WHEN PROFANITY WAS COMMON
Two Good Stories Concerning Weak.
 ness of a Past Generation,

Dean Ramsay could not coyntenance profanity, but he managed to tell some good stories of weakness which af. dicted many in his time:
 "A late duke of Athol had invited q well-known character, writer of Perth, to come up and meet him at Dunkeld for the transaction of some business. The duke mentioned the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctuaily at the appointed time and place. But the duke had forgotten the appoiStment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours. A Highlander pres- ent described the Perth writer's in dignation and his mode of showing 1t by most elaborate course of swear Ing. But whom did he swear atY was the inquiry made of the narrator. who replied: Oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at iairge.' have from a friend also an anecdote which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even to female ears when mixed up with the inter. course of social life. A sister had been speaking of her brother as much addicted to this habit-'Oor John sweers awful. and we try to correct ham; but she added in a candid and apologeuc tone. ma doubt 1t is a great set a1 to conversation

Bet on JeffrieS 2 to 1

Chicago, June BOA scare has been thrown into the colored population of Chicago because of the eagerness of Eastern sport ing men to wager large sums of money on Jeffries at odds of ? to
 Before the influx of the Fest ern money the prevailing odds were 10 to on Jeffries, but now they have gone tO ? to 1 on the Californian. There were some bets made that the fight will not go 20 rounds, while others wag. cred it would go the limit and would be a draw. There were a number of freak bets made, the most absurd being that Jeffries would win in the first round, while another one was that John son would be declared the win her inside of five rounds.
 Despite the gloom which has been cast over them, the colored people are making preparations to celebrate JohnSon's victory.
 lind Johnson, mother of the colored champion, will receive returns after every round. Jack has made arrangement in Reno to have one of his friends tele graph a brief des scription of every round % his Chicago home, which will be a rendezvous for a num- Der of colored persons on the afternoon of the fight. A tele gram was received last night by his mother, in which the color ed champion stated:
 Don't believe anything you see in the newspapers. 1 am in good condition. Will win sure. "

Flaq Display Accounted For.

On a visit to St. Petersburg a vis- itor noticed that on the occasion of the birthday of the czarina there were only one or two flags visible, these be- ing displayed on official buildings. On a later visit. week or two later, be observed that flags were everywhere, the very streets obscured by waving bunting. Why" he asked a friend, do you show a flag now while you did not then?" Well" was the reply, "a police agent came round and said that if did not display one l should be fined 200 rubles. So I hoisted three, to be on the right side. and the others are doing the same"

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER
rhree Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens in Existence, Accord
 ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as a national institution many years ago. the adoption coming about mere N by way of a popular choice It is a common flower all over Europe, but rather more prolific in Germany than in any other of the countries graced by it.
 Botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found. but the plant that Is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser fs said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire 1t for the richness of it's wreath-like circle of outer fiorets and the splen- dors of its deep azure tints as it opens to the sun.
 At one time German scientists at tributed certain medicinal properties to the corn flower, and it's blue blos- homs were used also to some extent in domestic dyeing, but latterly these properties are not so much credited to it.
 Although Germany lays claim to the finest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci. mems of the corn flower. It is said to have been brought to this country first in the ballast of ships in the days antedating the modern ocean flyer, which carries only water bal last In this country it is variously known as the Bachelors Button. Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thimr tees, Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

MINER INJURED AT TRAGEDY SCENE
Draft Through Hole Caused by Allen Suicide Leads
 to Broken Shoulder

As the indirect result of the tragic shooting affair of a few weeks ago, in which Thomas N. Allen murdered his wife and shot himself, Julius Monmon- fer, one of the assistant superintendents at the Miami Copper company, was painfully injured early yesterday morn- ing.
 Monmonier was rooming in the Al len house, in the room directly above the one in which Allen shot himself. The bullet which killed Allen passed through the floor of the room above and out through the roof, tearing a hole of considerable size through the roofing.
 The draft through the hole annoyed Monmonier and taking a lantern, he climbed onto the roof in an effort to patch up the hole. In some unknown manner he lost his footing and fell to the ground, about twenty feet below, fracturing his shoulder blade.
 Monmonier $ injuries were dressed by Dr. Van Horn. He will probably be incapacitated for some time, as the re- suit of the accident.

COCH|SE DOG RANCH
 NEW INDUSTRY
Valley Mexican Will Market Hides of Immense Horde
 of Canines

Conducting dog ranch may not be regarded generally as profitable busi- ness, but nevertheless there is one man out in Sulphur Springs valley who makes a good living at it, says Bis bee paper.
 He is Mexican and herded together on his plot of property over one hun dred canines of various breeds, from settlers to common yaller dogs without a pedigree. He raises them for com mercial purposes, those of better breed being sold to any chance traveller who may happen through and desire one of them. On the other hand, those of common extraction are raised merely for their hides, and once or twice year bunch of them are killed, skinned and their hides shipped to eastern mar, kets, where they bring a good price.
 Dog hides are used in the manufac- ture of many leather articles, on ac- count of their pliable nature, being Used more for gloves than anything else, although sometimes employed in the manufacture of shoes, harness, etc.
 When out in the valley with his scholars the other day, Prof. R. T. Ed munds, of the South Bisbee school, took a group photograph of these dogs, and sixty-two are shown in one view. Misses Kinney and Cunningham, also with the party, snapped views containing nearly as many.
