Last August Aunt Rhinocolura Betz met with serious mishap. She was going along Main street, which is one of Betzville's leading thoroughfares, when Sim Dwiggs' yellow hound dog went insane with the heat and dashed into Aunt Rhinocolura and bit her on the leg. By the greatest good luck the dog bit her on the wooden leg in stead of on the other, or Betzville might soon have had one of the swell est funerals in its history. As it was, Aunt Rhinocolura hurried home and cauterized the wooden leg, and hoped for the best, but the dog died and it's port came back that the dog had had the rabies, and that the only way 70 save Aunt Rhinocolura's life was for her to come to the city and take . Pasteur treatment. Unfortunately L. s would have interrupted the garden s9- cial that was to be given at Au..t Rhinocolura's house, but it came odt right enough, for Uncle Ashdod Clute when consulted, said that as the wooden leg was not integrally part of Aunt Rhinocolura it would not be necessary for all of Aunt Rhinocolura to go to the city to take treatment. He said it would only be necessary to send the wooden leg. So Aunt Rhi- nocolura did that.
 AS soon as the leg was On its way Aunt Rhinocolura called in Bildad Gubb who is our leading carpenter and cabinet maker, and gave him an

Carpets Made of Paper.

In Halmstad, Sweden, Pontas Holm strom is about to start spinning mill for making yarn out of paper. Such mills already exist in Germany ana France. So far the manufacture ol rugs and carpets seems to be the best practical use of this new paper yarn. It is said that people in Sweden, es' pecially in the provinces of Ostergot land, are already making carpets witn paper weft. Narrow rolls of paper tape are used. but this. of course, U not spun.

order for another leg. She explained that she wanted one abou. size eight, and then she said she would like it ever-so-much if he could make her a summer weight leg this time. She said the hickory one she had had was a good strong limb, but almost too heavy for summer use, and asked him if he could not make a lighter one not too light, just about medium weight, something she could wear comfortably until time to put on win ter legs.
 Bildad thought 1t over and then said he thought he had piece of wood in his shop that would be the very thing, and that it would make a neat and serviceable leg-some- thing stylish and light. but still guar anteed to wear we'll. He said it was piece of willow that he was saving to turn potato mashers out of on his lathe, but that he was willing to sac rifice that aspiration and make a leg of it. So he did
 When he delivered the leg, Aunt Rhinocolura retired into her own room and tried it on, and she was very much delighted with it. There were a few alterations necessary, but not many. It was little too long in the waist, if we may use the term, and made her poke up into the air on the left side, but Bildad easily reme- died that, and then Aunt Rhinocolura said 1t was the most comfortable leg she had ever worn.
 That was a very damp summer, and very busy one for Aunt Rhinocolura. she was on her feet in the yard or the street nearly every minute of the day, and she never thought of wear ing a rubber shoe on her willow leg. In fact, she hardly gave her willow leg thought until one night when she was retiring and happened to look at the leg, and then she saw it was breaking out in buds. By morning 1t had sprouted so much that she had to trim 1t of with her nail scissors. Every morning after that she had to manicure her wooden leg before she could put 1t on. and one week when she stayed in bed for three days with the neuralgia, the leg got such a start on her that she had tn have Sally, her maid. take it

ANSWERS FOR THE ANXIOUS.

HENRY-There seems to be little doubt that Mars is inhabited, but you need not let 1t worry you greatly. The belief that the planet is inhabited is based upon the peculiar lines which are termed canals" Science, as usual. throws up its hands and quits when 1t Is asked to tell what those canals are for. It is indeed difficult to imagine whole world interlaced with canals. and one shudders to con- template the condition of the air there, with all the men working on the canals and swering at the mules. A more plasible theory is that these crisscross lines are clothes lines. We do not know which day is Monday on Mars, but 1t may be found that the lines appear more numerous on that | day.
 HAPPY THOUGHT-While your de. sire to send your last springs bonnet to the heathen shows a charitable i'm. pulse that is laudable, we cannot con. scientiously advise you to do so. The heather ladies are wandering about in darkness. groping for the higher life which we enjoy to talk about. but we do not believe last springs hat is go. ing to be milestone on the path of the uplift. We, too, shudder at the thought of people so benighted that they will eat stewed dog, but while we are willing to endeavor to induce them to stop eating their dogs and be. gin paying taxes on them, we cannot consent to further uplift which will attach them to habit-back skirts ell bow sleeves, long gloves, bridge whist Russian tea, matinees, trusts, politics and other things which take up so much time that civilized folk have no chance to go to church.
 ELI BUDD-You are correct in vou, belief that Shakespeare was not the author of Why Did She Leave Her Happy Home?" which was presented in your town last week We have fl on good authority that Mir. Shake. speare has not written a new play for quite while.

High school Students Give Play

3 The Twelfth Night" was presented
at the High school last night by the
students and was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the audience that packed
both floors of the auditorium. The
hard work that the cast has been do
ing for the past three months was full
ly shown in the finished performance
OF last night.
There was nothing amateurish in the
work of the entire cast last night and
Miss John, the director, is to be con-
graduated on the success she has
scored with her young players.
The conception Of Malvolio by George
Cox differed materially from that of
Sam Clabaugh in the Blackfriars. Mr..
Coxs portrayal of the character
showed originality and an intelligent
study of the part Arthur Herman as
Sir Andrew Augecheek was very good,
especially in the drinking scene with
Sir Toby Belch. Among the ladies the
palm goes to Miss. Fay Murphy, who
played Maria. Miss Murphy was a win
ming personality and her work in the
part of the demure maid was artistic.
The production was we'll staged, the
work being done by High school stu
dents, both the stage setting and
scenery shifting. The applause was
loud and prolonged at the final cur
tain and calls were frequent after
each scene. The High school has a
reputation for producing successful
plays but 1t Is thought that this Is
the most successful.
The cast is as follows:
Orsino, Duke of Illyria, Tom Turney
Sebastian, brother of Viola, Edwin
Tor1erson.
Sir Toby Belch, uncle to olivia, Aller

Gadsden. June 1.-(Special)-A move
ment has been started looking to the
opening of Wills creek to navigation
from the Coosa river to the plants of the
Southern Iron and Steel company. The
creek is a large stream, and with COM
paratively little work in the way of
dredging a channel of sufficient depth
for barges could be opened to the steel
plant and make 1t possible to get much
of the heavier freight to the plant. Con-
gresham Burnett is to be asked to in.
troduce a bill at once before Congress
asking for the appropriation necessary
to make the preliminary survey. As this
would be a direct feeder for the river, 1t
is probable that favorable action will
be secured.
A smooth thief, who evidently makes
a profession of robbing dental offices,
entered the offices of DR.. J. R. Walker
and DR.. r. F. Thornton and carried away
gold used for filings, crown work and
other articles of value. The loss to the
two dentists is considerable. So far no
