which they were doing at the Rialto on
August 4, 1908, the day Of wonders in
their simple life.
Has the count taken coffee?" asked
the bishop.
We'll, to tell the truth, no, because
the business was urgent, and have
come straight from the railway station" /"
the guest replied.
No excuse availed, and Mgr. Sarto
rose and went into the kitchen. So the
bishop of ducal Mantua and his guest
might have been seen there talking and
laughing, while monsignor coaxed the
charcoal with black kitchen fan, the
coffee fixed in tin pot on the range.
and the count got out cups and saucers,
in order to save his distinguished host
what menial service he could. Then
they had coffee together at the kitchen
table.

WERE ENEMIES, ARE cHUMs
Two Neighbors, on Anything But Cor
dial Relations, Forgot Conven-
tionalities at a Fire.

1T is curious how fire will make
people forget convenuonalities," said
IN M street woman to a Washington
Post reporter. For two years I've
lived where I live now, and I've never
made the acquaintance of my next-door
neighbor Indeed, what with the birds
she Keeps and my pet cat, we've gone
beyond being mere strangers, and have
become almost open enemies We've
looked the other way when we chanced
to meet, and the atmosphere has been
anything but cordial.
The night of the fire at the church
near us | flew to the window at the
first sound of the engines. | couldn't
persuade my husband to put on his
coat and go with me, so, as fires have
a perfectly irresistible fascination for
me, / dashed out alone. Almost the
first person | saw was an intoxicated
negro, and l simply reached out ami
took hold of a strange woman's arm.
She was alone in the crowd, as | was,
and we clung together Tor support for
a half hour or so. We talked as If
we'd known each other always, and it
wasn't until | was chilled enough to
think Of going home that l really
looked at the woman's face. 1t was my
neXt-door neighbor, and we both
laughed when each recognized the
other.
1--WE went off home like old cronies,
and had a cup of hot tea together be-
fore We parted. like her immensely,
and hope she likes me. We've been
marketing together twice, and once
to the matinee We're going to be
chums, and if there hadn't been fire
in the neighborhood, l suppose we'd
have gone on forever detesung each
other"

the sledge was firmly planted where

A shabbily dressed elderly man hap

efforts of the poor animals two or
three minutes.
Come, boys" he finally shouted,
Tets help 'em out"
Whereat half dozen men who were
passing and who heard the words in

sledge and tried their best, with the
aid Of the horses, to start the outfit.
But 1t did not bulge.

CITIZENSHIP OF INDIANS.
Legal Status of Claimants to Rights
in Choctaw and Chickasaw
Tribes.

The Choctaw and Chickasaw citizen
ship court, created in the summer Of
1902, to pass upon the rights of court
claimants to citizenship in those ma
tions, and which has been in session
since October of that year, has rendered
its first final decision on the merits of
the cases before them. The court holds,
according to the Kansas City Journal,
that an intermarried citizen could not
marry out Of the tribe The Choctaw
council passed law that when man,
on the death Of his Indian wife, mar
ried white woman he forfeited the
rights of citizenship. The citizenship
court holds that this would violate the
treaty Of 1866, something the Choctaw
council would object to.
The court has not yet admitted any
white children of such marriages,
though 300 are seeking admission. Nor
has the court admitted any of the
claimants who seek admission on the
claim Of possessing Indian blood, three
cases, involving 40 persons, having
been rejected. Eight intermarried cfti-
zens have been admitted.

UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE.
Millionaire Wanted Cash After Bank
ing Hours-Time Locks Wouldn't
Yield to Even His Credit.

A well known millionaire hastily en-
tered few days ago the bank where he
Rarried large deposit, says the New
York Evening Post. He had left his
pocketbook home and wanted cash. The
bank was sorry, but could not accom-
modate him. 1t was past four O'Clock,
the vaults were closed and the executive
STAFF had gone home.
The subordinate officers held a quick
council, and one of them thus described
the result:
I'VE piled up every cent we had in our
clothes, then we went through the clerks
and had every man in the establishment
turn his pockets inside out. The GUS
toner was many times millionaire, and
could secure from us any day whatever
sum he needed But The time locks were
set, and the best we could do was $50
in cash. He stuffed the roll in his pock-
ct and hurriedly went on his way. We
did not even ask for a memorandum,
knowing that he detested details, and
that a subsequent word with his secre-
tary was all that would be needed to
reimburse the bank"
The incident may be taken as illus
traung. first, the limit which is drawn
in the control of banks by great fnan-
ciers, of which so much has been late
ly heard; second, the advisability Of
presenting checks before three p. m,
and. third, the absorbing power OF great
wealth and credit over the surplus cash

SAW A BURNING MOUNTAIN
Landslide from Top Of Hill Made
Shale Red Hot-Smoke Issued
from Ground.

A party Of biologists recently made
an interesting find in the Arbuckls
mountains. They struck, says the Kan
sas city Journal. a small creek in the
mountains, followed down its course and
came finally to a place where they saw
some smoke issuing from the foot Of
tree near the creek bed, and from a
streak running up the side of a hill
When the party came opposite the
place they saw that the smoke was is
suing from the ground. Upon careful in
yestigation the following was found:
There had been a landslide from the top
OF the hill which was here like a cliff,
and ran up 200 feet or more. The cliff
was composed of a shale rock, dark.
churt-like substance. In falling this had
lodged below and piled against the side
of the cliff while the outer edge ran out
to the edge of the creek. The distance
from the cliff side to the creek bed was
nearly 100 yards. An enormous quantity
Of this shale had by a slide been placed
in the position described
From the foot of the tree smoke issued
from a creyice about two feet wide and
running about 100 yards up the slope to
the side of the cliff Another small fork
projected before It reached the cliff. The
shale on top, whence the smoke and
steam were issuing, was light in color
Upon digging down two feet or more the
shale was found to be red hot.
