Bowral aca He Told the Lawyer. Lawyer 8. is well known for his un. comely habits. He cuts his hair about four times a year and the rest of the time looks decidedly ragged about the ears, He was making a witness de- scribe a barn which figured in his last case. “How long had the barn been built?” “Oh, I don't know-—about a year mebby, about nine months p'r'aps.” “But just how long? Tell the jury how long it had been built.” “Well, I don’t know exactly—quite awhile.” “Now, Mr. B.,, you pass for an intel- gent farmer, and yet you can’t tell me how old this barn is, and you have lived on the next farm for ten years. Can you tell me how old your own barn is? Come, now, tell us how old your own house is, if you think you know.” Quick as lightning the old farmer replied: “You want to know how old my house is, do ye? Well, it's just about as old as you be, and the rocf{ needs seeing to about as bad.” In the roar that followed the witness stepped down, and Lawyer 8. didn't call him back.—London Globe. An Acceptable Clock. A well known professor sometimes became so much interested in his lec- ture that when the noon bell rang he kept the class five or ten minutes over the hour. Certain restless spirits among the students thought they would give him a gentle hint, so they bought an alarm clock, set it to go off precise- ly at noon and placed it on the profess- or's desk when they came in to the next lecture, They knew that he was a little absentminded and expected that he would not notice it As the noon hour struck the alarm went of! with a crash, and those of the class not in the secret started and took In the joke at once. There was a round of applause. The professor waited un- til the alarm and the applause were over and then said: “Young gentle men, thank you for this little gift. I had forgotten it was my birthday. An SE ——————————— AO A alarm clock is something my wife has needed for our servant for some time. | It is a very kind remembrance on your | part.” The professor then went on to | finish a demonstration interrupted by the alarm.—London Tit-Bits. ! Names of Flowers. It is interesting to know how cer- tain flowers get their names. Many were named after individuals, For instance, fuchsias were so called be- | cause they were discovered by Leo- | nard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for | Andre Dahl, who brought them from ! Peru. The camellin was so called for! a missionary named Kamel, who! brought some magnificent specimens | of the flower to France from Japan. He called it the rose of Japan, but his | friends changed it to camellia. Mag | nolins were named in honor of Pro- | fessor Magnol de Montpellier, who first brought the beautiful tree to | France from America and Asia. Be- | cause it trembled with the wind is | the meaning of anemone. The Latin | word to wash is lavare, and lavender | received its name because the Romans put the flowers into water when they | washed to perfume their hands.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. { Married by Blood. In the island of Banquey there is a tribe of Dusuns differing widely in language, religion and customs from other tribes bearing that name. Mar rlages are performed in the forest in the presence of two families. There fs no public gathering or feast. The rite consists in transferring a drop of blood from a wooden knife in the of the man's leg to a similar cut in the woman's leg. After marriage the man {akes the bride to her home, where he resides in future as a mem- ber of the family. Legal Repartee. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said the pompous lawyer, assuming his most imposing mien, “I once sat upon the judge's bench In Iowa.” “Where was the judge?’ quickly in quired the opposing attorney, and the pompous gentleman found the thread of his argument hopelessly entangled. Detroit Free Press, Offensive. “No, 1 don't like that woman,” de- elared Nuwed, “And why not?” “She's too blamed sorry for my wite to suit my ideas of what's requisite and necessary.” The avaricious man {8 always in want. t{orace, Fatally Burns Sister at Play, York, Pa, Nov. 10.—Gleefully throw- ing a lighted match on his playmate's dress to see it burn, William Seiple, four years old, set five-year-old Emma Fackler on fire, and she was, it is be. lleved, fatally burned. When the girl's dress blazed up she ran screaming to her mother, who beat out the flames with her hands. The mother was also burned severely. Two Killed In Collision. Woodstock, Va., Nov. 10.—In a head. on collision between two freight trains two miles north of here on the South- ern railway, Engineer Amon Johnson, of Alexandria, Va., and Fireman T. J. Jones, of Manassas, were killed, and Engineer D. W. Tuck and Conductor G. E. Rohr, both of Strashurg, Va. were injured, not seriously. RESULT OF POLITIGAL FEUD Robin Cooper Fired Three Shots, and Mr. Carmack Fell, Dying Instantly. Cooper Was Shot In the Right Shoulder—Dead Man Was Formerly a United States Senator and Had Many Friends In Washington Among Both Democrats and Republicans. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 10.