Pulled the BADGER.

Jake Rubeustein is "A young man
who recently came here with his
father to open the Bell dry goods
store. Jake has often been heard
to complain that there was nothing
doing In Waxahachie, that things
here were not as lively as in Chica-
go. Last night he told some OF the
boys that he was anxiously yearn-
ing for something exciting. They
told him that badger fight was
some times pulled off here just as
an innovation 10 the monotony. He
said he had seen lots of badgers but
didn t know they could fight and he
would like to witness an encounter
between one of these creatures and
a dog. a fight was accordingly ar
ranged for last night and Jake
agreed to offieiate at one end of the
string. The affair was pulled off at
the Board of Trade saloon and a
large crowd was present. Ii is said
that Jake pulled the string 60 per
lection and that he is now satisfied
that Waxahachie IL not so tame
after all.

NEW YoRK-cLosE.
In Old Mississippi.

1
After passing Alexandria, La,
we came to the cane and rice lands;
both cane and rice were fine. They
were harvesting the early crops of
rice. We passed numbers of sugar
and rice mills with their tall smoke
, stacks looming upward. They may
NAV make the molasses pure, but
by the time it reaches the consumer
the 'ribbOn" has been taken out of
! it. Crossing the Mississippi we
went aboard the Cannon Ball for
| Nee )mb city, a distance Of LOG
miles which we made i'm two hours
and twenty minutes. There we were
met by friends who conveyed us to
| our place OF destination, distance
! of twenty miles. Here We met our
old friends after an absence OF thirty
years. \ protracted meeting was
going on at the old Mt. Zion church,
so my better half and ] decided to
take it in. Just under the hill be-
low the church is beautiful clear
stream where she was baptized
We crossed that and as we climbed
the hill where sits the church the
landscape was covered with buggies
and carriages. After the morning
services we were marched out TO
table that was enough to tempt %
king, after which our friends of
long ago gathered around us and
gladly received us. We just wish
to say right here that the people
! there live well.
We made a trip to old Union
church in Jefferson county, the
place of my childhood, there | at
tended school with the old blue back
speller. 1t is a small village, but
does a big business, as it is from
fifteen TO twenty miles from any
railroad. There we visited the GEM
etery where / have brother bur,
led. 1t is neatly kept and looks al
most as well as any city cemetery.
While there ! visited my old teach
err, Capt. ID. f. Burch, whom ] had
not seen in forty years, 1t was in
deed joyful meeting. He now oc-
cupies the residence once owned by

From there to Meadville. the
county seat of Franklin, we pulled
i'm at the home Of our old friend,
Rowan Cloy, and we want TO say
right here that he knows how to
feed. AS an evidence of it he mar
ried a little slender 30 pound girl
and now she tips the scale at 200
pounds. We met many old friends
here, DR.. Shirtlitf, another teacher
of ours, DR.. John Moore and Eu-
gene Adams. Mr.. Adams lost one
of his legs during the sixties and
after his return home he was elect

DAREDEVIL WoRKMAN-"I remem-
ber," said a bridge contractor some
time ago, while on the subject of work.
mems dare-deviltries, when working
at the big bridge across the Niagara,
when the two cantiever arms had ap-
preached within so feet of each other, a
feen rivalry as to whom should be the
first to cross sprang up among the men.
A long plank connected the two arms,
having about two and a half feet Of
support at each end. Strict orders were
issued that no one should attempt to
cross the plank upon penalty of instant
dismissal. At the noon hour sudden
ly heard a great shout from the men,
who were all staring up. Raising my
eyes, I saw man step on the end Of
that plank, stop a minute and look
down into the whirlpool below. I knew
he was going to cross and 1 shouted to
him, but he was too high up to hear.
Deliberately he walked out until he
reached the middle of the plank. 1t
sagged far down with his weight until
| could see light between the two short
supporting ends and the cantilevers on
which they rested. He saw the end in

