by the expenditure of S20,000 for labor and material an old French ladder or elevator dredge, which had been lying in the Rio Grande river, above La Bo- ca, for more than twenty years, has been restored in every part so that 1t is now capable of excavating h0,OOO cubic yards of material per month, an amount equivalent to that removed by four nlnety-five ton five-yard steam shovels. This dredge when in service at the La Boca entrance. of the canal will do more work than a modern dip per dredge costing $102,500
 In reconstructing the dredge, all the essential parts used were French. These were found in the jungle, or among other old French plants scat tered along the line of the canal. The three boilers, which have been installed in place of the two original ones, were found in the jungle near San Pablo, where they had been lying for more than twenty years. They were in ex- cellent condition, free from corrosion, and all bearings and fitting were in good working order. The two cylinders also came from the jungle, and were in like excellent condition. Their valves had to be reset and new rings fitted, otherwise they were In as good condi- ton as when new. The engine, which had remained in the hull, was in ex- cellent condition, and could not be surpassed by modern machinery, both as to adjustment and economy of op- eration. The copper piping on all the machinery is of very heavy design, and shows much more careful workman ship than is found in modern machin- cry. The remarkable preservation of this machinery was due in the first place to the high quality of material used in construction, and in the sec- ond place to the use of white lead and grease, which covered the parts and excluded the air.

There passed the other day on to the French statute book a law which will probably have important results in the history of many French lives. It is a law by which any man or woman over the age Of thirty may marry without first obtaining the permission of father or mother and without needing even to go through the form of notifying the family of the event, Hitherto no French, of whatever age, could marry without his parents consent, though after the age of twenty-five he could bring the matter into court and get a judgment upon.

 INTEREST

Many different names are possessed by the Gypsies in various lands. The Arabs call them "Harami" (villians) and the Dutch call them "Heydens" (heathen), The Persian takes his name for the race from It's complexion and dubs them "Karachi," or swarthy. A Scotch charter of the twelfth century mentions their Scotch name of "Tink- lers," which is commonly supposed to be a corruption of tinker, although possibly the substitution of 1t" for "z" has produced this form of the Italian Zingaro," one of the most widespread of Gypsy appellations.

 The Manor school team of Stam- ford defeated the Choate eleven on Choate field Saturday afternoon to the tune of Al to 0. It was the slowest game, from the Choate standpoint seen on the local gridiron this season, the home team being outclassed in every way Manor scored its first touchdown after five minutes play. Wallace was their star man and car ried the ball through the Choate line for fifteen and twenty yards at time. Manor scored twice in this half, and both goals were kicked. For Choate Brooks did the best work as usual, and made several brilliant tackles. The second half was the most inter- esting for both sides Lembeck kick ed off to Brooks on Choate's 10-yard line, who fnnbled the ball. Wallace got the ball, bucked through the op- posing line and started down the field with only two men In front. The first missed his tackle by good three feet and the Jap, Masuda who was the only remaining obstacle in his path was pushed aside with ease, With a clear field the visitors rushed on, the Choat men struggling along after and made the touchdown after running the entire length of the field. After the next kickoff Choate tried several forward passes, which were fumbled and resulted in loss but near the close Hungerford made corkins pass to Masuda, who plunged through for fhirty-fve yard gain. Here Choate, braced up and by several end runs gained Manors 15-yard line. At ths point Wallace again came to the rescue and carried the pigskin back into Choates territory. By this time Brooks, who had been fighting hard, was taken out and Watts put in. Bar ker was knocked unconscious near the close and Rhoades was put in his place. Five touchdowns were made lin this half. Lembeck, Manor's guar | ter, kicked six goals out of seven ltries. For Choate, Brooks and Maru- da did some fine work. Lembeck and

AN AFFECTIoHATE LETTER.
Sharon, Kans., 6

Sharon, Kans., 6.3.o7
DEAR SISTER: As Yesterday was
such nice summer day we decid-
ed we would let the children go
out to play. So we fixed them up
and let some of the men folk take
them over to Kiowa to play with
Mr.. Walter Owen and his little
friends. The boys treated them
very nicely until in the afternoon
when Walter invited the boys out
to play ball.
Now sister that is a game that
the boys over at Kiowa know all
about. Walter placed his boys
around over the lot and got little
Harry Newkirk to get out in the
center and throw at us and the
boys knocked three straight rollers
down to Walter and he missed ev.
cry one of them and then he went
away out in the pasture so far our
boys could not knock them to him,
and took sun bath. In fact the
Kiowa boys missed 8 rollers and
our boys only missed rollers and
one flyer. The children got along
very nicely until the seventh in
ming when the large crowd threw
a big ball of joshing at Genie
Drauhard and it hit him right on
the arm and before the medicine
man could get back with the lini-
ment bottle the Kiowa boys had
run themselves down-o times.
But our boys did the best playing
for twice they put two out once,
and one time they put three out at
once and another time they came
near not getting them out at all,
but we are going to let them 20
over to Harper next Sunday if it
is a nice day as 1t is not very ex-
pensive and the boys enjoy the
game.
