A tramp had applied just at noon at
the boarding house, and, being given
something, sat down on the rear side
steps to eat it, where he could bs seen
by those in the dining room.
We've got a new boarder, i see,'
said the laxative young man in the
crash suit to the student on his right.
The strange young lady who had Just
come in as he Ceassi spaaxing looked
up quickly aud than her eyes fell con
sciousIy. But the young man did not
observe and went 90.
"Yes, We seem to b, over st )cked With
this kind, now, No end tp them this
tine Of the year. IL were landlady I'd
fire 'em bodily-coming especially at this
hour Of the day. just when evsryto iy's

The young la ly across the table
blushed and moved uneasily. helping
herself TO the potato,s Lervously and
almost timidly.

young man. EASY way OF getting

A Joke on Uncle Sam.

The lot of the counterfeiter is not 9
happy one. Hounded as he is by the
"minions of the law" there is really
no safe place for him to carry on his
business unmolested. He has even
been traced into his lair in the soli-
tude of the government penitentiary at
Leavenworth.
The lynx-eyed officers of that insti-
tuition have just discovered that gang
of daring counterfeiters have been OPP
Grating for some time within the walls
of the prison. 1t is said that excep-
tionally clever s. certificates were
turned out with tools kindly furnished
the convicts by the government. Just
how long this work has been going on
is not known by the officers, but it is
believed that LeavenwOrth is flooded
with these spurious bills.
That the joke is decidedly on Uncle
Sam there is no doubt. Still, since
there is 50 much talent in the various
prisons in the country, why not EN-
ploy it in turning out legitimate mon-
ey? Possibly the convict labor ques-
ton might be setted by converting all
government prisons into mints or bu-
reaus of printing and engraving.
This would entirely do away with the
dangerous gangs of counterfeiters that
now infest our prisons and at the same
time turn their service into account for
the government--Kansas City World.

that no quarter will be given to an

They also declared that only fortiii-

whatever character, whether belong

that plundering by private soldiers or

Musical Bottles.

\ simple and easily constructed mu-
steal instrument consists of a number
of ordinary glass bottles filed with a
certain quantity of water, the height of
which is varied according to the pitch
of the note To be obtained. After a
few tentatives it will be possible to re-
produce all the notes and their Octaves,
including the sharps and flats. The
tuning of the apparatus, however, re-
quires good musical ear.
The bottles are suspended by the
neck by means Of strings, from two
broom handles resting upon the backs
of two chairs In order To produce the
sound the bottles are struck with two
rulers, or, better, two drumstieks.
With this arrangement airs in two
parts may be played; and there may
be two performers, one playing one
side without interfering with the per-
former on the other side. In the
hands OF good musicians this appara-
tus IS very pleasant to listen to.-Sci-
