The Hole Was LoadeA.
From the Philadelphia Record.


With a 'tamping rod between them. John
McCafferty and Michael Reese stood over q
hole In the rocks on the Wood street grade
between Leverington avenue and Centre
street, Manayunk. yesterday. Several kegs
Of powder and a large quantity Of dynamite
had been lowered carefully into the hole,
which had been drilled for a blast. The
return Of weather mt to permit outdoor
work had made the men more cheerful
than they had felt for a week. and they
were chatting each other as they gently
rammed the explosives down. A score of
other workmen were busy all about, and a
crowd of spectators were watching the
work.
"a fcine day, Moike. It be afther the
rain" said McCafferty.
That it be. John" replied Reese.
"Ef this shtuff sh'd go up. whered we
uns be?' asked McCafferty.
A sudden, sullen roar. loud explosion, a
rending and splitting of rocks, was the an
swer to the odd question. The two men in
'tamping' the explosives had struck fire
they were flying high in the air amid a
shower of two tons Of rocks They came
down with 1t all in a heap, and the flying
fragments struck several Of the spectators.
None was seriously hurt, however.
AS McCaTerty slowly picked himself up.
twenty feet away from where the hole was,
he exclaimed: Are yez HURT. Moike?"
"Oi am that, my lad" replied Reese from
his hard resting place. BE yez aloive.

THE BOYS IN BLUE BEATEN.
Anson's Team Never in Yesterdays
Contest.

SOhteSts
Mr. Arson and eight other pale blue
knights Of the diamond from Chicago were
taught thing or two in the art of ball
playing yesterday afternoon. Their in
structors were nine members Of the Wash
ington club. The course Of instruction con-
sisted Of object lessons In pitching. hitting
and base running. The instructed were
very attentive. and the instructors may to-
day realize that there is such q thing as be-
ing too magnanimous.
That time works wonders was never more
clearly demonstrated than in yesterdays
game. Just twenty-four hours and fifteen
minutes prior to that game being called
Mr.. Maui, he Of the smile and strong, de-
ceptive arm. discovered that his arm had
run down. or that its handspring had been
broken. or that there was dust in it's works.
Yesterday afternoon the aforesaid arm was
in working order. That fact might have
been due to an injection or an electric bat
tery. but to whatever 1t was due. It never
worked better than on yesterday. and the
home team again stepped into tenth place
and the visitors took eleventh
When Ward stepped to the plate In the
first inning he found Bert Abbey, one Of the
pitchers, secured by Arthur Irwin for
Washington two years ago, In the box for
the visitors. Scoring began in the second.
Tebeau hit to center, stole second and then
Radford banged It over second, Tebeau
scoring. Ward hit to Arson and Paul
scored Ward reaching first by a great slide.
Abbey hit over second in the third. stole
second. took third on McGuire's sacrifice
and scored on Selbach's hit to Irwin,
Schriver dropping the throw.
No more runs were made until the fifth
inning. when Abbey hit over Lange's head,
reaching third, scoring on McGuires hit
between third and short.
The next runs came in the inning follow
ing. Radford's grounder to Parrot took a
lucky bound. and Paul was safe. Then
Maui sent 1t to the center field fence for an
easy homer. The hit was at once dubbed,
the longest ever made on the grounds" Of
course. as all home run hits are termed.
but It was not. Just the same. 1t was q
screamer, however. and Mr.. Maui was ap-
propriately applauded.
In the same inning the lanky lads from

they kept 1t up, a run an inning. to the
close OF the game. Two Of their runs. how
ever, were gifts, Mcclure declining to come

The Little Rodent.


Cleveland MoYett in McClure's Magazine
One day Philadelphia, wishing to test the
affection popularity supposed to exist be-
tween a lion and a mouse. put O mouse in
the cage Of a full-Grown Nubian lion. The
lion saw the mouse before he was fairly
through the bars, and was after him in
stantly. Away went the little fellow, sour
rying across the floor and slueakins in
fright. When he had gene about ten feet
the lion sprang, lighting a little In front Of
him. The mouse turned and the lion
sprang again. This was repeated several
times. the mouse traversing a shorter dis
lance after each spring OF the Hon II was
demonstrated that lion is too quick for
mouse. at least in q large cage Finally,
the mouse stood still, sQuealing and trem-
blirg. The lion stood over studying him
with interest. Presently he shot out his big
mouse. but SO gently that the mouse was
not injured In the least, though held fast
between the claws. Then the lion played
with him In the most extraordinary way
now lifting his paw and letting the mouse
run a few inches. and then stopping him
again as before. Suddenly the mouse chang
ed his tactics. and. instead of running
when the lion lifted his paw, sprang into
the air straight at the lions head. The lion,
terrified. gave a great leap back. striking
the bars with all his weight. and shaking
the whole floor. Then he opened his great
jaws and roared and roared again. while
the little mouse, still squealing, made his
escape. OF the two the lion was the more
frightened.
It is a fact well known In all menageries
that q mouse will frighten an elephant
more than will a locomotive. Let one ap-
pear in an elephants stall. and the ele-
rhant, his mountain Of flesh quivering. his
trunk flashing the air, will trumpet in alb
ject terror: and he will not recover for
hours afterward. The trainers say that
what the elephant fears is that the mouse
will run up his trunk. There is a tradition
that a mouse really did this in one instance
while an elephant was sleeping. and caused
the elephant such intense pain that he had
to be killed.
