Costly Fare For Ostriches.

There was n happening at the ostrich
farm recently which disproves the
theory that the ostrich is satisfied with
eating nails, barbed wire and the like.
A man who had visited the farm the
day before discovered that his gold
watch was missing. Thinking that he
might have lost 1t at the farb he re-
turned To look for 1t. When he arriv-
ed. he enlisted the services OF youth
and started in quest without entertain.

About the first thing noticed by the
youth was an ostrich tossing some

1t is n common happening for wo-
men shoppers to be taken for sales

are especially numerous in the hat

take off their hats in order to try on
new ones. In many cases shoppers

But Il prominent wealthy woman Of
West Walnut street proved an cXccp-

who las been doing so for years, had
left her to go after another hat for
her To try on, when woman stepped
up TO the customer and expressed de-

promptly took the newcomer in tow
and gave her the benefit OF her knowl-
edge about number Of hats which she
had examined in her own search.
( When the salCsgirl appeared, she
turned the woman over TO her and
excused herself, while the girl,
sizing up the situation, went ahead
and made n good sale Of a hat that
her customer had praised. Then the

An Englishman Is always fond of re-
calling incidents Of his earlier days "at

crease or the hunting field seldom es-
cape his memory. One of these gentle
men who were once prominent In these
sports on the other side now resides In
Detroit, and he tells some good stories
Of the olden days. He brought to mind
the famous cricketcr, Lord Fitzhard-
inge, who played the great game for
30 years and who for the last Is of
them had never been bowled out. Fl
nally, whether by accident or not is not
known, he met his Waterloo. and the
wicket was knocked over back Of tho
great players bat. Naturally enough
the bowler felt proud Of his achieve
ment, but there was perhaps no call
for the extreme display Of exuberance
that he made. He threw himself down
on the ground. rolled about, stood up.

had gone crazy and capcred up and
down for fully five minutes. Lord Fit1-
hardlngc looked at him until he had
Iuietcd down, and then he said:
"Comc here, young man. I'd like to
speak to YOU"
The proud bowler approached.
"You are the only man who ever
bowlcd me out" he said. Here's Is for
you, and II you hadn't made such n

from &c Golden Gate.
Jack FIRE., the poet of our party, had
fallen "a down below with quiet, pale
faced New Englander whom he had
met in India, and the first morning out
he brought him up to become one Of
US. as he did straightway.
We all liked him immensely from the
first. He was of fine presence. six feet
high. well built and well hammered,
witty and intelligent. lie was, how
ever. apparently wanting in energy and
inclined to cynicism. These seeming
defects wc at once attributed to the
onervating influence of life in the
orient and thought no more about
them. He Interested us hours at Il
time with quietly told stories of his
travels, for he had seen not only tne
places we had visited, hut scores OF
others yet unknown to us.
But Maurice Wilson. for so will call
him, had also the pathetic smile and
the appealing blue eyes that all I'M
meaningly make willing fools of wo-
