Haeckel.
They did not kin him at once At

forced him up the staircase, flight after

They were fearful Of frightening the

You never can tell who is who when

ran into a former Steel Cityite who
was wandering along the big lane. He
wasn't so glad to see him. as he feared
a "touch," because back home the man
never seemed prosperous. neither was
he down and out. His appearance
hadn't changed since his residence
here.
"How long have you been living in
New York" asked the visitor.
"Oh, about three years." replied the
former resident.
"Then you know the town pretty
we'll" was the next query.
The former Pittsburgher admitted
that he did. and gave the visitor some
advice and warning about the big city.
He listened. Then he asked: "What
are you doing here. Bill?"
"Working for a bank down town."
replied the other man.
The Pittsburgher didn't press his
chance friend for details. he thought
that Bill had one Of those Jobs down
town where one starves to death
amidst the wealth Of the nationwide Of

asked, and Bill said he would be de-

England, a very high standard has
been reached. In the milking compe-

over 90 marks. Two women thatch-
era, who had only been at the work
for i've weeks, secured the highest
possible rating. The competitions
were arranged by the Kent woman's

Last Eciday as soon as Col.

he was areeting friends whom he
knew and beng introduced to those
whom he did not know. sudden
uproar was started by a small
group of persons calling loudly for
a speech from sir. Phanor Brea

people in the audience who were
supporters Of M. Parker, and
while Col. Stubs was speaking
he received from every one the
close attention and courteous treat
ment which his high character as
a citizen deserved, and for which
the people of Natchitoches are
noted.

mentary, but while it lasted the
