Marco Understood.
(From the Botson Record.)

tfrom the BotSon hecofd.)
A Young girl was crossing the public garden the
other morning upon the main path, which crossed
the bridge. She was accompanied by magnif-
cent mastiff, who strobe beside her in the most
companionable sort of way. looking up in her
face occasionally, if to remark casually that it
was very fine morning, or to ask if there was
anything he could do for her.
The two crossed the bridge together and finally
came to the Charles street gate. Here the Young
girl. evidently not wishing to have the care of
the dog in the busy streets, turned to him and
said: -urf xsEN
There, that is far enough now Marco YOU
need not go with me any farther, but turn about
and go back home"
She did not take her hands out of her muf to
point the way, and she spoke as she would to a
small brother, in pleasant conversational voice.
Marco looked at her with his large eyes, then
looked acrosss the Common, wagging his tail slow
lv, though he thinking how very pleas
ant it would bc to go the rest OF the way. Finally
he turned back to her again, and with movement
of his eyes and head asked her as plainly as
though the words had come from his mouth:
"Please let me 60 little farther il is such a
fine morning.
''No, dear; I'm going shopping, you know"
answered the girl explaining the difference, as
If Marco were human, ''theTe'll be crowds of peo-
pie and | shall not know what TO do with you.
But go along, now, there's good fellow, and I'll
be back soon"
Without another word Marco turned and walked
back across the gardens. He did not sink away,
as some dogs do when sent back. but marched
lcisurely along with his head in the air, stopped
a moment the bridge TO watch the children
skating below, then trotted toward Common
wealth avenue.

The Watch Guide.
CFrom the Kansas City star.)

Or rom the hdil>as Nlt1 ctdt.i
What are all these funny little
marks in your watch. Cousin Charley
asked the bright little girl who sat in
the young mans lap playing with his
gold timepiece.
.'Eh, let me see" said the young
man. taking the watch from her and
blushing
The little girls father looked at
Cousin Charley and winked. Let me
see, too," he said.
Inside the back cover of the watch
were several little, shiny spiral marks
that looked as though the gold had
been rubbed hard.
Eight times, eh?'' said the little
girls father. Been hung up quite
regularly. hasn't il?
What do you mean?' asked the
puzzled little girl.
Seem to have been there yourself,
replied Cousin Charley
What are you talking about?' the
little girl asked repeatedly
Little girls should be seen, not
heard suggested her father.
Twice a year." said Cousin Charley.
"Once in the spring and again in the
fall
"Overcoat time, 1 see," his uncle said,
nodding Understandings.
Now, the fact of the matter was this:
Inside the back cover of the watch were
eight little round marks made by acid.
They were made by pawnbrokers to
test the quality of the gold when the
watch was presented fer a loan. The
pawnbroker dipped the frazzled end of
a match in acid and scrubbed at a
place in the gold. If the acid made no
impression the gold was all right and
he made the loan. If the metal had
bubbled and frothed slightly where the
acid touched it the case vas not sold
and the foan refused
This, you see, was the reason the
funny marks were not explained to
the little girl. There are many watches
carried in fine tailor-made waistcoats
in which these funny little marks will
appear. 1t is one of the exigencies of
finance.

HICCOUGBS A TERROR.
A Prominent Railroad Man Pros
trated by Their Attack.

New York, March 3.-Beniamin A.
Hegeman, general traffic manager of the
Delaware, Lackawanna ard Western
Railroad, is the victim of a severe and
protracted attack of hiccoughs. 1t came
upon him a week ago, and he is in a
critical condition. His once vigorous con-
stitution, already weakened by the grip
when the hiccoughs assailed him. is now
shattered
Mr. Hegeman lives in Sycamore Avenue,
Rlainfield. n. j. He is sixty-five years
old, and up TO two weeks ago enjoyed ex-
cellent health. While on his way to his
Office one morning he. contracted cold
that developed into the grip. and he was
compelled to take to his bed. He began
to improve after few days, and was on
the way to recovery when, he was seized
with a slight attack Of hccoughs.
They passed away after a few hours.
but returned the following day. This was
a week ago yesterday
AT first the attack was ,lpot sufficiently
violent to cause alarm, but 1T increased
in severity until the third day, when Il
seemed as if death were only a matter
of q few hours. Mr.. eHegeman's const!-
tuition. which had been severely under
mined by the grip. began to give way
under the great strain caused by the hic-
coughs.
Members of his family were in despair.
They exhausted every remedy known to
them, but the spasms continued unabated.
Physicians were called In from all parts
of Plainfeld, and they held consulta-
tions and applied the various treatments
used in similar cases, but without sue
cess.
DIR. o. L. Jenkins. who has been sue
cessful in cases of hiccoughs. was called
in. BY this time the spasms had so ex-
hausted Mr.. Hegeman's strength that he
could not speak, although he was con-
scious. These violent spasms continued
until Monday, when they became less
severe. and settled down finally into
series of slow but consistent hiccougns.
They have since continued with prac-
tically no interruption and with no evil
dence Of relaxation. DR.. Jenkins applied
every remedy known to him, but to no
apparent purpose.
Mr.. Hegeman suffered an attack Of unu-
sual violence late last night and his con-
dition became critical. His breathing
was labored and he appeared to be grow
ing weaker.
DIR. Jenkins thinks Mr.. Hegeman may
recover, although, IL will be several days
before the spasms cease. Mr.. Hegeman
is one of the most widely-known railroad
men in the country, and has been con-
nected with the Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western for many years.

