GLAD SHE DIDN'T YELL.
When She Found Out Thnt Her Indus
trious NeighbOr Was Not COM
hitting Suicide.

A certain East end man delights in doing
odd jobs about his home. He cuts his grass
and trims the walks, and handles a paint
brush like an old master. Carpenter tools
come handy to him, too, and the sound of his
merry saw makes pleasant music for the
neighbors, who have no objection to being
awakened early. In short, he is clever all
round workman, and decidedly handy to
have about the house
One day not long ago the woman of the
house next door happened to come out on her
back porch. There she casually looked over
the low fence into the handy mans yard,
What she saw scared her so that she couldn't

ing prone on his back, his body concealed
beneath his porch, but with his face in strong
-elief. He was very pale, his hair was dis.
ordered, and his eyes were rolled up and
fixed in a CHASTITY intentness. Against his
breast he seemed to be pressing some deadly
weapon, that glstened as ray of light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried to scream,
and couldn't. She knew the handy man wai
committing suicide.
He painted, his face grew red, and his form
seemed convulsed.
The woman on the porch caught her agon,
lied breath and was about to let out Al
horse power yell when she heard the sup
posed suicide anxiously ask:
Isn't it through YETI"
Yes" said voice from above, ut beer
yoost through"
About this time the woman on the porch
understood that the handy man was boring
an auger hole through the floor of his porch
that the deadly weapon was an auger, and
that the hired girl was on hand to watch
the operation.
Then the woman on the porch was glad she
didn't yell.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

JOKE ON The CUBAN BANDIT.
E<-Sccretary of State Sherman lie
Iates a story of Narrow
Escape from Capture.

few weeks ago eX-Secretary of
State Sherman told the members of
President McKinley's cabinet while they
were interestedly discussing the Cuban
situation, that he once had hair-curl-
ing adventure in Cuba. 1t embraced
the story of a weird plot by Cuban
banditti to kidnap the Ohio senator
and two other distinguished Americans
and hold them in ransom in the fastness
of the interior. The aged statesman
says he had departed from Havana be-
fore he learned of the conspiracy against
his liberty, but the evidence was so
circumstantial that he was compelled
to believe it.
With Gen. McCook and Congressman
Henderson, in the spring of 1887, Sem
ator Sherman made a tour of Cuba.
The island was then in a state of peace,
and the legislators saw little that was
exciting. a few days previous to their
departure, however, Senator Sherman
was interested in the story about big
sugar plantation at Colon, and told the
captain general he would like to see it.
but the country up there is infest-
ed with banditti," demonstrated the
Spanish official. ut would be danger
Gus trip"
The Americans insisted on going,
however, and the captain general fur
| nished them with an armed squad. Sus-
picion as to the integrity of the owner
of the sugar plantation, Pedro Lam
berto Fernandez, was strong. and the
officials warned the guard to watch the
employees and their superiors closely,
| The trip was made hurriedly. The visit
ors suffered no molestation, and re-
| turned to Havana without interruption.
But after they had left the sugar plan
tation there was an exciting incident.
Sancho Matagas, leader of a strong
band of Cuban banditti, rode up to the
| plantation with 20 armed men. They
dismounted and surrounded the build
ings. The first act of the robbers was
| to kill an overseer who communicated
to them the unwelcome intelligence
that the Americans had gone. Then
they searched all the buildings and re-
ceived confirmation of the news. 4
pursuit was talked of, but the hoped-for
prey had obtained too much of a start.
When the story of the projected raid
and kidnapping was brought to Havana
| the authorities sent an expedition to
capture Matagas and make an investi-
cation. They did not catch the Cuban
bandit chief, but they ascertained that
the story of the plot against Sherman
| and his friends was true. 1t was a
bold conspiracy. The banditti had ex-
pected to secure a rich ransom for
their intended captives. They had
heard of Senator Sherman's reputed
| fortune of $2,OOO,O0O and knew his body
was worth a pile of money TO them.
Senator Sherman was shocked when
| he heard, in safety, of his narrow es-
cape. But he smiled grimly and re-
marked that it was undoubtedly joke
on the Cuban bandit.-Chicago Chron-
icle

THE HOUR OF THE SHADOW

Into the old cathedral, tall and gray,
day;
And, kneeling PROSTATE in the shadows
deep,
He closed his eyes and entered into sleep.
Above, among the manipulated walls,
He saw white stars, and hats Of cardinals.
Professions marched with cross and cam
dies bright,
And incense carried by an acolyte.
And far above the faces of the throng,
Rose the grand music of a sacred song:
REST, rest to the weary,
Peace, peace to the soul:
Though life may be dreary,
Earth is not thy goal"
But long the pilgrim marveled, thinking
more
OF that great service with no burial host.
At night a verger pacing on the floor
Found him; and he was buried at God s
door.
Poor, homeless outcast in the shadows
He knew not that the song was sung for
him.
30 lay down thy burden,
o come unto Me:
I will not forsake thee,
Though all else should fee"

HANDLING A MODERN RIFLE.
1t Is n Task Which No Fellow Can Do
without instruction and
Practice.

