Big Bill Jernigan, an old comrade of
those days, now known as the Hon.

this story was my reward:

the time Bill and l made faces at each

You remember what Saturday was at
Paradise. Town full of punchers and
miners, the punchers and miners full
Of liquor and devfIment, and the bar
tenders full of business. Bill and l

country are to the effect that an air
ship has been perfected that surpasses
anything of the kind in existence, and
it is expected that fight from Paris

flying machine is the property of an
English company, but was constructed
in France. The announcement seems

A wild coffee plant discovered in
the Congo country is being used with
great success in Java, where it thrives
in ground in which other coffee plants
die or cease to bear. The African
variety is very prolific and the taste
and aroma of the berries improve as
the plants grow older. Overcultiva-
ton, like civilization. seems to have a
de-energizing effect. 1t takes a little
infusion of the wild at intervals TO
keep things going.

The proposed tax on American
motor tourists in England of over
$500. even for visit of few days,
will result in cutting the tight little

gave the heiress to the throne her

honor to herself and happiness to
others. The precedent should serve
as good one for her future reign.
