LAYING ON THE LAST STRAW.
The Horse May Now Be Seen Led on the
street by a Bicycle.

The Horse May Now Be Seen Led on the
street by a Bicycle.
The horse has been getting the worst
of it" for some time. First he was
found to be edible and was made into
sausage and canned and sold in steaks
and his hide made into cordova. Then
electricity took away the work of his
old age-pulling street cars. And now
the bicycle has further restricted his
sphere of usefulness by depriving him
of pulling the Sunday young man and
his best girl on their afternoon drives.
Livery, which was his exclusive field,
has been adopted by the impertinent
wheel, and now, in the next stall to
the horse, is the glistening bicycle,
which needs neither oats nor bedding.
Then, too, they have shared with him
and the bicycle the honorable epithet
"steed," and the gaudy wheel, with its
noiseless, sneaking rubber shoes, is
called the noble iron steed," etc., ad
nauseam. The future Of the horse is
indeed dismal.
The crowning insult, however, went
unresented the other day. Down
Grand Avenue, says the Kansas City
Star, rolled man on a wheel, leading
a fine, sturdy, middle-aged horse, in
the prime of life and usefulness. The
horse logged along after the wheel
with his head hanging dejeetedly and
shamefully. He evidently realized his
degradation, but was too hopeless and
heartsore to resent it. And lovers of
the horse, mans intelligent friend and
companion, looked after him plying
ly and wished he would back up, pull
the man off the wheel and dance on the
machine-but he didn't.

STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
Some Instances of the Efficacy OF Obeying
Queer Orders.

Some Instances of the Efficacy Of Obeying
Queer Orders.
The London Spectator lately had q
clever article entitled 'The Tyranny of
Coincidence" The example shown is
/ of lady who was driving outside of
Athens. When the horses were halted
one of the team refused his oats. The
Greek coachman insisted that the
horse was under spell. The young
English lady had an "evil eye." The
man told Miss Symonds to spit-that
was the only cure. The young woman
was forced to go through the unlady-
like performance, and at once the horse
took to his feed. 1.-The coincidence
rivited the chains of superstition upon
the driver tighter than ever" Many
condolences of similar character
must occur to the reader. Here is
case: A child was told to put four
leaf clover in his left shoe, and was as
sured that he would be sure to find
something" The little boy did so, and
had hardly moved out of his tracks In
large grass-grown pasture before he
found an old half-dollar of an ancient
date, evidently lost years before. The
child was not superstitious, and FORUM
ately the parents were not. The matter
of coincidence was explained to him,
and among other things he was plenti-
fully supplied with four-leaf clovers,
but he never found anything. The
origin of superstition associated with
amulets or any material objects must
owe its being to just such condolences.
Among those who are not educated it
may be that the tyranny of coincidence
does exist, but it should not hold with
those having sound minds. We all
have, however, dark chamber in our
brains, and it is there that the owls
and bats of superstition flap their
wings,

brought heaven to the child and home
to her protector.
Standing by the child, watching this
tender death scene, with weeping eyes,
stood kind lady. a well-known regu-
lar hospital visitor. With little trouble
she, taking full advantage of the young
mans softened state of mind, obtained
full account of the first meeting be-
tween himself and the child, and so
pleased and touched was his fair inter-
viewer that she Immediately, with the
delicacy of all noble women who love
to do good for their Savior's sake,
practically aided him, and shortly
afterwards was the means Of obtaining
for him a position which soon gave
him just claim to mix in the society
of those VINO, on very brief acquaint-
ance, recognized in him a chieftain
and man.
But though years have passed since
the Christmas day of which I write,
and he is still going higher up in the
good will of all who know him, tears
will rush to his eyes, a sob rise in his
throat as he tells you show he lost. his
Christmas dinner-S6.

TRICKS IN HIGH DIVING.

