COULD NOT KEEP THEM OUT.

During the time when the alien ex-
pulsion law was in force in the Trans
vaal three Cinnamon arrived at the
little border town of Volksrust The
Transvaal authorities had not had
much experience of Cinnamon up to
this, but they were not taken with the
appearance of the new corners and
promptly put them back over the Ma
tai border. For the next three weeks
the police at different points of the
line were engaged in returning the
Cinnamon to the colony. They were
dragged out of freight cars, securely
slowed away under the tarpaulin COW
ers; were rooted out of transport wag-
ons journeying along the main road
were picked out of gangs of Kaffirs,
with their faces darkened so as to re-
semble their companions, travelling in
cattle trunks. The Cinnamon retain
ed all their normal cheerfulness. AT
ter Il time me Cinnamon were seen no
more in those parts and they passed
out Of the minds of the officials. But
later on three strange Cinnamon were
unearthed in Jeppertown doing a lour.
ishing business among the KaflTs, but
the alien law was just then being
quashed and they were allowed to
abide where they were. The incident
supplies a curious illustration of the
yellow mans persistence.

GREELEY'S WAYS WITH VICTUALS

One of the most remarkable traits
which characterized Horace Greeley
was his complete absorption in the
duties of the moment When hard at
work, he would forget all about his
meals, and gradually he fell into the
habit of depending on one of his as
sistants to keep on the lookout for him
in this respect. The editor would call
out, Jones, have | had my dinner
YETI" and Jones would give him the
correct answer.
Once, while at the house of leading
politician, Greeley had been having
heated discussion, when his hosts wife
invited him to partake of some re-
freshment. Without needing what he
was doing, Horace seized plate of
crullers, and emptying it's contents on
his lap, continued the discussion,
munching a cruller now and then until
he had finished the lot.
His kind-hearted hostess, fearing
that in the absorption of the moment
Mr.. Greeley had eaten so many crullers
as to make himself i'll, and having been
told that cheese in moderation is
capital digester, handed him a small
plate of cheese, hoping that he would
take bite or two, and thus indirectly
I'd unconsciously counterfeit the effect
OF the crullers. But Greeley, in his
excitement, treated the cheese as he
had treated the crullers. Finally all
the cheese disappeared, to the astonish-
ment and alarm of the sympathetic
hostess.
A few moments later, the discussion
having ended, she was astonished to
hear Mr.. Greeley, evidently uncon-
scious of all he had devoured, deliver
an eloquent harang on the virtues of
graham or brown bread, and denounce
with vigor the pernicious fondness OF
Americans for cheese! Youths Com
panion.

PATHETIC SCENE AT FIRE RUN.

Look, there! Doesn't that remind
you of ghosts, and doesn't it give you
lump in your throat?" said one busl-
ness man to another, as he stopped
and looked around in front of the
University club, on Dearborn street.
The two men glanced across at the
Speed & Henning building, where
four women lost their lives on account
OF the fire a few days ago. A half
dozen pigeons were circling around the
windows and the roof. They flew from
ono housetop to another on that side
of the street, lighted on the blackened
window stills of the Inflated building.
and chirruped occasionally as if asking
questions of the people passing by.
Those birds lost their little ones in
that fire." nodded one of the men.
They had nests under the caves and
around the roof. The flames either
licked up their nests and shriveled the
baby pigeons, or else the drenching the
fire department gave the top of the
building broke up their homes. At
any rate, the nestlings are gone, and
the mother birds have lowered about
there ever since. At first they chat
tered about it among themselves in
great excitement. Now, notice that
they have settled down to a sort of
plaintive despair, and their visits are
less and less frequent"

HETTY GREENS coNTRI8u. LON

STORY COOKED HIS GOOSE.

George Horton, poet, novelist and ex-
United States consul 70 Athens, knows
a compliment when he receives it and
responds to it with an appreciation
which has in it touch of poetic JUS
tice. Shortly after he returned from
Athens and became literary editor of
the Chicago Times-Herald he began
the publication in serial form, of The
Fair Brigand,'' a stirring story OF mod
ern Grecian life. The author has a
strong prediction for roast goose, and
one Saturday provided an extra fine
fowl of this kind for his Sunday dinner.
His appetite was well attuned to do
justice to this favorite u. 1, and short
ly before the fowl was to be served he
was Mortified to catch the oder of burn
ing meat Instantly there was a rush
to the kitchen, where the cook was
found in tears anu the goose burned al
most to cinders. When the peniteut
domestic regained sufficient control OF
herself to speak she confessed that she
had become so engrossed in a story
that she had entirely forgotten the
roasting fowl In proof of the extenu-
ating circumstances she drew from I'M
der her apron paper containing Mr..
Horizons serial. A few quick questions
established the fact that she had not
noticed the name of the author. Be-
fore this discovery the dismissal of the
cook had been a sealed verdict. but, in
justice to the force and delicacy Of the
compliment thus paid Mr.. Horizons
powers as narrator, the verdict was
set aside, and the cook escaped with a
warning that her literary tastes must
thereafter be held in subsection until the
family dinner was safe on the table.

BoER PRISONERS IN CEYLoN.

The 1000 boer prisoners destined for
which is the terminus of the Colombo
and Randy line, and $500 feet above
sea level. The place is among the
mountains and in a supremely healthy
locality, with trees of rhododendrons
growing upon the hillsides, and amid
the grassy sward known as "patenas."
The rhododendrons are not bush-like
as in this country, but real trees with
most lovely red flowers. They have
somewhat long stems, and then a
crown of leaves and flowers. There
are no tea gardens so high up as Ban
darawela, but cardamons are grown q
little lower down. There is an excel
lent hotel near the railway terminus,
owned by a company, and very well
managed. Officers quartered there will
be in clover, and in touch with all the
world, thanks to the Observer and the
Times of Ceylon, the railway and the
postoffice. The railway is almost
unique as feat Of engineering skill,
and only comparable with that running
through the st. Gothard pass. The
''soda-water-bottle curve is one of the
sights of the island, and triumph of
the art Of the railway engineer.
Adams peak, 1000 feet high, is in full
view from the line, and few iron roads
in the world pass through more inter-
esting native villages and towns,
through more exquisitely luxuriant
vegetation, fields of paddy" rivers,
lakelets, ETC., than the one starting in
Colombo and terminating at Bandara-
wela.-St. James Gazette.
