And the Police Reporter Won Out.

casually of party of friends. The
query started a train Of thought in the
brains OF each scribe, and all began to
puff vigorously on their pipes.
My idea OF the biggest story" unused
one, takes shape in the form of a mira

low up lot OF people. allowing them
TO slide directly through the globe. and
come out on the other side, think the
papers would be tempted TO use line

other volume of smoke.
But suppose a man should kill cat,
and then find that pussy was his long
lost brother, wouldn't that be a story,
thought interpoIated wild-eyed cub
reporter. No one deigned TO notice the
remarkable suggestion.
For my part" remarked the staid
correspondent, II don't think there is
any story bigger than the assassination
of the President of the United States or
the murder of a king 1t is an event
that affects the whole world. What
could possibly be a greater story for the
newspapers to chronicle?''

four years DID, of 80 Chestnut Street.
Brooklyn, chased her dog on the tracks
in front OF her home just as Motor
man John Quinn's car was rounding the
curve toward her. People who saw her

power and applied the brakes in q sec

reached out around the fender, like an
Indian riding on the shoulder OF his
horse, caught the little girl by the hair
as the fender of the slowing car struck
her and threw her to one side. She was
bruised by the fall but otherwise was
unhurt, and her father and people who
witnessed the feat crowded about Quinn
to praise him.

war between Turkey and Bulgaria is now
considered slight. Oficial news has just

upon a war, from which he would gain
nothing If victorious and In which he
might lose everything.

The sun went down In a blood-red cloud
sigh
And a strange. weird veil like sombre
shroud,
Hung down from the murky sky.
TheN fox hounds bayed at the angry moon
TINT fiickered a dim, sad light,
And ne crickets chirped a doleful tuna
To the ghosts abroad that night.
1t was such a night as brave men hate,
When the darkness seems to hide
But dimly shapes that oongregate
And through the shadows glide.
No start to point the traveller home.
No light on land or sea,
night when ghost and witch and
gnome
Hold fiendlsh revelry.
Through Dead Mans Gulch, by the
haunted mill,
That stands like specter white,
win It's broken arms so gaunt and still,
A footman passed that night
He trudged along till from without
The shadows stood a man,
But the footman did not faint nor shout
He neither turned nor ran
He stood his ground, brave to defend
His every act and deed,
friend,
Can you give me chew Of the weed?'
The chew was given, each went his way
There was neither death nor din,
But ] We often thought, alackadayl

Care for Little Outside of Their Own
Small World.
There is hardly anything more abb
surd than the way college students
read the newspapers" remarked the
graduate at the University club. AS
a rule they ignore the live news of
the day and read only the sporting
page. remember when was in col
lege there we're several epoch-makins
events that took place, but the boys
took no interest In them. In fact, they
practically did not discuss them at
all. When the Maine was blown up
there was slight ripple Of excitement
and a few expressions Of anger, but
within day or two the students were
again deep in the sporting page. And
even on the sporting page the interest
was limited to college contests. 1t
was almost absurd to see how we
were wrapped up in our little world.
Fortunately, however, as soon as col
lege boy is graduated he rapidly broad
ems out and soon looks back to his col
lege life as merely an incident In his
career and not the most important
part of it."-New York Times.

In recently published biography of

having said that the Babylonians used
to cook eggs by whirling them in a
sling, Calico replied: THE cause OF
such an effect Is very remote from
that to which II is attributed and to
find the true cause shall reason
thus: IF an effect does not follow
with us which followed with others at
another time 1t is because in our ex-
periments something is wanting which
was the cause of the former success;
and IL only one thing is wanting to
us that one thing is the true cause.
Now we have eggs and sings and
strong men to whirl them, and yet
they Will not become cooked; nay, II
they were hot at first they more quick.
ly become cold; and since nothing Is
wanting to us but to be Babylonian II
follows that being Babylonians is the
true cause why the eggs became
cooked and not to the friction of the
air, which is what wish to prove"
