Policeman—It was dead easy. When they started to rush I said: “That's right! Old ladies first!” And the way they held back was a caution.—Chicago News. Got on His Nerves. Frugal North Briton (in his first ex- perience of a taxi)—Here, mon, stop! 1 hae a weak heart. I canna stand that hang’t wee machine o’ yours markin’ up thae tuppences.—London Punch, Rhinoceroses With Two Horns. Several species of rhinoceroses, now extinct and only found in a fossil state, used to exist which had no horns at all. The name, meaning as it does “horned mose,” is rather a misnomer in their, case. Several kinds of chinoe- eroses. in Africa have two horos, one behind the other, but the extinct rhi- noceres, known as: the dyceratherium, had a pair of horns on its nose side by side. South American Horses. In many South American countries tlie- hotses go unshod or with shoes on the*forefeet only. 5 Depew’s Great Spesch. y “When' 1 was 4/ véry young. man.” Benator Depew once'related, “I went outmmnlpoflelllpeeehwm some older men one nllht. They want- ed something red heti nnd T handed it out. ““1 just turned mymt o skin the op: position, and, ou the'whole, the audi- ence seemed to like it."

I had roasted the other side awfully. 1 lay awake wondering if it wouldn’t react and Injure our side more than the opposition. “Then I bethought of some personal allusions I had made: that might eas- fly be constructed as' libelous. 1 got a good deal excited and slept very lit- tle. In the morning I hurried down to see whether the papérs had roasted me. The meeting was reported all over the front page. -I plunged into it, shivering in nervousness. But I needn’t have worrled. What it sald about my speech was in the last two lines: “‘A young man hamed Depew also spoke.’ "—New York Telegram. Collecting an Old Debt. The other day the manager of a fur- niture house in town asked one of his star salesmen to collect a bill of long standing, for. which the regular col- lector had been unable to get cash. The manager toid his man to threaten a lawsuit If necessary, The salesman said he would collect it without that und went to the delinquent’s office. He put the bill in the band of his derby hat, and with the hat held nonchalant- ly in his left hand he strolled into the inner shrine. The man at the desk looked at him inquiringly and then glanced down at the conspicuous bill. “Well, what is it?” he asked. “Pardon me,” said the salesman in his best manner, “but could you tell me is Mr. Jones dead?” “Why, no! I'm Mr. Jones.” “Thank you. That's all I wanted to know,” said the salesman and walked abruptly from the room. Next day a check came for the amount.—New York Sun. Saving the Union. Until we had a national game it was silly, according to Ellis Parker Butler in Success Magazine, to speak of the loose group of states as a nation. The people had too much time in which to talk politics, and whenever they talked polities they " became angered, and whenever they were: angered they wanted to secede or Enock spots off each other. There wads no one great unifying spirit. There was too much “Maryland, My Maryland,” and “Yan- kee Doodle” and not any “Casey at the Bat.” All the animus that is now di- rected at the umpire class was allow- ed to foment into sectional feeling. A man from Baltimore and a man from Boston could not meet and talk in- curves; they had to talk slaves. Im- agine the benighted state of soclety! It is a wonder that the nation lasted until baseball arose in its might and strength to make of us one great peo- ple! “When Finl.h.’d. Busy persons, forced to defend them- selves' from interminable talkers who have little to say, can appreciate a hint to which Henry IV. of France once re- sorted. A parliamentary deputy called upon him and made a long speech. The king listened patiently for a time, then he decided that his visitor would ‘do well to condense his remarks. He took him by the hand and led him to ‘where they conld see the gallery of the Louvre. “What do you think of that building? When it is finished it will be a good thing, will it not?” “Yes,” replied the man of many words, not guessing what was coming next. “Well, monsieur, that is just the way with your discourse,” was the king’s mild observation. Peculiarities of the Opossum. The American opossum is one of the most curious animals living in the United States. It is the only one that carries its young in a pouch like the kangaroo. It is the only animal that can feign death perfectly. It is re- markable for hanging by its tail like a monkey. It has- hands resembling those of a human being. Its snout is like a hog’s, while its mouth is liber- ally furnished with teeth. Its eyes are like a rat’s, and it hisses like a snake. Little by-Little: The Young Wife (showing her furni- ture)—Here’s the rocking chair for the parlor. Isn’t it just lovely? Mrs. Oldly (rather critically)—But I don’t see any rockers, dear.’ 'l‘hn Young ‘Wife—Oh, they’ll be here next month, You see, we are buying the chair on the installment plan, and we haven't paid for the rockers yet.”—San Fran- cisco Chronicle, Westminster Abbey. The full legal title of Westminster abbey is “the Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster.” Very' few peo- ple have beard the famous burial place so designated. A collegiate church, as distinguished from a parish church, is one that is administered by a “college” of priests instead of an individual rec- tor or vicar.—Westminster Gazette. Another Way. “Why don’t you throw away this old Junk? Tt is of no use to:any one.” “‘But that would make me feel waste- ful.” “Then give it away and feel chari- table.”—Washington ‘Herald. - Exercise {5 the chief ource of fm- provement in all our faculties.—Blair.

After being under water for a few seconds the bird would reappear with a sea trout wrig- gling in its bill. But in spite of the victim’s desperate efforts to escape it was deftly swallowed, and after a few gulps the cormorant would resume its fishing operations, One 'of the sea trout gave it considerable trouble, how- ever, for the fish struggled. violently for some moments, but was deftly placed so -that its head pointed down its captor’s throat, and thus its own struggles assisted the bird to swallow it. After a time the cormorant raised itself in the water, flapping its wings vigorously, as though to help it pack away its heavy repast, and then rose heavily and winged its way up- stream.” Simple Transaction. “I like de ’pearance o’ dat turkey mighty well,” said Mr. Johnson after a long and wistful study of the bird. Iy deaf. “How could I— What arrangements buy dat turkey?’ Mr. Johhson asked after a pause. “Basy terms 'nough,” said the mar- ketman briskly. “You get him by means o’ a note o’ hand.” “A note o’ hand.” repeated Mr. John- son, brightening up at once. “Do you mean 1 writes it out and pays some time when”— But his hope in this glo- rious prospect was rudely shattered by the marketman. “A mote o’ hand means in dis case,” he said, with disheartening clearness, “dat you hands me a two dollar note, Mr. Johnson, and 1 hands you de tur- key in response to dat note.” A Slap at Whistler. A young San Franciscan, the owner of a large and valuable collection of autographs, once wrote to James Me- Neill Whistler, politely requesting his signature. The letter was sent in care of the London Royal academy, with which the famous American painter was at outs. After four months the letter was returned to the San Fran- cisco address from the dead letter of- fice in Washington. Covering the en- velope was the word, repeated num- berless times, “Unknown.” Fuel In Ancient Rome. The fuel of the ancient Romans was almost exclusively charcoal. This was burned in open pans without grate or flue and gave economical heat for liv- ing rooms and baths. The inconven- ience of chimneys was avoided, and the heat could be easily regulated. T.
