from the San trancisco Examiner.
The clerks Of the Grand say that the most
cheerful man who ever stayed there was n
Bowling Of Minneapolis, recently here, and he
had $500 worth Of wooden legs and wooden
arms. He wore them all himself. Without
them he would not, to al Appearances, have
made much Of a showing.
Set up on his high cork legs, however, and
with his arms pieced out with the same mate
rial. he would burst into the hotel like . rsy of
light on q dark. cloudy day. He was the victim
Of one Of the playful bhzzards Of Minnesota
When II was over and he was gathered up from
the snow it was difficult to tell what pieces
would Withstand the allurements Of the grave
digger.
Some of him survived, however, and then he
set about to see what he could do. Both legs
were off close to his body. His left fore arm
was gone, and all he had remaining was the
smallest stump of the thumb on the right hand
He practiced for while walking with the heavy
leathern boots which everybody has seen legless
men wear. Finally he raised enough money to
buy his various cork extremities.
Mr.. bowling likes joke, and when stopped
on the street here and importuned for aims by
men with one leg or arm, or both legs or arms
gone, would Immediately take them to the
restaurants and load them up with big dinner
at his own expense, all the time listening to
their tale of misfortune with the greatest inter
est
When it was all over his face would tighten,
and. much to their sstonishment. he would
begin shucking bis legs and arms, exposing
the hypocritical material Of which they were
made. At the same time he would tell how
glad he would be if he was only Is well sup
piled with legs and arms as they were He
would next tell them to brace up, take heart
and begin learning something useful TO support
themselves.
Mr.. Bowling cannot use . cane because he
forced to make his way. He has learned to
do it 30 well that he can outrun any able
bodied man, however skillfu he may be, who
will hop while he runs He has learned to
grasp pen or pencil with the small stump Of
q thumb, and he writes beautiful hand very
rapidly

There is a 12-year-Old boy in Harlem,
known to his friends as Charlie, who, il
he keeps on, will be a railroad hnancier
when he grows up. Like all small boys,
Charlie is base ball fiend. About two
weeks ago he organized a club, had him.
self elected treasurer, while boon COM
panion was made captain. Then all of
the thirteen members went out to hustle
for funds, SO they could purchase pretty
uniforms. The plan was success, and
fully $50 was realized.
At this point the fnanciering common
ced. A meeting of the club was called
and five boys, dcluded by Charles state
ment that there would be more money to
divide if they voted as he directed, gave
their voice in favor of expelling tho 9TH
er six members.
This brought the club down to seven.
luSu II new COuDlHullOu wac lOlHcuJ
consisting of the captain, treasurer and
two others, who were assured that they
were on the inside. 1t was four to three,
and the three had to 60.
Of the four remaining, Charlie gave
one of the two quarter to vote the ex-
pulsion of the other, and then the treas
urer and captain promptly "fred" the
traitor.
The club had got down to two.
Charles called little meeting and
said to his companion "You can't get
cent, for every motion you make I'll vote
against, and it will be lost But if you
will resign I'll give you dollar"
After mature consideration, the captain
accepted, and Charlie, sole heir of the as
sets of the Harlem Howlers, was in pos
session of s23.75, which he is saving up
to buy bicycle with.

and challenged the malcontents to inves
tigate the Government, and President
Carnot has seconded the offer by every
effort to uncover the truth. This does not
look like weakness or guilt, and in this
country would serve to give an Admins
tration strength.
Ribots splendid RESPONSIBLE NIillevoye's
attack charging the Government with
weakness and completely in the canal
bribery schemes has not been equaled in
French history. His declaration that
Millevoye and his party seek only the
destruction of the republic, and not tho
vindication Of the honor of the Nation,
won the admiration of the Chamber, and
the vote of confidence that followed re-
buked the conspirators as they deserved.
Fortunately fer France, Ribot, Theve-
net, Carnot and few others are poll
ticians and statesmen whose regulations
for integrity cannot be successfully as
sailed. They have defied and shamed
the enemies of free institutions, and the
only one of them charged with COM
plicity in the canal frauds has triumph
antly proved his innocence, though no
evidence of his guilt was offered.
All in all, the outlook for the chief re-
public in Europe is brighter. The mon
archists, royalists and anarchists have
not made Roadway. The Government
has, let US hope, passed the crisis, and in
its pushing Of the investigation is gain
ing the confidence of the French people,
who in a moment of excitement threat
ened to upturn the whole system Of gov
eminent and rush into the arms Of alb
solutism.
