Vienna is noted for its "cranks."
Il IS said to have twice as many as
Chicago. Two of them came to
the fore in the race of eccentricitY
for going to Paris. One was
merchant, the other a restaurant
keeper, and they made a wager
for 900 crowns that they would
reach the exhibition on foot within
two months, trundling before them
all the way a huge wine barrel,
which, although empty, weighed
over 500 lbs. The barrel was dec
GRATED with the arms Of Vienna
and PARIS, and was stamped with
the date $1,000" Although these
humorists covered eighteen miles
a day, they cut matters pretty fine,
only entering the Vincennes gate
Of the Fair city few hours before
the stipulated time.
Gr9tz, a Syrian town, also pro-
duced its pair OF humorists, but in
this case, like the pairs that went
into the ark, they were male and
female. The bet in this instance
was to the effect that the twain
would do the whole OF the journey
on one pair of legs, the idea being,
OF course, that one would carry
the other. AS a matter OF fact, all
the carrying was done by the hus-
band, but whether they got all the
way to Paris, or, indeed, how far
they went, history-that is, the
newspaper--sayet not.
There is no doubt, however, in
that respect as to the achievement
oi Dutchman named Van der
Bosch. The worthy in question
wagered and won a considerable
sum of money that he would walk
from Amsterdam to the Paris EX-
position on a pair OF high stills
withou once taking them off en-
route. He accomplished his OBJ
ject easily, and with plenty time to
spare, the stills allowing him to get
forward with great expedition.
Metaphorically he did it on his
head" and, a according to his own
statement, would do it again with
pleasure tor half the money-pro-
vidlng he could be sure Of conven-
lent sleeping quarters. AS it was,
his stills made him so tall that he
could enter neither inn, tavern, nor
farmhouse. He was obliged TO
sleep as best he might by the " ay-
side, and after lying on the ground
two or three times he found the
difficulty Of getting on to his feet
again so trying that afterwards he
preferred to recline on the roof Of
a house, il he could find one con-

stopped his team.
81 was greatly flattered by his at
tention, because he was the crosse st
and surliest man in town, and never
took any notice OF US boys, except
to sit in his orchard with a shotgun in
his hand when the apples were ripe.
So put in my best licks, and covere d
my hands with blsters, but the log
refused to split. hated to be beaten
but there was no help for it. The old
man noticed my chagrin.
"'Humph! 1 thought you'd have

81 made no reply; but the way that
ak head went into that log was a rev.
citation to me. AS 1 drove it into the
knots they yielded. There was a
cheerful crackle, the gap widened,
and soon the halves lay before me

FALL HUNTING in THE MAINE WOODS.

The hunting season is now on and
the sportsmen have already COM
menced to migrate towards the mex
haustible woodlands and forests of
Maine where game in abundance can
be found.
The reports received this year state
that deer are more plentiful than ever
before, and during the close season
hunters who had gone down TO camp
early so as to get a line on their
Whereabouts and be able to bag few
deer at the outset, were startled at
the great numbers which appeared to
be everywhere.
From the Moosehead Lake country
reports are to the effect that the guides
are making ready for more sportsmen
than ever before, and scores of moose
have been seen in that vicinity.
The country along the Penobscot
fairly alive this year with deer, and
this is also considered a remarkably
good moose territory.
Maine offers scenes and pleasures in
the line of fishing and hunting all her
own, and in the chase for big game,
she has no competitors. Deer are not
only more numerous in Maine, but
they grow to much larger size, and
the person who knows how to handle
gun at all, Is reasonably sure OF his
full quota of deer and moose.
Although deer and moose are usual
ly enough to satisfy the appetite of
the average sportsman, still they are
by no means the only kinds of game
to be found in these vast timberla nds.
Braces of smaller game, together with
a plentiful supply of partridge and
quail have already been brought into
camp; and in that section which lies
contiguous to the Dead River Region,
and known as the Rangely Region,
the farmers are very much troubled
on account of the numerous depreda

Gin all sincerity want to ask, is
Czolgosz alone guilty?" asks Booker
Washington. "Has not the entire ma
ton had part in this greatest crime
of the century? What is anarchy but
a defiance of law, and has not the ma
ton reaped what it has been sowing?"
Mr.. Washington has the right to put
this query. He did not need to refer
to the 3,516 persons lynched in the
United States during the past 16years.
The talk of lynching, that broke out
even in the very church attended by
the president at Washington after the
crime at Buffalo, shows how accus-
toned we have grown to words of
violence. Mr.. Washington is wise
counsellor. He knows the lynching
horror as few do. And when he urges
the nation to see that there is no idle,
absolute, purposeless class permitted
in our midst, and for all to unite in a
brave effort to bring criminals to JUS
tice, and where a supposed criminal
is found to see that he has a "fair,
patient, legal trial." he gives advice
that ought not to fall to the ground.
It is more than mere theorizing. 1t is
a problem than which we have no
greater Boston Record.

Only Sunburned.

Last summer two little girls in a
College Avenue family were repeated
ly demonstrated with by their indul-
gent mother for playing barebeaded
in the sun. "You will be burned so
badly" said she to them finally, "that
people will think you are black chill
dren." Her warning had little effect,
however, and she gave up trying to
keep their hats on.
One day she sent them to a neigh
Dor a block or so distant to make
some inquiries concerning a washer
woman. Mrs. S., the neighbor in
question, mistook them for the chill
dren of a Mrs. Black who lived in an
other street near by.
"You are the little Black children,
