STRANGE LEGEND. Ascribes Origin of Thibetans to Mon key and a Female Demon. Times-Democrat. "Speaking of Thibet I am remind ed of one of the curious legends o that country," said a man who like: old stories, "and while I do not voucl for it, you can have it for what it i! worth. It is one of the many legend! of that middle Asiatic country. Tibe was originally inhabited by wild ani mals and demons. At a certain per iod God sent there the king of th4 monkeys, who led the life of a her mit: his exclusive occupation was th< performance of religious duties an( he was absorbed in the pursuit o: the knowledge of nonentity. Wher he was just on the point of attain. ing the object of his mission he wa, "disturbed in his contemplations b3 the visit of a female Manggus. Th< Manggus, ugly demons, can adopi any figure they please. One assumec the form:of a beautiful creature and proposed to the king of monkeys tc marry her. He at first alleged hi! monastical duties. but at last he mar ried her and their descendants are the people of Tibet. They believe in metempsychosis and are proud ol their descent from a monkey, because he is one of the most cunning of ani mals. The first man king was by name Seger-Sandilitu-Khanghan-Tui. Esen, whose youth resembles that oi Moses, for he was exposed by his father and afterward found in a cop per box swimming on the river Gan .ga." Luck in the Letter "B." -Pearson's Weekly . A writer has discovered that many -of the wo'rst foes of the horticul 'turist begin with "w" and he in stances worms, weevils, wind and other workers of wickedness. This suggests a question as to whether there are any natural grouping let ters, take "b," for exan4ple, and con -sider how many boons -and blessings to man begin with it. The baker 'butcher and brewer bring him bread beef and beer. For additional foods 'he has bacon, black bass, beans, 'bloaters, broccoli, broth, bivalves 'bananas, berries, biscuits, buns and 'butter. After a banquet of bonnes "bouches he may bring out his 'baccy -while he bestrides his bicycle. These -are but but a few of the beneficent *things included under that blessed let ter "be.". Now, as a contrast, take *d," and among the first words we think of are damp, dismal, dark <lreary, dank, dull, daft, ducked, drag ged, -dosed, doubtful, disgusted, doc 'tor, diseased, doldrums, dungeons depressed, despairing, dead, drunk and so on, the very sound of which is enough to drive one into doleful dumps.

Woman's Home Companion. s General Joe Wheeler relates the c following amusing incident that took c place during the night of the El v Caney affair: c "General Lawton's division was d marching back to El Paso, there to t, take up a new position in the morn- o ing. The general in company with 'I Major Creighton Webb, inspector n general of his staff, was standing at g the edge of the road, watching his s troops file past. Just as the dawn h was breaking the colored troops came d in sight. They gave evidence of being dead tired, but were neverthe less full of 'ginger.' "General Lawton's attention was ti attracted to a certain corporal of the I, Twenty-fifth infantry, a great 6-foot p negro, who in addition to a couple of' t] guns and two. cartridge belts loaded full was carrying a dog. The soldiers to whom the other guns belonged were limping alongside his comrade. t< "The general halted the men, j 'Here, corporal,' said he to the 6-foot e man, 'didn't you mrch all last night?" ( " 'Yes, sir,' responded the negro, I saluting. a " 'And fought all day?' " 'Yes, sir.' ' 'You have besides been marching e since io o'clock tonight?' 0 " 'Yes, sir. c " 'Then,' said Lawton, 'why on ; earth are you carrying that dog?' i " 'Well, general,' replied the negro, showing his white teeth in a broad . grin, 'the dog's tired.' " His Fears Were Realized. e A Georgia statesman says that while he was in the shop oi an opti cian he once heard an amusing con versation between the proprietor of the establishment and an aged dar ky, who wvas just leaving the place with a new pair of spectacles, says the Youth's Companion. c As the old chap neared the door r his eye lighted upon a most extra- e ordinary looking instrument con- b spicuously placed upon a counter. y The venerable negro paused for sev eral moments to gaze in open won der at this thing, the like of which he had never seen before. After a long 11 struggle with his curiosity he was ti vanquished. Turning to the opti- fP cian. he asked: "What is it, boss?" 8 "That is an ophthalometer," re- tl plied the optician in his gravest tone. a "Sho!" muttered the old man to e himnself as 'he backed out of the door hi his eyes still fastened upon the cu- f: dious looking thing on the counter. b " Sho, dat's what I was afeard it was!" q Next to England and France, Ger- ~ many is the greatest creditor nation s of the world; that is, has the larg- i *.t amount of capital invested in u foreign countries.d PURE BLOOD-SOUND HEALTH I Plain Reasons Why Hancock's Li- I quid Sulphur is so Effective.
