a lady passenger, en- route to an
Eastern city, to look out for a
package containing $4,000 which

bered seeing package similar to
the one described and which he
thought contained a pair of over.

A Puzzle in Politics.

In the fusion States alone can
the Populists hope to secure any
Watson electors; and if they car
ried every one of these States
their candidate for Vice. President
would have about quarter of the
number of votes necessary to
elect. And how does Mr.. Sewall
stand in the fusion arrangement ?
lie the fusion ticket wins in all the
twenty-six States he will still lack
forty-two votes in the electoral
college, and it is beyond the
range of probability that he shall
carry all these States. If the
fusion ticket were to be defeated
in Illinois, for instance, Sewall
would find himself sixty. two votes
to the bad; if he loses in Illinois,
Iowa and Kentucky he will have
seventy-three votes to make up.
AS fusion stands today, the ar
rangement seems to count out
Watson before the ballots are cast,
and to make it practically impos-
sible for Sewall to win. 1t is
curiosity in politics. Boston

Useful Gum Chewing.

Even so disagreeable a habit as gum
chewing may once in a great while
serve useful purpose, as witness an
incident narrated by the Chicago Jour-
nal:
A guest was washing his ring in a
washbowl, when the diamond came out
and started for. the sewer. It could be
seen at the tn m i'll the pipe, but was
out Of reach.
The clerk of the Auditorium annex,
in which the accident occurred, ap-
peared on the scene. He was equal to
the emergency. He called bellboy and
sent for a package Of chewing gum.
When it was brought, the boy chewed
gum as he never had before. Then put
ting the soft, plastic quid on the end
Of a long lead pencil, he reached for
the diamond. His aim was true. The
diamond stuck. in the gum and was
brought out safely.

with heather temples, a theater and
places of trade and manufacture The
palace had been made SO splendid that

and all prisoners were at his mercy.
TWAS by no means safe for stranger
to draw near to the frowning gates Of
the citadel Of Macharus, but the dis
ciples Of John did come, again and
again, only to be refused admission. For
a long time therefore the baptizer was
in comparative ignorance Of what might
be going on in the great world beyond
the castle walls. Its kings might come
or go, it's Kingdoms might rise or fall,
it's cities might prosper or perish, and no
news Of all could penetrate the solid
stone that walled him in.
A deep, dark, rock hewn room was
that dungeon under the citadel of Ma

Its occupant was a gaunt, tall, un-

A HAWK THAT HERDS COWS.
An Educated Bird That Is Wonder III
Its WAY.

Its Way.
Two miles north Of the little town of
Oxford, in Orange county, N. Y, James
Cloyd owns farm which borders on the
road to Bloomington Grove. He is the
owner of what is probably the most re-
markable hawk in the world.
This hawk brings home herd of rs
cows every evening and gathers in the
stragglers and keeps the herd together
even more efectually than Hiram Cloyd,
the son of the farmer. used to do. Hi
ram had killed the parent hawk, which
had been stealing chickens. and took
this one from the nest. AS it grew up
he made a pet Of it and took it with
him every evening when he went out to
bring the COWS in.
One day Hiram cut his foot SO that he
could not walk. His father was absent,
and when 5 o'clock came and went
without Hiram putting in an appear
ance, Abe, the pet hawk, flew out of the
barn and away. III half an hour OR so
Mrs. Cloyd heard noise like COWS
moving together along the road, and on
whole herd coming along apparently
alone. She ran out to the gate to find
out what was the matter, and on near
ing the fence to take down the bars she
saw Abe perched on the horn of the last
COW, surveying the scene with apparent
satisfaction. When a COW Jagged or loi-
tered by the wayside, the hawk flew at
it fiercely, making it quicken it's move
ments to keep from being struck by it's
great wings. He then went back to his
curious perch, from which he watched
for stragglers.
After that day Abe always brought
the COWS in, starting punctually at
o'clock on his task, and generally round
ing them up inside Of half an hour
Since the story of the hawks accom-
plishment has become known many peo-
pie have visited the farm to see the per-
formance. Numerous visitors have wait
ed along either side Of the road watch
ing the herd and their novel keeper go

SOLITUDE AND SILENCE.
a Peculiar Charm Possessed BY South AZ.

