HE CERTAINLY WENT.
When the Footb.ll CAPTAIN Go, ~
Him the Contrary Pupil IIesi-
tated No Longer.

The football squad of n certain educa-
tional institution not far from Chicago
lined up for practice the other day.
These honored young collegians were
being taught to fall on the ball, says the
Chicago Evening News.
Discipline in football practice is, as
is doubtless generally suspected, OF an
exceedingly strict nature, and there
fore after several falls had been made
and the players were lined up for an
other, 1t was with considerable sur
prise that voice from the line was
heard announcing: II don't think I'll
go this time!"
1t is true that the young man making
this assertion, was IN only child, and
one who had been accustomed to hay-
ing his own way, but he certainly did
not understand the situation properly.
The captain looked at him quecrly for
q second or two.
Come on" he said, mildly.
NO, ldon't think I'll try IT this time, !"
the voice repeated, decfsively.
just what happened then the rest Of
the squad will not say. They only smile
when asked for further details, and in
order not to seem rude to the question
er, usually add: HE certainly went"
This is doubtless true, for it would
be far better to shake red rag at q
bull than to say to your superior officer
on football field: mo, l don't think
I'll go this time"

EXTRACTION IN NEURALGIA.
Removing the Teeth Anords No Re-
lief and IL Sin. says
This Authority.

The extraction of teeth for tri-
facial neuralgia is sin for which both
dentist and physician are responsible,
and in about the same degree-the
physician for sending the patient to
the dentist, and the dentist for extract
Ing the teeth in such conditions, says
the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Members of both professions should
have sufficient common sense, if not
professional education, to recognize the
fact that the extraction of sound teeth
not only gives no relief, but that 1t is
most useless mutilation, which the pa
tient is sure to regret deeply because Of
the injury to personal appearance and
the interference with digestion, and
for which their professional adviser IL
certain to be severely censured. This
mistake might be more common, but 1t
IL common enough, us is evidenced by
the statement of O prominent surgeon
that he has been consulted during the
past two years by no less than six pa
tients, who had had the teeth in both
jaws uselessly extracted for ticdoulour-
eux. The medical treatment Of this
condition is not encouraging in its re-
suits. It is true; nevertheless, 1t should
be given thorough trial. and II perse-
vered in will sometimes give permanent
results. In any case extraction OF teeth
can have no possible permanent value.

SPICE OF LIFE IN MAINE.
Variety of Queer Sayings and ODD
Doinss Recently Noted In the
Sunrise State.

One day lately the entire summer col
ony Of the island of Monhegan turned
out and helped the fishermen dress
and salt so barrels of mackerel.
1t has been hard year for the fisher
men, for. on account of lack of bait and
food fishes, the cod fishery has been a
complete failure, and the unexpected
taking of the SO barrels of mackerel
created great excitement along shore.
The fish were small and the weather
warm. SO that they had to be dressed
and packed at once or they would spoil.
So many men had gone away to the
mainland looking for employment that
there were not enough left to care for
the mackercl. The summer boarders
volunteered their services, and men and
women were soon standing about the
dorles and splitting tables, dressed in
their Oldest clothes and working with
might and main to help the fishermen.
Well-known men and women of New
York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Kansas City all piled the splitting
knife and the "gibber," and at sunset
the last mackerel had been sailed and
$500 saved for the fishermen.

The record of grain shipments
Of the year show that for the first
time in history more grain has
been sent eastward by rail than by
water. Last year the lake boats
carried 60 per cent Of the grain
and the year before SO per cent,
but this year, so far, SO per cent
of the total amuont of grain ship
ped eastward has gone by rail.
The principal reasons are that the
lake boats could make more by
carrying ore than by carryinggrain

heavy shipments which have been
made to Baltimore for exports.

AN ELEPHANT IN BATTLE.
Tho Faithful Animal Stood stauch,y
Beside His Dead Master for
Three Days.

An old elephant taken into battle on
the plains Of India was a standard
bearer and carried on his huge back the
royal ensign, the rallying point of the
Poona host. AT the beginning Of the
light he lost his master. The "mahoot,'
or driver. had just given tho word to
halt, when he received fatal wound
and fell to the ground, where he lay
under heap OF slain. The obedient ee-
plant stood still while the battle
closed around him, and the standard
he carried. He never stirred foot, re-
fusing to advance or retire, as the con-
Met became hotter and flercer, until
the Mahrattas, seeing the standard still
hying steadily In its place, refused to
believe that they We're being beaten
and rallied again and again around the
colors. And all this while, amid the din
OF battle, the patient animal stood
straining Its ears to catch the sound of
that voice 1t would never hear again.
At length the tide of conquest left the
field deserted. The Mahrattas swept
on in pursuit of the flying foe, but the
elephant, like rock, stood there, with
the dead and dying around, and the en-
sign waving in its place. For three days
and nights 1t remained where Its master
had given the command to halt. No
bribe or threat could move it. They
then sent to a village 100 miles away
and brought the mahoot's little son.
The noble hero seemed then to remem-
Der how the driver had sometimes given
his authority to the little child, and i'm
mediately. with all the shattered trap
pings cinging as he went, paced quiet
~ and slowly away.