The magazine rifle, caliber 30" IA
military called the Krag-J orgensen, is
the erm equipment of the infantry of
the United States army. 1t has range
of about three miles, and an accuracy
never before attained in small arms;
that is, when in the hands of a man
trained to its use, for at the same dis
lance properly-instructed soldier will
pick off a man and the unframed one
will miss barn
When one of these rifles is put in the
hands of a new man the theory of its
care and use is explained to him by a
nAl-commissioned officer, and before
the lecture is through his feelings is
something like those of Mark Twain
after receiving his first lesson in pilot
ing. He is ready to say: Sergeant, 1
never can get all that into my head,
and if l did it would be so heavy that
my legs would not be able to support it..
l would have to 60 on crutches."
The sergeant's reply would be like
that of Marks perceptor: MY son, you
have got to learn it, or you will never
be able to use your rifle. You will get
next bunk. Go to him, and let him
overlook every time you tilt latch or
turn a lever. Little by little you will
learn it all, but if you are not careful
you will have your piece unserviceable
before you are aware of it"
Then comes the training in the gall
lery at close range, the grip of the
piece, the pull on the trigger, the prop
er time and degree of expansion of
the lungs, the proper eXpirations, etc.
And after that comes estimating dis
tances. The theory of the course of the
projectile through the air, the elevation
required for certain distances. The re-
cruit is taught that the expulsion OF
the bullet from the barrel gives it that
eccentric movement called drift, and
that the air gives it another movement
called windage; that atmospheric con-
ditions often carry with them optical
delusions, so that while the target APP
pears to be at a certain place it is in
reality several feet distant, and in order
to shoot well he has to estimate these
influences separately and in combina-
ton in every variation of light and
wind.
BY continued application he masters
point after point, until what first APP
pears to be a tangled mass now proves
to be a pleasing study, and then he
thinks he knows it all, but he doesn't.
Thus it is seen that every experienced
soldier in the army is an expert, cap
able teacher, whose services are needed
as such.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Recent studies of the animal life of
Lake Tanganyika have shown that that
lake differs from all the other African
lakes in possessing inhabitants that be-
long to oceanic species. Still, these
singular denizens of Lake Tanganyika
are not exactly like the marine organ
isms of the present day, and the con-
clusion is drawn that a sea, connected
with an open ocean, once occupied the
part of Africa where Tanganyika now
lies, and that the lake is the last rem
nant of the ancient sea.

THE VICE OF ECONOMY.
1t Becomes Extravaganza when
OVerdOne in Fixing Over
Old GOXvns.

Economy is the most eXtravagant of
vices when it comes to the matter of
fixing over old gowns. They hang in
the wardrobe and lure us on to ruin and
the bargain counter to get the neces-
sary wherewithal to remodel them; it
will take such a little bit of money, and
the fashion magazines are full of delu-
sive cuts labeled: scheme for doing
over last seasons gowns" We look at
the cuts, and we are theirs.
These sartorial snares ought to be la
beled: "Neni, vidi, Wei" They come,
see and conquer every woman with the
least faint of economy in her blood
If you really can't withstand the
temptation of making over your last
seasons gown, exercise a Spartan self
control, make up your mind exactly
how much you are going to spend on it
and don't exceed the amount by one
penny.
All the so-called aids to the econom-
zeal girl-that advise covering up the
slightly soiled silk skirt of last season
with pillows of lace-should be treated
as just so much airy persifage. because,
forsooth, if one can afford pillows of
lace one can afford a new silk skirt and
start fresh deal all around.
An old dress is an old dress any wav
you look at it-and worse. any way your
friends look at it-for they. too. have
had their turn at the economical "hold-
up" and the trail of the economist is
over them all.
Therefore, put not your faith in the
billows-of-lace cure, or the overdress-
ot-Brussels-net cure, or any other sort
of a cure that will require more cash
than the original garment is worth
Such little sartorial bracers as new
neck ruffies, new sleeve pieces and diff
ferent arrangement of waist trimming
are often advisable, but do not indulge
in the pleasing fallacy that you can get
dressmaker in by the day. set her at
an old dress and then have Doucet-like
effects to make your friends envious.
There is a clever woman here in New
York who keeps all her old dresses to
rip up when things go wrong. She
never carries the madness further than
the ripping-up stage, and her friends
wonder what is The secret of her anna
bility.-N. Y. World

GERMAN MARRIAGE LAWS.
CURED to Make Queer PubIi-
cation in His Native Town.

Strict laws regarding marriage are
enforced by the German government.
1t must be demonstrated to constitute d
authorities that everything is lawful
and proper before contracting parties
are allowed to join hands. Julius Gott-
lieb, a naturalized American citizen re-
siding in Pleasanton, Kan, passed
through Chicago few days ago en-
route to his western home, having Just
returned from Germany, where he had
welded the sweetheart of his youth.
Mr.. Gottlieb had almost forgotten the
rigid laws of his native land, and told
friends in this city that he was much
surprised at the requirements. Before
the officials would ALLOW the ceremony
to take place they compelled Gottlieb
to have published at his home in Kan
SAG notice that the marriage was
about to take place and they then re-
quired an affidavit of this publication
from the editor for filing in the pub
lie records. The notice appeared as fol-
lows in the columns of a Pleasanton
paper over a German officials sigma
ture:
Hereby it is brought to general
knowledge:
81. That the Buyer, Julius Gottlieb,
resident of (aO Pleasanton, state of
Kansas, at present sojourning Changing
on or abouD in Bosen, son of the mer-
chant Solomon Gottlieb and the Sybil-
liza born in Lion, both resident at Bosen,
county of Birkenfeld.
"2. That the unmarried and unincum-
bered (matrimonially) William Sender,
resident at Nohballenbach, daughter of
the guest server Simon Sender and his
lawful Bertha born in Herr, both resi-
dent at Nohballenbach, desire to enter
with each other in marriage.
"1he making known of this notice
has been done in the congregation OF
Bosen, Nohballenbach and the Ameri-
can newspaper, the Pleasanton Observ-
er. And if there are objections (speall-
ing against they will be brought in to

the police, and approaching the lady in
charge, explained the situation. She
was a German frau of spotless morals,
and she listened calmly to my tale, the
cold contempt Of a narrow, literal ma

comedy of the situation did not strike
