As a passenger train on the Hannibal was puling out a tall countryman, in cumbered with four bundles, a scythe snath, au ax handle, a bag of bananas and a small boy, came out of the depot and began to take his bearings. Up and down the tracks his gate wandered, up and down the long lines of coaches drawn up under the sheds, and at last, ■■ the.rear coach was passing him, he caught sight of the moving train. “Come on, Freddie! Thar she goes!” he yelled and began to transfer some of bis belongings from hit right hand to ins left as he ran. Freddie made an /amazing record for one whose legs were so short, and they were soon beside the steps on the rear end of the last coqch. There was a man standing on the plat form. “Hay, stop ’er, stop ’er!” cried Fred die’s pa. "Put on that ar wind brake, mister! Pull that ar rope up over your head and make ’er stop!’* But the man Oiily'reached down and oaugbt Freddie,*&ho was leaping and swinging and dragging by turns in his vain efforts to make his short legs stretch far enough to get bis feet on the lower step. Pa held on to him with one hand and the man on the platform finally succeeded in drawing him up. Pa slung the banana bag after him. It slid on across the platform and Went overboard on the other side. Pa made a leap for the steps, dropped a bundle and stooped to pick it up. The recovery of the bundle took but a second, but the train was getting welt under way and was a tail's length ahead when he be gan the chase again. One wild spurt, with his, coattails standing out behind him, a reckless leap, and pa, too, was aboard, but a bundle containing an un ' derfihirt had been lost in the tussle. An employee of the depot picked the bundle up, and a section man who hap pened by appropriated the bananas to his own refreshment. The crowd that had breathlessly awaited the result of the race melted away, and the depot at tendants, who had been preparing to pick pa up with shovels, went about their duties. ~ Half an hour later a very angry man came prancing down the depot platform. He was holding a small boy by one hand, and the ends of an ax handle and scythe snath protruded from under his ‘ arm. It was pa. He approached a depot official and said: “Why didn't you tell me that wasn’t the Wabash? I wanted the Wabaih; Jttaft’s what I wanted. ” The official tenderly handed pa his new undershirt and replied in'die soft tones that soothAtbe ruffled soul: "I believe yoi fdrgot to ask me. k ’ — Kansas City Times. s • INSISTED ON PAYING. A Man Who Wouldn’t Accept Leant' Advice For Nothin*. The other day an old fellow slouched into Attorney Oscar Kahn’s office, on Legal row, and introduced himself as Mr. Smith, Jones, Brown, or something, of a neighboring counter. He said he wanted to consult a lawyer and was ac corded a seat and one of the attorney’s sweetest smiles. He then explained that while he was away from home the sheriff or some deputy had attached his wife’s sewing machine and bureau for taxes. He did not propose to tolerate such imposition, he declared. “What is the amount of taxes?” in quired the lawyer. , “Lemme see—ll.2B,” was the reply. The lawyer could not conceal a smile, but hastened to say: “Well, Mr. Smith, if ycu want my advice, it is to go back and sc:He that small amount It looks like the easiest and best way out of it. ” The old fellow thought a moment and replied that he believed he would. Answering, he asked, “How much do I owe you?” “Oh, nothing, sir,” was the reply. “I won’t charge you anything for a lit tle advice like that.” “But I alius pays fer whut I git and want ter pay yer jes’ the same.” “Oh, that’s all right; come in again some time when you need advice on something more important, and we’ll square it then.” “Naw, I want ter pay it now. Jes’ squeal out. Es it’s 25 cents, I’ll pay it. Es yewant 50, there It is!” And he threw down a half dollar and left. — Paducah (Ky.) Sun. Harklair back.

