SHE TIED UP HIS TONGUE.
An Experiment Which Led to the
 Breaking of an EnEaEement.

An Experiment "hlch Lea 10 Nn&
 Breaking of an Engagement.
 don't know why the simple fact of being in love should deprive people of the vestige of common sense with which nature, never 0vergenerous with that rarest of blessings, has endowed them, but all my observation tends to confirm me in the opinion that it does. For ex. ample, a man 1 know is engaged to 8 Georgetown girl-that is, he was en- gagged to h'r up to a quarter to 10 o'clock Thursday night, week before last. He went ont to call on her. and but first must tell you that she belongs to Georgia family, and he is from Boston, and both of theTl are exceeding. ly proud of tLcir birthplace and ances- try After a few pre liminaries, said she to him:
 "Oh, let's hear how fast you can say. She sells seashells . ''
 So, of course, he said, "Se shells sea sells" and "She shells sheshells" and "She sells shesells. and goodness only knows what. till his tongue was so tan gled up that his mouth was full of knots. And she began to laugh, and he told her to say it herself Then they both went at it, and midway of their sibilant mouthings somebody's temper began to get frayed at the edges. She said that Boston people speak abomina- bly, anyway, and he retorted tu quoque about the Georgia dialect. From dis cussion of speech they came to a discus sion of manners. and things were said which it were painful to repent The engagement was broken, as l said, at 9:45 o'clock It has staid broken ever since. The rupture bids fair to be per manent And all this misery because well, because two ordinarily intelligent persons happened to be made temporari ly feeble minded by mutual affectiou.- Washington Post.

INTERNAL REVENUE STAMPS.
Postage Stamps Will Be Used As a
MakeShift

Washington, June 23.-The secretary
of the treasury has decided to make
temporary use of postage stamps for
internal revenue purposes under the
new war revenue act, and today the
first lot Of about q million was deliv-
cred for shipment to collectors. 1t is
estimated that about 1000, 900 postage
stamps will be required TO meet the
needs of the service until the regular
issue can be furnished in sufficient
quantities. About l 800, 900 proprietary
stamps of the regular issue already
have been sent out and hereafter large
daily shipments viii be made. The Pa
cific coast viii be supplied first, and
then points further east, until the
whole country is covered. The postage
stamps will be largely of the l and 2
cent denominations, and will be i'm
printed with the initials 4. r.
As soon as the revenue collectors re-
ceive the stamps, they, in turn, will
place them Immediately in the hands
of their deputies throughout their dis
tricts. National banks will be asked
also to assist in the distribution of the
stamps.
Today the bureau of engraving and
printing broke its record for the num-
Der of stamps turned out in one day.
This evening Director Claude NJ. John
son delivered to the treasury depart
ment II, 200, 900 revenue stamps of vari-
Gus denominations, excluding the ones
and twos of postage stamps.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
Details of the Accident at Vernal,
Which Cost Rhodes His Life.

Which Cost Rhodes His Life.
Vernal, June 20.-Some time Saturday
night shocking accident occurred that
resulted in the death of Henry Rhodes,
a resident of the west side of the val
ley.
1t seems that Rhodes, who was d
young man of about 80, ana a son-in-
law of Taylor Bird, the well known
fruit grower of the west side, was in
town on Saturday, and it was Noticed
by his friends that he was drinking,
which was unusual for him of late, al
though formerly he had been in the
habit of drinking to excess at times.
Late Saturday evening it is sup
posed he started for home, but he
never reached his destination alive.
Sunday morning, when it was
learned that he had been last seen
starting homeward, search was in
stituted.
In order to reach home it was neces-
Sary for him to cross the upper canal
on a plank, near a point where the
water dashes through a chute, down a
steep incline, and it was at once con-
Guided that owing to his condition he
had, in all probability, fallen in.
The water was shut off, and as was
feared, the body was found at the
lower end of the chute, damned under
the brush which had been placed there
TO prevent washing.
The terrific force of the water fall
ing over the chute, which is just now
doubly strong, owing to the great vol
ume of water flowing in the canal,
had driven the body in so tightly that
it took the combined efforts of several
men to extricate it.
The unfortunate man was formerly a
resident of Lehi where his parents
now reside. The burial took place to-

C0ALING STATION IN CHINA.
America Can Have It By Asking
For Tt.

Washington, June 23.-In reply to a
suggestion from an English source al
Hongking that the United States
should acquire coaling station on
the Chinese mainland, with or without
the consent of China, it is said here in
nigh official circles that the United
States at any time since the outbreak
OF the Chinese-Japanese war might
have acquired such a right from the
Chinese government upon making the
request. Moreover, it is intimated that
during Secretary Gresham's admins
tration of the state department, the
Chinese government, without a re-
quest of this kind, let it be known to
our government that it would not OBJ
Ject to its requirement of a coaling
station. No effort was made, however,
to act upon this intimation, the Off
Gals scarcely realizing the extent to
which the seizure of Chinese coast ter
ritory was to be carried within a few
years, and not desiring to initiate the
partition of China.
