Waco and Arkansas. Every town has a right to pronounce its name in its own way, but Texans never seemed to get together on the pronunciation of the name "Waco." Years ago Texas was represented by two senators, one of whom called the town "Way-ice," whereas the other in sisted it was "Wack-ko." The reading clerks had a merry time. If the word were read one way the opposing sena tor would make a complaint, and vice versa. It recalls the time when Arkansas was represented in the senate by (Jar land and Walker. One insisted that the state should be called "Arkansas," just as it is spelled. The other always insisted upon "Arkansaw." John .). Ingalls. who was presiding oflieer of the senate in those days, had the mat ter down to such a nicety that he would recognize the one as "the sena tor from •Arkansas'" and the other as "the senator from 'Arkansaw,'" be ing very careful to give each senator ins favorite pronunciation.—Washing ton Cor.

Now, what'U you have?" The dapper little traveling man said he was not very hungry and a cup of coffee and some hot cakes would do.— Exchange. Lord Southey's Guillotine. The most eccentric action of an ec centric man was I.ord Southey's cool arrangement for suicide by means of a guillotine. He had a magnificent one erected in the drawing room of his house in the Hue du Luxembourg at Paris. The machine was of ebony in laid with gold and silver, the frame work carved with artistic skill; the knife, sharp as a razor, was of polished and ornamented steel. Preparing for death, his lordship had his hair cut close, and, clothed in a robe of white silk, he kneeled upon the platform un der the knife before a mirror and pressed the spring which should re lease the knife. But the spring failed to work, and the would be suicide de cided to give the guillotine to a mu seum instead of making a second at tempt to end fcts life. It is said that lie made an annual pilgrimage to see the guillotine until the end of his life. How the Chinese Preserve Grapes. To preserve grapes the Chinese cut a circular piece out of a ripe pumpkin or gourd, making an aperture large enough to admit the hand. The in terior is cleaned out, the grapes placed inside and the cover replaced and pressed in firmly. The pumpkins are then putin a cool place, and the grapes retain their freshness for a long time. Careful selection of the pump kin is requisite, the common field pumpkin, however, being well adapted for vne purpose. Quite Willing to Migrate.

The farmer, of course, gave his note. The borrower lost on the stock deal and had hard luck generally, so he couldn't pay the note. Later he went away, and after many years he made good again and returned. The banker tried to collect his note, but It was outlawed by a lapse of thirteen years. One day the banker stopped at the man's farm and admired bis fine pump kins. The farmer made him a pres ent of two large ones. "I'll just credit these pumpkins on your old note," the banker said. "All right," the farmer said. That revived the obligation. The banker brought suit and recovered in full for the note and interest.—Kansas City Star. Life's Limits.
