Train by Missouri

Paris, Texas, May IAN attempt
was made last night to hold up the
Frisco express train, between Selig.
man and Wasnburn, Mo.
Two men boarded the blind baggage
car at the former place and after the
train pulled out climbed the ten
der into the cab and covered the en-
.gineer n firemen with revolvers.
They ordered the engineer to increase
speed and to stop when given the sig
nails. Two miles beyond Seligman they
expected him to stop. Seven or eight
men appeared at the spot designated
as the train approached.
Meanwhile the engineer had pulled
the throttle wide open and when or
.dered to stop was making more than a
mile a minute down grade. 1t was i'm
possible to stop within half a mile.
After leaving the confederates out of
sight the robbers abused the engineer
for not stopping and ordered him to let
them off at Washburn, a way station.
The engineer obeyed and the twc

'7-7-----------=-----a=~-- "Liddell and Scott.'

Letter 10 Editor of Pail Mall Gazette,
 Probably both the origin and the bent of the jeu desprit lately forming a sub ject of correspondence in your columns have been lost sight of and improved from time to time. If this be so, the best version is the best worth preserva- tion. and as good a quatrain as any. framed in suitable anecdote, seems to me to be the following, stated to be the result of q mandate from Dr. Liddell then head master of Westminster School that an impromptu epigram on the Lexl- con should be composed by the sixth. The form as abody regarded the task with horror, but one of their number evolved four lines which turned the tables on his master:
 Two men wrote Iexicon-Lidden and
 Scott,
 The one half was clever, the other was
 rot"
 Now harken. you fellows. and answer this
 riddle,
 Which half was by Scott and which was
 by Liddell?
 The point of the epiGram lay in the vast number of errat& in the lexicon, the greater part of them inevitable in 9 work of such magnitude and on SD ah- struse subject. II is said that no fewer than 1000 wrong "breathinGs" occur III the words classified. The story goes that when apN 9ns ef sAsss missAksa Mas.

Jones. now holding court in Huntsville. With the report went a request from the attorneys interested in the case to Judge Jones asking that he set date to hear arguments on the report.
 It Is said that the report of Referee Stratton is to the effect that the Slocomb Naval Stores Company is in an insolvent condition and that it has committed an act of bankruptcy.
 The company was formerly one of the largest naval stores companies operating in Southeast Alabama. Its headouarters were at Dothan and it did large busi- ness. An involuntary petition in bank ruptcy was filed by the creditors of the company. the principal creditors being Montgomery firms.
 A receiver was appointed for the com pany and took charge of its affairs. The claimed that it was in a solvent condi- ton and asked for an opportunity to prove it. hearing was ordered at which Referee Stratton presided, in February. Evidence relating to all the affairs of the company was introduced and the hearing continued for several days.
 stenographic. report of this evidence was filed with Referee Strdtton upon which he reported to Judge Jones'
 The attorneys expect that hearing on Referee Strattons report will be granted by Judge Jones and that arguments will be heard in Huntsville.

Sociability of the Lower Animals. Boston Christian Register

Sociability of the Lower Animals. Boston Christian Register.
 Probably President Tucker of Dart mouth College was not correctly reported when he was quoted as saying: Man is the only creature we know who has d sense of loneliness. Dr. Tucker was preaching in the chapel of Harvard Uni versity. part of his text, being. T am a stranger on the earth" pr. Tucker is a wise man. and we shall not hold him responsible for saying which would i'm dicate a lack of knowledge of and sym pathy with that vast body of animated life which lies partly outside of and partly below human life and society. One of the new perceptions, which is making human life more human and animal life more tolerable is just this discovery that many of what we call the lower animals have the social instincts highly developed, and not only love and trust human be- ings. but feel loneliness in its most acute form when they are cut off from the society of their friends. In their rela- tions with each other also. one of the traits which brings them within the range of our sympathy is their mutual affec- tion and the loneliness which, when they are separated from their companions. makes them unhappy. and sometimes even causes them to pine away and die. The wisest men and women are now cultivat- ing social relations with birds and beasts, not merely to discover what may be learned about the psychology of the animal world. but also to improve the quality of human beings by giving them new objects of interest and a wider range of sympathies.