Two Eagles Electrocuted.

(From the San Francisco Examiner.)
Two gigantic eagles by a strange ac-
cident were electrocuted on the thick
copper wire by which the electric power
is transmitted for thirty-five miles into
Fresno from its mountain source. They
were burned to a cinder.
These wires are strung from the three
vertices of a frame shaped like an equi-
lateral triangle, and are twenty-five in
ches apart. The two top wires are on
the same level, and the great birds
found themselves quite close together
when they alighted.
1t is evident, however, that an at
tempt was made at closer companion
ship. Probably the lordly male leaned
over to whisper some sweet nothing"
into his mates willing ear. Be that as
ii may. their heads came close enough
together to establish what electricians
call short circuit" and IL 900 volts of
electricity flashed from the body of one
eagle to the other.
They fell forward across the wires.
dead. The intense heat generated by
the passage of the powerful current
from one wire to the other melted the
copper like so much wax, although the
wires are thicker than an ordinary lead
pencil Both wires fell to the ground
the great birds clutching their slight
but fateful perch in the grip of death.
The contact with the ground again es-
tabished a circuit, and though it could
not have lasted more than half a min
ute, both birds were almost completely
incinerated. Only the charred skulls
and the big talons. with heap of ash
es, a bit of wishbone and one or two
feathers remained to show the cause of
the trouble to the patrolmen who ap-
peared a couple OF. hours later to re-
pair the damage.
1t is known that the birds were ex-
posed to the electric current for only a
fraction of a minute, because immedi-
ately upon the breaking of the wires,
automatic alarms were sounded at the
power houses at both ends, and as
quickly as possible the current was
switched to a set of reserve wires, leav-
ing the broken wires free.
The linemen gathered the portable re-
mains of the eagles, cutting the wires
so as to leave them in the grip of the
talons, from which the muscles had
been burned. aad showing the ends of
the half-consumed leg bones.

A MAYNARD GIRL.
She Is Committed to the Children's

twenty-five years old, a salesman, of
No. 167 North Seventh Street. Williams
burg, yesterday. in the Lee Avenue PO-
lice Court, was held in 81, 900 bail for a
hearing on the charge of abduction. His
aCcuser was Mrs. Mary KlotZ. of No.
10l Morgan avenue. who alleged that
her daughter, Annie Peroe, aged fifteen
years, was enticed from her home by
Scheers. The girl was arrested on her
mothers complaint for being wayward
on Tuesday night, and when Scheers
heard Of her arrest he went to Mrs.
Klotz's house and vainly tried to induce
her to withdraw the charge. On her
refusal, Scheers, ii is alleged, told her
that he would go To court and effect
her daughters release. Mrs. KlotZ told
this to Magistrate Kramer yesterday
before the girl was arraigned. and as
the girl refused to make a complaint
against ScheeTs her mother lodged il.
Scheers was arrested in the courtroom.
The girl, on her mothers complaint.
was committed TO the custody Of the

CARL FREDERICK -AsToR.
He Is Discharged From an Humble
office by His Rich Kinsman.

New York, March 3.-Carl Frederick
Astor, the poor relative of John Jacob
Astor, who has been employed by his
millionaire cousin during the winter at
a salary of $44 a month, has lost his po-
sition. He has been discharged.
An officer of the estate SAYS It is be-
cause there is nothing for him to do.
Carl Astor says It is either because his
millionaire cousin does not care any
thing about it or else actually wishes TO
get rid of even giving him employment
at Si4 a month When he was given
work last fall one of the conditions de-
manded of him was that he give up US
Ing the name of Astor. His first consid-
Grafton being always the wife and child
rem looking to him for support, he made
no objection 10 dispensing with the name
in his work.
1t is now just four months since Carl
Astor first entered the employ of the
Astor estate. After numerous fruitless
endeavOrs to get employment last fall he
called at the offices of the Astor estate
in West Twenty-sixth Street, but was
received with seant courtesy. He hap
pened 10 meet John Jacob Astor on the
steps one day and put the case TO him
personally. The next day he received
a postal card without signature. direct
ing him to call at the offices in Twenty
sixth Street the day following. He was
living then, as he still is, at No 222
Railroad Avenue, Jersey City.
His fathers grandfather was a cousin
of Johann Jacob Astor. from whom the
AstOrs of New York are directly de-
scended, and both of them were the
grandsons of old Felix Astor.
He was gievn work for a few days on
some old houses i'm Sixth Avenue, be-
longing TO the Astor property. and was
then made fireman at the Westerly
Building in Hudson Street. 1t was while
here that his story reached the public
through the newspapers and he was
made elevator man i'm the Bangs Build
ing, Front and Pine Streets.
