WHOSE WAS TT
A Rare Coin, Two Bargain Sales and
Three Questions.


A scholar travelling in the east
says that he was once in camp with
his friend Ramsay, a man of kin
dred tastes, in a wretched Phrygian
village far from the track of travel
ers. As they were striking tents in
the morning a heavy faced boy
brought Mr.. Ramsay a handful of
bronze for sale. He sorted it rapid
ly on the palm of his hand and
found among the rubbish one very
rare coin of Hierapolis. Then he
put it all back again in the boys
outstretched palm and offered half
a dollar for the lot. The boy &C
cepted the bid, gave back the hand
full, took his money and disappear
ed, while the exultapt purchaser
went chuckling off iamong the
horses.
Ten minutes later the boy ap-
peared again and, going up to the
other Englishman, offered another
handful of rubbish, among which
was the same rare Metropolitan
coin. The gentleman kept the
bronze in his hand and offered a
half dollar for it, which the boy re-
fused, though the bargain was
eventually concluded for a dollar.
Then the gentleman, in high glee,
hailed his companion and, showing
his purchase, informed him that he
was not the only man who possessed
a coin of Hierapolis
'Iet us compare" said the other,
emptying the pocket where his
bronze was jingling.
He sorted the lot and felt in
every pocket No coin of Hierapolis
was there. To this day three ques-
tons remain unanswered:
How did the boy retain the coin
in the first instance in order to sell
it oyer again?
How, in that remote region, far
from the haunts Of travellers, did he
know the value of his find?
And to which purchaser did the
coin really belong?

Tobacco Stories.

They were talking about tobacco.

fooled my mother, who would be-
heve me on sight. But my father
came in on me in tie kitchen once
when l actually had a pipe in my
mouth, draw g at it and emitting
a cloud of smoke.
"He did notneed to say anything.
I knew.
Papa l said, 4 am not smok-
ing. 1 have just lit the pipe for
Mary and l passed the pipe to the
cook with as confident an air as l
could assume.
"Bless her soul, she took it and
went on smoking, and my father
went on his way, satisfied"
81 had 4 worse time than that, "
said the next man. "My father
came upon me with a large chew of
tobacco in my mouth. Said he,
Son, aren't you chewing tobacco p
l gulped the whole thing down, held
my face as straight as l could, and
said, N-no, sir, Charlotte OBJ

will enforce its maximum tariff rates

of settlement of the trouble the presl-

This commission is now at work and
has nearly completed its task.
President Roosevelt has decided to

through its work and to cable him the
recommendations so he can lay the
matter before Congress at once.
Unless there is some legislation at
this session OF Congress authorizing
the president to enter into reciprocal
trade treaties with Germany there is

war between the United States and
Germany. Commercial interests
throughout the country are deeply
concerned over the question that they

TEMPS ON IRELAND'S SERMON.
Says the American Prelate Placed His
Finger Upon National Weakness.

Paris.-The Temps, reproducing
the full text of Archbishop Ire
lands recent sermon concerning the
French Catholics, considers that the
American prelate placed his finger
upon the national weakness when,
"sparing neither republican, reaction
airy, nor anti-clerical Catholics, he re-.
proaches all alike with their tradition
al hereditary inability to comprehend
the meaning of true liberty.
Liberty will not be established In
France" continues the Temps, until
the state and every citizens recognize
that the question of going or Of not
going to mass concerns the conscience
of the individual and not the govern
ment.

SUING 70 RTlMRER LAND.
Company Claims That Its Confidence

Lake Charles, La: The Chicago
Land and Lumber Company through

in the United States District Court
asking for the annullment OF the con-
veyauces by which its 1900 acres OF
hardwood found their way into the

Chicago, who advised them to give
him deed of trust to avoid legal COM
plications and instead procured their
signatures to a regular conveyance.
Afterward Robertson conveyed, the
property to NJ. w. GreesOn, who deed
ed it to w. S. Matthews and asso-
ciates. The petition states that there
are 1900 stockholders in the company,
700 of whom are ministers of the Cos

LEVEES THREATENED.
Sudden Rise in the River Caught Mis-

Sudden Rise in the River Caught Mis-
sissippi Contractors Unprepared.
New Orleans: The sudden rise in
the Mississippi river and its trlbutar-
les has caused grave apprehension in
the lower valley, where many extern
sive levee contracts are only partially
completed, the contractors not figuring
on high water for six weeks.
Between here and the mouth Of the
river the greatest danger is apprehend-
ed. This danger is magnified by the
rackless speed of steamboats,, causing
strong waves to wash over the crum-
bling levees. The situation reached
a climax Saturday, but while the resi-
dents were on the verge of organizing
shotgun patrols to enforce the check
ing of the speed of the steamships, the
various boards, together with the at
torney general Of the state, assistant
state engineer and the district attor'
new of that district, issued proclama,
ton enjoining the steamship command
ers and various pilot organizations to
slow down their ships.

NO JURISDICTION OVER RATES.
That Is the Pullman Company's Con-
tention.

New Orleans: F. B. Daniels, general
solicitor of the Pullman Company, is in
New Orleans to confer with local rail-
road officials and leading railroad law
yers regarding the action to be taken
by the Pullman Company, and Incl
dentally by the railroads, on the Or
der of the Texas Railroad Commission
reducing Pullman fares in Texas. 20
per cent after February /. The inter-
ests of the railroads are so closely in
terwoven in the controversy with the
Interests of the Pullman Company
that it is understood that as yet no de-
cision has been reached as to whether
the railroads alone or the Pullman
Company alone or both Pullman Com
and railroads should act together in
the matter of seeking to prevent the
Texas commissions order going into
effect.
The Pullman Company, it is under
stood, contends that so far from the
commission having jurisdiction over
its rates, the Texas legislature has ro
peatedly refused to give it this jdris'
diction, and consequently that the
commission exceeded its powers when
it issued the order. 1t will also be con
tended by the Pullman Company, in
common with the railroads, that CON
tracts exist between the company and
the railroads for the Pullman service
and that the order of the commission
if put into effect, will result in the i'm
pairment of the contracts.

ARREST At FORT RENO
NEGRO CORPORAL WITH WOUND
ON HIS WRIST.
MAY Be WANTED ASSAILANT
A Bloody Khaki Jacket, Bearing His
Initials, Found by Two
,Eoys.

Fort Reno, Okla.-The finding OF
l. khaki jacket; one sleeve OF which
was covered with blood, and pune
tured presumably by a bullet, has
led to the arrest of Corporal Knowles,
of the Twenty-fifth infantry, colored,
on the charge of murderously assault
ing Capt. Edgar B. Macklin on the
night of Dec. 81.
Has a Severe Wound.
When arrested the negro officer was
found to have a severe flesh wound
on the wrist, which he is said to have
been treating himself for over three
weeks. The wound in the wrist is de.
clared to have been inflicted by the
same size bullet as went through the
sleeve of the jacket which bore
Knowles initials.
The jacket which led to Knowles
arrest was found near the fort on
Sunday by two boys, in the direction
taken by the bloodhounds that fol.
lowed the trail of Macklin's assailant.
Knowles refuses to talk, and Maj. Pen
rose, commanding officer at Fort
Reno, refuses to give any informa'
ton concerning the arrest.
1t is stated upon good authority
that Capt. Macklin is positive that the
prisoner is the man who shot him.
