which has just been issued as a Blue

for public works in Egypt, makes GER
tain farreaching proposals involving
vast engineering works. The chief Of
these is a two-hundred mile long
channel from Bpr to the Sobat: and
he likewise suggests some plan Of con-
troll by barrage at the Ripon falls
below the Victoria Nyanza. He fur

probably be five million four hundred

A Talking Book.

This is an interesting novelty, +"
said a dealer in toys.
He opened q child's picture book
to the picture of a COW, and at the
same time he pulled a slender silk
cord. The cows mouth opened and
a sonorous Moo" was given forth.
A cock was on the next page, and
when his cord was pulled he tapped
his wings and cried "Cock-a-doodle-
dooi'
And thus the dealer, turning the
pages, showed lions that ruffied their
names and roared, dogs that stood on
their hind legs and barked, cats that
arched their backs and meOwed,
snakes that wriggled and Kissed, and
children that turned their heads from
size to side and said Papa" and
Mamma"
The dealer said the book came from
Paris. There was bellows inside
each picture that on being COM
pressed by the silk cord, caused the
proper sound to issue forth.
This is fine book for child to
have" he said. Unfortunately,
though, II is too expensive for any but
rich children"

BUFFALO CHASED MOTOR CYCLE.
Sportsman in India Had Narrow Es-
cape from Infatuated Beast.

An enthusiastic motor cyclist in In
dia. to escape the heat of Bombay,
rode his machine up to Khandalla. 1t
is a seyenty-odd mile run and the
road, until the foot Of the CHATS is
reached, is perfectly fat Upon the
stiffest gradient he overlook a herd
of water buffalo. Hardly had he gone
a yard in front Of the animals when
one Of them took offense at the smell
OF the gasoline, or regarded the la
bored ''tuff-tuff' of the engine as a
challenge to mortal combat II gave
grunt, lowered its head and charged
heavily upon the intruder. The road
was more than steep. II was dan
gerous. On the right hand lowered a
cliff. on the left there was a drop Of
nearly 1000 feet on to the tops of the
trees in the valley below. The lum-
bering beast gained rapidly. Luckily,
the rider carried a revolver. He drew
# and fired back over his shoulder.
The first shot missed, the second
passed along the animals side With
roar Of pain the huge beast started
aside, slipped on the edge Of the
"khud" and the next minute crashed
down on the tree tops below.

No Carriages for Them.

A party of children going on fresh
air excursion to the country left the
train at a fashionable New York sub
urban summer resort. From there
they were to drive several miles to
the farm house where they were TO
spend their holiday.
They arrived at the station late in
the afternoon on the same train with
many of the summer residents. One
boy ahead of the others caught sight
of the splendid looking carriages and
prancing horses there to meet their
various owners.
Come ahead, boys, he called to the
others, they've sent a carriage Tor
each of us. and I'm going to have the
one with the fellow in the purple
clothes"
He was much disappointed when
he. with fifteen or twenty other chill
dren. was packed into the waiting
farm wagon.

Word Said to Have No Real Meaning
Without Defining Adjective.
Five kinds of day are recognized.
and II has been said that the word
day" has no real meaning without an
adjective defining what kind of a day
is meant. There is a civil day, the
astronomical day. the apparent solar
day, the mean solar day, and the sid
ereal day. The civil day begins at the
midnight preceding mean noon, and
consists Of twenty-four hours counted
after twelve o'clock; the astronomical
day begins twelve hours after the civil
day, or at the mean noon Of the cor

self-Protection.


Representative John Sharp Will
lisms Of Mississippi tells of a suit
that was brought before a Judge Rob
lnson in that state. 1t was but a short
while after the beginning of the pro-
ceedings that the judge made I'D his
mind concerning the judgment to be
rendered, and accordingly he informed
the counsel for the prosecution that
further argument was unnecessary.
Notwithstanding this the attorney
continued to argue. Without the least
show of Impotence the judge politely
reiterated his desire that the proceed
ings come to an end. But again his
word was unheeded.
Finally Judge Robinson called out
to the sheriff to come to his desk.
Sheriff" said he, have we any cot
ton hereabout?"
The sheriff. concealing his surprise
at this unjudicial request, replied
that he thought there were several
bales not far on Then, complying
with the instructions of Judge Robin
son, he left the court house, shortly
to return with a handful of the sta
pie desired. OF this the judge took
two wads, which he stuffed in his ears,
and, bending his eyes upon the legal
papers beside him, calmly remarked
to the offending counsel:

THREE MEN MARRY SISTERS.
Union Pacific Engineers Will Hold
Unique Christmas Reunion.

The families of George, John and
William Hockenberger, and their re-
spective wives. who were formerly
Bertha, Ida and Minnie Koch. are
worthy to be added to the list of those
who will hold notable Christmas re-
unions. says the Denver News.
These three brothers married three
sisters. They have all been married
for more than twenty years, and dur
lived side by side, at 1857, 2941 and
2949 Lafayette street.
On the 29th of last month this re-
markable family gathered under the
roof of John Hockenberger to cele-
brate the silver wedding anniversary
of himself and wife.
At that happy affair were gathered
the mother of the Hockenberger
"boys"-for they are, every one, still
young in spirit, and two other broth
ers, Frank and Frederick, who mar
lives in Denver and Frederick in Como.
Still another feature about this most
peculiar family is, that they are all
railroad men, and with the single ex-
cepuon of Frederick are working at
the same trade. George, John and
William are engineers on the Union
Pacific Frank Hockenberger is an en-
g1neer on the Rio Grande. while Fred
erick is a master mechanic at Como,
working for the Colorado & Southern.
The Christmas reunion of the Hook
enberger family will be held at the
pretty home of George Hockenberger,
and from grandmother to grand
daughter they will join heartily in the
Christmas cheer. The family ties, al
ready woven and interviewer. will be
drawn tighter than ever before.

The Santa Fee Bond Issue.

No part of the common stock of the
santa F'e to be authorized in connec-

900 convertible bonds is to be sold.
The shares will remain in the treasury
for purely conversion purposes. In an
official statement issued in connection
with the call for the meeting of stock
holders to act on the proposed issue
appears the following:
1.-THE condition of the properties is
now better than at any time since re-
organization, and, as pointed out in the
annual report, the aggregate undivided
surplus net income since reorganization
of the company has been in excess Of
the cost of all betterments and i'm
provements of existing property, and
all discount on bonds sold.
1.-The directors believe that the sur
plus net income will continue to be in
excess of the cost>of all ordinary bet
terments and improvem tents; but addi-
tional capital is needed for construc-
ton purposes and for the acquisition
of additional facilities in order to de-
velop fully the earning capacity of the
system and to enable it to meet the re-
quirements of the growing territory
through which it extends. While the
directors desire to avoid any unneces-
sary extension of the system, which al
ready is large, they are convinced that
its condition cannot remain stationary,
and that growth commensurate with
the development of the country is
necessary to insure permanent pros
perity.''
