WNOt That Sort.O

A good story is told of one Of the
Cape Town Volunteers, says the Glas-
gov Herald. He had been at the front
for a month or two and was pretty
well tired of the endless travelling,
lack of rations, etc. So that he consid-
cred he was lucky when one day he
came across the general, who was do
ing tour of inspection.
He shouted: "Hullo, Mister! You,
I want to speak to you"
The general, turning, found he was
the Mister" so politely hailed.
well, my man. he said, what do
you want with me?"
81 want to get a furlough, mister,
that's what 1 want" was the reply.
why do you want furlough, my
MANI" inquired the general.
''Well, I want to go home and see
my wife,
''How long is it since you saw her?"
Ever since 1 enlisted, nearly three
months ago."
"Three months!" exclaimed the COM
mander. why, my good fellow, 1
have not seen my wife for three years"
The bold hero looked incredulous,
and then drawled out:
"Oh, but you see, me and my wife
amt that sort!"

An Incident of the Meet.

The field day of the rival women's
colleges was in. progress and competi-
ton ran high, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. The score was close, with the
high jump in progress. Suddenly a
wild cheer broke forth from the wear
ers of the baby blue. Miss Tessie
Thistledown had just cleared the bar
in the running high jump with record
of four feet and three inches!
A moment later the tall blonde cap
tain of the rival team tapped the spec
tacled referee on her shirt-waisted arm.
Il claim a foul" she said.
"On what ground?" inquired the OFF,
cial.
"On the ground that just before this
girl reached the bar somebody in the
crowd shouted 'Mouse!' and then she
jumped and broke the record"
II did not hear the remark" said the
bloomered referee. "If / had I would
have jumped myself"

A NEW HISTORY OF THE UNITED
STATES,

SIAIESs
1t will be recalled that when Mr..
Thomas Z. Watson lectured in This
city last fall he expressed the wish
that he had the time to write a school
history of the United States Our
understanding was that the wish was
based upon his belief that much that
is found in existing school histories
has no foundation in fact. and that
practically all of them are unfair TO
the South. 1t seems that Mr. Wat
son is engaged upon a more ambitious
history of the United States than a
school history. He is writing a COM
plete history of them, and some of the
chapters of the first volume, which Is
entitled 1.-THE Life and Times of
Thomas jefferson" have been COM
pleted.
1t is unnecessary to say that the his
tory will be a good one-one that will
be eagerly read in all parts of the
country. AS a historian MIR. Watson's
reputation Is already made. His his
tory of France made him known in
Europe as a historian as well as in
this country. vt is a history that is
as entertaining as a romance, and yet
nothing of truth is sacrificed. There
is no doubt that his history of the
United States will be as popular a
work as that was and is.
We had hoped, however, that he
would write a school history of the
United States-a history that is very
much needed, particularly in the
South. There is great complaint that
in the existing school histories the
South is not dealt with justly. Be-
cause the larger part of the reading
public is in the North the writer's of
them seem to have felt that they were
in duty bound to try to please the peo-
pie of that section.
| Perhaps Mr.. Watson will compile a
school history from his larger work
as soon as he has the time. 1t is GER
tain that such a history would be re-
ceived with great favor. 1t is great
| ly needed, and if Mr.. Watson writes ii
he will win the lasting gratitude of his
fellow citizens in the South.

The Brooklyn Eagle publishes a
speaking cartoon on the reciprocity in
travel between the United States and
Europe. The two countries are rep
resented by two women, each passing
to the other a basket across an in
tervening space of ocean. The basket
which the United States is handing
over to Europe is filled with gold and
American tourists. In 1t are title
hunting heiresses, young swells going
to Monte Carlo to play at the tables
millionaires going abroad to spend the
dollars they have earned In this coun-
try, fashionable" preachers on their
annual three months vacations at the
expense of their congregations, etc.
In the basket which Europe has passed
to the United States is a great bag
labeled Ignorance and Pauperism, ="
around which are grouped immigrants
of undesirable classes. The cartoon
is labeled, AN Unfair Exchange"
And, indeed. 1t is. But there seems
to be no way to put a stop to it. The
immigration for the year which will
end on the last day of this month will
break all records, il is said, and the
American tourist travel to Europe
this summer is expected to be larger
than ever before

Circumstances are still much in the
habit of altering cases, says an English
Exchange. 1t is said Yorkshire So
cialist was explaining to a friend the
principles of his belief, and that he
made the statement, at the outset, that
all possessions should be shared equal
ly.
IF you had two horses" said the
friend, would you give me one?"
"Of course said the Socialist
"If you had two cows, would you DO
the same?"
"Of course I should"
We'll, suppose, now" said the friend,
slowly, that you had two pigs. Would
you give me one of them?"
"Eh! that's gettin' over near home,
said the other, slyly. "Tha knaws I've
got two pigs"

