DRUNKEN BRAWL.
Man Injured But Police Make No
Arrests.

There was another free fight last
night in the Crook Wright district.
It was at the house of a colored woman
between Crane and First streets on
Monroe and across the alley from the
house where Wright and the blood
stains figured.
Maud Edwards, the notorious woman
who figured in the Crook Wright
affair, was there with several other wo-
men and half a dozen men. Beer flow
ed freely. The wind up was drunken
row in which a lamp was thrown and
the head of one of the men was severe
ly cut. His friends carried him away
and endeaVOTed to hush up the affair.
Sergeant Belts investigated the case
and as no one complained no arrests
were made

The Origin of Confetti

Confetti" was invented by accident.
A big printing house in Paris used to
turn out millions Of nlmanacs yearly.
each with n small hole punched In the
corner to receive a metallic oyelet. An
enormous quantity of the tiny paper
circles accumulated. These were sent
to the paper makers, and would he 80
disposed Of still had not chance and
the smart proprietor turned them to
profit. According tn the Family Doe
tor" II happens that two of the work
men were having n little dispute. Sud
denly one of them caught up n handful
of the paper circles and threw them
in the others face.
The other workmcn joined In, and In
the midst of the engagement the pro
prietor appeared. Far from getting
angry, he told one Of the men to I'LL
paper bag with the circles and take
them to his house. That night he en-
gagged seat In the gallery at the
opera, and during the dances showcred
the paper down on the heads of the
people below. The Idea caught on i'm
mensely. and he invented special ma
chimes for manufacturing the confetti.
One has only to walk through Paris or
Brussels during carnival to get nm idea
of the quantity Of these little circles
used In Paris alone during the three
days carnival of the Boeuf Gras there
were 300 tons of the confetti used.

The Cruel MnntIs

II Ii as Observant and quick as n
monkey, AS sly and stealthy as n cat;
II IL the tiger not the saint of the in
seet world. It's so-called devotional
attitude Is simply nothing but lying
In wait for what the gods may send
In the shape of food. Establishing II.
self, as If In rapture, upon some twig
or leaf, 1t will remain thus absolutely
stationary, prepared to seize any I'M
wary insect that may fall within con
venlent reach. After II exhibits n
wonderful degree of patience, let us
say an insect happens 10 allght within
short distance OF It, Instantly II
catches sight Of the newcomer and
begins, with slow, silent tread, to steal
toward It. So impcrceptlble the mo
ton, 1t can only be appreciated by
steady and prolonged watching. At
the same time the fOrelegs, which up
TIL now had been bent back upon
themselves, commence to open Little
by little the hunter creeps near it's I'M
conscious prey, It's google eye staring
upon this object Of absorbing interest.
At last II Is close enough to strike, and
with celebrity Of movement the eve
cannot follow a formidable foreleg is
shot ont to its full length and brings
back the victim, hopelcssIy secured
and crushed between the shank and
thigh, and scarcely more than NOM
ent IL lost ere the body IL torn to pieces
and deyOured.

CUTS OFF THEIR HEADS.
This Is How the Sultan OF Morocco
Treats Tax Dodgers,

hTedbs lax DousefS.
The Sultan of Morocco Is going to
prevent his subjects from evading the
payment of their taxes, even If by do
ing 1t he has to behead every tax
dodger In the country.
In his majesty's domain tax lodging
Dy the rich Is well nigh universal, and
Wel-lnlormed students and travellers,
showing how corrupt and rapacious
the Sultan's government Is, do not
doubt that much of 1t Is justitiable.
but the Sultan looks at the matter in
different light He declares that
there Is no excuse for tax lodging,
that II is criminal, and, moreover,
that he has hit upon u punishment to
ut the crime.
