ROMANCE Its' REAL WE. Supposed. Victim of Mont Pelee Returns Rich After Four Years. The French papers relate a curious romance, Jean Marie le la loidee was mourned as a vietint of Mont Pelee, for he was visiting Martinique at the time of the eruption. His brother and sister live at Maison-Lafitte, and the other evening the latter was seated at the piano in her sitting room, when she sud- denly found herself clasped in the arum of an unknown intruder, who burst into the room covered with dust and having all the appearame of long travel. Her shrieks brought her brother rushing into the tom, and be completed her amaze- ment by falling to embrace the stranger. Then the explanations came. The in- truder.' was no other than the brother who four years hal Lodi mourned as dead, Ho had succeeded in getting en board a ship bound for Australia. Thence he made his way to Japan, and during the war with Il.ussia practised blockade running with such suecess that he made a million. This crown of his labors had left hint time for thoughts of home and kindred. Ask for Minard's and take no other, Paper Corks. A remarkable invention has just been perfected and patented•.

Tho rapid advance of Indian territory towns from frontier centres of popula- tion to modern cities is shown by the changed aspect of the police in some of the leading municipalities. The now ad- ministrations Lith in Tulsa and Musko- gee have relegated the cartridge belt and cowboy hat formerly worn by the po- lice to the plains where they belong and have adopted the regulation blue uniform and club of the city police. At Tulsa summer uniforms knave been adopted for the force.—Kansas City Journal. BETTER THAN SPANKING Spanking does not cure children of bed-wetting.

It frequently happens, especially dar- ing long tours, that automobiles are troubled with accumulation of fine dust and grit that finds its way in somo manner into the working parts of their watches. A good way to avoid this annoyance is to open the front ease of the watch and with a match, cut chisel shaped at one end, apply a titin coat of vaselino all about the seat of the ease where the lid fits. When this is done treat the back lid. of the case in the same manner. Only a small quantity of vaseline is required, just enough to snake an un- broken fihn of it all the way round, and it will make the watch duet proof at these points. At the end of a month or six weeks open the cases and you will be surprised at the amount of dirt that has collected at the edges of the case. This removed, the treatment as outlined can be re- peated. Paper Money in San Francisco. (Philadelphia Lodger.)

If it re- mains in use there the circumstance will constitute one of the radical differ- ences between the old San Francisco and the new. Heretofore paper money its that city has been used only at the banks and hotels, In the ordinary channels of circulation there was none of it.
