 The awnings torn down were in front of Uptmoor's cigar store, Postal telegraph, Wells Fargo and Company express, Missouri Pacific uptown of- flee and ! Benning and Hattaways drug store.

Her Method of Darning.

"The worst case of henpecked man 1 ever saw" said the travelling man, "is up in my little native place among the Berkshire hills. The hen in this case is smart woman who runs a farm and keeps everything shipshapc except her husband She is content to let him get along in any old fashion. so long as he does not interfere with her work. One day he asked her apol- ogetically If she wouldn't darn at least one pair of his stockings, for every pair he owned had holes.
 "She gave him crushing glance and said, If every pair has holes, wear two pairs, and the good places in one will cover the holes in the other And she made him do it too" "-New York Press.

Mexico's Fans.

In Mexico fans were used long be- fore the conquest, and when Monte zuma heard that the Spaniards had landed and were about to visit him lie sent for goldsmlths and lapidarics and ordered, among other gifts Which were to be offered to Cortes, two feather fans ornamented with a sun and moon of highly polished gold. Like the Japa- nese and other ancient nations, the Aztecs evidently considered the fan an emblem of authority, for they general ly placed 1t in the hands of Ometeuctli, god of paradise, and of Totec, the mili- tary disciple of Quetzalcohuatl.
