On recent cold day young man,

coat, which he wore tightly buttoned
about his body, was 80 nearly new that
the "store creases" had not yet disap-

had probably cost forty or forty-fve
dollars. AS soon as the door closed be-

threw It on the counter and laconically
asked of the pawnbroker: "How much?"
-Four dollars" was the response, after
the garment had been examined. 1T

five dollars" 'No." "Well"-after
another critical examination-"fn let
you have six dollars and not q cent
more" With curse the man put the
six dollars In his pocket and walked out
into the street to shiver In an old, thin
and ragged suit OF clothes which had
previously been concealed by the over
coat. "That coat" said the pawnbroker
TO a friend who had watched the trans
action, "has probably come from some
careless persons front hall; but ! cant
be expected TO know about the people
who come here or the articles they
bring. Besides the coat Is cheap at si1

Within five minutes after this Incl

A Dogs sense of military Honor.

A resident Of West Chester, Pa, Is au-
thority for the following dog story"
rs IL was recited TO him by a soldier:
Troop F of the Sixth cavalry owned a
dog which accompanied 1t on every
trip. At the battle Of Wounded Knee
some time ago the animal was aban-
doned and was found in a snow drift
by sergeant Of troop, who took 1t
away and cared for II. The animal
could not be persuaded to return to Its
former owners and remained with the
sergeant, One day the sergeant was
reduced TO the ranks for some breach oi
discipline. From that day forth the
dog would have nothing whatever to
DO with him and took up Its quarter
In another tent. II could never agar
be persuaded to return to the sergeant
evidently considering reduced man IA
beneath its notice"

Three Broadway cars, four trucks, q

tangled in street blockade the other

felt grieved that they had to stand still,
according to the New York Sun.
Then handsome carriage with
spanking team and an old driver in
livery tried to worm its way through
the blockade. There was q rattle and
O bang, and the carriage wheels were
caught fast by the wheels of truck
"Hah, ye swash-faced, lunk-headed
baboon," car driver yelled 10 the lv-
cried driver, "whar' n ell y gaw'nP"
"Gabback out O. that" cried another
driver.
The air was blue with profanity, each
driver vying to outswear the other.
The driver Of the carriage said never q
word, but his face was study. Rage,
hostility and cuss words were struggling
there with restraint and duty.
Just then the carriage door was
opened from within and rosy face ap-
peared, budding from hazy mass OF
light turs.
1t was a sweet, blue-eyed, young and
very pretty face, only the mouth was
contracted as II in pain.
whats the matter, John?" she asked,
plaintively. Cant you drive on? I'm
Just freezing in here"
The swearing ceased at once, and nC
one looked John In the face. But thu
driver of the car backed his horses, th'
truck pulled up little, the cart swunl
/ slightly around, and the carriage
! passed through and rolled on its way.

Hands OF = Baby Convict.
Capt. Powell, in his description Of life
In southern Convict Camp" tells one
story which bears sad testimony TO the
imperfection OF human law, even In the
nineteenth century and in the United
States. The story concerns q negro
named Cy Williams, who was entered
upon the books Of the convict camp.
When q mere pickaninny, running
about In the one garment that forms
the costume OF all negro youngsters in
the south, he was arrested for stealing
horse. He was not large enough to
mount the animal, and was caught in
the act of leading 1t off by the halter,
for which he was duly-the word
should be unduly-sentonoed to twenty
years imprisonment.
Warden Martin was puzzled to know
what TO do with so small a convict, but
finally invented task that certainly
reflects credit upon his ingenuity. He
placed two bricks at each end OF the
prison yard, and giving the black baby
two more, ordered him to carry them To
one of the piles, lay them down, pick
up the other two, which in turn were
10 be carried TO the farther end, ex-
changed again, and so on back and
forth all day long, always carrying two
bricks.
He was warned that he would b
whipped II he failed to pile the brick
neatly or broke any of them. He grew
up at the task, and the constant abra
sion of merely picking up and layinI
down wore out four sets of bricks be
fore he was put to other labor.

about sixty yards from the place, and,
anxious to see what went on, walked
up to 1t, while the lion was still occu-
pied too much to look about him, and
climbed up. He had by this time quite
killed the beautifully striped animal,
but instead Of proceeding to eat 1t, he
got up and roared vigorously, until
there was an answer, and In few min

Every woman is possessed Of some
mania In mild form, which, however,
Is of rs pronounced type, though less
aggressive, as that which has sent
many q poor mortal TO the insane asy-
lum. The New York Commercial Ad-
yertiser claims that this is no rash
statement, but merely a study from
actual life. Take in your own family,
for instance: Do you not say: Jessie
or Belle or Susie is absolutely crazy on
such and such subject?" And though
the topics vary with the women the de-
mentia is not lesscned one whit there
by. Look at the number of feminine
care-takers. who have a passion for hid
ing away their possessions, and so care
fully do they put them out of sight that
they themselves forget where the
place is when 1t comes. time to find
them. Those people would Indignantly

Tracks Laid Every winter Bcross III"
Frozen st. Lawrence.
The communications between the two
shores of the st. Lawrence river at
Montreal are made, as is known, by
means of the Victoria tubular bridge,
constructed some thirty-hve years ago.
which is the largest in the world, the
metallic span being six thousand i've
hundred feet long.
But from this point to- the Atlantic
for a distance of one thousand miles,
there Is no other bridge and all the rail-
roads established on both sides OF the
St. Lawrence have necessarily to cross
II. The company of the railroad that
built Il levies q right-of-way toll OF ten
dollars per car and eight cents per pas
senger.
To avoid payment OF these moneys
the s. E. railroad company had the
idea, some ten years ago, OF construct
inc In winter a communication between
the two shores by means Of q railroad
established on the Ice. Every winter
the work Is done over again, and Il
amply pays. for the outlay. The length
OF this ice road is about two miles, be
