The Buckatunna Banner has dis.
covered an old ledger running through
the years of 1873. 1916, and 1877. The
book shows that it was the property
of a McLaurin, the grandfather Of
some McLaurin's still living, and that
he was for years an Office holder, and
later kept bar, selling whiskey at one
dollar a gallon and sugar for twenty
cents IA pound. Funny how these old
books will be revived after being
knocked around from family to family
for generations.
The Telegram expresses it right
when IL says all that is written upon
the subject Of divorce is that much

You cannot keep a MAJ tied to a re-
pulsive woman, MOI a woman to Il bru-
tai man; hence the shortest eXtrica-
tinn from the delimma is that divorce
should he regulated by congress and
for this u national divorce bill should
he passed.

A Discovery in Economics.

A certain we1l-known railway con- tractor had the reputation of looking after the minor details of his great business with a keen eye. One morn ing, while out inspecting the work that was being done on 2 railway, he picked up a stray bolt lying by the Side of the hne. Then he walked to where the men were working on the road.
 Look here," he called out to one of the worlxmen, "how is it that I find bolts lying about: wasted? I have to pay for these things, you know
 .'Why, where did you get that, sir P } 1T found 1t little way up the line here"
 ssOh, did you?n cried the workman. ssI'm much obliged to you, sir, for I've been hunting for that bolt all the forenoon. and wasted a mornings worth of your money. I knew there was one missing. M Mss

r..pt,f.I w.men of Ca.hmere.

Many of the women of India, espe- cially in Cashmere, are remarkably beautiful, but it is difficult to obtain sight of them, and almost impossible to obtain photographs of them. Either they or their husbands seem to have rooted distrust of photogrG- phers, and, even if they do have their photographs taken, the permission for copies to be sold is very rarely given. Tn typical Hindoo beauty the fea- lures are regular, the skin just dark enough to give rich softness to. the complexion and gentle looking black eyes are shaded with long lashes. The hands and feet are small and beauti- fully modelled, and to all other charms are added gentle, modest manner and, that most excellent thing in wom- an, sweet, soft voice.--Detroit Free Press.

' SQUIRREL AND HEIR YOUNG.

T was very much amused and very much instructed recently" said a man who lives in the country, ssby the an-4 ties of 2 mother squirrel in my sbec- ton, and while have grown up, as l might say. among squirrels and cy-. press trees. it was revelation to me. The squirrel had nested in low, dum- py cypress, close to the edge of lake, and the nest was probably 30 or 40 feet from the ground. The mother squirrel happened to be in q tree at the time, although had no occasion to notice either the old squirrel or her young until something tragical hap pened in the family. Tn some way one of the little fellows scrambled over the edge of the nest and fen to the ground. I heard the noise, and. looking in the direction of the sound I saw the baby squirrel sQuirming around in great agony and totally un-. able to get on it's feet. The mother squirrel rushed down the side of the cypress like a streak, and almost in an instant she was by the side of her offspring. She took in the situation at 8 glance and set to work to get the youngster back in the nest. She switched the body around and turned it over, and then grabbed it with her teeth just under the smaller portion of the back. Instinctively, suppose, the young squirrel threw it's arms around the mothers body, and after she had made sure that the hold was good she started cautiously back to the nest. She reached there safely, placed the wounded baby in the nest and crawled in herself, and saw no more of the distressed mother nor of the young ster I was very much impressed with the gentleness and skill she dis played in handling the injured baby squirrel, and really it was an inspir- ing scene New Orleans Times Demo crat. ss--sT ~ -'-s {

 Seeks a Part of His Wealth.

V
 Des Moines, Ia, May 23.--Mrs Maria Shuler of Des Moines will go to New York next month to prove herself the sister of Millionaire William Marsh Rice. Mrs Shuler has been a washer woman here twenty-five years and is 75 years old. My name was Maria Rice" said Mrs Shuler. As children William Rice and I grew up in Crau- ford county, Pa. Before were were grown our father moved with us to Chatneld, Ninn. After we had lived there one year my brother William left homo and we never heard from him again. He was 72 years old. Our father was French and our mother Dutch. Mrs Fannie Partlow of Grin- nell is our only sister living. She will go with me to New York as soon as Valet Jones is well enough to go into court. I believe we can establish our claim to part of William Rice's prop erty.''
 Mrs Shu1er resembles the pictures of Millionaire Rice very much. Her hus- band and four children are living with her here.
