EXPERIENCE OF ONE WITH COW AND

In Ithaca. the seat of Cornell University. the
memory of a certain member of the faculty is
kept green from year 10 year by this story of his
habit of intense preoccupation and what came
of II:
One day he was walking a beautiful campus
path deeply absorbed in pamphlet on a mathe-
matical subject which had just been received He
bumped into something. and without looking up
raised his hat and said 81 humbly beg your par

There was response. and he raised his eyes
to the campus cow
The next day; another pamphlet-even more pre-
occupaton-a second collision.

The professor gazed into the angry eyes or the
wife of a colleague and faculty enemy.
But that old professor is not the only absent
minded man in the Cornell faculty. said the officer
of the college who told the story at the Cornell
Club the other night. There is another. He
wanted to demonstrate to of his classes how

about Ithaca by dropping stone and timing its
students and selected stone. Standing on the
edge of the bridge. he was ready for the expert
ment. Then what did he do but drop the watch
and hold TO the stone. Nor did he notice his
mistake until the watch splashed into the water.

HE DISTRIBUTED CHICKENS.
THE DENTIST RAISED THEM WITH GREAT
CARE, BUT COULD NOT KEEP THEM.

CARE BIT COULD NOT THEM.
It is rumored in Washington that the scarcity
of hens teeth has become the subject of scientific
inyestiga ton. This is not due. as might at hrst
be supposed. the eternal vigilance of the Smith
sonian Institution. but originates with an 1noe-
pendent member of the dental profession. His rep
ta ton for professional research extends wherever
wads of gold leaf toasted on the pnpoints OF
steel instruments and his personality Is familiar
to many people of fashion and station in the capt.
tai who are not exempt from the lesser human
fraities. Accordingly it caused some surprise when
the doctor converted his laboratory which adjoins
his operating room into well appointed hatchery
The incubator from time to time called him away
from patient.
Excuse me one moment he would say to the
defepceless person in the chair whose mouth would
be full of little na pkins at the time 'but forgot
to look at the thermometer. If the temperature
goes up too far 1 shall have no fresh eggs on my
farm this summer
and lately the doctors grumbling because
the floor of the laboratory was occupied with an
enormous ''brooder'' and the air filled with the
peep of fluffy little newcomers. The window must

quence. The light must be just So And if the
chickens needed food when human tooth was
only partly filled rlmor had it that laughing gas
was applied sumITarily to the patient, and the
youthful and noisy barnyard received commiserate
attention.
But the climax reached the other day, when
the doctor concluded that his thirty little birds
were old enough scratch for themselves. and
should be transferred to his farm. The doctor
carried them all his in a basket.
When he had travelled some distance the troll
ley car it occurred to the eminent scientist, who
had probably anticipated embarrassment.
that his chickens were almost unnaturally well
behaved. And he lifted the lid of the basket, like
the children who pull up the newly planted beans
to see how they're growing. But If the chickens
growing at all at that moment they were
growing cold, in spite Of the rather vouminous
wTappings the doctor had provided. In fact, the
entire brood very nearly suffocated. and the
face to face with the bitter diSappoint-
of wasting weeks of care and suffering a
poignant wound to his affections. So he lost no
time in pucking the chickens out of the basket
and handing them round among his astounded fel-
low passengers. And carful of people went skim
ming through Washington, each passenger
nursing poor. drabbled. sicky chick.

4 TERRIBLE WARNING.

take apaper, sent his little boy TO bor-
row the copy taken by his neighbor.
In his haste the boy ran over four
dollar stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like water summer squash. ="
His cries reached his father, who ran
to his assistance and, failing to see a
barb wire fence, ran into it, breaking 1t
down, cutting handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running a four dollar
pair of pants. The old COW took adyan
tage Of the gap in the fence, got into
the corn field and killed her self eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, his
wife ran, upsetting churn full of rich
cream into basket of kittens drowning
the whole flock. In her hurry, she
dropped set of seven dollar false
teeth. The baby left alone, craw led
through the spilled milk into the parlor
and ruined a twenty dollar carpet.

AN 0rEN CONFESSION.

Republican Congressman Grosvenor' 5
open confession in the House that the
time is coming in the near future when
there will be demand which cannot be
refused for changes of the tariff is due
TO his dismayed discovery that the
American people are waking fully to
the bunko nature of high protection.
General Grosvenor is at fault, however,
in claiming that the revision of the
tariff will be "along Republican lines. F"
The revision. if made by Republicans
will necessarily be along Democratic
lines, and it will be made because the
frightened Republican hlgh-taritiites
know that the American people will
empower the Democratic party to dc
the revising in the event OF Republican
stubbornness.

HOW IT FEELS TO DIE.


Probably no man ever lived who has
not at one time OF another asked him
self the question. How does it feel TO
die?"
In Minneapolis there lives a man who
has not only asked the question, but Is
ollie 10 answer it a. we'll. He has IN
reality died six times, yet Is alive and
in the best of health today. This man
whose experience battles comparison,
is William J. Rohr. Since he was a
boy going TO school he has travelled six
different routes trying to cross the
river Shyx, but each time as he ex
pressed it, ST Peter turned away and
announced false alarm. Rohr is con-
fident that the slender thread that
holds his life possesses marvellous
strength, for he passed through the
following ordeals, each of which
brought him near death:
Fell through hole in the ice while
skating on a mill pond; unconscious
when taken from the water.
Fell into the river while protecting a
bridge from an ice foe; unconscious
when taken from the water.
Smothered in an air tight trunk while
hiding in a game Of hide and seek.
unconscious when found.
Fell over a precipice in st Paul To
ground below. distance OF 100 feet
unconscious when picked up.
Stricken with consumption and given
up TO die, but refused TO allow the sphy-
sicans to have their way.
Attempted suicide by shooting him
self twice in the breast with revolver
unconscious when picked up, but not
dead.
