Says a correspondent of the London Chronicle: “This writer knows of a west country Iinglish farmer, a hard headed business man, who uses the latest machinery on his farm, yet holds the belief in pixies as firmly as any article of his religious creed. Having been visited by a series of minor mis- fortunes, he confided to the writer in the utmost seriousness his fear that he had offended a pixy by inadvertently stepping into a fairy ring and stated that he intended going on the morrow to the white witch at Exeter to get further misfortune averted. And this level headed business man took a day from his farm in the busiest time of the year and journeyed to Exeter and back—a matter of some sixty miles— for this purpose. On his return he was as one who had cast off a heavy bur- den. But the white witeh’s mysteries no persuasion could induce him to re- veal.” Marked Him. “Are you aware who I am?” “Sure! Didn’t I just call you an old ! 1diot?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. ! { ‘Miss Miaml Brown.

Talking Down. The superintendent of. a Sunday school class in Philadelphia recently called upon a visitor to “say a few words” to the class, the members of which are mostly children of .tender age. The visitor, a speaker well known for his verhose and circumlocutory mode of speech, began his address as follows: “This morning, children, 1 purpose to offer you an epitome of the life of St. Paul. It may be perhaps that there are among you some too young to grasp the meaning of the word ‘epitome.” ‘Epitore,” children, 8 in its signification synonymous with sy-. nopsis.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Explosive Dfamonds. A curlous fact about diamonds fis that it is not uncommon for the crys- tals to explode as soon as they are brought up from the mine. Sometimes they havé burst in the pockets or the warm hands of miners, due to the ef- fect of increased temperature. Large stones are more likely to do this than small ones. Valuable stones have been destroyed in this way. To safeguard them some dealers place large dia- monds In raw potatoes for safe trans- port from South Africa. Nonreversible.

Wity e 1000 PEOPLE AND HORSES FINEST HORSES ON EARTH LARGEST LIONS IN CAPTIVITY Not in Bemidji unfil Thursday, July 22nd By the Name of “X.” In France, where great care is takes that men shall have no other name than that to which they are lawfully entitled and where every citizen's name, profession, social condition and history are carefully recorded and his goings and ‘comings are officially kept track of, some very curlous incidents take place. On one occasion a young man was arrested in Constantine, Algeria, on & charge of stealing money belonging to his employer. When it was sought to 'make a record of his name, it was| found that he had no lawful name at all. He had been “Inscribed” at Bordeaux .at the date of his birth, but his father and mother were not known, and the mame of Lafonde, under which he had been inscribed without awuthority, he had since been forbidden by a court of Justice to bear because it was not rightfully his. After having been for- bidden the name of Lafonde he took that of Bruyton and -was refused per- mission to bear that. 3 Nevertheless he managed to exist in some way without any name at all, but when, having been accused of tak- ing some money that had disappeared, the law was obliged to take cognizance of him in some way he was entered on the lists of the court as one “X.” And it was as “X” that he was sent to prison.—New York Tribune. An Inspired Sculptress. As a mere girl Miss Vinnie Ream, the sculptress, visited Rome, her soul filled ‘with enthusiasm for music and art. On one occasion she was taken to one of Liszt’s concerts and was fortunate enough to obtain a seat mear enough to have touched him with her hand. As the great master played she ls- tened rapturously to the wonderful music, entranced and forgetful of ev- erything save the glorious sounds pro- duced by his Inspired touch. At a pause Liszt turned and looked at her, and quietly, without a word, he leaned and overlald one hand over hers and gently pressed It in sllent recognition of the appreciation which glowed in her large black eyes and filled her whole being. At the close of the concert he turned to her and said, “My child, we need no introduction.” At her earnest request that he would sit for her he readily consented, and she modeled the bust from life, putting in the work the true artist’s inspiration and power, which alone can give to it the ‘touch of strength and life.