Out of a scant score the following patches were snipped, and had the work been carried on farther the num- ber wouid have been doubled easily. The first, which comes from Boston, where such swashhu.klering ro mance would seem a bit inharmonious, Is thut of a young fellow whose suit was opposed by the flinty-hearted mother of the girl. He sneaked Into her house the other night, chloroform ed the mother and stole the girl away from under her very nose. He was young and ardent and ln- cxperti'nced. if he had known the opinion of the Kansas City woman, ar rested for bigamy, he might have been less theatrical. On the stand she made no secret of her guilt. "I've had six husbands and I’m sick of matri mony. Most of the men I married were farmers. I would live with them until I got tired of them and then I'd leave. They were so tiresome. No; I never divorced one of them.” Then the foxlness of the Connecti cut girl who wits jilted by her lover, who stole her heart, her jewelry and 170 in real money and decamped, must be noted. The girl said nothing, but planned. Seven weeks ago she left her native town of South Man Chester and when she came back the other day she wore a wedding ring. She told her friends of the ceremony, and the news filtered out to the runa way. He thought she had forgotten and returned home, only to be arrest ed. The pretended marriage was a trap. The limit of folly, though, Is reached by the Detroit swain whose wedding depended upon the victory of his home town's ball club in the championship series. A girl who has so little ap preciation of the sanctity of marriage as to make It hinge on a wager is silly and vulgar and unwomanly, but what can be said of the spineless man who would be willing to take a girl under such circumstances? Civilized men will hold him In contempt, and the savages who used to club their chosen mates into insensibility, swing them over their shoulders and steal away In the darkness, would be esteemed more highly by all sensible womankind than this Detroit weakling.—Cleveland Leader. GAME WARDEN'S PLUCK. The extraordinary escape of one of the game warden's assistants in South Africa is told by Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, author of ‘‘In the Grip of the Nyika." The warden delivered himself out of the very jaws of a lion by a good knife, a cool head and plen ty of pluck. This man was riding home at dusk through a game pre serve, when a lion suddenly sprang at him out of the bushes, knocked him off his pony and so terrified the pony that it galloped madly off, pursued by the lion. The man was picking him self up when another lion pounced on him and gripped him through thn shoulder. The game ranger was dazed for a few moments by the shock, but when he came to his senses he found himself being carried ofT in the maw of the lion, whose long tusks went through and through his right shoulder, and rendered his right arm useless. As he was being dragged off in this fashion, with his heels trailing on the ground, he gave himself up for lost, but suddenly bethought himself of an old hunting knife he carried In his waist belt at his right side. The knife was so loose in Its sheath that it usually fell out on the least provocation, and even as the ranger doubled his left arm behind his hack he had a hopeless feeling that the knife would not be there. Imagine his joy when he felt the hilt In his desperate grip! In a moment the long, keen blade was poised, and a blow at the lion s heart, thrice rapidly repeated, made the brute wonder what had hurt him. He dropped his vould-be victim, eyed him with astonishment for a second as he lay beneath him, and then stag gered off into the bush. The moment he was out of sight, the ranger struggled to his feet, climbed a tree, and before he fainted strapped himself on a branch with his be*1- . 1 . . . No sooner had he done so than Hon number one appeared on the scene again, having failed to catch the pony. He remained at the foot of the tree until the ranger's dog came up. and by his barking attracted the attention of some passing natives, who drove nfT the lion and rescued the fainting man from the tree. , , A brief search disclosed the dead body of the lion that had attacked the ranger, stabbed to death through the hearL____________________ S tic k y Iron ».

No, ’ replied the hardware mer chant, somewhat gruffly. ‘T v e told you several times that we don't do much with hose. Nobody can after a community's got settled down. We've got two or three shots of hose on hand In case there's any dem and for it, but we don't sell much of It. When a man buys a few feet of hose be ex pects it’ll last forever and he makes It last forever, even If It leaks at | every pore, as It generally does after it’s been In the cellar one winter. It'll squirt all over everything and every body except the lawn, but he ties rags around the broken places until It looks as If it had been through a war. and lets it squirt. He won’t come down and order any new hose. "One reason is you can’t get a boy to water the lawn with a new hose. A boy likes a hose that'll wet him through and play all kinds of queer tricks; the more It leaks the better he likes It. But If you have a brand- new hose and you can make him touch It at all he'll take it out and turn It on wagons and dogs and people that are going by, and you’ll have a police man at the back door In an hour or two complaining of him. Once in a good while a man'll buy a lot of land and build a new house and order a new hose, but It ain’t often enough to make It worth while to carry much of a stock. ‘‘If you wouldn't lean your whole weight on that vine in that box It might do better when It comes to be transplanted,” concluded the hardware merchant. ‘'Ain't there no more arms on that armchair in there for you to whittle off?” J COTTON IN CALIFORNIA* ( a p lln ll.t» S ta p le T w o B a r k .. at Articles of incorporation have been j filed for the California Cotton Com pany, whose principal business Is to grow cotton in Imperial Valley, the New York Herald's Los Angeles cor respondent says. The signers of the application are ranch owners and busi ness men of Los Angeles and Memphis, Tenn. The president of this company will be Joseph R. Loftus, president of the Joseph R. Loftus Company in this city, who was a prime mover in Introduc ing cotton into imperial Valley. The others mentioned are J. T. Walker of