Acknowledgement News.

The mysterious stranger at the Unfver-
sity Hospital has all Georgetown guessing
as to his identity. 1t Is seldom that a
person in such plight as the young
Hebrew is so successful in cloaking his
name and relatives from the persistently
inquiring.
Had the mans wound been a passing
one the officials would not have concerned
themselves particularly about his identity.
Another effort was made to get the man
to talk this morning. There is no doubt
now in the mind of the attending physi-
clan that he has the power of speech and
Is conscious The last days careful watch
ing has determined that. Three days ago
the man was probably unable-physically,
if not mentally-to disclose his name. DR..
Mccarthy is satisfied this point. No
friends have as yet called at the hospital.
The man is in every sense of the word
unknown. He Is about twenty-one
years of age.

A Hard Kick,

A family out in West Philadelphia
lately imported colored boy from their
former home in the wilds of western
North Carolina, and though the lad has
been in Philadelphia not yet quite two
weeks he has already learned something
which he will not soon forget. 1t was
told this way:
or all the manifold chores that fell to
his lot none guvc him half the delight of
the hose which he was wont to use as the
sun went down to water the bit of green
in front Of tho house and to sprinkle the
street. This was modern invention
which had not penetrated to his noun
tain home. and its wonderful possibilities
as weapon against the teasings of the
boys in the neighborhood impressed him
greatly. The other evening he was en-
gagged in his favorite occupation of sprin-
king the yard, when some urchin began,
from the other side of the street, to bonn
bard him with vollcy Of sticks and
stones. Here was mn opportunity not to
be lost.
Elcvating the nozzle he directed the
stream point blank at the offenders, but
unfortunately, before it reached the other
Side Of the street it came in contact with
a trolley wire, and in an instant the cbon
importation was executing Il series of
back somcrsauts that finally landed him
up against the house.
As he recovered from the effects of the
electric shock he was heard to murmur,
"Speck dat must cr most br, lie dat
mules leg, he kicked so hard. "-Phildel-
phia Inquirer.

Got n kissing Bugs Sinner.

A gentleman was sitting in his room
on Columbus avenue the other evening
reading a paper lie was reading about
the kissing bugs" when his attention
was suddenly diverted by the buzzing Of
an insect. He looked up and saw large
fly alight on his bureau. 1t did not re.
semble horsetly, though 1t was some
three times as large as the ordinary house
n.y. 1t was rather narrow and more deli.
cately constructed than house fly, look
Ing like a giant black fly.
Naturally the gentleman Immediately
wondered il this could be the "kissing

and he at once started to make invest.
cations. He began by holding his hand
out toward the insect, but he got no
farther, for 1t straigbtway flew at him
striking him between the second and
third fingers and badly singing his hand.
He hit Mt it gently as the fly struck, but
as the sting was so sharp he hit harder,
killing the "bug.' Although the sting had
struck the mans hand only for the single
instant. it was firmly imbeddcd and the
wound was very painful. The hand swell
ed rapidly. The sting was tracted and
the wound cleaned and ba' ], but when
the sting was subsequent examined it
was found to be as hnrd a. flint. 1t was
