Seemed to Have Got Ont.

A Chicago man on his summer vaca-
ton went to q Wisconsin lake resort
and one day became engaged in conver-
sation with the proprietor. He COM
mented on the attractiveness Of the
surroundings and finally asked the ho-
tel keeper how many acres there were
in the property.
"About forty" replied the proprietor.
81 see there is another resort short
distance north of you. Who owns
that?"
"The Widder Simmons"
'You and she join, do you not?'
The landlords sunburned face turned
a shade or two redder.

A StrotegiSf,

He was too old to jump on a moving
car with safety and was, handicapped
by q heavy bag of tools slung over his
shoulder. Half 4 dozen motormen had
disregarded his signals to stop and had
run their cars past the crossing at even
greater speed than that with which
they approached
The old laborer didn't grumble or
swear. He waited on one rail for the
next car. AS it drew near he signaled
the motorman to stop. The power was
increased to run by, as before, and the
old man turned as if to get out Of the
way. The heavy tools slipped from
his grasp and fell on the rail. The mo-
torman frantically shut of the power
and set his brake hard. The wheel
was within q yard Of the obstruction
when the car stopped. The old man
picked up his bundle and smiled broad
ly as he climbed on the front platform.
Think you're smart, don't you?" said
the motorman.
Much obliged" said the old man,
still grinning. you're the only accom-
modating motorman I've seen today

THE CANNlBAL TREE.
A Wonderful Plant Found In the
Forests of Australia.


Forests of Australia.
One Of the most wonderful forest
trees in the world is the "cannibaI
tree Of Australia, which grows up in
the shape of huge pineapple and sell
dom attains height Of more than
eleven feet. 1t has a series Of broad,
boardlike leaves, growing in fringe
at the apex, which reminds one of o
gigantic Central American agave.
When standing erect, these broad,
thick leaves hide curious looking ar
rangement which appears to perform
the same functions as those Of the
pistils in flowers. Naturally these
boardlike leaves, which are from ten
to twelve feet long in the smaller
specimens and from fifteen to twenty
in the larger, hang to the ground and
are strong enough to bear mans
weight.
In OLD aboriginal times in the anti
podean wilds the natives Worshiped
the cannibal tree under the name Of
the devil tree" the chief part Of the
ceremony consisting of driving one Of
their number up the leaves Of the tree
to the apex. The instant the victim
would touch the so called "pistils' Of
the monster the leaves would instantly
fly together like a trap, squeezing the
life out Of the intruder. Early travel
ers declared that the tree held its vic
tim until every particle Of flesh dis
appeared. On this account it is called
the "cannibal tree"

FACTS ABOUT FEET.

The typical Irish foot is fiat, rather
broad and not usually long.
The Frenchman's foot is proTerbially
long, narrow and well proportioned.
The Scotchman's foot is high and
thick, strong, muscular and capable Of
hard work.
The Tartar's foot is short and heavy,
the foot Of a certain tyre Of savage,
and the tees are all the sa'ae length.
The Englishman's foot is In most
cases short and rather feshy and not
as a rule as strong as prorortionately it
should be.
The Russians foot possesses at least
one popularity which is worth MOTTO
ing. The toes are generally "webbed'
to the first joint.
The Spaniard's foot is generally
small and, thanks to the Moorish blood
which flows in the veins Of most Span
iards, elegantly curved.
The latest measurements seem to
show that America is in the process Of
developing q race with the smallest
feet among all the civilized nations.
The Teutonic and Scandinavian na-
tions appear to have the largest feet,
Swedes, Norwegians and Germans
standing in this respect at the head OF
the list.
The Arabs foot is famous for its
high arch, whereby q true Arab may,
indeed, always be known, the Koran
saying that q stream Of water can run
under the foot without touching it.

The Thoughtful Stork.

On a tree close to house within a
short distance to the river or canal
there was a storks' nest with young
ones. The roof Of the house caught
fire one day, and, though the flames
did not actually reach the tree, the
beat became scorching. So the mother
stork flew down to the water, got into
it and drenched her breast; then, re-
turning to her young, she spread the
mass Of cool, wet feathers all over
them. This she repeated over and over
again, flying to the river, going down
into the water and returning, her plum
age drenched with wet And thus
the nest was saved, and the tender
nestlings were preserved alive until the
fire had been got under control and all
was safe. The truth Of this remarka-
Bile story was 7ouched for by more
than one eyewitness.

Donald seemed rather discouraged

''lt must be something else" said he.
"You have a feeling that alrs not
right here" said I. 'Is tlaat why you
came home so suddenly"
Yes, sir" he replied, and then, with
hesitation: DO you believe there's
anything queer about me? I've al
ways had an impression that you
thought I wasn't quite quite right.
There have been some stories about
me-"
Both your parents" said I, "pos-
sessed a power which I once thought
myself competent to define and ex-
plain, but have grown more modest"
"Once possessed it," he echoed, with
what I might call joyful animation.
''Then it's something q person can get
rid of, outgrow? You don't always
have to have it,"
81 think you know more about the
subject than l do," was my answer,
"and if you don't now you will some
day"
''I'd like to have you tell me about
my father and mother and the things
that they did," said he, ''but mustn't
ask you, because I tried to get it out
Of them long ago, and they didn't want
me to know"
I applauded this view, and so we
spoke Of other subjects as we walked
home together.

