that the Columbia man keeps the

WORD FROM MARS.
When the Signal Was Made Out
It's Significance Was Inn
pertinent. i.


The greatest possible commotion pre-
vailed. The entire world was interested.
Scientists from every country tiocked to the
seat of the new observatory. The great
telescope, the marvel of the nineteenth CEN
tury, was the talk of two continents.
This world was on the eve of communicat-
ing with Mars. 1t had been scientifically
proved possible. Astronomers watching the
distant planet through lesser telescopes had
observed the attempts of the Martians to sig
nal us. They were using system OF great
planes and geometrical figures which formed
themselves into an understandable code.
Slowly was the big telescope focused on
the distant star. Distracted reporters
dashed around sending bulletins every five
minutes. Aged astronomers waited with
trembling anxiety for the great moment of
their lives. Hundreds of smaller telescopes
were carried along the range of the new OPP
tlcal instrument.
The .Martians are signalingi" telegraphed
an excited correspondent; ''in few min
utes more the signals will be read. AT last!
An eager eye is glued to the glass. The
great figures on the plains of Mars move
slowly The world is hushed waiting for the
message, the first to break the silence of
Aeons. The first letter is made out with
difficulty; the Others follow more rapidly.
The aged scientist spells out: HR-U-B-

ARREST FOR HAVING MON-Y.
The Police of Vienna Suspicious of
Persons Displaying Unusual
Wealth.

There is an old story, which goes
down from generation to generation,
among the merry Viennese, of how
gay young nobleman won a curious
wager. He declared that it was quite
possible to be taken up by the Vienna
police without committing any crime
whatever. To prove this, Count Sander
appeared one day, habbily dressed, at
an obscure inn, ordered some refresh
ments, and paid with the Austrian
equivalent for a 6 100 note, which he
pulled out of the shaft of his dilapidated
topboot. This was quite sufficient to
bring a guardian of law and order upon
the scene, who took the prisoner" to
the nearest police station in order that
he might justify the possession of 50
much wealth.
The Vienna of to-day is vastly differ
ent, in most respects, from the Vienna
of the time of gay Count Sander. This,
however, does not prevent similar ac-
cidents from happening. Thus, the
German papers are just now full of
righteous indignation because a Ger
man was taken up the other day by an
Austrian detective when he tried to
change "a 6 100 note at midnight in
Vienna cafe. 1t was only at the police
station that the detective could be con-
WINGED of the fact that even an honest
man might occasionally have a Zoo
note in his possession, and that it is
even possible he may wish to exchange
it at a restaurant.
But even this recent occurrence did
not suffice to quench the zeal of the
Viennese detective. Only few days
after the episode with the German
Croesus foreigner drove up to Wien
ma night cafe, sat down, and ordered
a bottle of champagne. Night cab,
champagne, foreign accent-these were
quite enough to cause such emotion
that the band ceased playing for mo-
ment. However, the stranger was
jovially inclined; treated everybody,
the musicians included, to champagne,
ices, etc., and went on merrily till
hand was laid upon his shoulder, and a
low voice said into his ear: Don't make
fuss, and come with me at once''
81 with you!" the stranger exclaimed.
SIS it to another cafe you wish to take
me?" "l
''Not exactly" was the reply. "You
come to the police station with me and
explain who you are and where the
money comes from which you are scat
tering about so freely"
The criminal" offering the man of
law and order a seat in his cab, did as
he was hidden, and once more the Wen
ma police had to eat humble pie, and beg
pardon of the stranger, who, so far
from being fraudulent, or worse, was
only Russian trying to get rid of some
of his great wealth in the gayest capt.
tai of Europe.
1t is to be hoped that the zeal of the
Austrian detective will, after this, be
blended with little more discretion
than has hitherto been the case.-St.
Pauls Budget.

Trusted TaIismans,

The superstition of talismans is one
that dies very hard, and crops up in
the most unexpected places. A writer
in the Gaulois gives some particulars of
the talismans worn by crowned heads
at the present day, which may be true,
and are certainly interesting. The
shah of Persia wears as protection
against assassination belt set with a
superb emerald and filed with peel
ings of onion. The latter being. as he
says, evidently intended to move the
tears of would-be assassins The semir
of Afghanistan wears with the same
intention a silver ring, while the king
of Greece has had the bullet which
lodged in the panel of his carriage the
last time he was fired at mounted as
a charm for his watch chain. Perhaps
the most curious of royal or quasi
royal talismans was the Abraxas gem.
showing the cock-headed diety of the
gnostic heretics, worn by Charles Ed
ward Stuart. Although it may have pre-
served him from assassination, it did
not prevent him from dying of drink
and dissipa tion.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Two Stories of Lawyers.

The logic of wit is the most destruct-
i've logic that is employed against error.
This was aptly illustrated at public
reception given few nights ago, at
which learned lawyer, who is slight
ly lame in his right foot, was present.
The advocate overheard lady say to
her companion: THAT is Mr.. c., the
lame lawyer"
Turning around, he replied: ''No,
madam, l am a lame man, but not a
lame lawyer"
An amusing incident occurred in one
of the common pleas courts the other
day. The lawyer for the defense was
making very lengthy cross-exanina-
ton of an old lady, when he was in
terrupted by the judge with the re-
mark: ST think you have exhausted
this witness"
"Yes, judge" she exclaimed, 81 dc
feel very much exhausted."-Philadal
phia Call.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
