JUST LIKE A MAN
A Lady Who Had Her Shoes ''Shined''
Before Breakfast

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock we'll

seen walking leisurely up 4th street looking
about as il in search Of something. Near the
curb in front Of the Metropolitan restaurant
was an empty chair. As soon the lady saw
this her eyes twinkled and her mouth broad
ened into q very perceptible smile. She made
. bee-line for the chair and sat down. This WAS
not all she wanted, for she began to cast qniek
glances in several directions Her eve at last
caught sight Of some small urchins playing in
front of the Globe Democrat Office.
Say, boy Come here; want you" shouted
the lady in high key
The kids made scamper for the caller and
the first one who reached her was told that she
wanted him TO shine her shoes.
AN right, boss; put mp your hoof," ex-
Claimed the sinner, forgetting the sex Of his
customer
The sight Of woman seated in chair on
the outer edge Of side walk having her shoes
polished was a novelty TO the ST. Louis male
population, and crowds began TO gather at
points not far distant. The lady paid no at
tention to the watchers and appeared as uncon-
cerned as If it was an everyday occurrence
with her, But it was fun for the unoccupied
bootblacks.
Hey there. Jimmiel have you Joined the

TWENTY DUNKARDs WITH AN r.
Teiegrapher's Blunder That Startled
and Mystified Station Agent.
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American
Last year party of twenty-five Dunkards
was en- route to the general conference via St.
Louis. No agent accompanied them, and a
telegram was sent to Union Depot Passenger
Agent Bonner to meet twenty Dunkards."
The religious education of the telegraph
operator who received the message had been
neglected. he had never heard of the Dunk
ards, and. supposing u mistake had been
made, he just inserted the letter IT" and when
Bonner received the message it read Meet
No. t. Twenty drunkards aboard Look after
them"
Bonner was somewhat taken aback. He did
not know but that an inebriate asylum had
broken loose. but any way prompt action was
necessary. The twenty drunkards must be
desperate men or the dispatch would not have
been sent, and murder might have been COM
mltted OH the road.
Bonner posted off to police headquarters and
his story did not lose i'll the telling. The chief
OF police. alive to the exigencies OF the situa-
ton, made special detail of ten policemen
and patrol wagon.
The policemen were drawn up in line at the
depot and intense excitement prevailed among
the numerous depot loungcrs. a rumor having
gained currency that desperate band of train
robbers was on the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived, but no party
of registering drunkards alighted. The party
on the train was composed of several pious-
looking gentlemen with broad brimmed hats,
who stood around as though expecting some
one.
Bonner approached one of them and said in
terrogatively:
Had any trouble on the road?'
NO. brother" said the gentleman, ''none
that know of. And now I'll ask you a ques-
ton: Do you know a gentleman named Bon
ner?''
Yes, / am Mr. Bonner" was the answer.
well, these brethren and myself are Dunk
ards and you were TO meet US and put US on
the right train. Didn't you get a telegram"
Bonner was completely done for. He ex-
cused himself, and calling the sergeant Of po-
lice aside. he told him that il was all u mistake
and he and his men could so back to head
quarters. Then lie disposed of his religious
friends, went around and cussed out the tele-
graph operator. after which he had TO set 'em
up" for the whole police force on the promise
to keep mum,

to the table. The articles to be put on it must
suit the individual taste of the owner and may
vary from the conventional toilet set to the odd
pieces that may suggest all sorts of travels, of
which they may be souvenirs. japanese or
Siamese wooden bowls are sometimes seen
doing duty as wash basins. while a South Amer
lean water bottle takes the place of pitcher and
all the small pieces in Use are equally dlversi-
fed as to origin. II is a positive luxury to have
SO much space for the bathing utensils, and
such washstand set in a small room seems
actually to add size to the apartment ITSELF
while contracted little washstand dwarfs the
room according to the Inconvenience felt.

That Was Different.

