Her Mistake.

II was in the theater lobby. right
after the curtain had dropped for the

on their wraps The gentlemen were
busy assisting them. Every one was
trying to get out Of the main door.
In the center of the crowd was a
young man and his best girl. He was
q nice young man and the girl was
pretty. Walking In front of them,
or rather in front OF the girl, was an
elderly looking man. He stopped
suddenly, his face got red and purple
by turns. He finally blurted out:

A BURIED BONE.
Involves q California Coroner and Ses
CAPTAIN.

involves q California Coroner and Ses
Captain.
Captain Patterson, of the British
ship Dunstaffnage, is indignant at the
action of Coroner Curry, of Contra
Costa county, California. While the
Dunstaffnage was at Port Costa dis
charging her cargo the boatswain'
Thomas Somers, fell from the gang
plank and was drowned. A couple OF
days after the boat had left Port
Costa part of mans leg, inclosed
in a pair of trousers, was found and
turned over to Coroner Curry. He
concluded that the remains" were
from the body of the drowned sailor
and buried them.
The trousers he kept and notified
Captain Patterson, asking him to
identity the clothing. Patterson
could only say that the trousers re-
sembled those worn by the sailor at
the time of his death. After his re-
turn to the city the captain was sur
prised to receive bill from Coroner
Curry amounting to S7s, alleged duo
for the funeral services of the leg.
Among the items of the bill were;
"Cofin, $40; outside box, IS; picking
up body, $40; opening grave. IS, and
incidental expenses at the funeral,
S14.
Captain Patterson wrote to the
coroner asking for an explanation.
He was told that be would have to
pay the amount or stand suit. Tho
captain says he would willingly pay
the bill provided it was the body OF
his boatswain that had been given a
Christian burial, but he didn't feel
like paying such an amount for the
burial of small piece of unidentified
flesh.
Ship captains acquainted with the
facts say the coroner is one OF the
boldest pirates they have heard OF in
modern times.

CRIPPLED TURKEYS.
Provided with Crutches by q California
Poultry Raiser.

Poultry Raiser.
Captain Bridge, of Shasta county,
Cal, who has an extensive reputation
In that district as cultivator OF
high-class poultry, has developed q
very philanthropic spirit toward his
wards.
Recently he noticed a peculiar dis
ease spreading among the turkeys.
1t exhibited itself by o gradual
swelling in the legs from the thigh,
or the/ 'ime-honored and much-re-
spe drum stick" SO popular
among youngsters about Thanksgiv-
ing time. 1t spread down the legs,
and in few days the turkey unfor-
tunate enough to be afflicted was I'M
able to walk with that proud, naughty
step SO frequently employed by this
royal bird.
The captain found that by regular
hot water applications the swelling
could be reduced, but this manner OF
treating was SO slow that the patient
was compelled to lead life of idle
ness, much to his disgust At times
the captain would have several OF his
latest birds in the hospital, and it
required almost all his attention to
give them the hot water treatment.
This state of affairs went on for some
time, when finally he was inspired to
introduce little Yankee ingenuity
into the flock, and being rather handy
with his pocketknife, he fashioned q
crude pair Of crutches about seven
inches in length and secured them
under the turkeys wings They
were just fraction longer than the
birds legs and every timc/ths rheu-
matte would take a steI coward the
crutches would be brofght into play,
and progress, insteadPtt being torture,
was pleasure.
In few tours the cripples became
familiar with the new order Of things
and were able to hobble around at q
more Hpid gait.

THROWING OUT HINTS.

John Was Rather too Urgent and Per-
sonal to BE Successful.
When Geosgia father found out
that his son John was sparkling GER
tain farmers daughter for a year or
more without settling any question,
he called him out behind the stack
and said to him:
John, do you love Susan Tinker"
81 guess do, dad"
Sand does she love you?"
"That's what I dunno, and I'm
fraid to ask her."
"Well, you'd better throw out
few hints tonight and find out. It's
no use wearing out boot leather un-
less you are going to marry her."
That night at 10 ocloc k John was a
wreck. His face was all scratched
up, his ear was bleeding, his hat was
gone and his back was covered with
mud.
John! Johnl What on airth is
the matter" exclaimed the old man,
laying down his paper.
"Bin over to Tinker's," was the re-
ply.
"And-and-"
"And threw out few hints to
Susan"
What kind o. hints?"
"Why, told her I'd been hoofng it
two miles four nights out of week
for the last year to set up with her
while she chawed gum and sung
through her nose. and now l reck'
oned it was time for he r to brush her
teeth and darn up her stockings, cure
the bile on her chin and tell the old
folks that we're engaged"

soled. 1t took the whole gasted fam.
lily, including Susan, two hired men
and three dogs and then wasn't

IN THE HEART OF A TREE.
A Lock Of woman's Hair That Farmer
Flint Discovered.

Lock Of Woman's Hair That Farmer
Flint Discovered.
David Flint, who lives near Pike,
N. Y, chopped down maple tree at
the roadside opposite his homo the
other day. The tree, owing to its
great size, has been for years land
mark in that vicinity. 1t was sixty
feet high and four feet in diameter.
In splitting up the great logs the
tree made he found in the butt log,
five feet from the lower end and near
the heart of the tree, q lock of soft,
dark brown hair foot long. One end
of the lock was in hole three and a
half inches deep and half an inch in
diameter, into which it was fastened
by an oalen pin which had been
driven into the hole.
Ninety successive rings or layers OF
wood in the tree had grown over the
hair and the pin, showing that they
had been driven into the tree ninety
years ago, when the maple was less
than q foot in girth. The lock OF
hair is as glossy and with as much
apparent vitality as IL IL hau just
been severed from the head that
bore it.
The opinion among many Is that
the woman whose hair Is thus so sim
gularly brought to light after nearly
O century was the victim Of some In
dian massacre and had been fastened
by her hair to the maple while her
captors tortured her. The more like
" theory Is, though, that the person
to whom the tress belonged was a be-
lever in the superstition Of the early
pioneers that certain maladies could
be cured II the sufferer had lock OF
her hair driven into tree, fastened
by an oak plug and then cut of, pro.
vided the patient thereupon walked
away from the tree to the eastward
and never looked at the severed lock
again.
