Past Reconciliation.

In the days of the first settlers in the
Chickasaw country, when Davy Crock
EFT still frequented the Big Hatchie,
"Old Man Giddins" was a prosperous
citizen of the Forked Deer settlement.
One day he started on a trip to Ar
kansas, and thenceforth for severa.
years Forked Deer knew him no more.
AS travel in Arkansas was dangerous
and as nothing was heard Of Giddins,
he was officially declared dead by the
court and his estate divided among his
heirs. A year or SO later, however, he
turned up and tried to get possession
Of his property again. He was prompt
~ seized and taken into court.
what do you mean by coming
around here and trying to take this
property" roared the court at him.
tits my property" asserted Giddins.
Everybody knows it's mine."
"Not at ALL" replied the Judge. .I'll
admit your case seems a hard one, but
it can't be helped now. This court has
decided that you are extinctus de-
functus, which is Latin for dead. This
court cannot err. Dead you are. If
you want any property around here
you must take another name and set to
work to earn it. Mr.. Sheriff, adjourn
this court, and we will go and see that
wrestling match you spoke Of"

A story of victor Hugo.

Victor Hugo, as is we'll known, was
q man of exceeding vanity. He had a
sense Of his own Importance which
often manifested itself in ridiculous
ways. During the siege of Paris in
1871 number of political and literary
men were dining one evening at his
house. The conversation turned on
the horrors Of the siege, and the men,
bers Of the party gave their respective
ideas as to the best means of terminal
ing it. Suddenly Victor Hugo had an
inspiration. II know how to do it," he
said, with such conviction that every
one was filed with hope and expecta-
ton.

Victor Hugo, dressed in my national
costume, will 60 forth all alone, I'M
armed, and meet the bullets of the
enemy. shall be killed. and the siege

cover for you" irreverently inter-
rupted one Of the company.
Victor Hugo's brow took on an
Olympian frown. Never again did the
unhappy interrupter receive an invita-
ton to the table Of the poet.-Harper's
Weekly.

Waterproof Foliage.

An oriental scholar was. giving an
address on the philosophy and religion
OF the east. His English was of good
quality, only now and then becoming
Interesting from the humorous point of
view when he attempted colloquial
idioms. After describing with fervor
the sage-the one who can walk amid
the difficulties and perplexities of NOR
tai existence and yet. unaffected by
these, retain his perfect serenity-the
speaker was looking about for some ia
miliar comparison by which to bring
home the idea to his hearers.
"Ah, have it!' he said, pleased at
the recollection that rewarded his ef-
fort. ut Is an expressive saying of
your own language, said to me by a
lady with whom l was last evening
conversing. Take that familiar bird,
the duck. 1t is possible to pour a
bucketful Of water upon that duck, and
yet the water can never get into his
leaves" New York Press.

CsuatEy Life In Italy In the Days

Travellers III old time Italy had d

US another phase Of country life, that
Of travel in the days of the renais-
sance. AS we watch the long cavalcade
which winds round the steep mountain
path we are carried back to the time
when wheeled carriages were almost
unknown, for, indeed, there were but
few roads on which they would have,
been possible. The only highway be.
tween one city and another was often
little more than rough bride path,
quagmire of mud in winter, and, pass
Ing through a tangled thicket here and
there, a hiding place for outlaws and
wild beasts. There was no choice but
to ride on horseback, save on state oc-
casiOns, when great lady might be

