How to Stop Runaways.
The policeman had stopped the run
away very neatly. Now, though puff
ing a little, lie was quite calm.
“It’s nothing to stop a runaway.” he
said as lie wiped his foam covered
hands. “It is like jumping on or off a
moving car—dead easy when you know
how. What you want to do when you
see a runaway tearing toward you is
not to stand still, but to run all your
might in the same way the nag's n-go
lng. Then, when it catches up to you,
you grab the bridle and keep a-run
ning. Then you are not thrown, you
are not trampled on, and in a minute
or two the horse slows down. I’ve
stopped a dozen runaways without an
accident. It’s part of our training, and
the policeman who would refuse to
take n chance would be disgraced the
same as a soldier who would refuse to
fight.”—New I York Press.
V/aked Him Up.
“Faro!”
Tho passenger gave no heed.
“Fare, please!”
Still was the passenger oblivious.
“By the ejaculatory term ‘fare,’ ”
said tire conductor. “I imply no refer
ence to the state of the weather, the
complexion of the admirable blond
you observe in the contiguous seat, nor
even to the quality of service vouch
safed by this philanthropic corpora
tion. I merely allude in a manner per
haps lacking in delicacy, but not in
conciseness, to the monetary obligation
sot up by your presence in this ear and
suggest that, without contempering
your celerity with cunctation. you
liquidate.”
At this point the passenger emerged
from his trance.—Columbus Dispatch.
Tres Fountain.
An extraordinary curiosity is to bo
seen in the Swiss village of Gunten. on
Lake Thun. It takes the form of a nat
ural tree fountain, the water flowing
continuously from a spout high up in
the tree. About twenty years ago the
water from a spring was conducted
through a shaft, and the supply pipe
was directed through the cut trunk of
a young poplar tree which was rammed
in the ground. After a short time the
trunk rooted, branches followed, and
now there is a splendid top growth.
Friendship.
Friendship Is a vase which when it
is flawed by boat or violence or acci
dent may as well be broken at once.
It never can be trusted after. The
more graceful and ornamental it was
the more clearly do we discern the
hopelessness of restoring it to Its
former state. Coarse stoues, if they
are fractured, may be cemented again;
precious ones, never.—Landor.
Greet Laughers.
The giant laughers have been men—
Shakespeare and Rabelais. I do not
regard Cervantes and Sterne as laugh
ers. They are smilers. They are not
Jolly roarers and guffawers. They are
not fat, rotund, jovial hilarities. They
are thin. lean, ironic smiles. A smile
Is a diluted laugh. Sterne is a diluted
Rabelais.—James Douglas in M. A. I\

Customs of Brittany.
Brittany alone, of all the provinces
of France, seems to have preserved its
types anil individuality. To be Breton
is by no means to be French. The old
men to this day shatter in the Celtic
tongue. The Breton mother when not
nt work in the fields sits In the door of
her cottage plying the distaff and recit
ing the old legends and quaint folk
songs to the white coifed baby beside
her. The Breton woman still wears
the costume of her mothers before her

Tho Men of the West. *
In the broad west work, even the
humblest—raising a roof, making the
desert blossom—has almost the thrill
of creation, as all necessary work has
if one can isolate it* enough to see
clearly its dignity. So, there, do the
strong, kindly men stand out—clean,
refreshing as the air of their high pla
teaus, solid and reassuring as the
mountains from which they have taken
strength. They are ours, these men.
and their generations yet unborn. In
their presence one may puff aside the
talk of graft and selfishness, the music
hall cynicism that Yankee Doodle has
become Yankee boodle. This is our
country—these our people. It is good
now and then to get down to the
ground.—Outing Magazine.
Colors or Lakes.
Some lakes are distinctly blue. Others
present various shades of green, so
that iiv some cases they are hardly dis
tinguishable from the level, grass cov
ered banks. A few are almost black.
The lake of Geneva is azure hued.
Both Lake Constance and the lake of
Lucerne are green. The color of the
Mediterranean has been called Indigo.
The lake of Brienz is greenish yellow,
and Its neighbor. Lake Thun, is blue.
Putting Something In It.
An Irishman who had started pho
tography went into a shop to purchase
a small bottle in which to mix some
of his solutions. Seeing one he want
ed, he asked how much it would be.
“Well,” said the chemist, “it will be
twopence as it is, but if you want any
thing in it I won’t charge you for the
bottle.”
“Faith, sor." said Pat, “til*® put a
cork in it” -Loudon Queen.

No Insult Intended.
A London exquisite had gone into a
west end restaurant and w ns? far from
pleased with the way in which his or
der was filled.
“Do you call that a veal cutlet?” ho
demanded of the waiter. “Why. such
a cutlet as that is an insult to every
self respecting calf in the British em
pire.”
The waiter bung his head for a mo
ment, but recovered himself and said
in a tone of respectful apology:
“I really didn’t intemd to insult y o%
sir!”—London Answers.
