A Pretty Good Burr0 Yarn.

A burro belonging to A. NJ. Nagle and
T. w. Noble, of this city fell SO far in
two minutes that it took ten hours to get
him back again, says Los Angeles cor
respondent of The Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Nagle and Noble were traversing an
old abandoned trail in the mountains in
the Lytle creek region, when the trail be-
came blind" owing to erosion caused
by the winter rains. They persisted in
their attempt to get over the bad stretch
of road and had nearly succeeded, when
their burro, upon which was loaded their
camp outfit, slipped and went headlong
over the precipice, and landed in live
oak tree 100 feet below.
The animal, apparently stunned by the
fall, remained quiet till they got down to
him, when he began kicking. This dis
lodged him from his position in the tree
and he fell to the ground, twenty feet be-
low, none the worse for his fall.
1t took the men all day to cut a trail
and get the burro out of the canyon.

What He Knew About Texas.

A Texan while visiting in another
State was asked to tell in speech what
he knew about Texas, and he responded
"Texas is a whopper. She's peach
She's the widest and the broadest and
the longest country on earth, ex'
tending from East to West and also
from North to South She could put
Rhode Island in her vest pocket. She
could swallow three or four States like
Maryland and Vermont and wash them
down by drinking the Mississippi river
dry, and could digest them without even
having the collie Texas is the Empire
State of the union without any Kaiser
Bill for an emperor. She's the chiefest
among ten thousand and altogether lively
wild and reckless. She's the pebble on
the beach. She's one of the old blue hens
chickens. She's the cock Of the walk and
the Democrat of the world. She's the
wolf and it is her day to howl.
"Texas is bounded on the ast Eby the

berry thickets of Arkansas. She is bound
ed Oh the North by the tomahawk and
the war whoop of the Red Men. She is
bounded ontheW by the chile con carne
of New Mexico and the hot tamales OF
old Mexico. She is bounded on the South

would extend beyond the South pole. As

ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
Three Masked Men Use Dynamite on
the Safe of the Bank at McCOll,
Marlboro County.

Az ot AuSAo
BENNETTsvILLE, Oct. .21 Last night all
unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the
Bank Of McColl. Late in the night three
masked men went to the telephone ex-
change and were admitted to the office
on pretense Of wanting to send an urgent
message for doctor. When the door
was opened they. seized the operator
Eugene Hood, a young boy, tied him and
carried him with them to the bank. The
door of the bank building was forced open
and the vault door blown open with dyna'
mite. They then went to work in the
safe with chisels, drills, and dynamite and
succeeded in blowing off the front door
and top of the safe, expoing the upper
vault, which contained number OF papers
and So or "a dollars in silver. The inne1
vault, which contained the money, has
patent burglar proof screw door and
would not yield to the cunning tools and
powerful explosives. After working till
nearly day they abandoned the undertak'
ing. Before leaving they put young Hood
in the vault and closed the door. He was
tied so that he could not release himself
and remained in the vault till the officers
of the bank went down to open up fol
business this morning.
There is no clue to the identity of the
burglars. Only few months ago the
post office at McColl was robbed of sever
alhundred dollars.

GIRLS WANTED.
A Winchester Cashier Will Honor u
Draft for q Carload.

WINCHESTER, VA, October 18.-Mr. j..
Few Brown, assistant cashier of the Shen-
andoah Valley National Bank, this city,
has received letter from Mr.. A. B. Hod-
sell, of Buckeye, Ariz., asking Mr.. Brown
in all seriousness if he cannot send car
load of Winchester girls to Buckeye,
where thrifty and industrious husbands
will be provided for them at once. MIR.
Hodsell says there are practically no wo-
men in this section, and the young farm
ers there, while thrifty and prosperous.
are unhappy because they cannot get wiv-
wives Mr. Hodsell says thattheyoung men
of Arizona are not particular as to age,
looks or other qualifications, and guaran-
tees that he will find good husbands for a
carload of eastern females within "a hours
after their arrival in Arizona.
Mr.. Brown has already received several
applications from young women who de-
sire to become the wives of the western
farmers, and while the matter was at
first treated as joke, it is probable that
a number of women will go from this
section in the near future.

JUDGE ATTACKS LAW.
Georgia Judge Declares his Opposi-
tiOn to Educating Negroes.

Georgia Judge Declares his Opposi.
tiOn to Educating Negroes.
Judge William T. Gary, of the Rich
mond county superior court, created quite
a sensation this morning in charging the
grand jury by eloquently attacking the
State law that allows a negro to be a bene-
fciary of the school tax money paid to
the counties and State by white citizens.
Judge Gary declared that he doubted
the wisdom of these laws. He doubted if
they were justice to the white people.
He declared that as the law is now the
| negro is being fitted for stations in life
to which he cannot aspire with any hope
of filling and never can while the white
race is supreme in the South. On
Che other hand, he is being untitled
for the walks of life that are open to him
as laborer, servant, and field-hand Judge
Gary declared the negro is being made
dissatisfied, discontented and at war with
life.
Judge Gary declared that in his knowl-
edge Confederate veterans who are hard
ly able to care for their own children and
home are forced to see part of the mite
of taxes they pay to the State go to the
education of the negro. AS a remedy for
the evil, Judge Gary suggested the crea-
tion of public sentiment that would lead
to the repeal of the present law. Judge
Gary declared that the time is ripe for
the agitation which will lead to such
sentiment in the South Morality, his
honor declared, did not come from educa-
tion, neither could it be legislated into
the human heart The church and the
home was the place where it could be
successfully taught.

INSOLENT PULLMAN PORTER.

Passengers Put Him Or Train in
Georgia.
A special from Brunswick, Ga, Thurs
day, October 90, says:
Because of his insOlencc to lady from
Spartanburg, S. c., a negro Pullman car
porter was put off train No. IA of the
Southern railway in the woods yesterday.
He was left there to mediate how much
better it is for negro to be polite even
if he is in the uniform of the Pullmans.
The negro spoke to the lady something
about transferring to another train. She
did not understand him and asked him to
repeat what he had said. He did it very
insolently.
George H. Smith, treasurer of the city
of Brunswick, was on the train, and, OBJ
serving the manner in which the negro
spoke to the lady, gave him a thrashing.
The porter appealed to Conductor Ten
gale, but got little sympathy. AS soon
as the conductor heard how the negro
had acted he stopped the train and hus-
tied the insolent darkey off, He would not
let him stop to even change his uniform
The negro who was taught a lesson in
manners is from Milwaukee.
