swimmers in general, and Miss Sheehy
promptly retorted in kind. Repartee was
exchanged laughingly for few moments,
and at last Miss Josie said unguardedly:
Il wouldn't be afraid to jump in just as
I am now"
Il dare you," said Callan, adding, as
Miss Sheehy hesitated, I'm bet you $25
you dare not
The bet was promptly accepted, and the
whole party returned to the swimming
school. Despite his offer young Callan had
some difficulty in putting up his part of
the stakes, but the $50 was finally placed
in the instructors hands and Miss Sheehy
removed the pretty little hat, that being
apparently the most highly priced part of
her costume. One of the attendants swan
out into the tank to be in readiness in case
of emergency, but he might have saved
himself the trouble. The plucky young
girl tripped lightly to the gallery, which
is Is feet above the water, and poised her
self for moment. Then she brought the
tips of her fingers together above her head.
The next moment there was a swish of
skirts as she dived, followed by splash
as the trim figure struck the water. The
diver rose gracefully to the surface and
with couple of long strokes reached the
steps, up which she climbed laughingly to
claim her $50. The money was turned
over and one of Miss Shelby friends was
dispatched for dry clothing.

HOGUiSH LITTLE MlNCH,
Tho Trick by Which the Famous RAGS
Horse Got His Name.

Horse Got His Name.
Many stories are told of Little Minch.
the race horse, which indicate that he
is remarkably sagacious animal. Some
would assert that he is capable of rea-
soning, but horse fanciers are liable to
distort instinct and pure ROBUSTNESS
into reason and sagacity. 1t is said that
while this son of Glenelg was being
transported east after his sale as year
ling he was given nickname by a rail-
road engineer that was subsequently ap-
piled to the horse. and under it he won
his laurels. Little Minch's car was at
tached to the front end of a passenger
train. and the bellrope passed through
it. the same as it would through pas
senger car. The horse was playful, and
after several unsuccessful attempts to
seize the rope in his teeth the spiteful
little youngster finally got the cord and
gave it lusty jerk. The bell in the en-
CINE cab sounded, and the engineer, fear
ing something was wrong back in the
train, made haste to shut off steam and
apply his airbrake. After coming to a
stop he waited for the astonished train
men to come up to his cab. They de-
MED that any one had pulled the cord,
and the engineer passed the occurrence
with the remark, Maybe the rope
caught and frightened while we were
going around curve"
But the mischief loving Little Minch
was having a lot of fun in the car. No
sooner had the train got under Roadway
again than he again seized the bellcord
and gave it another jerk. Once more
the engineer came to stop, declaring
that the bell ringing was the work Of
tramps, but search for the ride steal
ers failed to reveal any. and the train
proceeded. With almost human rOgu-
cry Little Minch again seized the
rope, but he was not content with one
jerk, and the way he pulled that rope
was caution. The enraged engineer
slipped back in time to see the horse
Juggling at the roHe, which he had bit
ten in two by His efforts, as if his life
depended upon his ability to tear it out
of the train. ooh. you little minch! So
it was you, was it?" cried the engineer.
And the horse stopped and hung his
head much as guilty hoy would have
done. The story was retold many times,
and the animal was named Little
Minch.-Chicago Tribune.

Simple Diet,

A woman who writes for newspapers
said the other day in the course of dis
custom on modern cookery: II have
family of three growing boys as well as
a hungry husband to cater for, and my
experience has been that can do 1T
most effectually on the simplest diet. l
do not mean by that unpalatable food
or that which is poorly prepared. l
mean good deal of steaks and chops,
with well prepared vegetables. | have
no time myself TO see after the affairs
of the kitchen, and cannot afford to
hire what is called fancy cook, but
| have come to the conclusion that my
family thrives best on what is thus
given them, substantial but not rich
nor varied dishes. At any rate, they
are always well and strong and happy,
and what more can ask than thati"-

A Gallant Rescue.

Here is very charming cat and dog
story for the truth and accuracy OF
which the proud inhabitants of the
Swiss village where it occurred quite
recently are, one and all, ready to vouch.
A troublesome cat in the village had
been doomed to watery death, and the
children of the owner had been told of
to take it in a sack to the river Aar and
there to drown it. The house dog &C
companied the party to the execution.
which was carried out according to
parental instructions. But, much to the
surprise of the inmates, short time
after the cat and dog, both soaking wet,
reappeared together at their owners
door.
This is what had happened: The dog,
on seeing that the sack containing the
cat was thrown into the river, jumped
after it, seized it with his teeth. dragged
it to the bank, tore it open and restored
his friend the cat to life and liberty. 1t
goes without saying that the death war
rant of the cat was destroyed after this
marvellous escapade.-London Million.