BOUGHT FOR DoLLAR.-It Is re-
ported that Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan
gave a newsboy so cents for paper
and refused to take change. The incl
dent is illustrative. Mr.. Morgan not
only has the wealth Of a Croesus, but
the wisdom Of a serpent. He has made
that newsboy his friend. Whenever
Daniel Webster visited New York he
occupied a famous double room on the
first floor of the Astor house; there he
was accustomed to receive his visitors
and drink his brandy. Learning that
the barkeeper was politically hostile to
him and was constantly talking against
him, he one day went to the bar and
asked in his best manner for a drink
of brandy. After taking truly Web
sterian slug of the liquor he smacked
his lips and placed dollar on the cor
ner of the counter. The barkeeper
rendered to him the change. But Web
ster, shaking his fine head, said: mo,
sir; no change for such good liquor as
that" and grandly walked away. The
barkeeper was ever afterward one of
his most enthusiastic supporters. Web
ster. had bought him for one dollar and
a single sentence, and without his
knowledge. Mr.. Morgan, too, must
have great head.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

front Of him do this, hesitated and
looked back to see how the other end
was 1 thought he was going to turn.
He stopped, grasped both edges Of the
plank with his hands and throwing his
feet up, stood on his head, kicking
his legs in the air, cracking his heels
together and yelling to the terrified on
lockers. This he did for about a min
ute-it seemed to me like 40. Then he
let his feet drop down. stood up waved
his hat, and trotted along the plank to
the other side, slid down one of the
braces hand over hand, and regained
the ground. We discharged him, Of
course, but what did he care? He got
all the glory. his fellows envied him,
and he could command work any,

ABSENT T-MINDED.-Espjohn a Swed-
ish gentleman, fond of telling anecdotes
and incidents gathered during recent
visit to his native country, is respon-
sible for this addition to the absent
minded man" series:
a professor in one of the Swedish
universities. having finished his labors
for the day. was about to start home
when a fellow professor called his at
tention to the violent storm raging out
side and said: why go home? Better
remain at the college tonight"
He walked over to the window and
surveyed the situation. Yes, l think
1 will" he replied, nonchalantly, an all
absorbing topic of the class room yet
in mind.
Soon afterward he was missing, says
the New York Times, and it was sup
posed that he had changed his mind
and gone home; but later he reappear-
ed with a bundle under his arm and
showing evidence of having been ex-
posed to the storm. Something was
said regarding his errand.
Why" he replied. I've been home
after my night shirt. t.'-Exchange.

BOTH WERE SHoCKED.-Little Elsie,
was a faithful attendant at Sunday
school, and had listened earnestly when
plans for a coming Christian Endeav-
or convention were discussed, her in
terest increasing to enthusiasm over the
affair when she learned that her auntie
was to attend as a delegate.
Coming into the library one day,
auntie saw the little maid busily en-
gagged in writing letter to cousin
with whom she kept up juvenile cor
respondence. She scrawled industri-
ously for a moment, then stopped.
There was a puzzled expression on her
fat, ink-stained face, as she dangled
her short legs and whiggled uncomfor-
tably on her high perch.
"Auntie," she said, how do you spell
'devil?'"
"Oh, Elsie" said her auntie, II am
shocked! Why are you using such a
word as that in your letter? Nice lit
tie girls never say such things!"
1t was Elsie's turn to be shocked.

ALASKAN IN DRY DOCK
GREAT PREIGHTER IS
PLACED HIGH AND DRY
Changes Needed at the Hunters Point
Dock 10 Admit the Vessel
With Only Five
Spare luches,

San Francisco. March 23.--The AM
erican- Hawaiian Steamship Company's
giant freighter Alaskan was placed
high and dry on the Hunters Point dry
dock yesterday. The dock as ordinari-
ly used would be too small for vessel
of the Alaskan's dimensions. To get
her big hulk into the huge basin II
was necessary to raise the resting
blocks to a height of eight feet, and
thus take advantage of the upper part
Of the slope at the inner end a the
dock. The vessels rudder was rcmov.
ed When locked the bow was just
two inches from the inside sill, and
there was only three inches to spare at
the other end. Experts declare the
docking to be one of the cloverest bits
Of engineering ever performed in this
port.
The work of docking the leviathan
was handled by General Superinten-
dent John Beaton and Dockmaster
John Heubacher. both of whom were
very proud of the successful result of
their @reful calculations.
The Alaskan is one of the biggest
freighters in the world and far and
away the largest craft of her kind over
seen in this port. She will carry A.
3iS tons OF freight and 200 tons of coal
in her bunkers. She is $40 feet long.
sc feet beam and has 43 feet depth of
hold. She cost about S65O,O0O and will
make about eleven knots. Captain Ban
field, the commodore captain OF the
line is to be her first commander. Her
smokestack weighs twenty-three tons
and her rudder weighs eight tons, She
has seven matches and twcnty-threc
booms for working cargo. One of these
booms will handle fifty tons as easily
as fifty pounds. Three gangs of men
oan work simultaneously at one
hatch.
The Alaskan will be ready for her
trial trip by the end Of the month, and
soon after that will go into commits
sion. She will go from here to Nanaimo
TO coal, and will take from Puget
