The abscntminded man, who Is
also religious, walked into church
whilo tho organ was breathing forth
q long, low melody that seemed to
BIO tho music of heaven. And as he
listened to it his air grew moro pre-
occupied, light not of earth came
into his suffused Dyes, all tho better
clements of his nature woro moved
in accord with tho melodious strains,
and for that moment he was not of
earth.
Then ho walked into his pow and
started to take off his ovorcoat. So
preoooupied was ho that ho did not
realize he was pulling off his othor
coat until he stood there in his shirt
sleeves in full Wow of tho worldly

People said This Years Ago.

Nearly every man has his pot cures
for tho various ills to which man
kind is heir, and thcro are probably
hundreds of cures for headache
which their inventors will proudly
tell you "have never boon known to
fail" But it romans for Girnrl
House bartender to suggest remedy
which is rs symptoms he claims it to
be effective. "Absinth, says this
modern priest of Baoohus, possesses
remarkable curative powers, and as
q destroyer of headache it has no
equal. Tho beauty of it is that you
don't have to endanger your mental
equilibrium by drinking it. Just
take few drops in tho palm of the
hand, rub both hands together until
tho liquor is partially absorbed into
tho skin, thon cover the faco with
your hands and inhale the odor un-
til you can no longer doteot it, 1t is
a positive cure. "-Philadelphia Rec

A few words about this horse, tho
horse of tho plains. Whether or no
his forefathers looked on when Mon
tezuma fell, they certainly hailed
from Spain. And whether it was
missionaries or thieves who carried
them northward from Mexico until
tho Sioux heard of the now animal,
certain it also is that this pony ran
wild fer century or two, either
alono or with various red skinned
owners, and as he gathered the sun
dry experiences of war and peace, OF
boing stolen and of being abandoned
in tho snow Mt inconveniont distances
from home, of being ridden by two
women and a baby at onco and of
being eaten by q bear, his wide range
of contretemps brought him wit

a number of delighted passengers
on tho Kansas Pacific railway passed
by a Mexican vaquoro who had boon
sent out from Kansas City to ropo n
buffalo as an advertisement for tho

take a look at tho solitary horseman
fast to buffalo in tho midst of tho
plains. Jose, who had his bull safely
roped, shouted to ask if they had
any water on tho train. "We'll bring
some" said they. ooh, 1 como got,
said he, and jumping off he left his
accomplished pony in sole charge of
tho buffalo. Whenover tho hugo
beast struggled for freedom tho cley-
or pony stiffened his legs and leaned
back in u tug OF war, by jumps ana

tho enemy that escape was entirely
hopeless. Tho boy got his drink, and
his employer sent out car for tho

While making the usual schedule

chandise, broke down, derailing
four other cars. Tho goods in the
car that broke down was scattered
some distance and had to be trans
ferred into another car.
1t is perfectly safe to abuse the
tramp and to make him the scape-
goat for many wrongs and depre-
dations, for he seems to have no
influential friends, he isn't organic
ed and he never resents anything
that is said about him. He is Civ
en- scant courtesy by the officers of
the law, the statutes of every State
virtually prohibit his existence and
there is steady pressure to get
him off tho face of the earth, but
still he fourishes and continues to
furnish the material for the jibes of

Ger of subjects for leaders he is
steadily relied on by tho profound
beings who do the heavy editorial
