RARE Joy FOR A FiEND.

Maerercar Rows.

Mean Man Causes Mix-Up of Two
Messenger Boys.
A small messenger boy ran down
Fifth avenue this morning, caroling a
blithesome tune, his small heart at
peace with all the world. Some thirty
feet behind him sped second boy,
likewise at peace with all creation,
and whistling as he trotted on. Upon
the sidewalk stood a heartless man,
nibbling large apple, and apparently
the last person in the world to pay
any attention to the doings of a mes
senger. The boys passed him. and,
with a malevolent grin, he raised his
hand. The hals-eaten apple whizzec
through the air. passed over the head
of the rearward boy, and smote the
leading lad full in the neck, and dis
tributing it's core, pulp and seeds over
his shoulders and inside his collar.
With a yell of surprise and rage
the insulted youth whirled around,
and the second boy ran into him. The
apple-battered enc let go fierce right
jolt upon the innocent lads visage,
and then they closed. For five min
utes they battered each other ell over
the sidewalk, while two telegram
fluttered in the trampled mud, and
the heartless man, holding his ribs to
prevent absolute demolition, howied
with glee.-New York Exchange.

BURNING COLORADO FORESTS.
Suggestion That the Fires May Have
Been Caused by Meteors.

Suggestion That the Fires May Rave
Been Caused by Meteors.
Scientists are having their attention
called to the coincidence in the preva-
lence OF so many forest fires in the
Rocky Mountains and the scientific
fact that great number of meteors
have been tearing up the earth in this
quarter of the globe.
1t has been suggested that these
meteors dropping in various mountain
districts, in heavy pine forests. have
exploded and thus started the big for
est fires that are doing so much dam
age. This Is a new theory in the
scientific world, but it is not without
the range of possibilities and seems
the only explanation Of the mysterious
origin of these fires. These fires have
originated apparently without human
agency end there has not been any
theory of lightning origin.
Denver scientists are now making
q study of this theory and in few
days will doubtless express their
opinions. 1t certainly seems a salts
factory explanation of how fires origi-
nate in sections far from the roads
of travel and the habitation of men.
Word has just been received in Den
yer of a fire that is raging near
Grand Lake, Col. and which is threat
enfrg much property. This fire, it is
supposed, originated from the burst
ing of q meteor on a hay ranch near
Grand Lake. Another disastrous fire,
with mysterious origin, is raging near

if you wish, to avoid glood poisoning,

elder lawyer saw the visitor enter he
said inquiringly:
We'll, how are you getting along?
You look sort of seedy. You don't
want to get that way. No matter how
much you get behind in your. accounts,
always put up good bluff and dress
well. A lawyer who looks seedy shows
by his looks that he can't be doing
much business, and so a stranger don't
have any confidence in him.
Glad you give me some frank ad-
vice" said the young barrister. That 5
