Tex. lie lias lived in (J my son county, near Sherman, f>o years. “When I first went to Texas from Kentucky in ,launary, I8ml, llu country and climate were dry,” lie said, “Kansas was habitually dry. In Texas llu black loam of Uraysoii county and the adjacent counties had barely enough moisture to raise a poor crop. Now there has been toe much ruin for the amount of tiling and the depth of drainage. “'The cliangf* lias Imvii gradual, just us it has hern in Kansas, W’est <>rn Kansas, which was once a desert, is now just a hunt right for agricul ture. The eastern end, which was once just right, has been deluged in late years.

Sir Henry Berkeley was telling the jury' that a witness Isaid he went to a certain shop fre quently. Mr. Slade objected that that state ment was not correct. 'The word used was “occasionally.” Sir Henry turned up his notes and found the words were “a good many times.’’ “A good many times” means “frequently." argued Sir Henry. “I venture to say Web ster will prove that.” A little later Sir Henry said th< witness was seen tasting the sugai at the Cheung f.oong shop. “He said testfWg,” interrupted the chief just ice. Sir IIi-iirv You test by tasting, my lord. I know a lot about sugar to my cost (smiles). ONE TOO MANY.

You don't know Hhe story? Well, it seems that two souls approached SI. Peter side by side, and the younger was repulsed stern ly by the saint on the ground that, since he had never been married, he had never known suffering. “The older man advanced with glgd confidence. He stated that he had been married l w ice. “But him, too, the saint repulsed, saving: ‘This is no place for fools.’ ” —Kansas ( ity dournal. A CHINESE OBJECTION TO RAIL ROADS.

BARGAINING WITH A BURGLAR. How an Old Banker Used Diplomacy to Get Rid of an Unwelcome Visitor. A group of his friends wen* dis cussing William W inslow Sherman, the old banker, who died not long ago. “lie had the coolest nerve of any man I know,” said oue. “Three or four years ago, when Sherman was an old man ami partially crippled bv reason of a fall from a horse, lie en tered his bedroom late at, night to I*ml a masked burglar ransacking it. “The thief laid a big gun raised on Sherman in a minute. The banker just waved it aside with a tired hand. ‘Put (bat away,* he said ir ritably. ‘Let us discuss this matter like gentlemen.' Tlu* burglar was so surprised he laughed. ‘Mow. you could hurt me if you wanted to, and might get away with some little knick-knacks.' said Sherman. ‘But you might lie caught, and there's a slight probability that you could dis pose of mv toilet articles profitably. W'lint would you consider a fair cash proposition to go away ?’ They talked it over in all peace. “ I he burglar thought he ought lo have ten dollars, hut Sherman, after inquiring into the man’s habits, said eight dollars was enough. ‘You see,* lie said, “you’re a known lliiof. If (Ids were your first of fense I’d pay you your price, hut now the police have your picture you ought lo he glad lo accept any fait compromise and run no risk.' “The burglar finally agreed to take eight dollars.

New York lleeees her dweller- by ordinance, her visitors by agreement, her transienls bv sandbags; Boston sells them copper slocks and revolu tionary souvenirs. The New Yorker who Inis escaped the alderman, the lobster palace and the sand bagger gives his money to a Imnk receiver, and that prudent person brings it: to Boston to escape the burglar. New York is a financial center, Boston is a financial refuge. People camp on the elill’s of Yew Y ork ; they have homes in Boston, (lothnm is clubbed by policemen; the Hub is policed by clubmen. New Y ork is a wav sta tion on the road to Hadi s; Boston is the gateway of Paradise. A FIGHTING SNAKE. There is only one snake in the far east—that is, Burma, India, Siam and the Malay peninsula— that will always and at all times at tack a man on sight. That is the hamadryad, justly more feared Ilian any other animal that crawls. Fortunately for mankind, they are not common except in limited dis tricts. They are so feared by all that the native skirarris or hunters will go miles out of their way to avoid the locality in which they arc? known to exist. The hamadryad will stalk a man as a tiger stalks his prey. USE OF OLD GOLF BALLS. A new use lias been found fox' old golf balls. The keeper of an upland links is a poultry breeder as well, and he utilizes the worst of the balls he finds ns “pot eggs” to test the “broody” propensities of his hens.— Manchester (Eng.) Guardian.
