Natter Of German Co.rtesy.

There was young man on Isiv-
erpool tram some days since who
had good reason to be a very angry
man indeed. The tram was crowd
ed, when corpulent German, ac-
companied by an equally corpulent
wife, elbowed his way inside.
The woman was not pretty OF at
tractive, and most of the male pas
sengers did not even resort to any
of the familiar tricks of the expe-
rlenced passenger when he convent
emily wants to overlook the fact that
a lady is holding onto the toprail
while he enjoys a comfortable seat.
But well dressed young man
arose and, touching the woman's
arm to attract her attention, polite
ly said:
"Here is seat for you, madam"
The woman started toward the va
cant seat, when her obese male COM
panion, with a sigh of satisfaction,
settled down into it before her.
The young man was surprised, but
his establishment soon gave way to
anger. At first he was inclined to
believe that the putting old Teuton
had made a mistake, but he soon be-
came convinced that the action was
Intentional
Tapping the old man on the
shoulder, he said, quietly:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but I
gave up my seat to this lady, and
not to you.''
"Oh, yaw, dat is all right, mine
friendt," blurted out the old fellow;
she vos mine wife,
The young man grasped the top
rail for support, and for a moment
was too full for utterance. A riot
was imminent, but at the next cross
ing several passengers alighted and
bloodshed was averted.

Boomers Out Of Date There.

''The boomer you heard so much
about when Oklahoma was opened
to settlers has either left for fresher
fields or has settled down into Sc
daIe farmer citizen," remarked a
prominent Guthrie man the other
day. cit is true, lot of bad men
participated in the great rush for
claims, but the rough necessities Of
life in new country seem to have
made good citizens of them. The
population of Oklahoma now will
compare favorably with that of any
far Western State, and while lawless
characters are plentiful enough, we
are able to take care of them. We
feel that we are quite ripe for State
hood, and no State will furnish bet
ter or more loyal eitizens of the I'm
ion.''

Fruit Said to Cure Govt.

While the vegetarian regards meat
as a poison, the fruitarian looks
with no enthusiastic eye upon the
Lenten fare OF the vegetarian. To
him unlocked fruit is the only
natural food, and, though but a
small body, men do exist in this cold
country who eat nothing but fruit.
For a long time they have found
their chief opponents in medical
men, who affirm that for equity pa
tients fruit is dangerous, some even
asserting that fruit may actually
engender govt.
Now, however, a little ray of sun
shine penetrates the gloom where
they sit in glorious. isolation crack
ing nuts and chewing raisins with
all the sylvan simplicity of monkeys.
A medical man has arisen to declare
that he has frequently cured govt
with grapes and oranges. Further
than this, he declares that his stand
ing advice to equity friends is. Eat
plenty of fresh, ripe, uncooked
fruit" Blu. while the ''tendency'
of fruit is to get rid Of govt alto
gether, it seems that severe equity
headaches and bilious attacks may
be caused by eating it, particularly
by patients who have long ago shut
the tempting apple and pear from
their regimen. Therefore. though
the fruitarian wax bolder for this
medical testimony, the equity would
be wise to take their fruit sparingly
at first, and not by any means make
it their one and only form of sua-
tenance. 1t is, at any rate, inter-
esting to find that medical men are
beginning to look with kindlier eyes
on fruit, but at present it would
probably be difficult to encounter
two doctors agreeing over one suf-
fering equity person that his saliva
ton lay in d fruit diet.

"A reference to lightning brought
out the fact that tie weather bureau
is using it's ponderous organiza ton
for the collection of lightning sta
tistics. The officials are less con-
cerned with the Identification of the
thunderbolt than they are with its
disastrous effects. According to
lightning statistics, 312 inhabitants
of the United States. on an average,
are struck by lightning during each
year. Twenty-Five hundred were
struck during the last nine years.
Farmers suffered most. probably be-
cause of their exposed occupation,
for the danger from lightning is
found to be four times as great in
the country as in cities. January
naturally is the least dangerous
month, and July is the most danger
ous-123 persons were killed dur
ing July, 1897, 1858 buildings, val
ued at $17 ,672,772, were destroyed
by lightning; 1891 of these were
barns. Comparatively few churches
were struck. In 1898 buildings val
ued at 81 AL $50 were destroyed.
New York State headed the list with
395. There were no disastrous
strokes in Idaho, Arizona, CaEfor-
MIA, Oregon, Nevada or Utah. In
the same year ,S42 animals, valued
at $4,000, were killed by 40
strokes of lightning. This mortal
ity was unequally divided among
cattle, horses, mules, pigs and sheep,
whole hocks of the latter being killed
by single bolts. There is no means
of finding out the exact number of
trees struck, bat it is interesting to
know that the list of liability is
headed by the oaks. FRS, beeches,
pines, larches, ash and birch trees
are mort liable to be struck in the
order named, on account of their
conducting qualities. The record
show an increase in the number Of |

Of this has not yet been discovered.

Bob Pryor is a nice, ob1igina
young man, but hereafter he posi-
lively refuses to brush bugs off any
body, even himself. The cause of it
all was little, surprise party given
to Robert by n certain bug, name
and parentage unknown. Pryor had
dined at a Vine street cafe and stood
nonchalantly before it's door, chew
ing toothpick and gazing benevo-
lently on the maddening crowd as it
surged by. The milk Of human
kindness was in Bob up to the ears
just then and he could even have
complimented his brother-in-law.
Bob noticed that the electric light
near him drew lots of bugs that were
bent on going to bug heaven by that
incarceration route. A well-dressed
young fellow came along and stood
under the insect crematory, with
the result that one of them came
hustling down and selected his col
lar for resting place. Mr.. Pryor
noticed the insect, and, feeling very
good, he generously volunteer to re-
move it,
q beg your PARDON said he to
the young man. ''There's bug on
your collar. Wait till I get him.
Robert reached for the bug, and
the next instant let out a howl that
rolled down Vine street, crossed the
river and fia,tened itself against the
Kentucky hills. At the same time
he did a Dervish dance out to tho
middle of the street, where he hit a
car and bounced back, frantically
slapping one hand against the other.
The bug that Robert 80 gracefully
removed was an innocent, harmless
little hornet that had got lost ON
Vine street, and had chung to has
rescuer with all the clinginess of
which he was capable. Hence the
henceness of why Mr.. Pryor removes
no bugs from anyone.-Cineinna6

Street Committee Reports.

The committee on streets and alleys
presented several reports. 1t recon-
mended that the petition for the taking
up of the Omaha track from Spring to
Lime streets be referred to the city at.
torney and board of public works, and
this was done, The committee was un.
able to find that the city has authority
to order the track taken up.
The committee reported favorably
upon the petition for the widening of
West Fourth street, and the board of
public works was instructed to do the
work.
The committee recommended that a
cross walk be constructed across Byron
street on the north side of Lewis street,
and the board of public works was in.
structed to do the work. The board was
also authorized to lay cross walk
across Main street on the west side of
Fourth street
The committee reported adversely
upon the petition to have the alley in
the block between Warren and Cherry
and Fourth and Fifth streets opened.
The report was adopted.
The committee recommended that
the petition for the grading of First
avenue from Lime to Spruce streets be
not granted, and this was adopted.
The committee reported the agree
ment with the Mankato & New Ulm
road in regard to the false work at the
Mound avenue crossing. The COM
mittee has given power to act when the
agreement comes back.
| Aid. Jordan stated that Madison
avenue is being blocked by the stone
saw mill. and he thought that this
ought to be moved.
Aid. Meyer moved that the city at
torney be instructed to give the legal
notice to the owner of the mill to move
it, and this was carried.
