addition to his family circle. He
provided himself with some water
from the Jordan for the christening

sought out the sexton, in order to
hand over the precious water to his

pocket, but the sexton held up a
warning hand and came nearer to
whisper, "No, the moo. SIR he said,

HAD CROUCH WITH HIM
Newsboy's Sarcastic Comment Amply
Justified by Circumstances OF
the Case.

A gust of wind snatched the new
fall headgear from a stout man on
the Euclid car the other morning
Just as the car slowed up to wait for
a passenger train to get by at East
Fifty-ffth street, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer
He made futile grab for it, but
it rolled along the curb for several
rods. Then a newsboy stopped shout
ing "Uxtry" long enough to catch
the hat on the wing and make a
squirt for the car before it started
on.
"Here's your hat, misterw he
shouted. as he handed the hat over
to the misunderstanding, corpulent
passenger.
The fat man took the hat and
looked at a chunk of mud smeared
over the crown, as if to say, "That
wouldn't have been there if you had
been a little quicker" Then he
pulled the hat down on his head
more firmly than before and resumed
the reading of his paper.
"Nice, 'preciatiye old codger, amt
he?" the lad yelled to another news
boy. Then he jumped off the car
whistling.

From the way people are taking

about Is per cent of the cotton 60
ing to Conway and they all come
back satisfied.
DR.. Cole mad the misfortune to
break his cotton press and has gone
to Little Rock with it. The doctor
thinks he is getting some of that
other place while on this earth.
l suppose there will be some
thing like IS per cent cotton crop
in this part of the county. Corn

We have a good school at this
place, Professors Stone and Short,
teachers.
We have had two days debate
here this week between a Metho-
dist and a Christian preacher. All
the difference we can see is that

pretty hard on brothcrly love.
Arthur Seaman has been on the
puny list this week.
Jerry Seaman says he is in favor
of dividing the other fellows stuff.
How clever he is not to want it all.
Mrs. J. E. Patterson and daugh-
ter, Bessie, attended the chapter at

1t was the home teams first game

crossed over to the umpire, previous

a five spot"
well" said the umpire, "and if
YOU lose, what them"
"Then," said the burly one,

Beer Barrel a Fitting Emblem.

For a brewery peer a beer barrel would
obviously be the most fitting emblem
but none of them has yet adopted it. And
for a man who owes his admission to
what Frederic Harrison calls the "gild-
ed catacomb" solely to his wealth, the
"e" sign freely sprinkled over his es-
cutcheon would constitute a much more
tinction than the hackneyed fleur-de-ls
1t is not due to modesty that none of
the "nouveau richie" aristOcracy has vet
displayed it. But whatever be the form
of heraldic blazOn and supporters adopt
ed the bill that has to be paid to the
college of arms is the same-$310.5O 80, with
no discount for prompt payment. For
sporting his armorial bearings on his car
riage, which no self-respecting peer ever
neglects to do the new lord is taxed
5000 a year, and has to pay s5.25 per
annum for displaying them on his pri-
vate note paper
The selection of a title involves a lot
more trouble and research, for so many
have been appropriated IT is a difficult
matter to hit upon new one that is like
" to prove satisfactory to its possessor
and his posterity. In addition to those
designations that are in public use there
are no fewer than 800 buried titles in ex-
iStence-that is to say titles. which are
absorbed in superior titles-and all these
have to be examined in order to see that
the new title does not clash with any AL
ready conferred. Being elevated to the
peerage. attractive as it may seem. is not
all beer and skittles. More than one
peer has acknowledged that when he dons
his robes and coronet for the first time
his predominating feeling is the singular
iy uncomfortable one that he is looking
ridiculous. And many of them never get
over that feeling.

The crop of wheat this year is not up
