The words were spoken gently, yet
firmly. Had been older and more ex-
perienced in the ways of the gentler
sex I might have known that the an

But 1 was young-very, very young
and I was vain enough to think that
she would be unable to resist my plead
ing.

cruel words; but she would not listen
I begged-I implored, but she was in
eXorable. Yet she was kind. She mere
ly told me that nothing 1 could say
would move her. 1t was for my own
good, she said, and some day 1 would
thank her for it.
Her calm, cool manner angered me
and, forgetting the Difference due the
fair sex, threatened violence
She looked at me reprovingly, and
shook her head. She did not fear me
in the least. Tortured beyond endur-
anve by grief and anger, 1 burst into
unmanly tears.
At last she was aroused Drawing
herself up to her full hight, she said,
in angry tones: "No, John Henry, you

TeI1-Tale Finger Tins.

The seat of that invaluable quality,
tact, is said to be in our fingers. Hence
Psychologists as we'll as psychologists
are said to devote special attention to
the study of the human digit. Francis
Cation pointed out years ago that the
delicate lines in our finger-tips may be-
come means of Identifying persons,
since these lines vary with every indi-
vidual, and remain the same all through
life. NJ. Fere, the French savant, has
gone a step farther, and, after a number
of experiments, has come to the con-
clusion that not only the lines them
selves, but the way in which the people
touch and handle objects, reveal their
character and aptitudes. Thus, by caus-
ing a number of persons to take up a
ball of soft putty he has at once OBJ
tanned the lines by which he Identifies,
and the impression, more or less strong,
by which he can tell whether persons
capabilities lean toward professional
or an artistic eer.-Westminster Ga

AN UNDERTAKER's DILEMMA.
He Wanted to Pawn a Casket to
Buy a Shroud.

in my business" said a pawnbroker
whose three gilt balls hang in the vi
cinity of Twelfth street and Columbia

ord 'but 1 ran up against something
the other day that simply took my
breath away. A man very shabbily
dressed in black and looking like a
broken-down minister, came into the

prietor I went out to him. I am an

to help me out of a difficulty You can
do it without any risk to yourself if you
want to. I may as we'll confess to you
that business is pretty bad with me- but
I've got a case now which will pay me
well, if I can only carry it through

see, I've failed in my business several
times, and it's pretty hard for me to get
credit, but = We'll, we'll, hurry up

to do?" I'm coming to that now,' said
he; I was going to say that managed
to prevail on the cabinetmaker to give
me casket on time, so I've got that all
right. But the relatives of the deceased
refuse to advance me any money until
I've supplied the shroud. I haven't got
a cent, and the funeral is fixed for to-
day. Now, 1 want you to take the cas-
ket with it's silver trimmings as a
pledge, and give me enough money on
it to buy a shroud. Then, you see. L

funeral. What do you say?' told him,
after 1 had recovered my breath, that

The Effect of Rifle Bullets.

There has been much discussion con-
corning the size of bullets to be used
in battle, some contending that hu
manitarian feeling dictates that small
bullet be used which would disable an
enemy without subjecting him to death
or an extreme injury. But recently DR..
Carl Beck professor of surgery in the
New York School of Clinical Surgery,
made experiments at Gorenson's Is
land, which prove conclusively that a
30-caliber bullet fired from a Krag-
Jorgensen rifle produces a ragged
wound and badly splintered bone.
Death from hemorrhage results from
such wound, as the bony points would
pierce surrounding blood vessels. So
other means must be resorted to if an
enemy is to be rendered hors de COM
bat without experiencing serious in
jury.

SHOCKED HIS BROTHER ELKS.
A Louisville Brother Who Drank
Water at Minneapolis.