—Baltl- mon: Snn. Imyrna Figs. Smyrna figs ripen by the beginning of_August. They are not picked, but when they reach a certain maturity they begin to dry, and consequently they drop on the ground. In the morn- ing everybody on the plantations goes around with buckets gathering the fruit, which they carry to a certain place where the ground is covered with dry leaves and Straw (sergel) and on which they spread the fruit, exposing it to the sun, allowing it to remain there from two to three days. It takes about three days to dry the fig if north winds prevail, as the at- mosphere is then very dry. If, hows ever, westerly winds are blowing, which means heavy dew at night, the frult must remain exposed to the sun from five fo seven days. This is a dangerous period, as rain or even a ghower might ruin hundreds of tons of fruit lying on the ground. Heavy dews sometimes are just as detrimental. The proper atmospheric conditions to insure a crop of large; sound, rich figs are west winds in June and July, fol- lowed by north winds in August, and from then on an occasional west wind every five or six days. The Miser’s Carpet. “Dr. Quain, the eminent physician, full of Hibernfan wit, would some- times tell unauthorized anecdotes of his professional experiences,” says Sir Algernon West in “One City and Many Men.” “Once he was attending a well known man of miserly habits in Mayfair, who when very ill asked him to honestly tell him if he would ever again rise from his bed of sick- ness. The doctor thought he never would. ‘Please ring the bell,’ said the patient, and when he had secured the attendance of his housekeeper he sald: ‘Have the strip of carpet by my bed- gide, which is a good one, wrapped up and put away. I shall not want it again, and §f it Is left here those un- dertaker’s men -will be sure to spoil it with their dirty bootsl’” A Man's Tact. Nobody but Mr. Henley would have asked such a question in the first place. “Miss Falrley,” he sald, “if you could make yourself over what kind of hair and eyes would you have?’ “If T could make myself over,” said@ Miss Fairley, “I would look just ex- actly as I do now.” “You would?” exclaimed Henley in honest surprise, and to this day he ‘ean’t understand why Miss Fairley thinks him a man of little taste and less tact. Woman the Tougher Sex. Although men, as they run, are per- | haps muscularly stronger than women, their inability to withstand the ele- ments and their reliance upon clothes place them considerably below the so called' weaker sex in the matter of un- clothed toughness. Women wear clothes for ornament. Men use them as pro- tectlve covering. A group of men ma- rooned clotheless on an island in the temperate zone might be expected to die off in a mouth from drafts and colds and rheumsatism. The health of ‘women similarly placed would suffer little from the enforced exposure. The fact appears to be, therefore, that in everything but muscle—in vitality, rug- gedness, character, disposition, brain power, etc.—woman is the tougher, not the weaker, sex.—Kansas City Journal. A Xantippo Outwitted. An Englishman of Lymington -had the misfortune to live In a continuous quarrel with his wife, who was a mod- ‘| ern Xantippe and threatened in case she survived him to dance over his grave. It was her lot to outlive him, but it was not so easy to carry out her threat. - The husband had the pre- caution to make an injunction in his will requiring his body to be buried in the sea near his residence and without ceremony. The injunction was com- plied with. SIXTY-FIVE MEN ~ ARE ENTOMBED Serions Explosion in Peni- -Sylvania Colliery. Three Workmen Taken Out Dead, Six Fatally Injured and Twenty-five Se- riously Hurt—Deadly Black Damp Is Pouring From the Mouth of the _ Shaft, “Effectually Preventing Res- cue Work. * Wehrum, Pa., June 24.