~ Vddt 70 Either Metropolis Many
Interesting Things to Be Discovered.
Especial Correspondence

-AISFORTUNE is that French
men do not visit England to
the same extent as English
men do France. What lot
-- OF interesting things they
would discover! What number of
our most cherished beliefs we should
have, to throw overheard! Not all the
English are fair and lean, with enor-
NOUS teeth, due to eating nothing but
raw meat soaked in tea and pale ale!
There is such thing as q young and
pretty Englishwoman.
Here are crowds of dark-complex-
ioned, stout Englishmen, while Eng
lishwomen, young and pretty, are to
be encountered in the London streets
as thick as summer daisies in the
meadows.
This is, perhaps, the first observa-
ton that Frenchman makes on his
arrival in the English capital, if he
keeps his eyes open and does not re-
semble the legendary Englishman
who, on first reaching French soil,
perceived red-haired woman, and inn

end did not look out of the window
again until he was in Italy.
He did not like red-haired women.
When a German visits a strange
town the first thing he does is to find
out where he can drink the best Ger
man beer; the Italian looks up to
see whether the sky is blue; the
American reads the sign-boards and
advertisements; the Englishman ex-
amines the shops, lAe moving vehicles
and the crowds in the streets;
Frenchman has only eyes for-the
ladies.
Hardly has his foot trod for the
first time on the London pavements
before the Frenchman discovers that
the London lady and the Parisienne
differ from each other in everything.
The Parisiennes walk, gestures,
dress are more agreeable to look at;
her London sister dresses in a more
practical fashion, her appearance is
more serious, more sober The Paris
ienne walks with short steps, does
not look before her, but rather to right
and left, observing the shops and all
the little curiosities' of the streets. She
is amused by all she sees in the
course of her promenade.
lhe English woman, on the contrary,
goes straight ahead with long steps.
Her walk is serious affair. She
knows where she wants to go. She
has goal. II she has gone out to
buy her husband a dozen pair of socks
you may be certa.l she will not come
home with bag of pastry instead.

out to purchase a clock we can never
be certain they will not return with

NO CORN AT ALL.
Drought Makes a Distressing
Situation i'm One Section
of the County.

There is a certain section of Ter
rell county, in the western portion,
about three miles in width and seven
or eight miles in length, where there
has been no rain in seven weeks. To
the farmers residing in this section
the crop conditions are naturally dis
tressing. The corn, more especially,
is suffering intensely-to such de-
gree, in fact, that on some fields the
production will not be bushel to the
acre. On other farms the condition
are more encouraging, one-fourth
to one-half of crop being the pros
pect.
Mr.. Tom Crawford, residing in the
edge of this drouth section, brought to
The News Office Saturday three ears
of corn from his fields which give a
fair idea of the condition of things.
One cob contains no grains at all, the
second about one-tenth of the usual
number and the third about one
fourth.

They did so, and arrested him shortly
