A SURPRISING WEDDING.
II Gave a Shock to the Lady Who Was
So Anxious to See 1t.

II Gave Shock to the Lady Who Was
So Anxious to See 1t.
An elderly American authoress asked
me to conduct her to a place where
she could see a workman's wedding.
as she required it for a new novel,
writes the Paris correspondent of the
London Gentlewoman. To oblige the
lady l took her to the Lac Saint-Far-
geau, an establishment at the top OF
the steep Rue de Belleville.
1t was still early when we reached
the place, and no brides or bridegrooms
were visible as yet At last two char
a-bancs drove up to the door, and a
noisy company alighted, all smoking
cigarettes, including the bride, which
shocked my friend exceedingly.
The company then sat down to
luncheon, and we watched them from
a distance, while a photographer took
I'D his position near us. The meal did
not last very long and ended in the
bride performing jig on the table,
while the guests danced around her.
They then started games, hide and
seek, etc., and while the bridegroom
had his back turned the bride threw
her arms round the neck of a red hair
ed youth.
This led to a fight between the two.
The melee became general, the bride
pulling off her wreath and throwing 1t
at her father-in-law's head. My friend
looked on in breathless excitement,
while the guests jumped over the Ia
bles and chairs, but when the bride
turned a somersault, alighting on the
bridegroom's shoulders, the good lady's
indignation rose to high pitch, and 1t
was only then that l told her what
and the reader no doubt, too-guessed
long before, that they were a party OF
acrobats rehearsing a scene for cine
matograph company.

FiShhaWk and Eel Battle.
Fierce Struggle In dar Between Bird and Snaeke Fish Ended
In Victory For Latter After Fight Which Is Said
to Have Lasted Thirty Seconds

George Stadelherger of Highland
Beach, N. j., tells the following story
of a duel between a fishhawk and an
eel which he witnessed recently:
Our cottage is situated on the mar
row strip of land between the ocean
and the Shrewsbury river, and just
across the river are the Highlands of
the Navesink Almost constantly at
this season of the year fishhawks may
be seen flying low over the surf of the

fouled its rudder and it couldn't steer
The peculiar combat attracted the at
tention of several of my neighbors.-
1t could be seen that the hawk was
beaten and was now endeavoring to
free itself from the grip of the eel.
Finally they both dropped back into
the river, where the great amount Of.
splashing denoted that the struggle
was continuing
presently the hawk released itself,
and its manner of fight gave evidence
that it had been quite badly hurt To
all who saw the struggle in the water
it seemed that the eel was bent Oh
wreaking vengeance; but, whether N
territorial or not, it certainly came near
drowning it's antagonist Of the air and
was the brilliant victor of the singular
encounter"

Alaskan Wheat a Fake.

Grant county farmers, together
with wheat growers the country over,
were much interested in the reports
of the wonderful Alaska wheat which
would yield two hundred bushels to
the acre under ordinary conditions
and even more where climatic condi-
tions were right. The reports sent
out relative to this wonderful cereal
were widespread and the Consolidated
Publicly Bureau of S. Paul took pains
to investigate the discovery. In their
report the following facts were found
which entirely dispels the claim of
using worn out farms to raise this
crop with and brings the new wheat
down to the level of ordinary cereals.
Alaska wheat according to the
official report of R. E. Hyslop. agrono
mist of the university of Idaho, will
never become an important or revolu-
tionary addition to American cereals.
This verdict follows much discussion
of the new grain and is at direct
variance with the statements of b. FL.
Kobe, Norwegian consul at st. Paul,
who was one of the experimenters and
originators of Alaska wheat.
Prof Hyslop's report states that
the huge yields credited to the new
gain are not borne cut in fact. He
states that the new grain, he believes,
is variety OF Egyptian wheat, close
ly related to the seven headed variety.
" it'll reference to yield. Prof. Hyslop
says:
"Two high yields claimed for this
wheat, in some cases 277 bushels to
the acre, are fabulous Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. H )be produced on 30 acre
tract near Moscow, Idaho, this year
an average of about 80 bushels per
acre. Upon our request the company
has promised to have a milling test
made soon. Until this test is COM
pleted we must assume that the new
wheat will make no better flour under
the name of ALASKA" than it did
when known as Miracle wheat.
and I am led to believe that they are
the same.
Other facts secured by Prof. Hyslop
indicate that the information given
out by Mr. Adams and Mr.. Hobe as
a result of their experiment, was
highly colored, at least, and based
on wrong premises. The grain. Prof.
Hyslop states. is yet of doubtful
fiourmaking qualities, and the heavy
yields claimed are predicated on
what sample plants have done. and
not upon actual averages taken from
the results of harvest on large tract.
If the same basis of argument were
followed, Prof Hyslop indicates that
it might be proven that ordinary
Little Club wheat would produce 1870
bushels per acre, purely imaginary
rate of yield.
From the facts given in the official
report there is strong suspicion that
the first announcements with reference
to "Alaska wheat were, given out
in the hope of Ultimately producing
a heavy sale of seed at high prices.
and that many of the statements
made were not guaranteed !, by the
facts.

