An incident occurred recently at the
Roosevelt street ferry Office which Illus
trates how n man can make another's
life miserable with little exertion. One
evening the collector showed out to a
passenger thirty-two three cent pieces
and n cent in exchange for q dollar,
after ~deducting the fare, which was
three cents. The collector grinned and
thought he had played n good joke on
b passenger, who took the money
without a protest, but made up his mind
to get even with the joker if possible.
He thought hard for three days, and at
last hit on a scheme. Sharpening the
end of a file he nicked one side of each
three cents.
Every morning and evening in going
to and from his work he placed a three
cent piece in the palm of his hand and
slapped it firmly down in front of the
collector. At these times there was al.
ways a rush. In his hurry the collector
tried to slide the money along with the
tips of his fingers, but it stuck fast.
Then he resorted to his finger nails, NUT
tering blessings on the head of the man
who annoyed him. This was kept up
for thirty-two days until the nickel
pieces were all exhausted. But sven to
this day the collector always picks up a
three cent piece with his finger nails, SO
strong has the habit become.-Ernest
Jarrold in New York journal.

Ex-State Senator Joel Moody, of Linn
county, located in Kansas in 1857, and
has rarely been out of the state since.
Speaking of drought, he says that in
1850 Kansas had a drought by the side Of
which this year was good. It quit rain

commence again until the following
September. The winds were 80 hot as
to cook eggs before the hens could lay

Kansas. The next season was exactly

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. l6.-At 9 a. m.
a telephone message from the hospital
says that Chief Hennessey is sinking rap
idly. The tragedy was one Of which the
chief aud his most intimate friends re-
garded within the range of probability for
some years, and for Two or three years he
has always been accompanied by some
trusty friend on his way home. Last
night he walked to the door of his resi-
dence, and, pausing a moment to draw
the latch-key from his pocket, turned
into the doorway. 1t was while in this
position, his side turned tovar1 his
assassins. that the first W shots (the
weapons being double-barreled shotguns,
and one barrel of each being fred at a
time) rang out. As quickly as the am
pushed men could cock their runs the
second barrel was fired. The chief drew
his revolver and returned the fre, but the
assassins escaped before the ponce ar
rived, and it is not known whether he hit
any of them.
Chief Hennessey died at 10 o'clock
this morning.

Several weeks ago a COW owned by a
well known gentleman employed in the
lower shops of Altoona, Pa, met with q
mishap. The animal was turned out of
the stable for exercise, but in a short
time she was attacked by several dogs.
They succeeded in getting hold of her
tail, and almost tore it ont of the socket,
only n short stub remaining. The ami
NAL was seriously disigured, and the
owner conceived a novel idea of fixing
her up. He visited a slaughter house
near by and secured a new tail and
started for his home. happy over his
scheme to save his pet animal from un-
favorable comment.
He secured the necessary tools and set
to work. The stub and new piece were
carefully worked out into a good job of
dovetailing. He placed the ends to-
gether and they fitted like a charm. The
joint was wrapped and tied with a heavy
string.
All worked well for a few days, bot
the other morning he took the animal
out for a stroll, met n crowd of friends
and stopped to explain his patent. His
achievement was simply wonderful to
his hearers. But a moment later his
labor and idea were a thing Of the past.
A large horsehy made its appearance
and perched upon the animals back.
The stub commenced to work and the
new end was thrown in the direction of
the pest Then it became detached and
landed around the neck of the inventor.
He pleaded with his friends to keep the
matter quiet, but it leaked out, and now
