1t Was Not "A Man,

Officer 9. o. White has lately been put
on the Twenty-sixth street beat, which
includes Puyallup avenue. White is a
fearless officer, and the other night, as he
was making his beat along Puyallup ave-
nue. in deep shade close to the side of
building, he deserted the form Of what
he supposed to be hobo taking a snooze.
or course that would never do, 50 with
preliminary whirl of his club, a little
cough, and perceptible frightening Of
his stature he approached the hobo.
"Come alang out O that meow, will

The hobo moved not so much as
muscle.

Duet o. that, will 90? Yez won't, eh? Wull,

With that White grabbed the supposed
hobo by the back Of the neck. There
was short, preliminary growl, the clank-
ing of chain, and then the fur fairly
flew. 1t was the pet black bear of the
Union club saloon that White had awak-
ened. For about twenty-five minutes
there was little the liveliest scrapping
match there or Whereabouts that has ever
been known in police circles, and when
White got out of reach of the cub he was

dollar hat, the sleeves of his uniform and

spots And to cap the climax, the young

The correspondent of the London
Times at Alexandria, Egypt, states that
three colossal statues, ten feet high, of
rose granite, have just been found at
AbOulir a few feet below the surface.
The discovery was made from indica-
tions furnished to the government by a
local investigator, Daninos Pasha. The
first two represent in one group Rameses
II and Queen Hentmara seated on the
same throne. This is unique among
Egyptian statues.
The third statue represents Rameses
standing upright in military attire, a
scepter III his hand and crown upon
his head. Both bear hieroglyphic in
scriptions, and both have been thrown
from their pedestals face downward.
Their site is on the ancient Cape Zephyr
ium, near the remains of the temple of
Venus and Arsinoe. Relics of the early
Christians have been found in the same
locality,

A Sleep Walkers Fearful Leap.

James S. Claque, a stock raiser of
Greeley, Colo, walked into the police sta
ton at Burlington, Ia, recently, hatless,
coatless and generally bruised up, and
told remarkable story. He said he had
left li5 home to visit friends in Galva,
Ills, and had taken Il sleeper at Denver.
The last thing he remembers was retir
ing to his coach. When he awoke he
Was lying in the ditch at the side of the
track not far from Burlington, badly
bruised and half frozen. He walked to
the police station from there. His theory
was that he had jumped from the train
while asleep when it was running full
speed. An investigation by railroad
authorities proves the truth of the mans
assertion. He is now in the hospital

Knew all
About Watches.

We had been talking in general
way in the smoking car, says q
writer in the Detroit Free Press,
when an oldish man with a very
innocent expression of countenance
suddenly turned and said:
Gentlemen, I've been sort O
lookin round Chicago for three or
four days, and | kinder imagine |
got swindled in buying watch.
Here it is, and wish you'd look at
it and give me your opinions. L
haint travelled around much and |
don't know many of the tricks of
big, bad city, but l hate to think |
don't know huff not to bite at
swindle. Jest look it over and tell
me what you think"
1t seemed to be a gold watch and
the works appeared to be in good
order, but the first man who took 1t
in hand investigated it moment or
two and said:
"Well, old man, if you paid more
than $50 for that thing, you've been
bitten"
81 hev, Ell? That's about what l
had concluded"
81 should say" observed a Sec
ond man after thorough investiga-
ton, chat if [ had my choice be-
tween $50 bill and this watch, I'd
take the bill. I've seen better at
SIS"
"What's your opinion?" asked the
old man, as he handed it to third.
"Humph! You won't get mad?'
ooh, mol"
off you have been swindIed you
want to know it?"
II do"
"Well, sir, | used to be an agent
for factory in Connecticut which
turned out better looking watches
than this at So apiece for the
trade!"
'For the land sakes" gasped the
old man, and he settled back IN his
seat and looked SO heart, broken
that no one felt like saying more to
him. An hour later, when | found
him alone and apparently in better
spirits, | sat down beside him and
asked:
Chow much did you really pay
for that watch, any how?" He pulled
out his wallet, hunted out the bill
which was from one Of the best
jeweIry houses in Chicago. AND
showed nc the figures. The price
of the watch was 1915, with 6
guarantee on the bill for five years
"And I've been in the watch
business myself for thirty-twC
years." he chuckled as | returned
the paper,
"But what was your object?"
asked.
"Just to prove to myself Owe
again that everybody likes to be
lieve that everybody else has beer
taken in and done for; and tina
not one man in twenty knows hal
what he thinks he knows, especi
ally about a watch"
If the public would bear in mine
that the guarantee of responsible
dealer is more to be relied upon
than the dishonest opinions of thei
friends, or interested contempora
ries, they would not hesitate lon
where to buy their watches. For

The Car in Plain Clothes.

