Bees Protect a Leopard.

From the Wide World Magazine.
IF the lair of a leopard Is known"
stones will generally dislodge the lurker
/ recall one occasion when a leopard
was supposed to be located in a cave
near camp. The guns were placed around
in positions commanding the exit. and a
few stones were then thrown in. There
was no result at first, but as more and
larger stones crashed in there came a
faint humming. and then roar like the
sea under the cliffs. In q moment the
air above the caves entrance grew dark
with-bees! AS one man. sportsmen and
gun bearers fled for the camp. A few
were slightly stung before they could
reach their tents and pull the flaps over
the entrances. which the bees for some
time besieged. Incredible though 1t may
sound, il is the truth that, although the
camp was full of native servants. horses,
etc. none OF those who had remained be-
hind, and were not concerned In the at
tack on the bees cave, were stung, 1t
was considerable time before the bees
beat a retreat, but during all the time
that they stayed in the camp IL was the
tents of their aggressOrs exclusively
round which they angrily buzzed.'

Like the persimmon. the pawpaw is at
its best when it is smeariest. and like
the persmmon. too. the acme of its
lusciousness only comes with the touch
of frost. Sometimes We see pawpaws on
the market. but as the fruit does not lend
itself readily to shipping. such speci-
mems have generally been plucked before
they have received the final benediction,
and the result is that the market variety
adds nothing to the fruits popularity

other day that Is run much on the same
principle. 1t is a car line operating some
ten miles beyond Plymouth and il boasts
of two cars in the summer and one In
the winter. l noticed that the car ran
slowly, but at rare intervals would squirt
ahead for a moment or two at a con-
siderable faster speed. what causes
these bursts Of speed?" l asked the mo-
torman. He grinned. THAT comes when
the other car at the other end of thu
line stops TO let off a passenger" he ex-
planned.

Monroe Has Quit League.

Manager Vandegift of the Helena team refused to play Tues days game unless the guarantee money was paid in advance, says a special to the Gazette. The re- ceipts at the box office were not sufficient to pay this and he re- fused to accept a check on a local bank, which was guaranteed. This possibly ends the Arkansas League season as far as Monroe is con- cerned. Whether some Arkansas town can be found to take the franchise is not known here, al though President Rider is believed to have other plans in view.

RIVER WORK WILL PROCEED.
Congressman Ransdeli Wires That Engineers
 Will fxpedit Work as Rapid as Possible.

As soon as the house met today, says The Monroe News-Star of June %, Representative Alexan der of New York, assisted by Representativ Ransdell of Louisi- ana. made winning fight to make available the balance of money re- maining unexpended on sundry riv- CTS and harbors projects, amounting to $1,154, ,OOO, which the sundry civil act of 1904 provides should revert to the treasury if not used by March l, 1909. A joint reso- lution to that effect was passed by the senate Saturday early in the session.
 Objection to present considera- tion in the senate drove the sup porters of the measure in the house to resort to a suspension of the rules, and they won by nar- row margin, after speeches by Messrs. Alexander and Ransdell.
 The resolution is of mort import ance to projects in Louisiana and Arkansas than any other states. It makes available $1zz, ,l46.4Z for the Ouachita river in Louisiana and Arkansas, and the construc- tion of four of series of nine locks and dams; $9. 9.3O8.o6 on Red river in Louisiana and Arkansas, and $l,914 on Bayou Lafourche. The locks on the Ouachita were placed under contract in 1904 for completion in 1906. but abnormal ly high water stage during the succeeding four years limited the actual construction time to 210 working days or about so days per year.
 This bankrupted the contractors and the contract was terminated in November. 1908. One of the locks is now being completed by hired labor and advertisements for bids for the completion of the other has been issued but on March l, last, the balance of the funds available was not under contract, and therefore work at both locks was suspended.

A well known physician remarks that salt would be one of the most used remedies were it only more costly but being so very inexpens- i've and likewise always in reach, it is usually overlooked. As pre- ventatve of sore throat. a gargle of salt and water night and morn ing is highly recommended; this should be used by all members of a family in wfich there is case of either tonsilitis or diptheria. The addition of few drops of alcohol makes this gargle one which should be used by any person who desires to strengthen naturally weak throat.

A wedding in which Prof. Cleveland
Able. a noted scientist. formerly of this
city. was the bridegroom. has caused a
stir of interest in local social and scien-
tific circles.
The story that came from Philadelphia
today is that Prof. Able. who Is seventy
years of age, married Miss Margaret A..
Percival, aged forty-two years, the cere-
mony having taken place at Philadelphia
yesterday. 1t is also stated that the
scientist met Miss Percival at st. Croix
while on a scientific expedition to the
West Indies. and the friendship which
sprung up between them ripened into
love. with the elimination that they have
been made man and wife.
Prof Able is one of the leading meteor
ologists connected with the United States
weather bureau. He first entered the serv-
ice in 1870 when it was a branch OF the
army under the designation of the "signal
whom Fort Myer Is named. was the first
chief signal officer. Recently he was
assigned to duty at Baltimore. where
he is still stationed.
Some months ago Miss Percival went
to Baltimore on a visit. and Prof. Able
asked. her to become his wife. She con-
scented, and yesterday: wishing a quiet
wedding. they went to the Quaker city.
where the knot was TIED IN the rectory
Of ST. Johns Protestant Episcopal Church
by Rev. Edwin H. Earle. They will re-
side In Baltimore.
When Prof. Able entered the weather
service in 1870 he was. rated as the high
est division officer in charge of the fore
casting and meteorological matters. 1t
was largely through his efforts that the
Monthly International Meteorological Bull
letin was established. giving weather re-
ports from all parts of the worid. He is
the author of many innovations in the
weather service.
The groom was seventy years Of age
last December. One OF his sons, Cleve-
| land Able. jr., is a member of Prof. VIII
lis L. Moore's official meteorological staff,
being assistant editor Of the Weather Re-
view. Another, Truman Able of Stone
| leigh Court, is practicing physician
here. Prof. Able is regarded as an au-
thoYity on the science of the weather
In all parts of the world.
