Bio Things in the House.

By sticking very close to busi- ness the House was enabled to get through with two very important measures as well as dispose of an i'm pcrtant resolution. It was strictly Big Things" day in that body, as no routine matter was considered aside from some petitions sent up just after the House convened.
 The most important matter, perhaps, was the passage of the bill by MT. Morris of Cleburne, providing for work ing the convicts on the public roads of the state under the supervision of the various county judges. The bill passed by vote of 63 to D. which in- dicates that it should pass the Senate without particular trouble. The chief features of the bill are that it affects only short-term convicts-that is, those on five-year sentence and under; leaves the adoption of the plan option al with the county; places the di- rection of the convicts strictly under the Jurisdiction of the county judge, who is to name whatever wardens, road experts or other officers he deems necessary for carrying on the work limits the time to working con- StSSo tO iV hOui PCI udy anu DCt"CCh sunup and sunset, and gives the county judge the right, with the con- sent of the prisoner under indictment, but not yet convicted, to allow such prisoner to work on the roads in advance of his trial. allowing him .>foper credit therefor. which amount is to be refunded in case of acquittal or applied on the sentence if finally convicted, but at all times avoiding the necessity ia prisoner lying in jail If he cares to take advantage of the oportunity to work out his prospec- tive sentence in advance.
 The other measure, considerably de bated and finally adopted. was the Seamaster amendment to the Warnock banking bill. provinding for the de. positors' guarantee feature, some what modified from the feature as embodied in the Oklahoma banking law. Mir. Seamaster, Mir. Combs and MT. Oliphant particularly favored the adoption of the amendment, while Mir. Vim very strenuously opposed it. The amendment was finally adopted with only ten dissenting votes.

 There was a lively round over the pistol carrying bill by Senator Rob ertson. The bill is designed to pro- hibit the carrying of any concealed weapons, but members of the House including the speaker, were of the opinion that the bill is little better than the present law, unless amend ed so as to place the burden of proof upon the defendant, where he is charged with carrying a pistol and seeks to evade conviction by show ing that the said weapon is such as is used in the army and navy.

DUELING m ITALY.
How the Count of Turin Came to Fight
Prince Henry Of Orleans.

How the Count of Turin Came to Fight
Prince Henry of Orleans.
The greatest duel Of modern days in
Italy was that between the Count Of
Turin and Prince Henry Of Orleans.
It came about In curious man
ner. Prince Henry had insulted the
Italian army after the battle Of Adowa
and one day received a telegraphic
challenge to duel signed "Nictor En-
manuel" The challenge was accept
ed. and thus Crispi. who was prime
minister came to know of the crown
princes impulsive action and inter-
fered But" said King Humbert hts
father. "how can it be stopped? Our
honor is how involved" Crispi thought
a moment and then exclaimed: Il have
it. The Count of Turin is Victor En-
manuel also!" And thus he WAS the
one who fought.
This WAS followed by one of those
genial practical jokes which convused
Europe. France at that time hated
Italy and never lost an opportunity to-
sneer at her. 1t must be explained
that in Rome there was always at car
nlval time characteristic figure of a
little old man with an immense sword
riding a donkey who was a caricature
of the age OF chivalry and was called
General Mannaggia In Rocca."
One day in the French papers ap-
peared an imposing announcement that

glove at the feet Of the entire French

MEAT IN AFRICA.
When the Butcher Murders a Bull the
People Get Beet.

Travellers in Africa find the standard
sf living somewhat different from
what they are accustomed to at home.
Mary Hall In her book, "A Woman's
Trek From the Cape to Cairo" throws
4 strong light upon the condition Of
market and kitchen In British Central
Africa:
When the native butcher proposes to
kill an OK, notice to that effect IS sent
round to the white people on the pre-
vious day. Once they were apprised
Of the fact by the following startling
announcement: "a bue will be MUIR
dered tomorrow morning at 6 a. m"
This cold blooded crime. so carefully
premeditated. even to the exact hour,
was, however, not committed, as the
next morning a second notice was is
sued as follows: "The bule ran away
this morning so was not murdered"
But this was an exceptional case.
I heard one story which is so char
acteristic of the native that repeat It,
, The man who related 1t told me that
the incident occurred when he was on
journey and was suffering from a
bad attack Of fever. One evening he
Sancied he would like some eggs and
told his boy to get two and boil them
lightly.
After a time they were brought to
him as hard as bullets. He told the
! boy he must get some more and boil
them less; but, alas, these were brought
to him in the same condition. and the
poor fellow wished he had never or
dered them at all.
Being unwilling to give in, he made
another attempt and told his boy,
"Come to me when the water boils."
The boy did so.
"Now," said his master, put the
eggs in, and when you have counted
fifty take them out"
The native method of reckoning Is to
count up to ten and then begin again,
arriving at the total by the number OF
the tens counted. The sick man heard
the boy start fair and get as far as
four tens, when a second boy inter
fered and questioned whether it were
the third or fourth ten.
This started discussion, and as
they could not agree 1t was decided
to begin all over again. Meanwhile
the eggs were still boiling and getting
harder and harder This was about
the last straw, and. Ill as the man
felt, he was compelled to get out OF
bed and put summary end to the
cooking operations.
