nrisplaced Sympathy,

Passing down a quiet street in
Belgravia the other evening some
thing dark in the middle of the road
attracted my attention. 1t appeared
to be either o cat or a dog. My in
terest In the creature was aroused
when a hanson cab came dashing
down the street, which the animal
did not seem to hear. I shouted to
it, but the thing did not move.
Neither did the oabby take heed,
bat drove straight for it.
was horror struck, death in any
form being very terrible to me, and
q sickening feeling came over me Us
I heard its ribs crushed under the
wheel. I walked into thsroad, part
iy to see if the poor thing were quite
dead, partly to 9 what animal it
really was. I bent down to look at it
and was surprised to find it appar-
entity still alive.
A closer examination, however,
proved it was the wind that caused
it to stir, and / had been moved al
most to tears by what was not a
cat nor a dog, but nothing more
than on old broken umbrella. Lon.

When the Negro Was Created.

The Mexican Indians, as we'll as
those of most Of the Central Ameri-
can republics, have a superstition to
the effect that the negro was made
before either the white man Or the
Indian or even before the sun was
created. They account for his color
by declaring that he was made and
dried in the dark. Their own race,
they say, was made in the morning
of the first day between daylight
and sun up. On this account they
delight in a term which they apply
to each other and which signifies
dawn people" The white man,
who fears darkness and cannot
stand heat" was made, according
to their belief, at noon on the first
day Of creation ST.. Louis Repub-

A Little Adventure with a Bear.

A party consisting of Councilman
Rummelin, F. Henshaw, Guy Will
lis, w. j. Matthews and others, who
went over into the Nehalem ooun-
try fishing, had a fine time, and be-
sides killing lots of fish saw several
deer and nearly scared a bear to
death. They met bruin at the sharp
turn in the road and quite surprised
him. A bird dog with the party ran
at him, and he stood up and took in
the situation. He looked as big as a
barn door, and his coat was as black
as jet and shone as if oiled with
bears grease.
After looking over the party and
seeing no one who suited his fancy
for breakfast he jumped on a big
log by the roadside, and farming to
take another look Matthews let him
have a couple of cartridges of bird
shot in the face and eyes. He fell
over backward as if dead, probably
from establishment, and then jump
ed and started to u off. He ran
against a big tree and knocked him
self over and then ran against a
windfall, which stopped him again.
The boys thought they had him
sure; but, although apparently blind
ed, he got a move on himself and
went down into a deep canyon, where
the underground was SO thick that
the man who followed him with a
rifle could not see a yard ahead and
so was afraid to follow him farther.

STAY IN PARIS AND "Don EUROPE.
The Happy Thought Of an Ingenious but
Artful Frenchman.

The Happy Thought of an Ingenious but
Artful F~renchman.
An artful and ingenious French
man in Paris, with a well developed
and subtle knowledge Of the frailties
and vanities of the travelling public,
has hit upon a plan that will place
many American dollars in his pocket
and at the same time permit those
who 60 abroad to practice innocent
impositions upon their credulous
friends and neighbors on their re-
turn.
His method Is a simple one, and
yet when adoptedin connection with
a careful reading of Baedeker or
some other guidebook Is one that is
almost certain to mislead the "folks
at home" and give n an appear
anoe of having travelled much, al
though he may not have gone to
any other place on the continent
than Paris.
This thoughtful provident French
man has laid in an excellent stock
of those innocent and heretofore
truthful t~elltale pastors that all
travellers cherish and delightin hav-
ing stuck upon their trunks and
boxes in places far from home. They
are exact reproductions of the past
ers or labels most in use at railway
stations and hostelries in the various
countries abroad, and these for a
mild consideration he will apply to
any article of baggage that a travel
er may have. The tourist selects The
labels, and he does the rest.
With enough Of these stuck about
Unfortunately, to be used in evi-
dence, and a slight knowledgeo of the
places thereby indicated, CLEANED
from a guidebook, deception is made
easy and a reputation for having
"done" Europe can be cheaply gain
ed.
This industry is a new one and
bids fair to meet with great success,
as tales of foreign travels like those
of fishing adventures are seldom
confined to the niceties of truth, and
it is not considered any more i'm
proper to stretch a point in telling
about one than it is in telling about
the other.
! The scheme was first made known
on this side on the arrival of steam
, ship the other day. A vivaoious
young woman who had been abroad
. with some friends was met at the
steamer by her brother, who looked
after her baggage.
After the customs officials had
tumbled the things in her trunk
about as the law requires her broth.
er noticed the many pastors upon it.
l He expressed surprise that she
. had been to so many places during
/ her short absence and remarked that
( she had said nothing of many Of
! them in her letters.
She laughed heartily at his re
3 mark and told him that they had
nearly all been. been puton in Paris
l "It only cost me 4 francs and lots Of
0 others had it done, too," she said
She then stated that she could have
? had plenty moro had she SO desired
= as the man had all that any one
could wish.

t filled "a long felt want" and here

ritualistic practices. "For instance, "

ciRCUMSTANTlAL EVIDENCE.
why One Man Has No Faith In the MOST

CfRCOmSi AN il8I
why One Man Has No Faith In the Most
Convincing Kind.
In the party were several lawyers
and two business men. The discus
sion turned upon circumstantial evil
1ence. Ono of the party said:
II would eve convict a man
upon oircsmstantial evidence If /
were in the jury box. Even if it was
of the most convincing kind l could
never bring myself to convict, for
there Is an experience in my own life
which / can never look back to with
out a shudder, and only the hand of
Providence, l believe, saved me from
the gallows, although l would have
been entirely innocent"
The other members of the party
saw a story in sight and waited ex.
pectantly. The speaker said:
when ! was a boy about 10 years
old, I was employed as clerk in a
hotel in a town up on the Canadian
border. I was a sort of chore boy
around the place and did q little of
everything. The proprietor of the
place had a son about my own age
who was inclined to assume an air
of command that nettled me. He
and I had our boyish fights and
often came to blows, but were never
angry long.
"Adjoining the Office of the hotel
was the barroom, and the entrance
was through a swinging screen door.
When the bartender went out fol
dinner, I used to go in and tend bar.
One day the proprietor's son and ]
had been having it pretty hard, and
Twas mad. The bartender called tt
me to come in as he was going out
started, and as I passed through
the door I turned and called to thu
proprietor's son that I was getting
tired of his bullying, and that if HI
did not let up some day I would xii
him. The bartender heard me, bu
only laughed.
AFTER he went out I started rum
maging through the drawers ant
found an old pistol which, had seer
around the place for months ant
which I thought was unloaded
While I was working OF it the pro
prietor's son came in. There wa
not another person within hearing
Ileveled the pistol ct his heart an
said,~'T told you ! would kill 20
some day, and now I am going to d
IT. I intended to scare him, and
did it, for he turned white as
sheet and threw up his hands t
shield his face.
AZ intended to snap the trigge
Just for fun, but just then q canar
bird hanging over the bar began t
sing. I said testify, We don't wan
any music at this funeral, and lex
eled the revolver at the bird an
pulled the trigger. There was q fas
and a report. The bird was shot OF
of the cage in q bleeding bundle

my original impulse I should hav

ances had been given as testimony
would have believed that it was a
