A Strange Animal
Found by Saff0rdife

Tuesday afternoon about three
o'clock, Henry Clifford, The well
known freight man at, the local
depot became thirsty, and went to
the cistern at the section house 10
draw pail of water. In attempt,
ing to raise the bucket, something
struck against il and held it tight.
Henry looked down in the clstern
to see what was holding the bucket
and at the same time pulled on
the rope, when to his astonished
gaze their appeared u body With
Jumps upon it and of various colors.
The water took on a pea green hue
and emitted sparks like an electric
current on rampage. Hastily
pulling the bucket TO the top,
Henry started, bucket IN hand, at
a 2:30 gait for the depot. ArrIv
ing there, he depositen the bucket
in the agents Office. Operator
Wardlaw started to get drink,
when he was startled out of
years growth by an unearthly
shrek coming from Henry.
, In u breathless tone Henry de-
clared the water unfit for drinking
purposes. After Henry had some
what recover his composure he ex-
planned that be had discovered
some terrible-looking animal that
was making its home in the Iall-
load cistern. His announcement
caused great excitement, and sum-
monlng to his help the employees
of the railroad and several by
standers, and armed with piece
of round iron about 20 feet long,
the crowd went to the cistern.
Henry lowered his bar of iron aud
after many strenuous jabs into the
animals body, declared he had
killed it. Every one drew near
as Henry slowly and nervously
drew the animal to surface. II
was not quite dead and in its last
writings struck the sides of the
cis,ern, making ratiliug sound.
Finally, with one st'oug pull,
Henry landed the terrifying mon
Stroslty out OF the clslern and on
the ground.
A coroner's jury was selected
from among the by stapders and Il
post mortem examination was
held which resulted ia the discov-
cry that Henry's strange animal
was a section Of rusty chain.

| BOOST FOR TEDDY's BARBER.
Appointed to an Authorship in Place
of White Man.

From a BARRIERS chair to an aud
itorship in the navy department is a
long stride, but it seems a Washing
ton, d. c., negro has made it, He was
boosted on his way by the powerful
hand of President Roosevelt, and
when the negro went in a white man
had to get out of the way for him.
The negro barber, William Dulaney
by name, was carried on the govern
ment pay rolls as a laborer at 500 a
month, and his duties were those of
messenger and barber to the presi-
dent. So carefully and Sticky did
William scrape the presidential chin
that the presidential heart warmed
towards him and resolved to reward
him for his highly satisfactory ser
vices. William was told, therefore,
to put aside his razor and lather
brush and go over to the navy build
ing and take the desk, pen and ink
that the white man had been using
and thereafter draw salary of ST.
coo a year. Republics may be I'M
grateful, but the presidents of some
of them are not.

ASA GAMBLER OF ATLANTA HAS
RECOME MULTI-MILLIONAIRE.
The Great Fortune That Has Been
Built Up on COcO-COla. Ev-
erybOdy Has Helped.

The man who drinks an occasional
glass of coco-cola costing five cents
probably never stops to think that
he has helped build up fortune now
estimated variOusly at 100000 to
S1O.OOO,OOO, but that is the way
Atlantans are estimating the prop
erty now in the possession and con-
troll of Asa G. Gambler, president Of
the company.
Mr.. Gamblers movements in At
lanta are watched like those of the
Goulds and the Vanderbilts in New
York. 1t is not generally known
that he has valuable real estate in
vestments in Chicago, Philadelphia
and even PARKWAY Los Angeles, but
he is still accommodating them and at
the same time lie goes on buying up
all the important Atlanta real estate
that gets on the market.
The other day he picked up a lit
tie seven-story brick and stonestruc-
ture in the center of the city for a
matter of 100000 or so. Specula-
ton at once became rife as to what
he was going to do with it. First
it was to become a theatre, then a
hotel, and then q department store.
The truth is Mr. Gambler has not de
cided himself what he will do with
it.
Just a day or two before he bought
a theatre on Marietta street for $8O,-
coo. 1t so Happened that somebody
else wanted the property, and when it
was found Mr.. Gambler had secured it
wanted it more than ever. In less
than q week Mr.. Gambler had turned
it over. clearing $4,000 on the deal.
Mr.. Gambler is president of the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
"A recently organized state bank with
canital of 100000. and offices IN

