UNDOING OF A BUNKO.

The boom in the bunko market
caused by the easy separation of ex-
Aid. French of Brooklyn from $4,000 of
his good money by two expert youths
on Monday was severely offset yester-
day by an occurrence in the Broad
way Central hotel in which pair of
the brotherhood of bunko-steerers fig
ured respectively second and third to
John KAISER of Arizona. The pair in
vested a little cash and considerable
time and trouble in Mr.. KAISER, and
though he didn't pan out. they still
have cause for thankfulness that they
are alive, though battered.
Mr.. KAISER is superintendent OF the
Live Oak Copper Mining and Smelling
company, with mines at Globe, Ari5.,
and he is here with his wife on busi-
ness. They are at the Broadway Cen
trail. Mr.. KAISER is of foreign extrac-
ton. He is possessed of slight ac-
cent a blandly quiet manner, con-
fiding smile, and general aspect Of
material but nonmetropolitan prosper
fly.
When he comes to New York he
doesn't follow the example of some OF
his western friends and cast himself
madly into the embraces of ready
made frock coat, silk hat, and new
pair of tan shoes with white laces; he
wears the same clothes that he wears
at home and goes about his business,
and if people infer therefrom that he
is from the west, he makes no moan
over that. Globe he considers to be a
pretty good sort of place to come from,
and he isn't ashamed of it.
For some time past there has been
hanging about the corridor of the
Broadway Central a gentleman pos
sessed of a certain appearance of Slick
ness which has not commended him
to the favorable notice of the clerks
So far as they were able to discover,
his sole occupation seemed to be to
chew toothpicks, derived from the ho-
tells cigar stand, and watch the peo-
pie in the lobby from the depths of
an easy chair. He was middle-aged,
plump and well-dressed. The hotel
would have been glad to get rid 1f him
had opportunity offered. However, he
only came occasionally, and his be-
havior was not such as would warrant
his election.
On Tuesday morning this person ac-
costed Mr.. KAISER, who was standing
looking disconsolately out into the
rain.
Bad weather we're having" said
the man. Have much rain in your
part Of the country"
"Yes, get used to pretty much all
kinds of weather." replied Mr.. KAISER.

From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.-
Little Dorothy isn't quite two and a
half years old yet but she has develop
ed some very mischievous tricks. II
she isn't hungry she plays with her
food. Sometimes she surreptitiously
filings portions of it at. her brother
Occasionally she bathes her busy fin
gers in her bread and milk bowl. or
course these naughty tricks displease
her mother and Miss Dorothy gets Il
severe talking to quite often The other
day she tried to convert her bowl into
a head decoration and her mamma fav-
ored her with a very warm opinion on
such breeches of table decorum. Dor
othy sat perfectly still during the
scolding, staring at the wall above her
mothers head. When the reprimand
was ended Dorothy let her eyes drop
to the level of her mothers face and
mildly remarked: Il can't hear a
word you say, mamma" And that end
ed the incident.

Comparative Distances.

The distance in the South African
scenes OF operations can be better
estimated if they are compared with
those between New York City and
outlying places. Taking the route of
the British from Durham, their land
ing place, to go to Pietermaritzburg,
seventy miles, would be approximately
the same as to go to Poughkeepsie
from New York. From Durham to
Ladysmith, 1S9 miles, is about the
distance from New York to Baltimore;
from Durham to Laing's Mex, the Boer
frontier on the Natal side, is sol
miles, or New York to Concord, N.
H.; Durham to johannesburg or Pre-
toria is about 500 miles, or New York
to Wheeling, w. Va.
On the western side the distance
from Cape Town to Kimberley is CAT
miles, New York to Springfield, o..
from Cape Town to Vryburg Is TIA

from Cape Town to Mafeking is $40

Prophetic of Lawton's Death.

The following letter seems almost
prophetic in view of the news of the
death of General Lawton the day after
the letter was received in Washing
ton. The writer is lieutenant Cald-
well, of Kentucky, who has been in the
Philippines for some months. He was
friend of the Lawton family. He
says: 81 have seen good deal of
the Lawtons recently, especially dur
ing protracted illness, when they
were especially kind to me. The next
news which will shock old friends in
The United states will be General
Lawton's death. He has had thou
sands of narrow escapes, but one of
these days bullet will find its mark
in the breast of the bravest and most
popular officer here. Such indifier-
ence to danger I have never seen.
His wife fully understands the risks
he runs, and I feel deeply for her
when he is on the firing line. Wash

A Guessing Game.

