Twenty-Four Hours to Cool Off.

A drup'mer for a Chicago hardware
house tells this story, and of course, it
must be true one. He was on a train
down in Missouri, and when the red
headed brakeman called out, "Mexico!
Mexicor' a long-haired passenger ex-
citedly gathered his baggage together
and bolted from his seat, exclaiming:
Mexico, the devil! Why in the name
of the great red-hot ranch didn't you
let me off at Austin, Tex, as told you?
Do you take me for greaser from over
the Grande? l oughter fill your measly
skin full of holes. l oughter do it-I
oughter-" and here the long-haired
man rushed wildly from the train, leav-
ing blue streak of broad-horn oaths
behind him.
''Oh, that's all right" said the red
headed brakeman, as the passengers
gazed at him curiously; that's all
right. It's nothin' but another darned
fool of a Texan who got excited when
Mexico got called out. He'll git cooled
off by the time the next train comes
along at this hour tomorrow. l guess"

PULLED THE PRESIDENT OUT OF
RED

While his father was president young
John Ven Buren visited England, and, as
the son of the president of the United
States, he received great attention. He
dlned with the queen, who was then q
young girl, where his superior grace of
manners, fine conversational powers, and
witticisms made him appear to greater
advantage that the titled flunkeys who
rvere around her majesty. He attended
one of the balls at Buckingham palace
and danced with her, and the story was
told that her majesty became very sweet
on him; it was this incident that gave him
the cogromen of ''Prince John" There
was another story in circulation about
him which illustrates his want of special
reverence for his father The old gentle
| man and John had habit of lying in the
bed late in the morning. Finally one
day the former said to his son that
reform must be instituted-that both
must rise earlier. The hopeful agreed,
and suggested that the first one who got
up should go to the room of the other
and pull him out of bed! This was
agreed to John was out al tie
following night on "bum" and did not
reach home till next morning about 5.
He went to his fathers room and took
hold of him for the purpose of pulling
him out of bed. The old gentlemau pro-
tested against being disturbed, sayin he
had not had sufficient sleep. Look
here, governor, it was yoGr proposition
that we should institute reform in re-
gard to lying in bed so late. Here / am
at your request. and you won't fulfill
your part of the agreement Remember,
the one who got up first was to pull the
other out of bed. So now get up or I'll
pull you out." Tell it not in Gath!
This young scamp made the president of
the United States get up in spite of him.
self. After seeing the old gentleman
dress himself the rascal sneaked to his
own room and was soon in his bed asleep.
The story got out by John telling it on
his father to lot of boom companions.
John afterward became a famous lawyer
| aud politician. He was one of the most
eloquent speakers 1 ever heard.-Ueue-

A FRENCH FEMALE SOLDIER.

The grdade nation prides itself on it's
woman soldier, from Joan of Arc down.
ward. Here is one of the stories which
the Laternaediaire des Chercheurs pub
llshes as "reminiscences of the woman
who have fought in the French army.
The 18th regiment was ordered out on
May 2, 1903, near Libson, and lost the
colonel in the attack. Sergeant Ches-
quiere. seeing his superior lying beneath
his horse under large rug, said to his
comrades: "The body of colonel is the
flag which belongs to the regiment, ,and the
9th will keep its own." The three went
toward the spot where the wounded man
lay, but the two comrades were wounded
on their way, and remained behind,
Chesquire arrived alone; but weak as he
was, he tried in vain to take the colonel
on his shoulders. Two English officers
tried to prevent him. The sergeant,
grasping his gun, wounded his assailants.
made them both prisoners, and with
their aid brought the colonel, who still
breathed, into the camp. Chesquiere
had received slight wound in tie left
arm and was taken to his regiment.
Later on he was wounded in the chest
and brought before surgeon, but Ches-
qulre could not be persuaded to undergo
the operation in public. This yalorous
sergeant was woman named Virginie
Chesquiere, born at Delermont, near
Lille. AT the beginning of the year 1906
she had joined the army in the place of
her, twin brother who was of delicate
constitution, and to whom the hardships
of campaign would have been fatal.
She received decoration from the hands
of the colonel whom she had saved, and
left the army at the end of 1872.

HENRY DURAND, of Charleston, S. c..
has mocking- bird that is known from
Jacksonville to Boston. The bird is
probably the finest singer in the south,
He is not only fine singer, but a val
liable adjunct to a restaurant The bird
seems to know when the dining room is
filled with human tenants, and npon such
occasions he will open bis mouth and
imatate spring chicken. The imitation
is perfect, and unless someone happens
to spy the bird and point him out every
body will begin to look about for the
coop of spring chickens The bird gen.
orally keeps up the imitation until the
cry of the spring chicken so sharpens the
appetite of the tourists that they order
one. Out ofseason spring chicken comes
high, and when the tonrist has paid his
bill and gone the bird is given fresh
potato.

A Rabbit-Skin Scalp.

