HE KNEW HIS MEN.
They Knew Him Also Showing the Value OF
Wide Acquaintance.

Dan O'Leary is known to hundreds OF
people in Chicago. He is familiar figure
at the race tracks, in the theater Hobbies,
at the restaurants where the men about
town assemble-in fact, at any place where
something is happening. He has some &C.
centricities. One is that summer or win
ter, day or night, he always wears white
flower on his coat lapel. He is a "rounder"
who never drinks, and he has speaking
acquaintance with people in every grade
of life. The newsboys salute him, book
makers listen to his advice, and theatrical
managers like TO get his opinion on n first
nights performance. The one burden Of
his life is that people will confound him
with the famous pedestrian of the same
name. This Dan O'Leary made his first
fame as a baseball manager.
The following story may illustrate how
he is known by all kinds of people:
Late one plight he was going home at
his usual hour and started across the Dear.
born street bridge. Two men walking
ahead of him attracted his attention.
They were the only persons in sight, and
he didn't like their actions. When half
way across the bridge, they spread -
that is, they separated and stood still
waiting for him to pass between them.
Dan stopped also and kept at safe dis
tance.
Gentlemen, said he, Il don't care
which side Of this bridge yor want, but II
you can't make up your minds III take
the other side and go on home. p"
is that you, DAM" asked one Of the
footpads.
Yes -
81 might have known 1t by that flower. "
They walked to the other side % the
bridge, and he hurried on.
Il didn't recognize them, " he said aft
erward, but il shows the value Of having
q wide acquaintance. Chicago Record

Grouse Thrive In SCOT and Smoke

One is always accustomed to connect
that admirable fowl, the grouse, with
heather, yet it is curious fact that heath
er is by no means the best thing for him.
The finest moors in the world, from the
sportsman's point of view, are undoubted-
ly those of the west riding of Yorkshire,
and on some Of the very best of these such
as the famous Blubberhouse, there is
hardly any heather at all. Its place is
taken by the bilberry, ON which the grouse
grow fat and well liking and increase in
numbers to an almost incredible extent.
Another curious fact about west riding
grouse, which we do not remember to have
seen mentioned anywhere before, is that
they do not seem to suffer from the SCOT
and smoke Of the manufacturing towns
which border on the moors For instance
the grouse which are shot on the moors
around Bradford are often simply black
with SCOT, yet they are perfectly healthy,
and, as a rule, rather above the average
size. Apparently, however, these queer
conditions, which suit the red grouse, are
uncongenial to the black game which,
though they abound in many parts Of
Cumberland are hardly ever found on
the moors of the west riding and never in
the manufacturing districts. - London
