What the Stafford Guardian has to say:
 Truly Nat Reiss is the carnival king. His shows are truthfully advertised and honestly performed. Every promise made by Mir. Reiss has been fulfilled. all of his shows are as he said, clean, amusing and in- structive, and the large and appreci- ative crowds who have attended the carnival in Stafford speak in nothing but the highest terms of all the various attractions. N
 The old Plantation. or negro min- strels. is the best ever witnessed in this or any other town.
 Gay Paree. with it's host of pretty girls. pleased every one with their songs. dances and pleasing poses.
 The ossified man is certainly a won- der and everybody went to see him
 The human butterfly keeps 'em ali guessing and is a pretty exhibition.
 The glass blowers tent is crowded all the time. Everything they make they give away.
 The dog and pony show, with the best troupe of trained dogs and ponies in the world, delighted every man, woman and child who attended this show, and Sleepy Tom. the pony with human brains. does everything but talk.
 The merry-g -go-round and Ferris wheel, as well as the fighting lions, at tracted d goodly share of patronage, and all together everybody is having a good time this week at the Stafford carnival. and any time Nat Reiss and his carnival want to come back they will be as welcome as the flowers of spring.

POLYGAMY SUITS
 AFRICAN WOMEN
WOMEN OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE SYSTEM OF PLURAL MATING6 MORE WIVES, LESS WORK.

| Social conditions in southern Nigeria,
 as described by our sprightly. contem.
 porary, the Geographical Journal, are
 not such as would excite enthusiasm
 among the suffrsgettes of the Equal
 Rights party. But it cannot be denied
 that man in that favored country oc-
 cupies position of influence and ease
 Polygamy is favored by man and wom-
 an alike. The husband spends his time
 lettering upon the fowery beds of ease,
 while his wives cook his food, fetch the
 water, go to market and look after the children. The simple fashions which prevail in that warm climate enable the
 people, gentlemen and ladies alike, to
 dispense with the services of tailors
 and seamstresses, of matters and milli- ! ners, of shoemakers and haberdashers.
 The life of the Algerian gentleman is
 not strenuous nor are his duties arduous
 He spends much of his time sitting in
 the "palaver house" Ca resort probably corresponding with our clubs), and it is
 to this place that one of the faithful spouses fethes his meals. If one of the ladies of the family complains of too
 much work, all that is necessary for her
 relief is that another helpmate should
 be added to the establishment. If there
 is any fault finding or any featuring to be done, the ladies find fault with each other and scold each other, but the
 good man of the house escapes. We
 would suppose that with considerable number of ladies in the home it would
 not be ordinarily necessary for the hus-
 band to go abroad to seek palaver
 house. He might find that at home.
 Polygamy, our contemporary de- clares, is greatly favored by the ladies of Nigeria upon the theory that many
 hands make light work. If there is only one wife she must cook, attend to the house work, look after the babies, wait upon the husband, go to market, run errands and do chores. Fortunately there is no washing and ironing. If there arc two wives these duties are di. vided among them. If there are a dog en, none has much to do, and the wives are company for each other and can play bridge while the good man of the house is at his club. After the estab. lishment is once established, the cost of maintenance is not excessive. There are no tailor made gowns to be bought, no "Merry Widow" hat bills, no bijou. terie, parlor ornaments or bric a. brac. Conditnions are simplicity itself. The first cost of wife is to be considered. Where wives are 80 useful they are in considerable demand, and the parents of young ladies ask some kind of hon. orarium before they will consent to part l with their daughters. There are no suffragettes in southern Nigeria, no women 8 clubs, no literary circles, no | Daughters of the Revolution, nor daugh- l ters of any of the other various things with which we, in our more complex | civilization, arc familiar. How the | southern Nigeria gentlemen gets along with considerable number of mothers in-law our contemporary does not tell | us. But there does not seem to be any | servant girl problem in that happy land.

The Chimney.

Where wood Is much used as fuel according to Suburban Life. considera ble soot collects in the chimneys. and 1t is source of many fires. The chin ney should be burned out once a year at least and the work done on a damr day. or it may be swept out. A chim. ney is burned out by placing bundle of straw or similar material in the bot. tom of the fiue and firing It. To sweep out chimney small metal ball about four inches in diameter is hung on 6 thin rope and pulled up and down in the chimney until 1t Is clean. When not too high, the chimney can be clean ed by brush on jointed pole.

Some birds. like all children, like to play, and Australia and New Guinea produce the bower bird" which builds regular playhouses. These houses are not part of their nests. but are con- structed usually in the shape of GOV. cred archways of little boughs two or three feet long. eighteen inches high and about as wide. They use these houses simply for their games. as if they were clubhouses. Generally these piayhouses are decorated with bright cOlored shells and feathers, just as children decorate their play yhouses.

WON THE VERDICT.
Ths Jury Did its Best to Make oeod
 Uncle Sam's Word.

Uncle Sam's Word.
 General Tom Edgar. the first white child born on Galveston island (his birthday was in June. 1S30, once mar rated his experience as a juror in the case of negro on trial for stealing a mule. It was in 1865, while United States soldiers were still in charge at Galveston. The negro pleaded not guilty. but the testimony was pretty clear against him. His lawyer. ignor- ing the testimony, based his defense upon the assertion that the negro could not possibly be guilty.
 ''Is it not fact" be said. "that the federal government promised to every freed man two mules and sixty acres of landf No man can deny 1t, because 1t is fact. My client has not receiv- ed his promised sixty acres of land. He has not received his promised span of mules. He has indeed got but one mule, as these witnesses have testified. and the United States still owes him another mule and sixty acres of land. I leave it to you, gentlemen" he said. turning to the jury, If the facts do not prove conclusively that my client is not guilty of stealing this mule and cannot under the circumstances have been guilty"
 That argument" said General Ed gar. "tickled us so that we actually returned verdict of not guilty. don't believe the darky ever did get the other mule and the sixty acres. but we did all we could to make Uncle sam's word good."-Success Magazine.

 "The terrapin is certainly to be in teresting, whatever it tastes like. It will have funny little claws, pieces of fuzzy skins and large Jumps of veal to get one's teeth into every onco in a while.
