The taxes for sidewalk and street improvements in the city of Greencastlo are due amj payable at tho same time as other taxes, and failure to pay carries with it the usual penalty and costs. A heating stove in full blast on tho sidewalk was the rather novel sight in evidence In front of Higert’s hardware store this afternoon. The occasion was tho advertising scheme of tho Home Stove Company of Indianapolis, represented by E. H. Geitz.

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS. F*l! of a Dusky Baauly From the South Sea Islands. Oiie night John Sharp Williams, while a student at Heidelberg, (lerinauy. was lu attendance upon a swell function at which the guest of honor was u dark skinned princess alleged to hat! from one of Hie south sea islands. This princess was magnificently bedecked and hejeweled, and her warm olive complexion, set off by a mass of black, kinky hair, full re' 1 lips, snow white teeth and black, sparkling eyes, imulo her the center of the function. The masculine-like Germans swarmed about her like bees around a honeysuckle vine, and even Dutch femininity could not discount the charm of tier manner or the beauty of her person. John Sharp was introduced, of course, and immediately upon obtaining a near view of the princess (?) his southern Instincts rose to the surface and his southern blood began to boil. Watching ids opportunity, he managed to get to the beauty’s elbow. Then, reducing ids voice to a low, but perfectly audible key, he sent Into her startled ears this alarming query: “Look here, nigger, where did you come from?" Panic stricken and with all her self possession scattered, the alleged princess turned upon her Interrogator ns she hoard the familiar Intonation of the southerner and looked into his unrelenting face. Then she stammered: “Fum South Cnrollny, boss, hut for de Lawd’s sake don’t toll It.” Whether John Sharp respected tho pitiful plea of a southern negress in a faraway land and permitted her to continue tier bold Imposition upon the credulous Germans the story does not tell. But Hie fact remains that the “princess” realized that she was In the presence of one who, from intimate knowledge of her race, had divined her African origin, and she could only throw herself on Ills mercy.—-Biloxi Herald.

*•* I My Promotion. |

[Original.) When Alice Conle told me that she was engaged to Tom Martin f feit a sickening sensation about the heart that could only come to a young per | son. I might feel a hitter disappointment today, but it would not be of the I same kind. Alice looked at me sur j prised. “Why, what’s the matter, John?" she said. “Nothing,” 1 replied, endeavoring to pull myself together. “Only I'm afraid Tom mightn't turn out good enough for you—that’s all.” "Oh. that’s all. Is it? Well, don’t worry about that. A fellow ns smart, as popular, us trustworthy, as Tom IS good enough for a far better girl than I. Mother says she'd rather trust to his Judgment in business matters than to that of older heads.” “Oh, 1 only meant he wasn’t good enough for you.” “You lumbering, good nntured stupid. John,” she said, taking my hand and pressing it caressingly. "You will always be my dearest friend." That was very kind of her. A few months later 1 was startled by one of those mysterious rumors that are spoken under the breath for a brief period before they become public property, it was that Tom Martin had been borrowing money from any one who would lend it to him. Then I heard that he Ind disappeared Fol lowing closely on this came I lie news that Mrs. Coale had given Idm all her money for Investment, and lie had cither sunk it or taken it with him Since he had paid none of his debts it was presumed that he had taken It witli him. Detectives visited his room and took away every scrap of paper they could find there, though Tom before leaving had left nothing to show where lie had gone. Di‘ had borrov. ed a hook of me. and I vent to hD mom to see if I could find It It was lying on tiis table, and I carried it home with me That evening 1 took it up and opened It. Between the cover and the title page was a libra;-;.’ card on which were entries o'' - ■ oral t ''.s taken out

within a few we o' The hook he had borrowed from me was "Australian Sketches.” I wondered what kind of literature he had been taking from the library. Curiosity, mingled with a feeling that I might gather some clew with reference to his acts, led me the next day to take tho card to the library and have a look at the books lie had been rending What was my astonishment to find that one was upon Central America, three upon Honduras and a fifth on the rubber Industry of that state.

After some thought t)’o t o were my deductions: Tom had at first thought of going to Australia, but had changed to Central America. He had selected Honduras and when he got there would Invest the money he had taken in either the rubber trade or a rubber forest. More likely the latter, since it would give him a better chance to hide from tlie world. The day after I reached these con elusions 1 started for Florida and from there sailed for Honduras. Landing at Puerto Cahello, I went iuto the in terior. I made inquiries for an Atner ieau who had come to Honduras to negotiate for a rubber tract. The state is not a large one. and any one going there with money would not remain unnoticed by its people. Of course it would lie useless to Inquire for one by the name of Martin, for the skulker was doubtless using au as sumed name. it was just two weeks to a day when I learned of a man answering Mar tin’s deserlption who was dickering for a rubber tract some ten miles away from me. I went to whore he was and

the man I was hunting. When he sa me he collapsed I told him that all wanted was Mrs. Coale's money or much of it as he had left. If lie won give me this he might stay where was for all me as long as he like If not he would go back to stand trii He turned over eighteen $1,000 Un ed States bonds, which was what t mained of Mrs. Coale’s little fortur I receipted for it and started home. 1 found that Alice had taken a poi tion aud gone to work. The evenii of my return I called on her and h mother. This was the first time had seen them since their misfortun Mrs. Coale chided me for having Ue away tu the hours of their troubl while Alice maintained a cold reserv I didn’t know whether to attribute to the cause her mother mentioned some other. In truth, she seemi stunned. I'm not naturally facile opening subjects and sat for son time, speaking only when I did spet on commonplace topics, trying to frun what 1 should say concerning the o Ject of my call. I knew 1 would mal the mother glad, but was nil In t] dark about Alice. Finally, despairlr of finding proper words, 1 took tl bonds from my pocket and tossed the on the table. “They’re yours.” 1 said. “I tra.-ki him and got them. There's only email loss." I m very poor at descriptions, a mot other things, and It wouldn’t do mo to try to give the scene that fc lowed. Mrs Coale was so beside he self with joy that for a time she forg even to thank me. Alice broke In sobs and, clutching my hand her hoi sank down on It. When I came myself I found my eyes wet and n arm around her waist. But men while I'd had it there fur some tin without her discovering It either so didn’t hurry to take It away. Well. I was promoted from be friend to—the other thing. C. MASON BRADSTREBT.

Take >t bit of advice from me. You may lose that shiner of yours if you're not careful.’ "Then the pickpocket looked at the diamond. He said the screw attachment wouldn’t stop a good thief from getting the diamond, hut he could fix that. He fished around in his [mckets and produced a rubber hand, which he lied around the screw. “‘Now,’ he said, ‘they can only gtd your stone by biting It off.'”—New York Sun
