but one sniff. He has made mistake,
and realizes it at once. ''Oh, excuse
me-" he says quite plainly. II didn't

he is SO confused and ashamed that he
runs away without waiting to make
up.
1t is a great mortifica ton to gem

in this way. remember another col
lie, much younger than this one, with
whom once had minute or two of
friendly intercourse. Then, months
afterward, I went again by the house
where he lived, and he came dashing
out with all fierceness, as if he would
rend me in pieces. I let him come
(there was nothing else to do, or moth
ing else worth doing), but the instant
his nose struck me he saw his error.
Then, in flash, he dropped fiat on the
ground and literally licked my shoes.
There was no attitude abject enough
to express the depth of his humilia-
ton. And then, like the dog of this
morning, he jumped up and ran with
all speed back to his doorstep.

AN UNUSUAL EXHIBITION.
Extraordinary Parting Takes Place
Between Two Men at u Rail-
way Station.

An elderly man and his strapping son
stood in a railway station one day late
ly awaiting a train. The son was an
athletic-looking chap, who attracted
general attention by his magnificent
proportions, says the Baltimore News.
Apparently he was going west. At all
events, when his train was called the
lookers-on fairly held their breaths
with surprise, for the younger man put
his arms around the elder one and
kissed him fairly and squarely on his
mustached mouth. Then he scurried
through the gate, and the last view of
him showed him waving a farewell
from the back platform of the Sleep
ing car.
The remarkable thing about this lit
tie scene was that both participants in
it were Americans. One wouldn't have
been surprised at such show of af-
lection if they had been Germans or
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1901-06-20

Frenchmen or Italians; but it was an
unusual exhibition for practical, I'M
sentimental young America to make.
The average native Of the United
States, should he return from Darkest
Africa after an absence of ten years,
would shake hands with his father just
as he would with the strange guest
within his gate, and he would ask both
affably to have a cigar. On the other
hand, his masculine relatives would
evince their interest and affection by
asking him it his boat were on time.
kissing in American families seems
to be looked upon as a foolish cere-
mony performed to propitiate the fem
mime members. and too undignified to
take place between the lords of Gre
alton. There are times, of course,
when men do not consider OSCILLATION
either undignified or foolish - but
that's another story.

windows during the hours the offices
are occupied. And then, of course,
there are great buildings that do not
require awnings on some sides, but
need them on others; or in courts and
so on.
Here, for instance, is q building
with about 1000 windows, of which
GOO or thereabouts are supplied with
awnings.
"Another building have in mind
has about 1000 windows. don't know
how many awnings they have there,
but If it is supplied in the same pro-
portion as the other, that would give
it about 1000 awnings. 1 dare say,
that in fact, you would find in the city
single buildings with more than a
thousand awnings.
'You see, just the awnings for some
of these great modern buildings
amount to quite an item"

The message came in froman In
diana town late one Afternoon. The
office Ell sert .s4a--time tables went TO
work ~ once and figured out that
there was just time to catch the ia
nous worlds fair flyer which ran
between Chicago and New York. The
stan correspondent, with telegraph
\ operator and an assistant. was sent
post-haste to catch that train, with
instructions to get off at Valparaiso
and take an accommodation train
which left Summitville half an hour
later. He vas to get an account OF
what had happened there, and get
it into the office by telegraph before
midnight without fail.
At the station in Chicago it devel-
oped that the flyer was not sched-
uled to stop until it reached Cleve-
land. An interview with the en-
gineer. developed that the train
slowed up at Valparaiso for some
purpose or other, and that quick
man, who was willing to run some
chances, might get off there.
81 guess there won't nobody stop
you, boys said the engineer as he
swung up into the cab. ''We're
slowed down at Valparaiso so a man
can jump off if he has mind to-"
On the way down through the In
diana sand dunes, with the big mogul
engine doing its 50 miles an hour, a
local time table was found which
showed that the time of the accom-
mediation train had been changed. In
stead of leaving half an hour after
the flyer was due, it was scheduled to
pull out for Summitville in less than
ten minutes.
''Yes," said railroad man who
happened to be on board, "and the
depots are nearly a mile apart, at
that"
AS the flyer began to slow up at
Valparaiso the three men who were
bound for Summitville jumped of
the rear coach and ran to the sta
ton. Not a hack or other public We
hicle was in sight.
Backed up to the depot platform
was light delivery wagon with a
lanl1y white mare hitched to it. The
three men clambered into the back OF
this wagon and started at a gallop
for the other station, in front of
which the accommodate train was
already standing. AS the old marc
started on a jump the terrified boy
ran out of the station depot and just
managed to catch the tailboard of
the wagon. In minute he was in
the drivers seat. Fortunately he
was q youth who could rise to an
emergency.

