He Kept Cool.


The following story (by ali means too
good to keep Is told OF AN Iron River
man, who with lis wife. recently enjoyed
a visit with lower Wisconsin friends
One night the couple were aroused 10y

and the woman, spIinging out OF bed,
began 60 hastily dress The man, how
ever, one of those cool, easy-going
fellows that you read about, rose quiet
~ and without any show OF excitement,
proceeded eisurely TO put ON Ills shoes,
at the same time exhorting his wife TO
keep cool and remarking how foolish it
was Tor people to get excited and make
such monkeys OF themselvcr over little
cOnilagration. Having laced his shoes,
the cool man then put on white shirt
collar and neck-tie, and continued his
dressing slowly and carefully, turning n
deaf enr to his wife's pleading to
hurry Finally, throwing his over
coat over his shoulders he accompanied
the impatient lady out of the house
rhey walked about block To the scene
Of the fire and stood in the crowd OF
spectators watching the volunteer fire de-
partment fight the ilames. After a while
the man turned TO his wife with the
question: Don't you feel cold, little
woman" Receiving Il negative answer,
he remained quiet for few minutes then
turned to his wife again with the re-
mark Il feel decidedly chilly standing
here" 81 am mot at all surprised

tone ''Why, what do YOU mcan2n An
amused smile played about the corners
Of the little woman's mouth, her eyes
twinkled spiteiully in the glare Of the
burning building and she answered with
eXasperating distinctness If you are
sure you are perfectly cool, dear, |
would suggest that you return To the

Clergymen are frequently good story
tellers, but, as a rule, proper dignity
prevents them from wanting to appear
in that light publicly. The following
was narrated to a reporter by a popular
divine:
''In the days of my early ministry, "
he said, Il thought it necessary to i'm
press thoughts of salvation by every
thing 1 uttered, and l am afraid l was
sometimes not altogether discreet.
my first work was in western
mining camp, and had to remain over
night at rough hotel to wait for a
stage to convey me to my destination.
At the table savage looking man said
gruffly:
What might be yer line, young fel
ler?'
Saving souls, l said solemnly.
"'Ugh!' was the only response.
CATER supper coarsely dressed man
approached me and said:
'ParGner, To- S make some kind o.
dicker. We're in ther same line, an

PICTURE ON A HILL.

The Long Man OF Wilmington, England
Measures s4O Feet.
About midway between Berwick and
Polegate stations, at point where the
side Of the hill is very precipitous those
who know exactly the spot where to
look will be able to see from the rail-
way carriage windows sort of rude
imitation of the human form outlined
in white. The figure, which is between
200 and 300 feet in height, holds long
staff in each hand This is ''the Long
Man Of Wilmington, once the ceuter
of profound veneration and worship,
but now merely an object Of interest to
the curious
In order 10 obtain an adequate idea OF
this great hillside figure, dominating
the surrounding country and appearing
to watch as guardian over the little vii
lage below, it is desirable to approach
it afoot, tromping along the winding
lanes, as the pilgrims Of old must have
tramped when they came bither on the
occasion of some great religious festival
Seen from aiar, the figure does not ap.
pear to be Of remarkable size, but grad
ually, as one approaches the. bill, # as
sumes an imposing and definite shape.
The figure, about 240 feet in height,
was merely shaped in the turf SO as TO
allow the chair to appear through. In
the course of time these depressions in
the surface became almost imperCepti'

Oblique rays Of the rising or setUng sur.
threw them into deep shadow. In or
der to preserve the form Of the Lonp
Man, and to render it at the same time
easily distinguishable at distance ths
outline was marked by single line Of
white bricks placed closely tog, Their.
The effect hts been TO produce u some

There are in different parts Of the
county other examples OF extremely
rude aid cally hillside figures, ard, e.
though the very fact Ct the grC:t az
tiquity renders it unlikely that histor.
ical or documentary evidence will be
forthcoming as to their design or precise
purpose, it is very satisfactory TO find
that an explanation has been found
which will at once account for many Of
their peouliaritics
The theory is that these are sacrifcia
figures We learn from the writings o.
Caesar that the Gauls (and the Br.ton!
were doubtless inoluded) had figures o
vast size, the limbs Of which, formed o
osiers, they filled with living men. Tit
figure was ultimately fred, ard thu
miserable victims persisted in the flames

probably of great antiquity, in which
the Long Man is mentioned in referencl

And He Likewise Ehectually DispFoved
Mr.. Hank ThOmpsOn'S Theory,
One day, in the old days at Cheyenne,
when it was still the terminus of the
great Pacific road, there arrived, all by
himself, young man about 30 years
old, who had such a lisp and looked 30
girlish that the rough crowd looked him
over in astonishment. 1t was Hank
Thompson who finally walked up TO the
young man on a street corner and gruff-
" demanded:
"Say, baby, are you lookin for your
nursin bother"
"Thir, do you addreth me?" asked
the young man as he Strengthened up.
"You bet. Whar's yer ma and how
did you happen to get lost?"
"My ma it'll home, thir, and am not

"You are very rude, thir," Knocked
the terror as he beckoned to the boys to
close in and see the fun.

young man as he looked the other over,
"that you don't like my lookths.
"No, donth."
"And that you want to pick futh

"Hear him-he thootsl'' shouted the

"Wath you referring to me?" asked
the young man.
"Of course was. Whose trunk or
carpetbag did you escape from?"
"Thir, l thee thath you want me to

sent six buckshot bullets into Hank

staggered about and fell down, and ev-
erybody thought he was done for until
a doctor locked him over and said nc
vital spot had been touched. Hank lay
with mis- eyes closed for a long, long
time, but he finally opened them and
family asked
"Boys, hnvO l bin shot or what2"
