The thickness of his brogue secured
for a recent arrival from the Emerald
Isle ride of several hundred miles at
the expense of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. His destination was Boston,
and at the Broad street station he
asked. for a ticket to the Hub. The
ticket seller was unable to determine
whether it was Boston or Washington
the man wanted to reach, but finally
sold him a ticket for the latter city, and
q few hours later he found himself in
the national capital. AS he was unable
to read, the mistake was not discovered
until he reached Washington, and tC
complicate matters he had not suff
eient funds to purchase a ticket te
Boston.
He presented his case to the railroad
officials at Washington. and they. put
ting him to a test, were unable to dis
tinguish from his pronunciation o.
Washington and Boston any materia

at the Broad street station. in this city
for his error The facts of the cas-
being laid before the general passen
ger department, the man with th'
brogue was forwarded to his prope
destination.-Phila Record.

Italians Wave Arms Wildly When
Converting With One Another.
The farther south one goes in Europe
the more do the people gesticulate in
conversation, asserts a traveller who is
at present doing Italy.
a NeapoIitan, he says. goes through
an entire course of calisthenics before
he has talked five minutes. Give a
Neapolitan Il pair of dumb bells and
ask him what he thinks of the weather
and before he finishes his answer he
will have taken enough healthful eXer-
else to last him all day.
This traveller spent many an interest
ing hour in watching the Neapolitan
talk. One day in n cafe he sat next to
a couple of Italians, who were engaged
in almost spirited conversation. The
younger of the two men grow very
excited. With his hands he made
reaching and clinging motions, as if
climbing. Then he reached right and
left above his head, as one would do in
picking cherries. Then, without slack
ening his remarkable flow of conversa-
ton, he put the thumb and first finger
of his left hand together and held them
a few inches before his eyes and went
through the careful movements of one
threading a small needle. And all the
time he talked. Next he made overland
motions as of throwing. Then he gave
an imitation of some one swimming
After that he described several rapid
circles with his left hand. which gave
the impression of revolving wheel
Then he leaned forward and, with his
right hand lifted. acted as a person
would act in trying TO put n key into
a keyhOle. The writer asked his friend
who understood Italian, what all the
fuss was about.
They're talking chiefly about the
weather" was the reply.-London

THE BALD EAGLE AT HOME
He Chooses a High Tree For His Of
fensive Nest.

An old friend met us. He first showed
as black spot far up on the shore,
then drifted grandly down upon set
pinions, tacilinS il and out like a
yacht working TO windward. 1t hap
pened he was slanting shoreward when
he passed. and at 10 yards his snowy
head and tail, broad. brown fans
showed TO fine advantage. We could
see the polished yellow of his hooked
bill and the fierce fash of his marvel
Gus golden telescope eye as he turned
it upon US and then back to his tireless
searching of the water and the wave
line along shore.
For years this eagle, hoary old beach
comber as he is. has patrolled the shore
daily for miles, seeking what the
waters have cast up, for be it known
he is not above accepting even carrion.
Many a dead fish and lost bird he gets
for the trouble of picking them up, but
he can hunt, too, when he feels so dis
posed. Season after season he and his
mate have patched the old nest and
reared their eagles in peace.
No one can climb the tree, and no
decent man would shoot at the birds.
Should you visit the foot of the tree
your nose will be assailed by Il most
Objectionable odor, and your naturally
brief inspection will convince you that
the eagles do hunt more than they are
given credit for. Everywhere are frag-
ments of fish. while among them are
wings and tails which 4ust have be
longed TO grouse, portions of hares and
other fragments suspiciously like Ger
tain parts of lambs, sucking pigs and
domestic fowls. But they We're not oul
lambs. pigs or fowls, and so no shot
whistles after the old pirate, who
seems to understand that he is free tc

At six o'clock, with a bunch of new

Mr.. West threw off his coat tight

Suddenly Mrs. West gave a scream

A passing electric car threw a vivid
flash upon the house just as a pair Of
stout legs were withdrawn from the
upper window.
''Police! Police!" she cried, and Mr.
Mason tore down the street.

Here she was expected to meet the

them for a two days visit. John had
gone on a couple of days tramp with
