How He Wanted to Pay.

Some years ago an afray among
miners in the west resulted in murder,
and Senator Thurston, believing the ac-
cused to have been innocent in inten-
ton, took up his case and greatly
mitigated the lads punishment. Six
months afterward a man. armed to the
teeth, appeared in Thurston's Office.
BE you Squire Thurston?"
Eyes"
"Be you the man that defended Jack
Bailey at court?'
The senator, thinking his last hour
was come, again answered, Yes"
"Well, I'm Jack Bailey's pardner,
and I've come to pay you. I haven't
got any money, but I'm a man of hon
or. Anybody in town you don't like?"
AS the senator smilingly disclaimed
any thirst for booty or blood, the caller
insisted incredulously: Put on your
hat, squire, and just walk down the
street. See anybody you don't like,
throw up your thumb and TIL pop
him."-Youth's Companion.

THE DOORBELL.
1T Tells What Manner of Man You
Are by Your Ring.

Doorbells are pretty fair indicators
OF character. Probably you have not
been conscious of it, but every time
you pull doorbeIl you register what
manner OF man you are. Your ring will
not tell everything about you, from
the color of your eyes to your taste in
flowers, but to those who know the
page. Any one who has had occasion
to answer bell pulls knows how much
difference there is in them. One per-
sons method varies little from time to
time, though the difference between
that method and somebody else's,
while slight, will be sufficiently well
marked. 1t is seldom that two rings
are exactly alike
The housewife recognizes each, the
impatient man, who pulls the bell
twice in quick succession and does not
wait long before trying it again; the
one Of more phlegmatic temperament,
whose ring is slower and more sub
stantial; the hesitating woman, who
draws the knob out in a succession of
nervous jerks; the seedy Individual
with matches to sell, who stretches
the wire carefully to it's full length
and then allows it to relax with
faint, apologize tinkle, and the jolly
friend, who knows he is welcome, and
therefore grasps the knob with hear
ty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature, and sets the bell to shak-
ing it's sides with such peals Of echo
ing laughter that it positively cannot
stop at once, but subsidies gradually
with q merry, irrepressible little litter.
A doorbell has as many voices as WIS.,
itors.-Berlin (Md.) Herald.

A letter in a Glasgow paper records
a phenomenon much too remarkable
to be reserved for Scottish consump-
ton. The writer says: "An acquaint-
ance of mine, who lives up north, has
among others Of the feathered tribe a
little bantam cock. A few weeks ago
he noticed that it was looking the
worse for slight difference of opinion
with a canine friend, but did not ex-
anime it closely till his mothers and
sisters vociferations brought him in
a hurry. There was the bantam pick
ing away at corn, but the corn was
dropping from a rent in the birds
chest just as fast as it was lifted. Not
wanting to kill the bird, my friend got
a needle and some horsehair and
stitched up the tear, with the result
that the bird now is as good as new"

Be Comfortable.

Devote your energies to being com
Portable. Nothing will aid you so much
as simplicity. Don't try to follow all
the fads invented by fools. In the first
place, get a comfortable place to live.
Get good cellar. Get a good cistern.
Fix your water pipes SO they won't
freeze. Fix yourself so that you can
be warm in winter and reasonably
cool in summer. Have things handy
around the house. Give up your mem
bership in literary and card clubs and
devote your attention to your own
affairs. It you can't find enough to
keep you busy, it is a sign you don't
look very closely. -Atchison Globe.

TO Test Wall Papers.