—Former United States Senator Edward Ward Carmack, editor of the Tennessean, was shot and killed in Seventh avenue by Robin Cooper, son of Colonel Dun- can C. Cooper. Mr. Carmack was go- ing north in Seventh avenue, and Col- one! Cooper and his son were ap- proaching Seventh avenue in Union street. Soon after they came in sight of one another the shooting began. MZ a 41/7} ie A Hi il Robin Cooper fired three shots and Senator Carmack one. Colonel! Dun- can C. Cooper, it is said, drew a pistol, but did not fire. Senator Carmack fell to the ground with the trio of shots, dying instantly. Robin Cooper was shot in the right shoulder, but was not severely hurt. Three bullets struck Mr. Carmack. One entered the left side below the heart and another the left shoulder. The third bullet was in the neck and made a wound one and one-half inches long, and caused almost instant death. It is said that the tronble hetween the men is one of the results of the recent Democratic gubernatorial pri- mary, in which Carmack was defeat- ed. Carmack had, since he became editor of the Tennessean, been rather caustic in adversely criticising what he called the Democratic machine, and had printed several editorials about Colonel Cooper. Within the last few days, it is said, Colonel Cooper told Carmack that these editorial criticisms must cease. Monday another editorial reference to Colonel Cooper appeared in the Ten- nessean, and this is supposed to have been the immediate cause of the trou- ble. As soon as Senator Carmack fell on the edge of the street curbing Colonel Duncan Cooper put his arm around Robin Cooper, and both walked a few feet down Seventh avenue to Dr. R. G. Fort’'s office, where the slight wound in Robin's shoulder was treated. Dr. rt said that the wound was only slight. Had Many Friends In Washington. Washington, Nov. 10.—Senator Car- mack, who was Killed on a street in Nashville, is well remembered in this city, where he served in both houses of congress. During his senatorial ca- reer from 1901 to 1907 he made a number of brilliant speeches. Although inclined to be sarcastic in some of his utterances, he had many friends in congress among both Democrats and Republicans, who admired his fear lessness and hie intellectual attain- ments. FOILS THIEF WITH DYNAMITE Woman Made Desperate Attempt to Rob Rich Mrs. Phipps. Denver, Colo., Nov. 10.—A woman giving her name as Mrs. H. C. Cones compelled Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, divorced wife of- Lawrence Phipps, a Pittsburg milionaire, to take her in an automobile to a bank to get $20,000 that she demanded of Mrs. Phipps, whom she threatened to blow ‘0 pieces with dynamite. At the bank Mrs. Cones was overpowered by spe- cial officers. Two Italians Murdered. Roanoke, Va., Nov. 10.—Joe Chirace and Frank Oloi, Italians, were found murdered near Ripplemead, in Giles county, Va. Sheriff Durham, of Giles county, went to the scene, but found no trace of the murderers. A coroner's Inquest was held and a verdict re- turned. Chirace came to his death from stab wounds in the neck and Oloi from a gunshot wound in the head, the wounds being inflicted by some unknown person or persons. The men were employed In railroad comn- struction. Miss Ethel Nearly Thrown. Miss Ethel Roosevelt was riding behind the hounds in the Genesee Valley club's fox hunt, at Genesoe, N. Y., when her saddle horn slipped as her mount was taking a fence. The thoroughbred became fractious, and it looked for a moment as though Miss Ethel was in for a bad tumble. Harry Wilson, of Geneseo, dashed up in time to put Miss Roosevelt's horse under control. — Beau Nash as a Gambler. When the late Earl of T. was a youth he was passionately fond of play and never better pleased than with having Mr. Nash for his autago- nist. Nash saw with concern his lord- ship's foible and undertook to cure him, though by a very disagreeable remedy. Conscious of his own supe- rior skill, he determined to engage him in single play for a very consider- able sum. His lordship in proportion as he lost his game lost his temper, too, and as he approached the gulf seemed still more eager for ruin. He lost his estate. Some writings were put into the winner's possession. His very equipage was offered as a last stake, and he lost that also, but when our generous gamester had found his lordship sufficiently punished for his temerity he returned all, only stipulat- ing that he should be paid £5.000 whenever he should think proper to make the demand. However, he never made any such demand during his lordship’s lifetime, but some time aft- er his decease, Mr. Nash's affairs being in (sic) the wane, he demanded the money of his lordship’s heirs, who honorably paid it without any hesita- tion.—*History of Gambling In Eng- land.” The Margin of Profit. “There was a general storekeeper,” said a financier, “who was forced to the wall by hard times and resoived to make an assignment. He figured out that he would be able to pay 40 cents on the dollar. Well, a certain whole- saler that he had dealt pretty heavily with heard of his plight and came post- haste to see him. “‘What!" the wholesaler shouted. ‘Going to make an assignment! Pay only 40 ceuts on the dollar! A pretty state of things this is!’ “‘Calm yourself, Mr. Wholesaler, sald the general storekeeper. ‘It is true I am gohikr to assign. These hard times have played the very deuce with me. And it's true I'm going to pay only 40 cents on the dollar. But all your goods, it happens, are intact. Not a case has been opened, and they shall be returned to you at once.’ “ “What! shouted the wholesaler, an- grier than ever. ‘Return my goods! Not on your life! I insist on my law- ful 40 per cent, the same as the other creditors.” "— Washington Star. By the Name of “X.” In France, where great care is taken 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 curious incidents take place. On one occasion & young man was arrested in Constantine, Algeria, on a 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 Bad been “inscribed” at Bordeaux at the date of his birth, but his father and mother were not known, and the name of Lafonde, under which he had been inscribed without authority, 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. 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 senlptress, visited Rome, her soul filled with enthusiasm for music and art. On one occazion she was taken to one of Liszt's concerts and was fortunate enough to obtain a seat near enough to have touched him with her hand. As the great master played she lis- 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 overlaid cone hand over hers and gently pressed it In silent 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.—Balti- more Sun. Not on the Programme. Two stout old Germans were enjoy- ing their pipes and pilacidly listening to the strains of the summer garden orchestra. One of them in tipping his chair back stepped on a parlor match, which exploded with a bang. “Dot vas not on the programme,” he said, turning to his companion. “Yat vas not?" “Vy, dot match.” “Yat match?” “De match I valked on.” “Yell, I didn't see no match. Vat aboud it? “Vy, I walked on a match, and it | went bang, and I said it vas not on the programme.” The other picked up his programme and read it through very carefully. “I don't see it on the programme,” he sald. “Vell, I said it vas not on the pro- gramme, didn't I?” “Vell, vat has it got to do mit the programme anyway?

Ben- ton, of Fargo, N. D., the Warships Sponsor. Quincy, Mass, Nov. 10.—Amid the shrieking of steam whistles, the flap ping of flags and the cheers of a crowd of invited guests and shipyard officials and employes, the new bat: tleship North Dakota slid off the ways here. As the great vessel quivered before taking her first plunge into the water Miss Mary L. Benton, of Fargo, N. D., native daughter of the state from MARY L. which the battlesrip takes her name hroke over her bow a bottle of cham prgne, declaring as she did so, “I name thee North Dakota.” Among the invited guests who wit nessed the launching of the battleship BENTON. was John Burke, the newly-elected governor of North Dakota. The launching of the North Dakota means the introduction of a new type of warship in the American navy. She will be the first American all-big-gun battleship or real Dreadnought to fly the Stars and Stripes. The North Dakota, which is similar in all respects to the Delaware, which is under construction at Newport News, Va., will have a long forecastle deck extending from the bow almost to the center of the ship. The ten twelve-inch guns are arranged in five turrets, two to a turret, the forward turret being so located that the axis of its guns are twenty-four feet above the water line, and just abaft this turret is another, the barbette of which is of sufficient height for its guns to clear the roof of the forward turret. Abaft the break of the forecastle deck and also situated on the axis of the ship are two more twelve-inch gun turrets, the guns of the forward turret in this pair firing over the roof of the after turret. Abaft and near the stern is the fifth and last of the big turrets. Naval men declare that no navy in the world possesses a ship of the Dreadnought type in which the guns are better arranged. For repeiling torpedo attack the North Dakota will carry a secondary batery of fourteen five-inch guns. These guns are all mounted broad. side. The vessel will be driven by turbines and is expected to attain a maximum speed in excess of twenty- +ne knots an hour. Washington, Nov. 10. — The New York Shipbuiiding company, of Cam- den, N. J., was the lowest bidder for constructing the battleship Utah, bids for which were opened at the navy department. Their proposition is for a 203% knot vessel at $3,946,000. The Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock company was the lowest bid- der for installing machinery in the battleship Florida, being built by the government at Brooklyn, their bid be- ing $1,517,000, guaranteeing a vessel of 203% knots speed. For building a 21-knot ship the Fore River Shipbuilding company underbid William Cramp & Sons, the former's figures being $4,440,000 and the lat- ter's $4,450,000. Pups Bite Nine Children; One Dies.
