She should never nag him, or forget
that he is creature of reason, not an

to manage it at all is TO skin it and
parboil it in big pot with plenty of

walloon skins.
They are great ducks for diving"
says a well known Tired Avon river
progger. "They can dive quicker, go
down deeper, remain under water long

any other duck that frequents our wa

killing a walloon. and, being short Of

The Tombiqbee.

'Do you know the origin Of the
name Of the Tombigbee river?" asked
the well informed man. "Well," he
went on, "it is Choctaw, every syl-
liable, only the word is not "Tombig-
bee;;' it is Tomb Ik-bi,' two words,
the Il being short in each instance.
Long ago Choctaws inhabited the Sec
ton now embraced within the states
of Mississippi and Alabama and tray-
ersed by the stream that song was
about. Nearly p century ago q white
mana carpenter-came among the
Indians. He lived on the banks Of
the stream and among other things
made rude collins for burials. Indians
at that time ''buried" their dead upon
an arbor supported by poles, but they
gradually came to the white mans
custom of burying in earth and went
to the white man carpenter to get
their boxes. From this incident, I am
told, the stream received its name,
'Tom-bi' meaning box and Ik-bf
meaning make or maker, only they
added the word box which signifies
river or creek, so, literally translated,
the combination means the river
where lives the man that makes box
es.' Time as well as the Anglo-Saxon
disposition to round corners in pro-
nunciation Anglicized Tomb 1k-bf

Sarcastic Cabby.~

A certain nobleman, who may be
called Lord ", bears the reputation
of being somewhat stingy in money
matters. On wet afternoon he hired
n cab to take him to Victoria station.
Arrived at the station, he handed the
cabman a shilling and of course was
met by the. inevitable demand for an
extra sixpence.
certainly not" said the other
promptly. "You came the longest way
as an excuse to extort money. Why
didn't you go through st. James
park?"
The cabman saw he had no chance
and said sneeringly:
"Cos st. James park is closed.
That's why"
Nonsense" said the other sternly.
"It's right, though" was the grave
reply. "They say that Lord x. dropped
a shilling coming across the park last
evening, and the gates are closed until
they find it."-London Tit-Bits.

caurtaut the Wolf.

Paris has forgotten the time when 1t
used to go in terror Of the wolves
which csrried off women and children
from the streets and even raided the
graYeyards. at one time they became
SO mad with desire for human flesh
that in a single week they devoured
fourteen persons, all between Mont
martre and the gate Of st. Antoine.
On the vigil of st. Martin (says Grace
James in Joan Of Arc") there was
hunted and taken horrible wolf,
(which it was said had done more,
and more cruelty, than many others
put together. That day he was killed.
He had no tail, and from that be was
called Courtaut. There was as much
talk about him US If he had been an
outlaw Of the woods or cruel cap
tain, and when he lived folk said to
one another as they went forth to la
Dor in the fields, Look out for Cour-
taut.' And on this day he was taken
through Paris in cart, dead, with
his great jaws open, and all the peo-
pie went to see, and they made holi-
day and rejoieed, because Courtaut
could trouble them no more"

Berlin.

"Berle," from which Berlin has
caught her name, means uncultivated
land. Slavonian Wends, the earliest
settlers on the sandy plain, could make
but little out of the soil. The popula-
tion in 1892 was only 250,e00. Less
than forty years later it was 100000,
and now it runs into 100000. The
man who gave to Berlin its present
form was Frederick H., but Frederick
the Great and the Great Elector started
the noble hobby Of beautifying the
wonderful city.

a Sian of a Crowd.

A very fat, putting, elderly woman
stepped up to the box office Of the
Chestnut Street theater and, placing a
coin on the ticket window, said:
"Give me ticket to the gallery"

you go out Of the door,"
The old woman walked down the
steps and, advancing few feet, glanc-

gaze wander to the iron fire escape
which was suspended above the side
walk.
Going back to the main box Office,
she said:

SALE OF LIGHT &
POWER COMPANY

The properties Of the Hcod River
Light & Power Go. changed hands
twice last Friday. Some time ago the
Oregon & Washington Corporation Sc
cured an option on the properties.
Immediately after closing out their
option on the above date they sold to
the Pacific Coast Light & Power Co.,
which is said to be a branch of the
American Light & Power Co. The
General Electric Co., of New York,
one of the largest organizations Of its
kind, is interested in the latter com
pany. The entire properties Of the
local company have been taken over
by the purchasers. VIM. f. Chipping,
who has been superintendent Of the
water department for the past few
years, has retired from that position.
The purchase of the Hood River
company's plant represents but a
small part Of the recent purchases of
the Pacific Coast Light & Power Co.
They have secured the properties of
companies at The Dalles, Wala Walla
and Pendleton. Apparently the com
pany intend getting control Of large
number Of power sites in this section
of the country, on which it is soon ex-
pected they will begin DEVELOPMENT.
