Ch0mpiOned by a Gamin.

A ragged, barefooted boy, a crossing
sweeper, had doffed his cap to the Ouch
ess IF Sutherland in the hope of recog-
milton, when ne observed well dressed
but rakish looking man following her
across the street, as if trying to force
upon her attentions that We're evidently
obnoxious to her. There was q look of
distress on the duchess face.
''Scuse me, lady" said boys voice
beside her, 'shall punch is 'ead:'
She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:
why, it's Jemnier'
She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was hers,
body and soul. Without waiting for
another word he dashed off and turned
a sort of violent "cartwheel" SO adroitly
calculated that he landed with two very
muddy feet in the middle of the offensive
mans waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover
from the shock, the boy had slapped him
with one muddy hand across the mouth
and with the other had deposited hand
full of the filthy compound on the back
of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the
grasp of policeman, who dragged him
away to the nearest police station. He
was just being charged by the constable
with having committed an assault when
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly
to the gamin and then explained the af-
fair to the inspector on duty.
At her request the boy was set at
liberty, and he staid only long enough
to say to the inspector:

the cab run over me leg."-London Cor.

eooL,No THE BIRDS.


How They Arc Drawn From Thoir Hiding
Places In tho Forests.
have heard young women whistle
beautifully, ,ninicking tho songs of
tho birds, the blackbird and the thrush
particularly. They fashioned simple
instruments by the fireside, which were
easily carried in tho pocket, the whole
lot Of them, with which they mimicled
the calls for the various species. If
they wished to see whether stoat, wea.
sci, crow or jay were about, they would
place their lips ON the back of one hand
and squeal horribly, the cries becoming
weaker each time, exactly like those Of
rabbit caught in trap or fixed by
stoat or weasel.
Crows, magpics and jays know very
we'll what that cry mears. It is a. .
dinner bell to them. for after the stoat
OF weasel leaves n rabbit feathered
company come to cat him. As the even
ing got more dusky the boys would
come out in their gardens, which were
surrounded by the fir woods, to call the
owls to them. They would hiss and
snore like the white owl-the barn owl
-hoot, click and bark like the wood
cwl-the brown and tawny owl-and
squeak like mice for the pleasure of see
ing the owl swoop toward tho place
where tine sound or sounds proceeded
from.
"You bide still an see ef don't fetch
aim in this ero fir close to our gate,
aid one to me. l did "bide still.
being very much interested in the
whole performance. First he locked
his hands together with the thumbs up
right, and into the hollow of the hands
he blew between the thumbs. This was
the hooting machine, and it was simply
perfect. Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo-e, hoOi"
rang ont, the fourth note being longer
than the others. Then followed the
click of the bill, rs the fine bird snaps
it In pleasant anticipation of mouse,
finishing up with the bark when tho
bird springs from his resting place.
All this was done to perfection by
the boy, but the master touches were
yet to come. With a small piece of
twig he ratified ''tick. tick, tick, tick,
tick" like the short patter Of a mouse
on dry leaves, for all mice travel inter
| mittingly--there is a short rush and
then halt for few seconds. No owl
was visible yet, but the bird had got
close when he heard the rustic. AS
the lad squeaked as a mouse will when
lie runs at night, he looked up and
pointed. There was the owl ready for
his mouse. When the bird caught
sight of us, he departed in the same
noiseless fashion in which he had ar
riyed.-St. James Budget.

DELIGHTFULLY."- ROMANTIC.
Stage Held Up and a Maid Carried on
by a Good Looking BAD Man.

a stage Held Up and a Maid Carried Oh
by Good Looking had Man.
.Aronantic case of kidnapping occurred
the other day in the country back of
Mazatlan. The stage between Rosario
and Mazatlan, which left the former
place, stopped at n. NJ. the next day at
Aqua Caliente, where another passenger,
young and pretty girl. was taken on.
She was Carlotta Newman. daughter of
a poor blind woman living at Mazatlan.
There were two other passengers, a man
and a woman.
The stage left Aqua Caliente at 9 "a. m.
and had gone only couple of leagues
when the driver suddenly reined up at a
call from the roadside. where four men
on horseback sat coolly pointing re-
volvers at his head. There was no de-
mand for coin. and from the quiet man
ner of the highwaymen the driver could
draw no idea of the nature of their de-
mands. While one man held a gun
pointed at the driver and another at
tended the horses the others dismounted,
stepped to the end of the coach and
courteorsly requested the young lady to
come out. The girl recognized the larger
man, a magnificent looking fellow, as
Jose VALDEZ. her rejected lover, and d.
vining the plot she begged the passengers
10 save her. Valdez warned them to do
nothing. and as they had no firearms
they dared not protest against the ac-
tions of the bold robbers.
After urging Miss Newman to come
out without avail, Valdez and his COM
panion laid hold of her and carried her
to the horses. placing her upon one and
tying her to the saddle. The girls
sES:eks and tears had no effect either in
Sxfrying the nen or arousing their
snger. When they were again mounted
and ready to leave, Valdez turned to the
driver and said calmly. "Go, friend,
and excuse me for molesting you"
The driver lost no time in accepting
the permission, and the agitated passen-
gers inside did not breathe easily until
they saw the party, with the girl in the
center. gallop over hill. The driver
and passengers reported the matter on
arriving at Mazatlan and gave the
names of Librado and Bernardo Valdez
and RufinO Zatarain as the accomplices
,f Jose Valdez, the first two being his
cousins.
Valdez is dare devil and spendthrift,
and though of good family bears very
bad reputation. He was rejected by Miss
Newman. who is highly respected girl

district Of Concordia, in which Aqua Ca
liente is situated. has charge Of a party

TRAINING BOTH HANDS ALIKE.

think would learn to use my left hand
just as freely as my right one. 30 that
if anything happened to lame either Of
them the other would be all ready to
write and handle things just as freely
IS if nothing had occurred" And un-
doubtedly great many Of US would
learn to use both hands alike if we had
our lives to live over again. Of all the
young women who came under my in
struction while in charge of the School
of Domestic Economy of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural college, not more than one in
twenty-five could sweep properly. The
ratio in this respect of those who came
under my instruction at Purdue univer-
sity was about the same. And as far
as my observation extends this ratio
will hold in regard to women generally.
AS a rule, women, old and young, do
not know how to handle a broom. Their
right hands only have been trained.
Their left hands have been neglected.
When a women takes hold of broom
it is with the right hand near the tor
of the handle and the left hand toward
the corn, and instead of changing and
reversing them as occasion demands
she always keeps them in the same po-
sitlon. Whether she sweeps to the right
or to the left, the position of her hands
remains unchanged. And her body is
contorted and her muscles strained in
the performance of an operation that
would exercise these organs harmonious
ly, if the hands were SO trained that
they could be used at will and were
changed as demanded by the changes in
the position of the sweeper.
l refer to women sweeping merely to
illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training of the
hands in numerous other branches of
women S work that it is unnecessary to
mention, and so far as the use of the
left hand is concerned men are in no
better condition than women. Men and
women are in this respect MANNED and
handicapped alike. Why should such
a state of things exist? Why, in this
age of manual training, should we over
look and neglect the education Of the
left hand and continue to train the
right hand at the expense of the left:
No physician or Psychologist has ever
given sensible reason for SO doing,
and We seem to adhere to the custom
merely because it has been carried down
to Us by our ancestors. Miller
