TIRED OF HIGH LIVING.
Reason Boy Gave for His Collection

A member of the police force came
across q boy the other day, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, who was
wheeling home load of oyster cans and
bottles, and, curious to know what use
the lad could put them to, he made a
direct inquiry:
Going to throw them over into our
back yard" replied the boy. IT took two
loads home yesterday"
But what do you use them for?"
It's trick Of the family" grinned
The lad.
How trick?"
"rd just as lief tell" continued the
boy, as he spit on his hands to resume
hold on the barrow. 1--WE are going TO
have some relashuns come in from the
country. We may not have much to eat,
but if they see these cans and bottles
and boxes they'll think we've had listers,
champagne, figs and nuts till we've got

Church accommodations in Egypt
for English and American tourists and
residents are somewhat limited, and
particularly In winter, when the num-
Der of visitors Is greatest, are they
found insufficient. In Cairo, for that
reason, a service is held Sunday morn
ing in one Of the large drawing-rooms
Of the Gheziveh palace. This very gor-
geous palace was built by Ismail Pasha
and used for the reception and enter
tainment of his royal guests at the
opening of the Suez canal. 1t was the
millions spent on these festivities that
helped ruin Egypt and were the real
cause Of Ismail's downfall.
Now the palace Is used as q hotel
and In the reception rooms Ismail's
furniture and carpets are still kept,
although their garish colors are not
much in harmony with present-day
notions. In one Of these rooms the
women-for some reason men are not
often seen there-assemble, and, sit

dered chairs bearing the I. P. Of the

WAGES IN LUMBER CAMPS.
Experienced Woodsmen Go to Work
without STIMULATING Their Pay.

What wages are you receiving this
winter" was asked of well-known
woodsman the other day, reports the
Menominee (Mich.) Enterprise.
II don't know" was the reply. Evil
IDENTIFY seeing look of surprise, he con-
tinued: you see, when we come up
into the woods we never ask what our
wages are going to be. We simply get
our Job, pack our turkey and start for
camp. In the spring, if we do our work
satisfactory, we get the highest pay
that's going. A good man always gets
fair wages, and the companies invari-
ably treat him right when he gets down
in the spring in the matter of pay. No,
! never ask when l hire out what my
wages will be. There is one very good
reason for this. In the fall the towns
are always full OF men hunting for jobs
in the woods and naturally the wages
offered to those who ask are not very
large. Along toward the 1st of Janu-
airy these fellows get weeded out. Some
f,them are dissatisfied with their work
and quit, which leaves a scarcity of men,
and wages go up again. Now, II l
should ask whatmy wages were going to
be when hired out in the fall certain
ly could not expect more than had been
promised me. Experienced woodsmen
understand this, and never ask, and
when they settle up in the spring they
get good pay"

ELEPHANT BLOCKED THE WAY.
English Clergyman While Cycling
Has q strange Experience.


Has a Strange Experience.
This story comes from birmingham,
England: The clergyman of a neigh
boring town was returning home on his
bicycle. lie had been preaching IN an
adjoining village, and this means OF
locomotion was the one most suited to
his tastes and to his convenience. The
night was dark, and the rays of the
reverend gentleman's lamp did not
pierce far into the gloom. Suddenly
something seemed TO loom large, vague
and ominous before his eyes. He had
short sensation that he was rushing
on to some unknown doom; there was
a collision with something soft and of
shape most curious, and away flew the
machine one way and the cleric the
other. When the reverend cyclist had
pulled himself together he heard noises,
and there was CLEAN of a lantern
near at hand, flickering as though in
dicative of much agitation. Through
the darkness came a sleepy-looking
man, rubbing his eyes. From him the
cleric discovered that there was an ele-
plant stretched across the rather mar
row road. The animal had been as
awkward as "My Lord the Elephant"
of Rudyard Kipling creation. True, he
was not blocking a pass, but he had
fallen in the road on his side, and had
stopped there, refusing TO move. He
belonged to circus, did this trunked
obstruction, in course of transition
from one town TO another, and since
his fall had been left in charge of two
men with lanterns, who appear to have
fallen asleep. Beyond a few quiet and
quaint utterances, the elephant did not
mind. What the front wheel Of the
bicycle thought about it is not known.
