RIDING ON A DOOR.
.. •
The Steed Which • Cyclone Famished —1
Impromptu Traveler.
Christian Van den Harvner, familiar
ly known in Celina, 0., as Cyclone
Johnny, is perhaps the only man living <
that enjoys the unique distinction of 6
having ridden a cyclone astride a house •
door for a distance of over a quarter of
a mile. This remarkable feat was per
formed not as a matter of choice, but 1
perforce of necessity by the above nam- J
ed person when the cyclone swept across *
Celina in May, 1886.
Oydlone Johnny's description of the
cyclone is graphic and thrilling. He 1
was living at the time eight miles west
of Celina, and on the night of the cy- 1
clone be and Mr. Bryan’s family were ♦
watching the raging of the storm in the 1
west. The electric display was wonder- *
ful, and to him it seemed as though the 1
world was about to come to an end by 1
fire. The flashes were so brilliant that
the eyes could not withstand them. The
family became alarmed and decided to 1
go to the cellar for safety. The cellar *
was directly underneath the porch, on f
the west side of the house, and Harvner
assisted in getting the children to this 1
place of safety, and he was the last one 1
to leave the house. Just as he stepped I
upon the porch and before he released «
his hold upon the doorknob the storm
swept down upon him in all its fury.
He went sailing through the air, over I
the tops of trees, the uppermost branch
es of which tore his clothes from his *
body. The gait he traveled was terrific, (
and it seemed but a second from the *
time he started until he- found himself
safely dropped into a large field unin
jured, save fpr the scratches inflicted
upon him as he sailed Over thei top of the
trees. This field was a little over a quar
ter of a mile from Mr. Bryan’s house, <
and Harvner wandered around in the I
darkness and driving rain until he met
a searching. party, among whom was I
Mr. Bryan, who, together with his en
tire family, were saved by their oppor- •
tune flight to the cellar.—Cincinnati 1

TWO BLONDS. ’
‘ i
One of Them Was Impolite, but the Other j
One Got Even.
A sallow little blond entered an !
electrio car and sat down effusively by
a very handsome blond with brown. 3
eyes.
“Oh, Harriet! I am so glad to see
you! I’ve had so many engagements 1
lately that I see nothing of you. How '
have you been?”
“Much an- usual,” answered the 1
brown eyed blond.
“Are you going to the s’ little
Lenten dance?” 1
“No.” <
“You aren’t! Why, everybody is go- '
Ing ’ ’ <
“It will be a very populous dance. ” '
“But why aren’t you going?” 1
A shade of annoyance passed over the 1
brown eyed blond’s face, but she an
swered simply, “Because I’m not in
vited.”
“Oh, that’s too bad! I’m so sorry you
were left out And they seemed to have
gone into the highways and hedges,
too, from what I can hear. I’m going -
to wear violet silk. ”
“I think you might wear violet silk, ”
said the brown eyed blond gently but
distinctly, turning a searching gaze
upon her companion’s complexion, “if
you put on plenty of powder. You are
determined to wear violet silk?”
“I thought—l think”— stammered
the other woman, reddening through
her sallowness.
“Then be sure to remember my ad
vice and put on plenty of powder—yes,
I think in that case you might venture
to wear violet silk. ”
The sallow blond did not say anoth
er word, but sat over ostentatiously and
gave a aewcomer a seat. Perhaps she
had not meant to be rude, with her sor
row and her highways and hedges. But
people were smiling around her, secret
ly glad, as we cannot help being, of
witnessing the neat pat with which a
skilled fencer drops a roistering and
bullying antagonist.—Chicago Post.

A Nice Little Order.
A man who had “got on” in life and
rapidly amassed a large fortune, on fur
nishing a new and luxuriously fitted
house, suddenly discovered, tb his great
distress, that he had omitted the “harm
less necessary” library. He went to a
local shop and ordered a supply of books.
“What are your particular tastes?”
asked the bookselller.
“Oh, I’ve no hideas about the mat
ter, “was the reply. “You’re a book
seller—you ought to know all about it
I simply ask you to provide me with a
library.” »
“And you have no preference?”
“No, but wait a second. I ’ave a
preference. There’s a man whose books
I ought to ’ave. Now, bless me, what’s
’isname? Shake—Shakes—Shakes some
thinff ”
“Shakespeare,” suggested the book
seller.
“That’s ’im—Mr. Shakespeare. Get
all he’s written, and see that any new
books he may write are ordered for me
immediately.”—Pearson’s Weekly.

“Has my daughter been profiting by
your instructions in art?” inquired Mr.
Blykina
“Yes,” answered the teacher. “Iwas
a little discouraged at first. But I can
now assure you that she is getting on. ”
“What progress has she made?”
“She has finally become convinced
that she doesn’t know more about it
than the old masters.” —Washington
Star.