A WoodchOpper's Vision.

A chopper in the Kilkenny woods re-
Iates a story that he implicitly believes.
This is his narrative: Il was at work
for Van Dyke, at Connecticut Lake.
The night was dark and rainy, and the
wind howled and moaned in the tree
tops. went to bed, as the whole camp
does, at o'clock that is, the lights
are blown out at that hour, as is the
rule in camp. Directly opposite my
bunk was a small window that one
could see out. l could not sleep and
kept rolling and tumbling.
II think | must have got into sleep,
for I was awakened by light shining
into the window, and woman's face
appeared as if looking in. l am sure
it was the corntenance of my sister, who
died in Quebec two years ago. Strange
to say. was not scared. The light dis
appeared, and then again it sbone in.
This time the woman's hand appeared
at the window, reckoning me to come.
l got up and pulled on my trousers and
went to the door. By this time the wind
had stopped blowing, the rain had ceas-
ed, and the moon shone through the
clouds at times.
standing near the woodpile was my
sister. I recognized her now. stepped
toward her, but she motioned me back,
saying, Joe, don't work tomorrow, and
vanished. / saw no more of her that
night. The next day l staid in camp,
and before noon Bill was brought in
dead. A limb had fallen and broken his
skull. He and worked together. My
sister has come to save life once since.
BOYS, this is Gods truth. "-Mancbes-

THE CENTURY MARK.
A NUMBER OF AMERICAN COLLEGES
HAVE PASSED IT.

Now Bowdoin Is Preparing to Celebrate
Its Centennial of That vener-
able Institution-Its Present President.
Many Famous Graduates.
If ancient and historic surroundings are
aids to scholarship, our American educa-
tors may felicitate themselves that many
Of our eastern institutions of learning are
acquiring the mellowness Of age. More
than a score of American colleges have al
ready passed the century mark. Only q
few months ago Williams college celebrated
It's centennial, and now Bowdoin is pre-
pairing to observe with proper ceremonies
its one hundredth anniversary. Bowdoin
was the first college in Maine. The prof.
ect of establishing college there had
been under discussion prior to the Revolu-
ton, but 1t was not until the year 1888
that actual steps were taken toward its
foundation. Maine was then and remained
until 1890 part of the commonwealth Of
Massachusetts,, and 1t was to the legisla-
ture Of that state that the association of
ministers and the court of sessions for
Cumberland county applied in 1888 for q
college charter and grant Of lands.
The charter was granted June "a, 1894,
together with five townships, as founda
ton for the college, but it was not until
eight years later that the first building was
erected and the first class admitted. The
Institution was named in memory Of Gov

They Bottle Their Tears,

The Persians are the only people in the
world that still adhere to the old custom
of bottling tears. In that country it con-
stitutes an important part in the funeral
ceremonies performed over the dead. Each
of the mourners is presented with sponge
with which to mop the face and eyes, and
after the burial these are taken by priest,
who squeezes the tears into bottles. Mourn
ers' tears arc believed to be the most ef1-
cacious remedy that can be applied in sew
eral forms of Persian diseases. The Gus
tom of bottling tears is mentioned In tbs
Bible. See Psalm lvi. 8.

To A Higher Court.

Mr.. John Chapman is dead. He
was taken sick last Friday evening
ana died Saturday afternoon. lie
was last seen on the streets Friday
afternoon and complained Of feeling
badly. lie went home and laid down
to resi-. Between and 10 O'Clock his
wife was attracted toward him by his
his heavy breathing. She quickly
summoned a doctor who found him I'M
conscious from which he never recov-
cred.
Mr. Chapman was one of the best
known men in the city and was uni
versally liked. His health has not
been good for some time. AS is
known 20 all our readers he was presi-
dent of the Hutchinson national bank
at the time Of its failure, and at the
tim of his death was out on bond.
No one acquainted with Mr.. Chapman
will believe that he ever will
fully wronged anybody. While Mr..
Chapman was fully aware Of this con-
lidence the people had in him, yet he
brOoded over the odium that has at
tached itself to the affair of the bank,
that he simply worried himself into
the grave. No doubt the extreme
warm weather was a cause that as
sisted in his untimely death.
The funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon under the auspices of
the Masonic order of this city. Thus
ends another chapter in the history OF
the Hutchinson National Bank.
