He looked as if he wanted to swear most vociferously, but he was out of wind, and all that he could do was to lean against the fence and soulfully wigh. It was then that the grinful idiot, who s always on hand, paced over and butted in, “DId you miss your traln, old boy?" be queried, with a smiling glance at the panting one. “No,” was the grouchy rejoinder. I chase myself up here that way every five minutes to see them shut the gates.” “What made you so late?” queried the other, not at all abashed. “Is your watch out of order?” il “No, my watch is all to the good,” re- plied the man who missed the train, “but I think that my feet are about two minutes slow.”—Philadelphia Tele- graph. His Lesson. A woman who had divorced her hus band met him after many years. “Have you married again?’ asked. The man shook his head. “Ah!” sighed the woman. “You still love me.” “No,” sald the man, “I love myself.” He was asked to explain, “Bondage taught me the value of freedom,” he replied. “I am answer- able now only to myself. I come when | I please, go when I please, do what I please and need not make explana- tlon. I no longer divide my pleasures by two or multiply my worrles by the same number. What I earn is mine and, when I contemplate Its “possible reductlon, I need fear for myself alone. I have no. great joys, but then I have no great sorrows.” “And love?” inquired the woman. T have been married,” answered the man.—Channing Pollock in Show. she The Bird’s Bill Was Locked. A curlous bird tragedy Is told about In the London Fleld. A man found a yellow hammer dead in his yard at the foot of a wall. The bird had flown agalnst it with such' force as to be stunned. Not only that, but the upper mandible had been bent back, and in the straightening out the sharp point was driven down through the lower bill and locked, thus dooming the bird to death by starvation. The man sent the head to the Field. A good many similar accidents have been recorded, but it was always a heavier bird, whose ‘weight made the springing of the bill easler. A good many of the birds were found In a starved condition, showing that they died lingering deaths from want of food. Wirds that fly against the lighthouses have the skull bones crushed and dle instantly, but others are stunned only. State Laws. “If you should have your choice whether to die in the Empire State or in good old New Jersey, don’t fail to select Jersey,” remarked a HobLoken lawyer the other day. “Over there,” sald he, “we still do business on lines laid out by the common law. For ex- ampla, under tha lawe-of Now Forsor a husband is entltled to all the per- sonal property left by his deceased wife. Across the river the case is quite different, because under the laws of the state of New York half of a de- ceased wife’s personal estate goes to her children and the residue reverts to ber husband. Only where there are no children is the hubby the whole thing.” —New York Press. He Was Drugged, An ambulance surgeon had a curi- ous experience the other night. He was summoned to a police station to examine ‘an unconscious prisoner. The prisoner, very muddy and disheveled, lay on the floor of the cell rooms. The physician bent over and examined him and then, rising, said In a loud stern voice: “This man’s condition is not due ta is of _'_l:_l_ae B azaar Store Special Xmas Sale Of The Genuine “ROSANWARE” Pottery In the “0ld Egypto” and Ancient Rom- an Designs. s : 50 per cent Discount on cur entire line of vases and art peices for 3 DAYS ONLY.

On the city of Dubuque, Ia,, ap- pear the words “La petite nuit’ and strangers are always puzzled by them, Why should Dubuque be called “the little night?” It is explained that the place originally was settled by an old miner named Dubuque. When the In- dians granted certain lands to Dubuque the document was drawn up in French in Prairie du Chien. The clerk who did the work believed that “la: petite |- nuit” meant “th@ old miner,” and his mistake “has perpetuated a phrase which, however 'pretty, has no signifi- cance In its present connectlon, Blew His Own Horn. A certain coloiel who was in com- mand of the Perthshire yeomanry was at an evening party in Edinburgh com- plaining loudly of his officers, alleging that all the dutles of the regiment de- volved upon him. “I am," he said, “to all intents and purposes my own major, my-own eaptain; my own Houtouaut, my own cornet.” “To. say nothing ot being your ain trumpeter too,” remark- ed a grim old Scottish lady, sotto voce. Quick Wit. There is no more effective weapon ta defend us from impertinence or rude- ness than quick, sharp wit, But few men have it, and it is born with them. If we try to imitate it we end in ill nature and scurrility,. Wit cannot be forced inta growth. But courtesy and good temper can. These weapons are sure and grow brighter and- stranger with age. Didn’t Like Taxes. Cases against George Washington ap- pear here and there in old documents. No less than three claims were entered against him during the year 1787 to compel him to pay ‘taxes. The hu- morous clerk, commenting on these ac- tions, remarked, “George Washington, Esq., appeareth not to llke: taxes.” Modern Life.

