HOpelessly Tangled,

When embarrassed or excited, some
persons mix their words together In q
fearful and wonderful manner. We
have all heard of the unlucky actor
who announced that the Buck OF Duk-
inglam was taken. ana of his fellow
blunderer who proclaimed the exist
ence of thick horse In yOnder swifYet,
apparently not gasping the fact that
a thick horse Is popularity considered
less desirable than swift one. A GER
tain minister could never say 'Sweet
for bitter, ana bitter for sweet" sub
stituting this phrase, "Switter for beet,
and beet for switter." Macready has
told of an actor who, In rendering
the words ''the poisoned cup" constant
~ said "the cOisoned pup" to the great
delight of his audiences. At last, he
managed, by much practice. to control
Ills utterance SO that In a public perform
ance he pronounced the phrase cor,
rectly. Instantly there was IN uprOar;
the audience missed Its customary fun,
ana would not let the man proceed un'
Ill he had given the ''cOisOned pup" In
stead. Then he was cOnsOled with
shouts OF applause.

1t has been frequently stated that
fish and other phOsph0ric foods i'm
prove the brain ana mind, hut the as
sertiOn has never been scientifically
demonstrated. Fishermen, for exam
pie. ana others who may be supposed to
live largely upon fish, have never
shown themselves to be IN any meas
urable degree more intellectual than
their neighbOrs. The truth Is. that the
particular food which best agrees with
the particular individual Ii the best
for the brain ana every other organ Of
the body, as well as the whole man.
Common experience has long ago for
mulated the saying that "what is one
mans meat Is another mans poison"
Science now comes forward to tell us
exactly the same thing, ana further
more to impress upon every one OF us
the necessity of finding out the diet
which IL really best suited to ourselves.

How . Good Bow Ia Made.

May I tell the history of my best
bow, the dark one nearest the wall?
Plaything, the newspaper wise man
named the like. in comparison with a
five foot bois dare Che called it hickory
segment Of hogshead hoop, hight a
bow, in the hand of half naked Sioux
buck. 1t came from yew tree of Spain
to the London workshop billet in the
rough, but to be split out with care, and
not flaw in it. The bowyer scrutinized
it with the connoisseur's knowing eye,
found it perfect, laid it up to season.
And for five years-dream of it-for
five long years that billet passed from
stage to stage, slowly hand worked into
a bow. Then yet another year il was
tested and polished before could have
it. From the strongly wrought horn
mock tips to the green plush handle mid
way between, it is a comfort to look
upon. You might we'll call it sonnet
in wood. A hickory bow, indeed, and
an Indian archer! With this yew at so
yards I shot 8 out of IL arrows through

Captain Maehef soon found that the gov
ernment was not to be hoodwinked. The
news of his Illegal enterprise was soon
noised abroad, and it was not long before
he was arrested and imprisoned. He was
released on bail, however, and was able to
meet and checkmate the next move of the
authorities. United States officials soon
located the negroes and chartered the
steamboat Eclipse to go after them and
bring them to Mobile, but Captain Mae
her was on the watch for just such a move
on the part of the government. He called
In q man whom he could trust, and, hand
ing him $40 in gold, said:
"The Eclipse is going after the niggers
this evening. Take this money and fix the
crew with liquor.
He then walked down to the wharf
where his own boat, the Roger B. Taney,
was taking on freight, and ordered the
work to be stopped. The Taney's lines
were slipped and she steamed mp the river.
The agent who had been given the $50 did
his work well, for he soon had the crew of
the Eclipse SO drunk that they were utter
ly unable to take her ont of port. By the
time another crew was secured for the
Eclipse the Taney was 100 miles away and
steaming with all the power of boilers
heated by bacon fed furnaces toward the
Dabney plantation. The negroes were
taken aboard and carried 200 miles up the
Alabama river, where they were landed
and hidden away in another canebrake.
Captain Maeher was tried for his offense,
and he only saved his neck Through his
ability to prove that he had made SO con-
secutive trips on the Roger B. Taney be-
tween Mobile and Montgomery, the attor-
neys thus convincing the jury that he
could not have imported the slaves and
made the trips Also" This foolish exploit
cost Maeher, first and last, over 800, 900.
After the excitement incident to his trial
had died away, he brought the negroes to
his own plantation. near Mobile, where
they and their descendants have remained
to this day.

Professor Willis L. Moore, in a recent
lecture cited statistics to show what a
great effect the weather conditions have
on crime. There is a larger proportion of
crime in the hot months than in the very
cold ones, although there is much more in
ducement for crime in the winter. From
the records compiled by a weather bureau
official a few years ago it was found that,
while there We're 600 suicides and {, 500
murders during the three warmest months
OF the year, there were but zoo suicides
and 200 murders during the three coolest

A BLIND BICYCLE GIRL.
The Remarkable Accomplishment Of Miss
Katie Helmke of st. Louis.

The Remarkable Accomplishment of Miss
Katie Helmkc of st. Louis.
st. Louis has blind bicycle girl. She
is Miss Kato Hclmke, an instructor in the
Missouri Institute For the Blind.
She entered the school as a pupil IS years
ago and has been a teacher there for eight
years. She has always been fond of ath-
letics, and while pupil was leader in
the gymnasium classes.
Two years ago the bicycle fad struck the
blind asylum. DIR. John I. Sibley, the su-
perintendent. is president of the Century
club, and holds the century record for Mis-
souri,. Every member of his family rides,
and there are altogether Is bicyyc.ists at the
institution.
When all the seeing attaches of the
school took to the bicycle, Miss Helmke
startled DR.. Sibley by announcing that she
was going to learn to ride. The superin-
tendent thought she was joking. Two
days later u man delivered tandem at the
institution for Miss Helmke. She had
without the knowledge of any one at the
school.
Miss Helmke had "examinetl' the bicy-
cles belonging to DR.. Sibley and his fam
lily. Her wonderfully sensitive fingers had
Travelled over every inch of the machines,
and she had a good idea of the general ap-
penrancc of q wheel.
Seated on the rear wheel of the tandem,
with DIR. Sibley in front, she soon master
ed the art of pcdaling and was able to take
part In country run to Creve CGur lake.
Then she became inpatient to learn to
ride a single wheel.
DIR Sibley hesitated before giving his
consent, but Miss Helmke was so persist
ent that he loaned her wheel and gave
her permission to practice in the gymna-
sium. 1t was hard work at first, but in q
week she was able to ride without an at
tendant. Her training in the gymnasium
had given her good idea of its dimen-

mons, and she soon learned to ride around
the hall unattended. She then practiced
in the yard, following the narrow circular
walk with absolute precision.
Fer some time she has been making
daily trips to Forest Park. She is always
accompanied by DR. Sibley or one of the
male teachers. Though she cannot see she
Knows half n dozen routes to Forest Park.
Her attendant rides at her side and guides
her with his voice. Once on the boulevard
she rides straight ahead without guidance,
often reaching the park ahead of her COM
panion.
DR.. Sibley considers Miss Helmke's
achievements wonderful. "But, then," he
said, "she is wonderful girl. Not blind
person in 1000 could do what she has
done. She came here without a knowledge
OF one word of English. Today she is q
splendid literary scholar, the best, in fact,
ever turned out by the school. Besides
teaching she reads proofs of the textbooks
published here in the Braille characters.
She rides as well as any one in the school,
and sometimes think she could ride alone
with perfect safety. Her attendant does
not control or guide her wheel in any way
She never misses her daily spin.
when she cannot go to Forest Park,
she rides ten miles in the yard. She has a
cyclometer and takes great pride in the
fact that she has ridden nearly /, 500 miles
since she mastered the wheel"
