THEY WATCH YOU IN BERLIN.
And It Is Sometimes Convenient When
lookinu Up a Friend

Il had no idea that they kept such
an espionage ever strangers in Berlin
until a friend of mine had occasion to
look up someone there" said q travel
er We had come up from Vienna,
and as my friend was in the diplomatic
service we called at the embassy.
while there he happened to think
of another friend, an American who
had gone to Berlin about three years
before to represent an American con-
Germ, and wondered how he could get
a trace of him.
Nothing is easier said tine EN-
bassy secretary. Just wait moment
He wrote note and handed 1t to
messenger.
I'VE shall know all about your
friend in fifteen minutes he said.
Sure enough within that time the
messenger reappeared with an answer.
From it the secretary read that So
and-sO had arrived in Berlin on such
date three years previous, that he
lived at a certain address. that he had
gone the week before to a little town
in tine interior but that he was expect
ed back within three days.
We'll, he turned up on the day the
police said he would be back. and we
had dinner with him."-New York Sun.

Rivers of Damascus.

The situation Of Damascus is re-
stands isolated on an
oasis of the vast desert which every
where hens her in. You may see from
Damascus the sunset first touch with
purple the low western hills twenty five
miles away. These hills mark the be-
ginning Of the great desert-beyond
them there is nothing but rolling
waste and the long roads to Palmyra
and Bagdad. The permanence and
presence of two rivers, which have con-
verted this spot Of the dreary, desc
late and uninhabited desert into
smiling and we'll watered plain. The
Pharpar approaches only within seven
miles Of Damascus, but by means of
canals and aqueducts sends its life
giving waters to the gardens of the
city.
The Abana is the stream from which
the city's main supply Of water is OBJ
tanned. Minerva-like, it springs full
born from the base Of a perpendicular
rock at Ain Filth, in the heart Of the
Anti-Lebanon, and runs a course Of
ten miles in a gorge, a large river
twenty to thirty feet wide and four feet
deep, it's waters always fresh and ice
cold, casting out branches everywhere,
permeating every nook and corner Of
the city until, as one has said, Liter
ally there is scarce a street bazaar,
khan, courtyard or dwelling which
has not it's marble or stone fountain
filled with running water
supplied by the Abana itself" Thus
the Abana, not fruitlessly wasting her
waters on that thirsty land, saves them
in her narrow gorge till she can fling
them we'll out on the desert, and ex-
pends all her life at once in the crea-
tion of a single city.-Biblical World.

Iivino In Dancer Zones.

Whenever there is an earthquake
or volcanic eruption at some tradi-
tionally disturbed point Of the
earths surface. wonder is expressed
that the inhabitants persist in re-
turning to the zone of danger to re-
build their homes. Century after
century men have periodically been
driven away with loss of life only to
return again to the slopes of Vesu-
vius. The lessons Of one generation
are never learned by another. The
ties that bind people to the home
place are too strong to be broken by
even a cOnvulsion Of nature.
Close to Washington is an in
stance of similar tenacity. The lit
tie town of Port Deposit, Md, lies
within the gorge of the Susquehanna
at a point where the high waters Of
winter and spring are practically GER
tain to cause damage. Year after
year Port Deposit has been swept by
floods Just now it is emerging from
timated. 100000. Yet Port Deposit
will be rebuilt in the same place,
Just as it has been rebuilt in the past,
and as it will probably always be re-
built after each fresh disaster. And
this despite the fact that Immediate
ly behind the town is a plateau on
which it could be located with per-
feet security. For the sake of con-
venience of access to the river shore
the inhabitants prefer to set their
dwellings within the zone of certain
danger.
Here and there throughout the
world are ruined, deserted cities,
overwhelmed by great catastrophies,
or abandoned by their dwellers un-
der stress of some great natural
force, such as the failure Of a water
supply. But far more numerous are
the living cities against which the
elements have Surged for generations
in vain. The human love of loca-
ton is stronger even than earth
uuakes and noOdS.-Washingto Star.

An Intelligent Echo.

Echoes" remarked the great trav-
eler, are queer things. They're queer
for two reasons-their cause and the
vast difference in their sounds. Science
has explained why there are echoes,
but it can't tell why one should rever-
berate with bass tones in response to
a shrill tenor yell, while another re-
verse this or responds naturally"
Il reckon you've heerd number o
echoes?" hazarded the young man
whose furtnest trip from home was a
distance of thirty-nine and half
miles.
Rather! recall one in Switzerland;
the echo rolled for just four seconds
no more, no less. Then there's one in
the Pyrenees that jumps six times,
first loud and harsh, then low and soft,
then loud again, and so on. There's
one in the western part of Germany
that holds a full sentence of seven
words before releasing a sound, thus
rivalling a certain echo in Afghanis-
ute and a half have elapsed"
I'D like to near q few of en- said
the home staying chap with fine show
of wistfulness.
"Of course, you would" responded
the traveller encouraging. There are
few things in the world more interest
ing than a good echo"
You're right" said the other
thoughtfully Il amt even been but a
few miles from home, but I've heard
one % the strangest echoes that ever
was anywhere.
up in the little range o hills twenty
miles yonder is a ravine. If you stand
at one end of it and yell Jones' the
echo comes back, Jones, Jones? What
jones'"

