Anyone who has lived In southern

"well, Tn tell you about il" he said,
shaking his fst at the disappearing
maiden. II had just got new wheel,
and it was a beauty. and me and the
girl went out in the country near Ken
sington to SEQ some kin people OF hers.
She had an old secondhand wheel that
wasn't worth g. dollar, but she rode it
like it was q 5000 trap. There was a fine
bit of smooth road leading Up in . curve
to the house, and we went up that like
pair Of royal nibs, anu created sensa-
ton. Later in the day was sitting up
in front Of the house. and pretty soon
I heard o scream down the big road,
and 10 and behold you, there was the
girl, with the red skirt she wore, max
ing fine target for big brindle bull.
and he was coming head down, like he
was in the ring In old Madrid.
II didn't know anything to do. not
having Gatling gun or one OF those big
1s-inchers, except to jump on my wheel
and go down to meet the girl, which /
did just in time, for she was so bad
scared she couldn't do much. I sup
pose the bull was hundred yards be-
hind her, and in I sailed to attract his
attention. But his mind was On that
red, and he wouldn't change his course.
so saw that I'd have to try to stop him
with my wheel or tell the girl good-by
and go to town for q hearse.
$50 got a good hold of it, and as the
bull swept by I showed the wheel at
him any cid way, for wasn't any bull
fighter or toreador. or that kind Iwas
lucky, though. or the girl was, for tho
bulls horns caught in the spokes Of
the hind wheel, and it tripped Mr.. B.,
sending him forward on his head and
getting him 50 tangled upin the spokes,
chains and handle bars, that when he
did finally get on his feet the girl was
in a safe place, and so was I, and the
bull looked like he had been out all
night in q cyclone with barbed wire
fence"
Here the yonug fellow, stopped and
sighed profoundly. .
THAT was my nice new bicycle" he
concluded. like a wall, ''and the darn
girl never shed tear when she rode
back to town with another fellow, and
I came in alone ON an electric car. You
bet the next time" but the reporter
absolutely refused to, record what he
said.-Washington Star.

PRUSSlAN AMBER.

Tho Speciality Of the Baltic Coest-Ricked
Up on tho Beach.
Amber IS specialty3of the Baltic
coast of Prussia and the British consul
at Dantsic, in his last report, states that
it is a monopoly worked by a firm
which paid for the concession to the
government last year royalty Of about
$4,000. 1t is calculated that the firm
has, up to the present. paid S 100000
In these royalties. Last year, in addi-
ton to the product Of the mines, C good
deal of amber was picked up on the
beach at Pillau, in the province of East
Prussia, having been washed up with
the seawrack during the prevalence OF
the northwesterly gales. The shore at
Pillau after n storm is sometimes COW
cred with layersof seaweed three feet
thick, in which the amber is found en-
tangled. Men. women and children
find easy and lucrative employment
In searching for the amber along
this part of the coast. After a
storm last year one man was
lucy enough to notice piece Of
amber the size Of child's head in the
weeds near the shore, and with some
difficulty secured it, having had TO dive
for il. The people engaged in this pre-
carious work sometimes earn e1 los a
day. The raw amber that goes into
Dantsic to be worked up is nearly all
melted to make lac and varnish. The
larger pieces are made into beads,
which are sent all over the world and
are known as Leghorn corals. Therei is
q great demand for them. Amber
mouthpieces and ornaments, especially
necklaces, some of which are very
tastefully put together. are said to be
gaining in favor abroad - London

Bile to all the people who go in and out

The Farnam street depot site has been
pronounced an ideal site by eminent
railroad engineers. 1t is the site that
will best satisfy the patrons of all the
roads. The Farnam street site, more
over, has been officially declared after
full discussion and careful investigation
by the State Board of Transportation to
be the proper place for the location of a
union railway terminal station. What
ever opposition may have been made
to this site has come from parties in
the immediate vicinity of Mason street
and does not represent the sentiment of

ideas within the past ten years. In all

Issuing S5.OOo,OO0 of stock and $4,000
