manner 1t was lost. He claims to have
reported the loss almost at once. IL
pardoned he promised to repay every
cent of the money.
Mr. White who is manager OF

good word for Bartell, and asked that

that time in this county and reporting

Proper Time for Inspection.

One of the officials of town not
many miles from Philadelphia has
been the butt of much good natured
raillery for some days past as the re-
rult of a bull made by him at recent
official meeting.
Complaint has been made that the
hose in use by the fire department OF
the town had been very unsatisfactory
and that at the last two fires to which
the company had turned out sections
of the hose were found in a leaking
condition After considerable discus
sion as to the proper action to be
taken the official in question surprised
his colleagues when he arose and
said: Il move, Mr.. Chairman, that un-
til further notice the chief of the fire
department be instructed to have an
inspection of all fire hose made two
days before every fire"

The Vote Accounted for.

A story is related of an ambitious
gentleman who rather unwisely stood
as a candidate for some Office, and
who, at the close of the poll, was
found to have received only one vote.
The candidate was excessively NOR
titled, and to increase his chagrin his
neighbors talked as if it we're mat
ter of course that he had given that
one vote himself This annoyed him
so much that he offered a twO-and-a-
half guinea suit of clothes to his only
supporter if the individual would
come forward and declare himself.
An Irishman responded to this ap-
peal, proved his claim, and called for
the reward.
"How did it happen?" inquired the
candidate, taken quite by surprise,
"How did it happen that you voted
for me?"
The Hibernian hesitated, but, on be-
ing pressed, he answered.:
"If Oh tell yez, We won't go back on
the suit o. clothes?"
ooh, no; l promise you you shall
have the suit, anyhow"
"Faix, then, yer amer" replied Pat,
"shure Oh made a mistake in the bal
lot paper"

She Can Still Husk Corn at 81.

Mrs. Laura Owens, while celebra-
ting her ninety-f1 first birthday anniver-
sary, arose from the dinner in her
honor and spoke of being in unusually
good health for one so far advanced
ing years. She said she believed she
had the strength to do the work which
she performed daily fifty years ago,
says the Noblesville correspondent of
the Indianapolis News.
Some of her relatives questioned
her ability to do this, which made
Mrs. Owen anxious to prove that she
had not yet outlived her usefulness.
Throwing a shawl over her head and
shoulders and donning pair Of gloves
Mrs. Owen went to the farm and
husked row of corn around a thirty
acre field without stopping to rest.
She accomplished the feat in only a
little longer time than an active man
would have done the work, and she
did not seem to be much fatigued.

Costly Palace of Peace.

The fight over the Palace of Peace
at The Hague is assuming a more
acute form. AS is well known, M. Cor
donnier's project, to which the palm
was awarded finally by the jury, is
much too expensive and if executed
would cost about twice the amount set
aside by Mr.. Carnegie. 1t has been a
complaint of other competitors, who
kept inside the limit, that the jury in
arriving at it's decision took no notice
of this breach of the rules. Every
architect" they reason, "can plan a
splendid building when there are no
limits to its costliness. We have kept
within these lines, but others, among
them NJ Cordonnier, did not, and OBJ
tanned much advantage thereby"

VAST LEVELS OF ARGENTINA.
Traversed by Wagons Fifty Feet Long
and Fifteen Feet Wide.


The pampas of Argentina, so far as
an absolute level is concerned, are
said to exceed any other large area in
the world. One railroad runs $50
miles without an inch of curve, and 1t
might have continued in the same way
for twenty-five miles further.
The wagons used in this level coun-
try are fifty feet long in some cases
and from twelve to fifteen feet wide.
The rear wheels are from twelve to
fourteen feet in height and the drivers
seat twenty feet or more from the
ground. The horses used to draw
these wagons sometimes number as
many as three-score to a vehicle.
The principal idea of such a large
wagon is to have something that will
not be engulfed by the mud during the
rainy season and the dust of the dry
season of the bottomless roads OF the
pampas, and it also has its economical
advantage in country where men are
scarce and horses plentiful.

GOING TO MARRY A NATIVE,
Daughter Shocks Her Irish Mother by

Daughter Shocks Her Irish Mother by
News From Australia.
When quite a girl old Mrs. McCar-
thy's daughter took an opportunity
and emigrated to Australia. Years
passed by, but, although in her letters
Matilda never referred to the probable
ity of her return to the land which
gave her birth, still the old lady cher
ished the idea that she would some
day come back.
This belief, says London Tit-Bits, re-
ceived a somewhat rude shock, there
fore, when a few weeks ago Matilda
announced in her letter that she was
about to be married to native OF her
adopted country. 1t was a great dis
appointment, for in Mrs. Mccarthy S
opinion the only men worthy of serl-
GUS consideration were Irishmen, and
to help to dull the knowledge of her
grief the old lady accompanied one OF
her sons to fair which was being
held in the neighborhood. 1t so hap
pened that wild beast show was one
of the principal attractions and she
was vastly interested in the occupants
of the various ornamental cages
''And phwat's them things?" she
asked of the attendant, pointing to a
certain cage.
"Kangaroos, madam" was the polite
reply. "They are natives of Aus
tralia.''
Goodness mel" groaned the poor
old lady. "Is that the sort of thing my
good-looking Matilda's going to mar
ry?"

Doubtful Evidence

A certain elector in a Western con-
stituency, who takes a keen interest
in politics, has been twice confined
in a lunatic asylum. On each occa.
sion when discharged from durance
he obtained a formal written state
ment from the proper authority de-
claring that he was once more in his
right demand. At a recent political
meeting he was extremely excited,
and constantly interrupted the speak
ers. The chairman attempted to bring
him to order by gentle means, which
failed, and then, by stern and digni-
fed reproof, which also failed. AT
last the chairman lost his patience.
Look here, sir" he said to the ex-
cited one, you're behaving more like
a mailman than an elector!"
'Madmani" repeated the elector,
with crushing scorn. "Ive got two
certificates of sanity in my pocket,
