ALONG THE VIPER ORXNOCO

Nearly n thousand miles of navig-
able inland waterways of the Upper
Orinoco river in South America are
entirely u~ndisturbed by commerce, ex-
cept such as may be carried in an
occasional canoe or "lancha.' THE
iancha is simply a light scow or fat
bottomed boat, fitted with a single
mast, from which, however an enor-
nous sail can be spread" writes a
traveller. with the summer trade
winds blowing from the Atlantic, good
progress upstream Is often made, but
for the return trip the mast and sails
are slowed away and the force of the
current is depended upon, aided in
the dry season by the use OF poles
or oars. II the westerly winds have

a lancha hailing from the town of
Arauca, who informed me with no
little disgust, that the voyage had al

Bolivar was still far distant. The
lancha, If | remember correctly, reach

that sent the Deacon spraying into
a snow drift. Lem then follered him

At last the Deacon got tired of this

around his neck and told Lem that
she didn't love nobody but him and
that when the Deacon put his arms

NEAT SWINDLE IN PICTURES

In the Paris Matin N. Hardouin, a
well-known writer and financial au
thority, thus describes an ingenious
plan to hoodwink the New York GUS
toms authorities, which he says was
carried out: There exist in Mont
martre poor devils who a turn out
R%embrandts better than Rembrandt
himself. Certain dishonest picture
dealers in Paris know this and give
orders for these Dutch masterpieces.
At the bottom of the tho
Iame of Rembrandt is placed. Ordi-
narily the dealer sells these. But IL
occurred to one of them last summer
that thGce was something better to
do with them. These are good he
said to he ragged painter who brought
them. Put your own name on them
in placa of that of Rembrandt. Why
give hi,n the credit, eh" The artist
carries off the canvases, painted out
the false name and put his in
place Of il. Then he took them back,
and the dealer bought them for a
pttifl! sum.
After a lew weeks the dealer sent
the pictures 70 his correspondent in

HIGH | f SCANDAL
TOWN OF eINGviLLE STIRRED TO
ITS DEPTHS.
Deacon 5utterworth Felt to Be the
Victim Of Unfortunate circum-
stances, but His Wife Has by no
Means Been Convinced.

There was a terrible scandal hap
pened in Bingville last Saturday night,
the news Of which flew all over town
like wildfre and since then our resi-
dents amt got nothing done but talk
about 1t with bated breath. School
was closed for a day on acct. of 1t and
SO was the p. o. Work Is at a stand
still, and the terrible recital of what
happened is on everybody's lips.
On Wednesday morning of last week
Lem Brown left Bingville for the Co.
seat, where he was drawed up to serve
on u jury. Lem understood that he
would git all through serving SO as he
could come back home Friday night
and he told his wife so. Before he
left Bingville Lem made arrangements
with Deacon Butterworth to feed his
COW and pigs while he was absent,
and look after things around the
house generally. Lem has always
been a great friend of the Deacon's,
being as they both belong to the Bling
vile church and set side by side in
the amen corner every Sunday.
We'll, the Deacon looked after things
at LENS place in good shape so far as
we can learn. Between chores the
Deacon would go into LENS house
and take off his mitts to warm his
hands at the kitchen stove, while
Mary Brown, that's LENS wife, would
give him a doughnut. mebby, or a
cookie, il she happened to be making
any. The weather was so cold that
the Deacon spent considerable Of his
time In the kitchen talking 70 Mary,
but nobody eve thought anything OF
1t, being as Mary is a terrible hand
some and agreeable III Her name
before she was married was Mary
Simpkins and she lived out the Pike
four miles west of Bingville, daughter
of old Sam Simpkins, who is dead and
gone, 10, these many years. When
Mary was a girl of Is it was said that
there wasn't a p~rettier girl In this
county than just her. She was the
belle of Bingville. And since we come
to think Of it, this amt been such a
long time ago and So far as we are
able to see, Mary amt changed much
since. Personally, we think she is
now better looking than ever. And so
nobody blamed Deacon B~utterworth
for spending probably a leetle mite
more time in the kitchen than was
necessary, although he Is a married
man hisself.
Well, Friday night come and went
and Door Lem Brown didn't come back
from the Co. seat, and there was no
word from him. When Lem didn't
turn up Friday evening, when he said
he would, Mary begin to get awful
restless and Uneasy and when the Dea.
con come around to do the feeding
the next morning she invited him INFO
the house and told him her worst