FISHING AMONG HEELS.
The Badly ■mbarHu.x.d Voath Ca«*M
Something at Each Dive.
A modest Cleveland youth, an Adal
bert undergraduate, boarded a south ride
car a few evenings ago, and when he
seated himself carelessly droppad his
small gripsack on the floor behind his
/eet. Presently the car began to fill up.
Most of the new passengers were girls,*
and as they came in one by one tbe
Adel bert man crowded along a little and
so got away from his gripsack. There
were at least half a dozen girls at his
est, and it was in that direction that
his grip was located.
Pretty soon the car neared his stop
ping place, and the Adelbert man be
thought himself of his baggage. He put
his Land to the floor—it wasn’t there—
that is, the grip wasn’t there. He felt a
little way to the left; he couldn’t
reach it.
Then he straightened np.
“Pardon me,” he said, with a some
what inflamed countenance, “bntlhave
a grip somewhere under here. ” And be
dove down again.
All he could feel was dainty boot
heels, two of them badly run down. He
reached a little farther. Another boot
heel. The girls began to wriggle un
easily.
Up came the young man again.
His countenance was still more in
flamed. This time he arose to his feet.
“It’s here somewhere, ” he murmur
ed. “If you don’t object, I’ll try
again." Down he went and clawed
along still farther to tbe left. *
“I’ve got it,” be muttered.
He pulled, but it didn’t come. *-- ;
“One moment,” he Mid, “here it ia?’
“Kp» il isn’t, ” piped a shrill soprano.
There was a brief struggle, and then
the bashful youth realized that he had
hold of the young woman’s foot
He stood up at thia with a despairing
glare.
Perhaps the girls were moved to pity
by his hopeless look; perhaps they didn’t
like the way the other passengers were
giggling. Anyway they shuffled around
and soon produced the missing bag.
And the youth with the scarlet face
scooted from the car.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
HOW THEY WOULD SPEND IT.
Novel Experiment as to What Boys and
Girl* Would Do With S 5.
A very interesting experiment with
school children was recently made in
Springfield, Mass., by Dr. George E.
Dawson. He persuaded 1,807 of them,
nearly equally divided as to sex, to
write an answer to the query, “If you
had $5, all your own, what would you
dq with it?” Nearly one-half of them
(44 per cent) answered that they would
deposit the money in a bank, 18.8 per
cent would buy clothing, 2.2 per cent
would buy something to eat, 15.3 per
cent would buy toys and other means
of amusement, 2.1 per cent would buy
jewelry and finery, nipe-ienths of 1 per
cent would buy firearms, 1.7 per cent
would spend it for travel, 14 per cent
would spend it for others and 6 per cent
would buy books, eto.
The disposition to rirrt sbowir-by'sb
many of the children is attributed by*
Dr. Dawsqn largely to their susceptibil
ity to suggestion. While the children
do not realize the full significance of
saving, the idea has been engrafted up
on their minds and is bound to have its
influence. In noting the percentage of
those who would buy clothing it should
be remembered, he says, that many of
the children were in urgent need of
something bettor to wear. Those who
voted for something to eat were mostly
under 7 years of age. In regard to trav
el, the figures show that as children
grow older the desire to go out into the
world increases tapidly, reaching its
height at about the beginning of adoles
cence.
The desire shown by the boys for fire
arms is an expression of the hunting in
stinct that awakens when they are 10
or 12 years of age. At that age boys
like to get hold of books of hunting and
adventure. The tendency to buy books
increases steadily as the children grow
older. This class numbers about twice
as many girls as boys. The class which
manifests a feeling of altruism also
numbers more girls than boys, showing
that the greater generosity of women
is strikingly manifest even at an early
: age.—New York Post.
Lor, Mom U. 8. A.
On looking at a late map of Missouri
one will find the name “Log" as a post
office at the extreme western end of
Newton county and about eight miles
southwest of Grand Falls. A few days
ago Deputy United States Marshal Short
had occasion to serve papers from the
Oklahoma federal court on several per
sons residing in that direction, and he
was given their postoffice address aS
Log. As it was not a familiar name in
this vicinity he wandered about the
hills until he came to the end of a log
house extending from the brush and
concluded that it was the place he was
searching for. He asked for the post
master, and a woman replied that she
was the official, and upon inquiry as to
her name the officer also learned that
she was one of the parties to be subpoe
naed. She was also asked why her office
was called Log and stated that she
didn’t know exactly, butthat when the
office was first established it was called
“Loghouse, ” which the postoffice de
partment considered too lengthy, so it
dropped the “bouse.”—Kansas City
Journal.

