The Drivers Point of View.

The hotel coach was filed with a
crowd Of happy, jubilant visitors, and
the horses toiled splendidly up the
hills. AS each eminence was reached
and at every turn in the road the crowd
would burst forth into cries Of wonder
and delight at the magnificent scenes
which burst upon their view. The
mountain jehu alone preserved a dig
nifty and silence which rather awed the
Others. At length, after a particularly
lovely view had been passed, one of the
guests at the drivers left hand re-
marked:
"'You don't seem to take much inter
est in the scenery. No doubt it's an old
story to you"
The driver shook his head. "NO,
that's not it," he answered 81 just
don't care" Then he leaned a little
closer and whispered: But l knows
just how you folks must feel You all
come from long distance just to see
things, and you're bound to enjoy it
anyhow so as to get your moneys
worth and not feel as though you was
cheatin' yourselves. Oh" said this

IDEAS of News.


4 Justice John NJ Harlan of the United
State supreme court, when a practic-
ing lawyer in Louisville, once tried his
hand at newspaper work, taking the
place of a personal friend, then editor
of the Louisville Commercial The JUS
tice got along all right writing editori-
ais, but had ideas as to news that were
at variance with those of the city edi.
tor.
One of the reporters had written a
clever account of a man who had fallen
from the fourth story Of a building and
escaped without serious injury. 1t
made a story Of about a column in
length. With a proof of the article in
his hand the temporary editor came to
the city editor and said:
'Mr. Smith, please have this story
cut down. l can't see anything in it
that makes it worth that space"
But it's the star story of the day,
Mr. Harlan" gasped the astonished
news man. II think it's a remarkable
story and well worth all the space Civ
en- to it."

man had jumped up four stories, it
would certainly have been remarkable,
but even a fool could fall down four
stories, or half a dozen, for that mat

Held by Etiquette.

When Dom Pedro, then emperor OF
Brazil, was entertained at the White
House, he had been told by a confused
senator that it would be expected that
he, the emperor, should be the last OF
the guests to depart.
The presidents wife, however, inform
ed her other guests that they would be
expected to follow, not precede, the
royal party in leaving the house.
The result was that no one dared to
go for fear of breach of etiquette.
But at o'clock in the morning a tired
woman pretended illness, and the dead
lock was broken.
Great is etiquette but common sense
is sometimes allowable.

Investigation has been going on at

a view to learning the extent of leprosy

are about 275 cases in the United
States. 1t is thought probable that the
real number may be nearer q thou

cases are In New Orleans. chiefly
among the italian population. There
are twenty-three In Minnesota, mostly
Scandinavians In the rural settle
ments. There are fifteen cases in
North and two in South Dakota.
Chicago has five cases and New York
six. 1t is noteworthy that nearly all
the reported victims seem to be for
eigners. The Scardinayians seem
peculiarly susceptible. They either
had It when they landed in America
or contracted 1t shortly afterward.
Every one of the cases In the Dakotcs

Meanwhile the robbers had discovi

them from the fire. Two of the fell
lows approached the wigwam. AS
they reached 1t Macdonald and Helen

cords that bound the maidens

happening to touch our hero, the lat

his enemy to the lava. The robbers.
now thoroughly aroused. hurled forth
imprecations that echoed in a deafen-
ing manner throughout the cavern.
But they could not readily find a lam
tern, and could not tell where the fu-
gitives, running noiselessly in their
stocking feet. were. The pursuers dis.
charged their pistols at random, and
one bullet whistled by the heads OF
our hero and heroine They continued
to run, keeping as nearly as they could
a straight course.
Macdonald opened the slide of the
lantern as soon as he dared to do it.
They had reached the top of the height
Just above the shore; but no flag was
in sight.
The robbers saw the fugitives, yelled
viciously and fired their pistols. Bull

tended victims.
Macdonald closed the lantern, and
holding Helen's hand, walked along
the islands edge. Again he allowed
CLEAN Of light to escape. He saw the
flag ten feet from him, and closed the
lantern before the Williams could fire.
The steps of the pursuers sounded
fearfully near.
The fugitives ran forward, expecting
each moment to be precipitated into
the water. But fortune favored them.
They fell against the flag pole. and re-
covering themelves in second, slid
down the islands steep bank. Mac
Donald opened the lantern. Thank
God! The boat was at their feet.
They sprang into it. Macdonald
handed Helen the lantern, cut the
rope, grasped the oars, and they were
afloat.
At this moment three of the robbers,
waving pistols, gained the summit Of
the bank.

cried.

hands and fell forward into the water.
Macdonald knew that his friends
had come to the rescue just in time.
He looked behind him, and saw on the
lava shelf his five brave companions
waving their hands with delight.
The boat touched the shore. Will

Awed by the fate of their comrades,
the five robbers on the island sur
rendered themselves, and, with most
of the property which they had stolen.
