Too lnterestina to Bury.

There is a certain little southern girl who is very fond of her negro nanny The nurses name is Sally, and she is a large woman, so she is known as Big Sally. Ethel, however, calls her "Biggie" for short. One day her mother took her to museum, where, among other things, there were some stuffed animals. Ethel was greatly interested, and for many days she did not tire of talking about them. Perhaps a week later, at the supper table, after a preoccupied silence, she said:
 Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not going to have her buried; I'm going to have her stuffed!"

In the last three years more than one midshipman has been dismissed from the service for marrying before he has been graduated from Annapolis. Also there have been increasingly numerous requests to the navy department from passed mid shipmen asking permission to mar ry. The department has been thus far lenient with Cupid and has granted most of these requests.

Rev. James Thomas vindicated.

At a conference at San Antonio, Texas, Tuesday morning before Rev. James Thomas, his attorneys, Thomas s. Buzbee and Thomas M. Mehaffy and G. W. Hester, banker of Devine, Tex, and his attorney, M. w. Davis ot San Antonio, compromise was ar ranged in the $50,000 damage suit for libel brought by Rev. MT. Thomas against Hester in the Hot Springs Cir cult Court, by which Mr. Hester paid S1 ,000 to Mir. Thomas to have the suit withdrawn. MT. Hester also made affi- davit retracting the statement made by him, which was the cause of the suit, in which he charged Rev. MT. Thomas with being one Otto Brock, a rascal, whom he had known at Car rizo Springs, Tex, years ago.
 The conference was brought about at the request of MT Testers attor- ney. Last Monday night MT. Thomas and his attorneys were preparing to leave San Antonio for home, after spending four or five days in Texas, taking depositions to be used in the suit against Hester. MT. Davis came to them and asked them to stay over until the next morning, stating that he and MT. Hester were ready to ar- range a settlement if it could be done. Rev. MT. Thomas and his attorneys had secured the dispositions of some 15 witnesses and had very strong case. but as MT. Thomas stated that he was not after Testers money, but simply his own vindication, the mat ter was settled by the payment of $1 900 and a retraction of the state ment made by Hester.
 MT. Thomas has also secured vol untary affidavit from the Rev. l. K. Waller of Madill, Okla, the only other man who ever identified him as Otto Brock, in which Mr. Waller states that he is now satisfied that MT. Thomas is not Otto Brock This, with the testimony of fifteen witnesses, all of whom swore that Rev. James Thom- as was not Otto Brock. it is thought is enough to completely exhonerate Rev. Mir. Thomas from the charge which was brought against him by the members of the Methodist church more than five years ago, and which has never until now been entirely dis proved. The charges against Rev. MT. Thomas have caused a great disturb ance in Methodism here intermittent ly for five years, and have resulted in the temporary suspension of one | J. S. Hawkins, a Methodist minister, and caused much bitter feeling be- tween MT. Thomas friends and those who have been foremost in pushing the investigation of charges against him.

were thinner, and we saw that II was
