got his Information. ''Oh, | got word

t~rotter, which he drives almost daily
on the speedway, he remarked: Il

Jack (the horse) has a spasm on his

ire Joseph Jefferson became so
wei. known, and during the memorable
run OF rip Van Wrinkle" at Booth's
old theater at Sixth ven and TWEEN
ty-third street, somebody sent him q
check made payable to himself. The
amount has no special bearing upon the
anecdote. Jefferson needed the money,
and, after indorsing the check, present
ed it for payment at the bank.
''You will nave to be accompanied py
some one who will identify you before !
am privileged to cash your check SAID
the paying teller, politely.
Jefferson insisted that it was impos-
sible for him to do so before the time
came for the bank to close, and that ne
was in immediate need of the money.
But the paying teller was immovable.
Turning away and walking toward the
door, Jefferson said, sadly:
IF my dog Schneider was here ne
would identify me-"
Here" called the paying teller, MT.
Jefferson, hand me your check. There's
but one man in the world who can say
those words."-New York Times.

wonders of Dying Dolphin.

We were on a sailing ship, seven
passengers of us, bound from Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, to New York. Our
ship was a bark, the Adelaide Fender
CAST, owned in New York. She had
been long out from her home harbor,
FIRST to Cadiz, Spain, with merchan-
disc; thence to Rio de Janeiro, for
coffee, with which she was laden.
Her crew were Norwegians, her master
Capt. John Lawson, as jolly an Irish
man as ever sailed the salty waves,
says q writer in Forest and Stream.
'Hurrah!" cried the captain one day.
Here is something new for you! Come
and see a dolphin, the most beautiful
fish that lives in water" We made a
rush for the bulwarks, and to our de-
light saw swimming along with us sew
eral emerald-hued fish, from three to
five feet long, graceful in shape and
motion. Their bodies were like satin,
of a delicate green shading to a deeper
hue at the fms. Darling and whirling,
they changed places rapidly, moving
from one side of the ship to the ether.
"Ill give you a sight you never saw
before exclaimed the captain. you
shall sec a dying dolphin" He brought
his gig, a small harpoon, with its cruel
fshhook darts, and fastening a line to
its long handle, made it secure around
his wrist. Cant hook these fellows
with a hook and line" he said. We
had already been RECALLED with shark
o-J cT1do from tho limo that HING
at the stern. The captain leaned over
the rail. With 1.-the motion the fish
darted under the weapon suspended
over them. A quick plunge, with sure
aim, a green flash through the air, and
the struggling, leaping victim wa
landed on the deck. And now we saw
the dying dolphin. Let scientists ex-
plain how it changes it's colors; we cal
but make record of it's appearance. The
glowing green died away to silver
This became spotted with blue, which
gradually spread until the whole fisl
was a sapphire color. Waves of golt
flashed over it, growing deeper until
was golden fish, only to be trans
formed into a roseate n by spot
which came and extended. Thus from
color to color changed the gleamini
sides of the quivering beauty of tn
deep, until pity was almost forgotten
in admiration and we exclaimed
Never have we seen anything NOR
beautiful than a dying dolphin" w

t friend fish, of a delicate golden brown
which was a welcome relief to OF
e salty bill of fare; but that is common

k fish, which, swanlfke, yields it's charm

keep a control of the rudder for a long

According to Nature, o most reputa-

''momentous discovery" in relation TO
the origin of species among plants has
been made by Prof. de Vries, the fam
Gus botanist and biologist Of Holland,
Hie observations indicate that new
plant species appear suddenly by muta-

gressive variation; and he claims TO-

How Jamie landed His Big Fish.

A fifty-two pound catfish was taken
from a shallow pool formed by the
subsistence of the Platte river, a fow
days ago, says a Fremont, Neb., c
spondent of the Nebraska State .
nal. Jamie Mclean, a boy of about Is
years, was going after some of his
fathers horses in Saunders county and
happened to hear a splashing of the
water behind him. He looked around
and beheld a fish of huge proportions
%1oundering around in the pool. He at
once, formed a lasso of the rope he
was carrying and proceeded to fasten
it round the head of the fish. While
he was thus engaged the creature
knocked him down once with it's tail
but he finally managed to get the rope
in place. He then mounted his horse
and fastened the end of the rope tt
the saddle and started for the shore
The fish was so strong that progr
was made but slowly, and at one tim
the horse began to sink in the quick
sand but after considerable pulIin
/ and hauling the catch was safel
landed.

In the faint gray dawn he awoke
from a troubled sleep. They were on
a long sandy beech. Clear across the
bay were the buildings of the great
hotel. Beyond and above them was a
small village and the cross of a tiny
stone church showed over the trees.

The news of their rescue went by

whole house, excited by their disap-

piazzas and at the wharf for their re-
turn ON the coast steamer.
The people at the village had given
them some clothing but they presented
a strange appearance as they stepped

a white-haired old man and a red

both stern and choleric, their great