ON "FIVE CENTS A GLASS" RAISE MOBILES FOR GIRLS
D'ARMOND SUGGESTS NEW USE
FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Grow Titled Bipeds for American
Girls Is Proposed on Floor of
House of Representatives.

In the course of a discussion in the
lower house of congress of the situa-
ton in the Philippines Mr.. Dear
mond of Missouri, referring, as he
said, to the failure of the Filipinos
ito accomplish anything, suggested
"a useful purpose to which the Phil
ippines may be devoted He in
quired, amid laughter and applause,
why not raise in the Philippines,
instead of importing, the necessary
quantam of barons, dukes and counts
and other titled bipeds?" In that
case, he said there would be a do
nestle industry organized against
which there could be no objection.
There would be no trouble" he
said, ''in negotiating with our home
made dukes. We could fix our own
tariff rates and determine what we
should pay for the privilege of eX-
porting to the Philippines such of
our daughters as we desire to part
with and to accompany with right
handsome dot" He asked further
why contribute all our millions to
those titled gentlemen in Europe in
order to dispose of our American
daughters in order to make them a
countess or some other sort of titled
lady? 1t would be cheaper, he said,
to get the titled gentlemen from the
Philippines and in harmony with the
protective policy of the republicans.
''Now, as it is at present" he said,
"there is an export duty on these
American girls sent to foreign parts. -
That, he declared, was contrary to
the provisions of the constitution,
"but," he asked, what is the consti-
tuition when it comes to getting a
title into the family for a lfew hun
dred thousand dollars? Let us go
into the industry of raising noblemen
in the Philippines. he said amid
Laughter. The climate CT the islands,
he thought. would foster the growth
OF that kind of product" They could
be had in great variety.
Granted the original stock, he
said. Eve could make the titles as
other people have made the titles"

THE POOR MILLIONAIH5S
THEY SELL THEIR COSTLA
YACHTS TO RAISE MONEY.
Wealthy Victims of the Panic Are
Forced to Rid Themselves OF
Expensive Toys.

AS a result of the money stringen-
cy the strange feature never before
encountered is presented of a bar
gain counter sale of yachts by New
Works millionaires. More than $4,-
600. 900 worth of the largest pleas
ure vessels of the city's wealthiest
inhabitants are now on the market
at greatly reduced prices. That the
tremendous expenditures incident to
the maintenance and operation OF
steam yacht will keep ashore many
New Workers who formerly took to
the sea in their own craft each year
cannot be doubted. If present condl-
tions continue it is likely that sac
rifice of automobiles will come next.
At present more than fifty of the lar
gest yachts owned in New York are In
the market, an indication of the de-
sire of the citys rich to retrench.
They run in size from a 3OO-toot
ocean-going yacht to the 70-foOt rae
ing sloop, and in price from 100000
for the former to $4,000 for the lat
ter-a mere fraction in each case OF
the original cost and present value
Most of the yachts are offered at
sacrifice constituting a significant in.
dication of the present poverty OF
New York's milHonaires, and many
of them contain decorations in the
shape of rugs, pictures and furniture
valued at many times the price asked
for the boats. That the throwing o
more than 100000 worth of these
craft on the market at present is al
indication of the pitiful plight of the
poor millionaire is evidenced by the
fact that the list of owners anXiou.
to secure a few pennies for their pal
atial pleasure crafts comprises sncf
names as Gould. Vanderbilt Aston
Leeds. Billings and others heretofore
supposed to be beyond the pinch Of