Experts DO Not Run as Many Risks as
Most People Suppose.
What bothers most people who think
anything about the subject" said Kear-
ney p. Speedy, high diver, who, &C.
cording to the New York Herald, began
his public career by jumping head first
from the St. Louis bridge four or five
years ago, sis how dive of fifty or six
ty feet can be made into tank of thir-
ty-six inches of water. You see they
confuse diving with bridge jumping
quite different thing. Bridge jump
ers are neither jumpers nor divers
they're droppers; that is, they reach
the lower rods of the bridge truss and
drop feet foremost into the water. The
trick is to maintain the perpendicular.
They must have plenty of water under
them, too. The high diver, as you have
seen, makes a clear dive, head first. just

top Of circus tent all summer into a
tank but seven feet wide and into water
but three feet deep. The shallow water
dive is possible from the same principle
that a cannon OF rifle shot meets the
most resistance the more powerful the
impact. You see, give my body and
head slight inclination upward at the
instant strike the water, which causes
me to pop out as a board would do or
an oar on the feather. / learned this
trick in the St. Louis natatorium when
a boy practicing in shallow wafer and
from greater height. Then there is a
certain elasticity in the water known
to the high diver, but the trick is in the
strike and turn, for water will break
bones and crush chests, as many man

SOMETHING ABOUT COINS.
If They Are Plugged OF Worn They Havt
Little Special Value.

II They Are Plugged OF Worn They HAZE
Little Special Value.
As viewed from numismatic stand
point it is the condition of coin which
fixes it's value. 1t is not the date or
age, except in less than thirty instances,
that is sought for at the big quoted
premiums. Pierced, plugged, badly
worn, scratched coins, or those on
which the dates are ilegible, have no
particular value.
A perfectly-uncirculated cent of 1899
would easily bring $1oo, whereas good
cent of the same date can be purchased
for $40.
For gold there is but limited numis-
matte demand, and the supply is great
ly in excess of the demand. The double
eagle of 1s4s is worth about $500. All
gold dollars are at a premium, and
worth from $1.20 to s1.40 each. Those
dated 1863, 1864 and 1865 command from
$3.50 to $4 each, and 1873, %.
Most numismatic transactions are in
silver coins. A dollar of 1904 is worth
$500; q half dollar of 1897 brings $40, and
a quarter of 1927 commands $40. The
dime of 1904 is the most valuable, being
worth $40, and the half dime of 1902
easily holds the record at $63. A large
copper cent of 1899 would bring S25, and
a half cent of 1896 is in demand at $50.
A thin silver half dime of 1902 was
bought by its present holder for 500,
and has been sold at SIS.

AN ENERGETIC NEW WOMAN

She Can Make Her Way in the World and
Look Out for Herself.
81 don't take much stock in these new
woman IDEAS" remarked a man from
south Georgia the other day, according
to the Atlanta Constitution, ''but saw
one to-day would like to have in my
corn field in fodder season to pull fol-
der. Say, that woman was James D.
She saw street car about a block and
half away and made up her mind to
catch it; and she did begosh. She made
plunge for It and whistled for the con-
ductor to stop the concern. The con-
ductor didn't think she would ever
reach the car and consequently did not
stop. But that woman was one of the
up-to-daters, and she had different no.
tons from those of the conductor. She
run like rabbit, and it wasn't long be-
fore she had planted her tiny foot upon
the step of the retreating car.
"I felt disposed to applaud her for this
feat, but about that time she reached
up and pulled the bell cord and stopped
the car herself.
THE conductor and motorman looked
up in astonishment. I simply want to
wait for my dog to catch up she re-
piled, to their inquisitive glances.
Now, all have to say is this-that Il
that woman is a new woman, we need
more of them to run this country. We
need them particularly in the corn
fieldso

OSTRICH WANTED A SMOKE.


