Queenstown, Ireland, May 24.—The
Giant Cunard Liner Ivernia, carry-
ing seven hundred and six passen-
gers, from America, crashed into the
Daunt rock in a heavy fog at noon
today, and entered Queenstown har-
bor shortly afterward in a sinking
condition. She was beached and no
one was injured.
The Ivernia sailed from Boston a
week ago. She was proceeding
slowly when she struck and the ford-
part bottom was smashed. As she
backed off the rocks the forward
compartments filled with water. The
passengers were alarmed but there
was no panic. They assured the
liner could reach the harbor safely
and tugs stood, by.
The bulkheads held but water ran
in the forward compartments until <t
was tilting the ship's bow almost
under the water and the stern was
high in the air with one screw out
of the water. She was beached and
the passengers were taken off
safely.

he alighted nimbly from the train
and Inquired for the nearest saloon.
He was astonished when he learned'
that Oklahoma was dry. "It's news
to me, sure," he said. "The last
time 1 was here there sure was a
saloon right across there on the
corner."
The aged Arkansau is still hale
and hearty, and perfectly preserved.

nee vouch for his age.

JOKE ON THE OLD MAN
One man Jones and his son John came to town the other
day and Bold their hogs. The man they sold to gave each of
them a check on this bank for the proper amount. Now the
old man was just a little too wise. "Says," says he, "If It Is
just the Bame to you I would rather have the cash," and asked
John If he wanted the cash also. John said he had Just as
soon have the check. John gave the check to his father to
keep for him, but on the way home the old man lost his!
pocketbook and although they looked high and low it could
not be found. The money and check were both lost forever.
But say, John came back to the man who gave him the check
and the man Just gave him another check for the amount and
notified this bank that if the old check turned up not to pay
it—see? But he wouldn't glvo the old man some more cash!
A CHECK ON THIS BANK IS BETTER THAN CASH.