A Princes die NINA,

The German emperor likes to study
the characters Of his group of small
sons, and to that end has given them 8,
room next to the one used for business
purposes for himself. A certain great
scientific man, having on one occasion
an interview with the emperor. left his
hat In the adjoining vesubule. There
the little brothers discovered 1t; and
the crown prince, explaining to the
younger ones that papa" sometimes
sat on his opera hat and 1t came out all
right again, proceeded to give prac-
teal Illustration of this statement, to
the ruin of the beaver. The emperor's
door suddenly opened, and papa" and
the professor appeared. Like manly
little fellow the crown prince owned
UP. apologized to the laughing profess
rsor and went off to buy for the old gen
tleman a new hat with his small pocket
money.

A movement ia said to be on foot

should read up history in order o learn
that accession movements do rot pay.

TENOR MADE A BIO HIT.
He coulea't U.aer.t..d Why an
Audieace Laughed At his
Love Song.

The tenor of local concert company
made the hit of his life recently. TWAS
at an entertainment in town within
100 miles of Chicago, and it IL safe to
say that the tenor's voice will never be
heard in that place again, says the In
ter Ocean.
He Is tall and angular, built rat her on
the fence-rail plan of architecture, and
is. withal, rather excessively dignified.
On this occasion he had been intrusted
with the duty of Opening the ball''
with comic solo. Although comedy il
not exactly the tenor's strongest hold,
he found this time before he had fairly
commenced that he had the largo audi
ence with him, and he sailed In and did
his best.
From start to finish he was greeted
with applanse-and at III. end Of The
verse .here was such Il storm Of lauRh-
ter, hand-clapping and even cheers
that the singer felt obliged to respond
TO the encore.
AZ soon as he could make himself
heard he essayed love song, but BE-
fore he had sung ten words the laughter
broke out afresh. In win he threw his
soul into the tender word.. Il was no
go, and the hilarity OF the audience in.
creased until at the close Of the first
verse he rushed bewildered and furious
from the stage, amid an uproar 81 eater
than before.
Behind the scenes he found the other
members OF the company speeches.
with laughter. and 1t was several min
utes before they were able to elucidate
tn. cause. The tenor. before leaving
his hotel. had pinned up the tails of his
Dress coat to keep them from showing
below the bottom of his short summer
overcoat. and upon arriving at the hall
he had forgotten to unpin them. The
spectacle of the coattails pointing sky
ward was too much for the ris.b;,ities
OF the audience. and the tenor could not
be induced TO sing again that night.

QUEER BIT OF EUROPE X,
a small Community whe'sie Tier.
Are No Rulers, soldiers
Nor Taxes

About 1--WE miles southwest Of Aix-la.
Chapelle, that well-known junction
where 80 many summer tourists Jump
in and out Of trains. there is tiny lit
tie village community called Altenberg,
or Vielle Montague, says the London
Daily Mail.
This little strip Of . few hundred
acres owes allegiance to no king, kaiser
or president. 1t is an autonomous re-
public, smaller than Andorra or the
principally of Monaco. It's population
is nearly 1900, and they are mostly
farmers, agriculturists and miners.
There are no police, no soldiers and
(haPpy landD there are no taxes to paw.
In 1slG-this little corner of Europc
IVES declared by the powers to be "neu-
tfal ground" and it has maintained it's
independence ever since. There is a
burgomaster and q council of elders of
tho village community. They admin
lister such law rs is found necessary, but
are not overworked in this respect, as
crime is practically unknown. The
country is picturesque, and for such n
se>A~eS >AO'AssAAAt NAllVu III us seem
cry. The land is split up into little in
dividual allotments in the manner 80
familiar to travellers on the continent.
The prosperity Of the inhabitants de-
ponds upon certain valuable calamine
mine, but small amount of farming Is
also successfully carried on.
Both French and German are spoken
and are often mixed up in most curl
GUS manner.
Altenberg's chief claim to notoriety,
however, lies in the fact that the Dor