The surgeons at the Hartford city
hospital are making a curious expert
ment in their endeavors to renew the
scalp of Rosanna Flynn. Her scalp was
wholly torn off in Collingsville factory
last August. For months the engrafting
upon the Uranium of small pieces of hui
man skin has been in progress. the bits
not exceeding in size the dimensions of
a silver scent piece. Eventually the
hospital attendants became tired of con-
tributing these bits of skin from their
own persons, and especially as the wo-
man was so careless as to hinder the
progress of the work by striking her
head against objects. The physicians,
therefore, have resorted to bits of rabbit
skin instead of human cuticle, and with
fairly good success. The skin is built
up around the edges, and there is quite
an island, SO to speak, of mingled hui
man and rabbit skin on the top of the
head. The aim of the doctors is to unite
this with the edges below, and while
they anticipate success they don't look
for it under year at least.--Boston

John G. Saxe's Full Hand.

Did you ever on a railroad car OBJ
serve the many bits of pasteboard that
are thrust out at the conductors who
hesitate to punch them and hand them
back with an air that seems to say:
well, It's none of my business and
move on to anotherp That's the pass
and mighty useful thing it is where
the shekels are not redundant and the
ways are long. Lecturers, find it so es-
pecially, and Saxe-now old-once told
me one of his experiences that was very
amusing. He had passes on all the
railroads and steamboats, in the west,
he thought, but at one time he found
himself ON short road not down on
his chart upon which he had no ticket
AS the conductor came along he took
all his passes from his hand like deck
of playing cards. MIR. Conductor"
said he, ''do you play euchrePi Yes,
sometimes" ..Wel, what should you
say to hand like that?' Il should say
pass" and SAKE put up his cards as the
conductor passed laughingly along

Senators in Demand.

The card man at the senate reception
room tells me that Senator German has
about ten times as many callers as any
other man, and tries to see them all.
Mr.. Ingalls, comes next, because he is
the chairman of the district committee.
But he invariably sends out word that
he will be in his counting-room at the
close of the session. Gen. Logan gets
great many cards, and always tries to
see everybody. He spends a great deal
of his time in the marble room. Sena-
tor Voorhees, is also much sought after,
particularly by district people, and he
answers every call. Butler, of South
Carolina, and Blackburn receive calls
from more ladies than any of the other
senators, having the reputation of TAX
ing an interest in the welfare of the
weaker sex. Senator Blair is sought
after by all the cranks that come to
Washington, and is usually called for
by old ladies and short-haired maidens
of uncertain age and old-fashioned gar
ments. The cranks are also after Van
Wyck a good deal. Malone will not
receive card. He has given orders
that none she'll be brought to him under
any circumstances at any time, and has
instructed the doorkeepers to tell every
body that wants to see him to 90 up to
his committee and wait. Every
afternoon he holds levee there, taking
his visitors in Washington

A Love Thought.

IF thou vert only. love, tiny flower.
And l. butterfly with Saudy wings,
Fitting to changing scenes each changing
hour,
Careless of aught save that which pleasure
brings
Not even could leave the lowliest glade
That held thy loveliness within its shade.
If thou vert but a streamlet in the vale,
And / a sailor on the stormy sea,
Flying through whirling foam beneath the
gale,
Cbartess in all that wild immensity-
Thy murmuring voice would echo in my soul
Through bowling stof1H Oh crashing thunder
roll.
If. darling thou vert but far-off star.
And | weary wanderer DER the plain,
Unwitting of celestial worlds afar,
And knowing naught of all the shining
Ny glar ce would single out thy ray serene,
Though blazing suns and planets rolled be-
tween.
Yes. dear one, thou art these TO me- and more:
My flower, whose radiance passeth all decay,
My streamlet of sweet thoughts in endless
store,
My star, to guide my steps to perfect day:
My hope in earth's dark dungeon of despair;
My refuge mid life's weary MONDAY glare.

The conduct of James D. Fish and
Ferdinand Ward in prison is said by a
prison official, whose duties have taken
him to Auburn and to Sing-Sing, to
show marked difference. 'When Fish
entered the Auburn State Prison." said
this official, ''he looked the situation
squarely in the face, declared his will
ingness. to accept his fate, to live up to
the rules like man, and do everything
that was required of him. He had no
favors to ask. Wards course was
nearly the opposite. To be sure, he
talked willingness to accept the situa-
ton and make the most of it. But as
soon as the reporters had left him he
began to play the baby act. Fish took
his brown bread and black coffee like a
man. Ward complained of his food;
he must have delicacies. His stomach
could not stand prison fare, he whim-
pered. So he was allowed to write to his
wife to send him delicacies, and he has
kept writing in that line ever since.
Ward has been whimpering ever since
the prison doors closed upon him"

The Hiogo Ne,os says: Among the
shows a: Sannomlya there is one visit
to which is well worth the cent charged
for admission. 1t represents jigoku,
the Buddhist hell, and gives a vivid
idea of the tortures supposed to be un-
dergone in that place of torment The
figures represented move by machinery
and include selection of as terrifying
devils as ever were depicted in a temple
kakemono. One well-deyeloped devil is
weighing new arrivals at the gates in a
balance, and directs them to the right
or left-to heaven or hell-according as
they tip the scale or are found wanting.
The tortures inflicted on the wicked re-
ceive ample attention. The braying in
a mortar, pounding with an iron mace
(spiked), saving in two, and dragging
out of the entrai1s are all on view. The
most business-like earnestness is dis
played by the various figures, one green
devil being specially noticeable.