eve have many accounts of travel
In those days, for journey was a Sc
rious matter, not to be lightly under
taken or easily forgotten. Thus, when
the Duchess Beatrice of Milan went on
q diplomatic mission to Venice and
wished to make good impression on
the senate we are told that she had
fifty mules in her train, laden with her
costly dresses. Of another princess,
Blanca SforZa, on her way to marry
the Emperor Macmillan, we have a
pitiful account of her journey, from the
pen of her secretary She started from
Milan at the end of November, to be
nearly shipwrecked in sudden storm
on the Lake of Como; then, with end
less hardships of tempestuous, wintry
weather, she rode across that fearful
cruel mountain the Stelvio pass, one
hapless lady i'll waiting having to be
left behind at Gravedona! Not until
Christmas eve did Blanca at last reach
Innsbruck.
again, we have the famous journey
of Lucrezia Borgia across Italy, from
Rome to Ferrara, with an immense
retinue of nearly 1000 persons, which
took twenty-five days in the depth of
winter. If we had CHANGED to meet
them on the way, with their splendid
dresses and gaudily caparisoned horses
with dwarfs and testers to beguile the
way and a company of trumpeters,
drums and hautboys to make martial
music, we might have mistaken it fo1
a travelling circus thus noisily parading
through the land.''

"AcQuIRED TASTES"
The Story of a Love Affair, a Dime
Speech and a Duel.

enc story OF q Love Ana1r, q Dinner
Speech and Duel.
He and her father were great friends.
AS only four persons figure in this
story it is unnecessary to mention
names. He had rival for her affec-
lions, and her father could never under
stand why she preferred the rival to
him. One day when he sat on the porch
chatting with her father she called him
into the parlor and told him frankly
that she had promised to marry his
rival. He did not plead or beg. He
kissed her hand with sort of rever-
ence and then returned to his seat Oh
the porch and renewed the conversa-
ton with her father. In those few mo-
ments everything seemed to have
changed for him. The sun did not
shine as brightly; the birds did not
sing as they did before. Even the grass
and trees seemed scar and dead. He
had expected what he had just heard,
but that did not seem to abate the
shock He was distract and moody.
Her father saw this and asked him the
cause. He blurted 6dt the whole miser-
able truth. Her father continued to
polish his glasses carefully and then
said:
"Wimmen folks is mighty onsartin
critters" Her father said nothing
more, but nothing would change her
mind. Gradually it came to be gener-

her wedding. No one ever heard him
complain, though all knew how he suf-
fered. He was looked upon as the ORA
tor Of his class, and a great speech was
expected. When he arose sinister
glitter could lie seen in his eye. He be-
gan to speak slowly. He took as his
text Acquired Tastes" He spoke at
length. Finally he said:
Il called upon a dear friend some
time ago who had just had daughter
married. He felt his loss very keenly.
I tried to console him, telling him that
while he had lost daughter lie had
gained son. He said slowly to me:

st. Maurice.

st. Maurice, in Switzerland, is the
name of little station on the railway
that leads up the Rhone valley from
the lake of Geneva. The place gets its
name as follows: Maurice was the Off
Ger second in command of the Thebaic
legion, which the Emperor Maximian
marched over the Alps in A. D. 3O2 to
quell a rising in Gaul. At Octodurum
(Martigny) the legion, every man of
which was Christian, was ordered to
sacrifice to the Roman gods for the
success of the expedition. Headed by
Maurice. they refused, marched off to
Agaunum (St. Maurice) and there were
twice decimated to enforce submission.
But they still refused, and finally the
remainder were surrounded and cut
down by the rest of the army.

and 10 men, The house is to be Of the
latest design. The equipment has all
been purchased this year and is now
here ready for use as soon as the house
is prepared for occupancy.
The construction Of this station has
been made absolutely necessary by
reason Of the fact that the city has ac-
quired property between Tenth and

comparative statement OF last year for
the same number OF months.
There is one item that special at
tention should be called to- It Is with
reference to the horse feed account.
This years report shows biz Increase
over that OF 1904, The reason Is that
all the horse feed for this yoar and for
next year was purchased In 1905. This
feed is not only for the fire department
but for all other city departments as
well. This shows the difference In the
statement by purchasing the grain
for other departments the city is saved

tail prices. Heretofore the other de-
partments have purchased feed as re-

really a big saving IN this account
During the present year there have
been additions to the department In
men and equipment. Six additional
firemen have been employed. Station

This was done at cost OF $4,000. The

There Is also u big hay room and a

A change made by Chief Bywater
which greatly benefits the men is that
