Both Expert In Logic. “Tom,” said a father to his son, whose school report showed him to have been an idle young scamp, “what bave you been studying this term?” “Logic, fatber,” replied Tom. *“I | can prove you are not here now.” “Indeed! How s0?” “Well, you must be elther at Roine or elsewhere.” “Certainly.” “You are not at Rome?” “No. “Then you must be elsewhere.” “Just so.” “And if you are elsewhere you clear- Iy can't be here. For answer the father took up a cane that lay near and laid it smartly across his son’s back. “Don’'t!” eried Tom. *“You are hurt- ing me. “Not at all. You have just proved conclusively that 1 am not here, so T can’t be hurting you.” Before his stern parent had quite done with him Tom felt that there Jnust be, after all, a flaw somewhere in his logic.—London Tit-Bits. The Creeping Kaffir. The sun was shining brightly down on the farmyard, and under a large willow tree a number of roolbekkjes— small, red beaked birds—were feeding. Suddenly a Kaffir appeared and fell on his knees about ten yards behind the birds. He crept a yard nearer, but if I bad not been watching him very closely I could have sworn that he did not move. The man seemed to be all in one piece. He moved entirely, not in sections of knees and legs and arms and upper body. Then he winked at me, so certain was he of the success of his exploit. 1 am certain some of e birds saw this alien figure, yet so Imperceptible were his motions that they did not suspect he was a human being—and a foe. Nearer and nearer he drew. Suddenly he lay still, meas ured the distance with his eye, and then, with a lightning motion, he stretched forward and grabbed. The birds arose, alarmed, shrieking shrilly —all but one. And that one was flut- tering, terrified and helpless, In the Kaffir's huge hand.—London Standard Friction Matches. Friction matches are a comparative- ly modern invention. They were first made by John Walker in Eugland in 1827, but were rather crude affairs, He improved them somewhat in 1833 by using phosphorus. The first really practical friction mateh was made in the United States in 1836 by L. C. Al len of Springfield, Mass. Before this time a clumsy form of match was im- ported from France, which had to be dipped into a bottle of sulphuric acid before it could be lighted. This took a great deal of time and trouble, and Allen, seeing the necessity for friction matches. set about to make them and succeeded. He neglected to patent them, however, and on finally apply- ing for letters patent found that a man named Alonzo Phillips, who was a peddler, had discovered through a third person the secret of making the matches and had already obtained a patent. Thus Allen, though the real inventor. was forced to become a mere manufacturer under another man’s pat- ent.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. . Moro Story of the Flood. The legend of the flood as told by the Moros is as follows: “When the forty days and nights of rain came No and his family got into a box. One pair of each sort of bird and beast also came in. Men who were busy with their ordinary occupa- tions and did not enter the box. were overtaken by the flocd. Those who ran to the mountains became mon- keys; those who ran to the water, fish. The Chinaman changed to a hornbill. A woman who was eating the fruit of a seaweed and would not stop was changed into a fish called a dugong, and her limbs can still be seen under its skin.” Mara’s V Mme. Mara had a v ed from middle G to I in alt and was one of the most facile and flexible ever known. She delighted in the forid music of Hasse, Graun, Benda, Jom- melli, Pergalese, Porpora, Sacchini and others of that school and with the ut- most ease executed passages that are now. consigned to solo instruments, such as the violin and flute. She held the stage from 1771 to 1802, with an occasional appearance after the latter date.

