The Perilous Plight of Soldier in Chi ksx nese Thibet.

The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi tss nese Thibet.
 F> An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob 'bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by a rope bridge. The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

Kleptounania.

To believe French writer, there are
 no fewer than four thousand women
 caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were Russian duchess, a French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As a rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of a round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

A Pathetically Humorous Story Told or
 Cumberland Mountain Fafmer

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story ot a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack A few dollars, with which to buy par of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlf- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When l did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came out to the fence.
 s'Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long" :.
 "You must be doing well?'
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 ''I'm always glad to help, if I can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, butt ez long ez Tn doin' ez well ez am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?''
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 'No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n I ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
DIRECTORS HOLD AN INFORMAL
MEETING.
Arranged for n Regular Meeting to
Be Held Next Wednesday Night
Secretary CoIborn Calls Attention
to Some Important Matters.

President Auerbach presided at a
meeting of the directors of the cham
Der of commerce last evening, the first
ficers were selected. Owing to the
fact that many of the members were
engaged, a full attendance of the direc-
tory was not to be had, although the
requisite number of persons forming a
quorum were on hand.
The evening was spent in prelimin-
airy work. A large meeting will be
held next Wednesday night, at which
all the directors will be present, and
plans of action were discussed last
night.
Secretary Colborn said some action
should be taken by the chamber to
secure the next meeting of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. This
city could secure the same without
any trouble. This was one of the
largest conventions held in the coun-
try There were never less than a
thousand delegates in attendance. The
hotel bills of the delegates would alone
amount to $4,000 because the conven-
ton usually sits for thirty days. He
believed the bringing of the convention
meant at least SZOO,UUU 10 the city.
There was the meeting of the fire
chiefs of the United States and the
trans Mississippi congress to be con-
sidered also.
The chair stated that measures
would be taken soon to make proper
preparations for all these events.
The directors are planning for a
large increase in membership and have
a scheme which is in course of pre-
paration and will be perfected by
Wednesday evening next. 1t is anti
cipated that in a very short time the
membership will reach 500 active per-
sons.
AS yet this plan is in an embryo
state, but the details will be arranged
in time to present to the directory on
the date stated.
Every member is expected to be
present on Wednesday evening at s