He Swallows the Lighted Cigar, to the
CONSERVATION of His Keeper.
There was a performance in the os-
trich departments of the syndicate shows
the other day, says the Tucson "a. t.
Star, which had not been advertised.
1t took the place of the strong-man fea-
ture which was advertised but didn't
come off. Sammie Hughes was stand
ing near the ostrich conservatory max
ing scientific study of the birds and
smoking a freshly-lighted ten-ceDt
cigar. An ostrich suddenly heightened
his neck about foot and removed the
cigar from Mr.. Hughes mouth and
swallowed it, fire and all. The length
of an ostrich's neck furnishes wonder
full opportunity for lighted cigar, and
it burned every inch of the way to the
prompting of his indiscriminate appe-
tite. A gentleman connected with the
show in the capacity of chambermaid
for the ostriches saw the cigar disap-
pear within the birds bill. He accused
Mr.. Hughes of having made voluntary
contribution and. uttered language
which was neither moral NOT polite.
showing that the spiritual training of
this great educational menagerie is not
what it is cracked up to be. He threat
ened to eject Mr.. Hughes from the prem.
ises. Mr.. Hughes tried to explain that
he was the chief loser by the transac,
tion and that the whole thing was an
affair between himself and the ostrich.
Deputy United States Marshal Ezekiel
also began to say that the ostrich had
brought the trouble on himself. The
Snowman pushed Mr.. Ezekiel aside, and
the officer was compelled to exhibit his
gun as his badge of authority. In the
meantime the cigar had been extin-
guished in the birds gizzard, and he
seemed to have forgotten the episode
of the cigar and was looking longingly
at an empty soda-water bottle which
lay on the ground just out of reach.

Broke jail at Condor.

Last Monday Bill Smith, confined In
the Gillian county jail at Condor,
awaiting the action of the grand jury
on a charge Of obtaining money under
false ptetenses, made his escape and
has not been recaptured. The Globe
gives the following account of the de-
livery "Sheriff Wilcox was at Fossil
at the time, and had Gene Smith en-
gagged to feed the prisoner. When
Gene took his supper to the jail at
about 7 o'clock he found the outside
door of the corridor standing open at
the hinge side and the prisoner gone.
He had taken off the eight taps from
the large iron hinges from the inside
of the door. and in order to push the
door open he sawed or cut about a
dozen nails that held it to its place by
board. How he got hold of tools to
do the work is mystery, as it does not
seem possible that he could have taken
off the taps with his hands, or cut the
nails without chisel or saw.

DON'T SHOOT SOLID SHOT.
ARTILLERY Has Abandoned the Use OF That
> ProjectiIe

ARTILLERY Has Abandoned the Use Of That
ProiectiIe
The use of solid shot in warfare has
been practically given up. The pro-
jectile of to-day is conical shell of
steel and sometimes loaded with powder
so as to explode, or by time fuse: 1t
is wonderfully different from the shell
of twenty-five years ago, says the Wash
ington Star. In those days one could
watch the projectile as it sailed through
the air in a graceful curve, at length
bursting. There was even time to get
out of the way, under favorable circun-
stances. But the new style of shell
moves at the rate of a little more than
half mile a second. In striking
metal target, its energy being trans
formed instantaneously into heat, it
becomes red-hot, and flame is actually
seen to burst from the point struck.
Such projectile moves, one might say,
in straight line, and its impact at
distance Of mile seems almost simul-
taneous with the discharge of a gun.
Such shell, passing near man, will
tear his clothes off, merely from the
"AaNea5S' IL AZ SOAllEo 'SA AlSeAt SAooGA
without hitting him, it will kill him. He
drops dead without sign of wound.
Whereas an old-style shell would burst
into few pieces, the modern projectile
flies into myriad of small fragments,
each of them moving with tremendous
velocity. 1t may easily be imagined
that half dozen six-pound Hotchkiss
shells finding their way into vessel
would scatter death and destruction in
every direction. Protective armor,
owing to its great weight, can be placed
only over the ships vitals-that is to
say, along the middle part of the hull,
near the water line, so as to cover the
machinery. In future battles gun
ners will direct their fire against the
unarmored ends of an opposing vessel.
