NOT AN ALARMING AFFAIR.
But 1t Was Very Annoying to the
Woman Who Had The Alarm
Clock on the Car.

4 woman boarded a well-flled Lex
ington avenue car the other day, with
out attracting any attention. Yet it
might have been predicted by the phil
Csopher that some thing out of the or
binary would happen to her, for she
walked down the car to vacant seat,
instead of expecting everybody to
move up for her, says the New York
Tribune. She carried a round paper
parcel. which she deposited in her lap.
Beside her. kneeling on the seat so
that his rubbers were soiling both her
gown and the dress of his mother, was
a small boy. After fidgeting about for
time, he finally gave his whole at
tenlion to the woman's parcel. He
eyed it for a few moments with his
mouth partly open, and then, in a
high treble, he announced: MA, that
lady's bundle ticl,sl"
abe quiet, Jack" said his mother,
twisting around sharply, so that his
rubbcrs deposited a frsh dab Of mud
on the womans skirt.
But the mischief was done All the
car had heard what he said. and 4
deathlike silence ensued. Everybody
was straining to hear the ticks. For
a moment nothing was audible. Then,
IS the ear became used to the hush.
a dull smothered, but fussy click,
clack. click. clack, could be distin-
guished, plainly coming from the par
eel.
The passengers smiled. The wom-
an turned a burning red, and Looked
straight before her. The small boy,
loudly. triumphantly cried: There,
ma. what did tell you"
Again the passengers smiled, and
were about to resume their va
rious conversations, when sudden
". as if in anger at the fuss
it was causing, the clock inside
the parcel burst into the most
astonishingly loud, prolonged and
metallic rattle of alarm. The paper
was pressed against the gong, so the
sound was now smothered, and now
full and clear, as the woman angrily
shook the bundle, and twisted it in
her lap. The passengers jumped, then
burst into a laugh. The small boy
crowed with delight. And the clock
kept up its song of protest.
"Must be one of the Commute kind"
some one said.
Apparently it was, for the unfortu-
nate owner undid the wrappers, dis
closing a gong that covered the entire
back Of the clock, and pushed down
some sort Of lever. The clock shut
up. Their she carefully wrapped It M

PASTOR AND FARMERS LAD.


One of the parish sent one morn
A farmer kind and able
A nice fat turkey, raised on corn,
TO grace the pastor table.
The farmers lad went with the fowl
And thus addressed the pastor:
"Blame me If amt tired! Here is
A gobbler from my master"
The pastor said: "Thou shouldst not thus
Present the fowl to me;
Come take my chair, and for me act.
And will act for thee"
The preachers chair received the boy,
The fowl the pastor took,
Went out with II, and then came In
With pleasant smile and look;
And TO his young pro tenn. he said:
Dear sir, my honored master
Presents this turkey, and his best
Respects to you, his pastor
Good" said the boy "Your master is
A gentleman and scholar!
My thanks to him, and for yourself.
Here is a half dollar"
The pastor felt around his mouth
A most peculiar twitching;
And to the gobbler holding fast.
He "bolted" for the kitchen.
He gave the turkey to the cook,
And came back in minute;
Then took the youngsters hand and left
A half dollar in 1t.

PARKS FOR THE p8pPLE.
The Turf Is Not So Much Hkrt by the
Feet as IL Is from Pill
Exhaustion.

The question Of removing 81 replac-
ing Keep off the grass" Signs in pub
lie parks has become one of lively in
terest in many cities because of re-
port that the turf in Central park,
New York, is in danger, on account
of the crowds not being kept to the
roads and paths, remarks the Cleye-
land Plain Dealer.
Comparison Of experiences leads to
the conclusion that it is not so much
the feet of the people straying over
the grass that has caused the mis-
chief as the misjudgment of the park
management The turf is perishing
because the soil is becoming exhaust
ed. Other parks have for years been
free to the people, who are allowed
to wander where they please and set
tie themselves down on the cool turf
in twos and .hTccz, and IN larger fam
lily groups. Park parties gather and
school picnics biyouac under the shade
of the trees. while the children romp
and scamper in the open spaces with
no keep off the grass" signs to scare
them to the roads made perilous by
swift automobiles or thronged with
carriages. In spite of all this the
grass in these parks fourishes, the
turf seeming to be the better instead
of the worse for this usage.
The parks are for the people. The
only way the masses Of the people
can enjoy themselves is by having
the freedom Of the grass. The ex-
perience Of other cities. as well as
that of Cleveland. is that under rea-
sonable regulations such use of the
parks is not injurious to the turf
provided care is taken to keep the
soil in condition to supply the grass

BEASTS SLAIN BY WHOLESALE
Arizona Ranchers Corral and Shoot
Hundreds of Departing
Wild Animals.

For several months past the noun
tain lions, bears and wolves that
abound in some parts of Arizona have
been playing sad havoc with the stock
on the ranch of Colin Campbell, in Co.
chise county, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. With 10000 cattle on the range,
the heavy losses in calves and yearl-
ings by the ravages of the wild anf
mails have cut down the dividends OF
the stock company which owns the
range.
Charley" Montgomery, famous all
over Arizona as a hunter and who was
chief of scouts under Gen. Crook dur
ing the trouble with the Apaches, was
engaged to eXterminate the animals
which have been raiding the herds.
Montgomery engaged 100 men of the
Pima tribe and held big roundup of
the "yarmints."
Early in the morning his Indians and
score of cowboys surrounded a dis
trict five miles square in the foothills
Of the Chiricahua range and gradually
closed in toward the center, with 200
dogs in the rodeo. As they reached
the center of the circle catamounts.
black bears, coyotes and an occasional
grizzly bear tried to break through the
line. but were met by a shower of bull
lets. Dozens of animals persisted in
the attempt to escape, but 200 others
were finally cOrnered in box canyon,
while redskins and cOwpunchers
picked them off from the rocks above.
There were scores of close conflicts
with the enraged and frightened
brutes and in one melee four Indians
were fearfully mangled by a grizzly
before their shots finally finished the
bear. One of the reds, Antonio Her
mo. a former chief of the tribe, re-
ceived fatal wounds from the claws Of
a big fellow. The dogs closed in on
the victims and dozens of them were
killed before the slaughter was com
plete. The fina! count showed 10 dead

Accounting for n Plague.

In the middle of the fourteenth
century the city of Paris passed an
ordinance enjoining the cleansing of
the streets and the shutting up of
swine. 1t was neglected, as usual,
and a terrible plague was the con-
sequence. The faculty Of medicine,
called upon for remedy by the
king, sent to inform him, after long
discussion, that the plague was the
result of hostile conjunction of the
planets Mars and Jupiter.-N. Y.

THOUGHTS bv Col. John McComb.

The joyous spirit of the Easter tide
is the theme today of a fitting poem
by Colonel John McComb. The col
one's pen illumines the theme with a
brightness that symbols the glory of
the great festival, and he happily
conveys the lessons that the day
teaches. The poem, with its brightly
painted pictures follows:
JOYOUS EASTER SUNDAY.
BY JOHN MCOMB.
On bright and glorious Easter there is tranquil

But believers in the Promise OF a lie beyond the

Have cheering thoughts while living and great
comfort when they die.
