THE FISH IN HIS BED.
Funny Climax to an Angling Expert
ence Of General Galiifet.

Long ago, in the days of the second
empire. General Galifet was the aid
de-camp Of Napoleon III. AT st. Cloud .
his quarters were just over the i'm
perial bedroom. Everything around
him was very grand and very gloomy.
The window Of his room looked upon
the pond that washed the walls Of the
chateau. The water was clear and
the surrounding scenery was beautiful.
but the young lieutenant felt like
prisoner Early one morning, while
seated at his window trying to drive
away the blues with a cigar. he espied
below in the crystal water an enor-
nous carp. The instinct of the angler.
strong in Callifet, made the young
mans eyes snap and set bis heart
throbbing.
The big fish was the private property
OF the emperor. Consequently for Cal
lifet II was forbidden fish. But it was
such q fine fellow The resistance OF
the soldiers conscience was useless. IL
surrendered upcOnditi0nally. The re-
naming part Of the campaign against
the carp was simple enough. Gallifet
went 70 his trunk. brought out bis
trusty line. TO which he fastened a
hook and an artificial bait. With his
accustomed skill he cast his line The
carp was hooked and hauled IN through
the window
Here the lieutenant's fun ended and
bis trouble began. The fish. landed
upon a table overturned a large globe
Oiled with water and caromed from
that to a magnificent vase, which II
also upset and smashed TO pieces upon
the floor. Then Il began 70 execute a
genuine pas de carpe among the smith
Greens.
The emperor, hearing the strange
racket Overhead and seeing the water
trickling through the ceiling was as
tonished. He rushed upstairs 20 nnd
out what was the matter Gallifet
heard him coming and endeayored 70

window aud thus destroy the evidence

Nitroelycerin In Safe Bursting.

In the expressive slang that per-
meates police circles throughout the
country. a 'yegg' is one Of the dan
gerous criminal class.
The question is often asked, What
is a yegg, and how did the expression
originate? An answer TO the latter
part Of the query will lead TO an eluci-
dalton OF the first
Some years ago, when the United
States government was experimenting
with high explosives. wishing TO secure
some death dealing and destructive
shell that would cause more damage
than any before manufactured. some
one suggested that introglycerin be
tried. Up TO that time this most pow
erful OF explosives had not been utn-
tied IN this way.
The government experts went to
work, and the results Of their expert
ments were from time TO time pub
lished broadcast through the commu-
nifty. At last they succeeded IN max

the chief component part and which
made all former ones sink into insig-

HAVE FIRM BELIEF IN EAlRIEs.
Curious Surerstitions That Are stIll
Prevalent in ireland.

J. f
In Ireland there have been FOR many
many ages curious superstitions re
garding fairies In the old time these
imagined little elfins were thought to
be half human and half spirit nature.
and had strange powers over mankind.
The good folk of Erin used to propiti-
ate the fairies in many ways few Of
them being as follows:
II q child spilled milk on the floor
the mother would say That's for the
fairies thinking that some fairy had
caused the accident. Thus the careless
child went unreprimanded II one were
throwing slops out of the window or
door she must cry out to the fairies:
~Take care Of the water!" Otherwise
some fairy passing might get drenched,
and retaliate in some unpleasant man
ner. II q horseshoe was nailed over
the door It would prevent the fairies
from entering to do mischief to the ia.
mates. II small piece OF iron were
eewed into an infants garment the
fairies would never molest It BY caus-
ing II to suffer collie pains. If'a large
vessel filled with pure drinking water
were placed n the kitchen at night the
fairies on entering would not touch
me food there. but content themselves
with drinking the water.

appointments, their pangs and heart
aches in every home.
In the passing from this life Of the
soul Of Mrs. Susie Cole--the world
who knew her--lost a good and noble
woman. She had seen in her short
life both the dark and beautiful side,
and no matter which came to her,
she met her duty with smile, and a
desire to do it, no matter what the
cost. Truly she was a christian wom-
an, ready at all times to condone and
forgive, never to censure.
She had only been i'll few hours
when death claimed her Monday
morning and the shock Of her sudden
end has completely Frustrated the de-
voted husband and family.
Mrs. Cole was born Dec. 3, 1866.
in Chickasaw county and grew to
young womanhood here. Was mar
ried TO G. w. Cole on Jan. Eth, 1881
died July 9th, 1908. Two daughters
and three sons survive her and attest
BY their young womanhood and young
manhood that she did her duty truly as
loving, christian mother.
The funeral services we're held
Monday, at 10 a. m. at the residence
conducted by Rev. NJ K. Thornton
and the interment was mace in Odd
