"A letter received recently from
Mrs. b. w. Chase of Detroit, Mich.
states that she expects to visit Ores

this winter, and also Havana. and
that she is anticipating great pleas

Z. 5. Gowen arrived here on Thurs
day last and will devote his whole

Gowen will keep her house at Jack

The home and grove of S. w. Good

able to come to Florida more, and for
this reason he has made up his mind
to dispose of his property. The grove
is in the town limits and there is a
good house. twill probably be sold

Crescent City people would not
like to part with their new school

do feel that if the county executive
committee wants really competent

his interest, they would feel IL pride
in his selection and promotion.

occurred in Russia while he was en-
route to Persia.

Of the Russian language" he says. Il
inquired Of a polyglot fellow passenger
what was the Russian word for towel,
SO that could ask the guard for one.
'Palatiensi,' said he, and repeated
'palatiensi, palatiensi, palatiensi.' so
as to impress the word we'll upon my
memory. Having enjoyed good wash
and shampoo and dripping all over
with water, rang for the guard, and.
sure enough, when the man came |
could not recollect the word. At last 1t
dawned upon me that 1t was 'palatin-
ski and 'palatienskt' I asked of the
guard. To my surprise the guard
smiled graciously, and. putting on a,
modest air, replied, 'Palatinski MET,

only Russian), and the more l repeat

now on one syllable, then on the other,
to make him understand, the more fat

estly gave the same answer.
This was tncomprehensible to me TN.
til my polyglot fellow passenger came
to my assistance. DO you know what
you are asking the guard? he said in
commissions Of laughter. Yes, am
asking for palatinski-a towel No,
you are not!' and he positively went
into Mysteries. Palatinski means "Do
you speak Latin" How can you ex-
pect Russian railway guard to speak
Latin? Look how incensed the poor
man is at being mistaken for Latin
scholar! Ask him for a palatiensi, and
he will run for ( towel
"The man did run on the magic word
being pronounced and duly returned
with nice clean palatiensi, which,
however, was of little use to me, for

The One Above,

l especially remember Emile de Gil
rardin, editor, spouter, intriguer-the
Grand Emile" who boosted that he
invented and presented to the French
people a new idea every day. This
futile activity of his always seemed to
me best expressed in the American
simile, Busy as bee in tar barrel"
There was, indeed, one thing to his
credit: He had somehow inspired his
former wife, the gifted Delphine Gay,
with a belief in his greatness, and a
pretty story was current illustrating
this. During the revolution of 1913
various men of note, calling on Mime.
Girardin, expressed alarm at the prog
ress of that most foolish of overturns,
when she said, with an air of great
solemnity and pointing upward, Gen.
tlemen, there is one above who watches
over France" en- y un la-haut qui
veille sur la France.1 All were great
ly impressed by this evidence of sub
lime faith until they discovered by the
context that it was not the Almighty
in whom she put her trust. but the
great Emile, whose study was just
above her parlor.-Andrew D. White in

HAD A FIXED INCOME.
An Unfortunate Question and u Per-
fectly Frank ReDIy,


A lawyer who formerly practiced his
PROFESSION in Georgia tells In the New
York Telegram this amusing case
which he once tried In that state. He
was then student in the office of his
uncle, Colonel Culver, who figured in
local politics. A ''trif1ing'. negro, Ben
Sutton, had been arrested at the in
stance Of his wife, who was tired of
supporting him and insisted that the
court make him work:
l defended Ben at the instance of
my uncle, who was, l am sorry to say,
inclined to curry favor with the col
ored voter. Ben was on the stand,
and was examining him.

Eyes, know, but what want to
ask you is: Are you able to support
her? Have you any income-that is,

Ben looked puzzled. I tried to ex.
plain and told him that a fixed income
was an income on which a person
could rely absolutely, not one contin-
gent on odd 1obs--ln other words, a
certainty. My uncle was sitting at my
elbow coaching me, and thought
was doing right well. Now, tell the

"Yessar," answered the black scamp.
The answer almost took my breath
away, for had not counted on it.

The mechanism of the leg and foot of
chicken or other bird that roosts on
a limb is a marvel of design. 1t often
seems strange that bird will sit on a
r6ost and sleep all night without fall
ing off. but the explanation is perfectly
simple. The tendon of the leg of
bird that roosts Is so arranged that
when the leg is bent at the knee the
claws are bound to contract and thus
hold with sort of death grip the limb
round which they are placed. Put
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down and you will
have a practical illustration on your
skin that you will remember for some
time. By this singular arrangement,
seen only in such birds as roost. they
will rest comfortably and never think
of holding on. for it is impossible for
them to let go till they stand up.
