--Desirs for Farm Lands.
Borne of the old fashioned Egyptian
lsauires who have been settled on their
estates for a generation or two and
form their own land are much looked
up to by their proper neighbors and
, exercise a good deal of influence. They
{have many the characteristic quali-
ties which belong to their condition.
~ 1 became acquainted with a patri-
arch of this kind who was an estim-
able old gentleman. lie lived in a
large, white-washed. untidy old house,
,fivith his big, here rooms on the ground
“ floor and latticed apartments above in
‘ which his womankind lived. lie told
me, by the way. that his wife had nov-

been educated t an American mission
school and spoke English well. He
was three and twenty and of course
married and a parent. He told me that
he had saved enough out of his salary
. to have bought a small estate in the
'Delta. His wife and children and his
‘ mother-in-law and an uncle lived there
.. and managed the farm, and he lent
. down there himself during the ong

after it when he comes down to Cairo

in the cool season. And the trader

Remarkable Freaks of Fate That Led
to Finding Persons Sought.
lnnnmcrnble strange stories of how
have been turning up all over the
country lately. Some of these tales
have been so fantastic in their details
that if they were worked into fiction
or nieledrnlnas the critics would prob-
ably call the people.
Take, for instance. the manner in
which John M. Lonlux. of Dover. U.
found his sister after a separation 01‘
more than thirty-four years. When his
sister Anne was sixteen years old her
mother died, and then she barium-
housekeeper and cook for her father
and her brother.
Iler special dish was beef slow.
with dumplings, and of this her
brother was very fond.
After four years the father mar-
ried again, and thou the children
drifted away and lost sight of 0m-
anothcr. At. differellt'times Lolnax
tried to find Ills sister. but never could
get any trace of her.
Some time ago he happened to be
in the neighborhood of Louisville.
buying up farm produce. While there
he met a farmer named Hastings, and
the latter invited him to dinner. At
dinner beef,stew was served, and Lou
max thought it tasted something like
that of the good old days when his
sister cooked his meals. lie asked the
farmer‘s wife what her maiden name
had been and found that she was his
sister.
A Wililmantlo Case.
The story of the separation and re.
union of Walter and Thomas Stat.
ford, of Willimantic. Conn, reads like
a chapter out of one of the "year's
biggest sellers.”
About nine years ago both were
head over heels in lover with a girl
In their home town. She. smiled upon
both and the result was that they be-
came had friends One day they met
in a field and decided to light it out
with revolvers‘. As they shot at each
other they became frightened and ran
off. Each was sure the other had been
killed and each, believing he bore the
marks of Cain. decided to leave for
other parts.
Finally boill drifted Into New York.
Neither could forget the fight upon
the field. and as the result of constant
brooding both landed in the insane
ward of Ilellcvlle hospital at the same
time. Naturally the discovery that
there had been no murder restored
each man to his right sellsos.——I’llil~

SCHOOLBOY RIFLE PRACTICE.
It is Given an Impetus by the Recent
Matches In Washington.
The movement for schoolboy rifle
practice received a. powerful impetus
from the schoolboy matches held in
Washington recently. The National
Capital ltifie and Revolver Club. a
small but energetic organization. nulli-
boring among Its members some of
the best pistol-shots in the country,
undertook the task of conducting the
tournament. The newspapers co-
heartily, the Evening Star
and Washington Times giving hund-
sonlo silver clips to be computed for

Were company, battalion and later-
school shoots, with competitions on

for officers and for individual prizes.

but the colored schools arranged a

which was attended by representa-
tives of the club, the. N. R. A. and the

Denver has been conducting one al-

furnished the medals and the match
was shot on Its range. A large num-
ber of the cadets and national guard
officers were present as spectators.
and the interest exceeded that antici-
pated by those promoting ille shoot.
Folio companies competed. the match
being won by the team from Company
C (Manual Training lilgh School).
The school clubs will probably ndil-
late with the N. R. A.
The National Rifle Association has
notified the twenty-three schoolboy
clubs affiliated with it, that during the
week of June 8—13 an inter-school
match will be shot on the. local ranges
In the various targets. Tile result
will‘be compared by a comn'lllioe. and
the awards made by it. The matches
will be for teams of ten, with ten
