While freight train was lying at .
small mountain station in Montana the
engineer borrowed a shotgun and started
ont for hunt. BE was about starting
10 return to his train when q cow made
her appearance. Before he realized that
there was any danger the animal made
rush at him. and he ran with all his
speed. But the COW was better racer.
and in few minutes caught him by
the clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air. Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind tree, and
then, to his dismay, found that the gun
barrel was bent 80 as to be useless.
The next ten minutes were very live
ly ones. The cow chased the engineer
round and round the tree, and when he
got chance to hit her with the gun
barrel 1t only seemed to enrage her the
more. It was only a question Of time
when he would succumb to fatigue.
when diversion occurred which saved
his life. An angry snort was heard, and
a big elk appeared upon the scene, head
down and prepared for fight. The COW
was SO mad by this time that she was
ready for anything, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other The engineer watched the COM
bat for a few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make retreat
in safety. He never knew the outcome
of the battle, but the presumption is
that the elk was the victor. r.-Bozeman

applause, the health Of Mr.. Robert Bonner

The Ghost objected.

A Star reporter on a correspondence trip
had occasion to stop all night In West
Virginia cabin, where he had been enter
tanned year before. The cabin at his first
visit had faced the road; it now occupied
a position at considerable distance from
the highway and faced the other direction.
When asked about the change, the owner
Of the cabin said:
"Had ter make 1t. Dad made sech q fuss
bout 1t my wife lowed we'd hev ter

the ole man in his lifetime, an she didn'
like bein pestered by him 90 var after he

"How was that?" inquired The Star
man.
"Waal, the house ulster be hyar fore thar

led i'm over yonder by them oaks. The
road war cut through an we moved the

The TRADE IN AUTOGRAPHS.
whims of Collectors That Affect the Valu
of Signatures of Celebrities.

whims Of Collectors That AfFect the Value
of Signatures of Celebrities. 81
A considerable trade in autographs of
celebrated persons is carried on in New
York, though the great international mar
ket for valuable autographs is London.
There are autograph as well as stamp col
lectors, and there are autograph as well as
stamp brokers. The trade in old, rare and
valuable postage stamps is much better
systematized than that in autographs, and
fluctuations In price of the latter are in
/ consequence much more general. Auto
graph collectors usually secure the sigma
lures which they seek at private sale
| through the intervention of autograph
dealers, but occasionally there Ia public
auction sale, and then new set of quota
tions is established The prices are in
variably higher In cases Of DECEASED per-
sons, whose supply Of autographs
| fictitious posthumous ones Of oourse-is
necessarily limited. The value put upon
| signatures Of living persons by collectors
auctuates greatly. The autographs Of q
distinguished actress or singer, for in
stance, such as the late Adelaide Lillian
Nelson, Parepa Rosa or Pauline Lucca,
would be in much demand while she was
public favorite, but the demand for them
would, as it has done, decrease after her
retirement.
At public auction sale of rare and val
liable autographs in London some years
brought $40, or $50; an autograph of Ben
jamin franklin, Sc, or $50, and one of
Washington Irving So, or $40. At the
same sale an autograph of Walter Scott
brought SIT apd an autograph of Robert
J Burns a18. The caprice Of collectors of
autographs was shown by the fact that a
signature of George Eliot and one of Queen
Elizabeth brought the same price, Eli, or
$55. The autograph Of Lord Nelson
brought 811 and Of Thackeray a6. An
autograph of Schiller brought a6 and Of
Riohelieu G5.
At an American sale of autographs a
few years ago the highest price obtained
was $50 for the signature of Roger Sher-
man. The autograph Of Napoleon I
brought $S1, that'of Thomas Jefferson SO;
Andrew jackson, $3.50; Aaron Burr,
$3.50; Benjamin Franklin, $22; Patrick
Henry, $S; James Madison, $3.50, and
Davy Crockett (suoh is fame), So. 45. A
signature of Washington at the same sale
brought S.. An autograph Of Benedict
Arnold (date 1772) was quoted few years
ago at $40, and one of Martin Van Buren,

striking signature of John Hancock, first

His Hat Spoke.