MAYOR IN PROCESSION Rides in Mourners’ Section, Led by Chief of Folice and Successor of Dead Man—Casket Is Borne on Hose Cart, Attended by a Guard of Honor of the Men Whom He For- merly Commanded. Chicago, Dec. 27.—Funeral services of public character were held for Fire Marshai James Horan, who met his death in the stock yards fire Thurs- day with twenty-two others. Mayor Fred A. Busse rode in the procession | in the mourners’ section and Chief of Police Leroy T. Steward and Assist- ant Chief Herman Schuettler led sev- eral platoons of police on foot. Acting Fire Marshal Charles Sey- ferlich, who arrived at the blaze a moment after his chief had been killed beneath the falling wall, marched at the head of a section of firemen. The casket, borne on a hose cart, was at- tended by a guard of honor, consist- ing of fire department division heads, and was followed by a line of equip- ages extending back for a mile and a half. Immediately following the purple draped hose wagon which bore the marshal’s body was driven his auto- mobile, the one in which he made a record breaking dash to Thursday’s fire—and to his death. The rear seat was occupied only by a fire marshal’s helmet. Two hose wagons bore floral pieces which had filled the Ashland avenue home and followed the black draped automobile. Thousands of persons lined the way over which the procession moved and bared heuads, tear filled eyes and mnr- muring throngs along the route paid {ribute to “Big Jim” Horan—the city's most popular fire fighter of a decade. FIVE WOMEN FOUND DEAD Heart Disease Cause of Demise in Each Case. Philadelphia, Dec. 27.—Five women were found dead in bed Christmas day in this city by other occupants of the houses where they lived. Death in each instance was due to heart dis- ease. Mrs. Elizabeth Farrell, sixty- five years old, was found dead by her daughter Jlizabeth. Under almost the identical circumstances her husband was found dead on Christmas a year ago. Mrs. Grace Daly, twenty-eight vears old, wife of “Jack” Daly, a for- mer well known pugilist, was found dead by Captain Briggs of the Salva- tion Army when he called to give Mrs. Daly a present. Mrs. Catherine Gibbons, seventy- five years old, who resided with a sis- ter, Mrs. Bridget Murphy, arose and was about to start to church when she died suddenly. Mrs. Nellie McAnany, thirty-eight vears old, was found dead by her hus- band. Mrs. Frazier, thirty-eight years old, was found dead by a relative. SEEKS END OF BOUNDARY WAR Santo Domingo Government Expects Peaceful Agreement. San Domingo, Dec. 27.—The gov- ernment of San Domingo is negotiat- ing with the Haytian minister here for a settlement of the border dispute with Hayti. The diplomat has con- sulted his governmeht and it is ex- pected a peaceful arrangement will be made. The boundary dispute between Santo Domingo and Hayti is of long standing, the latter occupying the .con- siderable territory claimed by the for- mer. Concessions granted to Ameri- cans by Hayti some time ago in the contested zone led to a demand by the Dominican government that the border question be submitted to arbi- tration. Advices from San Domingo state that a clash had occurred on the bor- der and that several persons wére killed. MOB KILLS ALLEGED SLAYER Hot Springs (Ark.) Prisoner Gets Change of Venue in Vain, st. Touis, Dec. 27.—Oscar Chitt- wood, charged with having killed Sher- iff Jake Houpt in Hot Springs, Ark., last August, was shot to death by a mob at Hot Springs, according to a telephone message from there. Chitt- wood was being taken from the connty jail to the police station when discov- ered by the mob. He was recently granted a change of venue and was to have have heen taken to Benton, Ark. The mob was made up of twenty men who wore handkerchiefs over their faces. IN A BRUSH WITH ARABS British Sailors Killed or Wounded.

But the innocent cooing and amorous gurgling did not cease. “And to think. to think,” quoth she, “that such heavenly bliss as fell to my lot might have escaped me forever! Dear Bob! Did I ever tell you he had proposed to me twice?” Then the unsympathetic auditor as- sumed an air of innocence. “Didn’t you hear him the first time?” she inquired with raised eyebrows. She Is not going to be the maid of honor.—Exchange. Silly Billy From Bolton. In a certain town in the north of England there is a man known by the name of Silly Billy, Not feeling well one day, he sent for the doctor. After examination the doctor asked him if he would take a note to the Model lcdging house and he would give him sixpence. So Billy, not lik- ing to refuse, said he would. But on the way there he came across a street sweeper that he knew. He told the sweeper where he was going, but he said if he would take the note he would give him threepence. So off he went and gave the landlord the note. and he found the following writ- ten: “Give this man a bath and keep him in till tomorrow morning, and 1 will call and see him.” 8o the following morning the doctor came and was shown futo his room. Looking at the man, he exclaimed: “This is not the man I sent!” 0. it’s not, and T'll pound Silly Bill bead off when I see him!” the sweeper replied.—London Telegraph. All Named Alike. A certain Lord Westmoreland fell in love with the daughter of Child, the rich banker, who, lowever, would not hear of the match. The lovers in spite of this met secretly and kept their love alive, while Child complacently con- gratulated himself that his daughter had forgotten her ‘whilom lover. One day, meeting Child in a club, Lord Westmoreland said, “What would yoa do if, like my friend, you were in love with a lady and her father refused his consent to allow them to marry? “Why, run away with ber, of course,” replied the unsuspecting Child. Lord Westmoreland promptly follow- ed the advice of the banker, -who be- came so irate that he refused to for- give the young couple and, dyiug, be- queathed all of his vast wealth to their child, Sarab. In order to secure the wealth Lord and Lady Westmoreland named all of thelr six children Sarah, boys included.—Ciyeinnati Commercial Tribune. . Physical Formation of Mexico. Mexico possesses a curious physical formation, Rising rapidly by a suec- cession of terraces from the low, sandy coasts on the east and west, it culminates in a central plateau run- ning in a northwesterly and south- easterly direction and having an eleva- tlon varying from 4,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea. High above this pla- teau tower the snow capped crests of several volcanoes, most of which are extinet. Ten of them are over 12,000 feet in height, and three look down upon fertile valleys from altitudes of 17,782, 17,356 and 16,060 feet. These are Popocatepetl, Orizaba and Ixtacel- huatl.
