now in Dallas. little thought there
was gun loaded for him over at
Tulsa, in the Creek nation, but
such seems to have been the case.
Mr.. Cornelius left here for that
place and was in Tulsa on the
night of December 81. A fire oc-
CURED there at this time and the
usual Territory fire alarm (shoot-
ing of pistols was very pronounced.
Like all insurance men Mr..
Cornelius left his room to 60 to the
scene of the fire.
On the street one of the fire
alarms came across his path.
In a letter to the firm of Bruce
& Torbett. received this morning,
Mr.. Cornelius says the wound is
quite painful and will keep him
laid up for a few weeks. The
bullet passed through his right
foot and imbedded itself in the
sole Of his shoe on his left foot.
He is on his say home to Dallas
and ADDS that itcan never be known
who fired the shot that hit him.
True it was chance, and it is the
first injury from this fire alarm

these columns, and by the maj

record. Yet that bullet might

through Mr.. Cornelius heart, and
the party doing the shooting re-

warning to all, and the practice
which has been in vogue in Ard
more for eleven years, should be
put down; should be stopped at
once. The writer, on many oc-
casions, when this alarm has been
sounded, pulled himself rapidly
indoors, and awaited a cessation
of the cannonading. before again
emerging to a fire, and so have
many others.

THE USE OF PUBLIC GARDENS.
They Would Tend to Decrease the In
mates of the Reformatories

Children often become criminals be-
cause they have no outlet for doing what
they like and what is proper for them to
do. All children love to work in gar
dens: and If there were public gardens
where children could voluntarily work il
they wanted to there would be no occa-
sion to fill the reformateries to half their
present extent.
None know better than those who have
interested themselves in reformatories
what are their weak points. However
we'll treated, the inmates feel as prisoners,
and there is the difficulty of placing them
for start in the world when the refor-
matory term expires-a difficulty growing
more serious every day. Aside from this
is the enormous tax on the community in
the way of private benevolence or public
charges. None would welcome an i'm
proved method of lessening these pres
sures more than reformatory managers.
Public gardens, as suggested, would
help to some extent-but they have not
been found practicable in large cities,
from whence most of the population Of
the reformatories come. - Meehan's

SINGING SANDS OF ARABIA.
Singular Natural Phenomena that
Are the Wonder of Travellers

The singing sands of Arabia arc
stretches Of SAND, sometimes on hill
side of the INTERIOR which. when moved,
produce a distinct musical note Walk
ing through them, stirring them with
stick, or in any way agitating their par
ticles will cause the sound. which CON
tinues some SECONDS. Scientific men have
been quite at loss to account for SO
singular phenomenon and have sug-
gested many wild explanations. The
problem is complicated by several curl
Gus circumstances in connection with
ne sand. 1t has been ascertained, for
instance, that if carried away in bags
the sand loses its musical power, but re-
tains it if transported in glass vessels.
Wetting. the sand while i'll an artificial
receptacle destroys its power of produc-
ing tone, but rain has no such effect,
since as soon as the sand is dry it is as
sonorous as before. The singing sand is
found IN no less than twenty-.six places
on tie eastern coast of the United States
and III at least two on the Pacific.

Desserts for Summer Drinks.

1t IS no easy task to provide for every
evening Il dainty dessert that is orna-
mental, tempting. inexpensive, easily pre-
pared and suitable for warm weather.
The difficult task may be accomplished
however, if the cook or the housewife is
willing TO give little time. a little
thought and little goodwill each day to
the subject. The same dessert can be
transformed and varied and disguised
until it seems a new and delicious sweet
for every night in the week. With two
or three versatile desserts of this kind
the housewife can face the hot weather
without fear, and her dinner guests with
serenity.

fuls of straw berries and an orange left
over. Stalk and stone the cherries, stalk
the Straw berries, stone. peel and cut up
the apricots, or peel and slice the hanan-
as, then pee, the orange, dividing 1t into
it's natural sections. and removing every
pip and as much of the white pith as pos

them with sifted sugar, a little lemon
juice. and a liberal allowance Of Mara
schino syrup. Reverse a plate over the
bowl and leave the fruits to marinade
for an hour or two, turning them care
fully once or twice during the process
with a silver spoon and fork, being care
full to break and bruise them as little as
may be.
Line a plain charlotte mold with lemon

Pathetic Little Story Told of New
Orleans Monument.

In the city of New Orleans there are
many monuments erected to the famous
statesmen and soldiers of the South
But there is one which has Il more pa
thctic and deeper significance than any
Of these. 1t stands on Prytania street,
in the midst of beds of flowers and sur
rounded by stately dwellings and groves
of orange and palmetto. 1t is the figure
of a stout woman. who is seated, hold
ing a child. on which she looks down. her
homely face illumjned with Il noble be-
nightly and tender love.
THAT is cur Margaret" the stranger
is told when he asks what it means.
All New Orleans knows Our Mar

She was n poor woman. who earned
her living by making bread. which she
sold from little shop: a thrifty. ener-
getic business woman. whose heart was
full of love for children. Before the
ragged urchin who would be sent away
with full hands and happy face.
AS Margaret prOspered. and her bake
shop enlarged into a cracker factory, she
had her lovers. like other women. But
she turned Il. deaf ear to them ALL The
only man she would have married was
dead. and her heart was full of love
for children. for the orphans and the poor
little outcasts more wretched than or
phans.
All her money. all her thoughts and
care as years passed went to them. She
founded. cut of her scanty savings a
home for them. which. as she grew rich
CT, she enlarged and endowed with all
she had.
So wise so tender and benignant was
she in her care for them that this poor.
iliiterate woman. who was without
friends. became Our Margaret TO the
people of New Orleans. and a mother to
all the poor babies of the great city
When she died other charitable women
erected this monument so that the
homely figure should remain among them
