Lloyd M. Stevens, of the fi-
nance committee of the little
town of Victoiia needs even §40,-
000,000 with which to buy public
utilities and is bowed low with
gr'ef because the money is not
insight. Just step over to'the
Fact office and" tell Cooke to let
you have what you need, Mr.
Stevens..
In a Texas town - it may have
seen Mineral Weils—the fol low-
lowing question was tackled by
the debating society: "Re-
sol v'ed, That whisky has a greater
infl cjenceaver man than woman."
After hammering on the subject
for seven days and seven nights,
the decision was, "That a man
wo aid go farther fu r a woman
but of toner for a drink."
T.
p:op*p are nolLing if
not romantic. The Schulenburg
Sticker has a bunch of country
correspondents that are not of the
ordinary, but of this fashion:
iilue Eyed Boy, Cousins to Blue
Eyed Boy, Beautiful Eyes, Snow
White and Red Rose, Slim Jim,
Robin Red Breast, Golden Locks,
American Beauty and Old Batch-
elor Boy. As a sort of balance
wheel one signs himself or her
self Suppenknocher.—Newberg,
Oregon, Enterprise.
To keep the record straight,
dear brother Jolin, you should
have included in your list seven
more, Billy and Me, Everybody's
? Friend, Middle Creek Sonny,
Tulips, A True Friend, Mamma's
Pet, Old Mother Goose, Guess
Who ?, Nobody's Darling and
Senora.
Henry Starr, the Oklahoma
gentlemau who was recently shot
in the—limb by an 18-year-old
boy and captured just after he
had takin part in the robbing of
two Stroud, Oklahoma, banks,
ives out the following which
ihould be read twice by every
boy in the land:
Now they call m&a great out-
law. Some people cry to make
hero out of me and all out-
laws. You put this in the paper
as a warning to all boys who
have such foolish notions. It
will show them the seamy side
of this joutlaw game. I went to
Wyoming with "$10. I hunted
work. I worked on the section
for $1 a day. I cut grass; I dug
ditches; I worked in a furniture
store; but every time I got a job
some one would point me out as
"the bad man from Oklahoma,"
and they kicked me out. I just
couldn't light anywhere. I
couldn't "beat back."
>me.fellow blew into the last
Mature and irttrouued a bill—
fool can introduce a bill—
the strange part of it was it
through both houses like
;ied lightning and only lacked
^gnature of the governor to
it law. It was a measure
led up to beliltle and dis-
grace every newspaper man in
Texas without bringing good to
any body. It happened that the re!
was a MAN in the governor's
chair when the bill was brought
up to be signed, and Farmer
Jim being a man of and for the
people, shredded the bill and
threw it into Jno. McKay 's trash
basket. For this one act every
printer in Texas should take off
his $7.53 Panama to Farmer Jim
Ferguson, one of the best gov-
ernors the state has had since
the days of Jim Hogg.
In a recent investigation it was
learned that the Pullman car
people paid their porters the
princely salary of $42 a month,
bare'y enough to keep a grass-
hopper alive, leaving the balance
of about §127 a month t5 be
filched from their patrons. It
must take gall and lots of it on
the part of a Pullman official to
look one of their colored porters
in the face.

HAD NO SYMPATHY COMING
For His Own Good, Farmer Was
Given Altogether Too Much
to Inference.
One day, as a good citizen of Posey
county was out in the woods looking
for 'taster bugs he observed a small
animal of some sort dodge into a hole
in a bank.
"As the hole is none too large for a
cat, I must infer that the creature is
not a bear," mused the farmer as he
drew nearer.
Standing off a few feet he examined
the hole with interest and continued:
"Yes, I must also infer that the ani-
mal is not a stray wolf. No large ani-
mal can conceal itself in a small
hole."
This was philosophy not to be dis-
puted, and after patting himself on
the back the old man continued:
"I infer that it is not a coon as I
saw no rings around his tail. Had it
been a fox it would have moved with
greater celerity. A woodchuck would
have left hairs behind him, and as
there are no tracks I must infer that
I have not holed up a 'possum. Yes,
my inference does me credit, but I
shall thrust in a pole and bring the
animal out just to see what species he
really does belong to."
