South equivalent to forty-nne quarts of
chestnuts
But that meant nothing until North's final mea-
surfing. Now the excitement was intense and when
John had measured thirty quarts it seemed as if
the girls would go wild.
Thirty quarts and the from our
hicl1ory-nuts make forty-seven Two more quarts
will tie them! Oh, why didn't stay just FIVE
minutes longer at that last tree Polly?" said Jessie
Folsom, in despair.
How many quarts were there in that scattered
remnant of pile? That was the question in each
mind No one could guess, and nothing remained
but to endure Johns maddening deliberation.
The girls crowded around the old man until
he had barely room in which work. 1t seemed
as II he were slower and clumser than ever.
Hurry, hurry, Johnl" they kept urging.
The old fellows eyes twinkled, and, if the truth
were known he was no less excited than the con-
testants
But all things have an end and at last he had
gathered in every stray chestnut in sight Straight
enng up, he held in his hand partly filled measure
and estimating by the markings on the inside the
fractions OF quart, announced what every one
by this time had known: "thirty-one and half for
the North young ladies'.
"HurrahP' cried thirty excited voices from the
South end of the steps. Caps were flung in the air,
and such hugging and dancing went on among
that ubiant contingent that you might have thought
bedlam had been let loose.
Hurrah! Won by a pintl Hurrah for Old
South" And Catharine Stearns and Alice Gordon
ran over to their dormtory to up the Soars
flag.
In the meantime Miss Caldwell was preparing
the official to be handed to the leaders Of
the respective contestants.
It's perfectly disgusting" said Jessie Folsom,
struggling to hide her disappointment. They act
like an infant-school."

This announcement caused an immediate rally
of the North girls while their rivals were too busy
celebrating their victory and congratulatng one
another to take much notice.

Miss Caldwell stepped forward to investigate

NEGROES DIE IN SWAMP
ELEVEN WHO. KILLED TWO
 WHITE MEN DISAPPEAR.
Posse Returning From Chase De- clares the Blacks Were Swal-
 lowed Up by Quicksand.

Clarksdale, Miss, Dec. sd.-That the eleven negroes in the band which terrorized this section for two days and precipitated race war in which two were killed and three fatally wounded have perished in the Black Bayou swamp is the belief expressed by members of the posse who are re- turning to- their homes.
 The negroes were trailed by blood hounds and their footprints were fol lowed to the sedge of a swamp and there all was lost The bayou com prises many acres of treacherous bog filled with deep pools of slime and Quicksand. AS there was no evidence of-a boat, the officers came to, the conclusion that the negroes had either been drowned or swallowed up by the quicksand.
 The few dry spots are infested with moccasin snakes and other reptiles of the most dangerous kind. The bog is hung with thick vines so that it is impossible to pass through certain ,gnots.
 The negroes killed two white men and exchanged hundreds of shots be- fore theY-were run down.

MEX|CANS TAKE
 MOUNTAIN PASs MALPAso, CONSIDERED STRONG HOLD, CAPTURED BY BOLD
 RUNNING ATTACK.
REBELS SEVERELY ROUTED
lnsurrectos Driven Out After They Attack Federal Troops in Canyon Two Cthsr Towns Taken
 by RevoIutionists.

Galveston, Tex, DeCN.1-The can ture of Malpaso, the modaGaf~Song, hold of the revolutionists in C17 hua, and the death of Colonel GuE l man from wounds sustained in an other recent battle, are confirmed in messages from private interests in Chihuahua.
 The rebels were routed when Gen. eral Escuedero, with a detachment of less than 100 men, attacked Malpaso. It is reported that IA Diaz soldiers were killed in the attack. The rebels abandoned their stronghold with even smaller loss.
 Escuedero and his men marched from near Pedernales into the noun. tainous rendezvous of the rebels di. rectly toward the fortified Malpaso, or "bad pass"
 As the troops approached the pass they were fired upon by rebels with machine guns and rifles. Undsunted, Escuedero ordered his meager force to advance, and a running skirmish landed the federals in the pass. The rebels retreated through the noun. tains.
 Death Blow to Revolution.
 Officials in Mexico City say the talk. ing of Malpaso was a death blow to the insurgents, as that was always considered the strongest position they held, and by its capture the govern ment would be able to supply its forces operating toward Ciudad Guer' rero. It is believed the next encoun. ter will occur at Guerrero.
 A special from Cordoba, state of Vera Cruz. said an attack on that city momentarily was expected. The telegram said a body of 100 armed men attacked and took San Felipe de la Punta and Omealca, two mountain towns. during the day.
 According to the dispatch, the gov ernment offices were footed and arms were taken from private persons The l two towns mentioned each have abont 500 inhabitants.