Dr. E. A. Down of this city In his offi cial capacity as a member of the state .board of charities visits periodically the various insane asylums of the state, and ho has had an opportunity that few men have of studying teeanity in all its as pects. In the course of his visitations ho has gathered one of the moat unique col lections that were ever got together. It con sists of a number of primitive tools manu factured by the inmates of insaug Iprtltb tlons for purposes of escape or defense at attack. Many insane people are possessed of the delusion that they are the objects of some special persecution, and in order to protect themselves against their supposed perse cutor or in order to be prepared to attack him when they chance to meet him they work in secret and prepare for themselves some very unique weapons. More com monly their efforts are expended in mak ing tools for purposes of escape. The materials which they have at hand for this purpose limited, they are compelled to use whatever they can find, and the greatest ingenuity Is often exercised by men that to the casual ob server would seem quite incompetent. Dr. Down’s collection of these primitive weapons and tools is quite comprehensive in its line, and each article in it carries with it a thrilling story of escape or at tempted escape. There is a screwdriver made from a spoon which a patient at an opportune moment smuggled to hie room from the dining table. He broke off the spoon just above the bowl, and under cover of the noise which prevailed at times ground down the handle on bis stone window sill until it assumed the form of a screwdriv er. With this ho removed the screws which held the slat at the side of his window and made his escape in this manner. This man was a harmless patient, who was troubled with recurrent attacks of excitement and who took pleasure at such times in wit nessing the fright which he Inspired in those who thought him dangerous. The next article in the collection is an improvised dagger and sheath, the dagger made from a nail with a piece of rag for a handle and the sheath made from a chicken bone. The weapon was found on the per son of the maker and was taken before he had time to complete the dagger by filing down the point oh the nail. Another improvised weapon is a dirk made from a long nail with the end well sharpened and a rag wrapped around the other end to aerve as a handle. This in strument was as sharp as an ordinary knife and would be a formidable weapon in tho hands of a crazy man. Perhaps the most unique article in the collection is a key made from a piece of orange peel. This apparently harmless tool was made by a female patient and was discovered before she had an oppor tunity to test its efficiency. The prison officials found on trial that this key made from dried orange peel would unlock read ily almost any old and worn lock. Tho doctor has also a key made from wood and one made from wood and a piece of orange peel, and others made from the handle of a blacking box, from a small staple, etc., all of which will unlock old locks with more or less ease. Screwdrivers seem to be the instrument which the in mates consider most useful, and there are several strange varieties of this tool in the doctor’s collection. They are made from nails, buttonhooks, springs, from the heel of a woman's shoe and heel plates and clothes hooks.—Hartford Courant. Wisconsin With a Bear. While walking/Jong the river road in the woods nea/ Oconto* Wls., Edward Brunke was attacked by a bear and had a tussle that lasted until the bear had made carpet rags of Brunke’s clothes and left wounds on his arms that will stand as tes timonials hereafter to bruin’s ability as a wrestler. According to Brunke’s story, the bear approached him walking on his hind legs, front paws outstretched, and with grinning, open mouth. Brunke at first suspected that the bear was a make believe, rigged up by some of his friends, but soon discovered his error when the paws laid hold of his waist. “It was a case of catch as catch can,’’ said Brunke, “so I tried the grapevine or hip lock, but the bear’s claws were sharp, so to even things I slipped out my jack" knife and ran it into his throat.’* The bear let go, but took a new hold, and. the pair rolled upon the ground, where both combatants practiced half Nelsons, full Nelsons, strangle and other holds until they rolled into the bushes, where Brunke finally escaped from the animal’s clutches. Brunke came to the city to have his wounds dressed and to patronize a tailor. —Chicago Inter Ocean. Sun Spots. The annunoement that Paris meteorolo gists regard sun spots as having some re lation to temperature leads the Rochester Post-Express to say: “It is more than 15 years ago that Henry C. Maine of this city proclaimed as an in controvertible scientific fact the indissolu ble relation of cause and effect between solar disturbances, better known as sun spots, and meteorological disturbances on the earth, and thus incurred the ridicule that comes to reward a man of an original turn of mind for a discovery that runs counter to current ignorance and preju dice. “Now that he has won the good fight and laid the foundations to a true science of weather we do not propose to stand by in cowardly silence and permit ‘the Paris meteorological authorities’ or even so re spectable a scientist as M. Flammarion coolly to gather in the fruits of his long, arduous and most noteworthy labors.” Count Muravieff. “Count Muravieff,” says the London Sun, “is a dandified little man to look at, with a taste for English check trousers and billycock hats. He used to be regard ed as pld Russian to the backbone and the uncompromising enemy of all western institutions. It was supposed, ? tao, that be was more completely in sympathy with the views of Alexander HI than of the present czar. Count Muravieff was said to have been Indebted for his appointment as minister for foreign affairs to em press dowager, and his appointment was regarded as a triumph for the reactionary party. ’ ’ A Flahtinar Parson. Before Santiago Chaplain Brown of Arizona was seen to seize the carbine of a wounded trooper as the fight began to, grow fierce and work his way to the front of thfe fighting line.

