One day this week there was at Aus tin, Ore., a very unique freak of na ture Jt was' a lamb that had been sent to the taxidermist at Bolne. , It "was now mounted. It had two and a half bodies, all joined at the head; there was .one head, eight h'gs, two tails, three eyes and four ears. The two bodies' were standing at almost right angles to each other, each one having two hind legs and a foreleg; being Joined at the neck, there was the need of but the one fore leg to each body. , The half body was between the other two and fastened with them to the neck. , There 'were the two eyes In the normal position, and a third eye at the back ot the head, and this was flanked by two perfectly formed ears. What Is won derful (If anything could be deemed queer about a thing that had so little regularity about- It) Is that the, two legs ' supporting the half body were placed as if they were to walk back word. . The most unnatural feature was the face. It looked almost exactly like the face of a very old man; the prom inent nose, a mouth toothless,' and the protruding chin all very human- covering of vool. Such a monstrosity should be In the Smithsonian Institute. It Pays to Preach. Thnt It pays to preach - and , that spectacular preaching is In demand Is shown by the fact that Oklahoma City HaptlHts have made every effort to se cure Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher to be pastor of White Temple church at that placo at a great advance in sal ary. He Is also wanted In New Tork and Boston by churches paying a sal ary of 110,000 per year. An .item from the Baptist convention at Okla homa City, says: Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher, pas tor of the White Temple, In Portland, Ore., may receive a call to Oklahoma City. The pulpit of the White Temple In Oklahoma City is soon to be va cant i Cow Killed. ' s The excursion train over the Cen tral to Cove Friday night of last week bumped a cow off the track near the Wright ranch, derailing the tender and forcing the train to return to Union. There were about 70 ddodIo on the train at the time, though no damage was done except to the cow, which was killed. The animal was the property of Fred Nodlne. Union. Re publican. Proportion Dropped. The plan to submit to the voters of the city of Union a proposition to so amend the city charter as to permit the Issuance of bonds for the con struction of an electric lighting plant has been dropped for the present, owing to the fact that sufficient data could not be secured In time to present to the people at the June election.
