The Farmer Was Ready.

A well to do Georgia farmer invited a
merchant friend to dine with him. The
merchant was known for his crankiness
and had once or twice tried to shoot peo-
pie for imagined wrongs. The farmer had
considerable business dealings with him.
and they were on the best of terms. How
ever, the farmer always kept wary eye
on him.
Several days after the dinner at the
farmers house the merchant said to him
81 can't account for the queer feelings and
impulses l have occasionally. For in
stance, the other day when / was dining
mt your table it suddenly came into my
mind to kill you, though had nothing in
the world against you. l had pistol in
my pocket at the time, and once had my
hand on it, when the strange feeling passed
from me"
"Don't let that bother you, said the
farmer II knowed all about your failin's
in that line, an wasn't asleep when l
saw your hand to your hip. My son John
was standin in the hallway back OF you
with a shotgun leveled at you, an you
Just did save your bacon by changin your
mind. EFF you hadn't, he'd er blowed day

Drunk on Jamaica Ginger.

Mrs Emma Moclel of East Thirteenth
street, New York, went TO Bellevue
hospital few days ago to be treated
for the Jamaica ginger habit. She has
been addicted to the habit for years.
and her explanation of its origin is that
when a child she was unusually fond of
ginger snaps She says that she used to
buy ginger snaps and eat them the way
many girls do candy
Gradually she got so she couldn g do
without them, and this led her to salts
fly her craving for ginger BY drinking
the extract
This is not the first time Mrs. Mockel
has been in the hospital for the habit
She was there last November for seven
days, and when she left promised TO re-
form AS Jamaica ginger is in great
part alcohol the effect is similar to that
of whisky, both physically and mental
ly, so the doctors put her in the alcohol
ic ward Mrs Mockel is % years old.

Magical Clevcrness.

Dr. Conan Doyle must have some of the
peculiar aptness of Sherlock Holmes, the
detective who walks his pages But, as
The Bookman tells us, he refers his idea
of the character to an old professor of med
icine Mt the Edinburgh university.
This man would sit in the patients
waiting room, with face like Red In
dian, and diagnose the people as they came
in, even before they had opened their
mouths. He would tell them their symp-
toms and he would give them details OF
their lives
"Gentlemen, he would say to the stu
dents standing about, 81 am not quite GER
tain whether this man is a cork cutter or
"a slater. l observe slight callous or
hardening on one side of his fore6nger
and little thickening on the outside of
his thumb. That is sure sign that he Is
either the one or the other"
His deductions were very dramatic
"Ah," he would say to another man,
"you are a soldier, u noncommissioned
officer, and you have served in Bermuda.
Now, gentlemen, how did I know that?
He came into the room without taking Oft
his hat, as he would go into an orderly
room. He was soldier. A slightly au-
thoritative air, combined with his age,
shows that he was u noncommissioned
officer. A rash OH his forehead tells me
he was I'm Bermuda and subject to GER
tain rash known only there.

A MARINE MONSTER.

Found Stranded on Beach and Killed
by Lighthouse Keeper.
A peculiar looking specimen of the
deep was found one morning recently
by H. p. Score. keeper of the United
States government light at Point Will
son, Wash, and in the absence of a
more fitting name the object is called a
sea serpent. The monster was found
stranded OH the beach near the light
house, where it had been tossed by a
heavy wave.
1t is feet in length, the thickest
part of its body being % inches in cir
conference. The head is large and
shaped like an alligator's Two horns
80 inches in length, protrude from the
head The animal, if animal it may be
called, has massive jaws with large
teeth, but has no legs or fins and is of a
pale green color. Lightkeeper Score
killed the creature by shooting it with
a pistol He towed the body to the light
station, where it is now an object of
curiosity to many persons. Nothing
similar to it has ever been seen in the.
waters of the Pacific northwest. San
