Weldon denies that he was the ag-
gressor and declares that Bernetta
deserved all he received. He says
that Bernetta owed him $500 for
pair Of shoes and that he could not
collect the amount. He says that
Mrs. Weldon asked Bernetta for the
money two or three times and that
each time she was insulted and when
Weldon tackled him about it he grew
abusive and the fight was the result
He saws he can prove his assertions
and is ready and willing TO face
trial on the charge preferred against
him.
In the meantime, Bernetta is lying
at the Dallas hospital with his entire
right side paralyzed, but physicians
believe he will eventually recover the
use Of his body.

Singular Surnames.

An examination of any city direc-
tory win disclose the fact that many
persons have very peculiar surnames.
Often, the combination of Christian
names and surnames will have dis
tinct meaning in English. 1t Is not
uncommon for citizens to ask permits
sion of the courts to change or short
en- their names for this very reason
Charles Dickens and many other au-
thors delighted in giving their charac-
tiers hands which were suggestive Of
the type Of man or woman repre-.
scented.
Many Of these peculiar surnames
come from the English, where the
ODDITIES in names are. quite marked.
Littlepage, Petterknight. Tiplady,
Sweetapple Thickpenny. Shortgrave,
Bestpitch. Walklate. are suggestive OF
many others. which may be culled
from very long list of names. Firm
names made up of two names having
just the opposite meaning are also
striking. In New York there Is firm

ago gave well-known sporting man
an opportunity which he could not re-
sist taking advantage of. He had hand
bills widely distributed on which was
stated:
A Great Crosby gentleman will give
$50 to the man, woman or child who
first succeeds In doing the following
task: To walk from the Pierhead
(Lverpool) to Crosby village. There
each competitor must buy a meat pie
and walk around the Big Stone and
eat it."
About a hundred entries were re-
ceived, and the walk took place on
Whit Monday. Much excitement pre-
vailed and great cheer rose as a
local pedestrian was seen leading the
rest of the crowd His meat pie was
soon eaten as he walked round the
stone, and he went to the judge for
the $50.

TIckled Buffaloes.

How Yankee railroad man once
tried to protect telegraph poles in
western Kansas from the buffalo and
signally failed is related by Fl. J. Bar
Der, a pioneer of pawnee county:
early settlers remember that for
miles you could see q white polished
belt on every telegraph pole where
buffalo had scratched their shaggy
hide when tormented by buffalo
gnats. I was told that many poles
were broken by the vast army Of
scratching animals. A certain rail-
road official who lived in Boston,
where the shoes were made, bought
all the pegging avis on the market
and had the section men drive. them
into the posts until they look like
giant cacti.
s1The herds came and saw and con-
quered. They fought for first place
at the poles and tickled their NANCY
hides with the avis, which were
broken by the joyful bulls that still
scratched on the remnants, until the
poles fell. Needless to say, the re-
naming avis were withdrawn from
service at once"

Women talk too much about their per

AGING FOR A WIFE
custom Long a Favorite Among
Wild Tribes.
Not Altogether the Lottery It Appears,
Since the Girl Is Enabled to Give
Aid to the Man Of Her Choice and
Easily Make Him the Winner.

Among some of the ruder tribes Of
men, where physical excellence counts
for the chief merit, the custom Of run1
ming races for bride has always BEEN
favorite one.
Among the Huzarehs, people of
Asia. the suitors of maiden, usually
nine In number. appear in a field all
unarmed. but mounted on the best
horses they can procure. The bride
herself, on beautiful Turkomanl
horse, surrounded by her relativesi
anxiously surveys the group Of lovers
The girl has the advantage Of cer1
tain start, which she avails herself Oh
to gain sufficient distance from the
crowd to enable her to manage her
steed with freedom, so as to assist In
his pursuit the lover whom she pre-
fers. Whichever first succeeds In en-
circling her waist with his arm is END
titled to claim her as his wife. II
When satisfied with her position
she turns round to the impatient suit
0rs and stretches out her arm to them!
Each Of the eager lovers darts like the
unhooded hawk In pursuit of the fugil
tive dove. The savannah is generally
twelve miles long and three in width,
and as the horsemen speed across the
plain the favored lover becomes apparl
ent BY the efforts OF the maiden to(
avoid all others who approach her.
On certain occasion, after two
hours racing, the number of pursuers
was reduced to four. who were all to-
gether and gradually gaining on the
pursued. With them was the favorite,|
but his horse suddenly fell, and the
girl turned anxiously to perceive with
dismay the hapless position Of her
lover.
Each Of the more fortunate leaders,
eager with anticipated triumph, bendl
ing his head on his horses name,
shouted at the top Of his voice. She,
making sudden turn and flashing her
horse almost to fury, darted across
their path and made for her loverl
The three others Instantly checked
their careers, but In their hurry to
turn back two Of the horses were
dashed furiously against each other

over on the plain.
The maiden laughed, for she thought
she could easily elude the single horse

lover was. But her only pursuer was
rarely mounted and not so easily shak1

ne dashed alongside the maiden and,
stretching out his arm, almost secured
the unwilling maiden prize; but she,
bending her head to her horses neck,
eluded his grasp and wheeled OIL
again. Ere the dismounted horsemanl
could again approach her her lovers
arm was around her waist, and amid
the shouts Of the spectators they
turned toward the starting point