No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless he is clean, healthy, honest, young, strong and intelligent, nor can he afterward get that advancement, which is certainly open to him without fear or favor, unless he continues to show aptitude and ability.—-Park Ben jamin in Independent ARMY AND NAVY GUNS. A Vast Diflbranea Im the Member of Men Required to Handle Them. The number of men required to man naval guns of the British, French, Ger man and American navies is about the same, although the French are under stood to have more men as a rule for some of the larger guns. For the 4 inch and C inch all services require four men to work each piece; for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and for the 10, 12 and 18 inch the same number. As nearly all our 8, 10, 12 and 18 inch guns are used in pairs and mount ed in turrets the 12 men working them are protected by heavy plates of steel. For the little 1 pounders three men are necessary to work them rapidly, and for the 3 pounders and 6 pounders four men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss three men. Treble the number of men seem to be required to work the same caliber of guns in our coast defense system, al though there is. no special reason for this, unless it be,due to the fact that the army guns are mounted on disap pearing carriages and are not provided with turrets, which naturally limits the space of the operators. An army A inch gun takes 16 men to work it; a 10 inch gun requires 18 men, and a 12 inch gun, the largest now constructed by the army, calls for 21 men. It will be seen, therefore, that a 18 inch naval gun is operated by six men, while an army gun of one inch less cali ber calls for 21 men. The navy gun can be fired just as rapidly with its six men as the army gun can be fired with its larger number.—Boston Herald. At Sea on Maskat. A funny scene occurred many years ago in congress. A present of Arabian horses, a sword, etc., arrived from the imam of Maskat for President Adams. A western member with some heat moved that the gift should be sent back, with a letter from congress, in forming the ruler of Maskat that the president of the United States was no King, but the servant of the people, and was not permitted to give or receive presents. Another member rose. “Such a let ter, Mr. Speaker,” he said, “can easily be written. But where is it to be sent? Where is Maskat?” There was no response. Apparently not a member of the house was prepared to answer, nor could Maskat then be found in any atlas published in this country. It was found at last on a Ger man map A civil answer was returned, and the geographers made haste to in sert Maskat in the next edition of their maps. —Exchange. The Other Way Around. The loyalty of the Scottish highlander to his kilt is a picturesque thing. He will never admit that it makes him cold, and highlanders who were suffer ing from cold in the ordinary dress of civilization have been known to substi tute the kilt for it in order to get warm, though this would be much like removing one’s ooat and waistcoat and rolling up one’s shirt sleeves for the same purpose. It is said that a stranger, seeing a soldier in full highlander uniform shiv ering in a cold wind, asked him: “Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?” “Na, na, mon,” the soldier answered indignantly, “but I’m nigh kilt with the cauld I”—Exchange. Hurrah! W. J. Spratley, the Egyptologist, thinks that “there can be no doubt that the Egyptian soldiers in ancient times wen| into the battle to the inspiring cheer of tbe'Hooßa! Hooßa!