PLAYING JOKES ON OFFICIALS.
Spanish Officer Entertained by the
Navy-Hoaxes on Members Of Par
Iiapnent

The recent Dreadnought hoax by
sham Abyssinian princes was so well
planned and carried out that it will
probably go down in history as one Of
the smartest on record. 1t was not the
first time. however, that naval author
tiles have fallen victims to the hoaXer.
Only four years ago man in Span
ish naval uniform presented himself at
the gate of Portsmouth dockyard and
asked for the commander in chief.
Shown into the office he explained to
the admiral that he came from Span
ish cruiser at Cowes, on board Of which
a midshipman was lying very i'll, and
his commanding officer would be obliged
If the sick man could be received in the
British naval hospital. The admiral at
once ordered preparations to be made
at Haslar for the reception Of the mid
shipman.
A lieutenant asked the supposed off,
Ger to dinner at the barracks, and af-
terward lent him G4, as he mad no Eng
lish money. Then he took a cab and
ordered the driver to take him to a
we'll know hotel 1t afterward trans
pired that he did not go there, that no
midshipman was i'll and that no Span
ish cruiser was at Cowes.
One very amusing joke had for it's
victim no less a person that Mr.. Bal
four. One morning during the time he
was irish secretary he received at the
house OF commons an oak box about
ten inches long. On the box being
opened a sprig of shamrock with
card bearing the inscription, From
sincere admirer" was found inside, and
through a layer Of some white COM
pound could be seen what appeared to
be a steel spring, but this was rather
suggestive of an internal machine, so
an expert was sent for.

They Might Have Known.

Harvey Hale Fike. the well-known
southern composer, said at concert
in Atlanta:
The man who begins by writing
trivial and vulgar music will end by
writing trivial and vulgar music. 1t
is a thing so sure that it reminds me
of the Lumpkin hunters adventure
at the Blue Ridge mountaineer's.
Two hunters employed on the Sea-
board Air line at Lumpkin went
hunting in the mountains. They got
benighted north of Nacoochee, and
had to ask a mountaineer to put them
up in his cabin.
The mountaineer gave them a
hearty welcome. He fed them on
good hog and hominy. After supper,
though, as they smoked and talked,
they couldn't help wondering where
they were to sleep; for the cabin had
only one room, there was only one
bed. and besides Mr.. and Mrs. Noun
taineer there were six children in the
household.
We'll, the talk went on, and the
woman, after a while, put the two
youngest children to bed. They soon
fell asleep, and taking them up, she
laid them over in corner. Then she
put the two bigger children to bed.
They, in their turn falling asleep,
were laid in their corner. and at a
nod from the mother the other two
children turned in.
by the time all six of the trans
ferred children lay asleep on the
floor in a row, the two Lumpkin
men began to yawn, and the noun
taineer, pointing TO the bed, urged
them to retire They hesitated, but
their objections were Hospitality
overcome, and they fell alseep in
the comfortable bed with the noun
taineers pipe smoke in their nostriis,
and with his wife's voice, as she read
last weeks paper aloud, sounding
monotonously in their ears.
Bright and early the next morning
the two Lumpkin hunters awoke.
They lay over in the corner, sur
rounded on all sides by children, and
in the bed the mountaineer and his
wife slept peacefully. y."-Detroit Free

arrested about twice week for con-
viviality. He was always hailed be-
fore Magistrate Blank. and as the
magistrate was about 90 too. a queer
kind Of comradeship. almost friend

In the late autumn the topper was
called away from Denver. He did not
return till Christmas time. The con-
vivial Christmas spirit in the crisp
Denver air was. of course, too much
for him, and the day after his return
he was hailed before the usual magis-
trate on the usual charge.

PINE BLUfFIANS
 GO IN STYLE
To Arkansas Travellers Convention
 at Helena.

In high glee and hats described by the same adjective the Pine Bluff delegation left here at noon yesterday for Helena to attend the Arkansaw Travellers convention. A brass band accompanied the crowd which parad- ed the streets here just prior to the time of departure. The route taken by the party, which left on special train of five coaches, is an innova- tion. Leaving here at noon the train expected to reach Helena at D. m. yesterday afternoon, this being about two hours earlier than the time in which the trip is ordinarily made from Pine Bluff to Helena The trip was made over the Valley route via McGehee and thence via M. H. & L.. Along the route the train stopped at the prominent places and the party paraded through the streets and sere- naded the merry villagers. Many lad ies accompanied the party and dele gation of Fl Dorado citizens were also in the party. El Dorado expects to put up a strong fight for the 1911 convention. Little Rock, Marianna and other cities will also be strong applicants for the honor.
 Entertaining the Arkansaw Travel CTS will be the first big stunt in the entertainment. line to be pulled of by Helena. which is ambitious to be- come the convention city of the state Pine Bluff WIS great help to Hell ena in securing this convention and as a result, Pine Bluffians are expected to be given the glad hand ir real strong grasp.