—As a result of an. explosion in mine No. 4 of the Lackawanna Coal and Coke company here three miners are known to be dead, six _lata%v injured and twenty- five seriously hurt, while it is feared that sixty-five men, believed to be still in the mine, may be burned to death. More than 100 men were at work when the explosion occurred. The mine is burning fiercely at sev- eral places and deadly black damp is pouring from the mouth, effectually Preventing systematic rescue work. Large quantities of oxygen and many oxygen tanks have been re- quested from the Cambria Steel com- pany of Johnstown, Pa., and the Unit- ed States government mining and testing station at Pittsburg. Just what caused the explosion has not been ascertained, but it probably resulted from an accumulation of gas. The scenes about the mine are ex- tremely pathetic. Relatives and friends of the victims are hysterically weeping and retarding greatly the work of rescue. Despair Settles on Watchers. The first report that came to the anxious watchers at the mouth of the mine was that two or three men had been injured and that the accident might not turn out so seriously as such accidents generally do. This buoyed up the relatives and friends of the miners for a short time, but, as the minutes sped and only a few of the men reached the surface burned and seriously injured, despair began to settle on the watchers. When the first three men succeed- ed in escaping from the pit they stat- ed brokenly, while suffering the greatest agony from burns, that the explosion was a bad one. It appearcd to them that the explosion had taken place throughout the entire mine and that every one at work in the mine seemed for a moment or two to be paralyzed. P Following the explosion there was a flash and then all was darkness. Piti- ful calls for help and groans were heard as the three men made their way to the entrance, staggering and falling over the bodies of comrades who had succumbed with the first shock. DARING ROBBERY IN TEXAS Lohe Bandit Secures $8,100 From Fort Worth Bank. Fort Worth, Tex., June 24.—A high- wayman robbed the branch banking house of the Wagoner Bank and Trust company in the down town district of Fort Worth of $8,100 in currency, made his escape and succeeded in evading searching parties of police and citizens. The robbery was the most daring attempted in Texas in years. Cash- fer Walter E. King was alone in tlie bank, balancing the business of the day, when a well dressed stranger walked in, covered King with a revol- ver and demanded the cash in sight. King complied and the man backed out of the door under cover of his own pistol. UNABLE TO PREVENT ACT Paralyzed Musband Witnesses Wife End Her Life. Chicago, June 24.—John Bennett, deprived of the use of his limbs by paralysis, was compelled to witness in helpless terror the deliberate sui- cide of his wife. Unable to move a finger he was able to shout, but no person except the wife heard his cries. Mrs. Bennett calmly placed a chair under a gas jet near her invalid hus- band's bed and to the fixture tied a rope. Unheeding her husband’s fran- tic screams she affixed the noose and kicked the chair from under her foot. There she hung until life was extinct. BELIEVED TO BE AMERICANS Nine Tourists Drowned at Killarney, Ireland. ‘ Killarney, Ireland, June 24.—A boat containing nine tourists, presumably Americans, and four boatmen, was swamped on Lower Killarney lake. All the tourists and two of the boat- men were drowned. Shoots Two; Commits Suicide. Albany, N.

RACING AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY Suburban Handicap Feature of Open- ing Day. New York, June 24.—The feature of the race meeting at Sheepshead Bay is, as usual, the Suburban handicap, the oldest and most famous of the great spring handicaps, which will be run today.

New York, June 24.—In the suit of Mrs. Katherine Clemmons Gould for & separation from her husband, How- ard Gould, Mr. Shearn, Mrs. Gould's counsel, continued the march of serv- ants and friends of his client to the witness stand in an effort to refute the testimony of intoxication and other indiscretions which was given by the witnesses for the defense. Two or three things occurred to stay the progress made by Mr. Shearn in Mrs. Gould’s behalf. large number of refreshment checks from the Hotel St. Regis for large quantities of cocktails and other bev- erages furnished her during her resi- dence at the hotel, and particularly during the fall of 1906, when the de- fense contends that Dustin Farnum, the actor, often dined with Mrs. Gould in her apartments, did not coincide with the testimony of waiters and maids and other St. Regis employes who were in attendance on Mrs. Gould that they had never seen her drink anything. The waiter who swore that he practically served all of Mrs. Gould’s meals for a period of eight ‘weeks in her rooms and never knew of her ordering anything but a little light wine now and then unfortunate- 1y got his dates mixed and repeatedly placed the time of his service at a period when it was conceded by both sides that Mrs. Gould was in Europe.
