A CHICAGO TRICK.
But Somehow the Drummer Couldn't Seem
 to Make 1t Work.


 t'I saw queer trick in Chicago the other day, !" said tho drummer as he lighted a fresh cigar and pared his nails with his pooketknife.
 Of course two or three of the group wanted to know all about it, and he continued:
 "One of you let mo have clean $1 bill for q moment An, that's a daisy of bill-just off tho press last week Now, then, l lay tho bill face down ward on tho floor-thus Tho chap who did the trick was not professional jug gler, but he did it with neatness and dispatch. don't say can do it myself, but I'll try. "
 But what is tho trick?"
 "Why, 1 tako my knife and cut the bill lengthwise-so. Then cut it cross wise-so That divides tho bill into four equal portions, doesn't it?''
 Every one in the group answered that it did, and the drummer gazed at the pieces awhile and said;
 ''The trick is to blow the pieces to- gether so that tho edges will unite. The Chicago man did it, but just how couldn't find out. Lots sec. I will now blow An, they do not unite. will blow again
 What in the Old Harry are you try ing to do?" demanded the owner of the bill.
 "Why, I'm trying to blow the pieces together, ;" innocently replied tho drum mer.
 "But you can't do it. ''
 No, 1 see can't Tho Chicago man did it, but Tn not on to tho trick. Hero are the four pieces, and 1 guess you Il have to get bottle of mucilage and a sheet of paper and paste them together Awfully cute trick, but I can't do it. Wish could, but can't. ''
 And, strangely enough, the owner of the bill looked at tho pieces. and from the pieces to tho drummer and back, and then called the drummer double dyed idiot and walked off with the decla- ration that he'd like to punch some- body's head. Detroit Free Press.

Has Fun With His Coffee.

'Some folks can't drink coffee unless it's hot, ]" said Mr. Goslington, land l don't like coffee unless 1t is freshly made and served hot, but l like to drink it through all it's varying phases from hot to pretty nearly cold. l like a sip of 1t, when first poured. without sugar or any milk or cream, when Its aroma is fresh and pungent and com plete and quite unmarred by the admix- ture of any foreign substance whatever Then I put in the usual quantity of sug- ar and of cream, and then you have the cup of coffee in it's highest normal state, and how delightful it isl Then, as l drink it, I add more cream. The TO- mainder becomes ore and more dilut- ed, cooler and lighter and lighter in color. The coffee flavor becomes more and more attenuated but it is neverthe- less keenly defined and it so continues to the end. The last of the cup is only tinged with the color of the coffee. It IS not cold, but nearly so. By contrast with what you have drunk it is grate- fully cool A sip of cream with coffee bouquet, and you set down the cup with a friendly feeling for it for what 1t has contained. "-New York Sun.

A DESPERATE STRuGGLE.
Captain Jack Crawford's Midnight Adven-

S"p'ahh Oack orawford's Midnight Adven-
 ture With an Apache Indian.
 Whom within few feet of where stood, the stalwart savage his eyes gleaming with hatred, lifted his knife and sprang toward me. leaped for ward to meet him and succeeded in grasping the hand which held the weap- on, and with q grip like wise held to it. Ho elinehed with me, and terrible struggle ensued We fell to the ground and rolled over and over in our desper- ate struggle for the supremacy, yet l clung to his wrist, for my life depended on preventing him from using the knife. In our struggle I noted that we were nearing the brink of the precipice, and l hoped we would go over, for death in that manner was preferable to being slaughtered by savage hand, and there was keen satisfaction in the thought that my enemy would die with me. Nearer and nearer we rolled in our fear ful struggle for the mastery, I endeav- bring to roll over the brink, he to pre- vent it, until at last, to my great satis- faction, felt the edge of the cliff begin to crumble beneath me, and down we went
 We struck the bottom heavily, and to my astonishment neither of us seemed to be greatly injured. I fell almost un- derneath him, and i'll a moment he sue- ceeded in getting mo on my back and sat astride of my prostrate form. He had dropped his knife i'll our fall, and seizing me by the long hair near each ear began to beat my head against the ground in an endeavor to stun me into insensibility.
 Thumpl thumpl thumpl my head was beaten against the ground, and an angry voice greeted my ears
 'I'll teach you to grab mo that way and choke me half to doath (thumpl thimpl) and then roll out of bed with me- (Thump! thumpD Whats tho mat ter with you? Arc you erazy?"
 It was my wife. She sat astride of me, and at almost every word gave my head thump against the carpeted floor of our bedroom.
 It was all a hideous dream. In my desperation I had seized her, and we had terrible struggle, finally falling out of bed upon the floor. Captain Jack Crawford ill Home and Country.

