Miss Jo Virginia Jones entertained
Curious Beliefs Held
by Trinidad Natives
“Port of Spain is the principal city
of the island of Trinidad in the West
Indies and is the most colorful and
cosmopolitan city in the world,” says
an American citizen, who has returned
to his native land for a visit after an
absence of two years, according to the
Detroit News. “The streets of Port of
Spain,” he says, “present the appear-
ance of a strange pageantry, so varied
are the people. Strangest of all are
the native black'suwple. Here you will
see nose rings and all sorts of weird
styles in hairdressing. They are so
fond of bracelets that their forearms,
from wrist to elbow, are completely !
covered with all sorts of metal cir- (
elets. Nor is it unusual to see their
lower limbs adorned In the
fashion. ! like.
night.”
“Man alive!” exclaimed the aston-
ished boss.'. “That was the night Abe
discovered the burglar setting fire to
the commissary building after he had
robbed the storekeeper’s till. Why,
didn’t you hear about it? Everybody
is calling Abe a hero, and,” he whis-
pered confidentially, “the railroad com-
pany is talking about rewarding him
handsomely for what he did. If he
hadn’t captured the fellow, thousands
of dollars' worth of supplies would
have gone up In smoke.”
“Yes, .1 know,” agreed the timekeep-
er. “I estimated the loss and figured
that it would have run into as much
as this job is worth.”
“And Abe chased the fellow up Into
the hills,” the boss continued. “The
fellow was desperate and took two or
three shots at Abe. They struggled
desperately before Abe finally over-
powered him and forced him'back to
camp. It was an hour before he got
him back, too.” 7
“Sure,” responded file timekeeper
triumphantly. “I docked him for the
time he was gone.”—Youth’s Com-
panion.
We wish to publicly thank the people of Sinton
and vicinity for their courteous treatment to us
and for their patronage during the past year. It
is our aim to so conduct our business and keep in
stock satisfactory merchandise, so that it will be
a pleasure and an economy to come to our store
to do your trading.
We wish you Health, Happiness and Prosperity

* Peculiar Coin
In parts of Africa and southern
Asia the cowrie, a small shell, is used
course, each hour of sunlight brings
more heat to the equator, but the
hours of sunlight each day increase
in number the farther one goes north.
Therefore, while the sun is shining
the arctic receives more hours of sun-
light a day than does the equator and
altogether it gets more heat, says the
Detroit News.
As one goes north the length of
day increases more rapidly than the
amount of heat per hour decreases.
Consequently, although the heat per
hour received at Winnipeg, Canada,
is less than at New Orleans, the
amount of heat received per day is
greater. That Is one reason why In
July Winnipeg is frequently hotter
than New Orleans. For about five
weeks every summer more heat per
day is received from the sun on a'
square mile in the arctic than at the
equator. However, the winters at the
North pole would be as hot as the
equator. However, the winters at the
pole are long and a great deal of
cold is stored up in the ice mass. This
neutralizes the dowrpour of heat from
.the summer sun.
Odd uRestitution** .
There. is on record one Edward
Hunt, who played a rather dirty trick
on his only son. It seems that the old
gentleman had one time Wronged an-
other man—had beaten him out of a
large sum of money and otherwise
worsted him. The fellow had died, but
Hunt’s conscience still troubled him.
[ When it came to dying he decided he
would make some kind of restitution,
so lie ordained that his twenty-one-
year-old son, in order to fall heir to
his fortune, must hunt out and marry
the daughter of the other man—that
is, if the daughter existed, and if not
a daughter, then a niece.
Tlie young man did as he was bid-
den in his father’s will and found the
daughter, hut she was fifty-five years
old. He was a good sport, however,
and. with’the woman willing, carried
out his father’s wishes.

Storks in Great Britain
A Welsh lad was recently attacked
by a large stork which was believed
to have been blown from Holland by
storms. It is a somewhat strange fact
that storks have refused to breed in
the British isles except in Kew gar-
dens. There, a pair started housekeep-;
ing in the year of King Edward’s
coronation, and elesrly copied the de-
sign for their grotesque nest between
the two elm trees from a Coronation
bonfire. They met with a multitude
of misfortunes. One year a stork let
fell from the nest and broke Its neck;
In “another yerfr a nestling was slain
by a barnacle goose. A . culminating
disaster was the, drowning of an en-
tire family by a thunderstorm. When
the "storks’ mourn" becvm'ies a eon-
gested district, superfluous' storklets
are exported to |«(pu!ate other dis-
tricts.
Old-Time Oratory
When in the house of commons
Sheridan made his famous speech on
the spoliation of the Begums of Oude,
he was offered; within 24 boors, £1,000
for the copyright. Burke’s subsequent
plea for the impeachment of Warren
Hastings had even more dramatic ef-
fect. as we may read in the pages
of Macaulay. “Handkerchiefs were
pulled out, smelling bottles were hand-
ed round, hysterical sobs and screams
were heard, and Mrs. Sheridan wgis
carried out in a fit.”
That was in 1788, Orators and their
art—and some other things—have
changed since then,—New York Her-
ald-Tribune.
