The Preacher Got His Coat.

This lively account Of a. social func-
ton at Pawpaw, No, comes from d
local paper: The ladies' Of the Meth
odlst Episcopal church had a fine time
at Mrs. Sinks house. which was a nice
thing in every way. It was an ice
cream sociable to buy the pastor an
overcoat, so that he may plod along
this winter without freezing his weary
bones. The ladies served the cream,
but Deacon Daley was in charge. BE
hoggish, folks he called now and
then. Eat all you can crowd in, SOS
the preacher can be warm this WIN
ter Many young fellows brought
their girls, and one did even worse
than that by fetching a complete jag
to the festival His name shall not
be mentioned, as he spent 80 cents for
ice cream, eating it all feryently, and
we bet it didn't go well with that
booze. But what matter? Seven dol
lars and ninety cents was realized
from the ARRAY. enough to buy Preach
er Hicks a fine coat and leave $1.90
for socks and other things"

come after us, with no heart trouble,
to be sure and make this trip. This
mountain is about :, 500 feet in height.

TERED Us from taking the trip the
first time we visited the city. as we
thought it would seem tame after cur

to be seen on this trip is Fort Mason,
and the Preside, the Golden Gate, the
city OF Berkeley, Alcateaz Island, Al

AT Sausiito you connect with the
North Shore railroad which takes you
to the base of the Mountain. Arriv-

Their Origin Is Ancient and Ans.dates
Recorded History.

Their Origin Is Ancient and Ansedates
Recorded History.
Had one leisure it would be worth
while to attempt to trace to their
very fountain head some of the
nursery rhymes and jingles and fairy
stories which have delighted genera
tions Of children.
The antiquity of what is now
mere nursery story is great and by
Disraeli the elder has been traced
back to the time when there was no
current literature whatever for the
lower classes, owing to the simple
fact that not one could read, and
the brilliant exploits of Guy of War
wick, Sir sBeVis of Hampton and
other mighty men were banded
from mouth to mouth. Songs were
made about them, and tales were
sung or quoted In one hamlet after
another among perfectly illiterate
people, remember, VINO repeated
them to their children, to be repeat
ed, with variations and additions, to
their children till "Jack the Giant
Killer" became a nursery tale and
viii probably never die.
The tale of "Whittington and
His Cat" had its origin in Genoa in
1883 and claimed to be the actual
life history of a well known Genoese.
"Puss In Boots" also came from
Genoa about the same time, and
both originally came from Persia.
"Bluebeard" is supposed to have
been drawn from our much divorced
Henry VIII, but the same tale now
holds good in France, Germany and
Denmark, as it did a few centuries
before the marrying monarch was
born.
The little hunchback Of the
arabian Nights had his counter
part in Italian in the "Ge8ta Ro-
manorum" and in every countryutn-
der the sun.
'Ladybird, Fly Away Home" is
said by the antiquary Weber to be
one of the earliest known German
nursery songs.
The beautiful story Of Level
lyn's greyhound Gelett, over whose
grave at Beth Gelert many of us
have heaved a sympathetic sigh, is
discovered by Sir William Jones to
be very old Persian tradition and
has even given rise to proverb in
that country, CAS- repentant as the
man who killed his greyhound"
It is impossible now to trace the
original source whence came Little
Red Riding Hood and ':Cinderel-
Ia" though the latter is probably Of
/ eastern origin, but it exists unmuti-
lated in very early French, German
and Danish.
One would think that tales which
have stood the test Of 1,400 years
and will never drop out Of our cur
rency must have plenty Of "back-
bone in them to survive so long

RUSSIAN BRISTLES,
they Are Said to BE the Best of All
Fer Hairbrushes.

