ousr1NG A o1rY COUNCIL.

Cleveland-Attorney General Sheets
began quo warranto proceedings in
the circuit court Monday to oust the
Cleveland city council and demand
that the members Of that body show
by what right they hold Office. Judge
Caldwell of the circuit court granted
an order restraining the city council
from granting further franchises or
special privileges until the case is
heard and decided. Attorney General
Sheets holds that inasmuch as the
federal plan of municipal government
has been declared unconstitutional by
the state supreme court the city coun-
Gil is an illegal body.

MnEonn of a rnks wild Man.

The wild man from South America,
with horns like an OK and tusks like Il
wild boar came to grief in Valdosta
after his performance. After the
exhibition he discarded his native garb
and went to a negro hall to attend an
entertainment. He became involved in
a quarrel there, and pulled his gun and
fired it of to frighten his antagonist.
A policeman in that neghborhood
pulled the wild man, whose name was
given as Calvin Byrd. His arrest dis
closed one of the most novel fakes
ever seen there. Byrd is n ginger-col-
Ored negro, and has had an inclSion
made in his head and a thin piece OF
metal slipped under the skin. Attached
to this piece of metal are two threaded
knobs to which large horns are
screwed, giving an appearance exact
ly as though the horns grew from his
head. On his eye teeth are large
threaded gold crowns, to which are
screwed the tusks when Byrd goes on
exhibition. Rugged up as the wild man
from South America he was capital

A Fascinating Profession.

The tradition in India is that the
man-eating tiger never gets over has
thirst for human blood. Men reform
from evil habits, break or from trades
and cut loose from associations and To-
calities but never or rarely from jour
nalism. Some have tried TO account
for this well-known fact by recounting
the fascina tions Of the "art preserYa-
tive"
This may be the case in some de-
gree, but it cannot be all Of 1t. When
one has engaged In the newspaper
business he acquires some partial
knowledge Of all the ordinary pursuits
and ayocations, and this seems to un-
fit him for centralizing his faculties
upon any Of them. Consequently he
experiences a certain tImldlty as to
embarking upon mercantile or manu-
featuring pursuits
Besides this they all seem to him
to be narrow and limited. There Is a
boundless Wilderness in journalism
which gives the country newspaper
man the impression that he would not
like TO be tied down to the groove in
which he sees even the biggest furnl.
ture dealer OF the most active grocer
engaged.

Whcreupcn everybody laughed and
repeated Mayor Jenkins's joke. Then
the wags out Grants way began to
put u jobs" on Jethson. They
would stop by and ask casually If he
wanted to lease any more land, and
when they realized that he was dead
in earnest about getting more acres,
that he wasn't particular about tle
quality of the land, SO long as 1t was
near Plinly, and could be leased for
ten years or longer, they began to
get a vague idea that "mebbe Pete
was up to suthinf." Then for a while
old man Grant was waylaid on the
corners in Pimly and at intervals
alcng the road, by farmers who want
cd to know what Pete was to do with
his leased lands. When Grant said
he didn't know, they either disbe-
lleved him or pitied the necessity Of
yelling his sOn-in-law's mental frailty
and went their ways. But the old
fellow was now bent on knowing. He
refused to accept the theory that Pete
was "daffy," preferrng to estimate
his eccentricities as pure ornery lazl-
ness" At last he got the young man
into a corner Of the sitting.room, when
Sophie was away, and qulzzed him re-
lentlessly.

concluded folks is beginnln' TO think

didn't Pete leased the west eighty
from his father-n-law and built a cot
tage, declaring that he meant to make
his fortune right there. He started
by bringing from his old home in the
East all his books, fishing tackle, guns
and other impractical effects. When
the Kansas winter vanished before
matchless spring he began to roam
over "our farm"
"What you going to do first, petc o.
Sophie would ask.
Just look around for a while, So
phie," he would say, and march of
whistling toward the creek or down
into the timber. where he counted the
walnut trees and shot an occasional
squirrel. Then he riggcd up a shop
near the barn and bought a lot Of
secondhand gas pipe, iron rods and
queer implements that had nothing to
do with farming.
What ye goin' to do naOw, PeteY'
the old man asked, cycling him with
unexpressed wonder.

Remarkable evidence Of the need for
jamestown tercentenary anniver-
sary, says the Norfolk Landmark, is
furnished by the ignorance of most
Americans with regard to the status Of
jamestown itself. This cradle of the
nation, as all virginlans know, is no
longer inhabited by any person except
those who keep guard over the ruins
there jamestown is nothing but a
name and a remnant. If 1t were not
for the care with which the Society for
the Preservation of Virginia Antiqui-
ties preserves the old walls and other
relics, not a trace of the famous town,
we dare say, would be left.

English Looks and Paris Manners.

Engllshwomen In general are really
better looking than any other women
in Europe, and yet, except among a
very small section of the upper classes,
they never seem to take the slightest
care, and their hair usually looks as il
a bird had made Its nest there-and
not very tidy bird, either. In Paris
the women of the grisette class, the
shop girls, the workers in all the va
rious trades in which young women OF
quite the poorest sort are engaged,
have invariably their hair smooth,
clean and dressed to perfection The

kitchen smiled confidently and her
father grumbled in his whiskers.
1t was like that all summer and fall.
Pete didn't do anything in the way Of
work except what he did secretly in
his shop or on his well. The neigh

times and shout at him: Hey, Mis-

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.

How often in our busy life
We speak bitter word;
We care not who the listeners are,
We care not where 'tis heard.
We do not know within our heart
10 what it may amoUnt,
And truly, it is only one
OF little things that count.
We often wound the trusting heart
BY being insinCere.
We do not think that which we do
May cause lonely tear.
We give it but passing thought,
And bother not about
The little things that rise and cause
The trusting heart to doubt.
We often wrong within ourself
The ones who love us true,
Because they tell us OF fault;
We're all impatient, too,
And do not down the angry worcs
That to our lips may mount,
But watch and wait; It's only one
Of little things that count,

swain had proposed for the hand Of
the village beauty, and had been sue.
cessful and carried off the palm. He
had bought the engagement ring and
was hurrying as fast as his two feet
would carry him to the home of his
adored one. A friend tried to stop
him to make inquiry concerning his
haste.

"Yes," replied Bob, with what breath
he had left, my hearts on fire and I'm

it is -iveted a second plate carrying
two downwardly projecting lugs in
which horizontal screw is inserted as

shoulders to engage the last on all
sides, while in the bottom a number Of
screws are placed. These screws are
