InsuIted Over the Wire.

A telegraph operator on one Of the
morning papers recently told me a good
story of how he got rid Of a too frequent
visitor. whose nightly calls during bust
ness hours had come to be nuisance.
The intruder was also an operator. but
was temporarily out of a job. One even-
ing he came in as usual and planted
himself in chair. Receiving no an
swers to his questions, he lapsed into
silence and listened to the steady click
of the instrument. Suddenly look Of
disgust crossed his face. He arose, glared
ut the operator, who kept on writing,
turned on his heel and walked out. This
happened week ago, and he has not
called since. What was the cause of his
sudden departure? That is easily an
swered. In response to previous re-
quest, the operator at the other end Of
the line sent this message, lis that idiot

The Elder Mr.. Rush's Great Day.

He is an elderly gentleman of means.
He has standing high in the church
and has contributed TO charities. In the
ed place for his firm.
Having resided in Chicago for so
many years and having contributed gen.
erously, although modestly, to its up
building, it would seem that he should
have reputation. And he did have a
reputation. The comparative few who
knew him held him in great respect.
But he never really tasted the sweets
of popularity until his son made touch
down.
Never until his son became public
character, with his picture in all sorts Of
publications and the glory of his deeds
put into display type, did the father
know what it was to hear people whis-
pering to one another: "Do you see that
old gentleman? Well, he's Mr.. Rush, ia
ther of the great half back"
Never before did he have people call
him ON the phone and say: "Congratu-
lations, Mr.. Rush. This has been a
great day."
If he happens in at the athletic club,
enthusiastic men, young and old, seize
him by the hand and tell him how he
ought to be envied, and want to know
If he had anything up on the game.
Greatness has been thrust upon him.
The name which lay hidden in the
directory for years has suddenly become
q household word.
All of a sudden the father finds him
self blinking in glare of reflected
glory.
His son has made touchdown.
He doesn't know how or why the
touch down was made, and secretly he
has no concern as to the condition Of his
sons game ankle, but he finds that
whereas he was nobody he is now the
father Of half back. Chicago Record.

CRACKING BILLIARD BALLS.
Freakish Results Of Blizrard Weather on
the Ivory Globes.

Dudley KavanaSh, the champion of
billiards in the days of the supremacy
Of the old four ball American game,
talking the other night about the liabil-
ity of ivory billiard balls to crack if not
carefully protected from cold drafts, re-
cited this amusing incident:
"About 80 years ago, when / kept a
billiard room in Fulton street, got ont
a box of ivories one winter morning to
do some practicing before my customers
would arrive. i had been playing for
about five minutes, when undertook to
make sharp drive with the spot ball.
struck il fairly in the middle, the cue
going clean through the ball, knocking
ont what the experts call the heart or
center of the ball. 1t got chilled and
had cracked all around the center. The
ball was ruined for regular playing pur-
poses, but had heaps of fun with it
afterward I explained to certain of my
customers, who were jovial sort of fell
lows, fond of joke, that we could make
joker of the cracked ball.
81 found when i replaced the heart
that the ball had all the appearance of a
sound one, and that the heart would
remain in place until the ball was struck
sharply. These customers, who were
aware of the secret, would come in oc-
casionally with other friends and start
game. When the proper time came,
the man who had been selected as the
victim of the joke would be engaged in
conversation with one of the players,
while another would slyly remove one
of the sound balls when the victim
wasn't looking and replace it with the
cracked ivory.
"'It's your turn, George, one of the
jokers would cry out, and then the VIC
tim played. Sometimes ON the very first
stroke the player would knock the loose
heart out of place, and pinion the ball
ON the tip of his cue. The shot generally
astonished the spectators. Then they
would roar with laughter and applaud
with enthusiasm. The maker of the
mysterious shot was always the most be-
wildered man in the establishment. He
would examine the pinioned ball closely
and then scrutinize the dislodged
heart
"'Well, George, they told him laugh
ingly, there isn't professional alive
who could beat that shot. It's the great
est on record.
1T was many, many months before
that cracked ball ceased to be source
of wonder and amusement to the down
town business men,"
Since Dudley's days in Fulton street,
the same accident has occasionally hap
pened, and Sexton, Tim Flynn, George
Slosson and Maurice DAILY each have
"heartless " billiard balls, which they
keep as curiosities. Flynn's specimen
had the "beart" knocked out of it in a
game of 10 ball pool, where the player
burst the pyramid in the effort to pocket
three balls or more on the opening
stroke. New York Sun.

FREE TO EVERY MAN
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everythin
Else Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let up
to the mental suffering day or night
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such strain men are scarcely respons-
ible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better take
O dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape Of a combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health. but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts TO
natural size and Vigor, and he now de-
clares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
may have the method of this wonderful
treatment free. Now. when say free
| mean absolutely without cost, because
| want every weakened man to get the
benefit of my experience.
l am not philanthropist, nor do pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thou
sahds of men suffering the mental tor
lures of weakened manhood who would
be cured at once could they but get such
a remedy as the one that cured ME. Do
not try to study out how can afford to
pay the few postage stamps necessary
to mail the information. but send for 1t,
and learn that there are few things on
earth art that although they cost nothing to
get they are worth fortune to some
men and mean a life-time of happiness
TO most Of us. Write to Thomas Slater,

THE DISCOMFITED CRUISERS
Admit That Blockade Running Is Still
Possible
The Fast Running Vesssl Could Have Blown
the Flagship Out Of the Water
Without Detection

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 13.-The
successful running of the blockade by
the Vesuvius on Thursday night is to-
day commandin the admiration Of
hundreds of Charlestonians, who ran
the real blockade in real war thirty
years ago. Her trip confirmed their be-
lief that blockade running is still posi-
BILE, Notwithstanding the developments
of modern naval practice, electric search
lights, high-speed ships, long-range
guns, and numerous rapid-fire second
ary batteries unknown during the last
war.
TO add to the discontinue of the
blockading fleet, the saucy little craft
actually succeeded in repeating her feat
last night Under orders from Admiral
Bunce, the Vesuvius early in the after
noon yesterday left the squadron AMI
steamed north until she was lost TO
sight. From that moment everybody on
the fleet was on the alert, and the big
search lights sent long streams of light
as night fell, in every direction. 1t was
in vain, for about midnight a rocket
went up close to the flagship, and Ad-
miraI Bunce thus received notice that
the little flyer was lying quietly at an
chor alongside him, after having cut
through the middle Of the fleet of watch
ers.
Naval officers on the station are seri-
ously concerned over the success of the
VesuViuS in these two trips. 1t is not
so much the possibility thus made plain
of a small boat of the FesuviuS type
eluding the most watchful vigilance
and all the aids of modern science and
discipline. But it stands revealed to
naval officers that the Vesuvius, on his
tile intent, might easily have blown up
any Of the formidable battleships in the
fleet With her dynamite guns or with
a torpedo rifle, and if this is possible for
the Vesuvius, it would also be possible
for one of the tiny and almost invisible
torpedo boats, not a third of the size 0f
the Vesuvius and so per cent faster.
The Marblehead has been ordered to
leave Charleston next week. and it has
been understood she viii go to- Port
Royal to repair damages sustained II
the storm encountered on the way doWa
from Hampton roads.
