Knew What She Wrote.

The need Of q lead pencil caused a
lady who rode in q street car the other
day no small embarrassment
She sat running over her shopping
list when suddenly she thought Of
something to add to it. She looked in
her pocketbook and ransacked all it's
divisions, cardcase and all, but no pen
Gil did she find. Modestly she hest
tated about asking her neigkbors, but
with quick resolve she finally leaned
toward a gentleman seated by her and,
holding up her list, said loud enough
for those in adjacents seats to hear,
Excuse me- sir, may I borrow your
necktie q moment?"
The gentlcmans establishment was
expressed in bis silent facial cOntor
tons until the lady REDEEMED deeply.
"My necktie, MADAME" he replied,
with arched eyebrows.
Didn't say 'pencil?" she asked.
And then everybody, grinning behind
newspapers, knew what the lady add
ed to her list.-EXchange.

Brought Down From Heaven.

According to Mohammedan belief,
the first copy of the Koran, or Alkoran,
their sacred book, was brought down
from the highest to the lowest heaven
by Gabriel on the mysterious night OF
AL Khade in the month of Ramadan.
This wonderful book, written in heav-
en- and bound in satin, jewels and
gold, was communicated to Moham-
med at different. times during period
of twenty-three years. This was done,
according to Mohammedan belief, Ell

The state of Virginia once owned a

known as Ben the Bell Ringer of the
University of Virginia. The university
only had 5000 left oyer when it was
endowed, and it was proposed to buy a
negro with this amount and keep him
as bell ringer. They bought Ben,
and in his time he became a great char

Caracas, Jan. 6.-FOurteen hundred
revolutionists under Generals Ramos

revolutionists abandoned the field and
the town of Guatire. They had fifty

One of their guns was captured. A

The activity and energy displayed by

Making UP the Committees.
The session of the legislature begins
Tuesday, Jan. 13, at noon. and after
organization a recess of considerable.
length will be taken, to allow the
speaker to make up his committees
q very important function. In these
matters members usually freely ex-
press their preference basing their re-
quests on some experience that may
have fitted them for u peculiar work,
as the insurance committee, the rail
road committee, and the like. Indeed,
the practice has sprung up of the va
riOuS interests affected making SuggeS-
tons as to who are fit men to con-
slider their affairs. 1t is delicate work
and calls for much n.rve and wide
acquaintance on the part of the pre-
siding officer.
AS to who will be speaker of the
assembly there is uncertainty. Mr.. l.
l.. Lenroot, the West Superior lawyer,
member in the last session. He is
good talker and advocate, and the La
Toilette forces would be happy to see
him ut the helm in view of the hard
fighting that is before the session. The
other candidates. Mr.. George III. Ray
of La Crosse Speaker in 1899 and in
1000 and Ira B. Bradford, speaker in
the session of 1881, may be regarded
rs more acceptable to the Spooner
forces There will be furry over
the disposing of this honor. and the
outcome will outline pretty fairly the
distribution of the governors strength
on which he may depend.

be that pending the signature of the
arbitration protocol the blockade with
in the limits agreed upon shall be
sharply applied Hence, unless the
preliminaries for arbitration are ar
ranged immediately, action similar to
that adopted at Porto Cabello will
naturally be taken at other ports. By
making the blockade felt, it is claimed.
President Castro's decisions will prob
ably be FASTENED. There is also an
impression that President Castro ought
