HoM He Saved Himself.

A prominent clergyman used to tell
of one Of his parishioners who had
been very sick: A physician had given
him some medicine and told him be
could go out, but under no circum'
stances was he to get wet. The man
went out on the farm and q shower OF
rain came up suddenly. There was no
shelter near, and to save himself he
crawled into a hollow log. The action
of the rain caused the log to shrink so
as to endanger his life.
He could not move, and being
brought face to face with death the
whole of his past life came before him
as in panorama. He remembered the
days of his childhood, his entrance
upon life, his successes and his sins,
then he remembered, last Of all, that
when he left home that morning he re-
fused his wife, when she asked him for
fifty cents for the church, and the
thought made him feel so small that he
had no difficulty in getting out of the

Gas as Fuel.

The use of gas as fuel and source
of power has made wonderful strides
during the past decade, and present in
dications point to a still more marked
advancement in the methods of pro-
duction and systems of lighting, heat
ing and power supply, says Mines and
Minerals. The systems of incandes-
cent gas lighting, SO prevalent and
popular at the present time, depend
for their efficiency wholly upon the
heating power Of gas, rather than on
it's luminosity. Water gas or pro-
ducer gas will undoubtedly be the fu-
ture heating and lighting agencies, and
along the lines of their production will
be directed most of the forces Of in
vestigation and improvement. The
future trend of gas production will
probably be in favor of generator
rather than retort gases, which ought
to result in purer gases, i. e., gases OF
a fairly constant chemical composition.

Snaohetti as a Weapon.

Judge A. M. Aucoin of the Second
CITY Criminal Court was confronted
with a delicate and puzzling question
in the case of Frank KLEIN, a German
merchant.
Is sphaghetti dangerous weapon?
That was the question. Mrs. kleter
charged that the merchant assaulted
her with q bunch of spaghetti, and
the corpus de licti was clearly proven.
Judge Aucoin, for the benefit and guild
ance of jurists throughout the land'
held that spaghetti was not danger
Gus weapon, but that despite this TACT
an assault with spaghetti could be
made. and the person so offending was
amenable to the law the same as II
tho weapon used had been bludgeon
of meat ak.
The testimony showed that Mrs.
Kiefer sent to Klem's place for five
cents worth of spaghetti; that when
she received it she considered 1t
snoiled and. sent it back, and instead
Of getting her money refunded she
saws abuses were heaped upon her
through her messenger Then the
lady called on the grocer in person.
The merchant, it is alleged, at some
point during the Babylonic colloquy
threw the spaghetti in the ladys face
and threatened to throw a weight at
her :.
The Court thought this fact was
clearly established. "Spaghetti is not
q dangeraus weapon" said the Court,
"but the defendant is guilty of the
assault and will be held for sentence.

MOOSE AND LOCOMOTIVES.
Tho Usual Result Of Their Coming To.
Gether.


The spunky and stubburn bull moose
has again been defying the locomotive
in Maine, with the usual disastrous
results-to the moose. This time a
whole moose family was wiped out
in about ten seconds, making great
waste Of big game and lot Of work
for the section men.
It was on Tuesday last that the
engineer of a freight train on the
Bangor and Aroostook road, as his
locomotive rounded sharp curve on
Z down grade. saw on the track
few rods ahead three moose-a big
bull, a cow and a calf. He sounded
the whistle expecting to see the whole
family make a break for the woods,
but they stood their ground. and the
bull, with snort Of defiance, braced
himself for the combat, swinging his
great antlered head as though he ex-
pected to toss the locomotive sky
high.
The shrek of the whistle sent men
scurrying over the tops Of the cars.
setting brakes, while the engineer had
the brakes on locomotive and tender
clamped up so tightly that the wheels
were sliding and smoking over the
rails. The speed Of the train and its
momentum were too great, however,
to be overcome in the short distance,
and down swept the fast freight upon
the heroic moose family. There was
a crash and a crunching under the
wheels, while blood spattered over
the boiler head, and fragments OF
moose went whirling through the air.
When, a few rods further on, the
train was brought to a stop, it was
found that all three Of the moose had
been killed, the carcasses OF the cow
and the calf being thrown some dis
tance from the track, while the car
cass Of the bull had been ground
under the wheels. At the next station
the section boss was informed. and
a crew was sent back to bury the
moose family. The men said that the
bull was a monster-one Of the largest
ever seen along the line Of the Aroo-
stock road.
A few days ago train on the Inter-
colonial railway ran race with n
big moose which was promenading
the track near Dalhousie Junction.
The moose ran for half mile or more
at surprising speed, and ti:en. finding
that the footing was bad ON the ties,
left the track and ran along in the
ditch. Here the animal tried to jump
high wire fence. but stuck half way
over and hung there while the train
came up. One of. the passengers says
that the moose looked puzzled and
ashamed when the train passed him.

c,vo Rf C CAUGHT in a Trap.

News has reached Professor ]. G.
Merriman, head of the archaeological
department of the University OF Call
fornia, that a cavern has been explored
near Baird, says a San Francisco
special in the New York Herald. MIR.
Sinclair, the geologist, who has con-
tinued the work in the cavern made
famous by the discovery of the ursus
suelaeus. or cave bear, reports the dis
covery of a branch cave replete with
fossil material.
Upon entering the newly opened
cave he found the surface of the cav
ern floor Uttered with the bones of the
giant cave bear, just as they had lain
there for thousands Of years, since
the egress of their lair was filled up
and they were trapped by the slipping
of the earth.
The bones found in the main cavern
were buried deep in silt, and 1t was
questioned whether or not the oTlgl-
nal animals had lived in the cave or
their bones had been washed in by
subterranean waters. The discovery
of Mr.. Sinclair proves concluslVely
that. an ancient den of the monsters
has been uncovered.

hours enjoyed many battles with birds
owned by neighbors. He came home

joyed chicken dinner prepared by
his wife that he thought was the best
meal he had eaten for many days
''Nice chicken" he remarked. Eyes, :

Ken0sha Man Purchases Streeter
Property in the District of
Lake Michigan.
BUYS MORE THAN TWO ACRES.
waiter Marshall Cowel', cf This City,
the Fight For the Strseter Claim.

