great risks in dragging the frightened
horses from their stalls. AS the men
stood about the burning building, hold

scene was an unusual one. The fire
was gotten under control by the de-

Hanging and Suicides Result From
Untrue CircumstantaI Evidence.
What will undoubtedly go into the
books as classic instance of the ma
lignant significance which even the
simplest, most natural actions may
assume when viewed in relation to a
crime and a search for the perpe-
circumstantial evidence is that re-
ported from Nordburg in Prussian
Schleswig.
August Deppe was a clergyman S
son who was troubled with insomnia,
and it was his custom to take long
walks at night. One night young
girl was strangled in the town, and
August's absence from his own home

been committed, together with locali-
ties in which he had been seen, di-
rected suspicion in his direction Hav-
ing been placed under arrest, the po-
lice, Of course, were successful in dis
covering divers other circumstances
pointing to his guilt, and he was con-
victed and hanged.

THEY DIVE FOR WATER.

Novel Method Employed by Natives
on the Shores of Persian Gulf.
Perhaps the hottest region on earth
is that along the Persian gulf. Little
or no rain falls there, and the scorch-
ing sun, which beats down from early
morning to late in the evening, makes
living almost torture.
At Bahrein the arid shore has no
fresh water, and the people who live
there have novel means of obtain
ing drinking water At the bottom Of
the sea near the shore are many fresh
springs. The water is got by diving.
The diver winds large goatskin bag
around his left arm, the hand keeping
the mouth of the bag closed. Then
he takes in his right hand a heavy
stone, to which Is fastened a long
rope. Thus equipped he plunges in
and, sinking to the bottom, fills the
bag with fresh water. He then re.
leases his hold on the stone and re-
turns to the surface. The stone is
hauled up by the rope, and, after the
water has settled again, he dives and
fills another bag.
The source of the springs is sup
posed to be the hills of Osman. which
are several hundred miles away.

EASY TO GET TITLE.
In Portugal 1t Is or Was Until Re.
Gently a Matter of Money,

In Portugal 1t Is or Was Until Re.
Gently Matter of Money.
The cheapest country for buying a
title used to be Portugal. When a
man is made baron or a count there
his patent recites the service for
which the grant is made. I was once
in Portugal and l had some curiosity
to discover what were the services
for which an Englishman of my ac-
quaintance had been made a Portu-
guese baron. l therefore looked the
matter up and found that it was for
having introduced into the country a
new tree.
There used to be another plan for
becoming baron. 1t appears that
there is-or was then-a convent
which once had large possessions. All
it's tenants were, by the fact of being
tenants barons. But the convent had
lost it's possessions with the excep-
tiOn of one farm. 1t had an agent in
London. For very moderate consid-
Grafton the agent let this farm to
would-be tenant. He therefore be-
came a baron, and when he resigned
the farm to the next applicant he re-
tanned the title.

FIRE AS A SOCIETY EVENT.
How Female Reporter Described the
Blaze for Her Paper.

The regular reporter was taking a
vacation, according to the Neodesha
Sun, and the editor was busy in the
Office, SO when it was learned that on
the previous evening there had been
fire in remote part of the city
the young lady who writes the so
ciety news was sent to bring in a re-
port of it for the paper. She came
into the Office an hour later with the
following very interesting account:
''Quite number of people in this
part of the city attended a fire last
night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Blank in Thirteenth street. Some
went in carriages and buggies, but
majority walked. The alarm was
sounded about $50. and many who
attended the fire had just returned
from church, consequently they were
already dressed for the occasion.
"Mr. Blank was not at home, being
out of the city on business; hence the
affair will be quite a surprise to him
when he returns. Mrs. Blank wore
light percale kimonO and had her hair
done up in kid curriers'.
"The firemen responded readily and
worked heroically to subdue the seeth-
ing flames. Most of them were young
and fairly good looking. They were
dressed in oilcloth coats, cut short,
with trousers to match. Their hat
rims were narrow in front and broad
behind and sagged down in the rear.
The chiefs has was ornamented with
an octagonal brass spike which stuck
up above his head like horn, giving
him the appearance of unicorn.
when the flames brolA out through
the second story and cast lurid hue
over the surrounding buildings the
view was one never to be forgotten.
At a late hour the sightseers went
home, and all felt that they had
passed an evening full of interest and
excitement"
