 The recent announcement of a new gold find in Cleburne county caused some what a furry with the press of the coun- try. from the great twelWe-page daily to the little four-page. six column weekly.
 There was nothing In the announce ment that should have aroused interest as a recent discovery. for it was not. The reported find was in the Arbacoochie district, where more than sixty years ago hundreds of miners mined gold pro- fitably with no better implements than

From Tid-Bits.

From Tid-Bits.
 In one of our great public schools a master, known to successive. generations of his pupils for fifty years as "Old Big gus" delighted in surprising his boys with strange sayings and doings. On one occasion, desirous of practically illus trating a question in the arithmetic les son, he said to boy:
 T am a tripe merchant and this plat form is my shop. Will you come here and buy pound of tripe? Now, begin"
 Please, I want pound of tripe," said the boy, sauntering up.
 Where's your money?" demanded Old Biggus, hoping to put the boy out Of countenance.
 Where's your tripe?'' was the ready retort; but 1t gained for It's unfortunate author for hours detention on the next holiday.

 DEATH SENTENCE Is Convicted of Treason Against

 tinue the Legal Fight.
RECEIVED VERDICT CALMLY

London, January 2s-Col. Arthur Lynch, member of parliament for Galway, was found guilty of treason today, and was sentenced to death Colonel Lynch was charged with having fought in the Boer army against England.
 The jury returned the verdict of guilty after being out but half an hour, and when the sentence was pronounced Colo mel Lynch on being asked if he had any, thing to say why the sentence of death should not be pronounced, replied:
 Thank you. I will say nothing
 In delivering sentence Justice Wills said the crime of high treason. of which the prisoner had been found guilty, was most an anachronism. No civilized com munity had yet failed to punish severely defection from loyalty, whether in the way of open warfare, or secret intrigue.
 Joined Ranks of Enemy.
 In the darkest hours of his countrys fortune, when engaged in a deadly strug- gle. Lynch joined the ranks of its foes and shed the blood of his fellow subjects. fighting for their country and sought to dethrone Great Britain from her place among the nations.
 The only palliation which could be of- fered was that 1t had been the fashion of some years to treat lightly matters of this kind, and men had been encouraged to play with sedition and toy with trea- son. The nation had treated with con- temptuous indifference speeches and acts of sedition, but 1t was one thing to talk sedition and quite different thing to bear arms in the ranks of the country's foe.
 Although formally sentenced to be hanged, Lynch's sentence will no doubt be commuted.
 Prisoner is Composed.
 During the deliberations of the jury Colonel Lynch bore himself with unfalter- ing composure, and after ne had been removed Lynch and his counsel had a conference regarding the course to be adopted in the future. Later 1t was an- nounced that no action would be taken at present. Counsel can proceed with apply ing for writ of error. but it is thought that this may be rendered unnecessary by the communication of the sentence to a short term of imprisonment, in which case it is probable that the prisoner will ac- cept the situation.
 Lynchs conviction creates a parliamen- tary vacancy in Galway, and 1t is under stood that Capt Shaw Taylor, organizer of the recent land conference, who Is now in America, will be a candidate with the approval of the various political par ties.

Una tarde, Jorge y Eugenia
estaban sentados frente a fren-
te ante la mesa del comedor de
su casa. Los dos estaban me-
lanc6licos y apenas hablaron
durante la comida.
Eugenia habia recibido mo-
mentos antes una carta de rup-
tura de su tiltimo amante, y
Jorge rabiaba por no haber en-
contrado en- Ell Hipodromo q la
mujer a quien alli esperaba.
Una y otro estaban desespe-
radios.
Despues de conner, Eugenia y
Jorge pasaron a una sala inme-
data, sc sentaron y Sc miraron
m1tuamente en- el fondo del al
ma, como 81 trataran de salvarse
de un naufragio, en- medic de la
profunda tristeza que les ago
biaba.
Y, de pronto, Jorge tomo la
palabra y dijo:

MIA, que nos estamoS destrozan-
de m1tuamente el corazon y
nos devolvemos herida por he
rida, procurando continuar una

-Si, un desarme con todas las
