- , . I Local and Personal Zook the Painter, will hang your paper. G. T. McKinney gave Toledo a visit last Friday, returning home Saturday. He went over to look at some land. We had written up the visit of the stork to the home of William Riddell Jr. and wife, for last week, but somehow the copy was left hanging on the hook, how ever, that didn't disconcert the stork as he left his bunch of joy and Mr. and Mrs. Riddell are re joicing over the arrival of a fine baby boy.

At Langa-Langa, ashore, on the manufactured island, which you cannot see for the houses, sur rounded by hundreds of unblush ing naked men, women and child- j ren, we wandered about and saw i the sichts. We had our revnl- vers strapped on, and the boat's j jcrew, fully armed, lay at the oars, stern in; but the lesson of the man-of-war was too recent for us to apprehend trouble. We walked about everywhere and saw everything, until at last we approached a large tree-trunk that served as a bridge across a shallow estuary. The blacks formed a wall in front of us and refused to let us pass. We wanted to know why we were stopped. The blacks said we could go on. We misunderstood and started.. Again we were stopped. Explanations became more definite. Captain Jansen and I, being men, could go on. But no Mary was allowed to wade around that bridge, much less cros3 it. , "Mary" is beche de mer for woman. Charmian was a Mary. To her the bridge was tambo, which is the native for taboo. Ah, how my chest expanded. At last my manhood was vindicated. In truth I be longed to the lordly sex. Char mian could trapse along at our heels, but we were men, men, and we could go right over that bridge while she would have to go around by whale-boat Jack London, in the June Pacific Monthly. 3? m 1 9kV m 5) 5 LT a u m 1 m Eroken Line of Queens Ware Try our line of Bob White Laundry Soap We have the best line of Enameled ware to be had at any price, and our price is as low as is asked by some for cheaper kinds.

Upon further Inquiry as to hl9 treatment It was explained that the sultan had become Interested lu the storv as It appeared from day to day and was too linpntieut to wait for the end.
