USED HI
ROW a Forger Worked a Clever Ruse
on q Superior Saloonkeener.

SiScT WOFkSU a Viewer nuSS
on a Superior Saioonkeeper.
The Superior police are looking for
a clever forger that got in his work to
the extent of $3.50 on the Fourth, and
whose exploits have just been reported
TO the police. A check, purporting to
be signed by j.. b. Ennis, a saloon
keeper, was passed upon George Lar
son, another saloonkeeper, and the lat
ter is out $3.50.
It seems that some mar called Lar
son up, telling him it was Ennis talk
ing. He said that he needed some
money, and as it was the Fourth he
could not get into the bank. He asked
Larson IL he could cash his check.
Larson supposed it was Ennis and
when the nan appeared, saying he was
sent by Ennis, he took the check and
delivered the $3.50. When the check
went to the bank it was found that 1t
was drawn on an altogether different
bank than Ennis does business with,
and payment was refused. Investiga-
ton showed that it was a forgery. w.

Robert is a bright little chap OF five
years. I'VE are the best OF friends"
said a neighbor, "and he often runs
ia TO see me. He likes to have me
read to him, and is particularly fond
of Gelett Burgess rhymes. The other
day happened to run across this little
verse and took it to his home to read
to him:
"I'd rather have fingers than toes,
I'd rather have ears than a nose,
And as to my hair
I'm glad it's all there,
I'll be awfully sad when it goes,
Il read no further than the second
line-T'd rather have ears than a nose.
when Robert burst out with

ears than a nose
Wondering what possible reason
this small critic could possibly have
for di~sagreeing so emphatically with
his friend Mr.. Burgess, / ventured to
ask:
why is 1t, Robert, that you
wouldn't rather have ears than q
nose?'

How Africans Bear Pain.

A writer in Central Africa gives
these Illustrations of the fact that the
black man is much less susceptible
to physical suffering than his white
brother. A Makua whose foot had
been amputated was found the day af-
ter the operation out of bed on the
hospital floor, using the stump for
progression. A Yao who had had
three fingers removed stole away the
next morning to go on a machila jour
ney of some weeks, using the dam
aged hand freely. So, too, the expedi-
tions of 1895 against the slave-deal-
ers brought to light many instances
of this callousness. Shells fired into
a stockade unfortunately do not dis
criminate between men, women and
children. They wound all alike. At
Mlozis women mortally wounded
were to be seen going about picking
up firewood, drawing water and at
tending to their physical wants, wom-
en- who the next day were dead. A
little girl whose leg was amputated
made her way to pool where she
sat with the stump dangling in the
water, which she was splashing over
it with her hands, singing all the time
