story. at was the night Of the big fire he
began There were some places where peo-

Winding nm the Owl.

In one Of the BOwery museums, In a wire
cage, is a monster owl, with ewes as big as
five dollar gold pieces. A solemn looking man
wandered from the serpent's den to the owls
cage, and his eyes met those of the captive
bird. As he walked around the cage the big,
fiat eyes OF the owl remained fixed upon him
He kept on, and, while the claws of the bird
clutched the rod on which it perched, the eyes
neither winked nor waved Three times he
made the circuit Of the cage, keeping his ewes
fixed on those of the owl Then halted, still
eyeing the bird and perplexed look came
over his face. Again he started on, with
quicker step, and as often as he made the cir
cult of the cage he closed one finger of his
open hand. After he had doubled over seven
fingers an attendant in the museum came up
and asked him what it was all about
"Go way" said the man, without taking
his eyes from the owl, and he kept on around
till he had closed the other finger and both
thumbs. Then he halted, and, still keeping
his eyes fixed on those Of the owl, he said:
1--we walked around that owl ten times since
began counting, and three or four times be-
fore, and he hasn't taken his eyes off me yet,
nor let so the perch with his claws. He ought
to he pretty near wound up, hadn't her
The museum man thought the stranger was
a crank, and went OFF TO attend to some boys
who were pestering the monkeys.
With the observation that he could keep on
walking as long As the owl could keeping turn
ing his head around without letting go with
his claws, the stranger started on He made
eight or ten more circuits and then halted and
waited to see the owls head fly back like a
piece Of twisted india rubber. But the owls
eyes remained fastened upon him with placid
look.
We'll. that beats me" said the man, and he
disappeared down the stairway
What puzzled the man has been puzzle tc
naturalists also. One of the solutions is that
after each turn the owls head flies back SC
quickly that the human eve cannot detect the
movement.-New York Sun

4 DANGEROUS SURGICAL OPERATION.
A fatal mistake. At the time DR.. Vance,
of Cleveland, performed the operation on
the lady for tine removal of a cancer of the
stomach, he found, when too late, that the
poor woman had no cancer to be removed.
The disease was indigestion. and if sheIhad
taken the Shaker Extract of Roots (SiegerS
Syruy). that awful distress at the pit of the
stomach. which made the doctors think she
had cancer, would have been removed.
Distress after eating. dull, heavy feeling in
the head, with pains in the side and back
all vanish after using this wonderful rem
edy. The tired languid feeling gives place
TO strength and vigOr.
Mrs. Della Marsh writes from Pea Ridge,
Benton Co., Ark, that she had dyspepsia
in the worst form for five years, and that
nothing gave any relief until she used the
Siegel Syrup.

Lifting Jumbo's Foot" Under the

1t originated as follows:
One of Jumbo's tricks was the purloin-

Jumbo's foot;' meaning thereby TO help
them lift their notes. This phrase has

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off of revenue stamps from PrOprie-
tary Medicines, no doubt has largely bene-
fitted the consumers, as well as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with Green's august FLOlrcr
and BOschee'S German Syrup, as the re-
ductiOn of thirty-six sents per dozen. has
been added to increase the size Of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-fifth more medicine in the IS cent size.
The August FIOCer for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint and the German Syrup
for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps.
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size OF
the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted. in every town and village

ALMOST SUCCESSFUL.
A Bold Attempt by Prisoner, TO Escape
From Prison.

IPSWICH, Mass, Oct II.
There was trouble at the county house of
CORE ction today. 1t started in the contract
workshops after the prisoners had filed INTO
dinner. Keeper Hurd was away as were two
of the subkeepsrs. Mr.. Fales, keeper, and
Mr.. Pilling and Mr.. Hszeltine, bosses, were
present Two of the leaders sprang upon
Fales and threw him to the floor, possessing
themselves of his revolver which was held TO
his head. Pilling was pinned into the corner
and Hazeltine minus his coat and hat, rushed
out locking the door after him and started
for the police. The prisoners being unable
to find the keys could make but little use of
the short lived power as Iiazeltine soon re-
turned with Keeper Hurd and the police
The party entered with drawn revolyers and
under their cover the two leaders were Sc
cured. Keeper Fales was severely bruised
and cut about the head. This is the second
plot To escape within week and but for
Hazeltine's quick presence of mind at least
100 prisoners would have escaped The
leaders in this assault were Haines and Twist
of Salem.
