ManeiaIx Of Ahxasinia.

All that has been seen of Menelek
during the last year has indicated that
he is superior order of man. His be-
havior to the beleaguered and helpless
italian garrison in Makaleh some
weeks ago exhibited a conception of
chivalry almost too lofty for the COM
prehension of mere Europeans. He not
only suffered this garrison to march
out with the honors of war, but actual
" furnished it with a protecting es-
cot in its long journey to join the main
Italian force, and when some of his
tribesmen, resenting this generosity
tried to attack the released prisoners,
he had them shot down without mercy
This incident by itself might prove
nothing more than a quaint &C.
centricity of character. But Men
elek seems also born COM
,nander of men and captain of bat
ties. Within six years he has created
and organized an empire where only
chaos or tribalism existed before and
has brought together and equipped
largely with modern weapons of preci
sion, formidable army.-London Sat

Nov Facts About Mars.

Prof. E. Z. Barnard, late of the Lick
observatory. says that during the last
opposition Mars showed so many in
tricate details as seen with the great
36-inch telescope that it was impossible
to delincate the planet. Heretofore the
reddish parts of Mars have generally
been regarded as representing land.
while the dark parts, sometimes de-
scribed as blush or greenish in color,
were thought to be water. But Prof.
Barnard says that with the Lick tele.
scope the appearances noticed suggest
ed exactly the reverse; what have been
taken for seas looking really more like
mountainous lands. So we may have
a new set of theories about Mars

ono on the Doctor.

A well-known physician tells good
story on himself. He had just arrived
in town, and, not feeling well, had left
his grip at the hotel and started out
for a stroll about nine o'clock, wear
ing his travelling cap and with his coat
we'll buttoncd up. In the shadow stood
q ragged man.
"Look here, mister" said he, II
haven't had anything to eat tonight.
Can't you help a fellow?"
Strange" replied the doctor, clap
ping him on the shoulder. II haven't
had morsel, either, and do not know
where will get my supper"
The tone of his voice had such o
pathetic ring that the ragged man was
touched.
"Cheer up, old fellow" he said; "stick
to me and will see that you get good
square meal"
The physician was now touched, and
invited his new-made friend into the
best restaurant in town, where the two
sat down together and ate fine sup

Some second Hand Cussin."

Some SECOND Hand Cussin."
That makes me think of the time
when me and Sam Nettles and Elder
Newberry went to town together, and
for the first time in my life l heard
some secondhand cussin.
Sam and>the Elder went in with their
wagons heavy loaded with cotton, and
I had took a seat and went along with
the elder.
Mind you, Il was then in the dead OF
winter. The rains had fell heavy and
frequent, and the roads was sloppy and
soft enough to bog the shadow of buzz
gard. 1t was but only ten miles to
town, though at that time it took u
good team to make it through in day.
Now Sam Nettles was bad and wick
ed man, and every time his wagon and
team got stabbed and stuck in the mud,
or struck steep hill he would put in to
cussin the mules and poppin his whip
till he made the air blue and they went
out in storm.
Understand me now, don't say twas
the cussin that got the wagon through.
and I know Gs wen rs anybody that 1t
was wicked and wrong for Sam to be
goin on In that reckless way. Butsome-
how or somehow else he was so handy
and so furious with his whip and his
mouth, and kept up such roarin big
excitement till the mules jest naturally
got skeered and took the wagon and
tore out of there.
Now as to Elder Newberry, he was
one of the best and most peacefulest of
men in the round created world for
common. He wouldn't carry on very
much talk with his mules, and when he
did it was with a smooth and gentle
voice. So consequentially we didn'.
stay in sight of Sam and his wago1
more than two or three miles. For a
while we could hear him poppin his
whip and cussin and goin on with his
mules, but by-and-by he got clean OCT
Of hearin.
| Well, me and the elder, we worked
and worried along al; best we could for
three or four miles. We had it up and
down, in and out, and over and under
with them mules and that miserable
bad road. The elder he would tumble
and fiddle and fool around. tallxin to the
mules like they were so many babies
and gal babies at that, till presently
we struck the Travis lane. which wa
