One way of Getting Even.

"There is a fellow in our office who is
a chronic borrower" said Il young man
employed i'll large Market street eS-
tabIishment recently. HE got into
nearly everybody in the place before
we all made up our minds to stop lend
ing. He has owed me 81 for nearly a
year, but I'm nearly square, although
he has never paid me penny of it.
That sounds queer. but 1t is the truth.
I'll tell you how I've worked it.
every once in awhile one of the fell
lows will say. I'm going to make So
and-so give me what he owes me next
pay day or know the reason why
That's my chance, and l casually re-
mark, I'll bet you quarter you don't
get it, Usually the fellow takes me
up. and when pay day comes he loses
his bet, for So-and-so never pays. In
small bets of quarters and dimes,
luncheons and cigars 1 have nearly got
back the amount originally loaned to
the chronic borrower" = Philadelphia

They Eat Themselves.

From various causes, such as anger
and fear, many animals eat their own
flesh. Rats. when caught in a trap by
the leg, will gnaw off the captured
member, and mice in captivity have
been known to bite off their tails. But
there are some creatures which go
much further and actually eat parts of
themselves if left for too long n period
without food.
y byena belonging TO menagerie
was kept by the proprietor without
food in order to tame it. One morning
he was Mortified to find that the fero-
cious creature had actually eaten part
of its own leg.
An eagle in the zoo few years ago
was noted for the fact that it would
now and then pick pieces of flesh out
of it's own legs and eat them.
Certain caterpillars and toads devour
their cast off skin. This may be due
to fear but it looks like economy.
There is just trace of this charac-
teristic i'm human beings. Children
when in rage sometimes bite their own
hands and arms, although it must be
admitted that they desist when it be-
gins to hurt.

SHORT STAGE STORIES

Ernest Seton-Thompson, who has
been very aptly termed "the man
who knows wild animals de-
lighted large audiences at Har-
per's theater yesterday afternoon
and evening with his stories and
pictures. 1t was a rare treat to
the people of Rock Island, especially
the children, who were out in force.
and the sisters of the Villa de Chantal
are to be congratulated for bringing
to the city such a delightful enter
tainer. The lectures were illustrated
by stereopticon views-some of them
taken from photographs, others from
Mr.. Thompson's own drawings-of
bears, foxes, rabbits, deer, elk, and the
queer tracks wild animals make in
the snow. Mr.. Thompson is not a
lecturer, in the strict sense of the
word. He merely talks in a
charming conversational way on the
things in the animal life of which he
knows and sometimes tells why and
how he knows, and gives the animal
call. He is thoroughly instructive
and pleasing talker.

Did the Boy Trick of Touching His
Tongue to Cold Iron.

Did the Boy Trick of Touching His
Tongue to Cold Iron.
While walking along the Reading
Railway near Annville, Pa, Jacob ArtZ,
u North Annville Township farmer,
was seized with a desire to initiate the
dangerous practice of daring boys WHO
find it great fun to place their tongues
against the f-rost-covered surface OF
iron or steel. The steel tracks of the
railroad could not be resisted, and, ly-
ing on the ground, Artz placed his
tongue on one of the rails. The sensa-
ton produced by the contact of Artz's
organ of taste with the cold steel was
delightful, and his thought reverted to
the happy times when. as a boy. he
touched his tongue to an iron pump
handle or the iron handles of The doors
at home.
The full realization of his foolfardy
act was brought to Artz by the noise of
a disappointing freight train. Then
he tried to remove his tongue from the
rail, but could not. Louder and nearer
was the sound made by the train. and,
looking in its direction. .Artz was al
most paralyZed from fear, for the train
was on the same track to which he was
held Il helpless prisoner. Every effort
to pull the tongue.from the rail caused
.ArtZ TO fear it would be torn out of his
mouth, but finally. deciding to ave his
life even ut the cost of his tongue, he
gave it a quick wrench and was free.
.Artz lost no time in securing medical
attention.
DIR. e. b. Marshall, of 'Annville. re.
lieycd him considerably in mind and
body, informing him that the tongue, or
the greater portion of ii. was still i'll
place, although badly torn. He care
fully closed the wounds with several
stitches. The tongue has swollen to
large proportions and .Artz suffers Sc
