Second.-See that the coupon be-

NERVE OF A BOLD DRUMMER.
He Compelled q Railroad to Haul
Him in a Private Car to Sioux
Falls, s. ID.

His bold defiance of a railway corpo-
ration procured NJ. T. Mcneil the honor
Of special car recently from Fort
Dodge, Ia, to Sioux Falls, S. d. Nc
Neil is a Chicago travelling man. A few
days ago he bought a ticket over the
Illinois Central from Chicago to Sioux
Falls and engaged a berth in sleeper
for the entire trip. At Fort Dodge,
however, it was decided to turn the
train around and run it back to Chi
cago-a plan occasionally adopted
when travel is light. This compels the
Sioux Falls passengers to rise early and
change cars. Mcneil was accordingly
aroused, advised as to the situation and
peremptorily required to hurry on his
clothes and leave the sleeper. But not
he. He would ride to Sioux Falls in
that sleeper, he declared, or go back to
Chicago with it.. And then let the ILL
nois Central look out for damage
suit. The conductor offered to pay
his passengers hotel bill until another
sleeper arrived or do anything else in
reason to accommodate him. The trav-
cling man stuck for his rights and the
officials finally wired to headquarters
for instructions. On orders received
from there the car was then carried
through to Sioux Falls with Mcneil its
only occupant.

AUSTRALIAN MALLEE HEN.
lays Her Eggs I'm a Great Mound and
the Heat of the Sun Hatches
Them Out.

The strangest bird known, so far as
It's habits are concerned, is the malice
hen of Australia. It lays its eggs in
huge mound, which is really coopera-
tive incubator, being built by many
pairs of birds, and serving to hatch the
eggs of all the hens. Each year the
same flocks repair to the same mounds.
some Of which measure so yards at the
base and are $50 feet in circumference
The eggs are deposited about six inches
below the surface. While each hen lays
her eggs in the family mound, no hen
drops her egg closer than 20 inches to
that of her neighbor. These eggs are
deposited in cavity made by them in
vertical position, carefully covered,
and the surface smoothed over by the
hen before she quits the nest, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The eggs of the malice hen are out OF
all proportion to her size. They are as
large as those of a goose, and those OF
large hens are very much larger.
The eggs thus!laiGand covered in this
great sand oven in the hot districts are
never again disturbed by the hens. The
eggs are Matched by the heat the sun
bakes into the soil where they lay. II
has never been known how the young
chicks are excavated from their egg
grave, for the eggs are deposited fully
six inches below the surface. and the
hardening rains do not aid their exit

Averse to Recognition.
Nor from the standpoint of expedience do
think it would be wise or prudent for this gov
eminent to recognize at the present time the
independence OF the so-called Cuban republic.
Such recognition is not necessary in order to
enable the United States to intervene and
pacify the island. To commit this country now
to the recognition Of any particular govern
ment in Cuba. might subject us to embarrassing
conditions Of international obligation toward
the organization so recognized In case Of
Intervention. our conduct would be subject to
the approval or disapproval Of such govern
ment: We would be required to submit to its
direction and to assume to it the mere relation
Of friendly rep.y. When it shall appear

charging the functions of nation. and having!

for his picty and for his knowledge OF herbs was
its first distiller, and he wrote out his recipe
and it became one Of the treasures of the mon

camp and pledged his royal word that he had
never tasted anything better. The monks went
on making and distributing the cordial till the

HORACE c. DU Walls CAMPAIGN FOR THE ABATD-

There are various organizations in this city
for the prevention Of one thing or another Some
Of them have fine buildings for offices and wide
scope for work yet far is known one of
the greatest and most fragrant nuisances extant
is permitted to flourish untrammelled with only
now and then a muttcred protest. A campaign
against this nuisance is about 20 he begun. All
that has been wanting is leader. and he
has appeared The champion Of the cause
is Horace c. Du Val. 1t is beyond any doubt a
truth to say that when he takes the field and
starts his campaign he will gather around him
a loyal army Of tremendous influence
The nuisance Mr. Du Val has decided to annihi-
late is the hold the wire" liend Every busy
man knows what that means How often has A
man whose every moment is valuable had the

breaking answer. Hold the wire a minute"
Mr.. Du Val has suffered acutely with this
trouble. He has adopted a system Of his own
and in many of the most hagrant cases has
succeeded in reforming the offender. His method
is as follows: When the bell tingles and he is
asked for he steps to the telephone and this is
the conversation:
Hello"
YES this is Du Val: who wants me?'
Mr. Du Val? Yes. Hold the wire"---
So soon as he hears the word hold he drops
the receiver like hot cake and walks off Then
comes a furious ringing. and he goes back to the
telephone to hear:
Hello Hello Is this Mr.. Du Val?"

Here the receiver is dropped again. and then
in minute another furious ring. This time it
is likely to be the himself and then the
conversation goes all right A few doses OF
this severe treatment have prov ed exceptionally
beneficial. Mr.. Du Val thinks every busy man
ought to join his organization and make a per-
sonal campaign. He thinks in this way the
trouble can be greatly allayed. If not absolutely
cured.
