A Questionable Practice.

Captain" began a manly-looklng
boy, leading by the hand solled, tear
stained, but still detiant-looking young
ster, apparently about 10 years of age,
to Captain Hemenway, of police dlvls-
ion 2, Captain, here is a boy who Won
obey his mother; what can you do with
him ?''
"What?" Numbered the captain,
won't obey his mother? Come here
SIR" at which command the kid APP,
preached, giving vent to what seemed
premonitory symptoms of howl.
"Where do you liye?"
e Spring Street, SIR" blubbered
"Do you know what we do with boys
who won't obey their mothers %
mo, s-sir."
"Well, I'll show you. Here, officer,
take this boy into the cellar and show
him what he is coming to. Don't lock
him up yet, but let him see," and, es-
corted by two burly officers, the preco-
cious youth was led away.
A few minutes later he was escorted
back with the same solemnity, and, with
face very pale and little dirtier, was
brought again before the stern-looklng
captain, and tearfully promised to act
in the future as cherubs are supposed to
do.
After he had gone Capt. Hemenway
said: "This is common occurrence
here, and it usually has much better
effect on boy than either Furnishing
him corporally or sending him to re-
formatory institution, where associations
will ruin what still remains in HIM I'M
corrupted. Some time ago two boys,
really bad, we're sent here by their
parents prior to having them placed in
some institution, and after thoroughly
soaring them by picturing to them an
imaginary fate, had them put in the
guard room with the doors ajar and left
them to themselves, after telling them
that hope Of escape was useless, Tor the
police would finally run them down and
recapture them.
Gas l expected, love of liberty
proved too strong temptation, and
they slipped out, supposing they were
unnoticed. Now, that was several
months ago, and, led on by their
parents, who were posted, they believe
that they are fugitives from the law, and
in every bluecoat they see a pursuer.
There are, as "a result, no two better-be-
haved lads in Boston. Such results
could not have been obtained in the
best managed reformatory in the coun-
try. "-B0ston Herald.

Over Il Long Trestle.

A strange scene was witnessed on the
Northern Pacific trestle at the water
works. The trestle is about 600 feet
long and 55 feet high. Under it is the
Union Pacific roadbed. The ties are
about eight inches apart and are evenly
distributed the entire distance. At an
early hour the attention of dozen peo-
pie was attracted by large sorrel
horse, who had walked along the trestle
from the south and was unaware of the
danger ahead. He was unable to turn
around and had fully 500 feet yet to
travel. The spectators expected every
moment to see the animal dashed to
atoms by fall.
Fully mindful of his danger, it was re-
markable to note the instinct with
which the animal stepped cautiously
from one tie to another. He had just
the Union Pacific roadbed when he be-
came dazed and missed his footing.
His hind feet caught in the tie and
threw him, so that the rear portion OF
his body overhung the framework OF
the immense bridge, while he held him
self by his fore feet.
The spectators looked every moment
for the fatal fall. Suddenly, with a
powerful lunge, the heroic animal threw
his body toward the trestle and man
aged to regain his feet. Again he
started on his perilous walk, and when
within few feet of the end of the
bridge tell again and was caught in the
same manner. Martin Scully started to
the assistance of the animal with a
rope, but the horse was SO close to terra
tirma that he made another effort to
regain bis feet and fell to the sloping
bank Just short distance below. He
then rolled down the bank for about
twenty-five feet. His mouth and hooi
were badly bruised in the struggle, but
otherwise he was uninjured.- Olympic,

Some half dozen years ago the

Fremont, Neb., northwest across the
state of Nebraska. This line was called
the Fremont, Elkhorn q Missouri Val
ley road. From Valentine, a little
town named after Congressman Valen-

laid across cattle ranches, granger set
Elements and wild lands frequented by
Indians and highwaymen. The OBJ
iective point was the Black Hills, and
at that time that section separated
crime from civilization. In those day s
Mr.. Morehouse had charge of one of the
divisions of construction.
About 20 miles west of Chadron the
Indians were very thick, and nothing
but the steam engine would drive them
away from the work. AS the first en-
CINE steamed over the newly-laid track
hundreds of red men would flock around
the great curiosity. They would not
come within 100 yards of it, but were
satisfied to gaze at respectful distance.
One day curious buck, with more
courage than his comrades, sneaked up
to the painting and steaming machinery
and dared to touch one of the wheels.
Mr.. Morekouse happened to be in the
cab. When the Indian motioned for
his brethren to approach the steam
man Mr.. Morehouse jerked the whistle
rope with all his strength. A horrible
shrek came from the monster, and the
Indian stood as an ossified man. Sud
denly he found his feet, and away he
ran as a frightened deer. Over sage
bush he dashed away, not stopping a
second. He ran over 10 miles without a
stop, and was found at the edge / of

There are no herths in the cabin,

is all open at the stern. A low, broad
seat runs around the cabin. On that
nj RS. Elder slept. When mile and a
halt OFT Bay Shore the Montauk was put
about, and at that instant vicious puff
of wind filed the sail, the yacht turned
bottom upward, and the passengers
sank beneath the waves. MIR. Elder
and the sailing master were the first to
reach the surface of the water. They
caught the boats bottom, and when
Gerald's head appeared he was helped
to the boat. Mrs. Elder remained in

came to the surface without finding her.
Down he went again, and came up with
no better success. After the third

clasped her in his arms, and a
moment later he had her seated on the

Mrs. Elder to breathe until rescued.

The Russian Grabbing Feast.

A strange religious custom is practiced
by the Russian peasants of Olonetsk and
in adjoining districts of southern Arch
angel and other governments. A few
DAYS before the calendar day of Elijah
the prophet aug. y the peasants bring
cattle to the courtyard of their
churches, each according to his clrcum-
stances. If they are poor they throw
their donations together and buy one or
two heads of cattle for the whole village.
After the morning services on Ehjah's
Dav the priest comes out of the church
in his official vestments and sprinkles
holy water on the cattle. During the
noon services the cattle are killed and
boiled in large kettles kept around the
church from year to year for this pur-
pose. The priest again comes out and
sprinkles holy water on the meat. AS
soon as this is done all the villagers fall
to and try to grab each as much of the
meat as he can.
Every peasant then distributes the
meat among the members of his family
or his nearest relatives, who consume it
on the spot. Many sturdy villager gets
his clothes torn or his face scratched IN
the general scramble for meat. But
they do not mind this; they consider
it a necessary auxiliary to the time
honored celebration. The celebration
is called the grabbing feast. "khvatovst-
china"
The clergy have tried to modify this
semisavage ceremony. In some places
they have transferred it to the day of
the Ascension of the Holy Virgin (Aug.
27). and cause the cattle offered by the
ueasants to be sold in the interests of
the church. In other places they have
the meat distributed in regular order SO