A HARD MAN TO BEAT
THE LIVE RAILROAD AGENT 18 UP TO
ALL SORTS OF TRICKS.
* '
Clwa. Peopta Ar. C«f Th—
•elvea, hat Thia Story Showa How Om
Party Waa Ctovariy Oatwttted hy the
HnsUing Railroader.
“There are people who think you
can’t beat a circus man, but I want to
tell you that the hardest man to do is •
live railroad nrius."
The old Mwdust manager had tried
it He continued:
“Know where Purcell is in the In
dian 'Ttaritory? Away down at the
jumping off place on tbeSantaFe road.
The show bad been at Purcell and we
wanted to get out in the night for a
long run. We were going to make a
jump to Kansas City. Not far from
Purcell ia another town, Oklahoma
City. At that point a competing road
with the Santa Ferans in. We had «00
people, and of course tbe railroad men
were after us. It was a big haul. Some
of our people bought through tickets
from PuroelL and they didn’t worry.
But about 200, maybe more, of the
crowd that always haggles over a 10
oent dicker concluded to take the Santa
Fe from Purcell to Oklahoma City, pay
the short haul, and then take the com
peting line at Oklahoma, the agents of
which were active and full of promises.
“Then the Santa Fe man fixed it so
the dickerers couldn’t buy any tickets
from Purcell to Oklahoma, for the train
we were to go on was a special. The
dickerers said that was all right; that
they would wait for the regular. In
less than fire minutes a bulletin was
slapped on the board of the station to
the effect that tbe regular Santa Fb was
12 hours late. That made the fellows
who Were dickering for a cheaper'rate
turn white around their gills.
“In another five minutes I saw a man
on a track velocipede scudding down the
stretch. Every man to his business. So
I thought the railroad people knew
what they were doing, and they did.
That chap on the velocipede was going
down the track to flag the regular and
hold it indefinitely. Smart triok, wasn’t
it? Wait till I tell you. There was a
smarter triok than that.
“When the special got ready to pull
out, the dickerers asked the agent if
they could pay on the train from Pur
cell to Oklahoma, and he said ‘Cert.*
So they all boarded the train at Pur
cell, intending to get off. at Oklahoma.
Just before the train pulled out the
agent walks down to the engine and
asks the old man at the throttle how
long he had been on the road and about
the capacity at his iron horse, and so
forth. _ C
“ ‘How many miles an hour can she
go at her best?’ asked the agent.
“ ‘On a good traok, 65 miles.’
“ ‘ls it a good traok through Oklaho
ma City?’ r
“ ‘Yes, pretty good.*
f‘ *AU right. You’ve got no orders to
“^F.kS- 0 ” P ’ b*™ 7 ° nf ’
“ ‘Well, when you get to the edge of
the town you let her go. Don’t stop for
anything—flags or teams or cattle.
Scoot through the town at a 65 mile
gait, or more if you like, and don’t
slow up until you strike that atrip of
desolation about H miles t’other ride
and you smoke a box of the finest cigars
in Chicago. Is it a go?’
“‘lf I don’t get no orders ’forel
start.*
‘“Well, you are five mintttea hrte
now.’
“In a minute, and I calculate it was
less, the oiroua special waa. under way.
It went around curves like a scared
snake. It shot across straight lines like
a gazelle that had been singed. It
whirled the dust of that country into
the sky. After awhile we mw a town.
Then we went through it like the wom
an that’s shot from the catapult, only
more so. One of the dickerers, who was
smiling to think the conductor bad not
yet come round, asked a brakeman as
the train was going through the street,
‘What town is this?’ The brakeman
said, ‘Oklahoma City.*
“The dickerer’s smile faded as it
came, as the poet says, and his hair
stood up, and turning to the brakeman
he says:
“ ‘Jezecrimini! Stop her! Here’s
where we get off 1*
“ ‘She doesn’t even hesitate at a town
like this, ’ said the brakeman.
“Well, about/Il miles on thia ride,
in a strip of country where a crow can’t
live and where an Indian wouldn’t be
caught dead, theold iron horse began to
slow up. The conductor came through
just then and said:
“ ‘Tickets!’
“Well, say, that was a funny eight.
Them that had tickets showed up and
then went to sleep. But tbe diokerers
began to kick. They said they should
have been let off at Oklahoma City.
The conductor said the train didn’t stop
at Oklahoma, that it wasn’t scheduled
to stop there, and that he wasn’t going
to gp back that trip. Tbe leader of the
dickerers for cheap fares wanted to
know what was to be done.
“The conductor was an old timer. He
had a face on him like a woman who
never loved anybody. He jnst told
them, ‘Pay or getoff.’ Then they asked
him where they could pay to. And he
said the train wouldn’t stop any more
until it got to Kansas City the next
morning unless it stopped to put them
off. And he reached up and caught the
bellcord.
“And every one of the dickerers paid
to Kansas City. And, of course, under
the railroad law, they paid more than
they would have paid If they had
bought tickets at PuroelL And the com
pany was that much ahead. And that’s
what I mean when I my that tbe hard
est man to do is a live railroad man.”
