"As much as—the deserves," 1 concluded, with admirable adroitness. I thought I detected a transient glimpse of the dimples, which I rank high among Barba;a't choicest gifts. But 1 aouldn’t lie certain. One can't be too uncertain with women. It’a the only safeguard a poor man possesses against the wiles of the sex. > "If I might dare to suggest such a thing, there’s the lake. Also I know where, hr a curious chance, a skiff lies hidden, like Moses In the bulrushes. Msy"— I waved mv baml comptehcnslvely In the direction of the water. Barbara hesitated.

You ran not have ro- course t»> itersonnl violence without endan gering your own safety. Consequently, oue never exceeds the limits of parliamentary debates." Barbara graciously permitted me to help her to rise. When she had readjusted her hat. and said that she would never speak to raa itgiiln. she asked uie If she looked "all right." I explained, In carefully chosen language, that such a term was quite In adequate to expreaa the potentialities of her np|H*arance. hut I hoped to convey It etilfably on a future occasion. Finally we took our botit. and In a few minutes were gilding over the surface of the placid Inke. "We have the water all to ourselves this afternoon."

From The flan Francisco Chronicle. Nobody known his name, yet every body In Kennewick, Wafih., la acquaint ed with him. "Irish Tim" Is the name by which he annwera when asked to have a drink; but there are few bar tenders In Kennewick who will now consent to servo him unless a chain la Brat fastened to the glan.a for Tim hnn a penchant for eating such delica cies nn beer bottles, tumbler* and other gianny receptacle* In which the In ebriating beverages are dispensed. Tltn la a stalwart fellow, and a veri table giant, 6 feet 6 Inches tall, heavy In proportion, with great, broad, pow erful shoulders that look as though they could furnish a force sufficient to put several Jim Jeffries out of busi ness without the least exertion. Tim only wears a No. 14 shoe, spe cially made to order, and has a hand big enough to cover an ordinary saucer. He Is perhaps the strongest man In the West outside of n circus, nnd he at tributes hi* marvelous strength to the i fact thut he ha* eaten gloss ever since a small boy In Ireland. When Irish Tim made his appearance In Kennewick he caused the natives to Imnglne suddenly that they had all gone entsy, and were "seeln' things." The first extraordinary thing the big fellmv did was to go into a grocery store nnd purchase a half dogen glass tumbler*. Then he strolled leisurely out to the curb of the nlnnlc sidewalk, sat down, opened up the bundle, nnd proceeded to devour the glasses much ns a schoolboy devours his noonday lunch. A good-sized crowd had soon accumulated, and. of course, everybody thought at first that he was working off h little of Hermann legerdemain. Hut Tim sat there as Indifferent to their gnxe and crltclsms as an as- . tronoiner to the maneuvers of an nnt ! colony. When he had devoured the' last of the six tumblers he nrns* slow- j ly, smacked his lips, looked around to ! see that he had left no scrap* and | sauntered Into a nearby saloon In search of u "chaser." Of course, the Imrtender wouldn’t accept payment I from a man who could draw such n large crowd as Tim had done, so the big fellow got his drink for nothing. ' But when the fellow behind the bar ! cast his eye around for the whlsky glass, It had followed the chaser. Tltn waa cracking up the last bit of It be tween Ills teeth, nnd swallowing It In morsels that were evidently sweet. "That’s the l;lnd of glass." said Tim. "that makes me think of home. Over In the grocery store, there, all they had was them big tumblers. Sure, and they’re a bit hard on your gums. but. then, I’ve eaten so much glass that I f seldom cut myself." he added, smiling. I ’•Y4H1 sec. I started In when I was Just ' a sprawlin’ brat over In the old coun- I try. I used to steal my mother’s Jelly j and Jam. nnd then eat up the glasses I to make her think somebody had' stolen the whole business. "Yes, I guess that's the way I got the hnblt. I recollect, when a kid, ant o’ the boys bet me it piece of money I couldn't eot a chunk o* glass, so I bet him on It. I ate a very small piece, and chewed It up carefully. Glass Is not hard stuff, and Is easily ground between the teeth If one la not afraid of it. Well, I won that bet. anyway, and for twenty-four hours awaited the results anxiously, fltrnnge as it may sound to some of you fellows, I had a ravenous appetite the next day, and found myself anxious to repeat the ex periment. 8o, after a whUe, 1 ate an- OO<HXIOOIB>OO0OOO0OCH>OOO0SOO < RAIN OF VOTES WILL DISPEL ALL HOT Am. “If It was raining loup I’d he out on a hillside with a three, tlned fork,” aald the man with the hard luck atory..
