no single author in the language from
whose works, however voluminous SO

certainly many more than one-half
that are only employed. if they are
employed at all, on the rarest occasions.

Der of words we manage to express all
that we have to say, either with our

ten thousand words; our common spoken

SAVING BABY'S LIFE.
a Carrier Pigeon utilized to Send for the

An incident occurred recently in the
family of G.. +. Marsh. the dealer in
Japanese curiosities at No. $50 Market
street and member of the Pacific
coast pigeon society, says the San
Francisco Examiner. which proved to
him in most impressive manner the
valuable services which may some
times be rendered by the carrier pig
con, and probably explains some of
his enthusiasm in that direction.
His little baby boy was taken sud

symptoms OF diphtheria. The mother.

one, dispatched message tied on q
carrier pigeon TO her husband at his
store on Market street. In the mes
sage she wrote the nature OF the child S
alarming illness and made an urgent
appeal for medicine to save its life.
The bird was started from the home
OF the family near the Cliff House, five
miles from Mr.. Marsh's Market street
store.
The bird flew swiftly to the store,
where Mr.. Marsh received it. He
read the message. called "a doctor, ex
planned the child's symptoms as his
wife had detailed them in her message
and received the proper medicine,
then tying the little vial containing
the precious medicine to the tail of
the pigeon, he let ii go.
The pigeon sped away through the
air. straight for tho Cliff. 1t made
the distance-fiv miles-in ten min
utes a distance which would have re-
CURED the doctor three-quarters OF an
hour to cover.
In twenty minutes from the time the
mothers message was sent TO her hus-
band the baby was taking the medi-
cine. and thus It's life was saved.
Naturally enough Mr.. Marsh is par
tial to pigeons for he considers that
he owes his baby's life to one.

Tripping Up a Thief.

A big, burly but not overnight

ceny of gold watch in New York.
He had not been caught in the act,
but was recognized few days after
the theft by the gentleman who claim
ed to have been robbed. On being
searched pawn ticket for watch
was found. The gentleman identified
the watch as his.
In the prisoners defense the claim
was made that it was case of mistak-
en- identity and that the pawned
watch was his own property. Several
witnesses were introduced who testi-
fed that they had seen watch SIM

and endeavored to prove an abb.
He declared that he had owned the
watch for at least five years before his
arrest, and the case for the people
was getting shaky.
On cross-examination, Col. O'Byrne
the prosecuting attorney, drew the
prisoners mind away from the watch,
which was concealed from view, and
then, recurring to it, asked him how
often he had been in the habit OF
winding it. He answered glibly

"Well, how would you wind it-from
right to left ?"
The fellow grinned at the idea and
answered mo, from left to right"
"Well,' said O'Byrne, handing him
the watch and the key, "show the jury
how you wound it up"
Unsuspecting the witness took the
watch and key, turned to the jury
with confident smile, opened the
back case and sought to fit the key
into the hole-but the watch was a
