Queen VictOria's Staff,

The staff that supports Queen Vic
toria when she walks across the room
is a stick made of oak for Charles IT,.
and presented to that monarch by a
citizen Of Worcester. 1t was originally
a branch of the famous oak tree into
which the king climbed at Boscobel
when pursued by Cromwells men. The
stick had at first only a plain gold
head, but to this has been added a
queer little Indian idol which formed
part of the booty at Seringapatam
and which now gives the grip" the
queen requires. Of all the walking
sticks this one is her majesty's favor
ite, and it never leaves her side.-Bos-
ton Herald.

POOR OLD JIM"
His Last Joke on His Dear Wife.

His Last Joke on His Dear Wife.
Il don't think I'll try any more prac-
tical jokes on my wife. They don't
pan out we'll" "Elucidate" you see,
she has habit Of hosting the window
in our room every night. AS I usually
30 to bed last she depends on me to
hoist it. Sometimes I forget 1t and
then there's wild squabble. Frequent
ly she wakes me up in the night and
asks me to see If 1t Is open. If don't
she nags at me until morning. A night
or two ago I resolved to give her a
hard scare. l rolled up lot Of old
newspapers into long bundle and laid
the package down by the window. OF
course, she was asleep and didn't hear
me. Then l opened the window lit
tie ways and crept into bed. Some
time after midnight she nudged me and
said: Jim, I'm sure you didn't open
that window-it's like bake oven in
the room. Get up and see.' So | got
up, went to the window and threw the
sash as high rs it would go. AS l did
so l gave little Shrek and then flung
my bundle down to the walk below 1t
struck with dull thud and l lodged
behind the curtain to await develop
ments. The room was very dark and
l couldn't see my wife, but heard her
raise herself to a sitting posture. Then
she spoke. Poor old JIM she quietly
said, he's tumbled out of the window
In his raggedest night shirt. What a
spectacle he'll be when they find him
in the morning!' Then she lay down
again and went to sleep" What did
you do?" STOOD there shivering for
minute or two and then speaked into
bed. d."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"DRop GAME"
Revived in Philadelphia by q Daring
but Foolish Thief.

Revived in Philadelphia by . Daring
but Foolish Thief.
A daring attempt was made by
George Williams of Boston yesterday
to rob Harry NJ. Battersby of
5000 by means of the drop game,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. The at
fair took place in the National Secur-.
ity bank, Franklin street and Girard
avenue. Battersby, who lives at 374S
Germantown avenue, was sent by his
father, a livery stable keeper, to de-
posit the money in the bank On
entering he noticed Williams follow
ing him. Suddenly Williams tapped
him on the back and said: "You have
dropped some money" Battersby
turned around and saw some bills ly
ing on the floor, and was about to
pick them up when Williams snatched
the 5000 out of his hand and started
to run. Battersby ran after him and
caught him by the shoulder at the
door of the bank, but Williams ran
down Girard avenue, with Battersby
after him, crying stop thief" Po
liceman Webster and James Hunger
buehler of 1922 North Fifth street
Joined in the chase, and followed Will
liams into Cambridge street, small
thoroughfare that runs east from Sew
enth street, below Girard avenue.
Williams darted into a house, where
he was captured by Webster, after
the latter had dubbed him into sub
mission. AS Williams fled he dropped
all the money with the exception of
$95, which was found on him. Later
in the day he was taken to the city
hall and given hearing before Mag
istrate South. He was identified by
Battersby, Policeman Webster, Hun
gerbuehler and Charles Zoll, a clerk
in the bank After hearing the tes-
timony the magistrate held Williams
in $4,000 bail, and the case was i'm
liediately sent to. court.

