The couple had kept company a num-
Der Of years and when seen together
both seemed as If life lived only for
them. Annie is the eldest OF four chit

proud hope OF the family. Things were
gotten ready for weeks ahead
Every day and everywhere in the
MCCARTHY household the topic OF con-
verHation was "Annies wedding"
But suddenly there came frost. q
biting frost II was one that brought
remorse to two hearts that hitherto were
one. The day before he wedding, Il ls

suaded Annie to tell what the matter
was. Annie. with tears In her eyes
said that she had been deceived by
Murphy.
She then stated that all was at an
end netween them. That afternoon
Annie wrote letter to her betrothed
telling him that she would not marry
him. She did not give any further ex-
/ planation.
The gossips had another side to the
story. which was that Murphy did not
know of his fiancee's Intentions unit
he called with the cab the morning ol
the Wedding.
Some say that the reason the mar
riage was broken of was that Murphy
had two children and the couple had {
quarrel over the management of these

Taking Its Own Portrait.

1t seems like something of an achieve.
ment to make u wild deer take its own
portrait, but such a feat was lately ac-
complished by Mr.. Charles Hughes, of
Red Bluff, Cal.
He conceived the idea Of causing a
wild animal to take a fiashlight photo
graph as 1t passed along Il trail in the
Coast Range of mountains, secure I'M
der cover of night.
TO accomplish this purpose Mr..
Hughes set up the Gamers a short dis
lance from a trail owe which deer were
known to run, and then connected the
shutter and the f1ashlight materials
with a trap. When the deer stepped
upon the trap the camera was opened
and the fiashlight set Off at the same
instant. Mr.. Hughes thus secured the
negative in the dead of night, and when
there was not n soul within sight or
hearing of the animal.
On developing the negative Mr..
Hughes found the photograph of n deer.
The frightened appearance of tho ami
NAL as he was startled by the sudden
flash of light is clearly shown in the
picture.

peans are much more familiar with
them than Americans are. The horse
less carriage is In very common Use in
Europe, although 1t is cumbersome and
unwieldy. The general opinion is that
since American genius has taken up the
matter the horseless carriage will be-
come a great success.
The horseless carriage has more ad-
vantages than appears at first sight.
OF course there must be a place to keep
1t. The horse, the feed, the clearing up,
the constant breakage of harness and
the perpetual annoyance of feeling that
ones animals are not half cared for,
will give place to the ease and comfort
with which the horseless carriage ean
be kept. 1t will not be difficult to learn
to manage these carriages, and when
repair shops become frequent, the prob
lem of getting about will be so simpli.
fed that everybody will wonder why
we never had such a convenient vehicle
before.
An expert in mechanics is the author
ity for the assertion that the horseless
carriage will run a much more success
full and rapid career, everything consid-
cred than the bicycle.-New York

The Alask Dog.

The Alaskan dog is almost human in
intelligence. He weighs about 100
pounds. Heavily laden, he will travel
as many as sixty miles a day.
With twenty dogs in a team no two of
them are in a straight line from the
driver. When unhitched for the night
they pile upon the first blanket that is
thrown upon the snow, and there they
stay. When you crawl into your sleep
Ing bag and pull a robe over it the dog
will get under the robe. Unless you are
careful he will be inside of the bag in
the morning. Their endurance is phe-
nomenal and they are capable of strong
affection. They are great fighters.
A traveller who recently returned
from Alaska says of the treatment ac-
corded these faithful animals:
THE whip that Is used on them Is
the cruelest thing of its kind that is
known to man. Thirty feet In length
and two inches thick near the short
handle, 1t has a lash ten feet long that
cuts like a knife. The Russian knout
isn't In 1t. When a dog is struck you
hear a sharp yelp, and then your sleigh
whirls past a bit Of fur or possibly a
piece of bloody skin lying on the snow"

Spots on the Sun.

