bers of the posse comitatus had their

is armed with winchester repeating
shotguns. Shells loaded with buckshot
will be used in case of disturbance.
While on guard duty the members of
the sheriff's posse will be subject to
strict military discipline. The follow
ing orders have been issued:

BRETE HARTE AND A WAITRESS.

Brete Harte has been so long resi-
dent of Great Britain that the days Of
his early fame, when he was a new
writer and when from time to time he
appeared on American lecture plat
forms, seem very far away.
He still loves to tell anecdotes Of
those early days, and among his stories
is one of the time that he lectured at
the famous New England town of Con-
cord. Mass.
On the morning following his lecture
he went down into the dining-room Of
the inn, with his mind filled with
thoughts Of the men who had made the
name of Concord so widely famous
He looked dreamily from the window
fancying Hawthorne and Emerson and
Thoreau and Alcott as they once paced
along that village street. He was so
wrapped up in thoughts of the past
that he forgot the present, and did not
notice that prim young woman waiter
was standing patiently beside him.
When she saw that at length she was
observed, she ratified out, swiftly and
without a break between any of the
words: 'Mush coffee, tea, ham, eggs,
and bacon. l enjoyed your lecture last
night very much, Mr.. Harte; there was
a very select audience. Saturday

LOUISIANA STATE FLOWER.

The women of Louisiana have select
ed the magnolia as the state flower be-
cause of its beauty as well as the fact
that it belongs peculiarly to that state,
growing in her forests to great height.
The charm of the flower is well known,
but only those who have seen it in it's
native state can realize the splendor of
the tree, with its large, satiny leaves
and graceful form. The magnolia be-
gins to flower in the early spring and
continues to bloom luxuriantly until
the end of summer. The old French
mansions frequently have long avenues
of magnolias leading to them, but later
residents object to them as lawn trees
on account of their copious shedding of
leaves all through the year.

MALAY TIN.

Within the last few years English
people have discovered that the in
terror of the Malay Peninsula is full of
rich tin ore. The Chinese knew this
hundreds of years ago, and actually
made a road all the way down from
their own country, distance of over
a thousand miles Thousands settled
around the mines and worked them.
Suddenly war sprang up in the isthmus
behind them and cut off their commun-
ications. But, not at all dismayed,
these emigrants made the best Of
things where they were, and today
there is a little nation of Chinese in
the peninsular, in whose hands is most
of the commerce of the country.

JERUSALEM A FATED CITY.
PIgrimages to That Place Bring Sor-
row to Royal Couples.

Once more has the old superstition
been fulfilled according to which royal
or imperial couples who make the pill
grimage to Jerusalem are overtaken by
misfortune. The new king and queen
of Italy visited Jerusalem together just
ten days prior to the assassination of
Humbert 1t may be remembered that
the visit of Archduke and Archduchess
Charles Louis Of Austria was followed
by the sudden death of the former,
who, as second brother or Emperor
Francis Joseph, stood next in the line
of succession to the crown. Another
imperial couple whose pilgrimage to
the holy land was followed by equally
disastrous results were the crown
prince and the crown princess of Aus
trial. for the quarrel which eliminated
in Rudolph's tragic death at Mayerling
followed Immediately on their return to
Vienna from Palestine.
Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, uncle of the present German en-
press, after marrying New York girl,
Miss Mary Lee, took his wife on a
honeymoon trip to the holy land and
died suddenly after a few hours illness
on his way home, his widow subse-
quently becoming the wife Of Count
Waldersee, one of the most distin-
guished commanders today Of the Ger
man army. The visit of Emperor Will
Jams elder sister and of her husband to
Jerusalem, attended by Baron and
Baroness Kotze, had as it's natural
consequence the anonymous letter
scandal which forced Princess Char
lotte to transfer her home from Berlin
to Breslau, while Baron Kotze, besides
having to fight innumerable duels and
being crippled for life, had to undergo
long period of Imprisonment.
The kaiser's own pilgrimage was fol-
lowed by whole series OF misfortunes,
which included the empress breaking
her leg and becoming seriously i'll, the
death of her mother and the singularly
tragic suicide of Prince Alfred of Co
burg, who has been con1ded to the pa
ternal care and control of the kaiser at
Berlin by his own parents.
Several analogous cases could be
cited and it is probably due to this that
the vast majority of the imperial and
royal personages who visit the holy
land make point Of doing so alone,
leaving their husbands ortheir wives at
home. 1t is thus that the late empress
of Austria, the late Emperor Frederick
of Germany, King Leopold of Belgium,
the Empress Eugene, Prince Henry of
Prussia and a number Of others have
been able to make their pilgrimage I'd
the holy land without being overtaken
by subsequent misfortune.