Each guest is given a numbered en-
velope containing certain number OF
slips on which is letter of the alpha
bet. These letters spell two or three
words, and the guest is to guess the
correct word, according to list which
is reserved by the hostess. The words
on the list are numbered to CORE
spond with the numbers ON the enve-
lopes. For example, one envelope
contains the letters @ A (which spell
both cat and act, and another contains
the letters P e A r, which also spells
pare and reap, and so on; the ques-
tion is, Which is the correct word,
according to the hostess's list?
3 After envelopes are handed in bear
ing the names of the guests and the
answers, the latter are read and the
correct words also given. Those hav-
ing answered correctly receive prizes.
One can also place in envelopes let
ters spelling the name of some noted
book or play. 1t is better to choose
rather short words, for, if too long,
it requires too much time and thougI.4
to place letters correctly. Other avail
able words are rat, stud, heart, net
and tea.

stranger, glancing at the others UNI

Mr.. KAISER turned upon him beam
ing look, but made no answer.

way?" continued the other persua-
sively.

erner, with a gentle smile, rs not

"Oh, well, you needn't be offended
just because I'm a stranger" persisted
the other, looking somewhat hurt.
What have you got against strangers,
any way?"
Nothing in particular" answered
the visitor, but come from the west,
you know, and I've heard that New
York was full of bunko men and
swindlers."

KAISER on the back. You took me for
a bunko man! Why, live right here
in the hotel. They all know me. Ha-
ha-ha! That's pretty good!"
Pretty good" assented Mr.. KAISER,
smiling at the other as if he were his
bosom friend.

"Ah!" said the stranger, as Mr.. Kas-
ser approached. Just down? I'm just
through breakfast myself. Nice day
To this proposition the westerner
agreed. Then his friend invited him
into the cafe to show there was no ill
feeling, and after some conversation
saying:
After what you said about the
bunko business you can't do less than
have drink with me. Ha, ha, ha!
That was good one!"
Yes, wasn't it?" responded Mr.
KAISER. But l don't drink"
We'll, come sit down and have a
cigar" said the other, and led the
way to a table where sat young man
with protruding under jaw, striped
shirt, a glass diamond, long drink
and certain other evidences that he
wasn't minister of the gospel. The
friendly stranger gave no open intima.

Following the lead of Superintend-
ent Andrews, the Congregation of the
University OF Chicago has adopted the
following resolutions "Resolved, That
the adoption by the Board of the Uni
yersity Press for use in the official
publications and journals of the uni
versity Of the list of words with
changed spelling accepted by the Ma
tional Educational Association be ar-
proved" The list of words thus ''re-
formed" is as follows:
Program programmed tho Ghough).
altho (although), thorofare (thorough-
fare), thru Ghrough), thruout (through-
out), catalog (catalogue), prolog (pro-
logue), decalog (decalogue), demagog
(demagogue), pedagog (pedagogue).
The vote by which the university
was thus aligned with the so-called
word "reformers" was close, but the
new spelling carried the day. 1t is
said an effort will be made to induce
the leading universities to join hands
with Chicago and form a league or
perhaps we should say leeg

A Genial Star-Gazer.

Maria Mitchell, who has been called
the "Mother of the Stars" when pro-
fessor of astronomy and director of
the observatory at Vassar was an in
spring teacher, and, in spite of her
brusqus manner AID severity, was
adored by Eer pupils. Every spring,
just before the commencement, she
gave "dome party" to the girls.
Small tables were placed around the
large telescope in the observatory,
and roses from Miss Mitchell's own
garden frightened the atmosphere.
Nonsense poems were feature of
these breakfasts, and the astronomer
was proud of her skill in writing
them. She was not without keen
sense of fun, in spite of her constant
and absorbing studies, as was shown
by her dryly consoling observation to
an awe-stricken student whom she
was leaving one day in charge of the
instruments of the observatory. Look
ing back at the worried face of the
girl, Miss Mitchell said: "And re-
member, if the chronometer stops and
the sidereal clock stops, the universe
went STOP"

Geronimo a Prisoner of War.

The Chicago Tribune says: "Ger-
onimo, the Apache chief, in capturing
whom the late General Lawton won
fame as an Indian fighter, still lives at
Fort Sill, I. T. Ever since he laid down
his tomahawk. thirteen years ago, in
obedience to the fearless Lawton the
old chief has been a prisoner of war.
Immediately after their capture Ger
onimo and his band of warriors were
taken East, but the climate did not
agree with them, and many died. Then
they were removed to Alabama, finally
returning to the land of the setting
sun in 1894. At Fort Sill Geronimo
and his once savage braves have set
tied down, and, under the watchful
eyes of the United States authorities,
have become at least partially civil
ized,"

Children and Their Studies.

The examining system and its
accompanying evils are characterized
as IA National Crime at the Feet of
American Parents" by Edward Box,
in the Ladies' Home journal. "No
child under fifteen years of age," he
contends, "should be given any home
study whatever by his teachers. He
should have not more than from one
