An old colored Woman. who was born
In Georgetown ami had never been ten
miles from home in her 20 years OF
life, started on a journey to see her
niece, who lives about 30 miles from
Washington on the Virginia Midland.
The conductors personally know every
body who travels on the road, and chill
dren and old people are always confid-
ed to their care. This was the case
with the old colored woman, and the
conductor was requested to see that
she did not leave the car at the first
station reached. as she was very likely
to do unless watched. He sat her down
in the end seat of the car, hedged her
about with her parcels and told her
not to bulge until he called her. The
second stop1 made was at little sta
ton called Vienna. and just as the
conductor was about to sound the start
ing bell he saw the old woman tuE-
bling off the car.
Where are you going? Get back on
that carr he shouted. Didn't 1 tell
you not to get out till l called you?"
please, mister. you done called me"
"No. didn't. Get back quick"
"'Deed you did call me. sah," PEI
sisted auntie as she scrambled aboard.
You done call my name twice"
Called your name? What is your
name?" asked the conductor.
My name. please, sab, is Vienna,
sah."-Chicago Inter Ocean

Every explorer who visits the Aus
tralasian islands discovers a new kind
of cassowary. None of these birds
possesses any wings to speak of, and
their bodies are clothed with dense
masses of curious, hairlike feathers
According to n recent traveller, these
feathers are put to very remarkable
use.
When cassowary feels hungry-so
the legend runs-it wades out into a
stream until only its head and neck are
above water and spreads out its long
plumes on either side. Numbers of un-
sophisticated little fishes Immediately
mistake these for new kind of water
weed and nestle contidingly up to the
motiOnless cassowary for shelter.
Then that artful bird suddenly
presses his feathers close against his
body. walks ashore and shakes out his
prisoners on the bank; so that he not
only enjoys a delightful bath. but OBJ
tains an excellent meal into the bar
gain.

The Rat That Sailed.

A rat was caught alive on board a
naval vessel in trap, and the beast
was thrown from the trap into the wa
ter without being killed. A large gull
that was following in the wake of the
ship to PICK up scraps of food thrown
overheard by the steward swOoped
several times. endeavoring to pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed
IT by the neck. After a short fight the
rat succeeded in killing the bird When
the gull was dead. the rat scrambled
upon the birds body. and. hoisting one
wing as a sail and using the other as
a rudder. succeeded in steering for the
shore. Whether the rat reached shore
or not is the question, since the ship
soon got out of sight of the skipper
and its craft.

Strange French Laws

A trial has just taken place at Paris
which may serve as warning to
American tourists visiting France.
A well to do man of perfectly clean
record and good social position named
Froment Adelot has been sentenced to
two months imprisonment for wear
ing, without right, in the buttonhole Of
his coat, the tiny bow of red ribbon
usually worn by the knights of the
French Legion of Honor.
You can buy them for few cents in
any of the shops devoted to the sale of
insignia of European orders. and l
have known of not n few English and
American tourists who. seeing n num-
Der of people wearing these little bows
of red ribbon in their buttonholes, did
likewise.
This. however, entails heavy penal
ties. and it is punished by the authori-
ties as the illegal wearing of the in
sigma of the national orders.
1t must be thoroughly understood
that even supposing any American be-
longs to some patriotic or other society
here in the United States. the insignia
of which comprises bow or button OF
red ribbon worn in the buttonhole. he
cannot wear it in France without risk

DIR. Young, just in from Cum

some localities is ruined and he
believes that Ardmore will not get
so much cotton this year, due to
shortage of the crop caused by the
ravages of the worm.

Recent Tests Prove Disappointing-
what They Pay.

what They Pay.
While the matter of waterworks
is the leading question at the pres
ent time in Ardmere, we find the
situation in Oklahoma also vexed
one. Much has been said about
the price per hydrant for Ardmore
as being to high. When we take
into consideration the power guar
anteed, namely, four streams to a
height of ninety feet for two hours,
or as long thereafter as may be
necessary, from one inch nozzles,
and compare it with the showing
as made by the Oklahoma compa-
ny we find ourselves to be strictly
in it. Here is what the Oklaho-
man of yesterday says:
The mayor and members of the
city council witnessed tests of the
water pressure yesterday afternoon.
At the corner of Robinson and
Seventh stream was thrown six
teen feet in height. In south town
where the land lies lower a height
of twenty feet was reached. Both
tests were disappointing to the city
officials, but served to convince
them that the situation is a grave
one.
The city is now paying rentals
of something like $4,000 to the wa
ter company each year.
When the hose was attached Il
the plugs to make the test the
streams were black and filthy anC
did not clear for full 10 minutes
This was caused by the sediment
in the mains, which was stirred NJ
by the unusual pressure. The wa
ter certainly cannot be healthfu
and the matter demands immediate
attention"

The Travelling Court.

The idea of accommodating Grim

missioner Jennings accompanied
by a strong posse have been star

with fugitives of justice and have
succeeded in doing a good job. A
special from Muskogee says
Marshal Bennett returned to Mus
kogee today with IA prisoners.
He has been out on a general
scouting tour, and was accom-.
panied by Commissioner Jennings,
who would try prisoner as soor
as he was captured.
The marshal and commissioner
lived in tents, and practically Gov
cred the northern district of the

Twenty others were arrested anC
