at the back of the long frock coat 1
wore. I paid no particular attention
to it. for the place was crowded and
many people before had pushed me.
In q moment, however, somebody
touched me on the shoulder snd said:
Give me my watch. jack I looked
around and found the speaker to be a
great friend Of mine. I haven't got
your watch, JIM said. oh, come off, ;
said he, you pulled it out of my pocket
as passed you He was very serious
about it and, SO I became serious, too.
I protested that I couldn't possibly have
taken the watch, and my first friend
bore me out. Finally Jim said he
thought his chain might have caught
upon one Of the buttons at the back of
my coat. put my hand back and felt
something in the tail pocket, whose
opening was just under the two useless
buttons which tailors tack on there. I
reached in and there was Jim's watch
sure enough. The timepIece had been
yanked out of Jim's pocket into mine.
Fact, s'help me-"

A DECOY COW.
Nebraska Mans Clever Device To-
Hunting Geese.


Hunting Geese.
John SEWERS, of AInes, Neb., made a
practical test of his hunting device re
Gently and it proved success, says the
Omaha Bee. The device is in the shape
of n cow. It is made of canvas. with
a steel frame, and can be folded into
a small space, except the head and
neck. The decoy is operated by two
u,el, one standing in the fore legs and
one in the hind legs, each IN a slightly
STOPPING posture. 1t Is painted brown
and black and in such shape that when
standing up it cannot be readily dis
tinguished at a distance of 600 yards
from a large COW. The front man can
see what is going on through couple
Of holes in the neck. Recently Mr..
Sewers and D. B. Curtis took the decoy
out in the field and soon sighted flock
of geese: They put on the decoy and
were able to get within less than 30
yards before the geese few. They few
up and slowly settled down about 100
yards away and did not appear TO be
much frightened. The head of the de-
vice is hinged to the body and can be
dropped by the front man when in
shooting distance. The rear man fires
through a door near the top and cen
ter of the back. Mr.. SEWERS Is well
pleased with the success of the device
and has received many inquiries from
hunters in regard TO it. He expects TO
have several decoys manufactured.

Get. Back No Change.

"A London judge has ruled that where
a worshiper by mistake puts larger
amount than intended into the church
collection box the money cannot be re-
funded on plea of error, says the OF
tawa Free Trader. The decision grew
out of suit brought by woman who
attends services in the fashionable
Episcopal church at Regents park
against the vicar and church wardens,
her contention being that, during a fit
of mental alteration, she had placed in
the plate sovereign (s5) instead Of a
shilling (25 oents). She therefore
sought to recover S4.75. The court
held that the moment the money fe.l
into the plate it became an accepted
offering to the Lord and that neither
the church officials nor the courts are
at liberty to authorize its return to the
donor. This is said TO be the first case
and decision OF the kind on record and
may stand as precedent for many gen.
erations to come.

Tarpon Hook and the Various Ella
crate Attachments That Go with II

Tarpon Hook and the Various Elab-
crate Attachments That Go with 1t.
The most costly of fish hooks are
those for tarpon. They are sold at re-
tail at various prices from one
dollar q dozen for bare hooks UP
20 seven dollars a dozen for hooks
fitted up. The standard tarpon
hook is four inches in length.
Some tarpon fishermen prefer TO mount
their own hooks. They have ideas Of
their own as to the best way and the
best materials, says the New York Sun.
A swivel is always used. Some of the
hooks that are sold fitted up have smells
of German silver chain. Sometimes
laces of rawhide or porpoise skin are
used for smells. Some hooks are fitted
with smells of piano wire two feet Long,
made in three lengths of eight inches
each, linked, to prevent knking. Fit
ted up tarpon hooks that are sold at
seven dollars dozen are provided with
36-ineh braided or plated linen smells,
wound for two-thirds of their length,
from the upper end downward, with
copper wire. The tarpon swallows the
hook and its teeth are brought up on
the smell where it is protected by the
COPPER wire. Sometimes a shark takes
the bait. Il is desired to lose the shark
without the trouble of hauling it in and
casting it off, and the shark is likely to
free itself by biting through the I'M
protected lower third of the smell.
While the tarpon hook IS the costliest
of the hooks there are fys that sell for
more; there are some salmon fys thai
retail as high as nine dollars dozen.

p per cent, and the difference between
this and the rate of natural increase is
ascribed by Mr.. Brown to migration
from the south. Mr.. Brown also shows
that there are great inequalities in the
distribution of the colored people in
the south. In some sections the negroes
enormously outnumber the whites, as
in South Carolina and along the Missis-
sippi from Memphis nearly to New Or
leans, and in these sections the dispar-
ity is increasing. In other sections the
negro is almost nonresident, averaging
only one per cent. Of the total popula-
ton. This is notably true of nearly
one-half of the state of Texas. It is
further pointed out that in these Sec
tions the white population is increas,
ing faster than the average.

Along the coast OF Florida and Gcor.
fishermen call the singing sfad" are
often heard. They differ from the coEl-

in the formation of theirmouths. Their
singing is pleasant ct first, but sooY

hat It is constant repetition OF the
same sounds.

"These railroads are positively the

Why should ne make himself a prisoner
