Persons Living Along the Rio Grande
Fear Yellow Fever.

Washington, Oct. Fearing an cpl
demic of yellow fever, a number of per-
sons living along the Rio Grande have
appealed to the war department for
the establishment of shotgun quaran-
tine and that the soldiers be ordered to
this duty. While the officials of the
department are alive to the necessity
for action to prevent the spread of the
disease, they have concluded that the
present outbreak does not justify such
radical steps contemplated by the
request for troops.

Buy Coal Now.

Every family in Topeka ought to
make some provision for their winter
supply of coal now: it may be difficult
to get it later The demand is greater
than the supply now, and it is plain to
be seen what the conditions will be
when cold weather sets in. This applies
to all grades OF coal. We can now fill
all orders promptly and the coal can be
handled better now than in rough
weather, which can be looked for at any
time.

Bulgarian Wedding Customs.

A curious wedding custom which ex-
lists in Bulgaria is the shaving Of the
bridegroom on the wedding day.
While the barber is engaged upon his
face a dancing crowd of boys and girls
surround the bridegroom. When his
hair has beer cut. the pieces are care
fully collected by some of the girls. to
be preserved in one Of the brides
chests.
After the barber has finished his
work he receives a small white linen
cloth as Il present. and each person
gives him i trifing sum of money.
Then the bridegroom kisses the hand Of
each girl. washes his face and dons his
wedding dress. which must be first &C

These strange customs are said to
date back to pre-Christian days, but
they are still strictly observed, espe-

when Grant Was Easily Satisfied.
One rainy night in the autumn as
Mark Twain was leaving a theater on
Broadway. New York. he heard a voice
which was entirely strange to him ut
ter these suggestive words, "They say
General Grant is going to write his
memoirs after all"
Mr.. Clemens saw neither the man
MOI his companion, but regarded the
voice as essentially p~rovidential. He
was at that time a partner in the ex.
tremely successful firm Of Charles L..
Webster & Co. and considered himself
in luck to have heard so early in the
transaction the news Of General
Grants intention to write the book.
Early the next morning he sent in his
card at the generals residence and was
received by the latter in the library,
where he was evidently at work at that
very time upon the story Of his life.
The house in which he lived was on
Sixty-sixth street. near Central park,
and, being quite feeble at the time, he
spent most Of his days at home.
"Well, general said Mr.. Clemens. Il
hear that you are writing your story
after all?"
"Yes; I've written three chapters al.
ready, and the editors seem to like
them very well. The fact is" he added,
with a look that expressed q certain
timidity, "I'm glad to be able to earn a
little money in this way just now"
Il hope you'll get we'll paid for them"
said Mr.. Clemens.
"I think I'm very well paid" he re-
piled. 81 get $500 apiece for them"
Mr.. Clemens expressed great surprise.
