Crowley's Band.

An Opelousian who wants a band there,
in order to get that city to purchase
some instruments, says:
II am told that the town of Crowley
bought the instruments, and is paying
the instructor, for it's band"
He ia wrong. Charlie Crippen took
up a subscription for the purchase of
band instruments, and private citizens
put up the cash. One instrument has
been carried off by the man who played
it, and who left Crowley between days.
As far as the News knows Crowley

Better Than Birthday Party.

The 10-year-old daughter of a subur-
ban banker entertained a host of her
little friends yesterday afternoon. 1t
was one of the most elaborate chill
dren's parties that ever took place in
the suburb. Two of the little chill
dren were standing near the street
when citizen of the town passed.
The citizen stopped to watch the chill
dren playing in the yard and began to
question the little girl near him about
the party.
"Is this Nellie's birthday party?" he
asked.
"Oh. no, SIR" replied the girl; at
isn't birthday party. Better than a
birthday party"
What is the occasion of the party
them" continued the citizen.
"Oh, Nellie was operated on for ap-
pendicitis at the hospital year ago
to-day and she's celebrating that"
And therein originated the first ap-
pendicitis party. The citizen laughed
heartily as he walked down the street
and wondered how long it would be
before society will be all agog with
appendicitis celebrations. - Chicago

Crew of Wrecked French Bark
Has an Experience Somewhat
Similar to That of the Swiss
Family Robinson"

A close parallel to some &c the ad
ventures recorded in Swiss Family
Robinson is furnished by the expert
ences of the crew of the wrecked
French vessel Anjou. The survivors
arrived in Marsoilles the other day.
The Anjou, with a crew of twenty-five
and a cargo of corn, left Sydney on
Jan. 20 for Falmouth and was over
taken by a tempest, which DRIVE it
on TIE rocks. For an entire night the
crew remained on the sinking ship,
at the mercy of the waves. and when
morning came they found that tEey
We're within few hundred yards of
land, but towering above thcm was a
huge cliff The crew embarked in
three of the ships boats. The ships
cat at the last moment jumped into
one of the boats and a few minutes
later the Anjou settled and sunk.
For hours the wrecked men searched
for an inlet. while their frail boats
were flung hither and thither by the
huge seas. Toward night they eff
fected a landing on the island.
On exploring the island the marin
ers found shelter containing a
small store of food-one of those