When the emperor Of Russia passed
privately through Berlin the other night
he was attired in plain clothes, and it
was the first time that he had ever APP
peared in public thus arrayed. The EN-
peror's towering figure was not displayed
to advantage in loose suit of brown
tweed, especially when contrasted with
the splendid Russian uniform in which
Prince Frederick Leopold appeared, and
his majesty was the only parsonage in
plain clothes. The emperor, who stopped
for nearly an hour at the Stettin line
station, dined on sandwiches, which he
washed down with several bowls of tea,
which was made on the spot by his own
servants, with his own caravan tea

Eyes Made to Order.

A writer has been paying visit to
specialist in the art of making artificial
human eyes, and found upward of 1000

amount of choice which such a number
must offer, the visitor was told that in
most cases it was necessary to make a
size to order. Il suppose" it was OBJ
served, ''you manage to get good prices
for your eyes?" Sometimes" was the
reply, but you would be astonished at
the way some:people will haggle after a
few shilhngs in the price of this specially
designed article"
The firm has large hospital connec-
ton, and patients are sent to them for
the purpose ofhaving new eyes fitted as
we'll as supplied. 1t is sad to learn that
many dealers, who merely buy, are not
at all particular as to whether they fix a

EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS

Everybody eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
terest. There was time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation to delicate
stomach. That time has passed. 1t
was a good many years ago. The
crackers of the present generation are
as different as day from night. There
are good crackers and bad crackers;
fresh crackers and stale crackers; and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers IN the cOun-
try who sell stale, unpalatable crack
ers because they can get them cheap
and make q big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and 10y and by, when their
cracker trade is all gone, and they
don't sell box in q week, they look
surprised and say: "Funny how peO-
ple's tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any more"
Don't they though? People don't
care for stale, unwhOlesOme crackers,
that's true, but they do care for q
cracker that is pure and fresh, and
altogether delightful as an article of
| food.
The American Biscuit Co.
has manufacturing capacity of 800
barrels of flour daily. This enormous
| quantity it makes into a greater va
riety of goods than any other bakery
in the United States of America, and
| yet is scarcely able to fill it's orders.
| 1t is turning out more crackers to-day
than it ever did before, and the trade
is still growing. Why is it? 1t is
| simple enough. Their crackers are
the best that are made. People who
try them invariably want them again
| and the grocer who sells them always
finds that they not only prove good
| source of revenue to him, but make
his store popular with the people.
American Crackers
are made by skilled bakers, of the
very purest and best materials
obtainable. They are sent out of the
| factory fresh from the ovens, and are
never rendered unwholesOme and I'M
palatable as we'll by being stored in
warehouse month or two waiting
for orders. The orders are always
waiting for the crackers. Always ask
for

II do not agree with Mr.. Herbert"
said Secretary Tracy emphatically yes.
terday, "WU need tho battle ships and
they ought to be built. Moro than
that, when the armor Is needed II will
DO ready. Both tho Bethlehem and
Carnegie works have been perfecting
their plants and bytho first day OF July
the two will DO able to turn out 700 tons
Of armor month. This will enable us
to continue the work unintcrruptedly
and ut tho end oftwo years they will
have furnished all tho armor needed for
tho ships now in process Of construc.
tion. II, now, Congress will make an
appropriation for ono or moro battle
ships the plants will be In condition to
supply their plates by tho timc this
stage OF work shall have bcen reached.
Suppose, Mr. Secretary, that Con.
gress refuses to vote you the money for
one or moro battle sbips, don't yon
think it ought to give you an appropria-
ton for some smaller and inexpensive
and ut tho same time, much needed
craft?"
Eyes, Congress certainly ought to do
that" responded tho secretary. "If we
cannot get baltic ship or two, we
ought to have an appropriation for ton
new torpedo boats. Such boats are
valuable in timo OF war. They cost
comparatively little, and tho expense OF
keeping them in commission is rela-
lively small. Heretofore We have not
built torpedo boats because we had no
torpedocs to put in them. Now, VIC
have tho torpedoes, and tho next thing
necessary is tho boats"
"What could you build ten OF these
boats for?"
'If congress should authorizes tho
construction Of ten torpedo boats, thcy
could BIO built at an average cost OF
100000 each. One million dollars would
certainly cover tho entire outlay. I
should favor. ii possible, allowing the
ship building along the lakes and in the
Mississippi valley and elsewhere to con-
tract for them. That scatters the money
over greater area OF country and helps
'tobuill up the intercourse.
"Thon too, We ought to have few
small gun boats, such as were recon-
mended in my last annual report for
river service in foreign waters"