Gentlemen:
1t gives me great pleasure to en-
dorse Kalola most heartily. have
recommended it to many of my pa
irons and take it myself with most
satisfactory results. After the winter
season of stress and strain nothing re-
lieves the pallor and sallowness of
the society woman like Kalola. 1t
gives fresh impetus to the sluggish

clear skin and rosy cheeks To those
who want the best in the way of an
invigorating and health-giving aperi-
ent, Il say again, take Kalola." Num-
bers of my patrons to whom I have
recommended it say they cannot do
without it.
Yours sincerely

In Maine the farms are being parch-
ed and turned into dust beds. In
Vermont and New Hampshire the hay
crops have been ruined. In New York
the month just past was one of the
driest Mays on record, the total rain
fall being less than one-third of an
inch. Not for thirty-three years has
there been May so dry. And yet in
the Missouri Valley the floods are
playing havoc. Has forest destruction
anything to do with this inequality of
precipitation?

The Norfolk Landmark is misin-
formed in it's supposition that Savan-
nah, in her efforts to secure the cree
ton of the new Seaboard Air Line
shops at this port, has made ''unkind
cuts ut Charleston, Wilmington and
Jacksonville Savannah has only the
kindest regard for her handsome and
prosperous sisters named and would
not make an "unkind cut" at them.
All that has been said about them,
in considering the question of the prob
able removal of the Seaboard shops
from Portsmouth, is that Wilmington
and Atlanta are off on the sides, jack
sonville is too far south of the center
of the system. and Charleston is not
on the system at all. That was merely
FOR the purpose Of calling attention
to the central location of Savannah,
and can in no wise be construed as
reflection upon either of the cities.
The fact that neither is so conven-
iently located with respect to the
Seaboard's system as Savannah is GER
tainly no fault of the cities.
An odd breach of promise suit that
grew out of practical. joke was tried
in New Jersey court the other day.
The defendant was man of 2S and the
plaintiff woman of 70. 1t seems that
some frolicsome young women and men
had been teasing the plaintiff and the
defendant about each other, telling the
old woman that the young man was
madly in love with her and telling the
young man that the old woman was
anxious to marry him in order that she
might leave him her property. The
young man, Schwartz, declares he
never spoke to the woman, Mrs. Wood
hull, in his life, and never wrote to
her. Letters were produced purport-
ing to be from him to her, protesting
love and asking her to marry him. The
letters are believed to have been writ
ten by the jokers as a part of their
scheme for fun" At any rate, the
court was wise enough to overthrow
the suit and tell the old woman she
was foolish.

PROPERTY FOR
 CON 0'SULLIVAN
ON HIS WAY TO CHICAGO TO GET
 HOLDINGS WORTH s25 900.
GALL AT THE

Property peeded to Him by Poll
 .ieian Now Serving Life Term
 in Joliet for Killing 2 Contestant.
 Con o'Sullivan may not bave been telling fairy tale several days ago when he said he was leaving for Chi cago to make good his claim to valu, able property in that city.
 Yesterday it was learned that O'Sul- livan will in a short time be the pos. sessor of property on one of the prin- cipaI streets of Chicago, valued at not less than s25.0Oo.
 Before leaving Bisbee, Con said that he would soon get hold of property valued at between s1,000.00O and s1,- 50O, 900. This part of his story was away of. He is going to get less than the interest on that amount for one year.
 This property passing into the hands of O'Sullivan seems to be surrounded somewhat by mystery. Before going he showed papers that indicate that he will certainly get the property, but that it was owned by a man now serY ing term in Joliet.
 The deeds to the property were made out in the Joliet prison by for mer politician in Illinois, who is now serving a life sentence for murder. He killed a man who attempted to take the property away from him that was afterward deeded to o'Sullivan.
 Sailor" Brown yesterday received letter from O'Sullivan, in which the Iaxter says that he has reached Kan sas City. and will go on to Chicago to look after his property interests.
 The letter says that O'Sullivan has just received word from sister that it may be necessary to fight the matter in the courts. as there are other par ties who lay claim to the property, and will not give it up until forced to by the courts
 o'Sullivan is well known in these parts. He has for the past six years spent most of the time in the mining districts of this county. and several ! times owned claims that afterward be. came valuable. He is typical pros pector. and had rather be in the noun tains than in one of the fine houses in Chicago that will probably fall to his lof

