All Have an Ditch" In Them.

Speaking of Servian Names" SAID
an observant man, "they are not so
bad when you once get used to them,
nor are they SO hard to pronounce
You no doubt have noticed that all Ser
Wan names end with syllable having
some resemblance to the English word
itch Some of the names end IN les,
or just with &c Sometimes it is 'ich'
or 'ics' or 'isch,' and so on. 1t makes
no difference how the name ends, you
will make no mistake if you give the
sound Of itch to the last syllable.
That will be the proper Servian sound,
for Petrovich or Petrovic would be
correct, and in both instances the word
would be pronounced in the same way,
by sounding the itch Servian names
are all right when one gets used to
them, but they are strange and shock
ing when put into the columns of Eng
lish newspapers" New Orleans Times

Peddler and the Quaker.

Captain Barr of the Reliance was
talking about Sir Thomas Upton. HE
is a fine sociable kind of man, and a
great story teller" said Captain Barr.
II remember one of his stories about
Quaker meeting. 1t seems that while
this meeting was in progress a clock
peddler entered with his sack of wares
and sat down in a corner, and, as the
day was warm, soon fell asleep.
while he slept, one of his clocks
began to strike. 'One,' it struck, 'twe
three, four, five and everybody had
to listen, and everybody, for some rea-
son, had to count the strokes. The
clock must have been out of order, for
it struck, altogether, no less than 800
times. Just as it was concluding the
peddler woke up.
"A stately old Quaker, in a gray suit,
turned. to him and said, smiling lit

Friend, as it is SO very late, does
thee not think that thee had better be
proceeding on thy, y?'-Boston

The Bartender,s Revenge.

Since the bar is a necessary evli-to
some folk-and is an institution OF the
state, being licensed, reference to it oc-
casionally must be excused. There are
some very clever men behind the bar,
and once in awhile a gentleman. Tab
is usually kept on him by the metal
cash register. He feels that he is
watched at all hours by a maze of pat
ented machinery. If he steals check
of Is cents he is caught, you may say.
Not at all! The other day in fashion

pous, "called down. one of his men be-
fore some customers. AS to the ques-
ton of right or wrong l say nothing.
But presently, when Signor Pomposity
turned his back, the bar man emptied a
full bottle of the finest whisky into the
washing trough under the bar. 1t was
worth at least $3.50. That was his way
Of getting even. am informed that it
is the usual way of resenting an insult
from the proprietor. The mere stealing
Of Is cents is a small matter when the

John Bright's account of how he
and Richard Golden came to join
forces against the corn laws early in
the last century is as follows: II was
in the depths of grief, might also say
of despair, for the light and sunshine
of my house had been extinguished.
All that was left on earth of my life
and of too brief happiness was lying
still and cold in the chamber above us.
Mr.. Golden called upon me, and, hav-
ing expressed words of coincidence,
said: There are thousands of houses
in England at this moment where
wives, mothers and children are dying
of hunger. Now, when the first parox-
ysm of your grief is past l would adj
wise you to come with me and we will
never rest till the corn law is repealed
The offer was accepted and the work
was DONE"

AS long as there remains the love OF
beauty in the human soul so long will
the glory of California scenery and
that of the whole Pacific coast prove
a source Of inspiration to the poetic
mind. Descriptive verse has beer
from the beginning a marked feature
of the literature of this region. In fact.
the term Landscape poets may Is
properly applied to this bevy of sonS
birds which seemed to the late ,Mauric'.
Thompson to have taken complies
possession of the entire western sea-
board" Suffice it to say that if vol
ume of verse were written by Cali
fornian which reflected nothing of tie
states scenic beauty or it's warmth Of
color it would not only come as sur
prise to most reviewers, but the loyalty
of the poet might be seriously ques-
toned. While all this display of loca'
color may seem too apparent an effort
on the part of Californians to place up
on their work the stamp Of definite
locality, and may be considered by
some cheap form of art, it is this very
sensitiveness to beauty and grandeur
with which nature has clothed the west
that offers the most promise OF its
rapid literary advancement-a sens1-
tiveness, moreover, that will become
more and more acute with the cultiva-
ton of the higher faculties through in
creasing educational growth.-Herbert
Bashford in Atlantic.

Goats That Fight.