ITO BE CONTINUED
HUMOR IN HORSES.
Story Of an Animal That Has More
Than It's Share.

Story Of an Animal That Has More
Than It's Share.
Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have sense
of humor. Jimmy is lively road
horse who has ideas of his own and
very original conceptions of what is
amusing. One day the children had
erected a small tent on the lawn and
sat within it drinking lemonade and
playing that they were banditti. jim
my walked softly up to the side Of the
tent and slowly inserted his nose
through q convenient slit, says Our
Dumb Animals. Eyes and ears fol-
lowed and, his head once within at the
back of the unsuspicious revelcTs, jim
my gave one tremendous sneeze of that
kind which is half snort.
The banditti fell back in every direc-
ton, and the horse, withdrawing from
the tent, laughed silently to himself be-
fore going back to his grass cropping.
Jimmy's favorite amusement is that OF
scattering a flock of sheep. When he IS
feeding with them in the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them, sending them scudding
over the hillside. Then he stands watch
ing them until they again settle to their
nibbling and after 4 short luncheon OF
his own repeats the pleasing diversion.
Although this horse is the gentlest crea-
ture in the world, it pleases him ex-
ceedingly to frighten any one who has
shown tinlidity in his presence.
Jimmy's two Glistresses harness him
without trouble or danger, but he de-
lights in alarming one girl cousin who
visits at the house. Sundry fdgetlngs
and nervous starts Of her own were
enough to show Jimmy Of what man
ner and temperament she was, and he
IS merciless in taking advantage OF
that knowledge If she enters the sta
bic where he stands accepting the har-
ness in the most docile manner, he
opens his mouth, showing a wicked
row of teeth, and makes feint Of snap
ping at her. She shrieks. his mistress
scolds and reasons with him, and jim
my apparently is then repcntant.

Long Distance Courtships.

Sketching one day in Burma, an
English artist noticed man a little
distance off glaring fercely straight
ahead at him at some object he could
not see from his position. The man
sat with the same fixed glare the whole
afternoon and was at it again next
morning. The artist had the curiosity
to ask an English visitor what it
meant. The reply was, "Oh, he is in
lovep' And it was explained that this
was their method Of courtship.
The object Of the mans attentive
gaze was a girl in q neighboring ba-
zaar. When young man falls in love,
he has to seat himself at a certain dis
tance from his adored one and wait
for her to do the rest. If she looks IN
his direction once or twice on the first
or second day, he is wildly encouraged
and if on the third day she mods TO
him and smiles it is time to so to the
parents with reference to the marriage
settlements.-London Tit-BitS.

The Wonderful Toad Bone.

hll early writers attribute wonderful
qualities to toads and frogs and the
various parts Of their bodies. PGny
believed, for instance, that if toad
was brought into the midst Of a mob
or other large and unruly concourse OF
people silence would instantly pre-
vail" A small bone found in the
right side Of toads 'of the proper age''
was also believed to have powers over
the various elements. "By throwing
this bone into a vessel Of boiling
water" says PIny, ut will Immediate
ly cool it, the water refusing to boil
again until the bone has been removed.
To find this bone, expose the dead toad
on an ant hill. When the facts have
eaten her all away except the bones,
take each bone separately and drop it
into boiling water. Thus may the
wondrous toad bone be discovered"

Strange Craft.

4 traveller says: The strangest craft
/ have ever seen were the balsas OF
Lake; Titicaca in Bolivia and Peru.
These balsas are made Of an aquatic
plant growing in the waters Of the
lake. The principle on which they are
constructed by the Aymaras Indians
proves their ingenuity. A bale Of hay
naturally floats in the water, and ac-
cording to the quantity Of dried grass
used in constructing the boat do they
control the displacement or carrying
capacity. These boats are likewise ut
ted with 4 mast and sail, and in some
instances carry from eight to ten per-
sons. The Indians travel long distances
over this vast inland lake, the surface
of which is on level with the summit
OF the Jungfrau Of the Swiss Alps"

TIC Elevated Railroad Han and the
Circcs Man Work Alike.
New York ticket sellers for the ele-
waited roads Go their work with a celer-
ity equaled only BY the lightning
change artist Of big circus. How do
they manage it? Peep into one Of the
little ticket Offices, and you will see
that the methods of the man inside
are identical with t>ose of the circus
man. There IS only one way Of selling
tickets rapidly, whether at an ~" sta
ton Or from The red wagon OF q circus.
When you hand in your money through
the little opening, your coin or green
back goes to the ticket sellers left,
and from that side comes the ticket,
which he tears off from the long strip
with his right hand. Almost simulta.
ncously the same hand shoves out your
change, for he has the exact change for
your coin or bill ready, counted out
and piled up. Close to his right hand,
just inside the little window, are lot
Of nicEels for changing dimes Next to
these are nickels and dimes arranged
with 20 cents in each pile, ready for
the man with quarter. Then there
are lot Of forty-fve cent piles and
others containing 95 cents, so he doesn't
need to stop to count out your change.
II you call fo: two tickets and hand in
dollar, the ticket seller takes nickel
from one Of the ninety-fye cent piles
and instantly has the change that you
require, and whenever there is lull in
the stream of ticket buyers the man
behind the window replenishes his
piles Of change, SO that he is seldom
caught without just the amount you
need already counted out for you
