Mr.. Hoaf Of Texas.

Arrangements had all been
made by United States Ambassa-
dor Choate enabling Ex-Governor
Hogg of Texas to be presented to
King Edward at the time of the
coming coronation. The Texan
learned that it would be neces-
sary for him to appear in knee
breeches, sword, ETC., the regula-
ton court costume. "Never,"
said Mr.. Hogg; "if / cannot ap.
pear in the ordinary evening
dress of an Americ an citizen l
will not appear at all. A pretty
sight l would look, rugged up in
those gewgaws. / have not the
faintest idea Of trying to revolu-
tionize or even criticise English
customs, but blamed if I'll wear
another country's uniform; no,
not even for the sake of meeting
the king. Gable Press Dis

No Married Ladies' Need Apply.

1t has frequently transpired in

Little Rock school board has been
more or less inconvenitnced by
the marriage and resignation of
some of the lady teachers, and in
order to prevent a recurrence OF
this condition during the coming
year, President j. E. Williams
has taken the unusual precaution
of ascertaining whether any Of the
teachers contemplate matrimony
during the coming year, and SO
far has met with a negative res.
ponse in every instance. There
