A TUB LOGO YEARS OLD.
Discovered in nm Old Roman Well an
Carefully Brought to the Surface.

Discovered in an Old Roman Well and
Carefully Brought to the Surface.
From the London Times.
My thoughts, when was at the ruins of
Silchester yesterday, were that hundreds of
antiquarians all over the country would
have given gold to any one who should nave
told them of the great find" that was
there. and then to be safely brought to
land. A friend and myself strolled over
from Aldermaston to view the ruins and as
many Of the finds as were still to be
seen. Mr.. Davis, F. S. A, at present su-
perintending the operations, explained to
us how, when digging out an old we'll, he
made the lucky discovery of tunnel which
conducted him to an ancient gate, tho ex-
istence of which had not been before sus-
pected. A windlass had been fitted up over
well eighteen feet deep, and men were
digging out paiifulS Of earth, which were
being diligently hauled up. For two weeks
the work at this point had been going en-,
and within the last week it has been dis
covered that this was old Roman tub
well. The wood seemed somewhat rotten,
as might be expected after LOCO years. so
that the raising Of the tub caused the
greatest anxiety. The tub had been in
geniously fitted by Mr.. Davis with two
wooden shelves running all round it-one
at the top and the other at the bottom,
which both served to protect 1t from any
strain during the preparation for hosting.
After one unsuccessful attempt to bring
1t up, during which a small portion of IL
was knocked off, 1t was triumphantly raised
to light in a comparatively perfect state of
preservation. We expect that the tub will
shortly be on view at the Reading museum,
where there is already e beautiful collsc-
ton Of SIchester relics.

The Old Stage Driver Showed the
Boston Lady He Remembered Things.
From the San Francisco Post
She was from BOSTON and was on her
way to the geysers. She had rendered the
stage driver thoroughly uncomfortable by
throwing great chunks of botanical and
geological Information at his head, and he
had about reached the determination tc
brighten her with stories of highwaymen
till she would get inside the coach, when
some gnarled and twisted oaks attracted
her attention.
e. do you know how old those trees arr? '
she asked and was preparing 10 launch q
whole row of figures at him when he sur
prised her by answering very promptly:
''Yes'm."
How old are they?'
Three thousand and six years"
How do you arrive at such accurate re-
sults?'
'Well, smart young woman from Ros-
ton what knows all about told me they
were 5000 years old, an that was six
years ago, SO they must be three thousand
and six now-goin' on three thousand an

GALLANTRY DIDN'T PAY.

And the Man Who Went to the Rescue
of Woman Got Badly Left.
From the Chicago Post.
After he had bathed his eye in cold water
and put bandage over it, and had used up
a good supply of arnica and court plaster
en- other parts of his anatomy. he consented
to explain what had happened.
you see I've always been a believer in
gallantry," he said, land make it a point
to chip in whenever l see beauty in dis
tress.''
VERY creditable," commented one Of the
listeners.
Don't you believe it for a minute" re-
turned the young man who had tried to be
gallant. '1f there's one thing that a wise
man will steer clear of it's anything in this
rescue line. and from this time on I'm going
to be wise"
Whom did you try to rescue?' asked one
of the crowd.
How in thunder should know retorted
the man who was in need of repairs. DO
you suppose 1 could see anything after got
that? Judging merely by the feeling, 1
tried to walk away with steam roller in
active operation
He was getting somewhat excited and
angry, so no one ventured any assertion for
fear he might shut up tight and refuse to
tell the story.
We'll" he said, at last, you see, it was
just this way: I saw big, husky-looking
brute talking disrespectfully to a mighty
pretty girl, and it naturally riled me. o.
kept telling him to leave her alone. but he
kept Fostering her just the same. and once
or twice he caught her by the arm and tried
to make her go with him, and anything like
that sort of makes a man mad, you know.
1t looked like an easy game to go against,
too, for he was drunk, SO decided to take
a hand In
But he wasn't so drunk as you thought -
suggested the man who thought he could
! tell the whole story in advance.
He was worse than thought"
''Then maybe he was one of those fellows
who fight best when they are drunk
HE couldn't fight little bit, and had
him licked to a standStill inside of three
minutes"
Then where did you get that eyer was
the rather pointed question fired at him.
Just as had him finished" he answered
1.-The girl called me a slob-sided dude, and
cut in with right-hander that blinded me
Then she Informed me that If Jim wasn't
drunk he could lick six of me- and before
could recover from my astonishment She
| landed on my chin. That little girl that ]
was trying to protect from insult and vio-
lence at the hands of big bully did me ur
| in little less than half of one round, and
| then went over and took his arm and led
him away
He adjusted the bandage over his eye
again and limped away with the remark:
whenever you hear of case that calls
for gallantry and courage you let me know
l want to keep away from It,"

A Curious Result of Loud Story Tell.
ing on q Train.