They Are Said to BE the Best of All
Fer Hairbrushes.
The first essential Of good hair
brush is that the kristles should
really be bristles, not limitations, and
that they should be of a good kind.
Russian bristles are the best. They
are obtained from the back Of the
,-iId boar.
Russian bristles are very stiff, ia
pering III shape, about seven inches
in length and either black or white.
These are the longest and 8tiffest of
all. Only the butt end is used for
hairbrushes, and the other end,
known as the ''fag, y is employed for
making painting and decorating
brushes. The flag tapers very thin
and ends in several sprouts, so that
it makes a very soft and flexible
brush. The butt end Of the Russian
bristle may be recognized by its
thickness, for no other bristle has
so large a diameter.
The next best variety is the Chi
nese and is sent from Tientsin. It
is black bristle about five and d
half inches in length and less stiff
than the Russian. It is not so dura-
Die as this latter, but in other re-
8pects it is not far behind.
German bristles vary in length
and quality. They are black, white
and brown, and the length ranges
from six inches to a mere stump Of
an inch or so. The white are re-
garded as the best of all these Ger
man varieties and consequently fetch
the highest price.
American bristles are short, rang
ing from two and a half to three
and half inches. They are soft
and flexible and for that reason are
not so well adapted for the manu-
tacture of hairbrushes.
Yet another variety is that OBJ
tanned from the sea COW. These
oI1oLIeS are hard ana durable, and
and they are black in color.
Imitation bristles in the shape of
fberS are often used. To detect the
true bristle from the imitation and
also to ascertain the quality Of the
real article run your finger down
the center of the brush. If the
bristles spring back quickly into the
straight, upright position they are
genuine, but if they return slowly
to the original position it Will be
well to examine them more closely,
for this lack of residence, or spring
mess, is one Of the signs by which
you will recognize the fber,-Pear-
sons Weekly.

Dies From Wounds Inflicted by
 Fire.

Frances F.. Devasier, daughter oI MT. and Mrs. F. +.

Her older sister tried to catch her. but she evaded her. and apparently became frantic, ran from the yard and started south, when she discovered that Mr. R. C. Smith vas running to meet her, and wheeled from him and ran back for short distance, and turned to the west and ran meeting her mother, who was running from MT. W. 0. Pirtle's to meet her, but she was overtaken by Mr. Smith, who tore the fragments of clothing from her, assisted by her mother, who burned her hands so badly that the flesh seems to be cook ed to the bones of part of her fingers The heighbors and friends gathered Tn To oller assistance, among whom was Dr. ]. F. McDougal, who dressed the wounds with all the tenderness and care of father, besides the skill of a physician, and everyone did every thing that could be done. But it was not the will of God, the Great Physi- clan, that little Frances wounds should be healed She was burned Thursday morning about 7:30 and she wrestled with the grim reaper death, until Saturday morning about two o'clock when she yielded up the ghost, thus conquering her last enemy.
 Frances E. Deyazier was born on the 30th day of November, 1897, and died November IT, 1906 She was eight years, eleven months and seventeen days of age. She was very bright child, but was timid as lawn, but so kind and obedient that to know her was only 10 love her. Her chief desire was to become educated. She was so much interested that she pleaded to know if she might go to school when her wounds were dressed, and when she found that her wounds were so bad, she had Ter books sent for so that she might not fall behind her classes, and she even wanted to memo rize her parts in the Thanksgiving ex- ercises. Rev. ]. c. Kelso conducted funeral services at the home, where quite a number of friends, and es- pecially the school children, had met to pay their last respects. He con cluded the services at the grave.
 The body was inferred in the family burying ground at the Hughes ceme- tery. This accident has cast gloom of sorrow over the neighborhood Everyone sympathizes with the be- reayed parents and relatives.

OVER A CLIFF.

To so out after game in the hill
country of India means that the hunter
will find game, says Captain Glasfurd,
the author of Rifle and Romance in
the Indian Jungle" One morning, fol-
lowed by his shikarees, or native hunt
ers, Captain Glasfurd was out looking
over rough hillside for bear. He had
passed round the curve Of high ledge,
when he found himself In front of a
large lowroofed cave. On the sandy
floor OF the entrance to the cave were
the fresh ingoing tracks Of a bear.
Our position was a sufficiently hazI
ardous one. The ledge was extremely
narrow, overhung by rock, and on tina
verge Of a perpendicular face of sand
stone. We began quietly retracing our
way. But scarcely had we taken one
step when a horrible disturbance oc-
Cured in the depths of the cavern
This FASTENED our movements; but our
haste was as nothing compared to the
rapidlty of the eruption that was going
on behind us as the bear came yelling
and scrambling out OF the cavern. For
me there was nothing but swift whip
