SHE cor THE THIRD WARNING.
house. The doctor lifted Tommy out
of his buggy and entered the old melon
patch. He remained in it ten minutes
or more.
Had anybody passed that way he
would have heard a gurgle like hat
made by water dropping into a brook.
1t was the doctor. His broad chest
rose and fell, his head shook con-
vulsively, his eyes were cast upward
very much to Tommy's alarm. Then
he wiped his eyes (Tommy said after
ward, "The doctor c'ied"), and, placing
Tommy carefully outside the dilapi-
dated fence, drove rapidly away.
He returned later in the day, and,
summoning the neighbors who had
seen the last warnings, closeted him
self with them in a room. There he
displayed to their Wondering eyes fac
SMILES of the picture they saw on the
melons. The pictures the doctor ex-
hibited were made on putty, curved
to resemble the surface of a good
sized watermelon.
Now" said the doctor in his brisk
est tone, al want you all to come to the
'dying-room' with me-"
The whish of skirts that Miss Jones
said she was sure was the wings of
the angels who would carry her to
heaven proved to be the retinue that
attended the doctor, fully resolved to
carry out his somewhat vague instruc-
tons.
The pale face of the spinster flushed
slightly as the room filled with her
friends.
miss JONES'" began the doctor in a
hearty voice, give brought these ladies
here for a purpose 1 am sure they will
like. 1 am going to order them to make
as much chicken soup, waf1es, gravy
and mashed potatoes as they can pre-
pare in an hours time. They are your
guests-my guests also. I'll help foot
the bill if it's permitted-in short,
nothing would give me more pleasure.
When they have everything prepared,
I want you to get up and set them a
good example by eating just as much
as you can. You need it. 1t won't hurt
you a bit. I'd advise you to give your
shroud to the poor board-you won't
have any more use for 1t than l have
for a fifth wheel to my buggy"

WISER THAN THE PROFESSOR.
Old Colored Woman Who Knows Some
thing About Fossils.

OAAo-
thing About Fossils.
A scientific gentleman of Washing
ton, who is greatly interested in fos-
sill remains, recently received a very
fine specimen, %purporting to be of the
Devonian or some other old period.
He was delighted, and he called in all
his friends to decide on what manner
of thing the animal was during it's
lifetime. They were not able to de-
eide, and they were on the point of
appealing to some of the government
biologists. The great trouble was that
absence of that member combined to
make a mystery of the missing link
variety. Meanwhile the skeleton was
kept carefully guarded in a cabinet es-
pecially made for it. One day, after
a short absence from the city, the sci
enlist opened the cabinet and found
that the fossil had been provided with
a head. He was delighted. When he
made inquiries his son told him that
the friend who had sent him the trunk
had found the head and forwarded it
to him while he was away. The pro-
fessor called in his friends, and they
decided that the head fitted perfectly
and that it belonged to the fossil
When thus equipped it looked for al
the world like one of the dogs one
would imagine the cave men to have
kept as their pets. The professor fell
that he ought to write a treatise on
the CANNES of the paleozoic ages. An
old colored woman who takes care oil
the Office came in one day and saw
the fossil, with it's recent addition. She
went up to it and deliberately knocked
the head off with her buster. Fob d.
Lawd's sake, puffessah!" she exclaim'
ed, "what yo' doin' wild a OF CHECKER
carcass on yo' skellington?" On min
ute investigation the professor found
that the old woman was correct; bu
he does not speak to his son now.-

Miss Jones craned her head-she was
there were nearly a score OF familiar
faces. She sat up and gazed at the
doctor. The doctor laid down a parcel
where she could see 1t. Opening it, he
lifted out three fat pieces of stone,
saying:
81 have brought you these stones to
show you where your three warnings
came from. / found them in the old
melon patch where they have been ly-
ing ever since Jabez Strong smashed
his wagon and broke the headstone
designed for his third wife into smith
Greens. He tossed them over the fence.
There are enough left, / should judge,
to make a dozen more warnings. Pro-
vided the melon lying on them is big
enough to gather weight"
The doctor never finished his re-
marks.
OF all the women present no two can
be found who will agree as to the pre-
else words Miss Jones used. She lifted
one stone, smiled, sat up, demanded
her clothes Immediately, got up, Sc
lected two of her visitors to assist her,
drove the others out Of the room amid
peals of laughter, and speedily repaired
to her kitchen.
All the women agree upon one thing
that she got up one of the best din.
ners they ever ate, and n and all
aver that she violated all rules by the
way she ate when she had served her
visitors.

