! The Jerboa and the Melons.


): Z, An odd fact relative to q little Afr1-3
can melon Is thus related BY an Off.
cial OF Khartum: Is s.r$a d. v i -3..&
The jerboa or kangaroo rat is found
in considerable numbers In places miles
and miles away from any water or
even dew. and4I was at a loss to I'M
derstand how these little animals could
exist through the ten months of
drought. It appears. however, that
after, the scanty rains a small wild
melon Of bitter taste, but full Of juice,
fourishes in the: desert. The jerboa,
as soon as the melon IS ripe, bites off
the stem and proceeds, to dig away
the sand under the melon, so that it
gradually sinks below the level Of the
ground. The constant wind soon GOV
ers it with six to eight inches of sand,
which protects it from the scorching
sun and from drying up. When all
other moisture has evaporated the jer-
! boa goes to his larder and drinks the
juice Of the melon till the rains come
on again One jerboa will bury as
many as forty of these little melons
to last him through the dry season.

: The Word "Gaiters."

+ Episcopal CATERS cannot date from a
very remote antiquity. The very word
s" CATERS is almost newcomer to the
language. Johnson's Dictionary does
not recognize its existence, 1t does not
occur before 1850, and even in 1902
military dictionary had to define it as
"a sort Of spatterdashes." ''Guetre,"
however, the French original, goes
back at least to, the fifteenth century,
and the origin of that is lost though
etymologists compare d all sorts of
words in all sorts Of languages. inciud-

To the Citizens Of Mena:
Below you will find some Of the
principles advocate:
1. There should not be any poll
tics in the municipal affairs, and
that we should all work in harmony
to build up our beautiful city.
2. do positively advoc ate the
water system. and that every man
should pay according to the benefit
received from the water. and that
no man should pay more than his
pro ratio part. The man who lives
far out from the water line. with no
chance to receive any protection in
case of fire, will in my judgment
have no benefits. except the increase
of the value on his property. by hav-
ing a good water system here. There
fore he should not be taxed but a
very small tax.
3. That every department Of the
city officials, if be elected mayor,
must show an itemized statement of
money received, and from whom,
and the amount paid out and to
whom and in what work or purchase.
This will demand on each month,
for the purpose of giving the news in
our paper. so that any man who reads
the paper can nave the financial
condition of our city at any time pre-
serving the papers. This will give
no chance of unfairness in the city
administration.
A. That every ward shall receive
the same attention from the officials,
and that no ward will have any
favors conferred on it. To those
who live far out in the limits, you
will have the attention paid to the
streets and alleys in the proportion
of funds collected.
Comparison: If you pay ten dol
lars you have ten dollars of work
done on your street and alley, so on
5. Again, will see that the pc
lice force will be men who will keer
down disturbance and enforce the
ordinances, with no favors to any
one. at any time that he is not doing
his duty will give him his time.
6. Blind tigers, gaming houses
and other Illigitimate business cam
thrive under my administration. Il
the people want saloons. and they
were to vote thcm in according t,
the law fairly, of course would con
sent to it, Notwithstanding my per
sonal opinion on the matter. as
would execute officially with tn,
majority.
| z. | wish it strictly understood
| that | am not tool for any man, Al
some might have you to believe. |
any one thinks that. he will meet al
unsuccessful attempt.
| 8. will strive hard to have tn,
city put in as perfect sanitary condi
ton as possible, knowing that pre-
ventative is much better than a cure
| Again wish it understood that
advocate the principle of the peopl
acting together as one body, regard
less of political or religious bodies
as we now need each others supper
to secure financial institutions to on
city as well a population.

In these days when the people are

accommodating evidence that Repre-

resent the people, or even the great
political parties, and that party re-
sponsibility is myth.
In Kansas last fall, both Repuhli.
can and Democratic parties in their

Dave says that once upon time

AS general thing when the train
went by the workmen just dropped
everything and went back on the
right of way to keep out of danger.
But one day after a good deal of
hard work. q piece of track had been
lifted and Leahy was bearing down
hard on the crowbar, which was piv-
oted over big rock. "A train came
in sight and the workman stepped
aside. But Leahy decided to just
sit down on the handle of his crow
bar. He was tired and thought the
handle would make good resting
place.
