MADNESS IN THE SToKEHoLE.
Firemen on the Ocean Liners Are
subject TO Species of Mel
nnchOIy Madness.

speaking of madness, that is one
of the things we always expect from
the stokehole," says writer in the
Detroit Free Press. Might is the time
when such troubles break loose. The
men lie awake and brood and think
while the tossing of the ship makes
them still more uneasy and the pros
pect of the next watch in a tempera-
ture of 14O degrees takes the heart
out of them. Then il is that the poor
chaps go out of their minds. They
rush on deck and instinctively seek
relief from the pent-up heat in their
shattered bodies by plunging over
board.
might, also, is the time when the
fights among the crew occur. The men
know that it means irons if caught
at the game, so they choose the dark
est time of the night.
But such things must be kept from
the ocean traveller who expects in
these days not only a quick trip with
all the hotel comforts thrown in but
also to be spared annoyances of even
the most trivial kind. But if you
pounded this bridge during the early
morning hours for only six months,
you could write a book about the things
that happened aboard an ocean grey
hound at night with never an eyelash
of a passenger disturbed by the
| trouble"

SPANKED THE WRONG BOY.
of Pants That Were Not Worn
by Willie.

A Detroit man was travelling with his
son, and wishing to transact some
business with the conductor, he said:
"Now, Willie, Pm going to be away
Just few minutes. You sit right here,
and don't move a bit. If you do, I'll
spank you good and hard. So don't
stick your head out of the window
You might have it taken off, if you do;
then you wouldn't have any head, and
you'd get a spanking besides"
The father went away to find the
conductor. After a few minutes he
came back, relates the Galveston Daily
News.
There was little Willie, just his feet
and the seat of his trousers sticking in
through the window. He appeared to
be more outside than inside, and
whenever a telegraph pole whizzed by
and looked especially close, he would
make a lunge for it, as if trying to
catch It.
The father did not hesitate. He
made grab for the boy just as the
latter made lunge for pole. He
pulled him in by the heels, laid him
over his knees, and began to fulfil his
promise. The little fellow yelled and
yelled until he almost drowned out the
noise of the train, but during lull in
the uproar the father heard a snicker
behind him. He laid the boy down and
turned to see what II meant.
There, two seats behind and across
the aisle, was his son, with two fingers
stuffed in his mouth TO keep his merri-
ment in. The man rubbed his eyes,
and hooked again, but there was no
mistake.
He looked at the boy in his lap. Be
hind the tears was face he had never
seen before. He had spanked some
other mans son.

While there are doubtless many
good traits about the Mohammedans,
and, as the old lady said about Chris
tianity, their religion would be good
think if it were lived up to, it is
difficult to reconcile the facts. For
example, the Koran and the teachings
of the prophets enjoin personal
cleanliness as necessary to salvation.
The Moslems always battle before
they pray. They would not dare en-
ter the house of prayer with unclean
hands or feet or faces. Hence when
the muezzin's call is heard from the
minaret, five times a day, faithful
Moslems go first to the fountains
that are found outside of every
mosque and battle themselves. There
are innumerable lighthouses also in
which genuine Turkish baths and
massage are given. At the same time
their houses are positively filthy, too
filthy, as a rule, for human beings to
occupy, and the streets of Constan-
tinople and every other Turkish town
are indescribable in their nastiness
The clothing they wear is as dirty
as their bodies are clean, and their
food is often unfit for sanitary rea.

When the company was stationed
at Chattanooga during the Spanish

drilled company of all the 10000
troops in camp. Since then the com
pany has taken up the drills of other
nations, both ancient and modern,
and has become marvelously expert.
All the various drills of the company
are held in the uniforms of the sol

are supposed to represent, and to
make these costumes historically cor

DOCTOR SMITH, CRATER
The Street Fakn Who Stayed Here
Some Weeks Sold Out at a Good
Price and Left Town.

Street grafters do not have to be
crooked, but.most of them are. The
REGISTER has hinted as much before,
and here is another example.
For some weeks long, husky, WISE
looking man who passed under the
name OF Doctor Smith has been maxi
ing lola headquarters. He had wa
gon from which every few evenings he
lectured and sold soap and other won
derful things to those who desired to
buy. He did a fairly good business
but his song got old, his wares were
stale and ne decided to move on.
Smith heard of a colored man over
In Cementville who had some money.
He went to find the fellow, to whom he
represented that his stuff was worth
Eve or six hundred dollars. In order
to get away he would close it out for
5000. The colored man wanted to see
the goods, so the two started to town
TO 10 ok them over. On the way they
met another man who stopped Smith
buu JOIu nln Judb ne ndu ehdInlneu Jut
wares and would not give the 5000
asked him but would give $3.50. Smith
was sorry but he had just promised to
let this colored,man have the stuff for
$500. 1t was hard luck to lose fifty
but being so Internally honest Smith
would have to sell TO the colored man
il the latter insisted on it. The
colored man bit, snatched at the un.
seen goods, paid the 5000 and fell
glad.
Smith has gone. The man who want
cd the goods for $3.50 is gone. The
colored man would shave the price tC
him provided hel wants the goods
The stock may be worth fifty cents
Some people Ewouldn't give it for Tho
whole layout. The colored man is
loser 5000, because he doesn' t read the
REGISTER :and believe what it hal
said that fakirs are fakirs becaus,
they can make more money that wa.
than they can honestly.
Who'll be the next lucky gent?"

Trnin n Mile LnnR.

A train one mile in length sounds
like a record. But that is what was
recently hauled over the Thunder
Bay and Wabigoon section of the
Canadian Pacific railway. It com
prised 105 cars. Situate next to the
engine was a testing car. The train
was sent over the road to ascertain
exactly the tonnage that could be
handled on the various grades be-
tween the lake and leveler sections
of the prairie.

TRAINED STEERS AT DRILL.

take the double file" order when COM
manded to do so, and march by fours

al a command four fall to their knees,
while the other four march around
them. Mr.. Holder has made a set Of
stairs on which these intelligent ami
mails take positions in the form of a
pyramid Each one takes its place
without hesitation and remains in an
indicated position until the word is
given to come down.
Four of these steers are black and
four white. They are two-year-olds
and as handsome lot of cattle as can
be found. Mr., Holder says they have
not been more difficult to teach than
an equal number of men would have
been. He has trained them to work
in harness; and almost any day he can
be seen driving them along the streets
of the town, or into the country.
