Cleanest Town In Texas.
j Judge M. M. Stuckey is in re
jceipt of a letter from a promi
jnent Odd Fellow friend, W. A.

| Texas, who was also grand rep
resentative of the Sovereign
1 Grand Lodge of Texas the same
i year Judge Stuckey held a simi
jlar honor from the grand ’edge
of this state, in which the Texas*
mayor says:
“Holland’s, a Texas magazine,
has been conducting a Cleanest
Town in Texas Contest during
the past year. The Magazine
has had Dr. M. M. Carrick, a
noted Sanitary Expert, as their
medical director, and he has vis
ited about 90 towns that entered
the contest. Bonham was one of
the contestants, and sought the
high honor of being the clean
est town in all Texas, and placed
herself in a receptive mood for
the $1000 cash prize which ac
companied the honor. The in
spector made three visits to
Bonham, the last time being ac- i
companied by the Ex-State
Health Officer, Dr. C. E. Can
trell of Greenville, Texas. It
was determined from the begin
ning that the winner of this
great honor must merit it. On
the first announcement Bonham,
with three other towns, stood at
the head of the list with 9b
points to her credit. The second
inspection, Bonham stood with
just one town in her class, and
the third inspection, Bonham
won the honor. I write you be
cause I feel that you would like
to hear of Bonham being a pat
tern for the towns of the South
land in the matter of cleanliness.
Show this letter to your local pa
per for they will be glad to get
this item. The honor just came
today, and I write you at once.
Come to Bonham, Texas.”

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN '
Old Gentleman Went Too Far in Hie
irgu - . a d Demonstration
Pr ,v3d His Undoing.
Ar chicly gentleman walking
through h:s prhn one' day stopped
before a tig tree on which were two
figs just ripening. His favorites were
iigs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma
turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs, the gardener sent, his
little hov of seven with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and,
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
tempting fruit.
The attraction was too great; h« ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand
On being asked if the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after a mo
ment's silence, answered: "I ate one.''
“You ate one’ How?" exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily, "llow did you
come to do that?”
Dropping his eyes to the basket. “I
took it like this," said the child, taking
the remaining fig, “and T ale it like
this.”
And, suiting the action to the word
he consumed the second lig before the
astonished eyes of the old gentleman
LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preacher’s Humorous Comment
on Biblical Text As He Under
stood its Meaning.
Ur Oia me ripni oi muiuuuui
Interpretation of Uie scriptures was
rot accorded to the laity. Only the
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaam’s palace mule did not
really address his fallow citizens of
Judea on the political issues of the
day, or considering that the statement
of the sun’s standing stiU at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record of a frozen
fact.
This advance in theology is Ulus
trated by the story of the darky
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, “These eight did Mllcah
bear."
“Muffrlnds." said he, “you is singu
larly blessed by de I.awd in dis gen
eration. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youah cow, and at one
milk you gets enough of de laciferous
fluid fob eight people. In de olden
times of which de Bible speaks It
took eight folks to milk a bear, en I
specs dey gets mighty little milk at

Spiders Catch and Eat Fish.
Specimens of the spider known M
Thalassius Spencerl are in the mu
seum at Durban, Natal, and th» cu
rator, E. C. Chubb, has Just made sci
entific announcement of the discovery
of a member of this species in the act
of catching fish for food.
One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N.
Abraham at Greytown, and It was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
boy soon noticed the creature eating
a pet fish, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
The spider, three Inches across with
legs extended, stationed Itself at the
water's edge, with two legs on a
stone and the eight others spread out
on the water. After a time a Ash
came under the putstretched legs,
which were suddenly thrown around
It as the spider made a plunge, driv
ing Its fangs into Its prey, and then
at once climbing out on the rocks. It
soon ate a Ash of four times its own
weight. -
Bagdad and Queen of Sheba.
The Bagdad of the "Arabian Nights"
still exists, but in a greatly diminished
form. In fact the grand old palaces
and mosques of its prime are nearly
all in ruins, and only a small popula
tion lives where once was a city of
2,000,000 people. A new city is
gradually coming lnb* existence on
the opposite (east) bank of the Tigris,
the site being valuable from a comp
mercial point of view. The inhabitants
number about 200,000, and are mainly
Bedouins. The famous palace of Har
oun-al-Raschlld has disappeared, and
the foreign consulates occupy its site.
It 1b only a tradition which asserts
that -the queen of Sheba, who onoe
visited King Solomon, lies buried un
der an elghteided brick tower bear
ing her name in old Bagdad. The oitlr
zens have ceased to venerate it, we
are told, and the tower is approaching
a state of ruin.
Concerning Men With Tails.
It would not be wise to build upon
the story of the coast natives that in
the interior of Papua there are men
with tails. Similar beliefs have been
held in many parts of the world and
many ages, sometimes from impres
sions of apes, sometimes from more
or less spiteful credulity about a peo
ple’s neighbors. For centuries it was
a common gibe on the Continent that
Englishmen had tails. It originated
from the story that the people ol
Canterbury or Strood, having mocked
at St. Thomas riding upon a little sb>
and cut off its tail, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails
And the scoffs of ether Englishmen al
the "Kentish longtalls” rebounded up
on the whole nation, so that even li

Directors Oppose Restitution.
Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 17.—It
is practically certain tonight
that the directors of the Mer
eantil* Bank have decided not
to make any restitution to de
positors of the funds which it is
alleged ( . Hunter Raine embez
zled.
The directors assert that in
stock, deposits, surplus shares,
deposits of relatives, or corpora
tions with which they are affili
ated they have lost $900,000.
A special session of the grand
iurv has been called for Wed
nesday, at which only affairs of
the wrecked bank will be consid
ered. with a view to determin
ing the extent of liability of
bank officials.
It is reported that the jury
will attempt to fix the responsi
bility of the bank’s Board of
Directors, although no indict
ments have been drawn against
any official except Mr. Raine.
The probe into causes that
brought about the bank crash
will follow completion of the ex
aminer's audit, which, he says,
will not be ready until Thurs
day or Friday. >
RATS DISTURB RAINE.
Rats, big daring rats, are dis
luiuing im* repute ui v . nuiiier
Raine in the county jail. He
has already lodged his thous
andth comjplaint about the crea
tures. but there is no way to ex
terminate them.
The first night Raine slept in
jail he was annoyed. He is oc
cupying a bed recently vacated
by two highway robbers, both
of whom were sent to prison for
long terms. The rats chase each
other across his bed nightly, he
says.
When the bank president
opens one of the old bureau
drawers he is greeted with the
sight of a big, vicious rat. They
are said to have gnawed one
fine shirt into tatters already.