then she had another warning, but I
waited to see what she would say
sure enough she had. So l went over
with her. Then she showed me the
melon. I declare, doctor, | almost
tainted then. / had to sit down. And
1 had to help her into bed and send for
the neiglbors. That's all I can tell
you"
The worst Of it was it was all true.
Deacon Pritchard had called repeat
eddy and prayed for her; old friends
focked to the house and filled it from
the porch to the sickroom-or,I rather,
the dying-room, as 1t was now called.
The leading druggist pooh-poohed
the story. He had a theory. He i'm
agined he could see somebody expert
menting with chemicals. But if the
experimenter was wise he'd "sing low.
But he ought to write a letter confess
ing how the trick was done-ft was
nothing but a chemical trick of some
sort.
Meanwhile Miss Saline Jones was
surely but certainly failing. She could
not live a week, in the doctors opin-
ion, If she fell away at the rate he had
reckoned. However, he would adhere
to his original plan. He would give
her enough to insure sleep for four or
five hours. Meanwhile he would cover
haul his log" He had served before
the mast when in his teens. The sailor
lingo still found utterance when he
was puzzled.
His thoughts turned toward the
melon patch. AS far as he could learn
nobody had visited the melon patch, a
circumstance that did not surprise a
man who argued that not one nan or
woman in ten could see two inches be-
yond their noses.
On his way out to his buggy he
asked for Tommy. Tommy had been
taken in by a friendly neighbor. The
doctor sat upright in his buggy when
Tommy made his appearance.
He was very much alarmed wher
the doctor asked him to take a little
ride with him-as far as the end Of
the lane.
Can you show me near where yor
got the melons for your aunt, Tom
my?" the doctor asked in a kindly
voice. Tommy thought he could.
"Ill drive around the old back lot,
said the doctor,

CITY A THE PROFIT.
How Ownership of Street Railways
Operates in Glasgow.


Operates in Glasgow.
From the beginning Glasgow owned
it's own street railway lines. 1t was
too careful of it's streets to allow any
company to control them. Though the
conditions under which a company
leased the lines for 21 years were high
ly favorable to the city, at the expir-
alton of the lease it was decided not
to renew it. An offer was made to take
over the company's rolling stock, sta
bles, etc., on an arbitrator's valuation,
on condition that the company should
not put on a rival line of buses. AS
this was declined the council started
car shops and equipped the line with
new material entirely. On the day OF
the transfer the competing Omnibuses
appeared, but the citizens had long ex-
perienced the advantages of loyal sup
port of their own government. All
the Establishments of the omnibus con-
ductors were unavailing; the omni.
buses ran empty, while the street cars
were crowded, and soon the chagrineG
rivals withdrew from the uneven con
test. Scotch shrewdness has been JUS
titled of her children. For short dis
tances a system of 1-cent fares has
been introduced; the cars have beer
made more elegant and comfortable
electric traction is being installed. II
one year the number of passengers wa
doubled; and after paying interest OF
the capital and providing an ~adequat
reserve fund, a surplus of 5000, 900 /

ABOUT LYNCHING.

The Arkansas Democrat, in speak
ing of the late lynching in Little
River county has this to say, which
is food for thought that our legisla.
ture which is now in session might
feed upon: when the truth is
nowu it will probably be found
that the story of the Iva hing OF
seven negroes in Little Riser county
is very much exaggerated In this
connection il will not be iuappro-
pirate to state that Indiana law
makers have enacted a statute
against lynching that the New
Orleans Picayune thinks students
of government will watch carefully.
The law is drastic, for after first
defining a mob aud declaring that
any violence done by mob produc-
ing death is lynching, it provides
that any one who is guilty of aiding
or abetting lynching shall suffer
the death penalty of d life sentence
in the peniteutiary. Even
persons who are present, although
not actively assisting in the unlaw-
full work, may be imprisoned for a
period of ten to twenty years. As
officer who suffers a prisoner to be
taken from him and lynched is sub
ject to impeachment and removal
from office, and the fact that the
prisoner was taken from him is pri-
ma-facie evidence of neglect Of
duty on his part. Sheriffs are au
thorized to call on the governor
when lynching is threatened, and
the executive may send militia tC
the scene at the states expense.
