Am Ancc,lnte ni 1ireeier-

1t was the custom of Horace Greeley,
one of the most absent-minded of
American journalists, on Sunday fore
noon to attend church, after which he
would saunter down to the Tribune
Office and look through the exchanges.
One remarkably cold Sunday he came
down to the Office after church. The
janitor had neglected to light any
fires. Mr.. Greeley went into the
editorial rooms and, his feet feeling
cold, he took off his shoes and rested
his feet upon the stove. Presently the
foreman came down on some erFand of
business. 1t was freezing, and there
was q cold draught rushing through
the register where Mr.. Greeley sat Inn
meFsed In exchanges, wholly oblivious
Of all s4blupary discomforts. ''Why,
Mr.. Greeley" exclaimed the foreman,
what in the world are you doing?
There's no fire there. and you'll take
your death of coldv' "Confound it!'
said the philosopher, pettishly, ''why
did you tell me? was warming my
self very nicely."-Once q Week.

AN ExOITING SCENE.

A Lady'S knowledge of Character Saves
Her from the Patrol Wagon.
A. handsome lady whose husband IL
q member of one of the "old families"
entered the shop of prominent hair
dealer and laid on the counter some
human hair she had purchased at the
same place few days previously.
The clerk refused to take it back; SO
decide the matter.
The lady said there were nits In the
hair, and she did not want any In ex-
change for it from that shop
The tone and manner of the dealer
were not conciliating. The lady was
already angry, and she grew moro so
In the exciting dialogue that ensued
Finally she picked up hand glass and
threw 1t at the man. He missed the
missile, but it did not miss some Of his
valuable property, and, moreover, it
shivered itself to pieces on the door.
''Go for An oficerl' shouted the man
70 q clerk.
"Yesl 60 for an officerr' cried the In
turiated woman.
When the policeman put in his APP
pearance the dealer said:
"O61cer, arrest this womanp'
Officer, arrest this nanp COM
msnded she, in tone of authority.
''She broke my looking glassi" he
said
HE is an Englishmanr' said the
lady, who saw at glance that the
policeman was an Irishman.
The officer at first looked from one
to the other, but when the lady re-
sponded;
"Officer, arrest this Englishman!" he
replied, in rich brogue and with
hearty good will: Take out war
rant, lady, and I'll take him down-I1l
take him down with pleasure.
By this time she began to surmise,
so she said afterward, what her hus-
band would think of such an affair,
and so she resumed her dignity and
left the shop, leaving her unfortunate
purchase of human hair to make up the
loss Of the mirror. Louis Chronicle.

A Story Which shows How Mercilessly
Sure the System Ii.
Ayoung man. who had been arrested
one morning for theft, was called and
measured then and there. The process
is carried out by two men, one of whom
applies the instruments and calls out
the figures, which are entered on a card
by the other. precisely as In tailor's
shop. The subject is barefooted and
bareheaded. Ten measurements are
taken in four minutes, together with
the height standing, the height sitting,
the length of the arms extended, the
length aud breadth of the ear. This
finished, Mr.. Bertillon, card in hand.
Intercepted the prisoner:
What is your name?"
albert Felix"
"Have you ever been up before?"
"No, never"
quite sure?"
Perfectly sure" with jauntv conf
dence.
AS the young scoundrel was the lead
er of band this seemed highly improb-
able.
He was removed, and we proceed to
the search. Section after section of the
drawers was rapidly eliminated by
comparing the figures on them with
those upon NJ. Felix's card At last we
came to single drawer, and then down
to two cards If he was there at all, it
must be one of these. A look at the
first at once showed discrepancies of
one or more millimeters under some of
the headings, and, as the bony meas
urements are accurate to millimeter,
L Il IL
manned one card. NJ. Bertillon took it
up, hiding the photograph on it
ALI the figures correspondent exactly
with those just taken of Felix. He was
recalled and again questioned He re-
peated his former statements, but OBJ
viously with less confidence. M. Ber-
tillon uncovered the photograph, and
there the fellow was to the life as he
stood that moment before us. It was
most startling. But the original of the
photograph was called Alfred Louis
Lemaire, and he had been in Jail two
years before. The cards bore details
of certain scars and marks on hand and
body; they corresponded exactly with
those on Felix. Our friend, the detect
i've, edged up and watched the prisoner
with professional delight Again ques-
toned, Felix stuck to his story, but his
composure was gone; his eye was
troubled, his lips trembled, and the
muscles of his face twitched. The pho
tograph was shown him. "Who is
that?"
Not me, some one like me"-but
very shakily.
"This is Alfred Louis Lemaire, and
he was arrested" etc.
The fellow was. down in an instant a.
limp as wet paper. "Oui, c'est mon
nom," adding, II knew you would find
it"
The astonishing thing was that out of
that great roomful of cards not single
one corresponded with the measure
ments of the youth before us, except
that particular one-his own. Mistake
is posSible.-Chambers' journal