During the Elks' convention a mem
ber of the New Orleans delegation OBJ
served a rather distinguished looking
gentleman sitting in the rotunda of the
West Hotel, wearing a Louisville badge.
Although both cities were contestants
for the honor of entertaining the next
session of the Grand Lodge, the New
Orleans man did ont hesitate to walk
over to where the Kentuckian was sit
ting and introduce himself, and after a
few minutes conversation the Colonel
was invited to come up to the parlor of
the delegation on the second floor and
have a drink.
THANK yo' sub; thank yo'," was the
response. ''I really believe a glass of
watah would be refreshin'; yes, sub,
with pleasuh."
The New Orleans man almost tainted
to hear Kentuckian talking of water
as a beverage and intimating that that
fluid was his regular drink. But his
feelings were wrenched yet more vio-
lently when they had reached the room
where the delegation was quartered-
A number of the members were pres
ent when the two entered, and, after
introductions had been given, one of
them waved his hand toward the cor
ner and the sable individual who was
standing behind the table inquired
blandly: What is yo' all gwine to have,
gemmen?"
"Give me a glass of ice water with a
few drops of lemon juice, boy" replied
the sojournere from Colonels-land.
The New Orleans men prepared to
laugh at the joke, but the Colonel
turned toward them just then and said,
soberly, and without any appearance of
EN- mbarrassment:
I'm over sixty years of age, gentle
men. and a lifelong resident of Ken
lucky Perhaps you don't know 1t, but
the fact is that, though we make the
finest article of whisky in our State
that is to be found in the world, as
people we are all abstai1ers. and we
never touch it except in a medical way.
Nevah drink anything down there but
Just wattah. Thank yo', boy, that's just
right. Yo' health, gentlemen" and he
raised the glass of water and drained
the contents with evident relish
A moment later he had bowed him

grace. leaving a half-dozen Southern

HIGHDINDERS AT IT AGAIN.
MARYSVILLE CHINAMAN SHOT
ON STREET.
Nine Highbinders Attempt to

Bangl Ow-w! Ow-w!

Bang! Ow-w! OW-w!
A scuIry of feet, a frantic Chinaman
running down l street, blowing a police
whistle, gathering of chattering Mon
golians between Third and Fourth
streets around a dead body that lay
on it's back the right hand still grasp
ing a fan, the parted lips of which had
not yet closed after uttering the two
death shrieks, a Chinaman running on
Third street and darting into the alley
between Second and Third, where he
disappeared from view.
These were the sounds and sights
that broke on the stiffness of the night
at half past eleven last night. The
crowd of Chinese formed a circle
around the dead body, which lay few
doors above Third street. in the middle
of the sidewalk. 1t was that Of a we'll
dressed Chinaman, apparently a mer-
chant, who had been shot from behind,
and had fallen on his back and died
Immediately after giving vent to the
two screeches. The murderer had sped
like a startled deer down Third
street to the alley and no one had at
tempted to stop him.
Police Officer Pennish, who heard the
shot, was quickly on the spot and no.
titled the Coroner. No one seemed TO
know the name of the murdered man,
but it was ascertained that he had
come from Marysville two or three days
ago. A 44-caliber revolver protruded
from his pocket, and was taken charge
of by Officer Pennish. The chambers
were all loaded and would seem to in
dicate that the dead man was aware
of his danger and went armed to pro-
tect himself. The body was removed
to the Coroners office, where it was
found that the bullet had entered the
middle of the back and passed clear
through his body, coming out just un-
der the breast bone.

his wife, whom he had married sixteen
years ago according to the laws of

SIZED HER UP.
And Because Her Dress Was Red
the Old Farmer Fled.

A tale was told on an all round clup
woman of comely countenance, once
the possessor of a red cloth gown. One
day during the Worlds Fair, when the
gorgeous hue was not as popular as
this season, and consequently more
conspicuous, this piece of scarlet was
worn down town on a shopping expe-
dition AS usual in State street excur-
sions of the fair sex, the eliminating
point was the seductive soda fountain.
1t happened that into the drug store
where the aforesaid woman in bright
habiliments was enjoying a soft sum-
mer drink there sauntered gaunt,

kers and an unsophisticated satchel.
The stranger desired directions to
North Side address, and the obliging
clerk gave it with profuse explanation.

ably confused with his initiation into
the modus metropolitan, and no amount
of minute information could clear his
befuddled brain.
