this Is the great leading trait Of the

This constant hurry and eyer-present

A band Of bare-legged and leather
lunged newsboys were "shootin' craps"
in City Hall Park the other night when
one of them caught another cheating.
The two, after raucous argument, set at

'Kiggy, here comes de cop!'
When the party reassembled In
Spruce street both combatants stripped
and went at it tooth and nail. When
they grappled the others pulled them
apart. Both finally clinched with a
desperation that defied unraveling and
fell squirming to the pavement, where
they swore between gasps at the others
who trod upon their heads. Presently
one of them writhed from the other 8

"W'y, dat bloke bit a chunk out O. me

AKnosticism.

There a be nc hope apparently Of
laying new foundations for a rational
theology in any direction excepting that
Of the study Of the universe and Of hu-
mainly as manifestations of the supreme
power, in that spirit of thoroughgoing
intellectual honesty Of which Huxley is
truly said to have been an illustrious ex-
ample. That we are made and intended
to pursue knowledge is as certain as
that we are made and intended to strive
for the improvement of u estate, and
we cannot tell how far or to what reve-
lations the pursuit may lead US. If reve-
latiOn is lost to US, manifestation re-
mains, and great revelations appear to
be opening on our view. Agnosticism is
right if it Is a counsel of honesty, but
ought not to be heard if it is a counsel
of despair.-From "Guesses at the Rid

Birds S.un Sour Cherries.

Birds are said to have "a sweet tooth
as we'll as members of the human fam
lily and can tell Il sweet cherry from a
sour cherry better than the average boy,
who is supposed to know more about
cherries than any other creature. They
certainly let alone the soul class of
cherries, as the Morellos are usually
termed, when they have the chance Of
f~oraging on the sweeter kinds. For this
reason the MOrello, or "pie," cherries
are much more popular around cities
where birds and boys are likely to be
troublesome. A point not generally
known is that these trees usually grow
as dwarfs, but make quite large trees
when grated on the Mazzard stock.
They grow dwarf and are very produc-
tive when grated on the Mahaleb. If
not quite as productive as when grown
on the latter, the fruit is much finer in
every respect, and for this reason as we'll
as from the fact that they make larger
trees they are more popular for the sit

Deadwood dispatch, 9: An attemp

Deadwood dispatch, 9: An attempt
was made last night to burn the state
normal school at Speartish, and it was
only through luck that the building was
saved. George Russ, the ~janitor OF the
building, attended a picnic Saturday,
and when he returned about 3 o'clock in
the morning discovered the front doors
of the normal building on fire. The fire
was extingulshed without much trouble,
the only damage being the burning of
the doors and a large hole in the floor
just inside. Thorough investigation
fails to prove the origin of the fire, butt
has been established beyonu a doubt
that it was incendiary, as no fire OF any
kind had been left in the building. The
damage was repaired and the school
opened this morning for the new year.

Reaped the Advantage OF Being Dead.

A we'll known Italian poet hit on a
neat plan for securing the distinction
that m from death. without the
pains. He published a striking volume
If lyrics, affixed an unknown name to
it, and in a Mandatory preface told of
the bard's wretched life and early un-
timely taking off. even pointing out for
the benefit Of admirers the position OF
his tomb in a certain cemetery. The
book had all the flavor of genius pei ish-
ed in its young promise, and secured a
big sale, a deluge of sentimental tears
being shed by countless damsels over the
dead singer. And when the deceased un-
known was secure in his posthumOus
reputation and had raked in shekels
enough to make the publication a good
thing on the business side the we'll
known poet came ont with the confess
sion that no such young writer had ever
existed. The name vas a pen lame
adopted by himself. The bogus death
was a device he had invented. The sue
cess of his peculiar log rolling caused a
sensation, arOu-lng Indignation or
amusement, as 1t happened, but on the
whole vastly helping his wv selling
powers. -HartfUrl COurant.
