Grand Rapids, Mich, July 24.-If there was
any doubt of the superiority of Eddie Can

dispelled today, when he won the half-mile

In the first Bald jumped Just as the pace

A JEALOUS OFFICER.

Tim Donovan is now a Sergeant on
Topeka's police force, says the Capital,
and he has gained that position
through hard work and strict atten-
ton to duty. Here is story which
the boys tell on this popular officer:
One morning about l o'clock Tim
left the little brick building on the
corner of Fifth and Jackson streets
and started for his home. Just as he
reached his gate he heard an awful
sound. He started and reached for his
gun, and when he discovered that the
cause of the disturbance was but a
stray COW, Tim was mad.
After allowing his anger to COOL he
stepped forward and took the COW in
charge. The officer wanted her TO 30
with him to the pound, but "bussy'
objected, and voiced her protestaticns
by believing Justify. Once at the sta
ton, Tim told o fellow officer TO take
her in charge and hold her in the
pound until she should be ransomed
by her owner.
Tim then went home and slept the
sleep OF the just. The next morning,
however, there was an awakening in
both senses Of the word. Tim awoke
from his slumbers and to the fact that
the family cow was gone.

with Mr.. Smith. During the course Of
a dozen years of happiness Mrs. Smith

er the money came out of the grocer's
bill or the milliner's account. At
any rate, Mrs. Smith invested in
twelve silver spoons, at $1.50 apiece.
In the course Of time smith died. AT

A TRANSMIGRATED PERSONALITY.

One of the Cleveland veterans of the
Mexican war is Col. o. J. Hodges, who
served for year and a half in the fed
eral army. In recalling recently some
of the incidents of that memorable
struggle the Colonel told the Plain
Dealer this amusing story:
The Major Of Our regiment" he
said, was in the habit of getting on
a spree about once a month, and when
not restrained by the other officers,
made things very lively. 1t became
a common saying in camp when the Of
ficer was suffering from one of his per-
iodical aprees: The Major is on tear
again. This same officer had for an
orderly, or servant, a very exemplary
man named John. One day. with some
Of the other men, he went into the city
of Matamora9 and the other men
thought it would be an amusing thing
to get John drunk. They filled him
pretty full with Mexican wine. and after
little while he became hilarious. Re
turning to camp he sought his tent in a
zigZag fashion. keeping up tremen-
dous singing all the way. The Major
noticed his scandalous condition and
ordered him taken to the guard house.
When they were taking him there the
officer of the guard said: Why, John,
what's the matter? This is something
new fer you John looked up with a
comical leer. Oh he hiccoughed, its
th-that d-dam Major on mother t-tear.
S-a-some day th-that fellow II ddie
d-drunk. H-hooray."

Fourth Estate tells this one:
A well known city editor once sent
two inexperienced reporters to write
up the wreck Of steamship. All
day he waited, but not a word Of copy
came over the wire. The evening
passed, and it was time for the paper
to go Ito press" yet not a word had
been received from the scribes. The
editor gave up all hope, and, after
writing up an article from the tele
graphic reports, proceeded to insti-
tute a search for his young men.
Just as the presses started a mes
senger rushed in with the following
telegram: We've arrived and in

The grinding had begun, the Cypress

as the children say, laid low"
My Lady Of Laces still inhaled her
salts, and still sat like a leaning tower,
but there was a brightness in the eye
of the shabby young man, and he
smoOthed out his disraputable coat, Civ

manner that was excessively annoying
to my lady.
Presently she haughtily signaled to
the conductor that she wished to get
out, and as the car a,orped she rose
proudly to her feet, gathering Ger silk
en- skirts
But before she had taken two steps
the shabby young man leaned forward
and in a clear voice called: Il beg your
pardon, madam, but you have left your
chewing gum" and he held out to her
the small brown wad.
Why, the noise of Olympian machin-
cry drowned everything else.
