The Tables Turned.

Boys are always trying to invent schemes
to get pocket money. / have n story of a
sad miscarriage of scheme that is rather
funny, | think. A certain rich man here
has a son who has not the knack of keep
ing money, and his demands on the fathers
purse get sometimes beyond the old gentle
mans patience. Then he lets him 90 hard
up. The son was in this quendary few
months ago, and he was at the seaside.
The fathers purse was mercilcssly closed
and the young man at his wits end. So
he went to good swimmer and arranged
with him plan to get some money. He
arranged TO get on the wharf and jump
off. lie was to pretend TO be drowning,
and the go swimmer was 10 jump in
after him and save him. This, he said,
would lead TO the saver obtaining a very
handsome reward from the father
Then they were To divide. The morning
came and the two men were on hand at
the beach. just as the scheming young
fellow reached the place, the old gentle
man appeared and beckoned to him.
Look here It's very fine, my boy,
hut II won't work. You can drown or DC
saved, but you don't get cent"
The truth was that the night before, the
young man, growing convivial, had con-
fidcd his scheme TO some of the boys.

Millions of Pheasant. In Oregon.

About six weeks ago the experiment OF
stocking Oregon with Chinese pheasant'
was tried. a number of these beautiful
birds were imported from China and they
were turned out in Lane county. At the
same time IA law was passed protecting
foreign game for IL term of ten years The
success of the venture now appears TO b,
unprecedented. The hen birds raise two
big broodS every year, and never lose {
chick. The result has been that the birds
have increased 10 marvellous numbers. i
is said that there are thousands Of them In
Willamette Valley and that they destroy
so much wheat that the farmers will AT
tempt to have the protective law repealed
this winter. If such is the case, the sports

He Didn'taSuicide.

The experience of the man In Paris who
attempted suicide by jumping from the
Arc dc Triomphe after taking q dose of
poison, and was caught by a projecting
spike and suspended In mid air for very
had quarter Of an hour. lends the color OF
truth TO n similar story, which is good
enough to be told again, II 1t is old. De-
termined to be rid of life, a man took a
dose of poison, put his neck into moose
fastened 10 scaffold on the edge OF the
cliff. held pistol TO his head, and rs he
jumped, pulled the trigger His theory
was that II the poison was not effectual,
the rope would be; II the rope broke tho
sea would swallow him, and there was
also the chance that the pistol would set
tic the business But the fates were
against him. AS he jumped off his aim
missed, and the bullet cut the rope; he fell
into the sea, but was rescued by passing
boat. while the water he had swallowed
acted as an emciic. the poison being re-
Scted, his life was saved.
