The Historic Dollar.
They are holuing a church fair In
the coloulal novel. Of course, Gen.
Washington was there.
The girls, with the exception of Pol-
ly, our heroine, were for taking all the
general’s money away from him.
Polly demurred. For, oh. In those
days all nice girls knew how to de-
mur. It was natural.
"Leave him a dollar,’’ said Polly,
archly. “He will need it to throw
across the Potomac!”
When Washington heard of this he
kissed Polly cordially and commended
her accurate knowledge of history.

Buenos Ayres and the Argentine dele-

queen regent with a beautiful reli-

by the Spanish press as a sign of polit-

Thu Heraldo recounts a number of
Argentine measures testifying to the

“No,” said the policeman, kindly,

“Why not?” asked the tourist, In an
Incredulous tone.
“Because it’s against the law.”
The tourist looked at the statue in
question, a massive piece of contract
work, and then answered in a voice
indicating great resignation:
“Well, I don’t blame you. It’s al-
ways decenter for people to keep their
troubles to themselves instead of let-

is estimated that there were not lesr
than 15,000 people at the field. The
Beatty well of the Natio' rl Well uni
Pipe Line company, th? Higgins G 1
company's well furnished the amuse-
ment. The fiist two spouted into the
air and the Heywood w.is turn d loose
into a tank. The crowd went back
to town in good shape, and the last
train left for Houston about 6:30
o'clock.
While tiie crowd at the depot was
the thickest an jammed tegether lik
wheat in a shock, a difficulty occurred
m which a i Istol was exploded four
times in the heart of the crowd. Pete
Higgiaan, a well-known young man
of this city, had some words with a
negro named George Taylor, and the
negro ran at Hlggnian with a long
knife in one hand while he struck
him over the head with an umbrella
i in the other hand. Four shots were
. tired. Three of the bull- ts took effect
tn the negro’s head, while the fourth
, struck Mr. O. F. Nugent of Vinton,
' 1a., who was star.uing in the crowd,
in the left thigh. The negro is nut
thought to be fatally hurt, though he
may not live. He was struck on the
chin, once in the left eye and the
other time in the top of the head.
Physicians C. C. Nash and D. D.
Henderson, who examined him, said
the wounds were noe necessarily fatal,
though very serious. Nugent was not
seriously hurt Hlggman was ar-
rested.

Horrible Hou ft ton Holocaust.
Houston, Tex., April 29.—Probably
the most destructive fire, involving loss
of life, that ever occurred in Houston
started at 3 o’clock Sunday morning.
After the fire department had checked
the ravages of the flames and poured

hundred hands dug In the debrie and
evtrfcated the charred remains of a
whole family.
The Are broke out in the livery sta-