of the windows and ran into thu
streets to watch the chase. Every
I time q crossing was passed the whole
outfit bounced high into the air and
"a dollar more if you drive little
faster" some one gasped as it struck
the ground again. For the accom-
mediation train had already got
steam up and was beginning to show
plain signs of Impotence.
Boy and mare both did their best
and the three men were just able to
climb on the rear platform of the
accommodation train as it pulled out
for Summitville.
Wha: happened to the grocer's boy
when he got back with his jaded
mare is still an unsettled question.
Nor did the boy or the people who
watched with startled eyes the flight
of the gaunt white mare even now
know what was the emergency which
made the mad chase necessary. There
were three GERS on the accommoda-
ton train to Summitville. In them
there were perhaps 80 people all told.
"A quick canvass of the train proved
that not person on board had even
heard Of any disturbance at Summit
vile, which village the train was not
due to reach until 1880 O'Clock. BY
that time Of the night it was likely
that everybody in town would be
sound asleep. To wake them up and
wait to get their stories would mean
q long delay and probably make it
impossible to get long telegram
into the Office by midnight. A coun-
Gil of war was held and the three
men determined that something must
be done to hurry things along.
Finally "a telegram was prepared
and sent to the mayor Of summit
vile. asking him if he would be
kind enough to meet the train when
reached the depot on a matter of
great Importance connected with the
battle of the previous night.

light FROM UNKNOWN METAL
strange Discovery in nm Idaho Mins
That PUSHES THOSE Well
Posted ON Minerals.

Residents of Boise City, ldahO, are
very much excited over the discovery
of mineral which has illuminating
power. The discovery was made by
George r. Ayres, a well-known mining
man of Boise, several weeks ago in
one of his claims about GO miles from
Boise. At the time he did not think
much of the matter, and therefore Pald
no attention to it. The further ne
went into the mine, however, the
brighter the light became, until, a1ter
few feet had been worked, it was not
necessary for him to use lamp. II
was then that he took some OF the
mineral to Boise and had it examined
by an assayer, says the Northwest
Magazine.
Terry L. williams, of Boise, who Is
interested with Ayres, was in Tacoma,
Wash, recently and had piece OF the
mineral with him. He will have an as
say of it made and expects that its
true worth will be determined.
$50 far we have not been able to
find any person who can tell what kind
Of mineral it isl he said, when ex-
hibiting it, ''and it is for that purpose
have brought it here. There is .
large body of it at the mine where
this was, taken out, about 60 miles
from Boise City. Mr.. Ayres, owner of
the mine, found it four weeks ago at q
depth of 300 feet from the surface. He
was running a crosscut tunnel to tap
his ledge at this depth, when he struck
this deposit.
cat first it attracted his attention
by giving forth a dull light. AS he
worked further in the light became
brighter, and at the end of three days
work he was able to go ahead without
the aid of lamp. Then the mineral
became curiosity, and some of it was
taken to Boise. 1t was examined, but
there has been no one who is able to
tell just what it is.
"Alr. Ayres took piece of it to his
cabin and after night tried to make
it show a light, but it was not so
bright as it had been in the tunnel.
This is attributed to the atmospheric
conditions, and is undoubtedly true,
in the experiments that have been
made with it in Boise we have been
able to reproduce the atmospheric
conditions in water that prevail where
the mineral is found, and therefore
it is not thought that we will have
any trouble in getting the desired re-
suit.
$50 far as we have been able to
learn this is the first of the mineral
ever found in the world. All assayers
to whom we have shown it say they
never heard of it before, and they are
not able to tell what it is. We will go
ahead and try to put it to some use,
and even at the present time are rea-
sonably sure of success. If it does
come out as we expect the mine will
be more valuable than we ever be-
lieved.
"There is a large body of the do
post and the farther we 60 the
stronger becomes the light. Another
thing that we are convinced OF is that
if it can be made practical it will be
perpetual light, for in the throwing
off of its rays there does not appear
to be any waste of the mineral. Since
the discovery there has been large
number of visitors to the mine, and
interest in the outcome is being
watched by all in the vicinity of where
the deposit was uncovered"

rangenfent has been found to work adj
mirably in Washington, as it saves a
great many hours of the carriers time
and removes all temptation on the
score of applying the tickets to per-
sonal use or otherwise disposing Of
them.
This is the reason why carriers in
Washington do not pay fare on the
cars as has been often observed in
the street cars. The same rule is in
force in Denver and Detroit and 9th
er cities, and it works we'll where
tried"
