Italians about the court without in any
way mourning their jealousy. The
crown prince, as he then was, became
very much attached to Mrs. Lee, and IL
is to her that he owes the fact that he
is a frst-rate English scholar, speak
ing and writing the language well and
being wonderfully free from any ac-
cent. When Mrs. Lee died the Italian
royal family took her death as per-
sonal loss and showed every possible
mark of affection for her memory

Not many families have railway
station for their own use. but such a
privilege belongs to the descendants of
"A gentleman in the west Of England.
When the line was being laid the com
pany found that the gentleman inques-
ton owned property on the route, and
no amount of money would induce him
to part with it. Eventually they offered
to build him station for the exclusive
use of the family. with the right to stop
any train travelling either way, and UNI
der these conditions only he allowed
the line to be laid across his felds.-N

We read in the daily papers that
a Frenchman left 100000 francs to
the city of Rouen for the purpose OF
giving prize annually as a marriage
gift to two giants, the design being
to improve the physical stature OF
the race. This seems the silliest OF
all rewards of vice." which much
modern philanthropy is. Giants are
usually diseased, the most certainly
so the larger they are, and they are
of less service to the world than peo-
pie of ordinary size. Indeed, giantism
is itself a disease. Then. too, the
law of inheritance doesn't always
work as planned by the foolish count.
His marriage prize would very likely
have the very opposite result from
what he wished.-American Medicine

ELECTRIC LINE POWER HOUSE
lola Electric Line Will Have its Own
P0wer-Grading Being Pushed
and Bill for Spikes is Here.

When f. V. Crouch received his
franchise for the construction and
operation OF an electric street railway
between here and LaHarpe he in
cluded in his contract provision that
ne might secure power from the city
electric lighting plant. In order to
supply this the city would have to en-
large its power house, install new
boilers and generators and be to a
considerable expense. SO the news
that that Mr.. Crouch has decided to
operate an independent power plant
will be of general interest. He has
bought three acres on the bank OF
Rock Creek just north of the electric
line and will there erect a large power
house in which he will install a $50
horsepower engine and a $50 kilowatt
generator. Thus located in the mid
die of the line the power can be trans
mitted much more satisfactorily.
Another point of interest is that
power enough will be generated to
operate the line and supply all the
bloomin' electric fans and incandes-
cent lights lola people may want. In
summer incandescent lights re most
desirable in residences as they give nc
heat, while the electric fan is the only
known invention which will permit a
man to keep cool. BY sleeping be-
meath the hydrant, with the water
turned on and an electric fan playing
on him anybody can keep cool ever
now and in lola.
In spite of the heat some thirty-fve
men are at work daily grading for the
road. They are now on the Mannuys
land west of Gas City and itisexpected
that additional scrapers will be here
this week and the grading finished
into Gas City by the middle of nex'
week.
The present delay in track laying i:
due to the inability to get spikes, but
bill of lading telling of their ship
ment has been received and the spikes
are likely to come at any time. As
soon as they do more rails will b'
laid and the condition of the streets
will be considerably improved at once
As noted in the REGISTER the peopl,
of Humboldt are taking consider
able interest in the plan to extend 4
branch of the electric road from lola
there. The committee which visited
here last week went home we'll pleased
and got out Immediately and circuIa
ted a paper to raise money for pre-
liminary survey. In n short tim'
nearly half the required amount wa
secured.

Pound a Hobo in the Engine Tank.

Last night the fireman on No. 400,
the south bound Santa Fe passenger
train received a great scare. The
train stopped at Mulvane, and the en-
CINE took water. During this time the
fireman was standing in the back of
the tender. After full tank had
been taken the fireman released the
spout from the!water tank and it was
pulled up to its place. He had no
sooner let it go than the head of a
man appeared in the manhole of the
tank. The fellow was nearly drowned
and his appearance at that time and
place gave the fireman all kinds of
heart trouble. The fellow had crawled
into the tank at Wichita and there was
at that time but a small amount of
water in lit. He, of course, didn't
think that full tank would be taRen
on at Mulvane and figured that he
would have a cool ride with his body
in the water, but his head out. When
the tank was filed up he was nearly
drowned before he could get air. He
will probably not try to ride in the
tank again. -Arkansa City Traveller.

communities in this county seems to
be coming, The REGISTER has re-

Routes given attention as soon as pos

trict and have the papers in the lola

Gas Found at Stark.

A dispatch TO the Ft. Scott Monitor
from Stark, small town just south
east of Allen county's line, says they
have gas there. The dispatch reads:
The citizens of this place are
greatly elated on account of striking
II good flow of gas. The work of pros
pecting was being done by alocal com
company and this is the first hole that
has been sunk. When the drill reached
depth of 600 hundred feet gas rushed
out with such force as to cause work
to be suspended. The gas will be
piped and used for lighting and heat
ing the town. The nearest point from
here at which gas has been found is in
Erie fourteen miles away. Other wells
will be sunk ~

What are GOo-Goo Eyes.

The expression making goo-goo
eyes" is very common and yet many
people do not know what they are. In
response TO an inquiry the Cincinnati
Concentrations gives the following
description;
Goo-goO eyes re-um-yum-well-why
goo-goo eyes, OF course. Don't you
understand o, that kind you can't
endure for your girl to cast at the
other follow. You knowl Just make
you turn green with jealousy when she
darts those coquetish glances out of
the left corner of dropped lids in the
direction of that rubbering rival, o,
when she toses them at you, that's
different. Your pulse goes up to l40
and you have to double your tongue
to kee p your heart from jumping out.
Goo-goo eyes? Why, goo-goo eyes
are love looks. That's it! See? Love
looks! How simple. It's wonder
you wouldn't know without asking.
Don't you remember the poet telling
you that eyes looked love? Those are
they--those goo-goo eyes!
OF course, you goo-goo right back
again If you are "it." If his rubber
ship, the hated rival, attempts to de-
clare in on the goo-goo game, your
proper recourse is to promptly black
both his, so he can't goo.
But that aside, it is perfectly plain
now, isn't it? No possibility of you
mistaking message in optical tele-
graphy? In case of any lingering
doubt, however, better give yourself
the better and the other fellow the worst
of it. Goo, whether, or not you are
sure she is goo-gooing, or, if she is,
that she is goo-gooing at you or him.
It's catching, violently contagious.
You have only to keep gooing and
she'll soon goo-goo. Once the circuit
is complete and the current coursing,
you won't need any touting on what's
what and who's who. You can read
the answer in the stars: you'll s e
meteors and comets and double riuged
fixed systems. The electric thrill that
there and then begins to chase itself
through the highways and bypaths of
your anatomy will make eXtraneous
explanation superlatively superfluous.
With this perfectly lucid diagram
experiment should be easy, Exper-
fence is, after all, the only school
where love lessons are satisfactorily
learned.

The neighborhood of Kapolya, in
Hungary, has recently been infested
with marauding bands of gypsies. AS
a preventive measure and as warn
ing to the others the gendarmes cap
tured one of the gangs, and only re-
leased them after cutting short the
hair of the principal members. This is
considered by the gypsies to be the
most awful humiliation, and the gang
determined to have its revenge. One
dark night they sneaked back to the
village and poisoned the wells. Next
day Is persons died and a very great
number were taken seriously i'll. Sew
eral gypsies have been arrested, and a
large quantity of strychnine was found
on their persons.-Nienna Cor. London