Ing on q Train.
From the Chicago Inter-ocean
1t is curious how things fall out In this
world. especially on suburban trains. One
evening last week party OF students from
one OF the universities began swapping
yarns. First one would take his turn at
telling a story, and then the next would
entertain the crowd for a few minutes
The talking was necessarily loud in order
to be heard above the rumble of the cars
The passengers could hear quite we'll and
not few became interested and laid aside
their papers to listen
Now. I'm going to make mine q war
story, boys" began the third student In q
high-pitched voice.
You know In war times whisky was
scarce and the soldiers resorted to all sorts
OF stratagems to get dram. one day
one of the boys said 20 a friend in another
regiment: Say. ia give you 81 IL you'll
get me half pint Of whisky 'Doner
replied the friend. Give you that whisky
before night But before night one of the
regiments had orders to move, and the
thirsty man was left without the whisky
and without the dollar. Now, the curious
part OF 1t Is that al a reunion thirty years
after the man who was to have had tho
whisky was telling the story to 2 COM
raoe or course he said, laughing, I've
never seen the fellow who promised me the
whisky from that day to this
Just then a man with one sleeve empty
stepped up and said: Weren't you in such
and sucn regiment, and don't you re-
member giving another soldier 81 for half
a pint Of whisky? Yes And the regt-
ment moved off and you never got the
whisky Yes WELL I'm that soldier. and

other matters, but one is forced to the con-
cfusion that IN other departments than mil
HEery there are experimental fashions that
are likely to thrust themselves upon un-
willing women. The clinging cuseedness OF
the princess gown Is here, probably to stay.
The double skirt Is here as a transient,
waiting for q chance to press Its claims
for an Invitation on more assured footing.
Elounces and circulation walk triumphant
ly abroad.
The new sleeve has been new SO long
that the real sleeve at last collapses on self
respecting shoulders. The extremely "un-
assisting mode of a sleeveless evening
frock will present itself as soon as there
are evenings. Night textured cloths like
eastern cashmeres. are replacing the rough
stufs, long beloved. Tinseled cloths costly
and unbeautiful, are getting themselves
bought and paid FOR. The autumn presents.
indeed, more than the usual number of
novelties. all Of which. to be sure have had
many and long advance notices, and yet
have arrived but now. 1t may really be
something Of task to get acquainted with
our clothes.
A Stylish Gown.
A good example of prevailing modes was
q smart outdoor gown seen this morning.
It's material was a corded repp. shot blue
and green. The skirt was probably four
and one-half yards round the bottom, per-
haps q few inches less. 1t was Well gored
SO as to set out from the waist, allowing
only couple of box pleats behind. The
bodice was Joined to the waist, after fash
ion once old, now new again, and was gath
cred to give slightly full blouse effect in
front, but drawn tight behind. Down the
front were two wide pleats, each trimmed
with six rows of narrow green velvet
frogged from neck to waist in pretty pat
tern, while fanciful buttons in blue and
green emphasized the effect OF this odd de-
sign.
A chemisette of cream moussaline trimmed
with lace showed daintily. where the cor
sage opened in front, and the green neck
ribbons were relieved by lace frills. The
waist band was green ribbon velvet. and the
skirt was trimmed with rows of the same,
in graduated widths forming hoops more
than half the way down. An edge of mar
row sable fur finished the hem and the
tight part Of the sleeves. With this dress
was worn a little capote Of green velvet
covered with frills Of shot blue and green
ribbon. A bunch of black ostrich tips and
tall white aigrette finished 1t at the side.
A tailor made princess dress that walked
the avenue was another model worth con-
s.deration. 1t was In brown repp. fitting
like glove and without even the usual
modification of a folded waist band.
band of rich sable fur-edged skirt, sleeves
and high, ruche-like collar The broad hat
of brown felt matched it exactly in shade
and was trimmed with black ostrich plumes.
picturesque coat and skirt costume was
of brown, smooth cloth with fawn-colored
waistcoat and light sleeves. having f1aring
turn over cuffs. ELLEN OSBOftN

BARIEAU's BAD BREAK.
Likely to Lose His Saloon License
Over in Sf0ckfnn

When w. A. Barieau won, or claimed
to have won, $4,000 in Chinese lottery
here about a year and a half ago he
was doing prosperous saloon business,
but in trying to collect his alleged Win
ming he ran up against a push that
threatened to break him up If he per-
sisted in his demand. He persisted, and
he went to the wall
He not only didn't get his So 600 from
the Cinnamon whose. game he had
beaten, but he was sold out of his sa-
loon business. got into trouble with his
creditors, ad had to leave the city. The
Cinnamon declared that Barieaus win
ing lottery ticket was the result of a
conspiracy with someone in their en-
ploy, and having strong pull with GER
tain political managers they stood pat
on their refusal and caused Barieau to
be deprived of some money making
privileges that he had been enjoying in
connection with his saloon.
Lately Barieau has been running a
saloon over in Stockton, and now he is
in trouble there. He interfered the other
day to prevent the police from arresting
man in his place without producing a
warrant, and now the Chief of Police
has requested the City Council to can
eel Barieau'S license
