HIS PLEASURE A LATE ONE.
Probably MT. Hogan Did Not Realize Just What Might Be Made of His
 Expression.

Casey was dead, and to do honor to him the members of the Thirteenth district Tammany organization at tended the funeral in a body, says the New York Press. Slowly and sadly they filed past the coffin and took a last look at their departed comrade. At the door each man paused to shake hands with the sorrowing widow and to murmur few words of condolence. When it came to MT. Hogan's turn, he retained possession of her hand, while he delivered lengthy oration con cerning the good qualities of the de- funct MT. Casey.
 Sure, 'tis plain you knew my hus- band we'll, sir" said the fearful Mrs Casey.
 "Only by sight, ma'am, only by sight," MT. Hogan hastened to ex- plain q never had the pleasure of meetln' him til today"

HONORS WERE WITH FARMER
Mail Carrier Must Have Realized That He Picked Out Wrong Man
 to Have Fun With.

The new mail carrier on the rural free delivery route glanced at the name on the letter box by the road side, stopped his horse, and spoke to the roughly attired farmer with the old slouch hat, who was resting his sun-browned arhs on the gate and looking at him.
 q see," he said, your name is Holiness"
 Yes"
 Beverly G?"
 "Yes, I'm the man that lives here"
 Any relation of Sherlock Holmes?" gravely asked the carrier.
 ''No, sir" answered the farmer, ''but I'm detective enough to know that you're not a very good judge of hu- man nature. You took me for an igno- ramus because I've got my old work ing duds on. I'm Sherlock Holmes enough to look at a mans face and eyes before I size him up as a. Some mail for me? Thanks. Youths Companion.

AeAyY STORM lM STATE.
Little Rock the Center of Severe
 Electrical Phenomenon

Little Rock.-A heavy rain, accom- panied by severe electrical phenome- na, visited the state Saturday after noon and in places the damage wrought was material
 Little Rock was the center of cleo trical disturbances which put street cars and telephones out of commits sion. Several buildings were struck and the street car company's sprink- ling car was practically destroyed by fire.
 William Summers, a negro, who conducted feed store at 1410 West Tenth street, touched live wire that was hanging from his porch and was instantly killed.
 In other sections of the state the storm was equally severe, but aside from wrecking telegraph and tele- phone lines and uprooting trees little damage is reported
 Drouth conditions were relieved by the downpour in many counties and crops were greatly benefited.

The Force of Habit.

One of the campers had done some thing peculiarly idiotic, and the dean said: Dick reminds me of Thomas colt"
 What about Thomas colt?" asked Dick, cheerfully. .
 Why" the dean responded, readily, where I lived in Maine when 1 was a boy an old man named Thomas raised horses. He once put out to pasture a colt, which had been fed from it's birth in a box stall and wa tered at the trough in the yard.
 .The pasture lay across small river, and in the middle of the day the colt swan the stream to go up to the barn-yard for a drink of water."- Youths CompanioR

THE NEW WOMAN Made Over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wreckS greater percentage of Southerners than of Northern people for Southerners use it more freely.
 The work it does is distressing enough in some instances; as an illus tration, woman of Richmond, Va., writes:
 T was coffee drinker for years and for about six years my health was completely shattered. I suffered fear fully with headache and nervousness, also palpitation of the heart and loss of appetite.
 My sight gradually began to fail and finally lost the sight of one eye altogether. The eye was op- restored, then I became totally blind in the other eye.
 My doctor used to urge me to give up coffee, but I was willful and continued to drink it until finally in a case of severe illness the doctor in- sisted that must give up the coffee, so l began using Postum, and in 8 month felt like new creature.
 T steadily gained in health and strength. About month ago I be- gan using Grape-Nuts food and the effect has been wonderful I really feel like new woman and have gained about 25 pounds.
 T am quite an elderly lady and be. fore using Postum and Grape-nuts I could not walk square without ex- ceeding fatigue, now I walk ten or twelve without feeling it. Formerly in reading could remember but little but now my memory holds fast what read.
 Several friends who have seen the remarkable effects of Postum and Grape-Nuts on me have urged that give the facts to the public for the sake of suffering humanity, so, al. though I dislike publicity, you can publish this letter if you like.'

A City Clerks Garden.

A city clerk never misses a chance of expatiating on his garden to his colleagues, who, however, were never taken home to see it, but were under the impression it was of enor- nous size. Five of them resolved to have a look at it, discovered his ad- dress, and called one Saturday after noon to see the hundreds of roses all a-growing and a-blooming. On being taken to the rear of the house, judge of their surprise on seeing back yard about 12 feet by ten feet. One bold spirit ventured that it was not very big.
 "Big!" replied the proud owner, pointing to the sky. Why, man, alive, look at the height of it!"-Chicago Daily Socialist.

The Water Bite.

He was six years old and had never gazed into the mystic lens of mi croscope. Several slides containing animalcula had been displayed to his astonished vision. He was too amazed to make any comment until he came to one slide that seemed more wriggly than any of the others. It was merely drop of water.
 The little fellow gazed at it long time, with all it's nimble particles o1 animal life, and finally exclaimed to his mother:
 'Oh, mamma, now I know what it is that bites you when you drink soda water.

Little Rock.-Reports from over the state show that the Elberta peach season is near at end Eighteen cars have been shipped at Mulberry up to date, and probably three or four more are to go.

INCREASE IN VALUATIONS
Personal Assessment of Little Rock Corporations Exceed S5,O0C,000

Little Rock-A big increase has been made this year in the assess ments of the corporations of Pulaski county and the increase has been made by the corporations themselves. When the time within which corpor ations could file their schedules ex- pired Saturday night, practically ev- cry corporation in the county had filed it's statement and thereby saved itself from the penalty of 50 per cent which Assessor Moore had announced he would assess in accordance with the law on that subject. There are only a few small corporations which failed to assess and the total amount which failed to assess and the total amount of the penalties which may be collected from them will not be large. The assessments exceed five million dollars.
