AFREsH DISCOVERY OF GIRAFFEs
The British Central africa Ga
sette for May "a, which has just
reached US, says from time to
time It has been rumored that
giraffes existed in British Central
Africa, on the Loangwa River, but
although that river valley has been
frequently visited during the last
ten years by Europeans, no authen
tic information on the point has
ever been obtained. Last month,
however, a giraffe was shot on the
east bank OF the Loangwa IN the
Marimba district by a European
prospector, and it's skin (incom-
pletel sent in to Captain Chiches-
ter in MpeZenIs country. The
hinder half oil the skin IS being sent
TO the British Museum. and it is
hoped that a complete specimen
may be now obtained The exist
ence Of giraffe in Marimba is re-
markable: the area in which they
are found is extremely restricted,
and their number appears to be
very few. The one shot, however,
was IN a herd Of about thirty-hve.
The nearest country north OF
Marimba in which giraffe are
known TO exist IS north Of MaTeres
where the Elton-Cotterin ExDedl-
ton met with them (many years
ago). To the south, Matabele-
land IS the nearest giraffe country"

Give CoyIe a Square Deal.

Ex-senator John j. Coyle's audacity
in demanding to be appointed bank
examiner of the state, in face of the
fact that he is charged with grave
crimes by the bribery investigation
committee of the legislature, has
occasioned considerable discussion.
Mr.. Coyle has been staunch friend
and admirer of Matt Quay for some
time past, and in demanding an office,
even while charged with felony, he is
merely following the precedent estab-
lished by his tutor.
Quay was a candidate for United
States senator at the time he was under
indictment for conspiracy to rob the
state, and Coyle would not be a true
Quayite If he did not believe that to
the accused belongs a vindcation in
the shape of fat office.
That is the Quay doctrine, and the
ex-state senator should not be singled out
as target for the press any more than
the other Quayites who try to put into
practice the same dogma.

Respect the Deserving Poor.

1t is reported that the poor directors
are considering the plan of publishing
the names and amounts of all persons
who receive outdoor relief in the
district.
This is question which is worthy of
deep consideration and decision should
not be arrived at hastily.
1t is possible that the generosity of
the district may have been and perhaps
is still being imposed upon by persons
who really need no help but If such has
been and is yet going on, there are
surely many other ways Of ascertalning
these facts
The publishing and Furnishing OF
frauds is the duty of the directors, but
to publish all the names, the deserving
poor along with the imposters, If there
are any of the latter, is not just.
1T is no crime to be poor, nor to be in
a position where il is necessary to ac-
cept public relief, but where is the

A FEW BRIGHT SAYINGS.

Loneliness Is the greatest foe a wo-
man has to fight.
Every field of labor seems more fer
tile than our own.
The hardest thing in the world is to
endeavor to be brilliant to order.
The fragrance of fresh flowers is the
nearest thing in nature to a caress.
The very thing that we wish to see
most in the newspapers is the item we
are apt to overlook.
The person most suspicious regarding
another's actions is generally the one
most in need of watching.
The longest day is generally the one
when you get ready in the morning for
something that doesn't occur until
night.
1t isn't always the girl who wears the
biggest bunch Of roses and violets to
The game who knows the most about
football.
There may be some people so i'm
oued with anglomania that they can
see something beautiful in a fog, but
their name is not legion.
The fragrance of a flower or a long
forgotten strain Of music has the power
70 paint a mental picture for us that
we thought had faded into oblivion.
