No Checkee. No Shirtee.

From the New Orleans Times II Democrat
Most people suppose" said an ex-Califor
man. mat the vertical row of hieroglyphics
on a Chinese laundry check are merely
so many numerals. AS a matter of fact
they are nothing of the kind but constitute
a brief and spicy description of the indi
vidual who left the bundle If YOU will
take the trouble to notice it, YOU will see
that the laundryman always goes through
exactly the same program. He takes the
package, gives you swift, Commemorative
glance, and then proceeds to decorate a slim
or rice paper with from two to five India
ink chicken tracks. What he has really
written is probably something like this:
Fat foreign devil who resembles mig.
squinty eyes and wart on the left sida 81
his nose "a
gu carry around this fattering pen Dor
tra1t, lnnocentIy imaginingR that it reads
No. 4-ll-44, and when you call for your
wash you will find that the Chinaman who
receives the ticket will invariably look Won
over, making mental comparison before he
reaches for the bundle. A Mongolian friend
of mine out in Frisco put me on to the
scheme, and l took the trouble to ascertain
whether he was telling me the. truth. 1 got
a laundry slip, copied it with microscopic
fidelity and submitted it to several exDert
native translators. They all agreed that
1t ran something like this:
Ridiculous old man; very pompous: baI Id

You will observe that my hair grows
rather high on my forehead and / have a
few freckles, although nothing to justify
such an insulting description. However it
proved the point. The next ticket | got de-
clared l was AN elderly gentleman resem-

me immensely until ] persuaded a native
curio dealer to show me a statuette of the

MATRIMONIAL COMPLICATIONS.
Queer Relationships Resulting From
Some Recent Indiana Marriages..
Ernnt he ST Innis Glnln- Dnnocrnt

There are more freak matrimonial COM
plications in Indiana to the square mile
than in any other section of the country
Cupid, in his operations through Indiana
seems to have been afflicted with a most
aggravated case of blind staggers.
Justice W. w. Strader of Columbus. Inc.
has just united in marriage Russell De-
busk and Miss Ella Bevars and William
Bevars and Miss Alpha Debusk Miss De
Dusk is the dapgnter of Russell Debusk
and William Beyars is brother of De-
busk's bride, a queer relationship is the
result BeyAr's own sister is naturally bjs
mother-in-law and his father-in-law is also
his brother-in-law. Debusk daughter be-
comes his sister~in-law Mrs. Debusk is
the stepmother and sister-in-law of Mrs
Bevars. Mrs. BeVars, being her own fathers
sister is Consequently an aunt unto herself
while Debusk, baing his own daughters
brother, must necessarily be his own ia Their
In case there is issue the child might be its

Quoted that the child was never born.
But this case IA, hardly as remarkable as
one which ehas sacome to light at Dills-
boro. David Gray married his grand
daughter by former marriage. 1t would
appear that, the Grays believe in odd mar
riages for Gray s. father. married his step
daughter. whose mother was an aunt of
the present wife. Now the question of re-
lationship comes up. These two queer mat
rimonial ventures encircle themselves so
often when the pencil is applied to the prob
lem that by tracing it out 1t is very easy to
figure all parties off of the earth
Over the line, in Ohio county, a man
named Miller married a widow who had A
grown-up daughter. His father fell in love
with the stepdaughter, The father became

BECAME his mother: Recently the sons
wife had child. The child was MilIer's
fathers brother-in-law and Mixers own
uncle, for he was a brother of his step-
daughter-also had a son. who was. Of
course, Miller's brother. and incidentaliv
Miller's grandchid, for he was the son Of
Miller's daughter Thus Miller's own wife
was his mothers mother and Miller became

She "Secs Things"
m the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
An odd case of hysteria is reported from
Abilene. A lady of the town has been en-
PERTAINING her niece, a young woman from
another town, and ever since the arrival of
the girl the house has been made the target
of peppers and burglars. In the evening
before the family had gone to bed there
would be a crash of glass and then the
young woman would come flying in terror
to her aunt with the story that she had
seen the face of a man at the window and
when he found he was observed he broke
the window and ran. After windows had
been broken all over the house officers were
set to watch for several nights AT last
one officer, brighter than the rest, discOV-
cred that all the glass broken from Win
dow fell outward, showing that 1t must
have been struck from the inside. A watch
was then placed over the girl and she was
soon caught i'll the act of breaking a win
dow, after which she ran screaming to her
aunt, with the same old story about man.
Her strange performance is accounted for
on the theory of hysterical condition in
which she sees things" and then docs
things unCOnSGiouSly.