EeouLlAr Charm PO9Beo10d by South AZ.
rican Scenery. &.
A peculiar charm which South Afri-
can scenery possesses is that Of primeyal
solitude and silence. It is charm
which is differently felt BY different
minds. There are many who find the
presence Of what Homer calls the rich
works of men essential to the perfec-
ton Of a landscape. Cultivated fields,
gardens and orchards, farmhouses dot
ted here and there, indications in one
form or another Of human life and la
Dor, do not merely givea greater variety
to every prospect, but also impart an
element which evokes the sense of SYM
pathy with our fellow men and e1cites
a whole group Of emotions which the
contemplation Of nature, taken by it
self, does not arouse.
No one is insensible to these things,
and some find little delight in any scene
from which they are absent. Yet there
are other minds to which there is some
thing specially solemn and impressive
in the untouched and primitive sim
plicity OF a country which stands now
just as it came from the hands Of the
Creator. The self suficientness of ma
ture, the insignifcance Of man, the
mystery of a universe which does not
exist, as our ancestors fondly thought,
for the sake Of man, but for other pur-
poses hidden from us and forever undis-
coverable-these things are more fully
realized and more deeply felt when one
traverses an immense wilderness which
seems to have known no change since
the remote ages when hill and plain and
valley were nodded into the forms we
see today.
Feelings CT this kind powerfully af-
feet the mind Of the traveller in South
Africa. They affect him in the Karroo,
where the slender line of rails, along
which his train creeps all day and all
night across long stretches Of brown
desert and under the crests of stern,
dark hills. seems to heighten by con-
trast the sense Of solitude-a vast and
barren solitude interposed between the
busy haunts of men which he has left
behind on the shores Of the ocean and
those still buster haunts whittier he is
bent, where the pick and hammer sound
upon the Witwatersrand and the palpi-
tating engine drags masses Of ore from
the depths Of the crowded mine. They
affect him still more in the breezy high
lands of Matabeleland, where the eye
ranges over an apparently endless Sue
cession of fluctuations clothed with tall
grass or waving wood, till they sink in
the blue distance toward the plain
through which the great Zambezi takes
it's seaward course. Professor James
Bryce, M. P, in Century.

Shirt Waist Collars.

The scheme to have detachable collars
with shirt waists is very happy
thought Of somebody, and the quick
popularity Of this style Of waist attests
it's general favor. One waist will easily
retain it's freshness to wear through two
collars, now that the shirt waist is
such only in name and does not neces-
sarily mean a bodice with shirt front.
Some dressmakers also make up the
stylish shepherds plaid silk waists to
be worn with linen collars-white lin
en-, of course, being preferred though
a few plain batiste collars have been
seen. New York Times. 49,. ~ -.

Every Man Carries His Favorite Remedy
Always With Him.
1t is customary for men to sneer good
naturally at the physical weaknesses Of
the opposite sex, but women would
doubtless be surprised could they know
how generally the medicinal remedy

culine friends. Think over your list of
male acquaintance and pick out the
few who have no ailments and carry no
bottles, powders Or prescriptions. They
will be very few indeed, unless your list
includes but very young men.
It has been said that every woman
knows the best face wash On earth and
is willing to part with her secret only
on compulsicn, but will try anything
else. suggested by friend. But men are
the most obstinate believers in sovereign
remedies. Every man carries at least
one remedy in his inside pocket and is
willing to unload it Oh anybody who
will listen or dare to test its infallibil-
ity. I have known four or five healthy
looking men in a group, not one Of
whom would be suspected of ever being

little unsupported boxes Of pills and as
tonishingly worded prescriptions from
their confidential hiding places and dis
course most learnedly upon their miracu-
lous powers.
In every case Of this kind there has
been at some time, more or less remote,
an apparent justification of merit claim
ed, from which time and thenceforth
forever that particular individual goes