From the Detroit Free Press
A Detroiter drove up to livery stable the
other day and said to the proprietor, who stood
at the door:
II am going away, and I've got . horse
here
(Which you want to sell? It's bad time O.
year to sell horses, and never knew prices to
rule SO low"
"As am going away thought it would be
best to-"
"WeL. I'll make you an offer, but it will be
low one. He's knee-sprung, his sight is of
and he's all of fifteen years old. I'll give you
$50 and take my chances"
"Oh, you mistake me. l want you to board
him for me for a couple Of months"
'Oh-h-h, that's it. or course. Fine
young animal, and worth $3.50 Of any mans
money. Lead him right in. Eighteen dollars
per month and the best care guaranteed"

No Crime in Helixoland.

From the London Daily News.
That there Is practically no such thing as
crime in Heligoland we have all heard, but it
has been reserved for writer in Blackwood to
tell us why this is. 1t is, we learn, the newt
able result Of living upon so small an island
Even conduct Of any seriously improper kind
is practically impossible where everybody
knows everybody elses doings and position
since for those who transgress the rules OF So
cial decorum there is but one course open.
This is self-banishment and to leave He'll
goand forever is to its sons more
bitter than death. As to crime Of the
graver sort, every would-be criminal
knows that he cannot possibly escape from this
tiny speck in the North sea except with the
connlvance of the whole population. Last year
two housebreakers from Hamburg ventured to
come ACROSS on professional visit They had
highly successful evenings work. Every
door stood open. They had only to watch
when no one was by, step boldly in and carry
away what they cared for. They got altogether
a very handsome booty. But they had forgot
ten one important detaIl-there was no steamer
leaving Heligoland the following day till 2
o'clock. Long ere then the thefts had been
discovered. the robbers lodged in prison and
the stolen property restored to its owners. So
the Heligolanders are honest whether they
like it or not.

They Found the Bear at Last.

From the San Francisco Call
Away up in the mountains in the northern
part Of Del Norte county the predatory visits of
large black bear to the hog ranches elected
about as much squealing among the owners Of
the land as they did from the kidnapped pigs.
While the trouble was almost unbearable
David Tucker. a commission merchant of this
city, travelled into those parts He had with
him Winchester repeating rifle that carried q
ball especially adapted for the destruction of
life in large black bears. and he organized
party to hunt the hog thief to death.
Joseph Morrison and Edward Murray, q
plucky shepherd dog and German deer
hound followed Tucker up the deep canyon for
about nine miles one day. and only stopped to
rest when they reached dense forest Of tall
trees, where the ground was covered with q
thick underground. Dave concluded that the
bear was behind the scenes. and sent the dogs
III to reconnoiter. In few minutes the collie
came out like rocket and yelled for sympa-
thy. as it showed badly torn hip from the
claws of the disturbed animal. Another min
ute had not gone by ere the deer hound
emerged with precipitation. and only stopped
to join company with its allies.
The bear followed the dogs with mad haste
growing ferociously over their temerity in in
vadlng her home, for it was a female bear, but
the growing was changed to fierce grunts as
she caught sight of the hunters. Brun raised
on her hind legs and bore down upon her

challenged fight to the finish Dave fired a
ball into her breast near the shoulder, but
without causing the brute to even wink. He
pumped another cartridge from the magazine
and sent 1t tearing through the anatomy of the
monster, with us little effect its predecessor.
Then he commenced to retreat cautiously while
he worked another cartridge into place, and
this time made the bullet plough into the bear
groin.
The bear was within forty feet Of him and
began to assume the proportions of mountain
20 his widening eyes. Joe and Ed were on
either side of the battle ground and handi-
capped by some bushes. At the doubtful mo-
ment Ed sighted the head of the animal and
Immediately emptied two big loads of buck
shot from his double-barreled shotgun, tearing
away the side of her head and topping the
animal over in hurry. The boys saw that the
bear had been sucking her young, so they
waited a few minutes until her two cubs came
out from the thicket In quest of the mother.
1t was only the work of few minutes to
larlat the youngsters and then they dragged
their game to the ranch. The bear was very
fat and weighed 800 pounds when dressed. The
cubs were about two weeks old when caught
and were kept for three months on bread and
milk. They were brought to the city yesterday
and are now in n commission house in Sansome
street. They are docile, plump and a curiosity
to many visitors. Mr.. Tucker has a standing
offer of $50 for them from the Native Sons Of
the Golden West, but $500 will have to come
out Of the funds of that organization il the
cubs will form feature in the parade on ad-
mission day.

