Frank Northey's Bluff Fails to Work
on James ianrahan.
The notorious Frank Northey, who has
frequently been before the public since he
was pardoned from San Quentin for jury
bribery. tried to assert himself again yes
terday. but met his wrong man when he
tried to use pistol.
Deputy Sheriff James Hanrahan has had
considerable eXperieuce in dealing with hard
customers and that was the reason he was
selected to serve an attachment on Frank
Northey.
1t appears that Northey had purchased
some carpets, valued at several hundred
dollars, from Fredericks & Co., but failing
TO pay j. Jacoby, the collector of the firm.
brought Suit.
An attachment was issued and Deputy
Sheriff was placed in charge to guard the
property at Northey's house. Yesterday
Deputy HanTahan was sent out TO take the
carpets away. When he arrived at the
house lie was met by Mrs. Northey. Ham
rahan told her that he had CONS TO take the
carpets away.
81 guess you WON'T" said Mrs. Nnrthey.
YES, l will" said the deputy Sheriff.
and he started 10 look at the different
rooms.
just then Frank Northey appeared in the
hallway In his nlghishirt. In his right
hand he had some sort of a weapon con-
cealed in the folds of his nightgown.
gu won't take those carpets" said
Northey, fiercely.
Yes, l Will. You give me that pistol"
said HaDrahan, advancing toward Northey
and keeping his eye on him. Northey
backed into his bedroom and laid down on
the bed. coneealing his weapon under the
bed clothes.
Hanrahan again demanded the weapon,
saying he was a Deputy Sheriff and was
not 10 be trifled with.
Mrs. NOrthey, who was in the room, told
her husband to give up the weapon. where
upon he handed it 10 her and she put it
away.
Deputy Hanrahan proceeded 10 ripup the
carpets and afterward had them taken away.
Northey'S big bluff had failed because be
struck the wrong man.

Every oyster has a mouth, heart, q liver,
stomach, besides many curiously devised
little intestines and other organs-neces-
sary organs, such as would be handy to a
living, moving, intelligent creature The
mouth is at the end of the shell, near the
hinge and adjoining the toothed portion OF
the oysters pearly covering This tiny
little apology of mouth is oval in shape,
end although hardly visible to one unused
to making such anatomical examinations
can be easily discovered by gently pushing
bodkin or piece of blunt, smooth wire
along the surface of the locality mentioned.
When the mouth is at last located you
can thrust your instrument through be-
tween the delicate lips and considerable
distance toward the stomach without caus-
ing the oyster the least pain whatever.
From this mouth there is of course u
miniature canal leading to the stomach.
Food passes from this canal to the stomach,
and from the latter organ into the intes-
tines just as readily as though the little
bivalve were as large as an elephant or a
rhinoceros.
Remove the she'll Ghis operation is rather
rough on the oyster, but can be done in
comparatively painless manner by an ex-
pert and you will see the crescent, which
lies just over the SO called heart. This half
moon space is the oysters pericardium.
Within is the true heart the pulsations of
which can be readily seen without the aid
of glass. The heart is very humanlike,
made of two parts, one of which receives
the blood from the gills through network
of real blood vessels; the other portion con-
tracts and drives the blood out through the
body, The other organs of an oysters auat-
omy are all in the proper places and per-
forming their several functions-St. Louis
Republic.

The continual extension of railways in
Turkey in general, and especially in the
Syrian province of the empire, is Of some
what wider interest than the economic i'm
portance of the lines built or building
would suggest. The railway policy of the
Ottoman government has resulted so far
In the construction of three trunk lines
through the northern and central portions
of the sultan's Asiatic deminions These
lines embrace a railway from Haidar Pasha
"a suburb Of Constantinople-runn
right through the heart of Asia Minor, and
thence down to the Tigris valley, Bagdad
and the Persian gulf, the object being to
link the latter gulf with the waters of the
Golden Horn; the second, a line from Sam
soon, on the Black sea, southward to Ayas,
on the Mediterranean, and SO link together
the Black and Mediterranean seas; third,
to connect the Mediterranean sea through
Damascus and the Euphrates valley with
the Persian gulf.
The first line has been undertaken by a
German company, which has already car
ried the line to Angora, 440 miles inland
from Constantinople. A Belgian company
holds the concession for the second line,
and has already completed the survey of
tas first portion. The third line Is In pos
session Of an English company, whose
operations have already reached the point
of actual construction, and this line, which
passes through Syria and the Euphrates
valley, will form part Of the shortest route
to India-London Times

Ono Fine Morning.

1t was not quite so white world as
showed itself one August morning year,
ago. The sun had risen its finest and the
tourist crowd had gone back to its beds in
the big hotel just off the Kuhn and left ii
to three well wrapped mortals too en-.
thralled to feel that they could ever sleep
again. The green of the mountain rose
like an island from wide sea of billowy.
silky, white clouds. Only the distant
mountain peaks companioned it, and the
sky made blue dome over all.
After time clear pcals of heavy bells
came up through the floecy substance that
hid church and village, and we could hear
the tinkle of the COW and goat bells us herds
and fiocks went to the pastures
Then MS the sun rose higher there were
riffs in the clouds, aud hamlets, forests and
blue lakes appeared and disappeared as the
sea shifted its pillows. The riffs opened
wider and wider as the hours went on, till
it was all open, and the lake of the four
forest cantons lay clear, far below, with the
Bernese Alps piling up their SHOWS and
glaciers and precipices on the farther side,
and lakelets and towns and farms and
miles Of pastoral Switzerland could be
studied as on map.
The gravity railways have since that day
brought higher and better situated noun
tain tops within the reach OF the three
travellers, and they are content to sail up
Laka Lucerne without stopping, but with
feeling that the unsurpassed morning for
them was that one when the Rigi did its
best.-Newport News