A species of the wild goat, the Capra
ruppeli, haunts the rocks of the Abys-
sinian highlands and manages to hold
it's own as to fight against all enemies,
with the exception Of the fleet footed
jackal. an adversary whose co-opera-
tive tactics and keenness of scent make
flight unavailing and have led the ca
pras to the conclusion that under GER
tain circumstances valor may be the
better part of discretion. The yelp Of
an approaching horde of jackals is
therefore a signal for instant rally on
the part of the goats. The nannles
crowd around their kids, and the bucks
rush forward en- masse, butting away
with a rage that lays out yelper at
every spring and makes the survivors
stand back bowling and covering.

Southern Fruit and
Vegetable Growing.

The fertile lands along the
Louisville & Nashville r. r. in
Alabama, West Florida and Missis-
s1ppi are veritable bonanzas for the
fruit grower and truck gardener.
One man sold from one single acre,
100 barrels of radisbes for $4,000,
gross; another patch of 4 acres
radishes yielded s., 463.00, net. In
the spring of 1902, another truck
gardener sold 300 barrels of
potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres
of ground for ST. ,548, and after pay
ing all expenses, cleared $4,000,
or $297.22 per acre. Within two
weeks after selling his potatoes,
corn was up and watermelon vines
were running on the same land.
He harvested his corn, sold his
melons, and afterwards cut two
crops of hay off Of the same land,
and on January 20, 1908, was plant
ing it again in potatoes. Straw
berries yield from $4,000 to $4,000
per acre; as high as 12,480 quarts
of luscious berries have been grown
on single acre. Address G.. A.

Grammar and Writing.

One day Julian Hawthorne was COM
plimenting a certain writer on his
wonderful facility in his handling OF
words and in his construction of SEN
fences. "You are master of phrases"
said the novelist, with twinkle, and
then added:
How Go you do it, anyhow"

'You see, 1 have forgotten all that
ever learned at school except that the
proposition governs the objective case.
To save my life / couldn't tell you the
difference between the present tense
and a predicate. / write by ear and
don't know any more about grammar
than a cockroach knows about paint
ing roses on jugs"

A Queer Floating Island.

There is a floating island in Derwent-
water, England, not far from Lodore
falls. It's travellers are restricted to al
formations between the bottom of the
lake and the surface. When moved to
retirement it sinks and remains in wa
terry seclusion for periods which vary
from few months to as long as seven
or eight years. It's existence above or
below water appears to be determined
by the presence within the island of
gases whose quantity governs its buoy
ancy. Esthwaite lake. In the same
neighborhood, boasts a not less puz-
zling but more amenable island. This
has served as a ferryboat to conduct
as many as fifteen persons at time
across the bosom of the water upon
which it rides.

come out of doors for sun bath. AS
the dog came trotting along he espied
her and pushed open the gate. The cat
ran up the steps and the dog after her,
and both slid and slipped and came
rolling down again as Mr.. Bowser rose
up and cried out at the man leaning on
the gate:
.By thunder, but if you let that dog
in here you ought to be rolled in the
roadv'
II didn't let him in,'' replied the man,
"but you needn't get huffy about 1t.
He hasn't hurt your old cat any,
"But look at the front steps!'
"And look at my dog. It'll take two
hours to get the paint off him."
If a policeman hadn't come saunter-
ing along there would have been a
grapple, but he kicked the dog and or
dered the owner to move on, and Mr..
Bowser put in the next half hour pick
ing hairs out Of the paint and smooth
ing over the tracks.
Then he went around the corner to
the paint store to get pinch of putty,
and on his way back he saw man
open the gate and walk up the steps
and ring the bell.
That man was marked for destruc-
ton. He had rung for the second
time, when he heard a great clatter
and a hoarse breathing behind him,
but before he could turn around he
was yanked backward down the steps
and mopped over the grass. He was
man who was canvassing the street
in the interest of home for old cats
and had been told that Mrs. Bowser
wouldn't give less than $40, but he
didn't stop for the subscription. He
wriggled loose while Mr.. Bowser was
trying to get better hold, and he
didn't stop to say goodby as he fed.
"Durn my hide if 1 don't dabble my
hands in human gore" gasped Mr..
Bowser as Mrs. Bowser came to the
door to ask him not to kill any one.
I'm going to paint these steps If we
have earthquakes, cyclones and cata-
clysms by the dozen, and the next
