The Rishop and the Bum.

Sir Robert Anderson, veteran OF
the Scotland Yard detective force, OF
London, England, maintains that
buns and criminals often spring from
blameless families, that they may be
reclaimed, and that the offspring OF
criminal families may be developed
Into responsibility if caught young.
Max Nordau maintains the reverse
on each of these three points. He
insists on the literal truth Of the
proverb: Like father, like son"
Nordau also claims that the sins of
the fathers are written on the faces
of their sons.
Recently Anderson and Nordau got
into an argument on the subject in
London and Anderson produced two
photographs, one of bishop, and the
other of a burglar, and challenged
Nordau to point out the criminal.
After some consideration Nordau de-
clined to make the attempt.

Saved by His Courage.

The latest tiger story comes from
Mulanoor, India.
One evening a planters wife sent
her nurse and baby out for a walk,
accompanied by a native and a dog.
During the walk the dog ran into the
jungle, terrified yelp being heard
shortly after he had disappeared.
In a moment the native had plung-
ed into the Jungle, and, according to
his own story, found tiger with the
dog in his mouth.
With fearless courage he seized the
dog away from it's captor. The tiger
snarled like an angry cat, and strik-
ing the Indian with his paw, knocked
him down.
All the time the Indian had given
no signs of fear, and the tiger, with
out attacking him further, ran away.
Finally the dog was carried back to
its mistress badly mauled, but alive.

and, until his recent death, for one
Solomon F1agg, who attributed his
fourscore healthy years to the fact
that he had always used tobacco and
liquor-if the liquor was good.
Flagg was town clerk, historian
and the traditional wit of town meet
ing. At one of these March gather.
ings the management of the poor
farm was under criticism, and some
one had made bold to defend the
superintendent, Robinson by name,
who was charged with being intoler-
ably lazy.
F1agg listened intently, then clear
ed his throat and thus addressed the
chair: "Mr. Moderator-Our friend
who has taken his seat is an eloquent
gent, and there may be some truth in
his remarks. But, Mr.. Moderator, in
my opinion, pair of paper taps on

seat of his trousers"
And Solomon F1agg carried the day.

PEorLE VINO ENJOY NlsERv-

Strange AfHiction That Some unfor-

How can anybody enjoy being mis-
cradle?
Men do and so do women They
surround themselves with an atmos-
phere of gloom. They hug trouble to
their breasts They make mountains
out of mole-hills, and there are tears
and groans when there should be
smiles.
Perhaps you have cynic in your
employ. You can pick him out with
your eyes shut. He has the blues
from Monday morning till Saturday
night He will tell you that he
always gets the worst of it from
everybody; that his talent isn't recog-
nized; that his genius is wasted; that
he isn't getting enough money; that
there is no future for him-and- lot
of tommyrot like that.
After that comes the brooding
stage. Any man who broods over
real or fancied wrongs is dangerous.
He is not sane, and he is also a
mighty poor workman, whether he is
making hoe handles or counting
money in a bank. He deliberately
destroys his own efficiency and
chance for success, and all for the
perilous and questionable happiness
of being NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Press.

In the sixty diminutive rooms OF
the hotel 125 persons were crowded
when the flames broke out. Only
fourteen of them were residents OF
Chicago. The others were stockmen
and farmers attracted here by the
live stock show or railway mail clerks
and travelling men who could not Sc
cure accommodations at other hotels
All the space possible was utilized.
Even the hallway closets contained
cots on which men were asleep,
though there was not enough room in
these improvised bedrooms for
chair in addition to the cot In one
room on the top floor the window of
which opened to the only fire escape
on the building, was a bed and cot,
all effective barrier, in the darkness
and smoke, to this means of escape.
With almost the first burst of flame
the fuses on the electric switch boards
burned out, stopping the elevators
and leaving the building in total dark
ness.
Before the fire department could ar
rive, in response to the alarm we're

of the building. Faces, white with ter

of the adjoining buildings.
The cries of the men imprisoned
on the top floors could be heard above
| the clatter of the fire engines and the
roar of the flames. The proprietor of
the hotel asserts that he started to
mount to the endangered men and
lead them to the windows where
they could safely reach the roofs on
either side of the hotel, but that he
was stopped by the fremen. At that
time, he declares, all could have been
saved if some one familiar with the
upper floor had been allowed to show
them the way to the windows. The
firemen contradict this, and say 60
one could have reached the fourth
floor through the rapidly increasing
volumes of smoke. When fire-insur-
ance patrol, No. 6, arrived, it's mem
bers started up the stairs from the
office to the third floor to rescue the
men, whose cries were rapidly becom-
ing weaker, but their captain refused
to permit them to face almost certain
lsuffocation, and ordered them to re-
turn.
The escapes of some of the occu-
pants of the rooms were little short
of miraculous. Six men, woman
and little boy, saved themselves by
jumping to the roof of a restaurant

reach the top of the building. In a

they found Mrs. Nina Belder, her Ii
