He Cooled Els Temper.

In western newspaper Office ten or dozen
years ago were two reporters says the Detroit
Free Press, one wiry, little. hottempered
cuss, the other great big, numbering, good
natured fellow whom the boys had lot of fun
with, participated also by the hot-tempered
chap. One day after some monkey business
about the Office Wiry resumed his labors and
was soon, as was his wont, engrossed in his
work. and that was not the time to disturb him
But the big fellow tossed paper ball at him
and it fell on his desk.
Don't do thati' he exclaimed angrily
The big fellow did il again with a chuckle.
Il tell you not TO do that stammered Wiry,
getting white with rage.
The big fellow laughed and threw another.
In an instant Wiry had caught up a two
pound paper weight from his desk, and. bind
with anger, hurled it at the other mans head.
1t whizzed by him near enough to raise the
hair, and almost buried itself in the plas-
tered wall at mis- back The narrow escape of
his intended victim seemed to cool Wiry and
he sat down at his desk and took up his pencil.
The big fellow hadn't said q word, but the good
nature had all gone out of his face. In about
ten minutes he got up, an l, going to the wash
room. came back gently with three gallon
wooden bucket filed with water. Very gently
he slipped up behind Wiry and poured 1t all
over him.
Why was on bis feet in a second, wilder than
ever, and dripping from head to heel
sit down" said the big fellow. quite good
needed cooking of. and that waterll do it just
right
Wiry had got bis eyes cleared by this time
and made break for his man
giving him whiri 81 couldn't kill You with
that water if I'd tried. but you would have
killed me with that paper weight, and If you
mafe another move I'll choke the breath out of
your body aud call it self-defense; see:"
Wiry accepted the situation and the next day
apologized.

The Laugh Yves on the Wit.

Romieu, the famous Partisan wit, was one
day caught in shower say S London Tit Bits,
and forced to seeek refuge ip q doorway of the
opera house. 1t was o'clock already and he
had an engagement at the Cafe de Paris for
that very hour. The rain fell in torrents.
There was no carriage to be had. He had no
umbrella. What was TO be done?
While he was lamenting his bad luck, a
gentleman with a large umbrella passed by
Romieu was seized with a sudden ins piration.
He rushed out and grasped the stranger by the
arm, and gravey installed himself under the
protecting umbrella.
II am overjoyed to see you" he Immediately
began. Il have been looking for you for two
weeks wanted to tell you about Clemen-
tine"
Without giving the stranger time to express
his surprise, Remieu ratified away with gossip
and anecdote until he had led the unknown
companion to the door of the Cafe de Paris.
Then he glanced at him with face of we'll
feigned establishment
Pardon monsieur" he cried; 1T seems am
mistaken"
Il believe so. said the stranger.
Good gracious" added Romeu. "Be dis
Greet; don't repeat what have told you
Il promise you"
"A thousand pardons"
Romieu hRstened within the cafe, and, amid
great laughter, told the adventure TO his friends
Suddenly one of them said:
Your cravat is rumpled."
Romeu put his hand to his neck and turned
pale His pima valuable sapphre-was gone.
On further examination his purse and watch
were found to be gone. The man with the UNI
brella was pickpocket.

ou,ok Work in Bardsley's Case.

