A Runaway.

Monday morning Bob Fletcher
was driving one of his new horses
on Main street, when it became
and started down the
street at full speed: Bob prob
ably saved his life by jumping
from the buggy. The horse ran
down Main St. to Pine, where it
turned going through the busi-
ness part of town. At Grant
street a negro driving Pau1ks
wagon seeing the horse tried to
stop it by putting his wagon in
the way, but the horse veered
past it, the ax1es co1liding so vio-
1ently as to turn the buggy al
most over. The horse ran on to
the vacant lot east of the City
Barber Shop where it was COM
pletely hemmed in and captured.

Pyramid of Dead Coons.

Americas, Ca, Aug. 9.-One
hundred and ten dead coons piled
in a cornfeld; the pyramid sur
mounted by the carcass of a
monster wild cat, weighing IS
pounds and measuring FIVE feet
in lenght, was the result of a
hunt waged westof Americas the
past week. The coons had been
raiding the cornfelds, destroy
ing acres Of fine corn, hence the
crusade waged against the ring
tails by three colored farmers,
Lee Daniel, John Spann and
William Minnick. The hunt took
place in. Kinchufoonee creek
swamp and ITO coons were thus
slaughtered. The wild cat had
been feasting on young pigs and
had cost the negroes not a few
young porkers. He was avicious
brute and made fine fight until
laid low by their bullets.

Fate. Tex, Sept. 21st.-Texss has
seldom, If ever, had such a profound
sensation, as that caused by the intro
duction recently Of a new remedy for
Kidney diseases. This remedy has
already been tried in thousands OF

The young lady rose gracefully,

DINNERs 10 susINEss MEN.

Heads Of Departments Remembered
in This Way by Employers.
Twenty years ago the president OF
a big company, the owner of a big
business or industry, would as soon
have thought of asking his subordi-
nate heads of departments to spend
the summer at his country home as
Of giving them a formal dinner once
or twice a year. Now the formal
dinner-giving practice is so common
that it is almost taken for granted.
The big corporations of the country
give annual dinners to heads Of de-
partments which cost thousands of
dollars. Even mercantile firms, small
in comparison, are in the habit of
meeting their chief employees around
the dining board.
There are several reasons for this
interesting development. In the first
place, Americans are learning to en-
joy the formal dinner, with its elab-
crate menu, its wine and it's speeches.
Then the capitalist has come more
and more to realize how much of his
success is due to his heads of depart
ments. Oftentimes he gives them an
interest in the concern or corporation,
and Immediately they begin to work
for the concern as well as the COM
pany. Anything that will bind them
closer to the employers interests is
not overlooked, and a dinner once in
a while is one of these.

A marvellous watch is that of which
a gentleman in Berlin is the proud

and the whole watch weighs under

But even this does not exhaust its
marvels. 1t actually has a tiny dial
TO mark the seconds, just as so many
large watches have. The hand of
this dial is less than one-sixteenth of
an inch long. 1t is a keyless watch
of the latest pattern, n the owner
would not sell it for five hundred
pounds. Probably there is no timer

Mr.. Barnes, testily-he wanted to re-

but you'd better keep the girl in the
house. Don't believe in girls going

age do?"
"She is older than you think" said
Mrs. Barnes, soothingly; 'the twins
are nineteen, and Lille says she can
do anything that Willie can"
