TRICK ON A DRUMMER.
The Boys Filled His Hand Grenadas
with Turpentine.

1t was into the small town of New.
nan, several years ago, just after the
invention of chemical hand grepades
Tor extinguishing fires that Young
man strolled with yalse full Of
'btse globes to sell TO the good people
OF the village. Eyes, sir" he told the
crowd that gathered around him, "a
half dozen Of these will put out
whole house afre. The grandest in
yention Of the age. In few moments
gentlemen, | shall get numbers of dry
goods boxes, set them afire, and then
show you the workings of this remark
able fire extinguisher." Now, New
nan is famed the world over for the
astuteness of it's practical jokers The
valise had been left under a tree n
the public square while the drummer
went for the dry goods boxes. An
idea Of genius took possession OF some
man in the crowd. He whispered to a
friend, the friend laughed inconti-
nently and ran over to the drug store,
coming back presently with four
gallon can of turpentine The
grenades were snatched from the va
Use, uncorked, and filled as fast as
these wicked men could pour the tur-
pentine into them. They had just
completed their task when the ex-
hibitor returned on a dray piled high
with shoe hOYes
Now, gentlemen, he said with
busy air, lust be patient and weIn
start the circus" 1t was difficult
matter for the crowd TO be patient, but
the exhibitor came to the conclusion
that there never was such an inter-
ested gathering.
The boxes were heaped high, straw
was piled about them, and the hand
grenade man wiped his brow OF the
dampness of ardor and touched
match.
NO" he said, mot yet Wait till
she gets little higher. | want TO give
you a good test"

shouted, taking up one of the grenades
and hurting it into the midst Of ING

a great flame shot up twenty feet ihto

With that he seized half dozeI
and hurled them in quick succession

threw his entire stock into the mias'
of the boxes. and when he had coln.
pleted the task and stood pale eha.
grined and aghast, great shout wen
up from the Newnanites, and one u
the best of the practical jokes II
which the town is famous had pesN
successfully performed. Shortly any,,

over a score or more of sketches he
picked one out, and laying it on a Ia
BILE, said: Now we come to a different
type, and quite a common one, too.
One glance at these show that they be-
long to the typical New York girl
the girl who knows how to dress we'll
and is vain of the fact. Her vigorous
constitution and general good health
is apparent. The soft cures show
that her life has been an easy one and
happy. Trouble has imprinted no
lines or wrinkles in that girls brow,
but there are dimples in her cheeks,
her eyes are bright and her mouth is
a tife more than the average allot-
ment of feminine vanity, and she is
probably the belle of her set. Her
father is we'll to do, for her boomers
are OF brown broadcloth. While she Is
happy, healthy creature, it is not
probable she would be success as the
wife of poor man, or that she would
stand up we'll under the strain Of adj
versity. Love of flnery and the little
niceties of life are so much part of
her that she would be an entirely diff
ferent woman If she had to do without
them"
Picking up another rough drawing,
he said: Nov, here Is another type,
and quite an ordinary one, too, al
though persons not as familiar with
boomers as am, might not see any
thing particular about them. But it is

They also show that she has an
abundance of energy and that Il is
misappIied. That lady must have ex-
perienced many sorrows, possibly the
loss of all her relatives, for there is
not one affectionate wrinkle in those
boomers They have an intellectual
look about them, however. and she is
undoubtedly we'll read. The fact that
she wears them evinces determine
tim on her part to keep abreast of
the times, but the way she wears them
shows that she is handicapped by ma
ture. Those boomers mean all right,
but the execution is all wrong"

BillsticLing Extraordinary In Paris.

Paris has ON q coat of many colors. Its
walls are covered with the professions of
faith, in all hues and tints, of candi-
dates for the town council, the govern
ment alone having the right to stick
white bills. Eighteen hundred billstick-
ers have been at work night and day.
They only take snatches of rest in the
offices of billsticking contractors, where
they throw themselves to sleep awhile
on piles of placards.
They start out in shifts of six or seven,
and before they come back placard from
300 to 300 bills, trying wherever they can
to cover over the bills Of hostile candi-
dates. Each member Of each shift earns
5francs for every $50 that he sticks. He
makes during the war of placards, which
lasts three weeks, about 25 francs day
and night.
The paste pot with which he is sup
piled contains A pounds, enough to stick
1000 bills, the weight of which is 9
pounds. One of the gang carries q lad
der. There are 600 candidates, for each
of which about $4,000 bills are stuck.
This uses up 1900, 900 of them and $780,
900 kilos of PASTE Besides this placard-
ing each candidate sends round to the
electors in addressed envelopes profess
sion of faith and voting tickets. Nine
teen hundred persons at francs aday are
engaged in writing the addresses.

DR.. Mary Walker is preparing to leave
this locality, disguised with New Hamp
shire and her governor. DR.. Mary has
been possessed with conviction that
the man executed for the murder of
Christie Warden was not Almy, but one
Abbott, and that he was innocent of
murder. She has haunted the statehouse
for nearly two weeks trying to see Gov
ernor Smith. Yesterday he hastily gave
orders for Mary to be admitted. She ap-
peared. For more than two hours she
talked and then was compelled to stop
because of exhaustion. She then went
back to her hotel. The executive said
he would take the matter under advise
ment. This morning DR.. Mary was told
it was too late to take any action regard.

