Blind and Deaf Man missing.

A man named Michael or Martin III. Smith
left Cumberland Mills Saturday morning to go
to the Eye and Ear Infrmary in this city for
treatment. 1t is known that he arrived at the
Rochester station in this city, for he was seen
there by the officer on duty. Mr.. Smith is blind
and partially deaf. 1t is reported that he had
$50 in his pocket. Word was left at the police
station yesterday that Smith was last seen by
the officer at the railroad station. What has be-
came of him is a mystery. Smith is about 26
years old. He was patient at the Infirmary
some time ago and was helped at that time by

The Y. MI. C. A. Fair.

The Y. M. C. A. fair closed on Saturday eve
ming. There was good attendance. The arti-
Giles offered for sale were very generally closed
out the ice cream parlor, lemonade booth and
refreshment room all transacted large sales.
The great feature of the week has been the ex-
cellent music furnished by Chambers Band. 1t
was worth more than the price of admission to
have seat in the gallery and hear the band
play. The selections were of a most extended
range from classical to popular and all rem
dered with smoothness and finish that was a
great credit to the organization.

How Did He Know.

A writer tells a story of dog who
seems to have streak of financial in
telligence. And the writer, like most
men who tell dog stories, vouches for
the narrative as IAN absolute fact"
The animal is mongrel, who some
time ago, in a forlorn and hungry con-
dition, located himself" on the prem
ises of woman who lives in a fiat on
Gates avenue.
The other day, while roaming about,
the dog found fve-dollar bill. By
what process of reasoning or observa-
ton he had come to know that FIVE
dollar bills are worth saving, it is inn
possible to tell. The simple fact is that
he took it in his mouth, and in spite of
the efforts of several street boys who
tried to get it away from him, ran
home and deposited it at his mistress
feet, with wag of his tail that seemed
to say:
"There, ma am, you see am able to
pay my board"
1t is added, of course, that the woman
would not part with the dog for ever
so many five-dollar bills.-Brooklyn

Climbing a Cathedral Tower.

A most peculiar custom which has
been preserved since the middle ages
at Friburgen- Brisgau is that of climb
ing the cathedral tower upon the ami
vcrsary of the birth of the reigning
duke of Baden. The tower is four hun
dred feet high, and to scale it from the
ground to the apex is a very difficult
performance, attended with great dan
ger. 1t is done by climbing from one
projection to another, these being ON
the average one foot apart A single
false step means death. To descend is
also no easy task. Each person who
makes the climb and the descent safe
ly receives five marks from the state
and ticket of admission to the annual
dinner given in honor of that day. The
seventy-siXth anniversary of the birth
of the present duke was recently cele-
brated and three men performed the
feat successfully. One of the three
was cool-headed enough to pause when
he had climbed about two hundred feet
and indulge in an acrobatic perform
ance. He was warmly applauded by
the enormous crowd of spectators
which always gathers on the dukes
birthday niversary.-Chicago Trib-

at night it is very dark and practically
deserted. How this fact became known

He Knew.

A school inspector was examining q

That was an easy question, and all the
children shouted: "A mani" and then
looked around triu nphantly, as much
as to say: "Ask another" "Yes, but
what else?' said the instructor. This
was not so easy, but after a pause a
boy ventured to suggest: "a little
