The Future

The news item Of the future will
probably read something like this: "As
Farmer Smith was delivering a bale OF
hay at the treasury building. and while
waiting TO have the government stamp
affixed, his horses took fright at the
limited express on the Washington and
San Francisco airship line. They dash
ed down the avenue, and, turning the
corner at the up town station Of the
Chicago Pneumatic Tube Rapid Tran
sit company, brought up with a dull
thud against the celluoid window OF
the Potomac Artificial Egg company.
In the crash and general confusion
Farmer Smiths head and two Of his
limbs were severed from the body, but
he was promptly removed to the Edi-
son hospital, and after the electrical
bone welding operation was perform
ed he was able to drive home and
keep his appointment with the man

Cats are not given credit Cor hu1e

boss stevedore the other day. TT you
don't believe me. come down along
the river front and watch the wharf
cats. They are as wild as can be, but
you can't fool them Neither could
you drive them away from the whaxfs,
They live down among the pilings and
subsist on rats or whatever REFUSE
they can find. They are mostly seafar-
ing cats that have lived on shipboard
and that have been left behind when
their vessels have sailed.
They go ashore 10 stretch their Regs,
so to speak, and their ship goes OF
without them. From that moment
you can't drive them away from the
pier on which they We're left. They
always seem to be looking for their
ship to come back. and sometimes Il
does, and then the cat is almost fran
tic with delight. OF course they might
jump aboard any vessel and would
probably be welcomed, but they rarely
do that. They want to get back to

Good Temper OF Americans.

/ have never seen an American lose
his temper. not even under the most
trying and provoking circumstances.
If in a railway station you were to lose
your temper with the baggage man,
for instance. you would get the crowd
to gather around you and have a good
time. Once. at Cincinnati, q baggage
man threw a valise OF mine ON the
platform with such force that it broke
open and spread my belongings about.
1 gave that man a piece Of my mind.
but I was sorry I had not set more
value on my time than that. A crowd
of baggage men and passersby gather
ed to bet whether / was going to be
able to put all my things together or
not 1 felt I was giving free show;
I quickly collected my goods and chat
tells, disappeared quickly and went to
buy a new trunk.-Max O'Rell in New

Lightning telegram.

1t is not in show performances that
one finds the greatest achievements OF
the telegraph. but IN the speed with
which ordinary business is transacted.
Thus the Stock and Produce Ex-
changes Of New York and Chicago
have the closest possible connection.
There IS a vast amount of communica-
ton between the exchanges of the two
cities every day, and the telegraph
companies have their offices on the
floors Of the exchanges. 1t is on rec
ord that messages have been sent from
the New York Produce Exchange to
the Chicago Produce Exchange and an
swers received In 40 seconds. When
one reflects that these were ordinary
messages, for which no special prep
aration was made. and that the OPP
GRAFTON involved the writing out OF the
messages at each end OF the line and
their delivery to the persons to whom
they were addressed, the result seems
marvelous.-Ainslee's Magazine.

Hang Them I'm.

At an inquest which was held recent
ly on the body of a child who had been
found standing in front of the fire with
his clothing in flames the coroner said
he had often remarked that the only
way of keeping children out of mis-
chief was to chain them up, but then
they would probably hang themselves
with the chain.
The Chinese have a capital plan.
They put their children in sacks with
holes for the head and arms and hang
them up. 1t must be a comicaI sight
to go into a house where there is a
large family and see all the children
hanging up on the wall.--London

How n Detective Lost a Big RcvvaBa
offered For Thieves.
While the detectives were sitting
around the office waiting for the SER
eeant to issue assignments and msAe
details one OF the men. an old steuth
whose hair has grown white shadow
ing criminals, suddenly gave O loud
sneeze that made the incarfescent
lights vibrate.
Great stars!" exclaimed Que of<the
younger brood. you are the most vo-
ciferouS sneezer / ever heard"
Eyes. and let me tell you something,
boys" replied the old detective. That
sneeze of mine once cost me $4,000"
The expressions Of incredulity upon
the faces Of his hearers caused the old
detective to tell the story OF the vcostfy
sneeze.
Maybe some of you remember" he
said, about the police In Atlanta being
notified back in the eighties OF two
bank robbers heading this way. They
had robbed n bank In the east, and the
report was they were coming to Allan
IA to meet and divide the spoils, hay
Ing separated after the robbery to avoid
suspicion. l was detailed to work on
the case. and it wasn't many days be-
fore had spotted a suspicious stran-
ger stopping ut n boarding house In the
city. I kept a close watch on him, and
n few days later another suspicious
character turned up and went to the
same house TO board. L knew the men
were only suspected and that to secure
evidence upon which to convict them
would have TO see them together when
they divided the money or hear them
discuss their plans when they thought
themselves unnOticed."
The story was getting interesting, for
the "boys" in the detective office knew
that no matter how much the old sleuth
fooled other people he never went back
on the "profesh."
$50 I arranged with the landlady Of
the boarding house." continued the old
detective, ito lock me up in the closet

the men held their meeting. and as

The rest would have been plain sail

In the closet all right. 1 heard them
talk about how they had worked the
robbery and discuss the division of the

ment felt that was going to sneeze
1 did everything IN my power TO keep

London dispatches from China say:

London dispatches from China say:
"The rebellion In China continues to
grow in intensity and the gravest fears
are entertained of its ultimate extent.
The foreign ENJOYS at Pekin, fear
ing q massacre within the capital,
have decided to bring up guards for
their legislations.-The rebels are
now massing outside of Pekin and
their numbers are reported to DO
constantly augmenting Fresh con-
tingents of armed msloontents are
coming up almost hourly from the
north.-The Chinese imperial troops
which were sent to disperse the reb-
els found themselves hopelessly out
numbered. Several hundred were
killed and two cannon were captured,
after which most of the remaining
troops went over to the rebels. They
are now marching side by side. :"
The American Minister, Mr.. Couger,
has asked for troops to protect the
legation, and it is expected marines
will be landed from the cruiser
Newark. 1t is reported, also, that
Russia is about to land troops at Taku
from Port Author, where 10000 are
in readiness. The "Boxers"-the
anti foreign agitstors who are at the
bottom of the present trouble, assert
that they are confident of receiving
support from the dowager empress,
Princess KsngYi and Ching Tuan
and the entire Msnchu army.
Throughout the north the "Boxers"
are enlisting hordes of desperadOes.