On the Bridge of Debts.

FROM the fouths Companion.
The "credit SYSTEM" as it is ordinarily
known nowadays, appears to belong to an ad-
vanced state Of society and to be impracticable
under simple conditions Of life, but it is in use,
nevertheless, in some very primitive commu-
mites. In the valley of Possey. in the Austrian
Tyrol, where the Alpine inhabitants lead a simple
life. practically all business and work is con-
Quoted on credit subject to an annual settle
ment On q certain day in winter the inhab-
Nants OF tho valley meet at the bridge of ST.
Leonard's, place which is convenient to all,
and the day is spent in balancing accounts.
The first business in order at these meetings
Is the payment OF debts. Every one pays what
he owes. Some depend upon what they COL
lect to meet debts owed to Others but the in
habitants Of Possey are thrifty and honest, and
there is usually money enough to 90 around
The bridge Of st. Leonard's, in other words, is
the clearing house Of the valley Of Possey.
After the debts are paid, contracts are en-
tered into for the next year. Labor engages
itself, and the farmers crops are often bar
gained for in advance. If any debtor fails to
appear at the bridge and meet his dues on this
''squaring-up" day he is practically cut off
from further dealings with the other inhab-
itants Of the valley. No more credit is al

establish himself in the goodwill of his fell
lows by paying his debts as soon as he possibly
can. To be able to hold up ones head on the
There is a tradition in the Tyrol that once,
long time ago, after year Of scarcity and
disaster, the inhabitants of the valley Of Pos
sey met at st. Leonard's bridge. Each one
owed some one else and each one was owed by
some one else. Consequently each depended
upon being paid by his neighbor who owed
him, in order to be able to pay his neighbor
whom he owed. But no one appeared to
have any money no ones debt could be paid
The people stood around in despair, until
presently q well-to-do miller, who was known
to have money, arrived.
"Good!' said Hans Melchior, the tailor.
"Here is Wilhelm Gutpfennig. He will start

PETER, the weaver, passed it on to discharge
his obligation to another citizen, and SO il went
from hand to hand, discharging the very mod
crate debts of the Possey inhabitants until it
came to the last man, who happened to owe
Hans Melchior just 40 thalers. He paid it, of
course, and with it Melchior at once settled his
debt to Gutpfennig the miller.

From the Detroit Free Press-
IA man stood in doorway on Jefferson avenue
at 10 o'clock at night putting at cigar. Along
came second man with an unlighted cigar,
and he halted and asked: "Give me q light
please?" Certainly" was the reply. The
smoker then took from his vest pocket match
and from his coat pocket candle wrapped in
paper. He struck the match, lighted the
candle and then, taking paper from another
pocket, he lighted it at the fame of the candle
and held 1t out, saying: Certainly, sir; always
willing to oblige." The other looked at the
match, the candle and the paper in unfeigued
astonishment for moment and then drew
back, pocketed his cigar and passed on, with
the remark: Much obliged, but you are too

The Duke Of Brunswick's Wealth.

Paris Correspondence of the London Telegraph.
Geneva became the universal legatee of
Charles II, Duke of Brunswick on his death
some years ago. This arrangement is con-
tested by the Vicomte de Civry, and the
affair has come before the civil tribunal of
the Seine. The vcomte maintains that the
German law courts have recognized him as
"a grandson OF the duke through his mother,
Elizabeth Wilhelmina, Countess of Colmar and
Blankenburg, and he accordingly claims his
share Of the heritage and asks that the will be
declared null and void on the ground that the
old Duke OF Brunswick was not a responsible
agent when he drew it up. The civil tribunal
of the Seine has pronounced first judgment
by default. 1t will be opposed by the munich
paiity Of Geneva, which contends that the
French law courts have no authority in the
matter.
