A Mid-Winter Excursion , Hot Springs.
There are thousands and thousands of
tneiy and women in the western states
who would be greatly _ benefitted bv a
month's sojourn at Hot Springs , South

for their accommodation that the Burling

Springs. Tuesday , January 24111. The
rate will be one fare for the round trip
and tickets will be good thirty days.

Writers Picture Him.
"I have read a good many stories , "
said tbo city man , "about the honest
newsboy who chases a man three blocks
to return the $5 goldpiece given in
mistake for a nickel , the sympathetic
bootblack who protects the widow's
son , or the heroio street gamin who
gets run over by a dray while rescuing
another boy and murmurs , 'Is Jimmy
all right ? ' and then dies. I have come
to the conclusion that these stories are
*
written by girls fresh from school or
refined old maids who live in a village ,
and they are read by men who thought
fully stick the tongue into the check
while reading. Yet there are men who
read and believe.
"I saw one of this class the other day
who went to the rescue of a bootblack
who was trying to fix his broken box.
" 'My lad , ' said the good man they
always call them 'lads' in these stories
'you are in trouble. Let me assist
you. '
"Then he knelt on the sidewalk in
his good clothes , used a half brick for
a hammer , raked up some twine from
his pocket and after 15 minutes' hard
work made a creditable job. Mean
while about 30 street boys gathered
around. One slipped a piece of old iron
into his pocket , the grateful bootblack
with a bit of chalk decorated his back
with a hideous caricature , his hat was
knocked into the gutter as ho arose ,
and one of the boys accused him of
stealing a 'dabber. '
"The man flushed with natural in
dignation , and immediately there arose
a whoop of derision , and as he strode
away he was guyed by the whole crowd
for two blocks. While in this frame of
mind it would have done him good to
have interviewed some of the ladies
who write the picturesque tales about
the imaginary street boys. " Chicago

PANBESA'S LETTER.
An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty
Centuries AIJO.
Probably the oldest letter in the
world is the letter of Panbesawritten
15 centuries before Christ to his friend
Amenemapt , a scribe.
The manuscript is of perishable papy
rus , and it ia amazing that it should
have survived for more than SO cen
turies and still be legible.
It is preserved in the collection of the
British museum. It has been several
times translated during the present cen
tury. It presents an interesting picture
of life in Egypt in the time of Barneses
IL It is more in the nature of a literary
production , a poem composed in cele
bration of the visit of Pharaoh to the
city of Pa-Barneses , than an ordinary
letter of today.
Panbesa "greets his lord , the scribe
Amenemapt , to whom be life , health
and strength , " and then goes on to de
scribe the verdant fields , the thrashing
floors , the vineyards , the groves of
olives , the orchards of figs , the great
daily markets , with their fish and wa
terfowl and swarxns of purchasers.
The citizens had their "sweet wine
of Khexni , pomegranate wine and wine
from the vineyards , " and to these they
added " of "
"beer Kati.
There was music in plenty furnisher !
by the singers of the school of Memphis.
On the whole , Pa-Barneses seems to
have been a pleasant place to live in.
"The lesser folk are there equal with
the great folk , " and Panbesa writes
that its maidens were "in holiday at
tire every day" with locks "redolent
of perfumed oil. " Washington Star.
A Method In Hl Manner.
It was raining cats and dogs outside ,
and the Columbus avenue car was
crowded. A young woman stood looking
from one seated man to another , but the
men would not budge. She looked tim
idly , then appealingly , then daggers ,
but they did not care.
Finally the worst dressed and rough
est looking man in the car got up.
"Hero is a seat for you , mum ; " he
said suavely.
"Oh , thank you ever BO much , " said
the young lady , shooting glances at the
other men which said , "You are gentle
men , but this uneducated laborer could
give you a lesson in manners. "
Presently she was shifting about on
her mat , shielding now her face , now
her white stand up collar and looking ,
with a troubled face , at a point in the
coiling from which the water came
down at irregular intervals in splashes
as big as a cent.
The well dressed men buried their
smiles in their newspapers. The labor
er , now ensconced in a corner near the
driver , gave his vis-a-vis a wink. New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Goosoberrle * on Tree * .
Travelers in Burma see many strange
things , and perhaps one of the strangest
is the way in which some kinds of fruit
grow.
For instance , gooseberries that at
bomo grow on small bushes in this part
of the world grow on trees over 25 feet
high. They are not a soft , pulpy fruit ,
but are as hard as marbles.
The real Barman grapes also grow
on high trees and not on vines. They
bang from the branches and trunk of
the tree in clusters on a long stalk and
ire covered with a thick outer skin ,
( vhich cannot be eaten.
The cachou , or monkey nut , is also
peculiar and consists "of a largo , juicy
fruit of soft pulp , with its nut or kernel
attached to the outside of the fruit at
the end farthest from the stalk from
ivhich it hangs. London Standard.
A Logical Conclusion.
In a recent "Walla Walla divorce suit ,
in which the defendant failed to ap-1
? ear , the referee made the following re- j
? ort : i
"The plaintiff appearing in person ,
ind by her attorney , and tbe defendant )
tot appearing and no ono appearing for'
lira , therefore he did not appear. "