 ''I saw him take it, said tho bishop, land intended to charge him with it at the end of the service, but carried away by the sublimity of the service I forgot all about it. Next day I remembered and spoke about it.
 "'Oh, sir, said the old clerk, never you worry about that That half crown has done good service fer many years. I keep it to put down first, and then the gentry, seeing poor man like mo put 2s. Cd. in tho plate. can't for shame give less. "--London Bits.

HER STRANGE PRISON.
Where Cincinnati Man Found Ills Wife
 After a EurgIrry

Where Cincinnati Man Found His Wife After Burglary.
 The construction of city flats is such that it seems as if flat thieves ought to be able to obtain almost unlimited plum der with impnnity. But they are for ever getting caught, and most of them are the lowest grades of sneak thieves Anything like originality in their methods is rare, so the experience of the head of modest west side flat is re- markable. He arrived home from busi- ness about 6 clock and at once observed indications that something unusual had been going on.
 It was evident that thief had been around, and that he had gone away without taking much, if anything, with him unless it was the residents wife, for she was nowhere to be found. The husband presumed that she had gone to notify the police. so he sat down and waited, but after an hour or two he be- came anxious and inquired of the neigh bors
 They had heard or seen nothing either of thief or wife. Then there was trou- ble. The husband hurried to the near- est police station. His wife hadn't been there, and general alarm was sent out for patrolmen to watch for her, while two detectives returned to the house and helped push inquiries.
 The kitchen and dining room looked as if the wife had been interrupted in her work, but there was no other sign of her. The detectives looked very wise, asked many questions that seemed im- pudent to the distracted husband, made some notes and went away.
 The husband was in bad state of mind, but not so upset that he didn t presently realize that he needed food. Rather than go to restaurant he went to his refrigerator to see what there might be to eat. He opened the door, and there, curled up in the ice chamber, was his wife She wasn't hurt. She hadn't even tainted.
 She was simply asleep, somewhat stupefied with the close air and cramp- ed in every joint, but otherwise ill good condition and glad to get out. She ex- plained that she caught thief at work, and that he clapped her into the refrig- orator before she could scream. Once in she could do nothing There was nc inner handle to the door She cried aloud, and finding no response just waited to be discovered dreading all the while that her wedding spoons had been taken. They were not, though. They had been placed, with other yalu- ables, in the center of tho dining room table for carrying off, and the incident ended happily. Cincinnati Enquirer

The Origin of a Story Attributed to Twen-

ty Handsome Women.
 Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, ao- cording to Mir. Sala, in his "reminiscences published recently, the heroine of a story which has been told in at least 20 forms of 20 different ladies of fashion She was presiding at a stall at yente de charite, or bazaar, held in aid of the fund of some asylum or another, when there came up the Duke of Or leans, son and heir of King Louis Phi lippe. The duke, after some polite small talk, began to extol the beauty of her hair, and indeed her Henrietta Maria coiffure had never looked glossier or soft CT than it did this day.
 "Oh, ;" said his royal highness, eff l could only possess one of those enehant- ing ringletsl'
 How much would monsoigneur give for one, <" asked Lady Harriet grayely, "5, 900 franes?"
 ''Five thousand francsl' repeated the duke "A mere bagatellep'
 'Six thousand francs?"
 Anything so charming lady chose to ask. "
 ''I will not be extortionate pursued Lady Harriet. "Wo will say 5000.
 And then sho very composodly pro duced dainty little pair of scissors, shipped off the adorable Henrietta Maria ringlot, wrapped it in silver pa per and handed it with dignity to the duke His royal highness looked very straight down his nose, and returning Lady Harriet's salute stalked some what gloomily away. But his privy purse duly forwarded tho money next day.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Arrangement of T. F. Lyon
 and Wife.
The Husband Fined $25 and ar Agreement of Separation
 Signed Later.

T. F. Lyon, editor ot the Arizona Populist, was arrested yesterday On complaint of his wife charging him with having beaten her. The warrant was issued from Justice Johnstone's court where the defendant appeared later. He denied the specific charge against him but in order to avoid the annoyance and expense of trial pleaded guilty to 8 general charge of committing misdemeanor. This plea was not accepted and he was fined s25,
 The accusation was surprise to even intimate friends of the family. It was learned later though that a friction of long standing existed arising entirely from an unfortunate incompatibility. MT. Lyons denied that he had used any violence toward his wife but said that she had long been suggesting a separa- tion. He also said that she had wanted him to leave, and that while he was not averse to separation he was unwilling to put himself in position to be charged with desertion and so in a divorce suit lose custody of sweet six year old child to whom both parents are warmly attached. He also charges his wife with having threatened to have him arrested for insanity and com mitted to an asylum.
 Mrs. Lyons has many sympathizers won by her friendly manner. She is now stopping st the houssof friend and an agreement of separation was signed yesterday afternoon by herself and her husband. Under the terms of the agreement she has the custody of the children at least until final legal action is taken.

That the Central avenue boulevard has long been sprinkled regularly and kept in good condition as driveway is due to the private enterprise of Col. James T.
