Girl Graduate Walked Nineteen Miles.
Miss Carrie r. Swigart, a graduate
of Pomona college and member OF
the class of '06, has attained peculiar
honors. She is the champion woman
pedestrian of her school. She has out
walked many men and every woman
in the school,, says the Los Angeles
Times.
Sunday morning, to the surprise OF
her friends and the dismay of some,
Miss Swigart announced her intention
of walking to Pasadena, her home.
There were those who tried to dis
suade the intrepid young woman, but
she would have none of them.
No official time was taken and so
no record will be allowed, but Miss
Swigart walked every step,of the nine.
teen miles from Claremont to Pasa.
dena and arrived home in time for din
ner. She says she did it just to show
that four years of college life and
work need not unfit girl for physical
effort.

PHRASE OF QUEER ORIGIN.

"Moroanie Marriage" Suggests the
Mirage Of the Desert.
One OF the words having a deriva-
>tion, the significance of which is lost
upon most of those who use it is ''mor-
ganic," in the term, "a inorganic mar
riage."
Such union between a royal per-
sonage and woman of inferior rank
is not uncommon in Germany, or at
least it was not until recently. The
man gives the left hand to the woman
when the ceremony takes place. The
wife gains no rank by her union with
a man of royal blood nor do her chill
dren become princes or princesses.
They are regarded as perfectly legiti-
mate by the law, but they have no
right to the property of their father.
The origin Of the name given to
such mockeries of marriage seems to
be the optical illusions of the deserts.
The Italians call the mirages which
mock parched and weary travellers
*'fata Inorganic" that is, the decisions
Of the Morgana.

here is only one way-and< it's a

them with a stuffing machine. r.; This
machine is mounted, usually ON a

feed, a rich mixture OF milk, fat and
ground oats. Attached toathe hopper
are: flexible rubber tube and hand
pump. The farmer, at feeding time,
wheels the machine. to the house
where the chickens are confined, takes
the: birds up one by one, shoves the
end of the tube three inches down the
throat, and, pumps in food until the
crop is filed.
The chickens sQuawk and struggle.
They don't like to eat that way. In
fact, they loathe the very sight of the
machine. ~
BUT the main thing is that, thanks
to. their confinement and the hated
machine, the birds eat the greatest
possible amount Of food and take the

/ A certain village on the Roman
road to Scotland used to have a bad
reputation among; cyclists Few ever
got through it without suffering from
the attacks of a big dog (incited, it is
believed, by it's owner), which flew
viciously at passing machines and
gave the riders a very bad time.
Often enough had this dogs decease
been reported, but the story of its ulti-
mate defeat and death is graphically
told in the neighborhood.
One hot day meek-looking clergy
man stopped at a wayside inn and
begged the boniface to give him a
meal. He explained his inability to-
pay for it Ny declaring, as he was
passing through an adjacent village, q
brute of dog bounced out of house
and got under his motor. He rode it
down and killed it, and had given it's
owner all the money he possessed as
compensation.
The landlords eyes grew wide.
"Are you certain that you kilt the
dorg?' he asked.
Indeed, yes. To make sure it wac
really dead, compelled them to bury
it while was there"
