Peculiar Manner.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Capt. c.
A. w. Monekten, who has been ex-
ploring in New Guinea brings back
this almost unbelievable tale:
"While sitting quietly there Con d
small coral island) l noticed some rats
going down to the edge of the reef
Tank, hungry-looking brutes they were
with pink, naked tails. stopped on
the point of throwing Jumps of coral
at them, out of curiosity to see what
the vermin meant to do at the sea-
Rat after rat picked fattish lump
of coral. squatted on the edge and
dangled his tail in the water; suddenly
one rat gave violent leap OF about
a yard and as he landed | saw a crab
cinging to his tail Turning round, the
rat grabbed the crab and devoured it,
and then returned to his stone; the
while the other rats were repeating
the same performance"

BACHELORS OF U. S.
NUMBER 100000
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
MEN AND WOMEN OVER so
YEARS OLD MATELESS.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The I'M
married state now enfolds. more than
100000 women and men over forty
five years of age it is shown in reports
OF the United States census bureau to-
day.
"Insufferable lonesomeness" was the
term used by DR.. George P. Harding,
in explaining his marriage at seventy
six to Miss Seyerns, aged ffty-two.
More than 100000 men of about DR..
Harding's age are listed as bachelors,
the official records show. A nearly
equal number OF women OF sixty-four
wears Of age or over also are unmar-
ried. And still larger number OF wo-
men and men over fifty are without
mates as result of divorce or death.
There now are in the United States
approximately 100000 men Of forty
five years of age or more who never
entered matrimony. For the CORE
spending age group the number OF I'M
married women is approximately 49,
600.
The official reports indicate, how
ever. that marriages of men and wo-
men Of the age of DIR. Harding and
the former Miss Severns are becoming
more and more frequent. The popula-
ton as a whole is entering the mar
rage state at a much later average
than in the last decade The average
man marries at the age of thirty, the
reports show, and the average woman
not later than twenty-five.
At the same time the people of the
United States are shown to be living to
+ more ripe age. More than 5000 per-
sons now claim to be 100 years of age
or older, according to the census rec

REPUBLICANS WILL
SERVE GEORGIA PIE
APPOINTEES FOR SOME OF
MOST IMPORTANT OFFICES
HAVE BEEN AGREED ON.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Practically all
the republican patronage in this sec
ton Of the state seems to have been
determined except the postmastershlp
at Savannah. Reports from Washing
ton state that Fred d. Dismuke, OF
Townsville, has won his night for APP
pointment as Georgia prohibition Off
Ger.
Equally interesting is the further in
formation that N. P. Jones, of Atlanta,
has been selected as chief of the new
enforcement activities under Mr.. Dis
nuke. The National Anti-Saloon
League and other dry leaders would
have preferred Jones for first place, but
are satisfied over the arrangement that
has been worked out.
Prentiss Edwards, son OF Harry
Stillwell Edwards of Macon, promi-
nent republican, probably will be APP
pointed United States marshal for the
southern district of Georgia, and +.
G. Boatright, Of Cordele, is the best
bet" for appointment as district at
torney.
w. L. Phillips, of Thomasville, the
new Georgia republican state chairman,
is in Washington to take up the ma
tional patronage situation with the ma
tional administration.
There is said to be every indication
of a disposition to accept his recon-
mendations without question. 1t is ex-
pected while he is in Washington a
complete Georgia patronage slate will
be agreed on and made public.
The Savannah republicans have been
pulling for George F. White, OF Al

they are said to be satisfied with the
selection of Edwards. Mr.. White is

suitcase caused the concealed gun to
be discharged, the bullet tearing its
way through the case and lodging III
the porter's stomach. He died from
the wound, and following verdict OF
manslaughter by the coroner's jury,
Mr.. White was located and brought
back to the city pending action by the
grand jury.
Senator Watson and Representative
Charles Fl. Brand interested themselves
in Whites case Immediately, taking
the position that the killing was acct

bic to be brought was one of involun-
tary manslaughter-the killing OF 4

Spur on Youth S ShoeS PROBABLY odV-

RICHLAND, Ga.-Master Buster
Chappell, son OF L. P. Chappell, OF
near Richland, was painfully gored by
an infuriated bull last week. The
young man realized his danger when
he saw the bull dashing toward him,
but was unable to get away. He was
knocked down and gored in one OF
his thighs, but fortunately he had
presence of mind enough to use a spur
which was buckled on one of his shoes
and in this manner cut the bull across
the nose several times and spiked him
enough to cause him to cease in his
determination to kill the boy.
The boy was brought into the city,
where medical attention was given. 1t
was necessary to take several stitches
in his thigh and he is now able to be
around on crutches.
