Is Captain Sifritt's Opinion
of the Trouble.
Trying to Make Trouble in
Company D.
Pay Has Not Been Received From
the State and He is Innocent Of
holding up Money.

Captain o. l.. Sifritt Tuesday ev-
cning at the regular meeting OF
Company ID for drill, took the first
opportunity he has had since the
charges were made to investigate the
rtmors Of gambling and TO run down
the story that was circulated TO tie
effect that he had been holding w
the pay of the men for their regular
drill work. The whole affair, ac-
cording to Captain Sifritt, resolved
itself into nothing more nor less than
~ beef from sorehead,' as it Is
inelegantly but forcofully put.
Captain Sifritt says that after maxi
ing q thorough Investigation. he is
satisfied that the charges that GAM
bling has been ermitted' in the ar
mory are absolutely without founda-
ton and emanated from the brain
% member OF the company who
IS not made OF the right sort of ma
terial and wants TO be trouble
maker. So far as the mems pay be-
ing held up, he has not as yet re-
ccivcd It from the state. That's all
there Is to the trouble. Although
he has ii in his power to punish
the offender, he has determined o
allow the matter to drop, believing
that this will be the best policy.
Arrangements were also made af-
ter the regular drill last night for
the members OF the local rifle team
to 60 to Delaware Wednesday
March G, to enter a contest with the
team from Company l. Of Marys-
vile.

CALIFORNIA; BEAUTIES
Will be Represented at the Y. M. C.
A. Friday Evening.

California never loses its power
of fascination. IL may be the "sta-
tions of the Gross" from San
Diego to Bay OF st. Francis. 1t
may be its configuration most
spectacular indeed. Its antithiscs
are unaproachable while the re-
sources are not only famous, but
they become imperial. Copper,
coal, cement-tne score CT mineral
forces untouched, await the pick,
crow and spade of tho da,mtless
workman. Boleria is equalcd in
nitrate deposits, and soil wins
prizes with Netherlands. What a
hurly-burly cline 1t is, ever fresh
because ever changing, yet always
the same. Blind indeed is he, who
fails to note this modern Janus,
open by way Of golden gate TO all
climes and TO the land of which
she is SO magnificent a part. Call
her by the new name Of "Now".
She answers in triumph To any
man, seeking commercial dlstinc-
tion; educational chastenings; in
dustrial prerogativcs, etc, divcrsi-
fed agricultural developments. She
offers herself TO the one man idea.
The individual need not fear of
finding jcwcllcd circumstances in
all parts of that Western El-Dor-
ado.

Mouse Stops Train

NN THE Italian railways an cleo
 trical apparatus, upon the de- O parture of a train from any station, rings six strokes upon gong in the next station. The station master at Capri, hearing three strokes when there should have been six, immedi- ately came to the conclusion that there was something wrong on the line. and ordered up the electric sig nals of warning. The train. which was by this time under full headway, came to a dead stop.
 Then began a transfer of telegraphic messages. The passengers were anx- fouS to know what was the matter. They waited while the messages went back and forth. The inquiry esta blish- ed the fact that everything was right on the line, and the train was ordered forward after considerable delay.
 The station master about this time thought 1t might be well to look into his gong, and there he found, stuck fast between the cogs of the electric al apparatus, a mouse.
 The unhappy animal happened to be in the interior of the clock when 1t struck one," and down he attempted to run, but was caught between the murderous wheels. His little body was big enough to stop the whole appa- ratus, and consequently the train as well.

 He dug deep and carefully, and crum- bled up every spadeful of soil so that the purse of gold might not escape his eye. And. mindful of the charm which the old man had related. he got out his mothers seed bags and planted vari- ety of seeds in carefully laid out beds
 ''Ughl my back does ache and my legs are stiff and sorer' he groaned as he stopped work to prepare breakfast. ''But even if die from overwork. I shall keep on. No one else is going to get that purse of gold if I can prevent it.
 How good his breakfast tasted. The black bread and the water! Why, it was the best loaf the baker had ever baked, thought he. Then he went out and resumed his work, and gradually. before he knew it, all the ache and stiffness wore of, and he became so interested in planting that at times he actually forgot that his original and only interest had been in the purse of gold.
 As the days went by his delight in watching the tender, green shoots grow into wonderful. productive plants be- came unbounded. All he had done was to dig and plant, water and tend. Then

A Play Powwow

NE of the most delightful of "dress-up" parties is a jolly play . powwow.
 You can have friends of all ages par ticipate, and 1t will be sure to be very informal.
 Issue your invitations on sheets of birch bark, using Indian characters as decorations. You can even word the en- tire invitation in Indian characters and send each guest a key on a separate slip of paper, so that they may have all the fun of deciphering the invitation.
 For instance, the date is indicated by the proper quarter of the moon for which you may consult an almanac); the hour by symbols of that time of day; a wigwam represents the meeting place' a pipe of peace indicates the character of the meeting (for peace. not war); and a picture of corncake will give clue to the character of the refreshments.
 Make 1t clear to all that they are ex- pected to come in Indian costume.
 The costume is, easily devised. Take heavy brown linen, some turkey-red cotton, bright beads and several bright quills and secure from somewhere very gay blanket.
 with these materials you will have no difficulty preparing a makeup that will be both very effective and a good dis guise. Take your choice of the charae- ters of an old squaw or young Pocahon- tas, an old chief or young brave
 The hostess has wigwams. tripods and kettles to set up. And for refreshments she should try to have Indian foods cornmeal cakes, Indian pudding and other dishes made of corn (ulaize).
 It will add to the interest of your powwow if you allow 1t to be known at the time invitations are issued that prizes will be given the guests whose costumes are voted to be the best.

A gentleman who lived in Honolulu many years ago told me the big. old turtles used to walk about the streets there and eat the scraps of food people would throw to them. They were 50 large that the Iit- tie children used to climb up on their backs and ride about.

Real Cinderella

 Cinderella will be interested to
 \ know that she was a real per son, but not, as many suppose, German or English girl of a few cen- turles ago. She lived in Egypt at least 2000 years ago. and her real name was Rhodome.
 One day, when she was bathing in the Nile, an eagle carried off one of her shoes, which she had left on the river bank. The eagle dropped the shoe. which was of fur-not of glass, as the legend has it-right at the foot of the King, who was staying at Memphis. He was so surprised at the small size of the shoe thus literally fiung at his feet that he sent q mes senger to discover the owner of such tiny feet.
 The messenger succeeded, in finding the owner of the shoe, and Rhodome was brought to Memphis to become the queen of King PsammetiGhnS ok E9TBf

Mayor and Canaries

~IR WILLIAM TRELOAR, the new
 Lord Mayor of London, in the AJ Royal Agricultural Hall, opened the annual two days show of the Lon don Cage Bird Association, the proceeds of which are. devoted to the Crippled children's Ch&istmas Hamper Fund. of which he is founder and treasurer.
 The association, said Sir William, did a great deal of good in teaching people how to keep and rear birds properly, and how to keep them in captivity bet ter than they would be out of doors.
 On looking around the hall he saw lizard canary which. he was told, has it's beautiful plumage for only twelve months, and never has 1t again. It struck him that the bird was very much like a Lord Mayor, because he under stood that he should have very beau tiful plumage, but only for the twelve months that he was elected to that or fee
 A bird which he had at home ate six times as much as his other birds, and his wife called it an alderman, because it was so greedy.
 He had also a cockatoo which talked a lot of what could hardly be under stood, and burst into laughter, and his wife called that bird member of Par nament
