T see" he said to the reporter of daily paper that you have been writing u0 a shark story"
 Yes, tried my hand at that"
 But you are a nature faker, sir. You have shark sweep a man of raft with his tail and then eat him up. It Is the alligator that uses his tail in that fashion"
 Are you sure about it?"
 "Of course l am. What are you go- ing to do about it.
 Why, I'll have to write another story tomorrow and have the shark put the man back on the raft, and then make some arrangements with some alligator to get hold of him in the proper way"

Hippophaqy.

Hippophagy being in low water in these later days, somebody has set himself to show what an exceedingly respectable history attaches to the practice. Among the ancients, especial. ly in China eating horse flesh was general, and it was only killed in Flu rope by a papal decree of Gregory III. though why horse flesh should have been interdicted does not appear. It was only the famine caused by Ma poleon's invasion that revived the practice in Germany, where 1t has survived ever since.

AUTOGRAPHS CAME IN USEFUL.
Stranded Englishman Raised Money
 on Famous Names.

It is sometimes mighty useful to have distinguished relatives. Here Is an instance in point A young New Yorker, a brother-in-law o3 Sir Philip Burne-Jones. the artist, found himself stranded while in Albany few days ago. Being unacquainted in the state capital, the problem of how to raise enough money to get back to Broad way was serious one. Suddenly it dawned upon him that a couple of let ters which he had in his possession, and which he only recently had re- cetved from Burne-Jones and Rudyard Kiphng. the author, might be made to realize. if not train fare at least the price of ham sandwich. Acting on the inspiration, he took the letters to 6 nearby bookstore. which made . speciality of the buying and selling of original autograph letters of famous persons.
 Fortunately there happened to be nothing of particularly private or confidential nature in the missives in question. and after examining them carefully and asking some questions relating thereto the proprietor of the store finally offered their owner $4.75 for both letters-e& for the Kipiing epistle and 75 cents for the Burne- Jones one. Needless to say. the offer was promptly accepted.

 Its awfuliy hard to best the railroad, but it is sometimes done Will Waller has accom- plished that feat, and possibly one or two others have, but they are few and far between. In Wills case, he had sold a fine trunk to a party at Boughton. and was asked to ship It to him. Will went to the depot and found it would cost soc to express it. He stuttered a little, and swas about to prepay the charges, when a thought struck him. Going to the ticket window, he asked for a ticket to Boughton,- paying 13c therefor. He then proceeded to the baggage room, had the trunk in question checked, ssmailed the ticket and check to the owner of the trunk at Boughton, and sub sequently received from his GUS toner the price of the ticket. Will is a chip off the old block

 Something happenedthis morn ing that probably wouldn't hap pen again in a thousand years. It was ludicrOus, and yet we imagine x ,.l" y.l.e serious to the party WLo accomplished the feat. Mir and Mrs. Ashley Cockrill, of Little Rock, who have been stay ing in Prescott for a few days were to leave for home on No 28 this morning. After reaching the depot, Mr Cockrill decided to go back to the court house, where as an attorney, he had left some unfinished business, expecting to return in time to catch the train. But when No 2S pulled up, he was still absent. Mrs. Cock Till boarded the train, and it pull. ed out with her just as Mir. Cock rell turned thecorner of Wm Gee X Son s store. He made run for the rear coach but missed it.. Fortunately a freight had the passenger blocked at the north end of town, and seeing the situa- tiOn Mir. COckrill made a half mile run, got on the train and joined his wife just as the engine pulled out the second time on it's north-bound journey.
 It's seldom that the railroad company ever gets the best of MT. COckrill, in court or out oft.
