THE POWER OP A PACE. ,
Ah, the potent power of a single
fact—even of a married face—upon
the one #bo, beholding it, understand-
lntiy and responsively reads!
Recently I was In a greatly pertub-
ed statu of mind. I was running fot
a Milwaukee train at the Chicago
union Button, and 2 feared I was late.
In sn agony of suspense and men*
UI anguish, with protruding*eyes and
;npln* mouth. I labored on with what
speeu i might while burdened down
with ..‘•avy yylps.
While I was thus suffering notice
able to the most casual observer, 1
sud-lenl} *aw a fac?—a placid com
mon fac -—but It boro a message of
courage and hope for me. It made roe
ashamfd, Instantly, that I was perturb
ed or anguished In spirit over so small
a thing as the prospect of missing
a train.
My features relaxed; my eyes re
turned to the vicinity of their sockets;
my mouth came shut like a steel trap
whose springs has suddenly been re
leased. Calm entered my spirt; ray
pace slackened.
The face I had seen was that of
the union station clock, and it told me
I had ten minutes to make my train.

1908 LEAP YEAR.
Next year is leap year, and come
e calls attention to a remarkable
coincidence. It is that In 1908, Wash
ington’s birthday, Decoration Day and
the Fourth of July nil fall on Satur
day, and as Memorial day comes on
Sunday, perhaps »his occasion will al-
be observed in many places on Sat
urday. The public In many states
111 thus have three or four double
holidays. Ordinarily these events do
not occur oa the same day, but by
the intervention of tho 29th of Feb
ruary It Is made to happen. The ad
vantage of having a holiday adjoin a
Sunday for the people who djjslra to
seize the opportunity to make trips
out of town. Is very great. In creat
Ing the last general holiday—Labor
Day—advantage of this principle was
taken In the selection oLthe first Mon
day In September Instead of a num
bered day of tho month. Attention
is called to the further fact that in
1909, Washington’s birthday falls on
Monday, Decoration day. May 30, and
the Fourth of July on Sunday, which
will mean a Monday observance, so
that for two years In succession dou
ble holidays are assured.—Exchange.

A CHRISTMAS FAIRY-TALE.
I know the tale I tell will seem
"The baseless fabric of a dream;"
I tell of one who, Christmas time.
Dismayed a spirit so sublime.
With unfeigned grattltude she took
Three pin-balls and a needle-book.
Four dollies, and a hair pin case.
A ad two small trays received with
grace,
3he recognized, without a tear,
The crocheted dolly sent last year
To a dear, absent- minded friend.
Who back again the gift did send.
Without a frown this angel took
Two copies of the self same book;
Accepted with a happy face, __
Three hat pin bottles trimmed with
lace;
She had no scornful thought or hard
For a much traveled Christmas card;
And greatest miracle of all;
As she received her last pin-ball
Not evr.n in her heart did say,

THE TORPEDO BOAT CREWS.
Tbero has been a great deal said
about the passage of the battleship
fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacifflo
and dosorvedly so, for it Is an under
taking such as this country has never
attempted In its previous history and
ono that Is filled With many chances
of failure, inasmuch as the success of
the trip is to1>e considered according
to tho condition in which the entire
ttoet arrives at Mogdelena Bay. If
some of tho vessels fall then the suc
cess will be diminished.
But tho real hcroea of the big fleet
are the torpedo boats crews, who are
shut up in tho six diminutive vessels
that left some days ahead of their
larger consorts and which in the roll
ing ocean are anything but pleasant
places to spend day after day
Russian officers who tarreled '
Rojestvensky's Hoot in one of them
thus describes hts experience:
Tho torpedo boats are crowded,
dirty, not. always rolliug. There Is
nowhere to walk for exorcise. The
cSeers and crew are crowded togeth-
AII hands cat on deck, anywhere
at any v time. The officers, like tlu»
men. wear only an undershirt and
trousers and so barefooted. The vi
bration Is no great that they car.uoi
<!eop or write, and It Is even difficult
to walk. Tao divers are tossed nl>ou?
so much while repairing the damag
ed propeller thac hey become violent
ly seasick while (n their diving
clothes. Their labor is so exhaust
Ing that they are continually replaced.
ZUtiD E'JT rLAY33 CARDS.
A German newspaper man, writing
> his paper !rc:n New York, tells this
story about seme Sailors £na£ Har
ter iun:atc3:
"My guide was an Intelligent ex-
raGenrau, who salJ his name was
William Scott—his measmatea called
him ‘scotty.’
“ ’Scoty’ was enthusiastic about
Governor Delahanty, and when we
stood before the long white covered
tables in the mess hall he said:
“ ‘Now, don't this look more like a
hotel than an institution?*
“Near tho coflee rooir, where twice
a day between meals the men have
coffee and biscuit, he took me to a
room where about thirty men wero
playing cards and about twice that
number looking on.
’ ’This club room’ says my guide,
’has two names—Hell's Kitchen and
Monte Carlo.
“Here I met Frank Hanna who Is a
remarkable man.
"He la totally blind, bat when I
saw him be was playing cards with
another inmate.
The cards had been marked by
Hanna with pin pricks. He plays rap
idly never hesitated and never made
a mistake. He ha* the name of bolng
the best pinocle player among the
nine hundrej Inmates.
"Another blind man, Peter Kelly,
makes tennis nets, and takes long
walks and goes fishing alone. My
guide told mo that some years ago
a party of pedestrians had lost their
way in the woods about five miles
from the harbor, and were guided to
the railroad station t>y the old sallci-
man, whose blindness was not known
to them until the people at the sta
tion revealed the fact to the tour
ists.’’

! A WILD MAN CAUSES TERROR
■ A wild man, a3 strong and ferocl-
j cu3 as any beast that roams the

jreisn cf t-arrer among the Inhabitants
i cf small Washington towns along the
i Mont2 Cristo branch of the Northern
j Pacific railroad.
j Nels Helgansen, recently from St.
; Paul, Minn., wa3 attacked by the
monster while in the brush, and says
ii walked upright and wore a few
ragged garments, and carried a rusty
rifle, which was leveled at aim, tho
hammers striking several times with
out shooting. The strapping 3wede
grabbled with his assailant, and got
the worst of ihe match.
Other loggers laughed at his story
until John O’Leary had a similar ex
perience. He went to sleep In a de
serted cabin and was awakened by a
denc-mical yell. Rising, he was
knocked to the ground again, but hit
the thing with an axe as It lunged for
his throat. Ic then slunk off with a
piteous half-human WML
Many old-timers at Granite Falls
say they have seen the wild man,
who is believed to be a Frenchman,
who took up a timber claim near
Mount Pilchuck fl7e years ago and dis
appeared mysteriously two; years* la-
The supposition Is that solitude
drove him crazy, after which he lost
much of his resemblance to the hu
man race by living wild.
