A clergyman of Georgia was once stand
ing in the Court House when a Hoosier
came IL TO see the ordinary in order to
procure a marriage license. The country
man asked for "a pair Of licenses, and
on making the purchase necessary TO be-
ing united in the holy bonds OF matrimony
inquired Of the ordinary: who can l git
to marry me?' The ordinary replied that
he could perform the ceremony, or the
parson, standing near, would probably
accommodate him. The countryn1an
turned to the parson and asked if he
would marry him. The parson readily
consented and asked the would-be BRIDE
groom. where's your gal2" He replied,
sAOu yonder-in the street. The parson
ssId. "Fetch her IN Then she was

that no charge was made. but that he al

loHB DRINK TO A CUSTOMER.
Public House In Lsndon which II
Conducted on Original plans.

Just off busy B~lshopgate. ondLon, is a
small and somewhat 'tslummy'' street,
there stand a public house remarkable
for the fact that in it one is allowed to
have only one drink-and no smoke.
The proprietor of this quaint hosiery,
obviously . worry citizen, seeing that
he himself invented. so to speak. this
original system of doing business. has
been in the occupation of the home some
twenty odd years.
Thither go all sorts and conditions Of
men. from the silk-hatted city man TO
the railway porter. warehousepan, or
mere messenger. All have just their one
drink, and go out. Nor is it possible to
trick the proprietor by ordering say-a
bottle and calling It zone rink"
No; his one drink means a certain meas
ure of beer, wine or spirits. and that a
moderate one. On the wall OF the one
bar therein all and sundry are served
alike, hang the printed rules of the estab-
hshment in a frame.
They set forth how tina the proprietor.
deeming that he may conduct his business
as he thinks best. and having at heart the
cause of temperance. begs TO call atten-
ton, etc. Then follow in numbered order
tn e~several rules. Before a customer can
ave a second drink he must go away and
stop way for at least thirty or forty
minutes.
One result Of the strictly enforced rule
against he smoking is tina the atmos-
phere of the bar is wonderfully clear and
fresh. OF course, no person is served
should he appear to be even SO slightly
under the influence of alcohol The re-
suit is perfect order and a subdued quiet.
The hours of closing. too, differ from
those of other houses in the trade. Eleven
o'clock sharp sees the house shut up five
nights of the week. On Saturdays the
hour is Il. and on Sundays. TO-
special permit every Penecost to sell
Kosher" rum to those of the Jewish
community of the neighborhood.
OF course, over and above the regular
customers. many people are attracted TO
this inn out of pure curiosity. The sight
seeing and novelty-hunting American
finds It out in his rambles. Should he
curiosity monger, however, try to coax
the men servers behind the bar into a
breach of their stern law he is courteous
" refused. They are never aught nap
ping, try them ever so often.
The list of carefully compiled rules con-
with an invitation that u Gus
toners as do not care to conform thereto
are respectfully requested to transfer
their custom to some other estabiish-

with having MIXED the government Of
from all the way from S1,060,000 to
thrice that sum. Carriers share of the
III gotten gains, it is alleged, was about
100000.
Upon the receipt Of this report with its
findings q Court martial was q certainty.
One was ordered BY the secretary Of
war In On order published Dec. 2, 1897.
Il was ordered to convene at Savan-
nah Dan. 3, there to try the case on
the charges and specifications alleged
against Captain Carter.
Then for four months that court strug-
gied with the matter. But for the out
break Of the war its deliberations would
have attracted much more attention than
was the case. With the MaiEe gone up
in smoke and the people wild with anger,
a mere court martial Of an officer could
not appeal.
1t came out in the testimony that Cap
tain Carter was financially interested IN
a min Of rock in Florida and that he
used it in much Of his work, though the
rock was nearly as light as puIniee

! There were numerous instances during
the trial showing how straw bidders were
worked in the supposed competition for
the work. Evidence was introduced
which tended to prove that one firm Of
contractors obtained nearly all OF the
contracts for the work. It was alleged
that advertisements were so drawn up
and published that no man could bid on
the work unless he had inside informa-
ton and that everything was done to
favor one firm, to the practical exclusion
of all othega- 1t was more than intimat-
ed that influential and wealthy friends
OF the accused officer held stock In the
company which did most OF the work.
The court martial rendered its verdict,
and General Lieber, Judge advocate of
the army, sustained the findings and
recommended execution Of the sentence.
But apparently President Mckinley
was not satisfied. He had the papers
reviewed by ex-senator Edmunds and
Attorney General Griggs and asked the
advice of other men. Finally in October,
1893. the papers came into the possession
Of the president. Still Captain Carter,
convicted Of enormous frauds, remained
III the employ of the government and at
large. This is why the incident is called

