How He Wanted to Pay


Some years ago an ARRAY among
miners in the west resulted in murder,
and Senator Thurston, believing the ae-
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 ~
Yes"
BE you the man that defended Jack
Bailey at court ~
The senator, thinking his last hour
was come, again answered, Yes. s=
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 I'll pop
him. s-Y outh's Companion.

Arsenic is very often present in the
pigment used for wall papers, and as
every one knows, if one covers ones
walls with q paper containing deadly
poison ones health must suffer ut 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 1T, and il 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

employed in the factories, one Of which
was visited by a traveller who gives
some interesting particulars about his
visit II
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 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 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-
volyed 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 good ear for mu-

THE DOORBELL.
II Tells What Manner OF Man You

II 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 a doorbell 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
signs the doorbell is as good as a title
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 1t 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 its full length
and then allows It to relax with a
faint, apologetic tinkle, and the Jolly
friend, who knows he is welcome, and
therefore grasps the knob with a hear
ty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature, and sets the bell to shak-
ing its 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 (Ndd.) Herald. $

The Iowa Coming.

The battleship Iowa will be at the
dock on Port Orchard about the Goth
of May. She will remain here a
month or SIX weeks, after which she
will proceed to Manila.
The Iowa has the distinction of be-
ing the first modern first-class sea-going
battleship built for the United States
navy, and she is also the largest and
fastest of our fleet of ships of the line.
The Iowa is 800 feet long, 70 feet
beam, and she has displacement
loaded Of 11,4l0 tons. Three thou
sand tons of the weight is devoted to
armor, which ranges in thickness from
p inches to Is inches.
On the Iowa the general disposition
of the guns and turrets is similar to
the Indiana type. She has four r.
inch, eight S-inch and six 4-inch rap
id-fre guns in her main battery, and
in the secondary rapld-fre battery
twenty 6-pounders, four 1-pounders,
four Colts, and two field guns
The big battleship will be a sight
worth beholcing and she will attract
hundreds of yisitors.-Sidney Inde-

w ashington Troops Again Win Glory.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The Wash
ington volunteers fought side by side
with the regulars and crowned them
selves with glory. The Washington
regiment, which was holding Taguig,
with three companies of the Twelfth
regulars, engaged large force of in
surgents in fight in .he jungle. The
Americans lost two killed and four
teen wounded. The Filipinos have
been massing at the mouth of the
Pasig river and it is estimated have
two thousand there. They have two
guns, one a three-inch Krupp, and
have thrown a number of shells into
the American lines. Yesterday large
force of rebels approached the town,
seeming bent on Turing the Americans
from Calumpit. Three companies of
the Washington troops rallied from
the town and attacked the natives,
but found that they had their hands
full. Two other companies of the
Washington regiment and three COM
panies of regulars reinforced them and
drove back the enemy.
Among the list of wounded in this
engagement appears the name of
Arthur A. Ellis, of Company H, re-
ported slightly wounded in loin. This
soldier is evidently Arthur Eells, the
son of Rev. Myron Eells, of Union
City, who is a private in that COM
pany.
