A DINE NOVEL ADVENTURE IN New STYLE.
will Tucker and Add Hit, two Louisville,
KY, boys, got their desire for adventure in
the common way. by reading the literature OF
Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack but their choice
of a field was unusual, for they decided to go
South instead of West. They had very little
money and here they again departed from
precedent for they did not start out hope
fully afoot, like the boys we frequently read
of. They could just pay for single ticket
to Alabama, and they decided that one should
travel as a regular passenger while the other
rode in the trunk as baggage. The toss of a
coin settled that Hit should go in the trunk
bottle of water and some bread were put in
with him, and several holes were bored to
supply him with air. Friday evening Tuck
er drove to the railroad station in hack,
checked bis trunk and settled himself down
comfortably in the seat of q first-class car.
But all did not go well with Hit He was
tumbled roughly into the baggage car, and
left standing on his head Other trunks were
piled on his, nearly closing the air holes
When almost smothered he let out his re-
naming breath in yell for help. The lid
was broken. The contents had lost his de-
sire TO roam. He confessed, and, with Tuck
or, was sent home.

Oysters as Brain Food.

According to Mr.. Frank Buckland great
deal has to be said in Psychological point of
view in favor of the oyster as an article Of
food. There is an average of about two and
half ounces Of meat to every twelve ounces
Of shell in each oyster, and its constituents
include much phosphate of iron and osmazone
or creative matter, similar TO essence of meat
and also certain quantity of gelatine or inu-
cilaginous matter, and another material of
which phosphorus is the main ingredient 1t
is the principle brain-giving food that can be
taken, and hence is so largely used by those
fond of literary pursuits, and in this manner
has become an almost essential element of
diet to intellectual men. The annals Of the
University of Paris shadow forth that, when
the scholastic disputations were more than
usually rife and boisterous tho students were
in the habit of rehearsng their debates over
oyster suppers. Louis VIII, who died in
1926, loved oysters 30 WE'LL and thought SO
much of his cook for the savory manner in
which he furnished them up for the royal ta
BILE, that he invested the cLef de cuisine with
patent of nobility, and made him hand
some annual allowance.

He COULDN'T HELP IT.-There was anoth-
or case yesterday of boy who couldn't help
it. A prominent and dignifed citizen was
looking through the third story window of a
block on jefferson avenue, which he had
thoughts of renting, when the idea suddenly
struck him to look into the alley in the rear.
He raised the sash of window and peered
out upon ash boxes, coal-seuttles and barrels
of straw without number, and was about to
close his observations when the sash came
down with thud and struck him behind his
shoulders. In his fright he fell to his knees,
and while the solid half of his body was all
right, the lighter was over the window-sill.
In addition to the weight of the sash any
movement of the body was accompanied with
pain. The sash could not be reached with
his hands freely enough to lift it, and it soon
occurred to the prominent citizen that he
ought to have help. He could not expect it
from behind, for he was alone in the store,
but as he looked down into the alley boy
came stumping along to find something
worth Juggling away.
"Hello yourself !" replied the boy as he
looked up.
Say, boy, come under the window here !;
want to speak to you"
"Not much, yer don't" chuokled the gam
in. "You can't drop no coal-scuttles on my
head"
"But don't mean to"
"Mebbe not, but you've got a bad face on
you for all that. When did you get out of

A Congressman has an excellent story to
tell at the expense of a postmaster who was his
companion during recent political speech
making tour in Nevada. The stage in which
they left Pizen Switch, Mason Valley, was
crowded Among the passengers were a lady
and a little girl. The child was so small that
her feet did not reach the floor of the coach,
and she presently became very tired and rest
less. Observing this, Mr.. Daggett told the
mother that the child would be much more
comfortable if she had some support for her
feet, and at the same time informed her that
under the seat was valise that she could
draw out which would be just the thing. The
lady reached under the seat, and began tug
ging away at what she supposed to be a va
lise. Cant you get it out?' inquired Mr..
Daggett. NO" replied the lady "it don't
seem to come, though might get it if 1 could
find the handles" Here Postmaster Adkin-
son aroused from doze and said "Why,
my dear madam, you have got hold of my
foot !"

A farmer who had been to market in Phila-
delphia fell asleep while he was driving home.
His horses knew the road, and Travelled safely
until they reached the railroad crossing at
Belfry. A train was approaching and al
though the engineer, who saw the market
wagon, blew his whistle, applied the brake
and rang his bell, he was unable either to
stop the train or to arouse the sleeping farm
er. The horses were already across the track
when the collision occurred, the cow-catcher
of the engine striking the wagon, tearing of
the running gear, and throwing the hind axle
aud wheels about thirty feet to the side of the
road. One wheel was wrecked, while the
other was not injured. The wagon was turn
ed upside down, while the horses breaking
loose, ran a considerable distance before they
were caught. The farmer awoke. He was
thrown out, but not much injured. As he
gathered himself up and stared in bewilder-
ment at the wreck, his first exclamation was
"What mashed that wagon up that way 2"

Capt. Eads jetties have had remarkable
effect on the commerce of the Mississippi
valley. Since January 1st st. Louis has ship
ped to Europe twice as much grain by way of
New Orleans as passed out of the country by
that route in the corresponding period of last
year. 1t is said that the shipments are at
present limited by the want of barges, ETC.,
with which to move the grain, and heets of
boats are being built to supply this want.
The crop to be moved is so great this year
that, in spite of the increase in shipments by
water from St. Louis, the railroads eastward
have been doing an immense business at pay
ing rates. The prosperity Of the country is
based on the sure foundation of an enormous
crop, for which there is paying market.

The turkey ia an emblem,

We do not think Of angels
When we measure up his wings,
But there's very much that's human
In the way the fellow fares,
And, IL you will but listen,
IN tell you how he shares
Tho luck Of taller bipeds

And whose uaefulhesS and trouble
Together come, you know.
'Tia not when he is walking

As II he were president,
Or thought he owned the town,
That we estsem him highest
Or BpeAk the loudest word
OF praise and commendation
For the proud and lordly bird.
But when they stop his gobble,
And pull his feathers out,
And nll him full Of bitterness,
Aud elothe him round about
With nres Of persecution
That melt his grandeur down,
And bring his fair complexion
To . shade Of ruaset brown.
Thus, whom he cannot help himself,
But lifts q stumpy leg,
As II he gave the matter up
And only cared to beg;
Then 10 II that his virtues

The cares that fret the morning
Have faded with the sun;
And in the tender twilight

With my darling little baby
Asleep upon my breast.

Holds mAmma's fingers tight,
And, in their soft white wrappings,
At last in perfect rest,
Two dainty feet are cuddled,
Like brides in a nest.

Renew their holy power;

Our motherhood has blest,
Is near to every woman
