myself in a small village and <F

at the livery stable clipping a

“Course; what do you think I m

tone.
“Well, I have one that needs at¬

he asked.

treat a tooth that is aching?”

tried to force a finger that w-as cov¬

would find out what sort of work
he did.

One day last week a man
crossing Clark street near the
As he reached the middle of the
tracks a rapidly driven horse
ran him down. He struck at the
mal’s nose with his fist, and in
ing so was thrown heavily to
pavement. He rolled in such a way
that his head went between the front
and rear wheels of a broad tired
wagon, drawn by a heavy span of
horses and loaded with produce.
Half a hundred men shouted a
, k warning, and a woman on the side¬
walk shrieked with horror. But be¬
fore the fallen man could turn the
heavy hind wheel of the wagon
passed directly over his neck and
the lower part of his faoe.
By this time the driver had dis¬
covered that something was wrong,
and he reined his horses to their
haunches. The wheels crushed back¬
ward over the man’s neck for a sec¬
ond time, but before the front wheel
reached him half a dozen men were
dragging him away.
Just as they all had made up their
minds that the man was dead ho
jumped up and ran to tho sidewalk
in the direction in which he was go¬
ing when he fell. Policeman Watb
ier, who stands at the crossing, ask¬
ed if he should call an ambulance.
(4 Oh, no,” said the man quickly,
‘‘my ear is not much injured, and
I’ll go home on the street cars. 11

at the Chicago Avenue police station.
One afternoon a tall, heavily built
negro came hurrying up the street
with his hand closoly clasped over
his chin. He ran into tho station
shivering with fright.
it Ah’m shot dead,” he said to the
sergeant.
Then he took away his hand and
showed an ugly gash across his
chin.
ti Oh, you’re not dead,” said the
sergeant.
“Yes, ah am—ah’m done shot

A hasty examination showed that
a 38 caliber bullet was lodged be¬
neath the skin just under the edge
of the nogro’s chin.
It was easily slitted out.
Upon investigation it was found
that the bullet had been fired from
a revolver in the hands of a man
who had not stood more than ton
reet
murder, had escaped.
But the ball struck the point of
the chin, and the bone was so hard
that it could not pierce its way
through, although it was flattened
by the impact. —Chicago Record.
The Zero of Temperature.
No explorer has yet been able to
hang his cap on the north pole, nor
has the chemist in his laboratory
yet succeeded in reaching what may
be called the north pole of his re¬
searches—namely, the zero of tem¬
perature, or the temperature of ce
lostial space. This zero has been de¬
fined as that point of temperature at
which gas particles would give no
pressure and have no volume, a oon
dition whioh, it is said, would take
place at a tempernture of 274 de
grees below the freezing point of
water. Unlike tho arctio explorers,
however, who have a number of
roads open by which to approaoh
the pole, the chemist has only one
route by which to reach the chilly
destination be seeks, and that is by
the liquefaction of all the gases.
This, the textbooks state, has al
ready been accomplished, but the
chemist in search of the zero tem
perature knows better.

THE ANSWER.

Meet me tonight where the pampas phones
Wave over the bridge by the rushing stream,
And the scent of the honeysuckle blooms
■ Is adrift on the air in the moonlight’s gleam.
Whore the orange blossoms wait for the bride.
And the roses swoon by the lilies white,
Where tha palms are rustling the date beside,
And the lemons are gold in the silver light.
Wo wil1 foll " vV the P ath to the trarden gate,
j The eucalyptus will say, “It is late,
But love is coming to you, sweet friends. ”
And down the walk in the moonlight glow,
As it filters its arrowy glints to me,
We will talk of the love of the long ago,
By the murmuring waves of the sunset sea.
Meet me tonight and your heart shall thrill
In the rapturous calm with a tender spell.
You ask my soul for its answer still,
1 will give it tonight if you meet me, Will.
The way has been long and I missed you so,
i need you so, as I hope and wait.
But will it be “yes” or will it be no “no?”
I will tell you tonight by the garden gate.
We will look at the rocks, at the sundy sweep,
How it glistens and moves at the waves’
ress,
At the bridge of moonbeams over the deep,
Will I tell jou “no,” will I tell you “yes?”
Your eyes will shine as they bend to mine.
And your voice, as the waters, will plead
with me,
But you never can know till 1 tell you 90 ,
What the quivering cry of my soul will be,
Till together we stand by the sunset sea.

A curious physical formation
which has separated animal life

is one of the Elat Top mountaius in
Garfield county. This mountain
stands up like a gigantio oube. On

where the oonneotiug link with its
broad and levol summit was centu¬

mountains, can be plainly seen.
From vantage points some miles
away fieldglassos will disclose on a
clear day moving animals on the
great mesa. Those who have been
there pronounce them as beyond

the hat, broad borus and having the
shambling actions of these animals,
now unknown to the game seexo.„

The animals on the top of this IU6BH

two or three schemes have been
