This Old Hen Onto Her Job

A sedate and respectable old hen
belonging to a prominent Citizen
of Spencer, has mothered an egg
that has set the town agog With

stated, that there appears on the
shell the following in bold raised

IN COURTEOUS SPAIN.

Travellers Get the Best Idsaa BY Jour.
neyins Third cIaso.
The stranger cannot perhaps more
easily get single glimpse Of the
true and ancient Spain than by &C.
quiring the habit Of travelling third
class. The seats indeed are hard,
but the company is usually excel
lent, charming in its manners and
not offensive to any sense. Here a
constant series of novel pictures is
presented to the traveller, who may
quietly study them at leisure. Per-
haps it is dozen merry girls on
their way to festival, packed tight
ly together and laden with packages.
Some of the more sedate among
them wear mantillas, some bright
handkerchiefs on their heads or go
with hair uncovered; but, however
they are dressed, to whatever class
they belong, they are all clean and
sweet.
Or perhaps it is less crowded
carriage one enters. There are two
middle class Spaniards and peas
ant group of three-a fat, jolly mid
die aged man in a PEASANTS cos
tune, but clean and new, almost
stylish; woman of like age, one of
those free, robust, kindly women
whom Spain produces SO often, and
a pretty, bareheaded girl, evidently
her daughter, though the man seems
friend or relative who is escorting,
them on their journey. By and by,
when we have been some hours on
our journey, he lifts from the seat
in front of him the large, heavy en-
broidered wallet-the alforja, which
Sancho Panza was always so anxious
to keep well filled-unwinds it and
draws out one of the great, fat, deli
cious Spanish loayes and throws it
ON the woman's lap. Then dish
of stewed. meat appears, and the
bread is cut into slices, which serve
as plates for the meat. But before
the meal is begun the peasant turns
round with hearty "Gusta?" 1t is
the invitation to share in the feast,
which every polite spaniard must
make even to strangers who happen
to be present, and it is as matter
of course politely refused, "Muchas
gracias." Before long the black
leather wine bottle is produced from
the wallet, and the meal proceeds.
At its final stage some kind of sweet
meat appears, and small fragments
are offered to the two middle class
Spaniards and then, with a slight
half movement, expressing a fine
courtesy restrained by the fear of
offering any offensive attention, to
the foreign caballero also. It is not
improper to accept this time, and
now the leather bottle is handed
round, and the middle class Span
iards avail themselves of it, though
with awkward unfamiliarity.-At-
lantic Monthly.

Greenes to Construct -Four Boats.

Gresnes to Construct Four Boats.
The Greenes, owners of the Greene
line of steamboats,, have agreed to
build four boats this season. to ply
on the Ohio and Kanawha rivera.
They will be packet boatp, of the
Greenland type, with the except
ion that they will not be square
stearned. The Greenes recognize
the signs of the times, which point
unmistakably to the coming into
its own again of the old river, and
they desire to be in on the ground
floor. so to speak. No less per-
sonage than President Roosevelt
has said that the railroads cannot
do the business of the country, and
that the solution is in the improv.

The Greene people are wise, and
since the faotthat steamboats, will
be needed will do their part tow
ards filing the vacu m. They al Q
realize the fact that the day of the
"dinky" is over and only real
sic ,mboats will attend to travel to-
day as they did in the paat. The
people Of the Ohio river for fifty
years were used to the best of
boats, and they are ready to gladly
go back to the river when good
boats come. The boats they build,
two of them at least, will be
sidewheelers, and while the other
two may possibly be stern wheel

City type, but not quite 30 heavy
Two of the boats will run from
Cincinnati to Charleston, W. Va,

piled to a woman) and pilot. and

SCHOOL AT JACKSONVILLE. State Normal will Get Aid from tn,
 Town.

Jacksonville. May 25.--(Srecial b. The City Council at meeting held last night provided the means where by the State Normal School at this place will get $10.0oo for the enlarge ment of the school building. To this wiu be added $15.ooo to be spent on extension of the building this summer.
 From ss,0o0 to $1O.o00 will also be spent for a library on the school grounds, but detached from the main building. This enlargement of the building became necessity, the school having greatly outgrown Its limits as to room. It was simply a question of more buildings or the turning away of students seeking the advantages of learning. Inasmuch as no appropria- tion from the State was to be had for this purpose, the town of Jack sonville took the matter in hand with the result stated above.
