Nutshell boats make pretty test of
fortune. In the half shells of English
walnuts are fitted masts made of match
es and tiny paper sails. On each sail is
written the name Of guest, and the
boats are set afoat in a tub of water.
If two glide together it indicates SINH
lar fate for the OWNERSHIP one sails alone
it means a lonely life. A gentle STIR
ring up of the water will make the boats
behave in an amusing manner.
The three saucers is said to be an I'M
erring revelation of Fate. One saucer
must contain clear water, another soapy
water, or water into which drop Of
ink has been spilled, and the third sau-
Ger is empty. A girl is blindfolded and
must dip her finger into one saucer. If
the empty one. she will always remain
single; If the soapy water, she will
marry a widower; but If she touch the
clear water, her fate will be a hand.

 l had much rather live m old Polk than in Texas. Those anticipating coming here had best come and see before selling out. Land is worth from Sf0 to S60 per acre, and none to sell in this part Lamar county). It is all owned by few people.
 When you want to rent, say 50 acres, you are asked: "How much (me aning groceries) can you live on?' Then you are told, Well, if you will put in 10 acres oi cotton and 10 of corn and pay me S5 per acre on your corn and can make out with S25 or S30 worth of groceries you can have i:."
 Besides, you have to keep your hogs and cows in the same loI with your horses and get along with any kind of house and barn.
 Some may ask, Why don'l you leave Texas?" I am so pool I can't.

LIVELY PISTOL DUEL
 IN HOT SPRINGS
Quarrel on Street Results in Wound. ing Deputy Sheriff Turner Others Narrowly Escape
 Flying Bullets.

Ia pistol duel between Tony Coppersmi,h, d former deputy sheriff, and Deputy Sheriff Lon Turner, near the court house Saturday, Turner was shot in the head and flying bullets mar rowly missed pedestrians. A running fire was kept up by Fur ner distance of block. Copper smith was placed in the county jail after surrendering himself to Sheriff Williams. Turner re- quired a physicians attention but his wounds are not considered serious.
 The two men were said to have been quarreling over a personal matter and that Coppersmith called Turner a liar and that Turner then struck Coppersmith and almost knocked him down. As Coppersmith rose he pulled his gun and shot at Turner's head. The bullet struck Turner in the side of the head and dazed him. Coppersmith then turned and fled to the court house, then he started on a run for Sheriff Williams residence. Turner, who had by that time recovered from his daze, started after his assail- ant and, near the junction of Woodbine and Hawthorne streets began firing at him. Five shots were discharged, none of which took effect.
 One of the bullets barely missed MT. and Mrs. Robert Carrier, the ball striking the ground only few inches in front of them.
 After Turner had emptied his weapon and Coppersmith had distanced him, pr. A. D. Shaw was called to dress his wound, who found it not dangerous.

CORN ROTTING BY TRACKS.
Four Hundred Thousand Bushels at
 Broken Arrow, 1. T.

Muskogee, Feb. 4. 4.-Thousands of bushels of corn are rotting on the ground along the tracks al the shipping stations of the rail- roads Ia the Indian Territory be- cause the railroads will not or cannot, furnish cars to move It.. Elevators are full and have been for ninety days and the elevator meu cannot move the grain nor get their money out of it.
 The biggest corn shipping station in Indian territory is Broken Arrow. At that place there are now 400. .090 bushels of corn piled up waiting for ship meat. The local railroad agent says there has not been an empty car brought. into that town for ninty days. The only cars that could be had were these that brought in merchandise. As soon as these were emptied they were seized by the grain men who almost fought for them.
 Broken Arrow is on the Osage division of Missouri, Kansas '& Texas aud has only one railroad. The Interstate Commerce Com mission is making an investiga' ton and will seek to find a remedy.
