Why Jones BOited,

One of the best story tellers it has
been my good fortune to meet is Lionel
Brough, says the New York telegram.
He will tell stories and yarns by the
day, the supply being seemingly mex
haustible. One of his regulars is the
tale about the triplets.
1t was at a well-knOwn bar. Jones
and three friends were liquidating, and a
messenger rushed in and taking Jones
by the hand exclaimed:
"My congratulations. Your wife has
presented you with a bouncing boy"
Lets drink to the health of the lit

Jones.
They drank. Half an hour later the
messenger returned, but with less exu-
berance than on his previous appear

A WETERN DUEL.
BOTH MEN WERE KILLED AND THEN THE
GAME PROCEEDED.

"a fight, fightr'
The interior of gambling hell in a
small Montana town. In the foreground
of the picture stand two men who have
just risen from their chairs and are fac
ing each other, their pistols half drawn
| and an insane glare darling from their
eyes. A pack of cards is scatter ed over
the floor where an angry blow has thrown
them. At the cry of Fight" all the oc-
pants of the place gather around the
combatants-all but the faro dealer, who
sits like stone and never moves, save
to toy aimlessly with the silver box be-
fore him.

A simultaneous movement of the in

Secdless Fruits.

Seedless apples were known to the an
clients, and since then many mentions
have been made of the same fact.
Within the last century not only seed
less fruits, but those preceded by no
blossoms have been occasionally met
with. Thus the mo blow variety was
without apparent blossom and bore no
seed. Other examples of the same pc
culiarity have appeared under different
names. In the common cherry the
kernel or embryo of the seed is fre-
quently abortive, and therefore useless
for termination. The second bloom of
pears and of strawberries is S3ten
doubled. Pistillate varieties of the
latter fruit will sometimes produce
berries, but without seeds. The banana
is one of the best illustrations of seed
less fruit. There are many varieties of
this tropical fruit, and it is probably
true that the wild plants were seed
bearing. The so-called "dried currants"
are seedless grapes from Corinth. In
California this grape produces seeds,
and attempts to raise the standard
article have failed. On the other hand.
the Sultana grape of California is seed.

larger sketch, which includes some in.
teresting outlines of the pillion, might
give the impression that the old method
of riding was not altogether safe. But
the seeming contretemps only displays
the result of unfamiliarity with the
pillion. At present Mr.. Il. S. Wilson,
an English gentleman, is the only per-
son who has carried the crusade as far
as practical experiment, and, of course,
his labors alone could not make good
pillion riders. 1t will only be when the
idea has been widely taken hold of that
it will be worked out with perfect sue
cess. Writing from Mr.. Wilson's coun-
try place, correspondent says;
"Mr. Wilson was rs anxious 20 ex-
hibit as l was to witness pillion riding,
and young cart horse was especially
caught for the service. There were
plenty of girls about ready to mount the
pillion, and young farmer turned up
who at once volunteered to mount tho
horse. The young farmer duly donned

my chief is pretty heavy man, and
very partial to his own wagon; and, I'm
