KITCHENER LEARNED THEIR SECRET
h'" lie outwitted The Dervish Spies, Who
Were Dumb as Oysters.

From the London Academy.
The following story of the Sirdar. which
comes TO me bearing the authority of a
relative of Lord Kitchener, illustrates.
more than any, perhaps, his readiness of
resource, his determination, and his pains
taking, far-seeing preparedness for events.
One evening, as our forces neared Khar-
toum, DeTvIsh spy was discovered in
camp, and promptly taken 10 headquar-
tiers for examination. II was a juncture
at which information as to the enemy's
position and plans was of the highest i'm
portance; but neither the richest brides
nor the direst threats could elicit one
word from the prisoner; he affected TO be
beth deaf and dumb. Scarcely was his
hearing oYer-iI hearing il can be called
when another spy was led in, who proved
equally obdurate. 1t was maddening; and
in the good cid times" torture and short
shrift would have been the fate Of these
brave gentlemen. As IL was, they were
led GWay Bound. and placed Tor the night
in a well-guaTded tent. About haif an
hour later, WHEN all was settling down 10
rest in camp. there was q fresh STIR and
hUbbUb. and a third spy was dragged in.
who, also, would reveal Eothing, and was
finally placed In the tent with his fellows.
Soon the guards outside heard murmur
of voices from within; the dumb spies had
found their tongues, but II was lmpossi-
bic 10 oyerhear their talk distinctly or to
understand u An hour or more passed.
Then the door of the tent was thrown
open. af.s Che third spy appeared and ask
ed 10 be conducted 10 headquarters. Ii
was the Sirdar, who in disguise had dis
covered all he needed TO know! II seems
that Lord Kitchener always takes the
greatest pains TO make himself master OF
the vernacular of any country 10 which
he is sent He seiZes every opportunity
OF talking with the poorer folks, until he
literally speaks like native.

A BYGONe BADGE OF THRIFT.
When Did the Habit Of Mailing Insurance
Signs on Houses stop?

From the Kansas City Star.
One by one the Old-fashiOned things are
falling away until the middI a-agnd nan of
to-day can find very little left TO remind
him Of his bOyhoOd days Il used 10 De-

one day last week a man was walking
from his nome to his place OF business.
He looked at the houses as he passed with
idle curiosity. He stepped suddenly Ia
his walk. arrested by a small metal sign
on a house porch. The house was built
Of ancient bricks: it was clearly Old-iash-
toned; so old-fashiOned that the ut'le III
surance sign, from which the gilt had
long ago been washed by the wesihrf,
had not been taken down. Its discovery
recalled the fact to the. man that the by
gone fashion Of insurance signs on houses
had stopped without his having noticed IT,,
and he wondered how long ago u fda
been, and II il had been gradual or sud
