He Was All Right.

About twenty years ago, when the
bridge across the Schuylkill at South
street was closed some weeks for re-
pairs, owners of rowboats reaped d
harvest ferrying passengers from one
side to the other. The nearest bridge
north was then the one at Chestnut
street; south, the Gray's Ferry span
The boat owners charged as much as
they pleased, often asking and getting
half-dollar from passengers unwill-
ing to make the long detour to 23d
street, the nearest highway east of the
Schuylkill then cut through from South
street to Chestnut. A Jerseyman, with
wife and child, was bent ON visiting
friend with a farm back of the Block
ley almshouse, and was asked at South
street $1.5O for ferriage. He refused
to pay it, and declared he'd wade
across-that the Schuylkill was mot
so Deep"
''Take Zeke's hand,'' he said to his
wife, land I'll take yours, and Wen
get across in no time'
They removed their shoes and start

He Knew.

The members of the Amish, a peculiar
religious sect, mostly agriculturists, are
very numerous in Lancaster County,
Pa. They have been credited with
small sense of humor, but this anec-
dote of a recent political campaign will
prove to the contrary. An orator
sought to impress gathering near
Paradise, in that county, with his logic.
bringing himself down to the level Of
his listeners by claim of rural birth.
why, l was raised between two
hills Of corn," he declared, land Gods
sunshine has ever shone upon me-"
For moment there was pause, and
the politician, fancying he had made an
impression, was about to continue his
harangue, when a big Amish man in
the rear of the hall interrupted:

Accident Gave 1t Origin.

Some things that fall under ones OBJ
servation every day and are regarded
as commonplace are really somewhat
extraordinary. Among these confetti
may be mentioned. The history Of con-
fetti is rather curious. About ten years
ago a large printing works in Paris was
turning out immense quantities Of cal
endars, through which a small round
hole had to be punched to receive an
eyelet for holding the sheets together.
A heap of the little circular scraps OF
paper cut out by the punch accumulat-
ed on a table and one Of the machine
men amused himself by scattering a
handful of them over a work-girls hair.
She Immediately snatched up a handful
and threw them in his face. Other
girls followed her example and the first
confetti battle began.
The head of the establishment came
in when it was at its height, and, being
what the Americans call a smart
man." he at once realized that there
was money in it." He ordered special
machinery, placed large quantities of
the new article on the market, made a
fortune and created a new industry.
Paris now supplies nearly every part Of
the civilized world with confetti, and
single orders for fifty tons are not un-
common.

Autos in Sahara.

Just as the locomotive has taken all
the poetry out of ordinary land jour-
neying, so now the automobile is trying
to usurp the place of the romantic
ship of the desert" The French gov
ernment is experimenting with gasoline
autos in the Sahara, for carrying the
mails and supplies between the differ
ent GASES, ct cetera.
A camel will go several days without
water. but should have it every day.
About 100 miles is his radius of ac-
tion," as they say of a warship. But
a gasoline auto can go 500 miles with
out a renewal of supplies. The desert
makes good automobile travelling and
20 miles an hour is accomplished. The
Sahara has never been fully explored,
and France hopes to yet make good
deal of this forsaken region.

COW GIRLS OF OREGON.

They Rope Steers, Brand Calves and
Conquer the Widest Horses.
Eight girls do almost all the work of
big cattle ranch in Oregon. No cow
boys are more skillful at roping a steer
or branding a calf than are these en-
terprising daughters of William Walk
er, whose home is in the picturesque
and rugged section at the headwaters
Of John Day River. These Walker
girls are noted as daredevil riders,
who can conquer the widest horses.
The horse was one Of the first sights
that caused their baby eyes to kindle
with excitement, and they have been
practically raised in the saddle.
Their costumes are picturesque and
practical, mostly of duck and buck
skin, with plain calico skirts. Their
canvas coats are more often tied to the
back Of the saddle than worn. They
ride -astride, as every one has to do in
that rough region. The country is not
