WISER THAN HE WAS.

A Canadian named NJ w. Thompson.
who arrived in Seattle yesterday morning
from Toronto, is wiser than he was twen-
ty-four hours ago. Thompson rushed into
the police station about o'clock yester-
day afternoon and gasped out something
In which the words zone hundred dollars
were mixed up. After he had regained his
breath he told that he had fallen in with
Iron Foot johnson. who had showed
him a game in which he was TO guess a
card. Thompson remarked that for sew
eral guesses he was all right and the
game was an easy one.
Then Iron Foot moved that they be,
$40 on the game. and the Canadian want
ing TO make money easy. agreed. He put
up 500 and Iron Foot" put up his check
for 81 go. johnson had a confidante who
held the stakes. Thompson guessed He
guessed hard, but he lost He took the
check. however. for security that the
game was only for fun. Then Johnson
rocked away down the street on the iron
extension to his leg that has earned him
his sobriduet. Thompson felt sure that
he had been jobbed. but the confederate
said. Come along with me; I can get at
least 800 on this check: the hoteIkeeper
will cash II for me-
The Toronto man agreed When they
got to the hotel the confederate told him
10 wait on the sidewalk while he went In

Thompson waited and waited until his
patience was exhausted. Then he went
into the hote! and found that the man

A Private Asked That Magnate for a
Match and Got 1t, Too.
From the Baltimore Sur

Tampa, Fla, June HE was only a
private of the Fifth Maryland, a tall,
slight Baltimore boy, and a recruit at that.
He sauntered into the Tampa Bay Hotel
last Sunday night, stood in the great ro-
tunda and gazed with wonder on the
crowd of grave and gay officers thinking
to himself, perchance, if he would ever
wear gilded epaulets.
He put a cigarette between his lips, felt
in his blouse pocket for a box of matches,
and not being able to find any, went to-
ward the desk of the hotel to tell his
troubles to 3 clerk in the hope Of securing
a sulphur-head. The clerks We're all too
busy to notice a private, and the Baltimore
boy looked around anxiously to see some
one who could supply him with fire for the
coffin stick" he held between his lips.
Lots of officers In full dress uniform
were putting fine Havana, but he trem-
bled at the thought of asking any of these
for fire. Hope soon swelled in his bos-
ON, however, as be saw approaching him
an elderly man dressed In a plain black
business suit, who had just lighted a ci-
gar.
Say partner, give us a light" said the
Marylander.
The plain, elderly gentleman ran his
hand into his vest pocket and handing q
match to the soldiers, said: with pleas
ure sir" Then he passed on his way
with his head dropped in bordering pose.
Chief Porter OConnor of the hotel. a
quick witted Kerry Irishman, approached
the private and asked:
do you know who that man was who
gave you the match?"
mo" replied the youthful private.
"Who was it?"
Gen. Miles, replied O'Connor.
The private had an incredulous smile on
his face for an instant. but when the por-
ter convinced him that it was really the
major-general commanding the United
States Army the Maryland boy looked
more serious and said:
We'll he ought to wear something to let
us know who he is. Any one is liable ia
ask for favor, he looks so obliging."
The private stood there until he saw the
general pass again. Then he summed up
all his so,dierly energies and putting on
his finest attitude, gave the general a sa-
lue that would have done credit to one of
Napoleon's household guard.
Don't tell any of the boys about the
break I made said the private to the
porter; they would kid me to death"

FIGHT ON a MARSH.
a Swapping Turtle Catches n Crow
and other Crows Come 10 the Res
From the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Chestertown, Nd, June 21.-Mr. Benja-
min Rust gives an interesting account Of
q combat between a large swapping tur-
tie and a vast number of crows, which
he witnessed a few days ago. While
noted for his shyness, the crow is also
noted as a vicious fighter in defense Of his
own household. Mr.. Rust noticed a great
commotion among the crows in a meadow.
The birds were darling down, making
vicious thrusts with their beaks and
pounding away with their wings at the
same time keeping up tremendous chat
ter. 1t was noticed that one crow, though
Tapping vigorously. was unable TO get
away. An examination disclosed the
cause of the trouble to be a big swapping
turtle, which had seized a crow by the
wing and held it captive and was max
ing his way to a branch, where it is sup
posed the bird would have been dragged
down and drowned, preparatory to being
eaten. Mr.. Rust captured the snapper
and released the crow.
Snappers do no small amount of damage

their prey by the foot as they swim along

they are drowned proceed to devour them

How Biddy Cntches Rats.

From the Wilmington Morning News.
John Hamilton, near Eleventh and Church
streets. mas a Plymouth Rock hen which
has developed into quite a rat killer The
trait first manifested itself some weeks
ago when one Of the men about the stable
found a rats nest and threw the rodents
into the yard. The hen spoken about was
noticed eating the young rats, apparent
~ with a great deal of relish
Since then she has been seen on several
occasions under the Manager, where there
was a great rat hole. She would stay
there for hours at a time Some of the
men about the place thought the hen was
"broody" but one of the drivers insisted
upon it that she was watching for rats.
This statement was laughed at, but yes
terday morning it was proved beyond a
doubt
Mr.. Hamilton was standing at the back
door of the office. and heard a great
squeaking In the stable He went to the
door and just then the Plymouth Rock
hen came from under the manger where
the rat hole Is, and in her bill was a rat
easily one-third grown
The fowl held the rodent in her beak sus-
pended by a hind foot. The rat was
squirting and twisting at a great rate.
Some of the other fowls tried to get at the
captive, but the rat catcher was too quick
lOT lH6uu- one ran as IdSI as she could,
all the time shaking her head from side
to side. The rat was trying to bite and
would probably have done so If the hen
had not shaken 1t so violently. Finally.
some of the men drove the other chickens
away, and the Plymouth Rock was al
lowed to do as she pleased She released
her hold on the rate, and when it tried
TO get away pounced upon it and picked
out it's eyes. After that a few hard blows
with the beak and the rat was as dead as
rOuld he