Ex-City Treasurer of Philadelphia John
Bardsley will soon be in the penitentiary.
And there are very few outside Of his i'm
mediate family who regret the fate that has
overtaken him. A couple of weeks or 80
ago he was one of the most trusted and
highly respected men Of the Quaker city.
On Monday eighteen indictments were
found against him for embezzling public
money, and yesterday he plead guilty. He
seemed 70 think that his course was run, his
career ended, and that the best thing that
could happen to him was to be hidden from
the world as quickly as possible.
The full extent of Bardsley IS embezzlement
is not yet known. He robbed the city Of
something like $500. 900 and the state of per-
haps 81 100000. And he got no'good out of
the money he stole. He was anxious to be
rich and as soon as he had great sum of
money at his command he began to specu-
late. And he speoulated recSlessly and
wildly and he made bad investments. he
became involved with the rotten Keystone
aud Spring Garden banks in Philadelphia,
and the closiug Of their doors fastened the
disaster which overlook him.
NOW budb DoEObkCy Chco 10 ooeCtei, WAC
Philadelphia criminal court should give it's
whole attention to the scoundrels who
wrecked the keystone and Spring Garden
banks The president Of the Keystone
Bank has escaped to parts unknown, bat
there are others who had hand In the
wrecking business. They should be shown
no mercy. They were Indifferent to the
distress and suffering which their guilty
conduct caused thousands of people, and
there is no reason why they should be
treated leniently.
Post master General Wanamaker met the
charges against him in connection with the
Keystone Bank in straightforward sort of
way. and left the impression that there was
no foundation for them. 1t is source OF
satisfaction that he was able to show that
his reputation was untarnished.
Embezzlers and bank wreckers are be-
coming altogether too common. They are
far more to be feared than common thieves
or burglars. The right way to deal with
them is to get them into the penitentiary
as quickly as possible. There they can do
nobody harm.

Peary's Arctic Expedition.

Great interest is felt in the Greenland ex-
ploring expedition of Lieut.. r. E. Peary of
the United States navy, which left New York
Saturday In the steamer Kite. The Kite is
a very little steamer, but she is well fitted
for the work expected of her. The expedi-
ton is made under the auspices of the Aca-
denny of Science of Philadelphia. Perhaps
no better qualified man to command it
could have been found than Lieut.. Peary.
He has had great deal of experience in the
Arctic regions and is accounted a very sue
cessful Arctic explorer.
One of the objects of the expedition is to
make a complete map of the unexplored
northern coast of Greenland, but the chief
object is to determine whether Greenland is
an island or a continent. If it is found to
be a continent great obstacle to the reach
ing of the North Pole will have been re-
moved. At least that is Lieut.. Peary's
view of it.
The steamer Kite will 60 no further than
Whale sound, where house will be built
for Mrs. Peary, who accompanies the ex-
petition. From that point the explorers
will start on their journey on snow shoes.
The greatest precautions will be taken for
getting back. These precautions will include
the establishing of provision stations at
short distances. Nothing that foresight
can suggest to make the expedition a sue
cess will be left undone

Why Jones Bolted.

One of the best story -tellers it has been my
good fortune to meet is Lionel Brough, the
English comedian, says the New York Telegram.
He Will tell stories and yarns by the day, the
supply being seemingly inexnaustible. His
hearty laugh and jolly face strongly emphasize
his stories. One Of his regulars" is the tale
about the triplets.
1t was at a well-known bar. Jones and three
friends were liquidating when a messenger
rushed in and, taking Jones by the hand, ex-
claimed:
my congratulations. Your wife has pre-
seuted you with bouncing boy
Lets drink to the health of the little
stranger" shouted the delighted Jones.
They drank. Half an hour later the messenger
returned. but with less exuberance than on his
previous appearance.
''Well?" exclaimed the anxious Jones.

sickly smile illuminating mis- features. Again
they imbibed. Another thirty minutes, and for
the third time the messenger made his appear

head into the door and exclaim:

That was tantamount to saying that Sir
William Gordon-C Cumming was guilty of
cheating at cards.
1t was announced a day or two ago that
he said he would commit suicide if the
verdict was not in his favor. He will
hardly do that, but he will feel very much

from his club and the army. While that
verdict stands he cannot hold up his head

that it would have been in his favor.

And summer girls-who sometimes firt-
There's none who celebrates thy best

The seal and bear. no doubt, began
The custom, which with every year
Widens its hold on toiiing man
And to the dullest makes it clear
That what in winter keeps us warm,
Preserves us from the dog days hurt.

Unwilling, welcome flannel shirt!
Thy lovers grow In numbers still,
And soon czars, sultans. kaisers, aye,
And even Quay and ingalls,, will
Agree to raise thy alories hight
Though man Of cold repelling mien
May scorn thee, JET at Mount Desert,
