peaeoeks Better Than watchdoss.

Bird fanciers are predicting vogue
for the peacock. They say that people
who can afford it have been lately
buying hundreds of them for their
country places. Ornament is one con-
sideration, but there is another thing
that recommends the brilliant creature
in a more practical way. Some one
discovered not long ago that there is
no watchdog equal to the peacock as
guardian against thieves and maraud.

an arbor or outbuilding of the estate,

Wardrobe for an Ocean Trip.

The day was. not very long ago
when the wardrobe necessary for
crossing over to England was discuss
ed with as great earnestness as to the
preparation of rousseau. Now with
a couple of business suits, heavy
coat, a soft hat and a steamer trunk
full of linen the regular traveller Is
ready for the voyage. There is always
one man who wears his evening
clothes at dinner and the curious
thing about him is that he always
looks as If he had never worn them
before. But there is usually only one
of this type, just as there is one OF
the man who appears on deck the last
day out with a silk hat.-Outing.

Fight With Negro Kidnapers.

A dispatch from Fort Smith says
the kidnapping of a young white
girl and the killing of one Of a par
ty who tried to rescue her are
crimes charged to a gang Of negroes,
who took refuge on an island in
the middle of the Arkansas river
sixteen miles west of the above city.
Two farmers who were on a hunt
landed on the island and accident
ally ran into camp where there
were two negroes and a girl about
twelve years of age The white
men made some inquiries about the
girl and the negroes stated that she
was the daughter of a white man
who was travelling with them, and
that he had gone to Fort Smith
for some groceries. The negroes
would not let the girl take part in
the conversation and this increased
the suspicious of the white men. A
watch was kept on the negroes for
two days, and, no white man APP
pearing, a party Of farmers decid-
ed to make further inyestiga-
ton. As they neared the island
the party was fired upon by the
negroes, and a sharp fight followed
in which one Of the white men, by
the name OF Roland, was killed.
During the fight the little girl es-
capped from the negroes and ran to
the white men. The girl stated
that she had been stolen from her
home near Fort Gibson. The girl
was taken to Muldrow. When news
Of the affair spread posses from Fort