Memphis, Tenn., who has been in the cotton and cottonseed business for a number of years; W. H. Kindig, M. M. Dorfmeler and H. C. Chase, all of Los Angeles. It was originally Intended to form a large company, but on account of the very limited time before cotton planting It was decided to work along more modest lines. The capital of $25,000 will enable the company to plant from 2,000 to 3,000 acres in cot ton, and have an experienced p’ inta- tlon manager as superintendent and justify maintaining a business ifflee to handle the products. There Is said to be an unlimited de mand for cotton and cottonseed prod ucts. In California there Is still a cot ton mill that will use 10,000 bales of cotton. Cotton mills from Germany nnd Japan are reported to he nego tiating for tome of the cotton to be raised in the imperial Valley. Oil mills and gins have already been financed by the farmers. It is ru mored that private Individuals will plant nearly 20,000 acres. Money has been furnished by eastern and San Francisco capitalists to help the plant ers, and It Is predicted that with cot ton growing on a commercial basis Im perial Valley will attract much capi tal from abroad. Ora S tores France still has eleven thousand men encamped on Moroccan soil. Alaska's copper output this year will exceed four million pounds. An English physician has placed on record a case of malaria which re mained latent for thirteen years. It has been found that the prevalence of typhoid fever In India varies regu larly with the abundance of files. A writer in the Lancet mentions lurid incidents at a funeral. A man was supposed to have run danger of being buried alive; for when his cdt- fln was moved a knocking sound was heard within. When It was opened It was found that a hammer had been left in It, and had jolted about so as to cause the noise. As a result, It Is said, of the In creased spirit duties under the British budget the police have noticed in re mote districts of Ireland Indications of a revival of illicit distillation of liquor. There has also been a consid erable increase, It is reported, in the use of spirits of ether as a beverage since the price of whisky was raised. A Burlington passenger train coming into St. Joseph had to stop and re move a sleeping man from the track. A brakeman was left to hold the man, and when the train reached the sta tion a policeman was sent to arrest the track sleeper. He was running down the right-of-way with the brakeman hanging to his coat-tails with all brakes set.— Kansas City Star. Miss Hughes of Toronto, Canada, re cently conducted a party of 322 school teachers to visit Boston and other points of interest In New England. Miss Hughes' father is the Inspector of schools at Toronto and her mother was president of the congress of kin dergarten teachers at the world’s fair at Chicago, and for the last four years has been president of the International Kindergarten Association. To what group, If any, the sun be longs, we do not yet know, but De- launcey has presented reasons for thinking that those stars whose dis tances have been measured (that Is to say, those which are nearest to us) group themselves around Sirius, the Dog Star, in a manner similar to that In which the Inner planets are grouped around the sun. If this be correct, Sirius may possibly be the master sun of which our orb of day is a distant satellite.— Harper's Weekly. Sharks lay eggs which are large in size, few as to numbers and are de posited singly Instead of In masses. These eggs consist of a dark colored, leathery envelope, and are usually adorned wtih frills, horns or long twisted tendrils. These appendages serve the purposa of keeping the egg case supported among the branches of seaweeds, thus preserving the embryo shark from the damage It would sus tain were the egg can led hither a a j thither by the waves.

There Is no one living who has not been compelled with more or less fre quency to learn by actual experience what is meant by indigestion, the les sons varying from the occasional acute attack, traceable to some unmistakable Indiscretion, to the condition of semi invalidism in which many persons languish, solely by reason of the un certain action of the digestive p r o cesses. In most eases of indigestion, or dys pepsia, the stomach or the intestines are at fault; but this is by no means always so, and great injustice is done by a failure to recognize that the stom ach is not the real culprit, but is only put forward by the rest of the system, as It were, as a spokesman. It faith fully performs Its office of lodging a complaint for the general economy, and it Is then Immediately dosed and redosed, with disappointing results, be cause the real trouble has not been rec ognized or attacked. Everyone has heard that It Is best not to eat when extremely fatigued, but this is not because the stomach j itself is tired, but because the entire system Is temporarily too enfeebled to send out sufficient blood supply to cope with the increased work that digestion ! entails. The stomach, In order to do its work properly, must be fed with the nervous force that comes from j good circulation, and this is impossi ble if the brain is calling for more | than its share. This, again, is the reason why brain wfirkers should not go straight from their work to a heavy meal, but should take a walk or some simple gymnastic exercises flr3t, in order to draw the blood from the over- supplied brain down to the stomach, the turn of which to work has come. The same reason should forbid im mediate hard work of any kind after a meal. Let the stomach have its fair turn. Much indigestion may be classed as purely nervous In its origin. If the whole nervous system Is out of order and on strike. It would be strange If the nerves of the stomach should es cape the general calamity. In this type, constant doses of medicine for "stomach trouble” will do little good, but Judicious rest and general toning up of the whole nervous system may work a miracle. That most wretched of all the brief- ! er Illnesses known as a “ sick head ache,” in which, as the name implies, 1 the stomach Is a co-sufferer with the j head, Is much more apt to be caused by irritated brain centers than by abuse of the digestive organs, as is j proved by the frequency with which I an attack Is brought on by overuse of the eyes, or any continued strain or 'xcltement.— Youth's Companion.