 The change in Onesimus illustrates the natural consequence of faith in Jesus-it makes men faithful. The re- ligion which does not make us better men and women is not the genuine faith of the Lord Jesus Christ

IL shows the existence of a middle class which preserved far more of the strength of manhood and the virtue of womanhood than would have been sus- pected from the writings of Greek and Roman historians. Il was from this class then, as now. that Christianity drew the bulk of its faithful adherents and martyrs. It is true that Christ is able to save the lowest but neverthe- less the majority of His followers are not taken from the absolutely degen- crate: at either end of the social scale neither from the slums nor the fast set" Some of the brainiest and truest men of that age were slaves, like Epic tetus, the stoic philosopher. who was a Phrygian bOndman.

FAYE OF TWO MEN
 AR0USES CURIOSITY

Their Mysterious Disappearance Sug-
 gests Foul Play or Misfortune.
 Word was brought to town yesterday of the two men about a month ago. from their temporary camp on the old Broadway ranch south of the river. Very little is known about the men and they may be all right right but the manner of their leaving and the status of their affairs suggests the possibility that misfortune has overtaken them or that they have been victims of foul play.
 Not even the names of the men are known as they kept to themselves very closely and did not bother others or i'm pose their company on the neighbors to any great extent. They were hunt ing and trapping for a living and a few months ago showed up at the Broad way ranch which is now one of the Pickrell and Clark ostrich farms, and of Foreman Moss secured permission to camp there. They fixed themselves up as comfortably as possible, had their traps and camp parapnernalia scattered around and proceeded to do business. Everything went. smoothly and they were apparently securing a goodly number of scalps that return d bounty and making some inroads on the game supply
 About a month ago they announced that they were coming to Phoenix and left their camp.I since which time they have not been seen in that neighbor- hood. Their immediate return did not alarm anybody as they had no one to account to and it was presumed they knew their own business. As the days went by fears began to be expressed that they might have been caught in some of the numerous little floods that have come down the river during the past month, or perhaps robbed and murdered for it was supposed that they had quite a sum of money between them.
 Since then several of their traps have been found in one place and another; sometimes with animals that were caught and died of starvation and pain One big wild cat was found that is now

TO MAKE SHOES WATERPROOF.

Shoes can eaisly be made water
proof and snow resisting by the a i'd
of little paraffine dissolved in ben.
zine to dissolve it and make 1t flow
easily. The preparation can be
brushed over the uppers and even t he
soles, and as It dries almost as fast as
put on, the shoes are ready for wear
without any delay. The paraffine
presents firm waterproof surface and
does not look amiss, although 1t will
not take shine like unprepared
leather. But it will resist any
amount of wet, and is convenient In
snowy weather. The preparation
differs from most waterproofers in
that instead Of making the leather
stiff and hard, 1t becomes soft and
pliable. The mixture can be appli ed
o patent leather tips and to uppers
composed entirely Of that material :,
but 1t takes Off the brilliancy Of
these stylish articles completely al
