HOW A WOMAN IDENTIFIED.


A few days ago a man called at house on Fort
Street east and asked for bite to eat He was
refused and shortly after he left aclOak was miss
Ing from the hall.tree. The police were notified
and the other.day when they arrested a man on
suspiscIon, they sent for the womanto come down
to the City Hall to identify him. When she was
asked If she was certain that she could identify
the man who had called, she somewhat indig-
nantly replied: Identify him Why could pick
him out among ten thousand
She was then confronted with the prisoner She
gave him good looking over and called out
oh you can't fool me You have had your
hair dyed from black to red since you asked for
pancakes, but Id know you II Isaw you In Tex

The captain here observed that he never heard
OF black hair being dyed red and after brief
examination he asserted that the prisoners hair
had not been dyed at all.
Well 1 may possibly be mistaken about his
hair said the woman but I'd swear to that over.

steps, and know It's the coat and the man.

the top was missing
The captain informed her that 1t was an over
coat that he had borrowed within the hour and
had asked the prisoner to slip on. The woman
wouldn't give in for some time, but finally said:
We'll, l might have been mistaken, but look
square into his eyes, and Bnow this is the man.
'Whatcoor did you say his eyes werer
Blue, sir, light blue
But this mans eyes are black-coal black
So they we're. The woman was dumb with as
tonshment for time, but finally rallied and
said

ANOTHER GOOD BOY.

A Detroit grocer was the other day hungrily
waiting for his clerk to return from dinner and
give him q chance at his own MONDAY meal,
when boy came into the store with basket In
his hand and said;
"I seed boy grab up this ere basket from the
door and run, and run after him and made him
give It up"
my lad, you are an honest boy"
"Yes, SIR"
"And you look like good boy"
"Yes, SIR"
"And good boys should always be encouraged
In o box In the back room there are eight dozen
eggs. You may take them home to your mother
and keep the basket"
The grocer had been saving those eggs for days
and weeks to reward some one. In rewarding
good boy he also got eight dozen bad eggs car
rled out OF the neighborhood free Of cost, and he
chuckled little chuck as he walked homeWard'
The afternoon wsned night came and went
and once more the grocer went to his dinner,
When he returned he was picking his teeth and
wearing complaoent smile. His eye caught a
basket OF eight dozen eggs as he entered the store
and he querled: "Been buying some eggs"
"Yes; got hold Of these from a farmers boy"
replied the clerk.
"A lame boy with blue cap onT
ayes"
1.-TWO mont teeth QUIT"
"Yes."
The grocer sat down and examined the eggs
| The shells had been washed clean, but they were
the same that good boy had luggod home the
day before,

Over and over again.

Must do their part, and perform II all

WORDS OF WISDOM.


1t matters not how man believes, but how
he lives.
Expect nothing from him who promises great
deal.
Books are but white paper, unless men spend In
action the wisdom they get from thought.
Truth is eclipsed often, and 1t sets for night
but never It turned aside from Its eternal path.
Features alone do not run in the blood; vices
and virtues, genius and folly, cheerful and mel
InchOly tempers are transmitted through the
same sure but unseen channel.
Our passions act as the winds which propel the
vessel our reason is the pilot that steers her.
Without the winds she would not move; without
the pilot she would be lost.
No river runs straight to the sea,
For mountains intervene,
To turn from useless course,
And make the meadows green.
So in our lives we go not tstraight
But turned by Truths own will,
We touch the soil OF other lives
To make the world less i'll.
No man, for any considerable period, can wear
one face to himself and another to the multitude
without finally getting bswildered as to which
way be true.
"And as the child whom soaring sounds molest
Clings close and closer to It's mothers breast,
so the loud torrent and the whirlwinds roar
But binds him to his native mountains more

THE HIGHLAND TARTAN.

Dear TO each Highland soldiers heart
The Tartan Of his clan,
Symbol Of glory and Of pride
To every Highland man,
Whether he dwell mid Athole's hills,
Or where the winding Tay,
By Birnam's glens and forests fair,
To ocean wends It's way;
Or nearer to the northern Btar,
Where SHOWS the mountain crown,
And towering oyer silver lakes, .|
Stern peaks Of granite trown.
In every country, far or near,
Where Highland men are known.
The Tartan plaid is greeted still
With homage all its own.
Still to the Plbroch's stirring strains
On many q foreign shore,
The Highland clans press nobly on
To victory, as Of yore,
True to traditions Of the past,
True to their ancient fame,
May Caledonia's children add
Fresh glorles to her name.
