A Young Man Who Found IL Cheaper 90
Vravsl without Change.
Washington, from what j have seen
of =. is peculiar place, said the Wis
ting Young man TO a reporter
"Tll tell you why | think so, " he
continued. "The other day | was going
over 10 Baltimore, and on consulting
my watch discovered | had but few
minutes in which to catch my train. l
struck the avenue at Fourteenth street
and boarded "a car.
"When the conductor came round for
my fare, / put my hand in my pocket
and found | had nothing less than 50
bill The conductor glanced at it, then
at me, and shook his mead disapprov-
ingly.
"'I can't change that, he said.
~ told him it was the smallest l
had but he said then he could not
change anything larger than 50 bill;
that they were not required by law to
do so. | began TO think would have TO
get off and walk, when he came to my
relief by saying that | could get the
bill changed and pay him at the end of
the line, near the depot.
81 thought this was very considerable
When we reached the terminus, l told
the conductor that could have the So
changed and pay him, starting for
place on the corner.
"'That's all right. Go on Go .onp
he told me, waving his hand as if he
owned the railroad.
However, tried to have the bin
broken unsuccessfully. Just then re-
membered / wished to communicate
something to a friend mp town and
asked if l could use pay telephone in
a corner of the room.
"'You could use it all right If you
had 10 cents in change, the proprietor
told me, but you haven't it, Come
back here in my Office and use my
private phone That's all right when
l was profuse in my thanks
Say, do you know what l think,
continued the young man. Il believe l
could get a 500 bill and live in the
capital for weeks for nothing, simply
by getting things and showing it under
the noses of the people l purchased
from. They would rather give them to
me than take the trouble to break it. "
And then he remarked that the only
difficulty would be in securing the bill
in the first place Washington Star.

White Slaves of Old England.

Eight hundred years ago all Of the
large cities of England had regular
slave markets for the sale of white slaves
from all parts of the kingdom, In the
Life of Bishop Withstand" the writer
says: 1t was moving sight to see in
the public markets rows of young peo-
pie of both sexes tied together and sold
like cattle--men, unmindful of their
obligations. delivering into slavery
their relatives and even their own chill
dren." In another part of this work it
is noted that these slaves were "partic-
ularly young woman of fine proportions
and of great beauty"

has greatly interested himself IN the
question, "What passes in the head OF
"A decapitated human beingy relates the
following remarkable story, which he
5ays was taken from the archives of the
Vienna courts: Ii was in the year -
that Schoenenburg, well known bandit,
and four Of his associates We're caught
and condemned TO death. They were
already on their knees ready to pay the
penalty Of their bloody deeds by sub
uniting 10 the awful fate Of decapita-
ton when SchoenenbuTg addressed the
Judge, asking that his four companions
might be pardoned on certain condi-
tions. IF. asked the bandit, latter
am beheadod, i get Up and walk TO the
first of my comradc will you pardon
him?" The judge thought that he was
pretty safe in complying with the re-
quest. "Then, continued Schooner
burg. "if | walk to the second, the
third and the fourth, will you pardon
them also?" The judge replied that If
such Il miraculous feat could be per-
formed he would obtain pardon for the
other three also. The bandit was now
satisfied, and, bending his head. he re-
ceived the fatal blow. Instantly the
head rolled down in the sand, but TO
the surprise and horror Of all present
the headless trunk -arose and walked
alone Aimlessly, it appeared, the body
walked around until it passed the first,
the second, the third and the fourth
condemned bandit, when it fell down

The Human Electric Battery.

The superstition that hur beings
should sleep with their heaus to the
north is believed by the French to have
for its foundation scientific fact. They
affirm that each human system is in it
self an electric battery, the head being
one of the electrodes, the feet the other
Their proof was discovered from expert
ments which the Academy of Sciences
was allowed TO make on the body Of q
man who was guillotined.
This was taken the instant it fell and
placed upon pivot free TO move as it
might. The head part, after little
vacillation, turned to the north, and the
body then remained stationary. 1t was
turned half way round by one of the
professors, and again the head end Of
the trunk moved slowly to the cardinal
point due north, the same results being
repeated until the final arrestation Of
organic movement.

Coming To The rront

One OF the best Memorial Day Ser
vices held ia the county this wear took
place down at the Green's Run Chapel
Sunday night. The house was crowded
and many were outside. The interior
was all ablaze with patriotism and
evergreen. The red, white and blue
was stretched clear around the wallis
and the stars and stripes were in ey-
idence everywhere. A canopy had
been erected around the altaraud hung
with bunting, flags, and evergreen in
very attractive manner aud with
considerable taste. A handsome
sword aud other appropriate cmblems
were worked in with the decorations.
SO that the whole effect was very good.
New benches have been placed in the
church and it is right coy now. The
meeting was sort of "old soldiers eN-
perience meeting" aad quito n number
OF them were present and gave short
talks on their experience fighting for
their country and under tho blood
stained banner OF Christ also. Others
who had only enlisted In the latter
cause gave in there experience and ull
enjoyed the exercises very much.
John ). White and Charles Y. Bishop
had charge of the meeting and deserve
credit for the good lesson in patriotism
taught the people OF that church, and
Oy the way, those people commonly
called the Nation" have improved
wonderfully in the last few years and
are not only trying but doing lots bet
ter than they used TO. They dress
better and look cleaner and more re-
spcctible and attend church and school
more than formerely. In fact the
audience Sunday night was a very re-
spectacle looking congregations
