Dutch Simpllcttv,

Kempen, q town in Holland on the
lower Rhine (the birthplace OF Thorn
as Kempis), Is a favorite residence
OF people with small incomes. The
imagination of these Dutchmen
must be as limited as their incomes!
judging from the droll stories that are
told OF them. !
At one time a fire broke out, and
much damage was done because the
engines were out OF repair. The couni
Gil met, and after much argument it
was voted that on the eve preceding
every fire the town officer should care
fully examine the engines, pumps, etc.
One ofthe greatest profits of the town
was the toll exacted at the gates. The
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll, it
voted to double the number of gates.
This same council ordered the sum
dial to be taken from the court house
common and placed Under cover,
where it would be protected from the
weather.
But all the queer things that are
told of Kempen and it's people Moth.

on the top of a very high tower. and
the only way these droll Dutchlnen
could think of to get it off was tai

A St. Bernard dog set out for help.
He came upon a Newfoundland dog,
and said to him, II will hire thee to

To the mastiff he said, 'Thee will ]

To the shepherd dog said he. "MH

Then looking down at the silken

Tanned the Lions With a Broom.
The broom is a mighty Instrument
OF civilization, and is generally recog-
nized as a useful implement to quell
unruly small boys, but as weapon
of defense against wild beasts it has
not been popular. \ At the winter
quarters of Barnum & Bailey's men,
agerie at Bridgeport, Conn.,, recently,
a newly employed German was told
to clean the cages containing the
lions, both inside and out. The
work is done with long-handled rakes
and brushes, which are inserted be-
tween the bars OF the cage. Nobody
paid any attention to Hans until Mr..
Hamilton, one OF the managers, hap
pened to walk through the room con-
tanning the lions cage, when he was
Mortified to see Hans inside the cage
with the five lions. He was going
about his work in most methodical
way, sweeping the floor vigorously
with mis- broom, which he occasionally
poked with a vim into the faces of the
astonished lions whenever any
of them came anywhere near
him. The animals evidently
were SO much surprised at the
mans utter indifference to them that
they kept huddled up in one corner
until Hans wanted to clean out that
particular part of the cage. They were
then unceremoniously evicted with the
help OF the broom, and they scamp
cred around utterly forgetful of their
proper dignity. Mr.. Hamilton hastily
got some Of the older hands together,
and then he ordered the German to
come out of the cage. Hans wanted
to finish his Job, and laughed at the
idea OF the animals hurting him, but
he finally obeyed orders, and got out
OF the cage without a scratch. !,
The lions in question are a particu1
larly unruly, savage lot, and nobody
ever enters their cage. Why they did
not tear this workman limb from
limb is a mystery, but it was some7
time before he could be made to un-
derstand the danger from which he
had escaped. -

How a Girl Saved a Train.

Usually it dosen't take long to be q
hero, but on the other hand the OPP
portunity must be seized when it ar
rives or it will depart as suddenly as
it came. The other day the Caliior-
MIA express train, on its way to TIA
coma, over the Southern Pacific
Railroad, approached the long trestle
ct Cow Creek Canon, where the rail

road crosses deep gorge. The train
was going at speed of forty miles an
hour, when the engineer say young
girl frantically swinging lantern and
trying to attract his attention. Tho,
air-brakes were Instantly, set, and
the train came to a standstill at tho
edge OF the trestle, s.,
Investigation showed that wreckers
had taken up the outer rail the
trestle and the guard-raa as we'll and
had thrown both into the canon.
The work mast have been done just
before the train was due, as the track
walker had passed over the trestle
half an hour previous and found every
thing all right then. - sS'.l8
Five minutes before the train arriv-
ed two girls and young man walked
past the trestle with lantern. They
were going home from party. They
were Mortified to see the rails torn up.
Just then the express train was heard
approaching. One of the young ladies
snatched the lantern from the young
mans hand and run up the track,
swinging the light around her head.
The engineer saw her Just in time, az
nothing could have saved the train
from going into the rocky gulch had
it started across the trestle.
The train consisted of twelve cars,
including eight passenger coaches, con-
tanning $50 people. Upon learning
the cause OF the delay, the passengers
made up a purse to the girls who had
saved their lives, but whose names
they could not learn, as the rescuers
disappeared immediately after stop.

may be expected in q couple of months
time, is a PINK brocade robe with sleeves of
rale green velvet and arranged with a
quaint lace cape on the shoulders which ia
brought down the front of the bodice n
caught with jewels here and there. This
gown will be short-waisted and yet not in
the extreme Of the empire mode. Details
of its making may shift with the develop

which the brocade has already been chosen.
