uanltol rana Are "Busy.n

Baseball, even in its waning stages, still holds Irresistible attraction for a large number of the State House ofa- clals and clerks. and five of the prin- cipal offlces in the building were closed yesterday afternoon during the pro- gress of the game. In the offices that were not closed there were several va- cant desks. and each newcomer into the building during the afternoon was be- seiged with a Volle of questions, if he even intimated that he was lust from the ball park.
 Such interest indicates that there is som sthing more than the contest for a position in the official standing of the league The relative merits of the two clubs playing here now, according to the oficial standing, are so poorly matched that interest would naturally ba on the wane, but recently 1t seems rather to center in the one game to be played. which justifies the claim made that baseball is the eighth wonder, all though local bugs and buggines might prefer this title for Bert Maxwell.

Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, Sept. l3.
 The regular fall term of the circuit court of Dallas county will convene here next Monday morning. The ses- sion of the court will probably be a long one as there will be called a number of important eases, which will take up considerable time. The court will be presided over by Judge Miller and the state will be represented by Assistant Solicitor R. H. Mangum. It Is very probable that Solicitor Thomp- son will not attend the session of the court during the first two weeks.
 As soon as the court convenes Mon day morning, the grand jury will be drawn and 1t is expected that Judge Miller will very forcibly charge this jury upon its duties. The first week of the court will probably be devoted to the hearing of non jury civil cases of which there are quite number on the docket.

Buffalo Bills Wild West.

The first claim to recognition as an
institution for educating the unlearn.
ed in American history which the
management makes for Buffalo Bills
Wild West and Congress of Rough
Riders of the World is the very gen.
uineness of 1t all. Everything con-
cerned In the entertainment Is as near
authenticity as human ingenuity and
the unrestricted expenditure of money
can make II. Historic in its origin,
Buffalo Bills Wild West has always
maintained its established record for
genuineness in all things.
IL will therefore be interesting to
lovers OF horseflesh in all varieties
to learn that there will be a display
OF broncho busting during the progress
of the. exhibition when Buffalo Bill
and his big organization appears In
this city. The art OF broncho busting
has engaged the most daring mem
bers OF the cowboy fraternity since
the days when cowboys were first an
established necessity in some fea
lures of western development. IL Is q
most dangerous calling and many
lives have been sacrificed I'm the con
flict between the wild horse of the
plains and the master hand which has
attempted his subsection.
This g>eat exhibition will be In
Providence on Monday, June "a.

He Was Overdue.

The master of large southern plan
tation would fire off n small cannon
every evening Mt @ o'clock as signal
to the people living on his land. One
evening ut the time for the usual boom
the master was away. Two of his ne
groes, John and jim, had long desired
to fire the cannon, but had never had
chance to do SO. They decided to
make the trial on this afternoon, but
thought that 1t would be best for them
to have the cannon make no sound. Ii
was decided that Jim should hold n
water bucket over the mouth Of the
cannon while John applied the fuse.
The piece was touched off, there was a
great boom, and John looked up to find
that his friend was gone.
When the master returned John was
very busy in the field. John" said he,
"where is Jim"
"He went down to the spring after a
bucket of watch, sab"
when is he coming backw
"Well, sab. If he come back like he
went, he's sure due heah now."-Phil-

One Point on Which the Old Man
Wanted More Light.

IL was the policy Of the officers Of a
certain railroad line In all their adver-
tising matter TO place great stress on
the excellence OF the trout fishing to be
reached by their lines, and In order to
provide the trout IL was necessary from
time to time to plant the advertised
streams with fry.
On one occasion an old gardener
named Conelly, who had charge Of
the station grounds, was sent out with
the cans OF fry, procured from the
state hatchery, and a railroad map
marked to show exactly where to plant
the tiny fish.
Conelly returned that night, however,
with part Of the fry still implanted.
He needed further Instructions from
the general passenger agent, who had
marked the map.
"Say, mister" said Conelly, scratch
ing his perplexed head with one hand
and pointing TO the can with the other,
"shall I plant thin fish wild the tails
up or down"
"Why," shouted the irascible agent,
"you laundering blockhead'-
"Aisy, aisyw murmured Conelly.
"Oi'm no such blockhead as ye'd think.

me to plant thin trout Is all billed

SAVED BY CLEAN HANDS.
Thrilling Incident of the Days OF tha
Paris Commune. =.

Frederic Villiers' Peaceful Person
allties and Warriors Bold" contains q
striking and somewhat bloody tale OF
the terrible days Of the Paris com
mune. An unnamed Englishman tells
the story of himself and Archibald
Forbes, the great war correspondent
"There was a good deal Of fighting In
the streets at the time, for the Yer
sailles troops were pressing hard upon
the communists. One afternoon, In q
street not far from where we were sit
ting, I was rounded up by a party OF
rebels and made TO work erecting a
barricade, when / found another Eng.
lishman pressed for the same business.
1t was Forbes, the war correspondent.
We chummed together at our distaste-
full work, which we were compelled 10
do or risk being shot for spies.
presently the barricade was attack
ed by the Versallcists, and the com
munists, after sharp fight, were driv-
en- helter skelter down the street.
Forbes and ran with them. Presently
he shouted, Dive into that winesh0p on
the leftr / Immediately did so, ana
Forbes, catching hold Of me- pushed
me through a shop to n back yard,
where we found pump. Now said
he, wash your hands quickly and let
me have turn After our ablutions
he hurried me back into the street.
That simple incident Of washing my
hands saved my life and | always re
member 1t with gratitude.

fore we were roughly arrested by the
victorious troops, who would not listen
TO any explanation, and were hurried
along with many other prisoners till
we came to blank wall, where halt
was made. About dozen Of us were
made to stand I'm line with our backs

icer in charge.

hands were told TO remain. Forbes an0

to fall out, for our hands showed nc

What Strawberries Really Are.

The pulpy portion Of the strawberry
Is not really fruit nor even n berry,
but is n cluster Of dry seeds slightly
imbedded In mass of pulp. The little
seeds are the true fruit. IL is surpris-
Ing that the pulp enlarges; that il does
not remain small and dry. BY some
wise provision OF nature the pollen not
only directly gives life to each seed on
which II falls, but also stimulates the
surrounding portion of the receptacle

A C0MICAL LAWSUIT.
Odd Revenge Of the Whimsical Count

De Lauraguais.
The Count de Lauraguais was one OF

The boldness of his language and nc

ure OF Louis XVI, who banished him
from Paris, but he came back on a
festal day and was seen in the very
face Of the court walking about a race
course. The king winked at the esca-
pade. Such culprit was incorrlgible.
But one OF the most absurd Of his
antics had to do with the Prince d., n
very dull courtier, against whom he
had n grudge. One day the count APP
piled very gravely to physician, ask
ing If II were possible for a person to
die Of ennui.
"Such thing" said the doctor,
"would be very singular and very
rare"
'But what want to know" said the
count, sis whether 1t would be possi-
BILE"
"Well," answered the doctor, "a long
continued state of cnnui might induce
some disease, such rs consumption,
and In that sense II might cause the
patients death"
On this the consultation was written
down and signed at the counts request
and the fee paid.
Next he went to an advocate and
asked whether he could make legal
complaint against man who by any
means whatsoever had formed Il de
sign against his life. The advocate as
sured him that there was not the least
doubt OF IL and in his turn signed a
declaration. Armed with these docu-
ments, the Count de LHuraguais insti-
tuted criminal proceedings against
Prince D., who, he declared, had form
ed the design of firing him To death!
OF course the suit ended I'm laughter,
but he had had the satisfaction Of tell
Ing the world how his enemy Impress
