AMERICANS LIKE HAY.
II They Don't. Why DO They Eat Ii When
ever They Get a Chancc?

II AneF JOA't, " ny DO lhcy Eat IL when
ever They Get a Chance?
'Hello!' said the policeman to the
reporter on East Main street the other
day. The reporter stopped, and the
policeman drew him into 4 doorway.
DO You see that load of hay?" said he.
as he pointed to big wagon standing
near the curbstone. well, if You wan;
to see something funny just watch i
for few minutes"
The two stood there. saws the Roches-
ter Post-EXpress, and soon well
dressed man came along. evidently in
deep thought. He got. opposite the hay
wagon, looked up, stopped, and then
took a piece of hay and went on in
deep thought. Pretty soon a well
dressed business man happened along
saw the wagon, stepped up to it, and
took three pieces of hay. He began t.
chew one meditatively and carried th,,
others off with him. A middlc-aged
woman came near, and she, too, pulled
out piece and carried it with her
Then a pretty girl with blue striped
shirt waist and a straw sailor hat
with blue band came along. and had
nearly passed when she saw the wagon.
and after looking around to see that
there was no one whom she knew
watching, stole over and carefully Sc
lected long, slender bit, which she
carried with much care After that
everybody, from dirty-faccd urchin
with baseball bat to nurse girl with
a baby carriage. stopped and selected a
piece of hay and departed happy. The
policeman and the reporter stood in the
doorway for twenty minutes and
watched the procession.
Strange, isn't it? said the police
man. I've been on this beat for three
months, and I've never seen man or
woman or child pass without taking Il
piece of hay. 1t is not so with straw.
Why, load Of straw could stay there
for whole day and not one person in
five would think of taking a piece l
think that the reason so many people
take hay is on account of the sweet
taste it has, for piece of hay. when it
is in good condition and not too dry. is
really very nice thing to chew on.
People who would rather die than chew
a toothpicll on the street think nothing
of going down the street with long
piece of hay in their mouths as uncon-
cerned. as three schoolgirls walking
abreast. Funny, isn't it?"
The reporter agreed that it was, and
then left. AS he passed the hay he in
voluntarily reached out his hand. and
before he was aware of it he had a long
piece of hay in his mouth He heard
queer noise behind him, and. looking
around, he saw the policeman, pointing
his club at the wagon and then at him,
and laughing. But when the reporter
returned in about hall an hour he saw
a biue-clad figure strolling down the
street with something sticking out in
front of his shoulder. 1t was the po-
liceman, and the reporter smiled as he
passed him. He had big wisp of hay,
and was chewing it like the rest

Ascending Mont Blanc.

1t is an expensive as well as a very
tiresome undertaking to ascend Mont
Blanc. 1t costs at least fifty dollars
person, for by the law of the commune
of Chamouni, each stranger is obliged
to have two guides and porter. SO far
as the danger is concerned it is )w re-
duced to n minimum, but almost every
year the mountain claims a victim. Bad
weather is the chief thing feared by
the guides, and so swiftly does it come
that cloudless sky may in fifteen min
utes turn to binding snowstorm
which beats you to the ground Thus
it was that some years ago party of
eleven persons perished. Five were
found frozen stiff in the snow; the
other six lie buried in the Glacier des
Boissons. Forty years is the time al
lowed for the glacier to yield them up
in the valley below.

A Courageous woman.

AS an example of woman's courage
story of brave school-teacher comes
from India. Miss Lucinda Gore, of
Lackharabad was standing in the
schoolhouse one day, when, turning
round, she saw in the open doorway the
glaring eyes of a tiger. She did not
scream or faint, but seized broom and
drove it full in the tigers face, brush
foremost. Some of the bristles entered
the tigers eyes and with a howl of pain
he drew back to make spring at her.
Then she slammed the door in his face.
The supports of the door were but
slender and would not resist the tigers
attacks long, but, while he banged his
head at it, she lowered one of the boys
through the window to alarm the neigh
bors. Assistance soon arrived and tha
tiger was SHOT.

The Christm as Tree.

The City Hall was crowded on
Christmas Eve by an audience con-
sisting of old and young to be pres
ent at the distribution of presents
from the Christmas Tree and to
listen to the literary entertainment
given by the school children under
the direction Of Miss Winterbottom
The affair was a decided success
throughout. The literary part was
exceptionally good and indicated
plainly the guiding hand of Miss
Winterbottom, who was assisted by
Miss McRae. The tree was well
stocked with presents. Santa Claus
came rushing through the hall at
the close of the exercises, iingling
his bells and shaking the snow
from off his great fur coat as
though he had encountered snow
storm in his travels. He then pro-
ceeded to distribute the presents.
Mr.. Ainslie impersonated old Santa
in good shape. 1t was a very pleas
ant evening.

pleasant one in Bonner's Ferry,

because, as a rule, people have inn
proved their condition and were in
better circumstances-the clouds
are beginning to roll by-and
people enjoyed the day with lighter
hearts than at any Christmas for
the past three years. One of the
events of the week was a grand ball
given by the Knights of Pythias on
Christmas night. The uncrossable
condition of the river kept many
away, but still the hall was crowd

$1,000 worth of jewelry from the stock

from the wall, evidently thinking that
the partition was of wood and could be
broken down, but finding it of brick, they
abandoned that scheme. They went out

which had been used by some workmen in
the vicinity, they placed it at the transom