THE SERVANTS
OF Wealthy Englishmen Must Be Skilled
n


In Sports.
Many times during the last 12
months advertisements for men SER
wants in London papers have set forth
that applicants must be good golf play
ers, the advertisers in such case be-
ing gentlemen living in lonely places
where they found it hard to get reg
ularly any neighbor who could enjoy
a game with them. Such advertise
ments excite surprise in the mind of
the general public, but in connection
with minor yachting, and in cases
where the owners of small yachts are
enthusiasts of limited means, the same
rule has been observed for years,
man servant who could not only per-
form his domestic duties efficiently,
but hand, reef and steer" as well be-
ing regarded as something of treas
ure. And for years-as all profession
al cricketers knOW-a certain noble
man, whose principal residence and es-
tate are in the south of England, has
engaged no indoor male servant who
was not an able all-round cricketer,
his very valet being a once celebrated
county bowler. 1t is only a very few
years ago that a match took place on
this nobleman'S grounds, in which all
the eleven on one side were personal
servants--four of them indoor ones
of the gentleman in question.-London

LIFE NEAR puNrA ARENAS.
Curhing Inquisitiveness and Chasing o.

Curhing Inquisitiveness and Chasing o.
triches Two of Its Features.
The only town in the straits of Ma
gellan is Punta Arenas, a free port,
which was formerly penal colony of
Chile and is now very important
market and supply point for the min
ers of Terra del Fuego, the ranchmen
of Patagonia and for passing steamers.
1t has population of about $4,000 peo-
pie, representing all the tribes and
races of mankind, and it is not safe to
ask man where he came from and
what his name was before his arrival.
In Patagonia ostriches are not bred as
at Cape of Good Hope, but run wild,
and are being gradually exterminated.
The Indians chase them on horseback
and catch them with a bolas-two
heavy balls upon the end Of rope
woven of leather strings. Grasping
one ball in the hand they gallop af-
ter the ostrich, and, whirling the other
ball around their head like coil Of
lasso, they let go when near enough to
the bird, and the two balls, still re-
volving in the air, if skilfully directed,
will wind around the long legs of the
ostrich and send him turning somer-
sets upon the sand. The Indians if
they are out of meat cut the throat Of
the bird and carry the carcass to camp,
but if they have no need of the food
they pull the long plumes from his tail
and wings and let him go again to
gather fresh plumage for the next sea-
son. Some years ago a young Eng
ilsh lord who went down to EXTERN
mate the ostrich family came very
near being lynched for manslaughter,
as the first bolas he threw took one Of
the half-breed guides under the ear
and laid him out as cold as wedge.
His lordship made suitable provision
for the family of his victim, and the
deceased mans partner Immediately
took up with the bereaved widow with
out the formality of wedding cere-
mony; the bride and groom omitted
the usual period of mourning and ap-
peared to be much gratified at the re-
suits of his lordship's visit. OF course
the neighbors were scandalized, but
the marriage was useful in diverting
public attention from the accident, and
the reckless scion of the nobility Slip
ped away without explaining matters
to the courts.-Chicago Record.

WILLIEs MENU.

The New England small boy general
1y shows business capabilities at a ten
der age, if he is ever going to have them.
l have heard of a certain small Boston
boy who got into the habit of teasing
his mother for pennies, until at last
she said to him: NOW, Willie, l don't
like to give you pennies if you want
money, you should go to work and earn
it," The boy remained thoughtful for
some time Then, within a few days,
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty of pennies. She wondered a bit
where he got them, but did not question
him. But one summer day she noticed
that some sort of hullabaloo was 60
Ing on in the back ward. Looking out
she saw Willie surrounded by IA mob
of boys, who were yelling with delight
She went down into the yard to see
what was going on, and as che passed
out she saw, stuck up on the back wall
of the house this notice, quite neatly
printed" out with a pencil:
Willie Jones Will Eat
l email green worm for ......... cent
! large green worm for ...... 2 cents
! small fuzzy worm for...... 3 cents
! large fuzzy worm for...... cents
] small green toad for $50. % cents
Willie was apparently doing a thriv
ing business. His mother interrupted
it-at any rate, in her own back yard.
! don't suppose that she had any assur
ance that he wasn't still carrying it on
somewhere else.-Boston Transcript.

pnblic admitted to esW this beautiful
art work. The monument Is the mas
terpiece of Thomas Ball The figure Of
Washington was exhibited at the
Worlds Fair, in Chicago, and he was
