up on a mule just as second rode up
on a horse. Each got down and spent
twenty minutes inspecting the others

queried:

Henry sat down on salt barrel and

then replied:

Jim took his time to inspect both AMI

Then he scratched his head and said:

ton, which included saddles. brides

You might go along and help me to

voices in chorus, and everybody caught
his breath and felt that bloodshed was
near.

are saved! If can knock down dol

ent men were jawing and gesticulat-
ing, and twenty other men and women
were hoping there'd be clean knock
out before the row was over.
Its luck of the luckiest sort"
chuckled the conductor as he rubbed
his rands together and forgot to ring
up the fare. Nov, then, observe the
sudden and wonderful change, and
after this he prepared to bow to the
influence of beauty"
No sooner had that daisy of a girl
entered the car than a wonderful
transformation took place. The seven
men ceased to jaw and gesticulate; the
big man who had been called hog
bobbed up to offer her a seat; the fat
woman with the bundles dug the next
passenger with her elbow and tried to
create an inch of space, and the man
with the big feet smiled blandly down
on the pug-nosed woman and freely
forgave her. Everybody grew good
natured and accommodating in mo-
ment, and even the man who was ready
to fight for Dewey and Schley touched
his hat and said in less aggressive
tones:
"Of course, you will understand that
I'm not saying a word against the
brave fellows who made up our army
and won the admiration of the world
at large"

Parisians," observed the Cincinnati wo-
man who had just returned from Eu-

a farce to return to the hotel. We had
scarcely gotten under way when we
knocked down a pedestrian, and
pulled the strap and said to the driver:

THIS WAS CURIOUS.
A Baby Born with eedle In Its
Thigh

Baby Born with eedle In Its
Thigh.
Mrs. Oscar Stanley of Anderson,
Ind, gave birth TO a baby boy nine
days ago. When it was placed in care
OF the nurse she found a rather pecul-
lar pimple on the inside of it's
thigh. She thought nothing of it at
first, but it began to get very sore and
also became very large. When she
was bathing the child her hand came
in contact with a sharp projection.
She called physician and he found
that there was needle in the child.
1t was finally extracted and proved to,
be two inches in length. 1t was in the
child when it was born. He thinks the,
mother swallowed 1T probably many
years ago. The child is sound as a
dollar today and will never be bothered
because of the fact that he was born
with a needle in him.

THE BLACK FOREST.
The Cattle and People Live in the Same
Houses.

The Black forester is, without excep-
tion, the most conservative being in the
world. Helives exactly the life that
his foTefatbers have done for hundreds
of years, and cannot be pursuaded to
change it. With running streams on
every hand he might, for instance, have
the electric light, as the Swiss peasant
has. But he will have none of it. He
prefers the candle dips of his ancestors.
Even when he acquires a little money he
prefers to go on leading his aborious
life.
From one end of the forest to the 9TH

ever. They are too serious minded for
that. Perhaps, also, too hard worked !;
in fact, their work, especially that of the
women, is never ending. YET the Black
foresters have an ear for music, and one
OF the Industries which they have
brought to perfection, together with
wooden clock making, is the manuf4ct.
ure of those enormous musical boxes
called orchestriOns. which are a whole
orchestra ia themselves.
Except in the villages and small towns
every family has its own dwelling house
and land partly arabic and partly forest.
The houses are the quaintest structures
imaginable. They are all built on the
same plan, even the newest. Or the
ground floor are the cattle, horses and
pigs; on the second floor are the living
rooms, mere boxes with the smallest and
Tudest windows, above is stored the hay
and other agricultural produce, the
whole surmounted by an enormous STOP
ing roof of slate or thatch which comes
down to within few feet of the ground.
covering in a sort of rude veranda which
runs round the primitive structure.
The absence of coquetry on the part
Of the women OF the forest is very mark
ed, but still more so is their want of
taste. On market days at Furtwangen,
TIiberg and other centers the strangest
of headgear is tie be seen. A high point
ed hat, like that which used to be worn
in Wales, is the most becoming. Occas-
naliy this, in straw, assumes the shape
OF the male top hat If civilization and is
then painted dark yellow or a bright
red. A lit bigger in the scale Of &c.
centricIty is hat of the leghorn shape,
surmounsed by three enormous balls
like those of the pawnbroker. How the
women maEage to wear this without hav-
ing violent headache is a wonder, for
they weigh several pounds.

NATIONAL LABOR DAl
THE HOLIDAY TO BE QUIETLY
OBSERVED
Foresters' Excursion and Picnic tc
Rubio Canyon-Socialist La
Dor Party Meet

This Is National Labor day, and as such
will be observed in this city by the Federal
institutions, including the courts and post
office, the banks and the city officials.
There will be no public demonstration by
the laboring men, as they prefer to reserve
their funds and efforts for State Labor day,
which is peculiarly a California holiday.
However, many of the shops and stores
will be closed today and the employees
will enjoy a quiet holiday.
The Foresters give an excursion and pic
mic at Rubio canyon and those who desire
to attend will take the train on the Ter
minal railroad which leaves the city at 1850
this morning.
The Socialist Labor party will hold a
celebration tonight at Music hall. The An
geleno quartet, Nicholson Bros. and 9TH
ers will furnish some good music. There
will be an address on '"rhe Significance OF
Labor Day." by Rev. R. M. Webster. and
an illustrated lecture by Job Hartman. No
admissions will be charged.
