WHEN a poor man drops a piece of meat on the floor, no difference how clean the floor may be, he will either give It kick or pick it up and lay it on one side. But let him drop a plug of tobacco on the street; he will pick it up, give it carelcss swipe on his coat sleeve, CT the bosom of bis pants, and then take a big chew of it with a keener relish than ever. That is the kind of a vitrifed brick man is.-WasAiagtoss Tunes.

IN one of the streets in the neigh- borhood of the famons London bridge there has for some time been carried on an industry peculiar even to that city of curious and crowded occupations, namely, an eelskin leather factory. Here are pr epared and manufactured an in- teresting variety of articles from the skin of the common eel. By means of numerous complicated processes the skins in question are manipulated until they resemble, and would easily be taken for leather, although of S more glutin- ous and pliable nature, In one speciality this strange substance is cut into long, thin strips and plait- ed very closely together for whip lasbes and to cover portions of the handles of more expensive whips. Certain kinds of lashes and harness laces are also made from such skins, combining dexibility and tough ness.

an OLD COUPLE
Robbed. Peter Honor Relieved Of Five
Hundred Dollars at Stringtoun.

A dastardly outrage was per-
petrated on an estimable old
couple at Stripgtown in the in
terror Of Tyler county Monday
night. Peter Hornor and his
wife live just on the edge Of
Stringtown and keep a sort of a
boarding house. Horror owns a
farm on which oil has been found
and he is reputed to be worth
quite a lot ofmoney.
He has always had an antipa-
thy for banks and has been
known to keep large amounts OF
money about the house at differ
emit times. A few days ago he
is known to have sold his oil and
the amount was reported to be in
the neighborhood of $500, which
as his little faith in banks was
we'll known, he was supposed to
have about the house.
Three masked men knocked at
the door of his house and when
twas opened they forced their
way inside aud Immediately de-
manded to know the hiding place
Of the money. In the house at
the time were Mr.. and Mrs. Hor.
nor and an other lady. The old
people refused to divulge the
hiding place of the money and
the robbers commenced to club
them with revolvers.
After the old people had been
beaten into insensibi!ity the rob.
bers ransacked the house and IN
an old trunk they found hidden
away little over $500. Hastily
securing this amount they hur-
ried away from the scene of the
dastardly crime and left the old
people bound and gagged in
which condition they remained
until morning.
Mr.. Hornor is pretty sore
about the head, but his injuries
sustained at the hands of the
robbers are not serious. Mrs.
Horror is Frustrated from the
shock and the INJURIES she receiv-
ed, and there is very grave
doubt about her recovery. As
yet there is no clue to the rob.

1t was only made Known by the
President to those near him.
Until now the President has been
studying the situation carefully.
He has endeavored to suggest
public sentiment. He is now con

this decision does not necessarily
imply that when the commission
meets it may not be deemed ex-
pedient that the title of the Unit

the city. At the present time
the President is not willing to
say this government should hold
or claim permanently more than
has been taken temporarily. The

In a recent Cosmopolitan the editor
makes a statement in settling wo
mans chances of success which is puz-
zling. Centuries of intellectual and
nhvsical idleneSs," he says, have
placed the average woman of today at
a disadvantage, in most things requir-
ing energy or stamina, when ranged
alongside the man, whose ancestors
were accustomed to stronger life" Per-
hans he means to say that men have
one line of ancestors and women an
other line. Or possibly we are to I'M
s4erstand that man draws his supe-
rior energy and stamina from the male
side and woman her inferior energy
and stamina from the female side. In
tbie case the centuries of intellectual
and nhysical idleness' in woman would
reflect weakness only upon her female
offsnring. and not upon the men. MIND,
we cheerfully acknowledge mans sn-
neriorfty. but the writer's reasoning
leaves us sore distract We had always
sunposed that our ancestors had lett
theirs good and evil traits to us men
and women with commendable impair
tiality.
