BUZZARD AND ROOSTER.
Former Carried Of His Antagonist al
 the End of String.

Brer Buzzard no longer depends upon fable for his claim to ingenuity and craft. He has just given mod ern example of these qualities. In Kentucky man had game rooster which had won many hard-fought battles and was conceded to be the champion of the county. One day re- gently another man called on the owner of this bird and was invited to admire the ''fnest gamecock in Ken lucky" The visitor refused to ad- init that the rooster was the cham pion of his class. Indeed, he went so far as to suggest that the bird was an inferior fowl and could not even whip a buzzard. The owner offered to wager handsome sum that there was not a gamecOck in the state, much less a buzzard, which could de- feat his pugnacious pet. The stran- ger insisted on matching a feathered scayenger against the rooster. The match was arranged and the stake money duly deposited. The owner of the gamecock stipulated that the buzzard should be tied to the rooster with a cord two yards long in order to insure a fight and not running match. The battle came off accord ing to programme. When the con- batants faced each other the noble gamecock crowed defiantly and then squaring himself in fighting posi- tion, ready to kill his despised an- tagonist with a well-aimed blow. The buzzard looked pensively at the feathered champion of Kentucky, then deliberately spread his wings and mounted slowly skyward, bear ing his antagonist at the end of the string with him. At last accounts the scavenger of the air was still fly ing.-N. Y. Post.

BALFOUR'S HOME.
The Scottish Residence of Prime Minis
 ter of England.

Whittingehame, East Lothian, the home of Mir. Arthur Balfour, says the Edinburgh Scotsman, has no palatial look. Turrets and towers are conspic- uous by their absence. A plain, com- modious building of light gray sand stone, built for comfort, not for show, standing in the midst of a green lawn, at the far sides of which the branches of the horse chestnuts dip to the ground and the beech and the larch and the fair wych elm vie with each other in growing. Iris a quaint Saxon word, "Whittingehame." It IS said to mean the abode of the white man.
 The first room in Whittingehame, in point of interest to all who think of the man before the house he lives in, is Mir. Balfour's study. It is not a large room, 22 by IS feet. Here, when Mr. Balfour comes north after "letter time," he transacts business. A telephone brings this room in touch with the telegraph stations at East Linden and Stenton. Heavy tonnes of heavy reading are on the shelves and table. Mir. Balfour's study Is in a corner room. His desk Ia revolving Shannon) stands before the southwest window. A humble ad- mirer looked in vain for notes of his latest speech. Rudyard kipling's "In Black and White' lay peacefully there instead, and on the grand piano be- tween the northeast windows Han del's Messiah lay side by side with 'British Golf Links," by Horace Hutchinson. And why not? Is it not the diversity of pastime which gives mind and strength for the bur- den of place? MT. Balfour is bril- liant musician ald has written an article on musical subjects. Every one knows he is capital judge of good story; and golf-well, there's press full of golf balls at his study door.
 The wall space of the study is filled with books to within foot of the cornice. Books of philosophy, his tory, science, whole shelves of ency- clopedias and state books; the French masters, the classics, the poets, find a niche somewhere. A quaint fender of green Connemara marble guards the tiled hearth, and the eyes finger and rest on Raphaels ''Virgin and Child' above it.
 Mir. Balfour's bedroom opens off his study. A small painting of ''Ecce Homo" hangs at the head of the sim pie bed, and from above the fireplace the beautiful face of the statesman's mother looks down on her son. You can trace the likeness, the same dark eyes, the same strong, yet sensitive mouth, and as you look you do not wonder at the name the country peo- pie gave her, ''The good Lady Blanche"

GOT HIS COAL FOR NOTHING.
And the Man He Got It From Made
 Money on the Deal.

A West Philadelphia man is telling with great glee how he acquired pos session of two tons of coal that didn't cost him cent. He has been buy ing his coal for several years from the same dealer, and early last spring the dealer said to him Let me put in four tons of coal for you" T can't spare the money just now," said the West Philadelphian. "Oh, that's all right" replied the coal man. You can pay me when you have it." So the four tons of coal were delivered. The summer waned, the price of coal scared upward, and the four tons still remained unpaid for. The other day the dealer met the man who has the coal. "How about it?" he asked T can't pay you just yet, :" was the reply. The coal man knit his brows. "I have proposition to make to you" he said. "You've got four tons. Let me take two and you can have the rest, and I'll give you a receipted bill" So the bargain was sealed, the man got his two tons for nothing, and the dealer made hand some profit on the other two.-Phil- adelphia Record.

AN ODD NEWSPAPER.
The Only One Printed Below the Level
 of the Sea.

of the Sea.
 So far as Is known there is but one newspaper in the world printed be- low the level of the sea. That paper, says the New York World, is the h. dio-Submarine or as 1t is now known, the Coachella Submarine. The pa per is little four-page weekly, which does not present remarkably pre- possessing appearance, but it serves the requirements of the community In which it circulates.
 The desert does not present too abundant facilities for journalism, as one or two extracts from the paper itself will suggest, and the Subma- Tine is situated in the midst of the most formidable of the deserts of Cal ifornia-the Colorado desert, of this county. Regarding the papers recent move from Indio to Coachella, the editor of the paper says:
 Inducements of a flattering char acter having been offered the pub- fisher in the way of a bonus, we have removed our printing office from Indio to Coachella, a distance of B miles. We have dropped from 22 feet below sea-level to 76 feet below sea-level.
 'We hit Cesshella with a dull vet raucous thud. Yhe low, rumbling noise you heard last Tuesday was caused by our printing office making the drop. It may be truly said that the Submarine is the lowest down, or the lowdownest, or the most low down newspaper on earth. As near y as we can compute the distance, hades is about S12 feet just below our new office. The paper will con- tinue to advocate the interests of all the country below sea-level, and we want you to fire in all the news you know"
 A short time ago the Submarine failed to appear for two consecutive weeks, and the editor made the fol- lowing apology and explanation:
 Having business to transact in Riverside, in Los Angeles and in Ven- tura county, the editor left 1ndio on September s and was gone an even two weeks. Before leaving he print ed one-half of the Submarine for the next week. At Los Angeles he gave printer $1O as expense money and a key to the office, to come down and get out the rest of the paper for the 18th, as well as the following issue. Care free, he sped away to Ventura county, and, after transacting the business in hand, set out for good time, and he had it., too.
 Returning to Los Angeles, he read a Riverside dispatch to the Los Angeles papers to the effect that fears were entertained that he had met with foul play, as the paper of the 18th had not made its appear ance and the editor had not been heard of in two weeks. That brought us home in hurry.
 'The only foul play we met with, outside of baseball game, was the failure of the printer to come down and get out our paper during our ab- sence.
 "When we discovered that the pa- per hadn't been issued we immediately returned and took up our work where we left off, and that's why, gentle reader, the last issue you received bore two dates-one sheet that of September 13 and the other that of September 27. The issue of the goth? We were obliged to cut that outw
