stricken, turned. leaving the greater
number of his men in the trap where
his own folly had led them, and TAX

II is not likely that there is another
such instance in the recent history of
British arms. Teck and his men did
not draw rein until they had fed 1,200
yards, where the untaken guns were
unlimbered and a perfunctory attempt
was made to shell the Beers, who
quickly got out of range with their
booty. Nor were the guns followed up,
though II is known that recovery was
feasible.
The only sequel. says the Chicago In

cowardice has been the victimizing Of
Gatacre. Teck was major In the First
Life Guards. An untitled Britisher

A Twelve Hnnr Dinner.

They dined well. if not wisely, in the
old days described by Sir Algernon
West in his "Recollections." He says;
Thanks TO the introduction of smok-

pears most incredible. The late Lord
Clanwilliam told me of one occasion
when he had dned at friends villa
near Putney. The dinner was extraor-

when they at last rose from the
table and went up to their rooms. Lord
Clanwilliam flung open his window
and saw the haymakers coming into
the field.
"T wonder he thought, what hour
they begin work And on consulting
his watch he found 1t was S:30-the
haymakers were returning to work

Only Women Can Pronounce Is.

The state Besjukoyschtschina In Rus
STA is probably the only place In the
world that is run entirely by women.
This state Is made up of seven villages,
each presided over by mayoress, the
whole under the superintendent of a
lady named Ssschka, who acts as pres
ident. There are women magistrates,
women preachers, women policemen
in fact, every capacity In the state is
filled by women. The roads are made
by women and women sell milk and
deliver letters. If you want to bring
an action against your neighbor In this
State you go to a woman lawyer, and
II there is anything in your house to
be stolen then a burglar of the weaker
sex steals 1t. No place Of any import
ance Is filled by a man.

WORKED IT BOTH WAYS.

a Neat swfndline Scheme That
Fleeced bucket shop Patrons.
"If the real inside workings of the
average bucket shop were laid bare"
said telegraph operator who has had
much experience in such establish
ments, the revelation would open the
eyes Of the young donkeys who imag-
Inc they can beat the game. Just to
illustrate the point I'll tell you a little
story.
"Some time ago there were two rival
bucket shops In certain southern
city, supposed to be run by northern
operators. Business was q little slow.
and 1t was evident that the specula-
tive element was inclined TO be suspi-
cious OF both establishments. One
day the manager of one OF the concerns
hunted up a young fellow who had
more money than brains and. handing
him $50. asked him, as n special favor,
to go over TO the other house and make
such and such play. It's a private
speculation of my own he said, and
have a straight tip, but l can't very
well place the money myself on ac-
count of my connection with = &
Co. II did they'd get suspicious right
away
THE young idiot supposed. Of course,
that he had struck n bonanza-one
bucket shop man playing against an
otherl II must be sure thingi So he
not only placed the $50 as requested.
but played the tip hard himself, and so
did all his friends, whom he promptly
let into the secret. Needless TO say,
they were all eventually skinned out of
every cent they put in, but the remark
able part of the story is that the same
tactics were worked back and forth
by both managers on at least dozen
different occasions. Each time II was
done they gathered In a lot Of new
clients and made big haul. II de-
yeloped not long afterward that the
two bucket shops were run by the
same people."-New Orleans Times

NIGHT BELLS.
Various Kinds of Help 20 he invoked
Through Their Aid.

OF night bells of one sort and another
there will be found in cities many.
There is. for instance. the drug store
night bell. which is old and familiar.
In large cities there are nowadays
more drug stores than formerly that
keep open all night, but the drug store
night bell Is still an institution. Inside
the window there is a light so placed
that its illumination serves at once to
give a glow to some highly colored
jar of water-tlme honored emblem
of the apothccary-and make that
serve as sign and to show to those
who are seeking 1t. when they shall
have come near, the location of the
bell.
Likewise is the undertaker's night
bell old and familiar and TO be found
In numbers, with a light so placed
within as TO reveal 1t plainly.
A peculiarly modern night bell is the
plumbers night bell. for whose coming
into existence there are two reasons
one the multiplication In cities. for the
equipment of dwellings in accordance
with modern ideas of comfort, of pipes
and plumbing of all sorts. for steam
heat and water and gas. and so the
multiplication of emergencies arising
out of the use of them; the other be-
ing the modern way of not putting
things off till tomorrow, of following
always a beaten track in doing things
but of being ready If called upon for
work at any time. day or night.
The night bell that probably Is to be
found In most limited number and
then only in great maritime cities Is
the night bell of the wrecking COM
pany. Even in this big town there is
perhaps but one such night bell, but
there is at least one. which may be
found placed In the wall outside of a
wrecking company's office, In water
side street, with painted sign on the
wall beside 1t, in the usual familiar
words, Might bell" place where
one can go to get help for vessels In
distress by night as well as by day.

Mr.. jefferson was startled by violent
humping on his door. When he strug-
gled into consciousness and realized
that he had left no "call' order at the
office, he was naturally indignant. But
his sleep was spoiled for that morning,
SO he arose, and soon after appeared
before the clerk. "See here" he de-
manded of that individual, why was
called at this unearthly hour?'
II don't know, SIR" answered the
clerk, I'm ask Mike"
The Irishman was summoned. Said
the clerk: mike. there was no call for
