Why He Didn't Leave.

At the home of a popular girl in
Louisville most uncomfortable half
hour was recently spent by a modest
youth who had called to see her. The
youth is noted for both bashfulness and
nervousness The night in question he
went with friend to the girls house
He took a comfortable seat in a large
armchair, and, as was his habit, soon
began to nervously poke his fingers into
cracks and holes of the ornamental
part of the chair. He showed one finger
il to hole in this manner, but found
to his dismay that his knuckle refused
positively to come back through the
hole. The more the young man worke
to release his finger the harder it be-
came, as the finger become swollen.
The youth was too bashful to mention
the ridic ulous predicament into which
he had gott en- himself, but patiently
bore the pain in silence. He suffered
untold agony for fear that his friend
would go before he released his finger.
Finally the hostess noticed his apparent
uneasiness. The youth with many
bushes then told the cause. 1t was
not until half an hour later that the
bashful youth and the chair parted
company. The butler finally succeeded
in releasing the finger with the aid of
hatchet and chisel, but the handsome
chair is thing of the past. Louis

Army Tents as Ferry Boats.

Some curious experiments have re-
Gently been made with the new tents
which the German soldiers carry with
them. The end in view is to make the
tents, or rather their cloth, serve to
construct ferry boats for the soldiers
baggage. To swim stream in full
accoutrement is not without danger
even for the best swimmers. In fu-
ture, however, the soldiers will be re-
lieved from this necessity by the fold
ing tents, which they will carry with
them. They will collect brushwood
and small branches with which to
weave light framework; the tent cloth
will be unfolded, laid over the frame
work and fastened to it in such man
ner that the water cannot pass through.
The men will then strip and put all
their baggage and accoutrements into
the sail-cloth ferry boats, which will
effectually preserve them from getting
wet. The soldiers then swim across,
pushing the ferryboats before them, so
that they will reach the opposite shore
with all their belongings dry. These
experiments have been made on large
scale by the pioneers on their recently
terminated autumn exercises, and have
led to very favorable results, both as
to the time required and the trout BILE

Effect of Unsound Teeth on Speed.

Many horses, it appears, have imper-
feet teeth, and their owners often fail
to find what is the matter. The IA
nous pony trotter, David L, with rec
ord of 2:194, fell behind for whole
season. An examination of his mouth
showed that two of his teeth were cut
ting him He was operated upon, and
he at once trotted again with his for
mer speed. Rosalind Wilkes, with a
record of 2:1414, was another case in
point. Not until her teeth were re-
paired did she resume her former rate
of racing speed.-N. Y. Sun.