Walter M. Cowel1 has decided to be-
come soldier and in the future he
will be found fighting in the army Of
General George Wellington Streeter,
of Chicago, in his effort to secure the
Chicago lake front, which he has
dubbed the District of Lake Michigan.
The Kenosha man enlisted Wednes-
Lansing, (bachelor), eighteen lots in
the Streeter district, almost opposite
the residence of Potter Palmer, on the
famous lake front drive, and Cowel1 is
now threatening to go to Chicago and
join the army of Streeter squatters
who are now seeking to make good
their title to the land valued at mil
lions of dollars.
The Streeter fight has always APP
pealed to Mr.. Cowe1l and for several
years he has desired to control some of
the property claimed by the fighting
captain. When he was in Chicago
"Wednesday he heard that Lansing
held two acres of the property and on
account of his holdings feared that he
would be prosecuted as an accomp1ice
to the murders recently committed IN
the district. Cowe1l nursed the feeling
in the breast of Lansing and when the
interview ended Cowe11 had deed to
the land in the District of Lake Michi-
gan, and Lansing had deed to some
property formerly owned by Cowe11 in
Kentucky or some other State. Mr..
Cowell will probably also receive
shoulder straps in the Streeter army
for his abilities as fighter in land
grab schemes are too well known for
him TO be overlooked when Captain
! Streeter makes out his list of commits
stoned officers before another battle.
The Streeter business will not be a
new work for the Kenosha man, as for
many years he has been trying to
make good his claim to certain prop
erty in Jacksonville, Florida, which is
claimed on title very similar to the
one held by General Streeter.
Mr.. Cowen seems to have great
faith in his purchase and believes that
ultimately every acre of ground in the
territory of Lake Michigan will be
awarded to the owners who have pur-
chased it from Streeter.

WILL SUE TAPFERWEIN.
Chicago Man. Alleged to Have Been Elected.
Will Sue Kenosha Hotel Keeper.

Seymour Swartz, of Chicago, Presi.
| dent Of the American Iron and Metal
company, has retained Cooper, Sim
mons, Nelson & Walker, the well
known Racine attorneys, and has an
nounced his intention of bringing an
action for damages against William
Tapferwein, of this city, for alleged
ejectment from the Hotel Kenosha
Thursday evening. Swartz is Jew
and IN his story of the occurrence he
claims that he was thrown from the
hotel on account of this fact.
Friday Swartz returned to Kenosha
and had Mr.. Tapterwein arrested on a
charge of assault and battery and the
latter went into court without an at
tcrney to represent him and was fined
on the charge.
In speaking of the matter Friday
evening Mr.. Tapferwein stated that
s5wartz had absolutely no grounds for
the suit. He stated that Swartz had
been stopping at the hotel for day
and half and that nothing had been
said IN regard to his nationality until
Thursday evening, when Swartz saw a
couple of ladies in the hotel. He went
20 the proprietor and asked him to tell
him who the ladies were. Mr.. Tapfer-
vein declined, stating that if he knew
the ladies he could go and converse
with them. Swartz then became abtfs-
i've and stated that he would pay his
bill and leave. Mr.. Tapferwein :.sti-
mated that he would be pleased to re
ceive the amount and Swartz at once
paid. AS soon as he had left the hotel
he managed to secure the assistance of
friend and the two at once went to
Racine and employed lawyer.
Swartz claimed that he was thrown
out of the house and that the hotel
proprietor assaulted him in violent
manner. This is denied by several
witnesses who were in the hotel at the
time of the departure of Swartz. and
one of them stated Friday night that
Mr.. Tapferwein did not assault Swartz,
but that the language the Chicago
man used was sufficient to provoke an
assault, and that the hotel man would
have been perfectly justified in throw
ing the Chicagoan out bag and bag
gage.
Mr.. Tapferwein will appeal the case
AID will refuse to pay any fine until
the matter has been decided in higher
court. He claims that he will be able
to show that the action of Swartz fully
warranted his ordering him to leave
the hotel.

Famous Irish Bulls.

Sir Boyle Roche, called ''the father
Of Irish bulls" once said in a speech
in parliament: "Why should we put
ourselves out of our way to do any
thing for posterity; for what has pos
terity done for us?"
Sir Boyle once declared himself
ready to give up mot only a part, but,
if necessary, even the whole of
our constitution to preserve the re-
mairder.
Deprecating a charge of inequality in
the commercial relations between
Great Britain and Ireland, he observed
that "he is an enemy to both kingdoms
who wishes to diminish the brotherly
affection of the two sister countries"
In deprecating the excuses of the
French revolution he conjured up a
grewsome picture Of the unbridled fury
of the mob. Here, perhaps, sir, the
murderous men would break in, cut us
to mincemeat and throw our bleeding
heads on that table to stare us in the
face"
Sir B0yle's infelicitous mode of con-
veying an invitation to a noble lord
to partake of his hospitality is among
the best known of his blunders: II
hope, my lord, If you ever come within
mile Of my house that you'll stay
there over night"