must be something good in those rocks.
and they promptly annexed whatever
vacant lands were near their own under
Uncle Sans mining laws and awaited
developments.
Big strikes began to be made in the
northern part OF the county along Jim
my's creek, Georges creek and Little
Sugar orchard. Then it became rarlored
through the mountains that zinc ore was
worth $40 q ton in Joplin. That settled
it with the nativa laRdholder. He couldn't
get the ore to market for what it was
worth, but he thought that mis- land. if
it had zinc on it, wouid be vastly more
valuable, and he went to prospecting
with such primitive tools as he had at
hand.
Then practical miners came from the
Joplin field and looked over the ground.
A few went away ana said violent things
about the mar who had induced them TO
ride several scores OF miles OYER rough
roads 'just to see d few shiyes." The
rest staid and went to work. Their eS-
ample was infectious, and along the rug
ged mountain sides are heard each day
the measured beat OF pick and drill and
the boom Of blasts which uncover bodies
of ore with wonderful frequency.
The prospecting fever has extended to
Searcy and Newton counties on the
south; Baxter on the east and Boone and
Carroll on the west, and In all of them
some good finds have been reported. Not
a quarter section Of land in the FIVE eoun-
ties but has been eagerly scanned BY
prespeefogs, ard at this time very little
land remains which has not been located
as mineral claims, though not long &
there we're 10000 acres of vacant land
in Marion county alone.
Many stories of sudden wealth acquir-
ed by poor men are told. Squire Bowie,
in the edge Of Boone county, failed in
health. Heavy rains washed all the soil
from his stony fields. For two years
he had a desperate struggle fer exist
ence. He tried to SCH his farm for $500,
but could find no buyer. A few weeks
ago, as a forlorn hope, he began digging
on a hillside near his house, where he
had once picked up some bright colored
rocks. He found a ledge of the same
kind of rock. 1t was jack and zinc car
Donate. Squire Bowie sold his farm
early IN July for $4,000, a comfortable
fortune for a mountaineer. Half a days
work with a grubbing hoe and an old ak
had netted him $4.100 in cash. The
farm has since been sold for $4,000, and
the present holder will not sell at any
price.
Yellyille, named for the first governor
Of the state, Is the county seat of Marion
county and surrounded by the new zinc
fields. Nesting in a beautiful valley.
surrounded by cedar clad knobs and
ridges, it is one of the prettiest little
towns in the state, as well as one of the
oldest. 1t has never had more than 600
inhabitants, its present number. Situat-
ed as it is IN the very midst OF all the
present activity, it has lost everything
OF the tranquil air which had not been
disturbed before since the turbulent days
Of civil war. Its people now firmly be-
lieve that it will become one of the big
gest and busiest towns Of the state
When the railroads come.

The liquor was served, and as he

At that moment Fisher grabbed him by

Then Fisher slapped him twice with the
open hand, the blows sounding Trough

under the counter, and two or three
~loungers had crowded into a far corner
to be out of harms way. Longiey made
no resistance. He said opiy pieadlngiy:
Don't do that, King; don't do that.
Fisher reached under the eowed
wretch's coat, took his six shooter from
its scabbard. extracted the cartridges,
threw the Weapon on the counter and
called to the barkecper, with a laugh:

later was hanged for murders
King Fisher owned a ranch in Uvalde
county. and it was just 80 miles from his
front door to the border town of Eagle
Pass, then containing a population of
l.5Oo, not counting a small army post,
Fort Duncan, which stood a mile south
of it. Three miles west of Fishers
house the main county road forked. One
prong ran by his front door, the other
re- two miles to the rear of his home,
making a considerable detouf. They
joined again three miles farther IN. At
the fork Fisher nailed a board on a tree
bearing the legend:
Take the right hand road. The other
is King Fishers road"
For two years be actually forced every
man In Uyaide and Dimmitt counties
who travelled that route TO go two miles
out OF his way. Violation of the order
meant shooting and probably death. Nor
was there any one OF this hardy frontier
population bold enough toibell the cat.
One night IN ain Eagle Pass monte
room his luck had gone against him, and
he was Irritable. Finally he made some
remark rejecting upon the honesty of
