A Practical Joker has Some Fun.

Nothing gives Major Louis Auer
pleasure than to play practical joke,
as long as the latter is perfectly harm
less. He is quicker than lightning
when it comes to taking in situation,
and if he finds an opening he will play
it for all it is worth. Among other
things that Louis is noted for is his
fondness for bathing, and he can be
seen lodging into his favorite Turkish
bath establishment at most any time
Of the day. Louis is extremely dark
complexioned by nature, and continual
exposure to the sun at his country
cottage has not helped to bleach his
skin to any great extent; in fact, he is
about four shades darker than some
men who claim distant relationship
to Ham. 1t was this little oddity in
his complexion that gave him beauti-
full chance to get in his deadly work
on total stranger up at the Turkish
bath place, and he didn't let it escape.
Entering the rooms the other day he
was accosted by parboiled stranger
who had just come out of the hot
room. The man mistook Louis for one
of the colored rubbers, and, going up
to him, said:
well, sir, I am ready"
Louis caught on instantly, bowed
politely, and said:
"Ies, sah-yes, sab; ies' one mo-
ment, sab"
Hurriedly pulling off his coat he
donned an apron and grabbing hose
wet down the marble slab till it was
cold as an iceberg. Then turning to
the man with the words: "I'se ready,
sah," picked him up bodily in his
strong arms and laid him on the chilly
marble. They say that the yell the
man gave was something horrible
when his red-hot flesh struck the cold
slab, but Louis held him down, and
then the fun began. He is as strong
as a prize-fgh5er, and the way he
pounded, kneaded, and slapped the
poor devil was caution, but every
time he yelled the Major would give
him withering glance that scared the
man half to death. This thing was
kept up till the man implored with
tears in his eyes to be let off, and when
Louis did release him, he ran from the
room, put on his clothes, and told the
proprietor that one of his rubbers had
gone crazy.-PecRs Sun.

A Smart Old Man.

The Bowling Green (Ky.) Times
tells how the Postmaster at Roches-
ter, KY, who kept a small grocery,
made smart speculation with postage
stamps several years ago, when the
keepers of small offices were allowed
60 per cent. of the receipts for their
services. "The old man concluded he
would increase his stock, so he boarded
train for Louisville. and, going to
the wholesale grocery house of Cowles
& Co., said to Pleas Cowles: Iwant
to buy $1,000 worth of goods and pay
cash for them, provided you will let
me pay you in stamps The grocery
king reflected and concluded that
stamps were equivalent to the cash.
and, besides, he wanted the POST
masters trade, so he agreed to sell the
goods and take in payment $1,000
worth OF stamps. The Postmaster at
once ordered the stamps from Wash
ington, sending $4O0 for the payment
of them, of course having deducted his
60 per cent. The Postmaster General
made kick, but the stamps had to
come under the contract which the
Rochester Postmaster had with the
Government. The old man made $500
and Mr.. Cowles sold $1,000 worth of
goods

His Well Runs Gold and Silver.

There is wonderful well down near
Del Norte. It is an artesian well with
an abundant flow of pure water, suf-
ficient to irrigate a considerable
amount of land. That would be enough
for any one but San Luis man. But
this is mineral water. 1t is efferves-
cent, very palatable, and extremely
healthful. Nor is this all; the TO, of
the water brings up from the d., this
an occasional lump of native silver or
gold nugget. The frugal farmer has
placed sack OF wire netting over the
mouth of the well to catch the metal
and prevent it from choking the cows.
Local scientists claim that at a great
depth and under enormous pressure,
the water is washing away ledge of
rock, whose softer parts 60 into solu-
ton, and give the water its mineral
qualities, but whose gold and silver,

AT last the world is becoming too
small to afford a hiding place to de-
faulters and criminals. Two years ago,
bank messenger in New York stole a
package of bank notes worth forty-ons
thousand dollars. He cunningly kept
on with his work for year, and then
removed with his stolen money to Hon
durss, where he lived quietly and in
much confidence, because there is no
eztradition treaty between Honduras
and the United States; but all this
time q detective was shadowing him,
and finally got the money from him,
and will probably get the man. Last
year a thief was arrested in South
America eight years after the commits
sion of a robbery IN the United States.
There is now secret understanding
among the police authorities and detec-
tive agencies over the greater part of
the globe. They assist one another in
such ways as to renderit all but i'm
possible for criminal to escape, into
whatever part of the earth he may 60.

RattIesnakes ana Big Jaw in Cattle.

Rattlesnakes and Big Jaw in Cattle.
A. l.. Mason. who is now a large
ranch-owner and who has for several
years been largely interested in the
cattle business, stated to-day that he
had theory concerning big jaw in
cattle different from those usually ad.
vanced. His idea was that big jaw
was caused by rattlesnake bite. He
had noted for years that when he kept
his cattle in a place infested by snakes
of this description, there were always
big-jawed cattle in considerable num-
ber.
When they were removed to place
where there were no snakes, new cases
of big jaw did not appear. The posi-
tion of the protuberance or lump as it
is called, on the animals lower jaw
did not appear. The position of the
animals lower jaw, approximately in
the same position in each case, indi-
Gates, he holds, that the animal had
been bitten while eating grass. Med
ical men state that the only thing that
cannot be readily explained is that rat
tlesnake poison, which is venom of
the most pronounced character, should
act as q virus.-KdnSdS City Star.

The highest court of the United
States holds unique place in forms of
government, and one not found in any
other governmental sysem. 1t wields q
power greater than is exercised by any
other judicial tribunal in the world. In
no country Of Europe or the East has
any court authority to limit the pre-
negatives Of the sovereign. to control
the powers Of the Legislature, to shape
the form Of government. These func-
tions are exercised by the Supreme
Court of the United States. It holds 6
power above that of the chief magis
trate of the nation, superior to that O.
Congress, higher than that of any State
and equalled only by that which made
or can amend the Constitution. It can
change the relations between the State
and the nation. It can extend or re-
strict either the central power or State
sovereignty. In short, it can make OF
unmake the constitutional law of the
country.

Old Bravo, the Newfoundland, had
reached the land, and turned to look
at his old enemy. He saw plainly that
his strength was failing, and that he
was likely to drown. So what should
he do but plunge in. seize him gently
by the collar, and, keeping his nose
above water, tow him safely into port.
It was curious to see the dogs look
at each other as they shook their wet
coats. Their glances said, plainly as
words, "We will never quarrel any
more" - North Carolina Pres5y-

An old mill crushes the berry, while O
new mill cuts it. The crushing of the
