some day how you like it.

1t was very uncomfortable riding bare
back SO as soon as they came to a town
Puss looked about for q harness shop.
And pretty soon he found one, and then
he bought a saddle with red straps to
match the tops Of his boots, you know.
And then off he went again on his little
red saddled donkey, and after a while
they came to q meadow covered with
buttercups.
And, all Of a sudden some Of the but
tercups turned into butterflies and a
patch Of dandelions turned into little
lions But Puss wasn't afraid, for they
weren't any larger than kittens ana
purred, just Ike an old cat my grand
mother had when l was a little boy.
And just then a little fresh water crab
in the brook began to sing a song:
"Oh, I've q claw like a catcher's mitt.
A great big swapping claw,
And I chase the little silver fish
mat niue IN Ihe pOOlS Dy CAo ehOIef
And when I catch one by his silver tail
put him away in my little. tin pail"
"Ha, ho." laughed Puss Junior, and
the little donkey brayed, which is the
way a donkey talks. you know. And
then all the little lions began to roar
and the butterflies to sing. And If you've
never heard butterfly sing, just listen
to this:
over the meadow and over the brook,
From flower to flower We fly,
Slipping the sweet and sagary dew
And eating the buttercup pie"
Well, after that, rs Puss looked around
he saw a little house not far away, SO
he rode over and knocked on the dooy.
He Just leaned out of the saddle anv

then she rang little bluebcll flower ana

Southern Cross, which, as it happens.
was the scene Of the first gold rush IN
western Australia The new boom was
as picturesque as were the old ones.
Lack Of water long was one of the
things which prevented proper working
OF the western gold fields Of Australia
but this was overcome by the piping OF
water from source of supply 325 miles
away, which was completed in 1893 and
which made permanent the boom camp
Of KHlgoorlie. which can boast Of some
Of the richest gold mines in the world
and which, within sixteen years of its
discovery, had yielded more than $50
tons Of gold.

"HE wandering and Maynard airs
of fashion, blowing this way and
that at the beginning of the sea-
son, have set themselves In definite di-
rections and now we are able to deter
mine which way the wind blows. In
suits it is toward long coats and some
what lengethened skirts: coats that
are made interesting by little variety
In styles and much variety in trim
mings, and skirts that, with few excep-
lions, remain plain.
The box coat, with many variations
In collars, sleeves, length and trim
ming, appeals to great numbers OF
women; as it is developed this season
severity is unknown to it. 1t has more
than one rival, the most important Of
them being coats that decide upon a
little definition Of the waistline or a
ripple in the skirt portion at the sides
and back and those In the long redin-
cote style. In a season Of dignifed
suits the last stands at the head Of its
class.

In the handsome suit pictured the
figure is vaguely outlined and the coat
ripples at the back below the waist
line. It is uneven In length and split
up at each side. Fur bands form the
cuffs and emphasize the fare and
ripple in the back, and fur provides a
collar over the long revers. En-
broidery in striking pattern assumes
the responsibility Of finishing the trim
front.
Since fashion has decreed longer
skirts, without saying just how much
longer they shall be, the length Of this
model is worth noting. 1t is long
enought, longer than the average by
an inch or so, but in keeping with
the style, which, is intended for
matrons.

ROBBERS IN OLAR.
Bags of Rice, Barrels of Flour and
Cartridges Taken by Thieves.

Olar, Feb. 24.-Burglars broke
into and robbed four mercantile es-
Establishments in Olar last night. 1t
seemed that groceries, money and
pistol cartridges were the principle
things that they wanted, having taken
seven or eight bags of rice, several
barrels of -four, other groceries, cart
ridges and what money there was in
the cash registers. The robbers were
evidently in automobiles. One OF
them, however, rode off on bicycle
that was stolen from Creech - Gill

MEXICO ON MAIN STREET.
Crowd of Men Go on the Warpath
and Make Things Lively.

Saturday night a party, said to
have been composed of white men,
decided that things were too dull in
Bamberg and proceeded to chit 'em
up" at a lively pace. The stiffness
and usual quiet of the night hours
suddenly began to be broken into by
pistol shots like unto a small sized
South American or Mexican revolu-
ton, and the shots emanated mostly
from Main street. The number OF
shots is variously estimated from foul
to thirty, the latter number probably
being nearer correct, and it is also
said that cursing and yelling was in
dulged in very freely.
Promiscuous shooting and the use
of vile language has been going on
in Bamberg intermittently for some
time past, and it has become unsafe
on such occasions for peace loving
inhabitants to stray out on the streets
during such escapades.

Fatal Accident at Fairfax.

Fairfax, February 26.-Harry Lee
Williams, IL year old son of Mrs. Vic
toria Williams, accidentally shot him
self Yesterday afternoon, the wounds
causing almost instant death.
The accident occurred in the after
noon after school hours when young
Williams was taking a gun out Of the
gear house to go on a brief hunting
trip. It is supposed that the gun in
some way became entangled in the
harness and was thus accidentally
discharged.
Henry was bright and promising
boy. Only a few hours earlier in
the afternoon he had presided over
the lower school society, an honor
accorded him by his school mates BE-
cause of the high rank in his studies
and his active interest in the affairs
of the school.

MEETS ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Olar Boy Drops Gun in Buggy and
Receives Discharge.

Olar, March 1.-Johnnie HERS, lS
years old, an orphan grandson of S.
l.. HERS, accidentally shot and in
stantly killed himself about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon about two miles
out of town while on a fishing trip.
He was in a buggy with his uncle,
Stephen HERS, who called Johnnie's
attention to the fact that the gun was
loaded and asked him to unload 1t.
Upon attempting to do so the gun
slipped through his hands, the ham
mer striking the side of the buggy,
causing it to discharge the load into
the young mans heart, resulting in
instant death.
About a year ago his only little
brother was burned to death in a
camp car at Denmark while visiting
his uncle, B. A. Joyner, foreman OF
a Seaboard construction gang.
The remains were inferred in the
Baptist cemetery here this afternoon,
services conducted by his pastor, the
Rev. D. w. Heck1e.
