From the Saturday Erening Post
A farmer who was taking his first long
trip on a railroad train found himself
getting hungry. The train boy came
through and. after some effort, sold the
farmer three bananas for 10 cents.
The farmer peeled the bananas. threw
away the fruit and ate the skins.
Presently the boy came back Want
some more bananas?' he asked.
NO, guess not.
why. wasn't they good?"
''Oh. goods common, I suppose: but
they's too burned much cob about them"

AFRICAN PRINCES
come To NATCHEz

Natchez. Miss, Nov. 16.-At the
Natchez Colored College are two
African princes of royal blood. The
negroes, Frederick and Matthew, ar
rived in Natchez a few days ago and
will attend the Mississippi College
for the colored race. The negroes
were sent from British Central Afri-
ca by missionaries. They will be edu-
Gated in this city and at Booker T.
Washington's school at Tuskegee,
Ala. They boys, aged about fourteen
and sixteen, are in the special care
of Prof S. Fl. c. Owens, of the negro
college.
The boys, owing to the fact that
they came from the heart of Africa
and their father is king of one of the
inland tribes in that land, have at.
tracted considerable attention. They
are typical specimens of their race
one being coal black and the other
of somewhat lighter color. They
both speak English with the accent
of the tribe of Africans to which they
belong.
They are polite and affable and are
studious. They like this country
they say, ard one expressed desire
to make the United States his home
They have made friends with boys
of their own race at the college ant
are unusually alert and studious.

DEMONIAC PLEASANTLY.

Humorous Diversion of the Roman
Emperor Commodus.
Professional BARRIERS are said to have
been introduced into Rome by Menas
from Sicily, of which island he was
praetor in the days of Cicero. Under
the empire their shops In some in
stances became fashionable resorts at
which every luxury of the toilet was
enjoyed and the gossip and news of
Rome and the empire were discussed.
The means, luxury and weaknesses OF
personal adornment therein carried to
excess are amply immortalized In the
pages of Terence. Plautus. Horace
Juvenal and Martial.
Other barber shops were more re-
tired, as we learn from the annals of
the Emperor Commodus. who. having
wearied at times of the wholesale trag-
edies of the Coliseum. wherein armies
engaged in murder mt his savage be-
hest, and being DESTROYS of q little
humorous diversion. used. like the
caliph of Bagdad in the Arabian

forth, accompanied by two or more of
his favorites. and. having hired bar

would place one of his men at the door
to solicit custom.
Having secured a customer. the en-
peror barber would politely affix the
towel and apply the lather, all the time
keeping up a running fire of the latest
jests and little pleasantries until the
customer and himself were almost over
come with laughter. Then the keen
edged razor would slip. and among
regrets and proffers of assistance the
noseless victim would be assisted tc
the rear of the shop. where between
threats and brides he was kept from
making a riot until one or two more
victims were added to the number ant

SWIFT APPLE PACKERS.
Novel Contest At The National
Apple Show at Spokane,
Today.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 16.-With ex-
perts from the Atlantic to the Pacific
contending, a free-for-all apple pack
ing contest for the championship of
the world was commenced this after
noon at the National Apple Show.
The participants are required to pack
the fruit diagonally or in alternate
rows in the standard boxes, which
have a capacity of little more than
a Winchester bushel. Each contestant
is required to pack four such boxes
within forty minutes to score twenty
points for speed, and each additional
minutes consumed will reduce the
score two points. If not finished
within an hour, the packer will be
ruled out. The winner will receive
$100 in gold and a watch charm en-
blematic of the championship.

OLD COUPLE DEAD
RELATIVES EOV
They Left the Snug Fortune Of $780,
600 for kinfoIks to Fight
Over.

Decatur, Ca, Nov. 16.-William
Sprayberry, aged 80 years. and his
wife, So years old, are dead and three
negroes on the plantation are suffer-
ing from ptomaine poisoning.
Because of alleged family differ
ences, the deaths were not reported
to the county authorities and the
bodies were buried at Pantherville, a
small settlement near the Sprayberry
plantation. Reports were circulated
in the neighborhood that the couple
had been poisoned, but after COM
plete investigation, Sheriff Morris, of
De Kalb county, announced that there
was no truth in the rumors.
Sprayberry left a fortune estimated
at 100000. There are no children by
the couple, but numerous relatives
were said to be dividing into two fac
tions.
