The Thirsty Veteran.

The pitiful poverty of the army vet.
Grams, on whose behalf Earl Roberts
makes an appeal, has developed in
some OF them subtle keenness in se-
curing for themselves those little lux
uries which want of money prevents
them from obtaining in the ordinary
way. An aged hero of the Crimean
war and Indian mutiry, who resided in
remote village in Scotland, was one
day interviewed by party of gentle
men on an outing. They listened with
interest to the story of the old mans
share In the aforementioned cam
paigns, and, after thanking him pro-
fusely, were about to depart, when the
aged warrior suddenly remarked:
There's another thing, gentlemen,
that can recall to mind "Ah, in
deed! What is that?" eagerly asked
the tourists, expecting to hear a most
interesting reminiscence.
Gentlemen" said the veteran in i'm.
pressive tones. Il weel remember that

Famous Character Is Dead.

An interesting personality has just
passed away at Brighton, England, in
William Oliver, marquis de Leuville.
OF striking though somewhat eccentric
appearance, the marquis was in his
younger days an exceedingly hand
some man. Both the early and latter
part of his life was spent in England,
but for many years he resided in
France and Italy, and was a master
OF the languages of both countries. or
a naturally amiable disposition, he was
quick to resent affront \ skillful
shot. and more skillful swordsman,
he was the hero OF several exciting
duels, while his remarkable encounter
with a certain prince in Hyde Park
some years ago, when he left his car
riage to horsewhip publicly the de-
famer of lady with whom his name
was then associated, is still fresh in
the public memory. AS writer of
verse he was far above the average,
as the several editions of his book.
Entire Nous" will testify. Among the
numerous songs published under his
name perhaps the most successful was
The First Kiss" which ran into some
thing like 100000 copies.

Western Coal Lands.

1t is estimated that already about one.
half of the total area of high-grade
coal lands in the west is under private
control, and only about 30,000,000
acres are left for possible government
control. Prof. Holmes, who has been
conducting the government investiga-
tons, has found that there is an
enormous waste OF fuel on account of
the rejection of lowgrade material.
He says that not less than 50 per cent.
of the natural coal supply is left under
ground and permanently lost. In one
instance in 25-foot vein layer four
feet thick was mined and q feet left
behind; and in an average eight-foot
vein two feet of the low-grade coal is
left behind.-Railway Age.

Painted from Life,

The monk who acts as guide to the
many people that visit the old mis-
sion at Santa Barbara, Cal, is a pic
turesque and interesting figure. In
his brown robe of heavy, coarse mate
rial, rosary hung at the cord belt,
and the cowl thrown back from his
closely cropped head, he is in strange
contrast to the fashionably dressed
visitors. He shows pardonable pride
in the mission and all it's contents
The curiosities which remain from the
time of Mexican rule in California, the
exquisite drawn-work altar cloths and
the mural decorations are pointed out
in a manner approaching reverence.
Although he is occasionally inexact in
his descriptions, he is sincere, and
his naivete is so amusing that it
would be carping, small-souled critic
that would take issue with him.
Concerning one of the paintings in
the church, he once said to a party
of tourists:
This is picture of the Virgin
Mary, painted from life by Murillo."

READY WITH ADVICE

Gentleman Temporarily OF the Water
Wagon Referred DlsparaginsIy
to Object Which Offended
His Sense Of Beauty.

There entered a downtown barber
had climbed down from the water
wagon to make room for those who
desired seats.
He came in and looked about him
genially. The boy came up to him to
take his coat and hat. but he con-
tinued to just look about him and size
things up. He wore good clothes, and
the eight-day growth on his counten-
ance didn't harmoniZe, but II he want
ed shave he didn't seem in any rush
about it. He just looked around.
In the third chair was a man with
one of those big bushy, dropping wal
rus mustaches. That mustache seemed
to catch the eye of the soused one.
He walked over to get better look
at 1t.
"Why dontchuh cut 1t Off" he in
quired Of the barber. Then he put a
similar query to the man in the chair.
Why don't you have him chop it off,
so you'll look like somebody" he sug-
gested.
The man in the chair looked around

he asked.
you know very we'll what I'm talk
in about" says the soused one. I'm
talkin' about that wild grass. Why
don't you have the man go over it
with his scythe?"
The barber was disposed to be good
natured with the visitor. as he seemed
harmless enough. and probably came
in to get work done. Therefore he
made no effort to chase him away.
The stranger went on to observe:
1T wouldn't take a minute for the
man to clip 1t Off"
Say, what are you talking about?"
demanded the one in the chair again.
What do you want with such a
thing anyway" went on the other one
irrelevantly.
The man in the chair merely gave
him look of disgust, but the other
one kept right on: ''I'll pay the man
to clip 1t off for you II you want me
to-"
The owner of the mustache demand
ed once more: Say. fellow, what are
you getting at. anyway"
"Aw," snapped the picked one, you
think l don't know what 1t is, eh?

tell. It's mustache. that's what it
is. Why don't you have it cut OFF,"

Great Water Power in Brazil.

Consul George A Chamberlain Of
Pernambuco sends a comprehensive
description of the Paulo Alfonso fails
and the San Francisco river, situated
in that part of Brazil. The falls are
230 miles from either Pernambuco,
which has a population of 100000, or
Bahia, with 100000 people. The aver
age volume of the river is 1000 cubic
meters Zone cubic meter-35.316 cubic
feet per second, and between Jatoba
and Piranhas, a distance of about 65
miles, the fall is 756 feet, 400 of which
takes place in the rapids, extending
about Is miles. This vast undeveloped
water power will become in time the
nucleus of great industrial circle. A
new cotton mill is being erected near
Penedo. and there are a few other
small factories using this power, but
these little establishments are almost
nothing compared to the industries
which the great river should foster.
