BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity. .t-,'

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity. Just
as they reached the middle of crossing
one. of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped d.
1ectly in front of cable car which was
rounding the corner: Of course the ca had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil.
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to
the side Of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear Of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared:
"Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street!", :.
Quirlz looked unutterably savage, but Perlz
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:

him for it."-Chicago Times-Herald.

Anger and Weakness,

The man who gives way to anger in
his own behalf is pretty sure to be a
weak character. He who is thrown
into an ungovsrnable passion, when
things do not turn out as he had hoped
. they would, thereby shows that he is
not equal to the situation. His exhi-
hition of ange is an unconscious con
fession Of his personal weakness. The
strong, brave man looks the disap-
Dointment: in the face and is calm. He
expects to surmount the obstacles be-
fore him, and to recover himself out
of his misfortune. But the man who
storms and raves, thereby makes it
evident that he lacks confidence in
himself, and that he can only vain
ly talk against the circumstances
which he feels unable to master. A
man in an angry passion rarely ac-
complishes anything, except such
things, as he is afterward sorry for.
Almost everywhere displayed anger is
Il hindrance to success. 1t throws the
mind into confusion; it prevents the
accomplishment of the best work
which the faculties might do. Select
the men who are frequently raving at
events and berating their fcllow-nen,
and you select the essentially weak
men, who neither win great respect
nor carry great weight in the commu-
I.ity. Anger resteth in the bosoms
of fools. .''-Detroit Free Press.

ORDERED TO TAMPA.

Gov Hastings received orders at
Camp Hastings yesterday from the War
Department to forward six regiments to
Tampa as soon as possible.
That number has been mustered in
and may be able to move not later than
tomorrow night. Cars are now in
waiting to transport the bravesKeystone
troops to the southern point of mobili-
zation, where they will be joined to the
forces now preparing to invade Cuba.
There is intense enthusiasm at camp in
consequence of the order.
The regiments to go will be the first
six that have been mustered IN. They
are the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth. The latter three
are from Western Pennsylvania, and
comprise almost half of the second Bri-
gade. These regiments are the first of
the volunteer army who will assist in
driving the Dons from the stricken Is
land of Cuba.
1t is considered that the ordering of
the Pennsylvania Guard into the field
at once is a sure sign Of appreciation
of their efficiency by Uncle Sam.
While no orders have been given ont the
army officers seem to think that the
greater part of Pennsylvania quota
will go to Cuba.
More than half of the Pennsylvania
Guard was mustered into the regular
service amid scenes that were both dra-
matte and pathetic.
