Coleman of Chraneville went
to Huntsville Monday to at.
tend a meeting of the home
guards of Randolph county durs,
ing the civil war, who are maxi
ing an effort to secure pensions.
Rev. Routt was one of these
guards in Randolph county and,
owing to his enfeebled condition
from an attack of paralysis, a
pension would he a boon to him
and we trust he will get it.
Mrs. G. p. Vandiver, whose hus.
band we have the distinction and
honor of being, came up from
Moberly Sunday afternoon and
remained until Monday night.
Our friends were considerate
enough to make a good report
of our conduct during our wife's
absence and we escaped q certain
lecture. But she is coming home
about Christmas to look after US
herself.
Mrs. F. W. Smith and baby boy,
Fred, of Lawton, Okla, arrivedla last
night for a visit to Mrs. Smiths
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. D.
Cunningham, and will remain
until after the marriage of her
sister, Miss Bertha Cunningham,
to George D. Key, an attorney of
Lawton, which propitious event
will take place next Wednesday,
November 6, at high noon. In.
vitations have been issued to the
wedding, and a delightful social
function is in prospect.
Wallace Applegate, who re.
signed his position in the Bank
of Keytesville a few weeks ago
to accept a better paying job
with the First National bank at
Shreveport, La, returned home
Friday afternoon accompanied
by his grandfather, L. M. Ap.
plegate, who joined him on the
trip to the sunny South. Wal
lace's health broke down and his
employers gave him a vacation
OF q month or six weeks in which
to recuperate before returning to
work. We are glad to note that
he is improving, and hope he
will soon be restored to perfect
health.
"W. E. Hill vs. J. A. Stend.
er" was the title of an attach.
ment suit tried by jury in Judge
j. M. DeMoss' court Monday, the
bone of contention being an ac.
count for $52 for cement blocks
that Mr.. Slender had bought and
paid man named Dodson for.
Mr.. Hill claimed that Dodson was
in his employ at the time and
that the blocks were his and not
Dodson's. The jury seemed to
think that that was a matter for
Mr.. Hill to settled with Dodson
and not with Slender, and, as a
consequence, returned a verdict
for Slender. Capt. j. c. Wallace
represented Mr.. Hill and Roy w.
Rucker and j. A. Collet appear.

PARIS, May 2.-There was an echo
today of the May-day rioting. Jacob
Law, the man who fired at a detach'
ment OF cuirasslcrs from the top of an
omnibus, wounding two Of them, and
who was severely handled, probably Will
recover and will be tried for attempted
murder. The man declares himself 10
be an anarchist, and says that his only
regret is that ho did not kill one of the
officers. He claims to be 4 naturali2ed
American, but his naturalization papers
have not been found, and it is appar-
ent from letters in the possession of the
police that he lived only 4 short timo IN

to get any satisfactory view of the

Of scenery that single moment OF mat

had been waiting for. and I went over
the front Of it and struck the ground
on my head or back before l had time
to realize that something was happen

them all. But no matter which way
was chosen for me there was always
one monotonous result-the bicycle
skinned my leg and leaped up into the
air and came down on top Of me.

this violent performance that it had

insane amusement. My teacher was a
young German from the bicycle fac

with pathetically grave face. He
never smiled; he never made remark;
he always gathered me tenderly up
when I plunged of and helped me on
again without a word. When he had
been teaching me twice day for
three weeks I introduced new gym

wrung from him, thing which had
been risking my life for days to

A BUNCH or ROSES.

At regatta on Lake Lucerne the
whole surface Of the lake was streWed
with roses.
The rose has through all time been
the symbol of the purity and charm OF
girlhood.
Spartan soldiers after the battle OF
Cirrha refused offerings Of wine unless
1t was perfumed with roses.
The rose seems to have long been
the symbol Of silence. 1t has been
suggested that the utter inability to
set forth the charms Of the rose has
admonished to silence.

In Persia a wealthy man win often

very wealthy and influential mer-
chant Of Ispahan, who was delighted
with his charm and cleverness and so
pleased with his services that he
thought he would make a very good
son-in-law and suggested him as such
to his beautiful daughter. She was
very overbearing and bad tempered;
but, thinking that Abdullah was rather
good looking she agreed to it. They
were married. Soon his friends came
to congratulate him, among them
Housseyn. who was known to have a
very overbearing and bad tempered

your marriage" and then he asked the
bridegroom. Are you really happy
with woman who is known to have
such a bad temper"' 81 assure you
that she is perfectly charming and
that I am perfectly happy MAY I
ask how you manage it?'
Certainly" answered Abdullah. "On
the night of the marriage went into
her apartments in full uniform with
my sword on. She did not take any
notice Of me, but put on a supercilious
air and made parade of stroking her
cat. l quietly picked up her cat and
cut off his head with my sword, took
the head In one hand, the body in the
other and threw them out Of the win

not show it.. After a few seconds she
broke into smile and has been !,

Housseyn went straight home and
put on his uniform and went into the
harem. The domestic pet came to
