Hall to the head of Emma street no less
than twenty-eight or thirty of these
trees of paradise may be counted, all in

enthusiastic tourist remarked.

Ethelbert Mciuire WINGED as Myrtle
Hathaway spoke these words-eruel,
bitter words that seemed TO scar his

STEER, NEGRESS. LITTLE MAN.
Curious Combination Which Causes Ex-
citement and Fun.


An aged negress, weighing nearly
200 pounds, a small white man and a
Texas steer created considerable fun
and a little excitement the other after
noon at the stock yards.
The negress, with red nubia over
her head. was ambling slowly towards
the banl, building when suddenly
some one raised a cry wild steer
was loose.
A moment later a big-horned fellow,
with a crowd of horsemen after him,
plunged vest on the thoroughfare to
wards Halsted street
All who could made plunge for the
high fence, but the negress could not
climb and the steer seemed to have her
in his mind as he was cavorting to
wards her.
To climb the fence was for her a
physical impossibility, while the
chances of being thrown over it were
good.
Just then a little man ran down the
sidewalk. AS he reached the colorcd
woman she seized him by the shoulder
and turned his face toward the steer.
The big animal halted and looked at
the pair. As the steer turned, so did
the woman turn the little man, who
kicked to get free. Just what made
the steer take water no person knows,
but after looking for a moment he
walked AWAY and was soon a flor d,.ix,
en- into "A pen.
Once sure she was free from danger
the colored woman released her hold
on the little man and walked away. AS
she climbed on the walk in front of the
bank she said to the crowd: "Tell you
what, boss, was determined that man
would die first. t."-Chicago Tribune.

JAPANESE GIRLS CHEW.
But They DO Not DO 1t the Way Ameri-
can Lasses Do.

If japanese girls know nothing about
kissing, they certainly can come up
with our western girls in the art of
chewing gum. ! was dining one even
ing with some friends in tea house,
and, as is the custom there, we were
served by a number of japanese girls.

The girl laughed, understood, and
opening a piece of tissue paper care
fully folded in her pocketbook, she
showed me small pieces of-red sea-
weedl This is what they chew. But
n japanese girl does not chew as they
do here Her pieces Of gum are small,
and do not fill her little mouth to the
utmost. She does it slowly, quietly;

DIGGING FOR GOLD.
Peculiar Character Seen Once In
Awhile in Washington.

Awhte in washington.
An old man entered leading hard.
ware store in Washington and bought
some blasting powder, says the Wash
ington Star. His white hair hung low
upon his shoulders, his beard dropped
far down upon his breast. lie looked
like veritable Rip Van Winkle Just
awakened from his slumbers. 1t is not
often that he comes to town, and when
he does he leaves as soon as his supplies
are purchased. Up in the mountains
the old man has a cabin where he has
lived alone for many years, raising
barely enough corn on the rocky land
he owns to sustain his existence. For
half century he has been digging for
gold, and from time to time enough
has been found in little stream near
his cabin to stimulate his search. But
there has never been sufficient for
opening up a tunnel and the old man
has been digging one for 50 years. He
works alone, for he is afraid TO confide
his secret to any man. From morning
until night he digs, and when a rock
is reached that has TO be blasted he
buys all the powder that the money
he can raise will pay for, and when
that is gone must wait until another
crop can be raised TO procure new
supply. The old prospector will not
live to make many more trips to Wash
ington and it win probably never be
known whether the washings of free
gold he has secured from the stream
came from vein in the mountain
where he has yainly spent his life or
not.
