THE EL RENO DAILY DEMOCRAT
•DDLER CLAIMS AN HEIRESS
Interesting Sequel to a Childhood
Betrothal That Has Developed
in a Chinese Court.
Should an heiress marry n peddler
to whom she was betrothed at the
age of two?
This Is the question now before
the Chinese courts In a breaeh-of-
promlse case which has been brought
by a man who peddles wares In the
streets of Peking.
At the time of the betrothal the
families of both the man and the
girl were equally well off. Later the
ronn's fumlly lost Its fortune, nnd he
became a street peddler, while the
girl's father became a high and
wealthy official In one of the gov-
ernment ministries.
Not long ago.the heiress passed the
peddler's pitch while driving In her
rickshaw, and he recognized her as
his betrothed.
Hastening to hor home to claim his
promised bride, he found that her
father had affianced her to a rich man,
nnd preparation." for the wedding wore
In progress. He has now sued the
government official for breach of
promise, and It remains for the court
to decide whether poverty constitutes
sufficient cause for the annulment of
engagements.
Peking society Is awaiting the ver-
dict with some anxiety, as the result
may mean that betrothals arranged
during childhood (an age-old Chinese
custom) will In future be binding only
so long as the family fortunes of
either party suffer no decrease.
CASED IN ARMOR OF PROOF
"Glyptodon," Prehistoric Animal, Had
an Invulnerable Defense Against
All Enemies.
The strangest mammal that ever
lived was the "glyptodon," which car-
ried Its bouse with It, being Incased
In a mighty shell somewhat resem-
bling that of a turtle, but far more
massive. The carapace, furthermore,
was almost dome-shaped, and all parts
of the creature's body, Including even
the tall, were heavily armored.
Tills remarkable animal seems to
have been exclusively American, and
until recently none of Its fossil re-
mains had heen discovered north of
the Rio Grande, barring a few frag-
ments of bones.
The glyptodon was so slngglsh
that a mile a month must have been
Just about Its best racing speed. It
fed on herbage, presumably, and pos-
sessing no weapon of defense, would
have been easy prey for carnivorous
enemies If Its armor hud not afforded
adequate protection. When nttacked.
It bad only to withdraw Its bead, which
was covered by a heavy bony sheath,
and to retract Its legs beneath the
shell. In order to become Invulnerable.
RALLY DAY CHRISTIAN :
Tomorrow has been set
Rev. l>ePoister of the
church as rally day, the object belns
to enable the niein!) r; of til chuivh
to become belter acquainted with
each other, promote cliur. li and so
clal fellowship, to cement the mem-
bership of the church to the en 1
aside by that the Christian church in El Reno
Christian nl!,y be made more beneficial to the
membership and to the community
at lar^e Members of the church
' who are not members of the local
congregation will bo asked to affili-
ate themselves with the church. Fol-
lowing Is the rally clay program for
tomorrow:
Use Birds for Smuggling Drugs.
The use of currier pigeons as co-
caine smugglers—"snow birds" In the
literal sense of the word—Is the latest
device for Introducing the drug from
Germany Into France. The pigeons
are released from various points
along the German frontier and alight
In Nancy, each carrying quite appre-
ciable amounts of the narcotic.
The greed of the smugglers In over-
loading one bird, which fell exhaust-
ed In the Mouse district, caused the
undoing of the smugglers and the ar-
rest of several. This pigeon carried
15 grammes, or about a half ounce, of
the drug In small packages, sewed to
the feathers of the bird, and not tied
,(>■ the leg. as Is customary In the ear
rylng of messages.
Curious Well.
The attention of the geological sur-
vey has been called to a peculiar well
In Ohio, and lias caused an investlga
tlon to be made of It. It appears that
the well produces both fresh and sail
water through two separate pumps.
The explanation proves to be very slm
pie. Two water-bearing beds, con
fined between layers of limestone, oc
cur at this point, one above the other
The pipe of the fresh water pump
taps the upper vein at a depth of lfl
feet. The pipe of the salt water
pump touches the lower vein at
depth of 35 feet; and the brine, be-
ing heavier than the fresh water, does
not mix with If, but remains at the
bottom.
NO HARM.

Tom Cat "Fathers" Chickens.
A tomcat Is acting as "foster father"'

them. He Is nssiduous In tils paternal
duties, and allows the chickens to
climb over his body and head.
Twins Puziled Mother.
Twins that cannot bo told apart h.v
their own mother live In Syracuse, N
Y. The other day a woman rushed In

El Paso, Sept. 30.—The Mexican
garrison at Juarez, across the river
from this city, has revolted and the
revolutionists have taken control of
the city, according to reports. Led
by Capt. Valverde of the 143rd ba-
tallion, the 150 soldiers stationed in
the Mexican city released all prison-
ers from the city jail, imprisoned
their officers and at 3 o'clock this
morning had begun the looting of
the city.
General Mendez, commander of
the Juarez garrison, was cut off from
the telegraph office, and came to
this city to endeavor to get into com
nvunleation with Mexico City and
Chihuahua. Hundreds of shots were
fired during the revolt, und it is re-
ported that a dozen Mexicans were
killed or wounded.
You can't loot the youngsters.
They can always tell the differ-
ence between Kellogg'* and tha

Kelloggs Corn Flakes
snap up fussy appetites
something v jnderful I
No coaxing needed to tempt family folks
and visitor folks to eat a-plenty—not when
there's a big pitcher of milk or cream and
lots of Kellogg's Corn Flakes—and, maybe
some handy fresh fruit—ready to tickle
fickle palates!
Kellogg's are unlike any corn flakes you
ever ate! They're the original kind—they
ought to be best! No other corn flakes arc
so deliciously flavored; no other corn flakes
retain such wonder-crispness till eaten!
And, Kellogg's are never leathery or tough
or hard to eat!
Kellogg's arc always a delight to serve—
and a treat to eat at any meal! In fact,
you'll never know how good corn flakes can
be until you know KELLOGG'S! The dif-
ferfince is astounding!
c Do more than ask for Corn Flakes—say
KELLOGG'S CORN FLAKES! The kind
in the RED and GREEN package!
KELLOGG'S Corn Flakes
are made by the folks who gave

YELLOW FLUMES
THE DANGER SICK
When the burner of a natural gas appliance
generates a yellow flame, it flies the warning
of waste and inefficiency. It is a danger
signal that you cannot afford to let pass un-
heeded.
You like the clean comfort, economy and con
venience of natural gas. Are you doing your
part toward making good service possible?
Look to your appliances first: Dirty, im-
properly adjusted burners always cause trou-
ble. Dirt, lint and grease in the ports always
produce yellow flames. Yellow flames mean
waste of gas and money.
Burners can be kept clean by occasional-
ly boiling them in water to which two
tablespoons of washing soda has been
added. Dry burners before replacing.
When your appliances are properly adjusted
and clean, the flames are blue with pointed
inner cones of green.

^peot your appliances with
