MUSTANG
IMMINENT.
EcpCnyy0,

The play had reached the climax OF
the third act. NIX tie audience in the
primitive opera house of the frontier
village sat brc%atlilessly awaiting the
outcome.
"Ah, ha-a! snarled the villain, push
Ing open the door of the dungeon
where the hero lay bound in chains.
"Ah, ha-a, Montgomery Murgatroyd,
you are in my power at last! Your
hour has comet"
The villain drew a long knife from
his belt and advanced upon his victim.
II will give you one minute to say
your prayers!'' he Missed savagely,
raising the knife above the head of the
helpless wretch.
At this moment Grizzly Hank, the
village desperate, rose in his seat.
"Paldner," he said, addressing the
villain, II reckon this is the place whar
l was to git up an offer to be Que Of
three men to take ye out an hang We,

Here he threw a FIVE dollar gold
piece on the stage.

Advice From sAdI.

OF the distinguished authors of Per
sia none perhaps has enjoyed a wider
popularity than Sadi, who lived In the
thirteenth century. He was a great
traveller and a close observer. and his
anecdotes and short stories are de
scribed as being founded on his own
experiences and observations. In PER.
sian Poetry For English Readers" Mr..
s. Robinson quotes the following from
Sadi's writings:
A pupil said to his instructor, "What
am ! to do, for people incommode me
with the frequency of their visits to
such Il degree that their conversation
produces a great distraction of my val
liable time?"
The teacher replied: ITO every one
who Is poor lend end from every one
who is rich borrow. They will not come
about you again"
Another example embodies excellent
advice: A silly fellow. having a pain In
his eyes, went to a farrier and asked
him for a remedy. The farrier applied
to his eyes something which he would
have given to an animal. and it blind.
ed him, upon which they made an APP
peal to the magistrate. The magistrate
said:
This is no case for damages. 1t Is
plain that this fellow Is an ass or he
would not have gone to a farrier."
No nan of enlightened understanding
will commit weighty matters to one of
mean abilities.

Her Blessing.


There Is always a possibility that the
person whom we regard as a proper
object for sympathy may look upon
himself in another light. This interest
ing and instructive surprise often
awaits the well meaning bearer Of con-
dolence.
When Mrs. Hastings learned that her
old friend, Mrs. Warren, had become
"stun deef," she went with a long face
to see her.
ut must be an awful cross, Laviny,"
she wrote on the slate which Mrs. War
rem presented to her as soon as she was
seated.
"'Tain't either!! snapped the af1ict-
ed one, who, though deaf, was by no
means dumb. Folks that have got
anything to say can write it on that
slate, and Henry Warren, that's had
to put a curb on his tongue for up
ward O. thirty years on account Of the
high temper he took from his mothers
folks, is now able to say anything he
likes and no feelings hurt. l count my
deafness a real blessing. How's your
rheumatism"

THE TARTAR CUE.
Said to BE Worn Out of Gratitude
to the Horse.

Said to BE Worn Out of Gratitude
to the Horse.
Herbert Allen Giles in China and
the Chinese says that there are
strange misconceptions as to the mean-
ing of the Chinese cue, which has
really bcen worn by that nation for
only about $50 years.
1t was imposed by the Mantchoo Tar
tars, the present rulers of China, as q
badge of conquest. Previous to 1914
The Chinese clothed themselves and
dressed their hair like the modern Jap
~anese-that is, like the japanese who
still wear what is incorrectly known
Us the beautiful native dress Of ia
pam" AS q matter of fact, the Japan
ese borrowed their dress as well as
their literature, philosophy and early
art from the Chinese. The Japanese
dress is that of the Ming period in
China, 1868 to 1914.
But where did the Mantchoo Tar
tars get the cue? They depended as a
race almost for their existence upon
the horse. The accepted theory is that
out Of gratitude and respect for his
noble ally the Tartar, SO far as he
could, took on himself the equine form
and grew a U i'll imitation Of a
horses tail. This somewhat grotesque
theory might fall to the ground save
that it is supported by striking evil
dence.
Official coats as seer in China at the
present day are made with peculiar
sleeves, shaped like a horses leg and
ending in an unmistakable hoof, ccv-
erlng the hand. which are known as
horseshoe sleeves" Incased therein
a Chinaman's arms look much like a
horses fore legs. The tail completes
the picture.

sand Dunes In Gascony.
One of the most interesting and re.
markable Of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne. in Gascony.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along n line Of 100 miles IL
length, some 5000. 900 cubic yards of
sand.
The prevailing westerly winds con-
tinue picking up the surface particles
from the westward slope, whirl them
owe to the inward slope, where they
are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this mean alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course Of years
there has thus been formed q complex
system of dunes, all approximately par
allel with the const, and with one an
other and Of all attitudes up to $50 feet.
These are marching steadily inward
at a rate of from three to six feet q
year, whole villages having sometimes
been torn down to prevent burial and
rebuilt at a distance.

The eggs of some common birds Of
the present day have been found.
There is the robin snipe; its eggs have
never been seen. An English zoologist
kept a man going up and down the
coast Of Labrador for weeks purposely
to get a robin snipe's egg, but it was in
vain. The bird is known by thousands
Of people, but it breeds SC far north
and SO remote from any civilization
that no scientific observer al ever get
to its nest ere the young are Matched
and have taken to wing. The frigate
bird that is so commonly seen at sea
on the Pacific and off the West Indies
Is such a solitary bird and is so seldom
seen in its nest during the hours of day
light that its egg is rare. It seems
strange, but the eggs Of so well known
q bird as the sandpiper have Y
been found and are almost priceless.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. 1t is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart. and in the course of time that
deHeate but vital organ becomes diseased.
