When it is known that the Hen drix College is established here, or at least when the school is ready to open, there will be not less than 100 families that will move and locate here to secure the educational advantages offered. At the low estimate of five to the family, this will mean an addition of 800 people to our population by this means, and every business man and property owner will surely profit thereby. From this standpoint alone, every man and woman who can should at once buy a lot and help the movement along as a good mon eyed investment-one that will surely pay and pay we'll.

He has just declared in Kentucky: This government keeps up two saloons for each house of congress in the national capital, where the members can guzzle to their hearts content.

The street railroads are propos- lng to form a trust to protect themselves against the trusts now controlling the price of material used in constructing and operat ing street car lines. Ere long the people will have to form big trust of their own to protect them selves against all the other vari ous trusts.

The hope of the trusts lies in the United States Supreme Court, of whom it has been written: Con trolled by the corporations. The various antitrust laws being enacted are likely to be declared unconstitutional.

Jimmie Was Working in the Navy and

There is a young man on board the

ing man who sells goods through the
Southern States. This lady is one OF
the incest, most motherly old souls I
meet in my rounds, but she Is at the
same time one of the most ignorant OF
everything except how to get up good
meal Of victuals and give tired drum

little tavern in a Maryland town for
forty years, suppose, and hasn't been
five miles from home since she was q

on the contrary has not been within
five miles of home for longer than six

oner he had always declared his inno-
cence Of any crime. He was confident
he would be indicated in time and that
the Supreme Court would grant him a
rehearing. He frequently spoke about
his case and all his thoughts seemed to
be upon it. The warden and his deputies
all pronounce Luetgert to have been a
well-behaved prisoner. The only trouble
which they ever had with him was a
little argument he got into with repre-
sentative of a large packing house over
the meat furnished. He had to be placed
in solitary confinement as punishment
for his conduct.
Luetgert's passing away marks the
closing chapter of one of the most grew
some murder mysteries in the annals of
criminology-his debt to the law which
was fixed by jury t.life Imprisonment
has been wiped out.

Modern Damascus.

Compared with Jerusalem, Damascus
is Partisan. The Jerusalem air presses
heavily with its melancholy past, Half
score of sects make it rendezvous
for pillage or for mummery, and It's
memorials of imperishable events have
to be looked at through the dust of per-
ished dynasties It is mystic, solemn,
arcane. Damascus is practical, posi-
tive and even merry. The wall of Israel
sounds along the arid valleys Of Zion,
but Damascus sings voluptuous carol
by means Of its ice-cool, tabled river
with the gurgle Of it's waters, and
above all you hear the silvery laughter
OF the Syrian girls and catch the
dancing humor of their dark eyes
through their little wells. Jerusalem
has It's austere character to sustain. Its
temples are tombs. It's weight Of poig
nant history keeps it grave. But in
Damascus you are under no obligations
to the past that the present cannot
make you forget. Its innumerable shut
ties and armories call you back to the
bustling eXigencies Of life. The coffee
bazars defy melancholy. So this
stranded city on the shores Of time
the gold on whose mosques never cor
rodes- basks in the sun and eats figs
merrily, just as 1t did when Saul Of
Tarsus journeyed that way.-Harper's

The Impossible She.

Miss Mary Kingsley, the intrepid ex-
plorer, has recently related personal
experience in 1.-The Woman at Home"
which shows the disadvantage at which
feminine bachelor finds herself In
cannibal country. Not, we hasten to
add, because spinster is less tooth
some than a matron, but because cam
nibals do not understand the bachelor
woman.
Miss Kingsley had to answer many
embarrassing questions in West Afri-
can wilds as to why she had not hus-
band and family, and found it awk-
ward to explain her position. On one
occasion she was being rowed to An
daude by native who called himself

the boat. Presently Samuel began a
conversation in his best English.

ed he, after looking at Miss Kingsley
curiously for time.

establishment. After an interval he re-
covered himself and returned to the

me no trade man." replied Samuel,
refusing to fall into her trap for chang
ing conversation. "Why you no got one,
map
Because l haven't" retorted Miss
Kingsley.
But this intensely feminine reply
failed to satisfy Samuel, and she had
to run the gauntlet of further ques-
tons and comments until her adven-
lures in wading swamps, shooting rap
ids and penetrating forests, in which
she had hitherto felt pardonable pride,
paled to insignifcance beside the great
est of all adventures, to the cannibal
mind, that of getting married. Then,
to cap it all, it was not long before it
was generally believed in West Africa
that she was sort Of Dido, Queen Of
Carthage, in search Of a husband!

Rioting and disorder prevailed at two