A certain painter who died not long
ago was a broken down wreck in his
later days. Some feeling of pride and
shame olung to him to the last, how
ever, and although he lived upon the
charity of his friends he never asked
for money outright. In the crown of his
hat be pasted this request, Please lend
me a quarter" printed in big, staring
letters. When making a call, he would
doff his hat with much show Of dignity,
and there would be the mute appeal
staring in the face his intended victim.
The scheme never failed. San Fran

TAKE CARE OF THE CHEST.
And the Rest of the Body Will Take Care
Of Itself.

"Take care of your chest, says q

of your body will take care Of itself.
The chest is the chief thing to be remem-
bered. Keep it we'll raised and your head,
spine and shoulders will involuntarily
assume their proper positions without
any effort on your part. The cry from
parents and teachers used to be, Throw
your shoulders backl' But this mistaken

rect posture It is all the chest, and its
elevation or depression will regulate the

A senator,s cam For water.

When a senator wants drink of water,
he wants it badly. Mr.. George was talk
ing the other day and stopped in his speech
long enough to hurl command at one Of
the pages;
"Bring me some water hereP
He was talking about grass seeds, and
the subject must have been dry one, for
before page could reach him the senator
shouted at another:
"Give me little water herel'
By this time the galleries as we'll as the
pages learned that the senator from Mis-
sissippi was athirst. Still the page did
not appear. Then, in desperation, the
senator threw out his arms in most
pleading manner and exclaimed:
sis there any water about here any.

This outhurst called forth storm oi
laughter from senate and galleries. The
senator joined in the laugh himself in g
few minutes. This seemed to quench hit
thirst, for he didn't touch his glass o.
water for five minutes after 1t reached
him. WASHINGTON Times.

HIS VIGILANCE REWARDED.
The Story Of Man who Was Prepared
For Footpads.

1ur NuutU4u4s
There is q man in Buena Park who
has always been afraid of being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he decided
that he would prepare himself to defend
his property and person If attacked. So
be purchased reyolyer-not an ordi-
nary revolver, but long barreled one,
the sort the cowboys carry out west.
For several nights he carried the gun,
and the assurance with which he walked
no doubt frightened the footpads, for
they left him unmolested. He was
pleased with the sense Of security he felt
from the humping Of this weapon
against his leg, and his fears were quiet
cd until one night not long ago.
The sidewalks were slippery. and he
was picking his way along toward his
home, when man bumped against him.
The offender was profuse in his apollo
gies as he struggled to regain his foot
hold. st
"It was purely accidental, assure
you, SIR said he Certainly, certain
ly," replied the Buena Park man, "no
harm done," and they separated.
A moment later he felt for his watch,
it was gone. Then he felt for his gun
it was safe, and its size and weight gave
him courage. he turned and started on
the run in the direction tho man had
taken, and before he had gone block
overlook him. He grabbed him by the
collar with his left hand, and, sticking
the pistol in his face, commanded him
to give up the watch.
"All right, all right; don't shoot, y
said the trembling man, as he handed
out watch, and, breaking away, rar
down the street as fast as his legs would
carry him.
"I'll teach you footpads q thing OF
two," shouted the Buena Park man, but
there was no response, and putting tht
watch in his pocket he started TOWARD
home. At each step he grew more ani
more indignant at the state Of society
that permitted such criminals as pick
pockets and footpads. and when b,
reached home he was very angry.
"What makes you look SO ferocious?'
were his wife's first words.
"Been held up; fellow took m!
watch, but got il back again, he said
"What are you talking about? Yol
left your watch at home this morning,
said she as she took from his pocket tn
watch that belonged to the other man.
The Buena Park man is still adver
tising for the owner of that watch. =

Removed His Teeth to Say ouaoks.

Old Mr.. Starr of Williams county made
an earnest speech in the Ohio house of
representatives Wednesday in opposition
to the Kimmel bill, regulating the prac-
tice of medicine. During his remarks he
attempted to say "quacks, but the word
got lost in his false teeth. After several
frantic attempts to get the word out Mr..
Starr angrily yanked the teeth out, In full
view Of the house, and slammed them
down on his desk, remarking, "I'll jest
throw them teeth outl' The house
shrieked with laughter, but in spite Of the
speech the bill passed. The lone vote
against the bill was that of the man who
threw away his teeth. Chicago Tribune.
