A Wind That Blew.

"You call this a stiff March wind q"
remarked my friend, Dan Weyrich,
the other evening. "Why, this is
nothing. This is southern spring
zephyr compared with what we used
to get when l was boy. We were
living then over on the farm. Our
house was set in very exposed place
on q small hill. When the March wind
blew she rocked that house like small
skiff in gale at sea. slept then in
q bed on rollers. Many night in
March was awakened by the rolling
of the bed all around the room. It
would bang against all four walls,
making such a noise that sleep was
well-nigh impossible"
"What did you do them" ventured
to ask.
"What could I do" said Dan, "but
sleep on the floor and hang on to the
bed to keep it from rolling. 1t was
sleeping under difficulties, I'll admit,
but then we didn't have many nights
like that."-Albany journal.

worried about letting her make the

at will be great pleasure to me-"
said Littlepage, with one of his best
Alabama bows.
Mrs. Larsen was pretty woman.
After Littlepage had been presented
her husband had just time to get of
the car before the train started. Lit.
tlepage sat down IN the seat with her
and soon found that she was as pleas.
ant and entertaining as she was good
looking. 1t was really great piece
of luck for him. 1t promised to make
tiresome trip rather pleasant than
otherwise. Mrs. Larsen had often
heard her husband speak of him. He
was from Alabama? He had fought q
duel or two? Was it true that he had
actually shot a man? Did he always
carry revolver?
Littlepage tried to explain his deli.
cate ideas of honor and the proper
way to protect it. She seemed to be
half-afraid of him, and, as Littlepage
was a young man, that did not detract
from her charm.
Halfway across the state, at lit.
tie way station, q fat man with big
black mustache and q huge diamond
stud got on the car and sat down
across the aisle in seat where he
could stare Mrs Larsen full in the
face. At the first glance Littlepage
disliked him. He looked impertinent.
His appearance put Littlepage almost
into rage. He had an insolent stare,
and it seemed that he could hardly
keep his eyes off pretty Mrs. Larsen.
Half dozen times Littlepage glanced
up only to catch his bold black eyes
staring across the aisle. He wondered
if Mrs. Larsen had noticed it. Finally
he spoke to her.
"rhat man across the aisle is look
ing at you in an impertinent way" he
said. 'If you'll allow me I'll go over
and make him stop it,"
Mrs. Larsen begged that he would
do nothing Of the kind. She had not
noticed that he was staring at her,
At any rate, she was sure there was no
OCCASION 20 MAKE scene.
Littlepage assured her that he was
not in the habit of making scenes
which could be embarrassing to wom-
en-. When he spoke to impertinent
people they obeyed him without maxi
ing any loud objections. That was one
reason why q gentleman should al
ways carry revolver.
Presently the fat man got up and
went out into the dining car. A few
minutes later Littlepsge asked Ars

belonged to the old school. His family

He had been brought up in the good

Careless Blasting.

This morning the workmen quarrying
stone on the hill back OF the city put
off a big blast and it was a miracle
some one living in that vicinity was not
killed Ehe charge was a very heavy
one, and when the explosion occurred
a number of large stones were thrown
on the roofs of the houses near by. A.
the home of j. e. WaCer piece of
stone weighing about twenty pounds
went through the tin roof and lanued
in the bath room, from which Mrs.
Wagner had just come. Windows in
some other houses were broken, and in
two or three cases large stones fell on
the roofs of the houses and broke
through. Apparently the workmen are
very careless and do not seem to have
any though for the people in that vi
cinity. When blast in discharged II
is not safe to be within several hun
bred feet of the quarry on account of
the falling rock. Damage from this
cause has occurred a number. of times
and the Guy should take some steps to
stop the reckless business.

Unrivalled Collection of Wild AMI
male with Ringing Bros. Circus

male with Ringing Bros. Circus
Ringing Brothers menagerie, which
will be seen with this famous big show
when it exhibits in Wheeling, Thurs
day, May q, is the largest and most
complete geological collection in the
world. The display is complete in ev-
cry detail. 1t contains more specimens
of rare wild beasts than all the other
circuses and geological gardeIcs in
America combined. The magnitude OF
the collection is sufficiently indicated
when the statement is made that it en-
braces thirty elephants, ranging from
the tiniest of baby elephants to herd
of the largest pachyderms in the world,
together with scores of other animals
and hundred dens and cages of rare
and costly wild beasts. The method Of
displaying the animals is admirable.
The great menagerie pavilion is ar
ranged like a vast geological garden.
In the center spaces are displayed the
elephants, the great herd of camels, the
curious Philippine water buffaloes, the
dwarf sacred cattle, the sixty Shetland
ponies and other led animals. The
wild animal dens, which are handsome
ly carved and gorgeously decorated,
line the walls, with a broad esplanade
between. A successful effort has been
made to exhibit the animals in such a
way as to illustrate their life in a nat
ural state. The aquaria in which the
hippopotami, sea lions, seals and other
water-frequenting animals are exhibit
ed, is supplied with constantly flowing
water. The aviary comprises nearly a
score of handsome, illuminated
cages, filled with the -plummaged
birds of every land. The childrens
menagerie, with its tiny cages of ami
mails, has the largest and most varied
collection of monkeys, apes, chimpanz-
ices and other simians ever placed on
exhibition for the pleasure and profit
of the little folk. Among the hun
dreds Of other curious animals there
are many rarely seen in captivity.
There is ferocious bi-horned rhinoc-
eros, a fine specimen of the gnu, or
horned horse; monster white Polar
bears: den of black tigers; several
superb specimens of the Royal Bengal
tiger, scores of lions. zebras, kanga-
roos, and many other wild animals,

desert ostriches. An hour spent in
Ringing Brothers menagerie is fit
ting introduction to the performance in
the vast hippodrome pavilion. The
circus, like the menagerie, is bigger
and better than ever this year. Scores
of new arenic features have been secur-
ed for the present season; thirty rid
ers, sixty acrobats, an equal number of
aerialists, forty clowns and a great
congress of other high-class specialists
contribute to magnificent three-ring
circus performance, which is thrillingly
concluded with an all new Roman hip
podrome, presented upon an unequalled
scale of grandeur and completeness.
