REPAID TIE LOAN.
At Least That Was What the old Time
 Highwayman Called It.

iti8itNay yHiaH OdAtCA lNs
 The fourth Earl Stanhope when on his way homeward late one dark night was held up by the most gen. tlemanly of highwaymen, who pre- ferred his request for money or the nobleman's life in quite the incest way. It happened that Lord Stan hope had not any money with him and was disinclined to yield the al- ternatiye.
 "Your watch, then," suggested the gentleman at the opposite end of the pistol. The watch, the earl explained, was dear to him. He valued it at 100 guineas and would not surrender it. "What I will do,.s he said, lis to bring and deposit in this tree the worth of the watch in money, and you can call and get it tomorrow night"
 'Done, m lord," said the high wayman.
 The law knew nothing about this arrangement, and the earl did as he had promised. He placed the 100 guineas where the highwayman might at his leisure collect it. And there, so far as he knew, the mat ter ended.
 Years afterward he attended great banquet in the city and found himself pleasantly entertained by an extremely well known man whose signature was good for a sum in several figures. Next day came to Lord Stanhope a letter inclosing the sum of 100 guineas. Accom- panying it was a note begging his acceptance of a loan granted some years previously to the man who now forwarded it.
 That loar, said the letter, had en- abled the sender to gain new start in life, to make fortune and to renew acquaintance at dinner on the previous night with his lord ship. The city magnate and the highwayman of earlier days were one and the same.-London Stand ard.

A Plant That Coughs.

All have read of carnivorous plants, of laughing plants and of plants that weep, but who has heard of a plant that coughs? There is the authority of a French bota- hist, however, for the statement that plant in various tropical regions actually possesses the power to cough in the most approved man ner. The fruit of this plant re- sembles the common broad bean. It appears that the coughing plant is something of crank, that it easi- ly works itself into a rage and that it has curious horror of all dust As soon as few grains of dust are deposited on it's leaves the air cham bers that cover their faces and are the respiratory organs of the plant become filled with gas, swell and end by driving out the gas with slight explosion and a sound that resembles SO much the cough of child suffering from a cold as to carry a most uncanny sensation to the one beholding the phenomenon.

origin of aFirewater.r

The first whisky or intoxicant of inferior quality was distilled in England and brought to America in large barrels, but in transporting it overland it was found more con- venient to divide it into small kegs. The traders soon became aware of the fact that by diluting the whis- ky with water more furs could be obtained. This was practiced for some time, but the Indians learned that good whisky poured on fire would cause it to flame up, whereas had the whisky been diluted the fire would be quenched. It was by this simple experiment that the term s'frewater" became a common word among the Indians. A chief who had experienced the had eff fects of whisky among his people said it was most certainly distilled from the hearts of wildcats and the tongues of women from tho effects it produced.

National old Trails Contention

National Old Trails Contention
 At the annual meeting of the National Old Trails association. held Thursday of last week at the Grand Canyon. business of considerable interest to this sec ton was transacted. Navajo and Apache counties were well represented in the convention, and their representatives suc- ceeded in getting what they wanted. This was the passage of a resolution making the route from Albuquerque to Holbrook via Springerville a part of the Old Trails route. not simply a branch road as it has been here tofore designated. The word branch" will be taken off the sign boards along this road and the signs will read simply "OId Trails Route. ''
 The action taken by the con- vention means that there are now two authorized roads each designated Old Trails Route, be- tween Albuquerque. and Hol- brook. The Springerville route is the one now used almost ex- clusiYely by tourists; it is about 40 miles longer but is a much better road.
 A monument to the pioneer women of Arizona was dedicat- led, the gift of the D. A. R. of Flagstaff.
 MT. and Mrs. W. B. Woods and L. c. Henning, who attend ed the convention, returned home Saturday evening.

This was one of the startling bits
OF information revealed IN an adj
dress. Sunday. by Prof. Janusz Os-
trowski, formerly editor OF the Po-
lish Daily in this city, who returned
only four days ago, broken in health.
from the scene OF the fighting IN the
eastern theater Of war. He was an
active participant in the struggle as
az officer In the Polish Legion, and
was relieved of service on account OF
Ms health. He will now devote his
attention to raising funds for the
succor Of his starving countrymen.
DR.. Ostrowski was the principal
speaker In mass meeting OF Polish
citizens in Dom Polsd, Forest-ave.,
near Chene-st.. Sunday morning. at
which preliminary steps were taken
toward the organization OF local
relief organization. About 1000 per-
sons were present, including many
Polish business men. A temporary
committee was appointed to look
after all funds received until the or
ganization Is effected on a permanent
basis. A meeting OF representatives
OF various business associations ana
other Polish bodies for the organiza-
ton OF a permanent central commit

In the armory TO interest the whole
public in the work of relief.
Several times during his narration
CT his experiences in Poland DR.. Os-
trowski was on the point OF breaking
down. His voice vibrated with emo
ton. and many in the big audience
were moved to tears by his vivid pic
tire of conditions in the home land.
Since the war began, the doctor
said. $4,000 Polish cities and villages
have been either totally or partially
