New York. June 2S.--According to
the statement OF Mr.. ]. W. Cowp-
land, p. D. Armour has conceived
a new trust. in which Texas is
vitality interested. Mr.. Cowpland
says Armour has already secured
control of the fruit trade of the Pa
cific coast and that he now intends
to secure a monopoly on the South
ern trade, and especially Texas,
which is attracting much attention
Just now because of its shipments
Of early vegetables and fruit. The
scheme is gigantic one but as
transportation companies controll-
ing refrigerator cars are said to
be with Armour, 1t is not impos-
sible. Armour is said to have al
ready laid his plans, which include
not only Texas but Florida, Geor-
gia, South Carolina, North Caro-
lima, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware,
Tennessee, Arkansas and Missis-
slppi.

cut 10 per cent in 1899 with a promise that
the old rate would be restored. Some OF
the packers say they are willing to restore
The old rate but the increase of % cents

old-timers predict a repetition Of the strike

SAVED BY A GOOSE.

This goose made it's first appearance
near Quebec over fifty years ago, Wher
some British troops had been sent ou
to put down a rebellion of the colonists
suspected of being a resort for the in
surgents, was surrounded by sentries
placed at some distance apart; and one
day the sentry whose post was near the
gate of the farm heard singular noise
A fine, plump goose soon appeared on
run, making directly for the spot where
the soldier stood; and close behind in
pursuit came hungry fox.
The sentrys first impulse was to shoot
the thievish animal and rescue the
goose; but since the noise of the re-
port would have brought out the guard
on a false alarm, he would be obliged to
deny himself this satisfaction.
The fox was gaining in his intended
prey, when the goose, in frantic at
tempt to reach the sentry-box, ran his
head and neck between the soldier
legs just as the pursuer was on the
point of Selling it. Fortunately. the
guard could use his bayonet without
making a disturbance, and he did this
to such good advantage that the pur-
suit was soon ended.
The rescued goose, evidently animated
by the liveliest gratitude, rubbed it's
head against it's deliverer's legs, and
performed various other joyful and kit
ten-like antics. Then, deliberately TAX
ing up it's residence at the garrison post,
it walked up and down with the sentry
while he was on duty, and thus acorn
panied each successive sentry who ap-
peared to patrol that beat
About two months later the goose
actually saved the life of it's particular
friend in very remarkable way. The
soldier was again on duty at the same
place; and on a moonlight night, when
the moon was frequently obscured by
passing clouds, the enemy had formed
plan to surprise and kill him. His
feathered devotee was beside him, as
usual, while he paced his lonely beat,
challenging at every sound, and then
standing at ease" before it's sentr- box
The goose always stood at ease, too,
and it made a very comical picture.

about to spring on the unsuspecting
man.
Then it was that the watchful goose
covered itself with glory by dising un-
expectedly from the ground and flop

be assassins. They rushed blindly for

shooting one of the party and bayonet

to worry and confuse the remainder

DISCOVERY OF A TREASURE
SHIP.

With the consent of the Turkish gov
eminent, some Greek divers began in
vestigations a short time ago at the bot
tom of the sea near Chios, where. in
1910, at the battle of Chesnie, the Turk
ish fleet was totally destroyed, and the
Russian flagship sunk. The divers
have been most successful, and will
profit largely, notwithstanding that the
Turkish government claims a consider
able share. The Russian ship has been
found, thirty fathoms deep, full of
gold and silver coins. According to the
Revue dOrient, nearly 100000 france
has already been obtained, and still
larger sum is believed to be in the hold.
A Turkish ship is lying at anchor near
the spot, and every sack brought up is
at once counted and it's contents booked
nv the officers From five to ten thous-
and gold pieces are got out every day.
The coins however, are not the only
valuables found, among the booty being
gold and silver crosses, jewelry, arms,
etc. and the cover of large book,
made of solid gold and studded with
nrecious stones.-Vienna correspondent

THE KAFFVR GREETING.

London Mail: "Saku bona" With these
words the Outlander makes a start in the
acquisition of a Kaf1ir vocabulary. He
nears them so frequently that he cannot
help but notice them. The expression
is the common form of salutation among
the natives. 1t may be Anglicized in
ever so many forms. according to the
taste of the "Anglicizer,'' as, for exam
pie: Good morning" How d'you do?"
What cheer?" ana SO on.
These renderings".o of course, are not lit
eral. The literal rendering, Il see you,"
was capable of nice shades OF meaning
in the native mind before it became SO
familiarized to white ears. No doubt
the same may yet be said where the
white man does not intrude. In this
way If the greeting be not Immediately
given. the delay indicates the respect in
which the object of the greeting is held.
should a European enter a chiefs kraal
and await the acknowledgment of his
presence, he need not fear and trenlble
If deep and prolonged silence ensue, dila-
tofllless in that respect being an invalu-
able indication of the esteem in which
the visitor is held. The reason for the
silence is that the host is SO stupefied. as
1t We're, by the Stupendous majesty of his
guest that he cannot embrace in a glance
the greatness of him who stands before
l!fli III person., the breadth, nelSht ana
depth OF such a noble presence are not
to be colnprehended in a moment: time
is required for the beholder to become
accustomed to the unusual and %nnagnifi-
cent spectacle. and when at length the
full extent of the dignity of his guest has
clearly impressed itself on the mind, his
sable highness breaks the silence, being
able to utter With all truth the words
'Saku bona
On the other hand. in estimating the
space occupied by the lowly subject-the
average Kattir-the man of Importance
does not require much time to grasp in
every detail THE insignificant proportions
presented to his gaze. No effort Of i'm

time the tiny speck before him is visible
IN every dimenson; even a glance is
scarcely required, and attention barely
1t is 'Saku bona on the spot,
