Glover Politeness.

An amusing example of innate po-
likeness is reported by Golden Days,
A big, good-natured son of Erin, 60
ing home from his days work, stood
near the door of a crowded street car.
A lady elbowed her way in, resplen-
dent in her own beauty and tailor
made suit. The men who had seats
were industriously pretending to read
the daily paper, and she was beside
the big workman when she put her
hand up, for the strap. "It's sorry
ON, num-" he said, "thot l hev no
safe as l can git up and give yez, but
all the empty ones was took when
got aboord." The lady assured him
she was just as much obliged, and
then smiled at him, whereupon three
men suddenly discovered her presence
and insisted on her having a seat.

MR.. KIRKLAND RESIGNS.

Mr.. 7. 7. Kirkland's many friends
of Texarkana will be sorry to hear
that owing to the state of his
health he has resigned as Secreta-
ry of the Y. NJ. c. A. The follow
ing letter was received yesterday
by Assist. Secretary:
St. Louis, Mo-, July "a, 1900.
Mr.. Geo. B. Brown,
Assist. Sec, R R.Y.M.C.A.
TeXarkana, Ark.
My Dear Sir
1t will be no surprise to you to
learn that on account of his health
Mr.. Kirkland has rendered his res
ignation as Secretary of the Tex
arkana Railroad Y. NJ. c. A., and
that he has planned to take an un-
limited time for rest, with the hope
that he may thus be completely re-
stored to health, in which event he
will doubtless re-enter association
work in some field where climatic
conditions are more favorable than
at Texarkaua.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Hicks, /
have extended a call to Mr.. John
Coldwell, at present secretary of
the R. r. Y. M. G. A. at Topeka,
Kan, to become secretary of the
Texarkana Association, beginning
September lst. We are in hopes
that Mr.. Coldwell will see his way
clear to accept this call. He is one
of the strongest men on our list of
railroad secretaries, and has had
years of experience in all branches
of Association work, and should he
decide to come to Texarkana will
be well qualified to continue the
good work which has been begun
under direction of Mr.. Kirkland
and yourself.
Sincerely yours,
FRED B. Shipp.
International R. R. Sec'y.

Contented Idlene ess.

The peasantry of the island Of Corfu
are reputed to be the idlest of all the
inhabitants of the Ionian islands. They
cultivate no gardens, and import the
garlic and onions which form large
portion of their diet. Mr.. Gladstone,
talking about his visit to Greece,
gave his testimony to confirm the is
landers reputation. He said he had
never seen such complete and con-
tented idleness as at Corfu, where he
once came across three men leisurely
driving two turkys along the road. It
was ease without dignity.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.

A fire that consumed the Fisk
house, corner of 18th and Wood
street, occupied by Jim Christopher
as residence, occurred this morn
ing Eabout two o'clock. The fire
was under good headway before it
was discovered by the inmates, who
had barely time to make their es'
cape. A small part of the house
hold goods were saved. A small
cottage on the adjoining lot, also
owned by Mrs. Fiske, which had
just been completed aud was occu
pied by a newly married couple,
was saved only by the heroic work
of the neighbors, and particularly
Mr.. Ferd Hunter, who made his
way through the root and succeed
ed in subduing the flames which had
taken hold of the cornice on the ga
bic end OF the building. The texas
fire company was on the ground,
were powerless to act, as there was
no water within reach. 1t seems a
shame that citizens in this part of
the city are afforded no fire protec-
tion whatever, and yet are expect
ed to, and do, pay their part of the
city taxes There is an injustice in
this that should be remedied.
A house on Front street, east of
the ice factory, turned in a fire
alarm last night. The two COM
panies responded and found that an
electric fan had in some manner set
the woodwork about it on fire. The
blaze was easily subdued-the dam

The Mysteriou1 Assassin.

One night, shortly after the cele-
brated battle of Fontenoy, its hero,
Marshal De SAKE. arrived at a little
village in which was an inn with Pc
:uliar reputation. 1t was said that in
this inn there were ghosts who stabbed
Or strangled all who attempted to pass
The night in certain room.
The conqueror of Fontenoy was far
rom being susceptible to superstitious
!errors, and was ready to face an army
Of ghosts. He dismounted, ate his sup
per, and went up to the fatal room, TAX
'ng with him his arms and his body
servant.
His arrangements completed, the
Marshal went to bed. and was soon in
/ profound slumber, with his sentinel
snsconced in an arm chair by the fire.
About o'clock in the morning the
watcher by the fire, wanted to get
some sleep himself, approached hts
master to awaken him, but to his call
he received no response. Thinking the
Marshal soundly asleep he called again.
Startled at the continued silence, the
man shook him; the Marshal did not
stir.
AS he lifted his hands from the form
In the bed, the frightened servant saw
that they were red. The Marshal was
lying in a pool of blood! Drawing
down the cover the soldier saw a
strange thing. An enormous insect
was fastened to the side of De SAKE,
and was sucking at wound from
which the blood flowed freely.
The man sprang to the fireplace,
grasped the tongs, and ran back to the
bed. Selling the monster, he cast it
into the flames, where'it was instantly
consumed.
Help was called, and the Marshal
was soon out Of danger; but the great
General, who had escaped fire and steel
Tor years, had barely escaped dying Of
the bite of an insect. He had found
The ghost.

The Lizard was too Spry.

While in the country last Sunday,
The editor of The Gazette saw a black
snake try to capture lizard for its
dinner. The lizard had the better of
The snake in the contest, which took
place in cluster of saplings. The liz
ard would run up sapling clear to the
top and patiently wait until the snake
would slowly wind its way about half
way up the sapling, when the lizard
would Jump from the top of the tree to
the ground, and the snake would fiins
itself from the tree, both striking the
ground about the same time, but before
the snake could get itself Strengthened
out, the lizard, which did not have to
1ncoil, would scale up another sapling.
when the snake would repeat it's ef-
tort to procure dinner. The snake
not being the ready climber the lizard
was, was at great disadvantage in
the contest, and, after many efforts.
gave it up as fruitless Job.

A Freak In Peacocks,

About three months ago Mr. Frisch
If Thirty-seventh and Market Streets,
received from his brother, who is a
missionary in India, two eggs that were
joined together. A note accompany
ing them explained that they were pea
cock eggs, and great curiosity on ac-
count of their strange form. Now, Mr..
Frisch has a friend in West Philadel-
ehia who is a poultry farmer, and the
idea struck him to have the eggs
hatched in an incubator. In the course
Of month the shells fell apart, and in
stead Of two separate birds stepping
out, the pair came forth joined togeth-
er by thick band of what appeared to
be gristle. By dint of extreme care
and careful feeding, the strange pair
were nursed through babyhood, and
ire now beginning to get pin feathers of
farious colors.-Philadelph Record.

The Wife as First Clerk,

In French families, where the father
conducts any business, the wife be-
comes his best clerk, and usually his
cashier. The wives are exceedingly in
telligent and acute, extremely sharp at
driving bargains, and accurate in keep
Ing accounts, They are their hus-
bands partners in every sense of the
word, and 1t is wonderful to see how
they acquit themselves of such a null
hplicity of duties. Self is completely
lnnihilated; and If weak health is
mentioned, It is- never an impediment