CONTRACT FOR NEW LIGHTS

At a conference in the office of City Attorney Miller yesterday afternoon, a rough draft of a proposed contract between Bisbee and the Bisbee Inn provement company. for the better lighting of the citys streets, was pre- pared.
 This contract will be perfected by City Attorney Miller. and submitted to the council at the called meeting Saturday evening. Those present be- sides the city attorney. were Superin- tendent Cowan of the Bisbee Improve ment company and Aldermen Taylor and Warner of the city council
 After the meeting. City Attorney Miller was asked for a synopsis of the proposed contract between the city and the company. and made the fol lowing statement:
 The Bisbee Improvement company agrees first to build at its own expense and cost all electric light lines, lamps and everything necessary to properly light the city, as Is further provided in the contract.
 "The company agrees to place incan- descent lights of any of the following
Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-07

candle power at such places as may be designated from time Co time by the mayor and common council or any of it's officers: 16. 32 and 50. It agrees to furnish electric lights at all times between the hours of darkness and daylight of each and every day after the installation and placing of lamps.
 The company is required to fur nish at all times sufficient voltage to kep all the lights burning up to the maximum candle power. In the event of it's failure to keep them burn ing as provided in the contract. and where the failure exceeds in time at any given time one hour. the city has the right to retain out of the cost of service pro rata proportion of such cost.
 The city. on it's part, agrees to pay for such service s3 per month for each 16-candle power lamp. s7 for each 32, and s12.50 for each 50.
 The contract shall endure for two years. and in order to be binding on the city, the plant shall be installed and in operation within four months from the date of the enactment of the contract"

SULTAN PLAYS WAR FARCE.
Abdul Keeps His Army Active by Tel.

Contantinople, (via Plovdiy) May 2. What skeptical diplomatists suspect to be the most elaborate militafy farce comedy ever attempted is in progress in southeastern Europe The Turkish war office huns with activity. Large bodies of troops are in motion. Messengers are hurrying hither and thither. The telegraph wires between Constantinople and the strategic cen ters of European Turkey are laden with dispatches. The Sultan himself is perhaps the quiet parsonage of all. He remains at his post till 2 o'clock every morning receiving and sending telegrams to his military servants in Macedonia and Albania.
 Apparently oficialdom could do nothing more if war of the first mag nitnde were in progress. Yet noth' ing seems to be accomplished The Albanians continue unrepentant and menacing.

 Wife, but May Have Changed RevoI- yer from One Pocket to Another. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, before Justice Mcdonald, J. J. o'Nein will be given his hearing for an alleged assault made upon his wife Tuesday afternoon. The charge against him is assault with deadly weapon, and was made by Marshal Henderson.
 Mrs. O'Neill refuses to discuss the affair for publication. Not so with o'Neill. He was willing to talk about the matter at the jail yesterday after noon, saying;
 T am quite sure that did not threaten my wife with revolver, nor did I grab her by the throat as has been stated. may have had a re solver in my hand, but it was to change 1t from one pocket to another Such a thing as doing her any in jury never entered my mind I had no intention of hurting her, and was Surprised to hear her scream. When she did was just about 10 leave the house to go up town
 T bought the revolver at the re quest of my wife. It is a cheap affair and is made of cast iron. did not buy it for my own use, but because she wanted it.
 T had a few drinks before I weni into the house, and may have been z little excited at the time. She had been nursing her sick sister. and wal all unstrung. We were both excited at the time
 Tt only takes few drinks to afecf he. When I took them had noi eaten for several hours, and I gues. they went to my head instead of to m5 stomach.
 We have had no previous trouble and I went to the house to get my wife to go to lunch with me. She said tha she did not feel well enough, and started to go alone
 They have no right to charge ms with assault, for I had no intention whatever of doing my wife any bodily injury. can remember very wei what happened. and I an sure that did not even lay my hands on her in rude manner.
 1t will all come out at the hearini tomorrow. and then 1t win be seen tha have not created my wife wrong.

 The Grand Canyon. i No words. however pregnant. can convey a tithe of the overwhelming emotion produced by first sight of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 Even as you gaze upon the seem ingly infinite panorama, you realize the inability of your senses to grasp its awful immensity
 The canyon, or all that portion of the Kaibab and Unikaret plateaus that i have been hewn through the ages by ] the erosion of the Colorado, is about i five miles in width, falling by sharp slopes and precipitous escarpments to the rim of the canyon proper. whence it is a sheer drop of 2,000 feet to where, far below in the shadows. the river rusheS with its tribute from the chill Rockies to the sun-bathed Cali fornian gulf.
 As you gaze out across its intermin- able vista of towering crags and the gloomy hollows between, or drop your eyes to the fearful abyss beneath, you seem to have left all things measured by earthly proportion, to be swung between the spheres, gazing upon some colossal forum of the giant gods of my thoiogy.
 In it's picture of eocene upheaval, of volcanic lift and modern ages of erod- ing force, you may read the tale of the worlds building, and receive glimpse down the corridors of eternity. One who has looked upon the pro | fundity of this microcosm of the uni verse may say that he knows God is, i for he has seen the print of the Al mighty fingers upon the foundations of the world
