philosophical, His legs were graceful

Occasionally Jimmy referred to a

royal parsonage had been afflicted. At
these times Jimmy's face became suf-
fused with a smile of elfsh roguish-

up his hat.

Greatest of Savings Banks.

England's remarkable system Of
postoff1ce savings banks, started sew
eral years ago, have been brought into
notice of late on account Of the trans
ference Of the prodigious clerical force

concerns 5000 clerks, the thousands of
ledgers in which are kept the accounts
Of the banks 100000 depositors and
the innumerable documents relating
thereto.
What. has been brought out most sig
nificantly in consequence Of the atten-
ton which the biggest savings bank
In the world" has been receiving Of
late Is the remarkable growth Of this
unique institution. The number Of de-
posits annually has jumped from g.
OOo,O 900 to $4,000, 900, the number Of de-
positors from 100000 to 100000. In
other words, on every business day Of
the year 10000 persons make deposits
through 14,e00 government sub-sta-

"cALAMiTY JANE" FEARED NO
MAN.
Held Her Down In the Widest Life
Of the West.

In the death Of Calamity Jane"
In Terry, s. b., there has passed one
Of the most picturesque and daring
characters that ever roamed the West
ern plains. The whole story Of this
strange woman never has been told,
| and now that she Is dead the curtain
Of mystery will probably never be
lifted from certain chapters Of her
checkered life.
Mrs. Jane Burk {"Calamity Jane'')
was born in Princeton, Mo-, in 1852,
and when quite young went with her
father to the gold fields Of Montana,
where she became Injured to the
roughest kind of life. Riding the wild
est Of horses and challenging dangers
of the most desperate kind seemed to
be second nature with her. In her
dashes over the plains she wore the
buckskin clothing of a man, with re-
volvers and cartridges at her belt, and
in a few years seemed to forget en-
tirely that she was born woman.
She was fearless, asked odds Of no
man, white or Indian, and took care OF
herself in every emergency.
When General Crook was engaged
IN the Indian campaign she served as
scout and rendered effective SER
vice, making long, arduous journeys
and braving perils that would frighten
q majority Of men to these peaceful
times.
Calamity Jane" was Llarried three
times, her last husbsnd being much
younger than she. She was reported
in dire need in Pierre, S. D., about a
year ago. and Mrs. Josephine Brock,
Of Buffalo, N. Y, who had become
deeply interested In her, raised
fund to provide her against want.
Civilized life did not agree with the
woman, however. and she soon
dropped out Of sight and nothing had
-been heard Of her until the announce
ment of her death.
During a fierce campaign against
the Indisns in 1872 Mrs. Burk saved
the life Of Captain Egan and carried
him from the battlefield. It was he
Who cristened her Calamity Jane, the
Heroine Of the Plains"
: Mrs. Burk participated in all the
fights and accompanied General Crook
and his command to the Black Hills
In 1875. She made herself famous in

derer Of wild Bill" or William Hick-
ok. At her request she was buried by
the side of wild Bill"
Z Trouble with the Indians having
ended, Calamity Jane" turned miner
and became one of the typical kind
the kind described in thousand ac-
counts of her barroom battles, wild
riding after robbers and grim lynch
ing. She made money and spent it in
drinking and gambling. s..

failing health few years ago, and
her money ell gone. She would have

generosity of Mrs. Brock had not pro-
Svided her with a home.-New York

Bear.Ki,Iina Without a Gun.

An old hunter told me this story,
which 1 will tel' In my own Words:
did you ever hear of the time
licked a bear without my gun? No!
Well, I'll tell it to you. About sun
down, one pleasant afternoon, l was
roaming through the woods with 10
weapon of defense, when. to my hor-
ror, I saw a wounded bear running TO-
ward me with open mouth and foam-
ing jaws! l hadn't the least idea what
to do, so l did nothing; I stood still,
scared to death AS the bear spraag
upon me l instinctively put out lny
arm to protect myself, and my hand
went into his mouth! Then a happy
thought seized me! I thrust my hand
in farther, grabbed hold OF his tai,
gave him a pull inside out, and he ran
away from me back into the Woods!"

Tricks in the West.

One Is totally unable to conceive
how it Is that the greenhorns con
tinue to give up their money every
day to nothing better than the lock
trick or the freight receipt gag. 1t
Is not merely that these bunko devices
are hoary with age and should seem
ingly be. as familiar as common
speech, but that they had no merit
when they were new. Even granting
that the victim never heard of them
before, why should he be deceived?
Why should he bet that he can open
a lock? Why should he lend money
on check or bill Of lading when pre-
sented by man he never saw before?
Why should any human being get upon
terms of such confidence WITH strang-
ers whom he has picked up ON the
streets or In the saloons? The infln-
ite and perpetual gullibility of man
is the greatest wonder of the world

to be kept, and in less than twenty
four hours his approach toward any
