Texarkana, Ark, July 2l, 1900.
Mr.. Sullivan, who let out bids for
brick house on the corner of
Spruce and Broad streetslast week,
thought the prices excessive and
he rubbed out and asked for bids
again, leaving the finishing work
of the second story of. One of the
contractors who had put in a bid
last week, based it upon the offer
of a brick firm here Offering him
brick at Sc per thousand, but since
then he has been served with no
tice that the brick would be ~ per
thousand, and if he bids again will
have to advance the price on brick
just this much. Building material,
when there is such demand, nat
urally goes up, and those contem-
plating building can expect to pay
higher prices on this account.

What the Barber Said.

ITO shave a man at home" said
barber, 81 charge a quarter, but to
shave dead man half dollar is the
price. About tenth of my private
customers are women.
81 shave at their houses six or seven
women every day. l don't know why
it Is some women have boards. 1t Is
very distressing to them, and they
shave close and often. 1t is their only
remedy. The electric needle Is no good
for them, you see, because their boards
are so thick that it would take a life
time for the operator to go over their
faces and pluck each hair out sepa-
rately, as must be done in the electric
al depilitating system.
Boards only grow on old women.
They are one Of the feminine disfigure-
ments of age. 1t is the same trouble, |
suppose, as that which affects old men.
Old men, you know, have thick
growths of hair In their nostrils and
ears that must be cut out weekly, and
their eyebrows If not regularly trim
med would grow to two or three inch
es."-Philadelphia Record.

How Ii "worked" Two Machines.

With seeming innocence that would
have done justice to All Sin, the Hea-
then Chinee, Ii Hung Chang appeared
to display the greatest interest in the
sewing machines at an exhibition in
Edinburgh he visited when in Great
Britain several years ago.
His excellency's first question was
how long it would take for the sewing
machine at which he had sat down to
do a certain distance-seemingly con-
fusing the mechanical stitcher with
lady's safety at the next stand.
Without waiting for any reply to his
query or further ceremony LII started
sewing little seam. Nor did he do it
badly, fact which made him seem de-
lighted as child. For some time the
vlceroy continued his hemming and,
though got away at length by his at
tendants, Immediately sat down at the
next machine and insisted on working
it.
What is the priceP' asked Ii at
length.
Your excellency shall have 1t as
gift" was the reply of the exhibitors.
Then don't want 1t In that case"
observed the simple and bland Ii, "be-
cause l require two, one for myself
and the other for the empress"
And he had them.

Big Fire In Albany.

Albany, Nov. Fire started at $50
last night in the candy factory of
Kreischer & Co., and before the firemen
could get water ON the blaze the immegse
building, running through block, was
mass of flames. Next door, on Beaver
street, was the s-Knickerbocker Ex-
press, the oldest established paper in this
section Of the state. So rapidly did the
flames spread that the employees in the
building preparing to set up the election
returns for the morning paper had to run
for their lives. Not anything of value
was saved, the Associated Press opera
tor at his key having to leave without
his typewriting machine. At o'clock
both buildings on fire were Quilted, and
the loss is entire.

She Was UEOundedN

Meta was little girl who lived in a
founding asylum, place where home
less children without relatives are
cared for.
A visitor who often came to the
founding had taken a great fancy to
Meta. 1t was the birthday of Muriel,
the lady's little girl, and permission
was asked for Meta to take tea with
Muriel.
AS 1t was Muriels birthday Meta
wished to be very nice to her. At the
same time Meta felt she had an ad-
vantage over Muriel, for it was not
every one who lived in founding hos
pital.
You were born, Muriel" she asked.
Muriel nodded and smiled.
Up went Metals head little higher.
1T Is so common to be born," she said.

Fooled the Judge, but 1t Didn't Pay


Andrew Reichle, who lives in the
neighborhood of Ninth and Norris
streets, adopted remarkably diplo-
matte way of getting n dime for a
drink the other day. He went to Mag
istrate Alderman and said:
Judge, | have been on a spree, and
| want to break 1t off. Send me to the
house of correction, will you? | can't
get rum there. I'll stay till | feel like
man again, and then I'll leave and go
to work"
The magistrate, moved by the appar-
ent sincerity of the supplicant, made
out commitment paper and gave 1t to
the man, along with 10 cents for car
fare to the house of correction. After
expressing thanks profusely Reichle
departed and made haste for the near
est saloon.
Constable Scheiber followed him and
caught him In the act of swallowing a
glass of whisky. "Come with me-"
the constable said, and Reichle tossed
off the glass and returned again to the
courtroom. He was upbraided there
for his duplicity and sentenced to three
months in jail.-Philadelphia Record.

One of the latest and certainly the
most curious devices adopted by or
ange growers in Florida Is that of a
tent which is designed to cover and
protect the trees. The tent will be
waterproof, so that 1t can be used from
year to year and will admit the sun
shine on one side while it keeps out
frosty winds on the other. In each
tent Will be an oil lamp for heating.
One of the governments devices to
give warning of an approaching cold
wave is particularly ingenious. Mails
travel slowly in some of the less thick
ly populated districts, so the engineers
of express trains are required to blow
their whistles six times in every three
miles to give warning of the coming of
bad weather.-New York Tribune.

New York, Nov. 7.-Nearly $4,000 peo-
pie saw the opening of the Princeton
Columbia football game Mt Columbia
field, this city, yesterday afternoon. 1t
was perfect football day. The weather
was clear and cool and the gridiron firm
and hard. Both teams appeared in the
very finest condition. Columbia was hard
and tough, and Princeton, in spite of her
hard game with Cornell on Saturday,
was quick and ready. Columbia appear
ed to the advantage in the weight, there
being difference of nearly four pounds
per man. The start of the game saw Co
lumbia ALMOST continually in Princeton
territory, but toward the latter part of
the half Princeton seemed to show
slightly the better form. The score
stood to 3.

Al ABRUPT PrOposaI.

The reported fashion of the famous
DR.. Abernethy's courtship and mar
riage is very characteristic. 1t Is told
that while attending lady for several
weeks he observed these admirable
qualifications in her daughter which he
truly esteemed to render the married
state happy. Accordingly on a Satur-
day, taking leave of his patient, he ad-
dressed her to the following purport:
you are now so well that need not
see you after Monday next, when l
shall come and pay you a farewell yis-
it. But In the meantime l wish you
and your daughter to seriously consid-
er the proposal l am about to make. 1t
is abrupt and unceremonious, | am
aware, but the excessive occupation of
my time by my professional duties af-
fords me no leisure to accomplish what
desire by the more ordinary course of
attention and solicitation. My annual
receipts amount to e, and l can set
tie e on my wife. My character is
generally known to the public, so that
you may readily ascertain what it is. |
have seen in your daughter a tender
and affectionate child, an assiduous
and careful nurse and a gentle and
ladylike member of family. Such a
person must be all that husband
could covet, and l offer my hand and
fortune for her acceptance. On Mon
day when call l shall expect your de-
termination, for l really have not time
for the routine of courtship."
In this manner the lady was wooed
and won, and it may be added the
union was felicitous in every respect