From the NeW- orle4ns Times Democrat
'One evening, some years ago., said
New Orleans druggist who had been

the counted, just about where l am now.
when 1 saw a Han slip in very quietly at
the side door and stop in the rear Of that
tall case full of fancy goods. l walked over
at once and asked what l could do for him,
and it was' at faast half minute before he
replied. You don't seem very keen for
trade he Said sc 1tngth, and he spoke in a
curious, gaspins voice like man out of
breath. I've been waiting here says he,
for a quarter of an hour Now, L was
positive that he had just come in, but 1t is
always unwise to contradict a customer so
l made no remark. I want you to put me
UP some quinine capsules, he went on, and
be quick about it. for ] have an engagement
at $50 O'Clock. = looked at my watch and
told him he had twenty minutes 10 spare
1t then exactly $40. All right he
said. and | went for the quinne l handed
him the package few moments later. and
as he reached for II he upset a tall vase
the counter and broke 1t all to pieces. 1t
was the clumsiest thing | ever saw. and
had any possible motive been apparent |
would have sworn he did it on purpose
But he cursed like pirate, and after some
grumbling paid the bill. which was So and
went away. and / never him again
Next morning l read in the paper that a

o'clock the previous evening. | gave it no
special thought, but something like a month
later | received a visit from a lawyer, who
told me that he represented certain man

remember the circumstance" | did in

became clear. You see, my attention had
been called to the hour and the vase break

Unique Masonic Temple.

The sixteenth session of the Masonic

history of latter-day Masonry. Its mystic
rites and ceremonies Were performed in

mansions, i'll the building of which the
sound of hammer and troWel was never
heard. Two hundred feet below the sur
face of the earth, at the end of a half mile
Of windings through narrow tunnels into
the very heart of great limestone and
porphyry mountain, was the wonderful
temple-a cavern of large dimensions and
eXquisitely adorned by stalactites beyond
the power of man to initiate.
Two years ago some duSt-begrimed min
ers in the upper leve.S of the Copper Queen
mine, at Bisbee, AriZ., drifting their way
into the dark depths of earth. came sud
denly upon this cavern In the light OF
their tallow dips it seemed like a vision
into earths inferno. There We're the many
hued carboniZed lime drippngs of centu-
ries, within the limitless rift that was
shadowy and weird. The cave has since
been seen by people from many parts of
the world, and is said to be one of the most
beautiful subterranean caverns yet discov-
cred. For the MasonS the winding passages

DECI4ON ADVERSE.
VIII Not Enlarge the
Dewey Reception Committee.

commissioners VIII Not Enlarge the
Dewey Reception Committee.
The District Commissioners were recently
requested by MB. w. S. Knox, president of
the Business Mems Association and Mr.. L..
NJ. Saunders, member of that organiza-
ton, to enlarge the committee of one hun
dred appointed by the Commissioners to ar
range thsa RECEPTION to Admiral Dewey.
After considering the matter today in board
session the Commissioners reached the con-
clusion that it would not be advisable to
enlarge the committee selected by them.
Therefore they addressed through their
secretary the following communication to
Mr.. Knox this afternoon, advising him of
the conclusion reached by them
The Commissioners have carefully con-
sldered and direct me to make the follow
ing response to the request Of yourself and
Mr.. l.. NJ. Saunders for an enlargement of
the committee named by the Commission
ers on the LIST instant for the proper con-
duct and management of the proposed re-
cepton to Admiral George Dewey.
The Commissioners have given much
thought to this matter and express their
regret that your request was not brought
to their attention prior to the selection of
the committee
I'm designating the committee the Com
missioners sought to give recognition to all
OF the various organizations and sections OF
the District. and purposely Included the
names of representative members OF your
association
"All the members of the committee named
by the Commissioners were formally mott
fed of their selection prior to the call of
yourself and Mr.. Saunders.
I'm view of the fact that the number so
named already exceeds 1G0. and that such
committee in order to render effective SER
vice should not he too large. the Commits
sioners do not consider themselves justi-
fled in adding to the committee as named.
W. nth ar n m
ers would have been glad to appoint upon
the committee. but they were unable to do
so for the reason named above. They hope,
however, that in the arrangement Of the
details recognition may be made Of many
citizens whose names do not appear on the
present List ~