G. |4, Bome wasps live In part npon honey, wh!ehflwyeollecttwmflumutopn petaled flowers, and thus to a very moderate extent they may be regarded in the light of flower fertilizers. Kirk- nd says in the first volume of the American Naturalist that “the paper bornet (Vespa maculata) often enters my nucleus hives when I am rearing Itallan queen bees and captures the young queen In the midst of her little colony, usually just after she has com- menced her first laying. I have seen this depredator enter the small hive, drag out the queen and fly away with her to the woods” (page 52). Some of the species of the genus polistes store up honey which is poisonous, from the, fact that it has been collected from poisonous flowers. They are found in South America, where also species of the genus chartergus occur—wasps that make a very remarkable and tough nest, with funnel shaped combs Inslde, arranged one inside of another, nest fashion, but not In contact ex- cept at their points of suspension. At the apexes of these cones occur the apertures of entrance for the inmates to pass up among the conleal tiers. Steering the Ship. The work of steering a great ship, even with the aid of modern machin- ery, Is much more delicate than one would imagine. The larger and faster the ship the greater is the difficulty. It is not enough to hold the wheel In the same position to keep the ship on her course, for the wind and waves and the currents of the ocean” tend constantly to knock the ship off her course, The great wall of steel (for the hull may be 700 feet long and sixty feet high) offers a broad target for the wind and waves. The art in steer- ing is to humor the ship to these forces and when she Is deflected bring her back quickly to her course. If you could watch the binnacle, especially In bad weather, you would see the needle of the compass constantly shift- ing from side to side, which means that the great steel prow is not going forward in a perfectly straight line.— Francis Arnold Collins in St. Nicholas. New York’s Cab Drivers. A driver has to have a license. That mysterious official, the mayor’s mar- shal, grants one upon the payment of 25 cents and two written testimonials of honesty. A man may come out of Sing Sing, whither he has been sent for highway robbery or stoning the minister’s cat or any other crime, if he presents two greasy letters—one of any Jones and the other of any Smith— stating that he is an honest fellow he will get a license. No inquiry is made. His references are never looked up. Indeed, if you are a desperate criminal —guilty of murder or failure to pay alimony—you can do no better than take out a license and hide on top of a cab. So Into the business drift all sorts and conditions of rogues. Under the aegis of the law (the aegis being a twenty-five cent badge) they rob you and me.—Vance Thompson in Outing Magazine. The Hessians Played. It is a matter of record that upon the first official celebration of Inde- Pendence day by the Continental con- _gress music was secured for the occa- slon by forcing the Hessian band, which had been captured by George ‘Washington at Trenton in the previous December, to play in the public square all day, to the great delight and amuse- ment of the people. It is also stated that these involuntary celebrants were obliged to practice appropriate airs for three weeks previously In order that they could not plead ignorance as an excuse. Curlous’ Colncidences. When the Ring theater, in Vienna, was burned, with great loss of life, one of the other playhouses of the Austrian capltal was playing Paille- ron’s “Le Monde ou I'on S’Ennuie;” when the Stadt theater, in Vienna, was burned another theater in that city ‘was playing “Le Monde ou l'on S’En- nuie,” and on the evening of the day when the fire in the charity bazaar in Faris took place the Theatre Francals was announced to play “Le Monde ou Pon S'Ennuie.” furnished for all occasions.
