A Seattle man, tired OF the ordinary
slow method Of catching fish, threw 4
lighted bomb into The place where the

velopments. To his DISCUS. retriever
dog he had with him jumped into the
water and seized the explosive in his
mouth and made for the shore. When
he landed the man realized that his
only safe,y WAS in flight, bu. even
that very nearly proved futile, as the
trained animal made bee line to Go.

time, and soon nothing but the vacant
spot where the dog used to DO and

the tale.

The Boise Evening Mail charges
that the Democrats who were honestly
elected to State offices are being
counted out. In proof of this allega-

returns it appears that 1904 persons
who voted for Governor failed to vote
for Secretary Of State, that the vote
for Treasurer is 2547 short of that 70,

curious Coronation Ceremon,es,

When O chief is about to be crowned
king paramount of the Swat nation, a
warrior Called an impD is sent out to
hunt for lion, tiger, a buffalo and a
large snake. This because part of the
ceremony ut the coronation consists of
the king eating portions of tho hearts of
the three animals, the oil of the snake
only being used. The medicine man rubs
the oil on the breast, temples and be-
tween the shoulders of the kns-this to
prevent him being bewitched. The ami
NAL hearts are supposed to act on the
liver and make his royal majesty brave
indeed. During the ceremony the king
sits upon the skull of the buffalo, which
has been placed upon the ground in tha
heart Of the village.
The exercises last three days. On the
first he is clothed only in the skin of the
lion, on the second in the skin of the
tiger, while on the third the skull is in
the center of the buffalo's skin and
mounted by the king, who is perfectly
naked. In this situation he receives the
congratulations of his people, who hail
him as ''Great Liozs," s@Great Tiger"
"Slayer of serpents" and "Rider of the
Buffalo" By the above titles ne is ever
after known to his people.--St Louis Re.

Rusl1in's Toys.

The home rule of Ruskin's mother
was we'll nigh Puritanic in severity; his
toys were few and his source Of amuse-
ment limited. He says:
For toys, had bunch Of keys to
play with SO long as I was capable Of
pleasure in what glittered and jingled;
as grew older had cart and ball,
and when I was six years old, two boxes
Of well cut wooden bricks.
With these modest, but still think
entirely sufficient possessions, and being
always summarily whipped if I cried,
did not do as ! was bid or tumbled on
the stairs, soon attained serene and
secure methods Of life and motion, and
could pass my days contentedly in
tracing the squares and comparing the
colors of my carpet, examining the
knots in the wood Of the floor, or count
ing the bricks in the opposite houses.
There were also intervals of rap
turous excitement during the filing of
the water cart through its leathern pipe
from the dripping iron post at the pave
ment edge, or the still more admirable
proceedings of the turncock, when he
turned and turned until fountain
sprang up in the middle of the street.
But the carpet, and what patterns /
could find ia bed covers, dresses or wall
papers to be examined, were my chief

Doubled on the Dogs.


On the elevated train the writer was
attracted by the beauty of a young girl
who was going somewhere or other
alone. Opposite her sat a fat man and
a thin man, and by her sat medium
sized man.
The fat man looked over his paper at
the curve of her shoulders. The thin
man looked over his at the creamy
roundness Of her chin. The medium
man glanced sideways at her shell pink
ear and from there to her dainty hand.
And she gazed abstractedly.
The three men would each pretend to
read a paragraph and then proceed to
take another look. The girl became
conscious of the arrangement after
awhile and began to get nervous. Men
away down at the ends of the car were
beginning to stand on their toes to ex-
anime her loneliness. The girl looked
as If she wanted to shrink away. She
reminded one of hunted fawn with a
lot of dogs ranged around her ready to
fasten their teeth in her. At Chatham
square the guard called:
Change for Fulton, Wall and South
ferriesr'
The girl arose and moved for the door.
The fat man, the thin man, the medium
man and several other men started also.
When the train stepped the girl
turned back and re-entered the train.
The fat man, the thin man, the me-
dunn man and the several others stood
on the platform and looked blank.-New
