TRIALS OF A BORROWER.


AmProvidcnce Rebuled mt n Loan Office.
where Cash u Lent the Same Day"
A gentleman suffering from financial
disability went 10 loan Office to ne,-o.
tate borrow on his furniture. In The
advertisement it stated that the none-
would be lent the same dag By a Choc-
taw lady. without removal and nron the
note Of hand Of the borrower. An this
looked very fine in print.
I've got $4,000 worth of personal
property" said the would lie borrower
"and | have to meet wash bill Of $3.50
coming due tomorrow noon. Can ! ret
htted ont here so as to be in position 10
meet the collector without blush.'
The manager Of the loen Office was
strangely silent. The would be borrowe r
became nervous and thought he hadn't
SAID the speech right, and SO he began
over again in this style:
II am a person Of poor but honest par.
entage. temporarily embarrassed. Inced
the sum Of $3.50 to meet an unjust la
bility."
Still there was no answer Then the
borrower walked into tie outside room
and said to the Office boy:
Whats the matter with the manager?
Can't he talk
IL guess it's because you haven't paid
the entrance fee. 10 person is a Nom
Der Of this loan society until he has put
up one dollar
The borrower apologized and deposit
ed the money. Next he repaired 30 the
manager and repeated his original as
sertion.
I'VE charge one dollar more for book
age said the manager.
whats bookage;"
"That's none of your business. One
dollar please"
He paid the money. and the manager
wrote down something in book.
"Now give me two dollars to inspect
the furniture.
The borrower gave him the money.
Now call here next year at . o'clock
in the afternoon and get our answer"
"But the money is due tomorrow"
Cant help it. Put EN- Off
But you can't put people ike that
off. There are some fellows that won't
wait"
The manager smiled superior smile.
"Oh. no there aren't" he said. You'll
know little more about waiting when
you get through with US"
The borrower left the Office reluctant
ly and returned the following year at Q
o'clock. Then the manager told him
somewhat sternly that he couldn't lend
money on that furniture because it had
got too old In vain the borrower rep
resented that it WAS new when his claim
was filed. The manager ended the in
teryiew by charging him SIPS storage
on the papers in the case" aad then
had the janitor throw him out. This
ended the whole transaction. = New

Just word or two about the packing
Of flowers, facts. If you want your gift
to arrive almost rs fresh as when you
picked them. If you desire TO send roses,
insert the cut stems into raw potato,
and the moisture will keep them from
willing, while the flowers themselves
should be wrapped in wax paper. For
small blossoms. such as violets, sweet
peas or orange flowers. pack them closely
in damp moss. but never wet the flow
ers themselves. Cover always with
waxed paper. and in case you can pro-
cure tin or lightweight wooden box it
will insure their safe arrival. as paste

He SAW TIE DEVIL.
An Uncanny Manifestation That Shook the
Nerves of n Wicked Man.

You may say, if you are materialistic or
agnostic or contentious, that there is no
personal devil. But just the same hun
dreds Of people have seen hinl-or believed
they did. Sensible people, too, some OF
them-Martin Luther, for instance. The
explanation of one case Of the kind given
by the famous scientist, Sir Richard Owen,
is so old that it is new and so good that it
will bear publication many times.
DR.. Owen, sage and serious scientist as
he became, was once a wild young medical
student and i'll that capacity stole the
head of negro who had died in jail. On
his way home with it he stumbled and fell
The head slipped from the sack and rolled
into Il tobacco shop. 1t was late at night,
and Owen was dressed in black, so he
dashed in, recovered the head nd escaped.
Next morning the wife of the tobaccopist
called him in as he passed by and urged
him to see her husband, who was almost
wild. Owen kept still tongue, and from
his scientific bias-being interested in the
case-he interviewed the husband, who
dealt with him as with father confessor.
Tho man, it appeared, was Il retired mer-
chant sea captain, who had been in many
adventures in the old shaving in the West
Indies. Among other rAisdeeds, lie had
DSSu CONCeFHSu III hlltit4ss u negro, anu Slice
then his conscience had troubled him about
it. After explaining these particulars the
old captain told of the horrible event which
took place the night before. With eyes
starting from his head, be related how he
was sitting in his shop quite alone and his
conscience troubling hinl-he was thinking
CT the negro whom he had killed-when
suddenly, without the slightest warning
he saw his very head roll into the shop in
front of the counter, and it was instantly
followed by the devil, all in black, with II
black bag in lis hand. The devil spatched
up the head, and both disappeared through
the earth like fash of lightning. Seeing
was believing, and he was prepared to
swear TO the facts.
Owen did not feel 1attered By being COM
pared to satan, but he Vas pleased 10 learn
that he had not been recognized. He did
not state what he prescribed for his patient,
but we suspect that little chaf formed one
of the ingredients, and, rs it was previols
to the advent of teetotalizn, that stiff
glass OF grug formed another.

THE Criminal Trne.n

An important result of the congress ct
Brussels on criminal anthropology has
been the discrediting of the SO called
criminal type" or habitual criminal.
The person who was born a criminal,
and must be one, 'nolens volens." was
supposed to have smaller capacity of

the lower jaw very strong and pro
nounced. the ears often deformed, the
hair coarse and thick, the beard scanty,
etc.
DR.. Tarnovski, of St. Petersburg. and
DR.. Naecke, from very large collection
of data, maintained that there was no
special popularity in the physique of
criminals. male or female. and the general
tendency Of the papers read and discus
sions on the subject was to regard crime
as the result of social and psychical
rather than physical peculiarities.-Man

"Hc then proposed to show me an old
Arkansas trick for taking q panther alive,
which was of course eager to see. So he
selected place among the big rocks which
was only accessible from one side He cut
and drove into tho ground lot Of stakes
and then trimmed the branches from a
strong but slender hickory sapling, climb
ing upward Us he cut the limbs off When
he reached the top his weight bent the sap
ling to the ground. He took O piece Ct
rope and secured one end of it to the top Of
the tree and with the other end formed a
moose, which he fastened over the stakes,
so that anything attempting to get to the
deer woald have to 20 through the moose
Then by an ingenious pivotal trigger be ar
ranged it 50 that any animal in passing
through would throw the trigger and re-
lease the moose, so the tree would instantly
fly up to its natural position. Tho ccntrir-
ance was, on larger scale, similar to the
snares we used to set for rabbits in our Dor
hood days.
"He then placed the deer behind tie
stakes ard explained: W rec a painter is
mighty dainty. lie won't tech 10 dead

dark when he comes for that deer, and he

as q baby. He writhed and twisted and
screamed and howled in the most desperate
way.
when we approached, his rage was ter
rible. He whirled around like top,
swayed like pendulum, went up and down
like toy en- rubber cord, the supple
tree yielding to every struggle.
Il stood within few feet OF him Ind
shot him through the head-as easily and
safely as you would shoot 1T a target.
When he was dead. we drew him down and
skinned him.
