The dcarth of candidates for the Leg
islature is now matter of comment
and much concern all over the State.
In casting about for reason explain
ing the condition the Greenwood Index
says:
''The reason is not hard to find. 1t
requires the sacrifice of so much time
to make campaign and to serve for
even two sessions that few men feel
that they can afford to undertake it.
The sacrifice of the necessary time is
indeed Il deterrent force; but the loss in
actual money is as much a reason. A
business man whose time is worth
money can i'll afford to spend forty days
away from his business on the salary
now paid our lawmakers. The remedy
as we see it is to increase the per diem
to sufficiently large figure to induce
the candidacy of men whose services
are worth something.

for Him,

About four miles out of Selma, Ala,
| came across a colored nan whose
mule team and loaded G were
stuck fast in a mudhole in the road.
The mules were nodding in sleep. and
the driver lay on the grass by the
roadside with his hat over his face.
"Here-are you the nan who runs
this OUTFIT" | asked as | dismounted
from my horse.
"rze de pusson, sah," he replied, as
he sat up.
How long have you been stuck
here?"
Bout an hour, / reckon"
Well, what are you waiting for?"
Fur some white men to come along,
boss. No use to worry about It. I've
boen yere befo' and know jist how it
works. Sit down and see for yourself"
Ten minutes later four white men
drove up in a buggy. Seeing that the
mules were stuck, they got down, Sc
cured fence rails and went to Dry-
ing, and. without the least help from
the driver, finally extricated the team
and sent it On its way. AS 1t started
off the colored man queried of me:
rs you a stranger to dis kentry,

Yes"
"Lookin' around to see what you
kin see?"

An Accomplished Duelist.

There is something very fascinating
to n accustomed to the somewhat
eve and prosaic tenor OF the English
public life to gaze on a man who has
seen such vicissitudes as the present
prime minister of France, NJ. Georges
Clemenceau. He was but a boy dur
ing the Empire, when he was exiled;
he spent four years in America
which is the reason why he speaks
English so perfectly. Then think of
what he has gone through since; to
every man who challenged him he
sent an acceptance, and a dozen, per.
haps a score, of times he has taken his
life in his hands and looked into the
barrel Of a revolver or at the sword of
an opponent who had for him all the
deadly hate of political animosity, and
especially in a country like France,
where religion and classes, as well as
fierce personal ambition, divide men
into such hostile and i~rreconcllable
camps. Neither giving nor asking
mercy, this terrific man-small ond
compact of stature-with the great
round head, the great dark eyes. has
fought his way, now trampled down,
now rising again, and always feared
and kept back, as men of such fiercely
strong character are bound to be. 1t
is only mediocrities in politics that he
world allows to get to the top without
obstruction.

and he wlggles his feet and ears in
quite an amiable fashion.
Charles Van Zandt, who owns a sill
yer mine rear Butte, Mont, and Ed.

sinking a shaft seven months ago,
when they encountered Rameses, as
he is now called, fully 200 feet below
the surface. He was cozily e%nsconsed
in a pocket of rock. the only crack In
which had been caused by the mining
operations. 1t was that fact that
caused the surprise when they found
the toad VISA alive, although exceed
ingly somnolent. He was nearly blind
then from having been so long In the
dark, but he was breathing.

ing become thoroughly satisfied that
the theory was plausible.
In the meantime examination Of the
rock where Rameses was found re-
vealed nothing in the way of a tissure
that could have been made before the
sinking of the shaft, and the belief
is that the toad crawled into a crevice
that closed after him, perhaps in pre-
historic times, at least so far as this
country Is concerned.
DR.. Dltmar said that he had inves'
tigated the matter and had 10 reason
to doubt Its truth.
There are no riffs in the rock at
ALL" he said, and 1t is well known
that II a toad crawls into a dark and
cold place, such as That where he was
found. the ordinary functions OF life

This toad was found several hundred
feet below the surface of the earth,
and there Is no telling how long he
may have been there. 1t might have
been 800 years or even more"

selves as summer boarders on a large
farm, so that their only child, Edna,
might have a g.cherished wish re-

Little ~six.year.old Edna had heard

cows. horses, CHECKERS, and where the
men dig potatoes. They arrived there

reason for thinking that. their little
girl had learned n practical lesson,
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs to feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and a few moments
later her mother, glancing out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into a little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their
necks far out into the water to get the
feed. She meant to ask Edna why she
did 1t. but the incident passed nj OF

Coffee as Remedy for Asthma.

Coffee is a very excellent remedy
for asthma, according to a writer In
the Family Doctor. Thee who do not
know how to cut short their attacks
and have not tried coffee should do 80
by all means. 1t often succeeds ad.
mirably when almost everything else
has failed. There are one or two little
points to be attended to in taking
coffee for asthma.
In the first place, it should be very
strong-in fact, perfectly black. Weak
coffee does more harm than good. If
made very strong much of 1t need not
be taken; a large quantity is a pos.
tive disadvantage, for 1t is less rap
idly absorbed and only distends the
stomach. Then it should be given
without sugar or milk, pure cafe
noir." 1t should be given on an empty
stomach, for when taken on a full
stomach 1t often does harm by putting
a stop to the process of digestion.

GIRL MARR|ES INDIAN
WEDDING IS CLIMAX OF A WEST.
ERIN ROMANCE.
Miss Marie Arnold Becomes Wife Of
Pueblo Chief After Long En-.

lection to Groom.

Denver, Col.-Closing a romantic
betrothal that has lasted II years, and
survived extraordinary obstacles, Miss
Cora Marie Arnold OF this city has Just
been married In Santa Fe, n. NJ. to
Albino Chavarria, a full. blooded In.
dian. The ceremony was witnessed
by the brides sisters, the Misses Lii.
liam and Geneva Arnold of Denver. It
was performed by Rev. Mr.. Rendon, a
Presbyterian clergyman, after u score
OF ministers OF different denomina.
tons had refused to solemnize the
marriage during the last ten years.
Chavarria is chief of the Santa
Clara Indians, a tribe of the Pueblos
In New Mexico. He brought a band
OF his tribesmen to Denver In 1896 and
they camped In the city park. Miss
Arnold was one OF the many young
women who went to see the Indians.
AS soon as she beheld Chavarria she
fell in love with him. She made fire.
quent visits to the camp, and at last
invited the chief to call at her home.
The Indians first visit to his sweet.
heart was the cause of a bitter family
disagreement. Objection was made
only to Chavarria's race, his character
