to and including the year 1900 cost the
lives OF more than 9, ,12O, 900 Fronchmen,
From the year 1901 TO Waterloo, when
France was fighting Europe in arms,
more than 3,150,0O0 Frenehmen were
engaged and nearly 100000 persisted.
Under the restoration, Louis PHILIPPE,
and the second republic, when there
were campaigns in Spain, Greece,
and Algiers, the army included less
than sl5, 900 men, and the loss in battle
was only twenty-five per thousand.
Even in the brilliant African campaigns
the mean annual loss was less than 150
men.
Next came an era OF frequent and
bloody wars, the war in the Crimea,
the war in Italy, ihe war in China, the
war in Mexico, and finally the war with
Prussia, Out of rather less than St0,-
900 French soldiers sent to the Crimea
o5,615 perished. OF the 100000 that
took part in the italian war nearly
10000 perished. Nearly 1000 perishsd
in the expedition to China. The med
ical statistics of the French in the war
of 1870 have not been published, nor
have those of the Mexican undertaking.
The effective strength OF the French in
1sTO-71 was /, ,400,0 600 men. The number
lost is not positively known, but it is
believed that the wars of the second
empire cost 100000 lives DR.. Lage-
neau estimates that the small wars of
the third republic have been fought at
comparatively small cost of human life.
He estimates the total loss for the CEN
tury to have been e,0Os,0ee Of men,
mostly young.

MR. EDITOR: EVERYBODY is Busy down
tn side, about half the folks are busy ut
their work and the other half o us are busy
following our usual avucation.
We arc out visiting now and have lots Of
good things to eaG but we do not Joy the
luXuries as we would like to for wo are all
the while thinking of the needing ones we
left at home.
The frost weeds are in full bloom and we
. expecting big crop Of frost next win
er phu we are not prepared for it, our
clothes are too thin and we can't work our
raoplt loot so as to get more clothes with
out paying Tor them as our physical capaCi-
~ won't admit uS into the ranks of a state
militia man where we could draw our
wearing apparel from The government and
he no expense to us. Little George is about
our own caliber, and we tried to get him to
Join a militia company and divide clothes
with us but he turned too pious all at once
ana would not impose any more cXpcnSe
, ion he could help. We'll we believe he is
;''ght and we hope that our next legislators
and the governor will do away With all
Snch useless institutions as the courts OF in
justice and the militia companies as they
seem to be of no more use to the peOple
.han matrimonial fruit car would be to all
Old bachelor. But these companies are not
ent rely void OF their benefits for while the
members are wearing out the grass Oh the
dill ground this same vegetation is getting
good hold in the cotton fields and a fine
crop Of hay mixed with the cotton is the re-
salt.
Every one is thinking and looking for
ward To The time when they will have bet
te: roads 30 travel on for they are sure
"oagh in this corner, and If they are not
made better soon Warren will get lot1 Of
custom and the verdict OF the jury will

a broken neck, caused by a fall into forty

highway"
We have hope for better things all

We expect to get them, 80 we w i'll look for
large vote for Bryan cast by our state as
well as all other states.
We arc very anxious to hear the proceed
inrgs Of our next legislature. AS the most OF
them are new members, we are not ac-
Huainted with any of them, but suppose
they are the right men in tho proper place
for no voter should cast his vote for these
officers without first reading the ninety
eighth and ninety.ninth pages of Webster's
selves accordingly.
Well. it is has been some some time since
we have imposed upon the columns OF your