"The sun has great activity in Spots"
says Bayne's 'Pith of Astronomy
these being sometimes $4,000 miles in
diameter. These spots are enormous
vents for the tempests of flame that
sweep out of and down into the sun.
An up-and-dOwn rush has a velocity of
about twenty miles a second, and n side
rush a velocity of one hundred and
twenty miles a second. These tempests
rage for days and months at n time,
and as they cease the sides of the spots
fly together at the rate of 10000 miles
an hour. They strike together and
the rising spray of fire leaps thousands
of miles into space. 1t falls again and
rolls yer the Himalayas Of fire as the
sea yer the pebbles on its beach. If
strips as large as this earth We're placed
In such a tempest they would be mere
corks as tossed by an ocean Storm

ENGLISH IN CHICAGO.
Discussion on Grammar Between q News
paper and q Citizen,

OiscusstOn on q News
paper q Citizen.
The Chicago Inter Ocean becomes
both sarcastic and indignant when any
one questions the purity of its diction.
So when a reader named Campbell yen
tured to oriticise expressions used by its
society editor the captious one found
that he had caught a Tartar. This is tl>e
way The Inter Ocean puts it:
Inclosed with the following letter,
received a few days ago, were two clip
pings from the society columns of The
Inter Ocean:
Here are three barbarisms that caught my
eye lin this mornings issue of your paper
There is nc such word as "~gowned''-it Is
NEARLY a Cockney vulgarism that had its
origin In London, England-"Swellest" is OF
the same sort-and same origin-No American
having any regard for purity Of language can
use such slang-As all these words appear in
20 called "society items" l take it your Society
editor is a male or female dude and needs a
lesson In language-The harm done by the use
Of such words in your paper is very great as
thousands of children read 1t and absorb its
words-Do stop this Cockney vulgarity-
JAMES CAMPBELL.
There is no doubt you mean we'll,
Jim, but q term in a night school would
be beneficial eve to you before you be-
gin to give lessons in English. To begin
with. you would be taught there that
our grandfather, Lindley Murray, al
ways told us to use periods. You ought
to have known Lindley, Jim. He was
a distinguished g~ramInarian, you
know, or perhaps you don't know.
And then, Jim, there was Tennyson.
He said Of a heroine in one of his poems
that she was "gowned in pure white"
So you see Lord Tennyson found the
word "gOwned" to be useful long be-
fore you learned to walk steady OH your
hind feet or to eat with your front
hoofs. Webster says "gowned" means
dressed in q gown; clad"
You say that these barbarians "caught
your eye," and you fail to mention
which eye they caught. How is the
other eye?
You are right when you say that our
society editor is either a male or a fe-
male. Do you belong to one of these
sexes? We suspect not. When you write
again, spell merely as it should be.
The way you spelled it is like spelling
your name 'camel'' instead of Camp
BELL" Sec that hump?
We don't like to offend your sensitive
ear, or the other one either, Jim. Buy
Webster's Dictionary and a fourth read
Ell. Start right, and your sensitive ear
may outgrow its affection.

The Horseless Carriage.

Next to the bicycle, the horseless car
rage will, for short rides, be the me-
chanical conveyance Of the greatest
blessing to humanity, and the interest
of the public In this vehicle will be so
great that inventors and manufacturers
will ledouble their energies to make
q conveyance that will fill this demand.
The horseless carriage which is to be
the conveyance of the future must be
sold at a more reduced price than the
horselcss carriage of to-day costs.
When this time comes the advantages
of such a mode of conveyance will be so
many that the problem of traversing
short distances will be satisfactorily
solved. Inasmuch MS one of the great
est manufacturing firms of the highest
grade of bicycles the world over has
recently reduced the price of It's wheels
very materially, we look with ncour
agement to this firm to be the II to
produce the best horseless carriage and
the lowest one In price, considering the
material used and the skilled workman
ship employed.
When the horseless carriage comes
down in price 1t will become a lecessi-
ty. At present a horse must be kept
for bad weather by people who are I'M
able, through weakness or poor health,
to go about.
There are upward of 1000 horseless
carriages In use In Paris for public SER
vice, and private citizens can muster
more than this number. Indeed, Euro

In the summer of 1910 Henry Clay
went to Kentucky on his vacation.
Three nights after his arrival at a GER

the game were Mr.. Clay, Josiah Black

Friday night and ran along with vary
ing luck. They were all old hands and
had the nerve to back their cards. At
10 O'Clock Saturday night Blackburn
quit a little ahead. He had been mar
ried only two months and was afraid
his young wife would think he was
dead. Sunday morning at 0 o'clock
some II raped on the door. 1t was
opened, and a negro girl stood in the
hall. She had a clean shirt in her hand,
and ON the bosom was a note from Har-
din's wife, "For Mr.. John Hardin,
wherever he can be found" The door
was closed and play resumed. Hardin