Rules For Admis to the Fair.

Passes which bear indication of hav-
ing been tempered with are to be taken
up. Children under years Of age will
be admitted free, provided they are ac-
companied with parents or guardians.
II the little visitor is not carried in arms,
the gatekeepers must direct that they
pass under the wings of the turnstiles.
The gatekeepers are made the judges of
the children's ages. If a child's general
appearance and size indicate it to be old
err than years, the official is empowered
to deny it admission. The gatekeepers
are instructed to exercise great discretion
in this matter.
Besides the Photographic passes, trip
passes and special press passes, there is
another pass called complimentary
card. This pass will be issued in the
name of the person to be admitted and
will be good only on the day of issue,
When such card is presented, the gate
keeper must insist that the holder de-
post with the pass one of his personal
cards. If the visitor is unprovided with
such card, the official will furnish a
blank card and pencil. and the holder of
the pass must write his or her name
thereon. This is for the purpose of Sc
curing some sort of Identification. No
deviation from this rule is permitted.

A Enrfunata Find.

An auction sale took place here yester-
day which developed peculiar feature.
The goods put up were at one time
owned by Joseph Gaydos and Andrew
Yankofslsi, who were killed last week in
the Stockton colliery. Yankofski was
the more fortunate in having two BROTH
ers in good circumstances.
No one thought that Gaylos possessed
money. In order to defray the funeral
expenses his effects were put up at auc-
ton yesterday. Everything had been dis
posed Of excepting an old picture. The
picture was common painting, worth
probably 20 cents when new, and was
covered with dust.
No one seemed to want it. A little
nephew of the deceased happened along
about that time, and seeing some one in
the crowd bid cents for it. 1t was
knocked down at that figure. The pic
ture was given to the nephew. The little
fellow fastened home. While showing
it to his mamma S. goldpiece dropped
on the floor. A further examination dis
closed the fact that it had served as a
bank for the savings of the deceased un-
Gle. Tucked in between the frame and
the picture was found bag containing
$500.
The money, besides defraying the fu-
neral expenses, was like providential
gift sent to the relief of the sister, who
was in actual want.-Hazleton Cor. Phil

Nude Art at tho Worlds Fair.

A good deal Of very excellent satire
has appeared in the press concerning the
unwillingness of the Chicago fair man-
ayers to exhibit drawings from the nude
model submitted by the pupils of a
school of art in Philadelphia. Other
things being equal, we should hardly ex-
pect Chicago to be sitting in Judgment
on the morals of Philadelphia. Philadel-
phia in this case has found many cham
pions in the press of the east, and Chica-
go has been very skillfully and very pun
gently rebuked and instructed as to
what may be decently done in art
schools. Yet something is to be said for
Chicago, and it will do neither Philadel-
phia nor New York any harm to hear
and heed it.
No one who knows what the drawing
of the human figure requires will now
dispute that study from the nude Is the
only way in which adequate knowledge
and skill, both in observation and execu-
ton, can be acquired. But does it fol-
low because such studies are necessary
that they are proper objects to exhibit to
a miscellaneous crowd Of visitors2 For
orr part we have our doubts and very
serious doubts. In the studio and the
classroom peculiar conditions exist, the
most potent of which is the intense oc-
cupation of the minds of the students in
their work, and another the general rec
IGNITION of conventions, which, to say
the least, are not those of the ticket hold
ers to the Columbian exposition.
Drawings that it is not only well but
indispensable to make, and which may
be interesting and instructive on the

room, cease to be instructive to the eyes
of the chance visitor, and. to put it with
as much reserve as possible, become in
teresting from quite other causes.-Har-

He was a little man, but his firm.
quick step and erect head showed that
he weighed 16 ounces to the pound and
had all the confidence Of q man weigh

He stopped on the corner till street
car came along and stepped aboard.
The car was full, and several people
were standing. He took hold Of strap
and looked over the crowd and saw that
several women were standing while a
number of men were occupying comfort
able seats.
1t riled him to see it, and when his
eye fell upon pale faced little woman
holding on to strap, while large,
lazy looking man sat near by, he could
not remain silent.
"See here" said he to the big man,
"here is lady standing while you have
a seat.
"Yes," said the big man.
"Well, don't you think you ought to
give up your seat to this woman, who
has probably been hard at work during
the day."

"You don't?"
II do not"
"Well," said the little man as he
braced himself, II do, and am going
to yank you clean out of this car"
He grabbed the big man by the collar
and proceeded to drag him off the seat,
but was interrupted by the woman, who
grabbed him by the hair.
Hold onl' cried the little man.
"That's what I'm doing" said the
woman.
"But mean let up ON this What do
you mean by attacking me?"

didn't ask you to get me seat. Besides
I want you to know that man you have
hold Of is my husband. F"

and the woman let go her hold on the
hair, and order was restored, but the
little man was quiet until he reached
the end of his route, when he left the
car, when he was heard to mutter,