Arsenic is very often present in the
pigment used for wall papers, and as
walls with paper containing deadly
poison ones health must suffer. It is
important. therefore, to select wall pa
pers which do not contain arsenic, and
the method of testing them is simple in
the extreme. Take a piece Of the paper
and light it, and if arsenic be present
you will notice an odor like that of
garlic. Do not inhale the smoke An
other way Of testing the paper is to
pour over it a little diluted hydroch1or-
ic acid. If the greens in the pattern
become blue in this treatment it is be-
cause they contain arsenic. Home

The hardest won bet I ever made"
remarked the travelling man as he
shook the ashes of his cigar, was to
carry four bricks half a mile. That
sounds like simple thing to do,
doesn't it2 Well, you try It and you
will find out whether 1t is or not. OF
course the manner Of carrying the
bricks is important. A man bet me
that couldn't carry two bricks In each
hand from where we were back to the
hotel and put them up on the bar. The
bricks were to be put side by side and
the thumb and fingers, the fingers
pointing down. / was not allowed to
stop and rest, nor to put the bricks
down.
We'll, thought I, that's So easily
earned, SO took the bet and started.
For a quarter of the distance it was
|easy and I already felt those two sill
yer dollars in my pocket. But then my
fingers began to grow tired. The mus
| cles between my forefngers and
thumbs were soon aching terribly. My
arms began to pain me and to throb
like mad. L found myself setting my
teeth together and the cords in my
neck were in a high state Of tension.
When l came within a hundred yards
! Of the hotel there was scarcely an inch
In my whole body that was not aching
as If had been stuck full Of pins.
II don't know how managed to go
that last little distance. I could no
longer stand erect, and was trembling
like leaf, and yet the other fellow
was alongside, laughing as if to split his
sides. And when I got into the bar
room, it was all could do to raise first
| one hand and then the other and put
the bricks on the counter I know that
I couldn't have gone 80 feet farther.
I got the 50, but the next day I could
scarcely move, and didn't get over
the soreness for a week. It looks easy,
but just you try it."-Detroit Free

Pretty Surprises Met With In Il Ge-
nevn Music Box Factory. %-.a
The chief industry of Geneva is the
manufacture of musical boxes. Thou
sands Of men, women and children are
employed in the factories, one of which
was visited by a traveller who gives
some interesting particulars about his
visit.
An attendant invited him to take a
seat He did so, and strains of delight
full music came from the chair. He
hung his hat on rack and put his
stick in the stand. Music came from
both rack and stand. He wrote his
name In the visitors register, and on
dipping his pen into the ink music
burst forth from the inkstand.
The manager Of the factory explain
boxes, a business which requires pa
thence and nicely.
The different parts are made by men
who are experts In those parts and
who do nothing else year in and year
out
The music is marked on the cylinder
by a man who has served several
years Of apprenticeship. Another man
inserts in the marked places pegs
which have been filed to a uniform
length. The comb, or set of teeth,
which strikes the pegs and makes the
sound is arranged by a man who does
nothing else. The cylinder is then re-
volved to see that every peg produces
a proper tone.
The most delicate work Of all is the
revising Of each peg. 1t is done by a
workman who has a good ear for mu-
sic. He sees that every peg is in it's
proper place and is bent at the correct
angle.
When the instrument is in it's case,
an expert examines 1t to see that the
time is perfect--St. Louis Republic.

Along the noisy city ways,
And in this rafting city car,
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and Jar,
When suddenly a young. sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent it something Of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as cold within,
Gssd truth was just as full of doubt,
The world was just as full OF slrs
But In the light Of that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew warm,
And sunshine cleaned a little while
Across the darkness OF the storm
I did not care to seek her name.

Reports from Duluth indicate that the
recent rumors that the Eastern Mime
sofa pfopofses to extend its recently ac-
quired mining road from Hipbing to Vir-
ginia are not entirely without founda=
ton, and from present indications are
likely to be materialized.
During the past week officials of the
Eastern Minnesota, Great Northern and
a representative of the American Steel
& Wire Company have gone over the
range on tours of inspection, planning
for the future development of the min
ing property recently acquired The
Steel & Wire company is largely inter-
ested in the development OF the range
and the completion Of the branch to Vir-
ginia would give them an outlet from the
Santry mine. The party visited Hibbing
Virginia and Mountain Iron and went
from there to Tower and Ely, where they
were joined by President Greatsinger.
Virginia is reached at present by two
roads, and the proposed completion of
the Hibbing Virginia road is considered
a move to meet competition. Among
those who have recently gone over the
territory are j. w. Gates, Vice President