Half an hour later as he approached
his house, his wife stood in the door-
way and called out:
"Mercy on me, Samuel! What have
you been doing?"
"I got a critter in a hole and poked
him out," he replied.
"But don't you know better?"
"I inferred that it was neither a
bear nor a fox." .
"Of course it wasn't. Phelv!"
"And I inferred that it was neither
a 'possum coon or woodchuck."
"Keep away, Samuel, keep away!"
"And so I poked with a stick to
see what it was."
"Yes; that's like an old fool! When
you was inferring all them infers, why
cKdn't you infer that it was a pole-
cat and let the thing alone? We won't
get rid of the smell all summer!"
Our hindsight is always better than
our foresight.
VENTILATION IN COAL MINES
Many Points to Be Observed in the
Installation of Indispensable
Machinery.
The supreme importance of good
ventilation in coal mines is now gen-
erally recognized, and what consti-
tutes good ventilation is the subject
of a bulletin issued by the IT. S. bu-
reau of mines. An efficient ventilat-
ing system must supply fresh air in
sufficient quantities for all the men.
and must dilute and render harmless,
and quickly remove, all dangerou*
gases in the workings. Large airways
and slow-moving but ample currents
are better than narrow airways and
air currents moving so fast that they
stir up and carry the coal dust, and
the ventilating fan should be kept
running 24 hours a day whether there
are men in the mine or not. The fan
should not be placed over the* shaft or
in front of a drift or slope opening
into the mine, but at one side, so that
it will not be disabled in case of an
explosion. Generally it Ss a serious
mistake to reverse the fan. If there
is a fire in the mine this is likely to
drive inflammable gases over the fire
and cause an explosion, and at any
■time there Is danger that reversing
the fan will push the inflammable
gases out on naked lights.—Modern
Mechanics.
China's Indestructible Wall.
Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along a
large part of the Great Wall of Ghina.
The bricks of the parapet are as firm
as ever, and their edges have stood
the severe climatic conditions of North
China with scarcely a break. The pav-
ing along the top of the wall is so
smooth that one may ride over it
with a bicycle, and the great granite
blocks with which it is faced are
smooth and as closely fitted as when
put in place more than two thousand
years ayo. The entire length of llii3
wall is 1,400 miles: it is 22 feet high
and 20 feet in thickness. At intervals
of 100 yards or so there are towers,
some 40 feet in height.
Faftious French Writer.
Victor Hugo was born in Besancon,
France, m 1802. He was the son of a
colonel in the French army and re-
ceived a classical education. After the
revolution of 1830 his plays of "Ma-
rion de Lorme" and "The King
Amuses Himself" were performed at
the Theatre Francais. 1-Ie was cre-
ated by Louis Philippe a peer of
France, with the title of viscount, but
he arose above this honor in being the
author of "Les Miserables." He op-
posed Napoleon III and was banished
from France, but he returned on the
fall of the empire. He died in Paris
in 1885 and was buried in the
Pantheon.
Cheap Paint
There are 1000 "cheap" paints
and a dozen really cheap ones.
That double word "cheap'' is the
cause of wasting more money than
good paint costs, two or three times
over.
Cheap paint good paint; there is
no other; no other is cheap.
The two words sound alike but
their meanings are opposite.
"Cheap" costs double. Cheap is
Devoe.

Measles Fatal to Adults.
Even adult white men succumb to
measles when they are herded very
closely together and exposed to a
virulent infection. There have been
outbreaks in. logging camps which
were terrible. The onset of the germ
was strong enough to break down the
resistance of the ordinarily immune
individual. On the other hand, the
Chinese are said to be almost com-
pletely safe from scarlet fever, and
the fact that Japanese take this dis-
eaee even more readily than do whites
1b one of many proofs that there is
a strong admixture of Polynesian or
Malay blood in the people of Nippon.
