A few days ago an elderly gentleman
and his wife came down Broadway to-
gether. A lady crossing the street fell
down. The old gentleman rushed to her
assistance and helped her in every possi-
BILE way. When he returned to his wife
she shook her fist at him. "It's all right;
it's all right" he whispered. "Yes,
know it's all right" she replied hotly.
Here's an unknown woman falls down
and you plow across the street to help
her, and the other day fell down stairs

ticing for a circus. New York World.

Sweet Simplicity,

A party of guests from well known
New Hampshire hotel deserted the piaz-
zas and wandered down into the mead

In the party were Miss B, fasci-
mating girl of sweet and twenty, her
mother and Professor K, an old So
journer and authority on all points of
interest in the vicinity.

A Story from Anime Land.

Sixteen years ago senator of the Ital-
ian parliament, while coming down an
Alpine glacier at the height of $4,000
feet, dropped his coat in u crevasse. He
was informed by the guides, knowing
the annual rate of glacial movement,
that it would probably come out from
the mouth of the glacier in about seven
teen years. Last August party of
tourists saw coat in the moraine, and,
on examination, it is claimed to have been

Keeping Track of Passengers.

"How do l remember which passen-
gers have given up their tickets?" said
Western railroad conductor. "Ihave no
way in particular, but just get used to
it. While l may not recognize every
one who has paid, l can spot one from
whom have not received a ticket at
once. Then il / am in doubt a sharp
look usually does the business. Most
people would like to have the collector
skip them, but they are 30 impressed
with the idea that we know they have
not paid that a sharp look acts like
lodestone to draw out the cash.
"Of course it is possible for hardened
sinner to bluff a collector, but few try
it. After we have once made u round
there is no trouble, for at stations we
stand where we have full view of the
train and see exactly what persons go in
and out of every car."-Cincinnah

An Aged ManteIpiecc.
A chimney piece carved from wood
over 5000 years old has recently been
erected in house in Edinburgh. The
wood, an oak tree, was found in sand
pit at Musselburg, thirteen feet below
the surface. Professor Geikie, of the
geology chair of the University of Edin-
burgh, after personally examining the
strata in which the oak was found, said
the tree, which was 8 feet inches in
diameter, must be at least 5000 years
old, and describes it as relic of the
neolithio man. II was in a fine state of
preservation, due to the sand, and was
easily workable. e.--Jacobite Reliquary.

A Stone Image Sixty Feet Under Ground

A Stone Image Sixty Feet Under Ground.
Years ago, probably as early as 1881,
when workmen were excavating cut
ON the Humeston and Shenandoah rail-
way, they found stone image about
eight inches in height imbedded in the
clay at a depth of about sixty feet be-
meath the surface. In general attitude
the image may be said to be in squat
ting or sitting posture, the right elbow
resting upon the bent knee. Two horns,
each about an inch in length, adorned
the head. The mouth, and in fact the
whole face, was very large for the size
of the image. The main question is,
How long has it been since that image
was an object of worship?-St. Louis Re-
public.
