Barkeepers’ Prices as nn Index of n Town's Standing. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “The first time I ever saw Theodore Roosevelt was back in the early eighties,” said a man who used to live in the West. “1 met him on a sleeping car coming East from Wyoming, where he had been visit ing his ranch on the edge of the Bad Lands. At that time he was unknown to the public except as the author of a few magazine articles on Western life, but luckily I had read them, and they formed n bridge for conversation. I found him a burly young man wiih a heavy brown beard, which he had al lowed to grow during his trip, and with manners that were nervous and abrupt, but nevertheless very engaging. He was just recovering from an attack of snow blindness, and wore large blue glasses. There were eight or ten passengers* on the car, representing the usual wide variety of type to be found on the frontier, and l remember that Roosevelt easily took the lead in conversation. His versatility and the extent of his information were, sur prising. and there was a vein of quaint humor that ran through his talk and lent a certain sparkle to almost everything he said. “Somebody remarked, for instance, that he had recently visited a new’ mining camp in the Black Hills and had to pay 50 cents lor a drink of execrable whisky. You can always determine a camp’s age and stage of development by the price charged for drinks,’ said Roosevelt, chuckling. ‘Four-bit whisky means re cent occupation, unsettled conditions and the presence of one half-barrel, which some fellow has brought over the trail on a burro. Two-bit whisky indicates that the regulation boom is on, that ten derfeet are plenty, and that regular com munication with the outside world has been established. The next drop to three for a half is not a eign of a slump, but merely shows that the first excitement has passed, and the town is getting down to what they call a ‘business basis.’ FlMeen-cent drinks means that the busi ness is reached, courts have been estab lished. a sehoolhouse is being built, claim Jumping has become laid form, plug hats are tolerated, and faro banks- have mov ed up stairs. Any further decline, how ever,* added Mr. Roosevelt, Ms a danger signal. Two-for-a-quartcr whisky is a sure sign of deterioration, and flve-cent beer means that a stampede has set in for the next diggings. That’s the way to lead the alcoholic thermometer of the woolly West.’ —“I can’t seo,” said the shoe clerk, “why a Scotchman should soy ‘hae’ for ‘have.’ ” “It is his economical disposition. He saves a V every time he does- so.” said the Cheerful idiot.—lndianapolis Press.

From the Now Orleans Tlmes-Democrat. * ‘Thousands of learned pai>ers have been written on the flight of birds,” said a mechanical export of this city, "and oil the flying machine enthuMastls have given the subject endless study and in vestigation. hut. strange to say. we know almost exactly ae much about It now a> we did In the beginning—in other words, nothing at all.

The groat secret of secrets e what is known as floating' or ‘poising.' Most of us have seen a hawk, for in stance. on n clear, still day. hanging ap parently motionless in the upper air. Whether the outstretched wings are really still or whether there is a slight but continual shifting to take advantage of aerial currents is not fitly determined. Floating birds have been watched for hours through powerful glasses, and late ly they have been photographed In In finite detail with that wonderful new in strument called the ‘telephotoseop-*,' which Is merely n combination of the telescope and the camera, but not one dew to the mystery has been obtained. "It used to be thought that birds could float only against the wind, but that has been exploded. Then, again, the faculty is possessed by comparatively few varie ties. and others, with equal or superior wing spread, are unable to do it nt all. The why and wherefore are unanswered questions. "Lillenthall, the rjerman scientist, seemed to be on the right track with hts ■gliding machine.’ but he fell and broke his neck and what was peculiarly unfor tunate was that he failed to < ommit his mot*t valuable facts to paper. Hiram Maxim, the machine-gun man. wrestled with the same problem for years and spent thousands of pounds constructing what he christened ‘aeroplanes,’ but at last he gave it up. It was too hard for him. Now Oliver fhanute, the veteran American engineer, and Prof. Lang ley of the Smithsonian Institution ore both nt w’ork on the same lines.

One of the Moat 1 niqne Wedding* on Record In Ohio. From the .Philadelphia Press. One of the most unique weddings on record occurred n few days ago, when the Messrs. Crabbe of Columbus, 0., were married to. the Misses Dotson. Both brides and bridegrooms are twins. The twin brothers are so nearly alike in every respect that even their mother ‘■an scarcely tell them apart, and the brides resemble each other ns closely as their husbands. Both the brides’ and grooms’ birthdays occur on the same date of the month nnd they were wedded on the anniversary of their natal day. When a Press representative ral'erl to interview the couples recently he was graciously received by the young wives. Mrs. Guy Omer Crabbe, w r hose Chris tian name is Ardrien. seemed much amused a* the excitement their marriage with the Crabbe brothers has caused. “Edna and I have always been insepa rable,” she remarked, ‘‘and W’e could not bear the thought of losing eath other by marriage, so we both settled the difficul ty, or had it settled for us, by loving nnd being loved in return by the Crabbe brothers. “Edna and I m**t the Messrs. Crabbe at an evening reception nnd there a funny thing occurred. I wns Introduced to one of the brothers and my sister to the other, and ns the ballroom was tnrgc and crowded neither saw the other s partner. After the first I did not see Mr. Crabbe again until he came to claim me as partner for the lancers, which dance I had promised him. I continued a subject which hnd been broken off at the termina tion of our first dance only to find that Mr. Crabbe seemed perfectly at a loss to comprehend what I whs referring to. While I was reflecting upon his rudeness at having so soon forgotten our conversa tion, I came face *o face with my sister and the other Mr. Crabbe. Imagine our amazement when we discovered that W’e were all four sadly mixed. The wrong Mr Crabbe had claimed the wrong Mias Dotson. Identities were finally straight ened and w f e four became fast friends, but even after an extended acquaintance we frequently were mistaken for each other by the Messrs. Crabbe “As children we resembled other closely, but the resemblance in past year* seems to have grown stronger. “We are almost identical in our taste* nnd we have always dre*sed exactly alike, even to the arrangement of our coiffure. “Even our house, as you see, is a tw.ln. and we have our apartments furnished exactly alike Everything is duplicated, even to th-e heads of the establishment *• Twenty Years Proof.

Mrs. Win. King. Editor. 480 Courtland avenue, Atlanta, Oa., April 28. 1906. Columbia Drug Cos.. Savannah, Ga.: Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to heartily recommend Infants' Friend Powder, nnd to give to you a singu lar little coincident connected with It. During the Cotton States and In ternational Exposition I was presen ted with a little box of this powder, and was so pleased with it that I was exceedingly anxious to get more, but on looking at the box I found nothing but Savannah, Ga., no other address. I have often wished I knew where to get It. Thie morning's mall brought your circular with en closed sample I immediately re ferred to tny box, and found It was the Infants' Friend Powder. It is without doubt the best powder I have ever used. Respectfully, MRS. WM. KING. ALWAYS ON DFCK. 7
