Max O'teII's Opinion of Four Peo-

pies Given In Gestures.
"When Max O'Rell came to Montreal
some years ago" said a man from that
city to a Detroit Journal contributor,
1--WE fixed up a little joke on him. We
had noticed how gracefully he could
unite a caustic criticism with a compli-
ment, a faculty that enabled him to
say the sharpest things without offend
ing the people he wal critieising. We
were going TO put the faculty to a test.
I'VE had him lunch with us, and
there were at the table besides himself
an Englishman, a Scotchman, an Irish
man and a French-Canadian. When
we got our guest off his guard we de-
manded an honest opinion of the differ
ent races we represented. AS the opin-
ion had to be given in the presence Of
all four. the situation for him was q
rather delicate one. But it lever SEEM
ed to trouble him, and he gave his opin-
ion without a moments hesitation.
1.-The Scotchman,' he said. and he
clinched his right hand tightly and
pretended to try to force it open with
his left. The Englishman'- and he
went through the same performance,
opening the hand at the end after an
apparent struggle. The Irishman'-
and he held out his hand wide open,
with the palm upward. The French
man and he made a motion with
both hands as if he were emptying
them on the table.
There was not a word of eXplana-
ton, but we all understood thoroughly
and had a hearty laugh. Max O'Rell
had maintained his reputation"

The Frog,s Feeding.

Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth for
his size, and if we were to put a finger
inside it we would find that he has a
row of teeth in the upper jaw and that
his soft white tongue, unlike our own,
is attached in front and is free behind.
When he wishes to catch any insect he
throws out the free end of the tongue,
then draws it in so rapidly that it is
difficult to see whether he has been
successful or not. As the tongue Is
coated with a gummy fluid, the insect
sticks to it and is carried back into the
mouth, which closes upon it like the
door of a tomb. Frogs, however, are
not limited to one mode of feeding.
They often leap open mouthed upon
larger prey, which includes besides in
sects small fish, mice, small ducklings,
polliwogs and tiny frogs. = Woman's
Home Companion.

A Lincoln Joke.

One of Lincoln's visitors in the early
days of his administration says:
"He walked into the corridor with
US, and. as he babe us goodby and
thanked - for what he had told him,
he again frightened up for a moment
and asked him in an abrupt kind Of
way, laying his hand as he spoke with
a queer but not uncivil familiarity on
his shoulder, You haven't such a thing
as a postmaster in your pocket, have
your
g." stared at him in establishment
and l thought a little in alarm, as If he
suspected a sudden attack of insanity.
Then Mr.. Lincoln went on: You see, It
seems to be kind of unnatural that you
shouldn't have at least a postmaster In
your pocket. Everybody I've seen for
days past has had foreign ministers
and collectors and all kinds, and 1
thought you couldn't have got in mere
without having at least a postmaster
get into your pocket 1.-THE True
Abraham Lincoln"

That night my wounds were dressed,
and the next day, very weak and sore
and with a sufficient escort, l proceeded
to Albay. On examining into the state

my life in the fight. \ ~treacberous

FLETCHER ATTACKED THE M%UTINEERS.
Dor at Albay whose crew had mutt
MED and were carrying things with a
high hand. He jumped into a boat
with two of his assistants and pulled
for the vessel.
The mutinous crew had already muir
dered the chief engineer and the stew
ard, had wounded the captain, the
mate, the second engineer and one pas
senger, was in full control of the YES
sci and was running her out to sea
/ when Inspector Fletcher arrived. He
and his men, fighting their way, gained
the deck of the boat by climbing up
the side, and, engaging the mutineers
hand to hand, succeeded in killing
three, wounding five and driving all
the others either below or into the sea.
Thirty-five of the mutineers were cap
tured, and the only two who escaped
are supposed to have been shot and
drowned in the bay.
Recently the name of Lieutenant
Harrison Fletcher has again come to
this country in connection with an
other tale of unusual bravery. Alone
he fought a band of thirty Filipino out
laws, killing five and wounding others.
Here is the story as told by himself.
At the time it happened l was on
duty in the province of Albay, which
is infested by some 500 or 600 native
outlaws, insurgents, as they call them
selves. My station was i'll Ligao.
| had just returned from a fifteen
days hike in the mountains II had
received orders to proceed to the town
of Tobacco to take station.
No having the advantage of trolleys
or trains, l accepted the best alterna-
tive-my bicycle-as l wanted to get to
my station as soon as possible, and
late in the afternoon l reached my first
stop off" the little town of Guino-
batan, with my two hombres bringing
up the rea with my baggage.
l concluded to stay for supper and
ride IN down the main road by moon
light to the next town, about three
miles distant, where | could spend the
night.
When | went to the mess | found 1t
composed Of four of my countrymen,
two very charming schoolteachers, a
telegraph operator and a fellow officer
of the c~onstabulary.
When a man is hungry and has not
seen American faces nor heard the IA
miliar tongue for a long while the time
is apt to slip along with remarkable
rapidity when both desires are fulfilled
at once.
While we were at supper a bull cart
came along on its way to Albay, in
which were riding the presidente OF
Ligao and several prominent natives
with a guard of municipal police.
l asked the presidente to take my
baggage down to Albay, as ! had no
transportation, and he readily consent
ed, inviting me to accompany them in
stead of riding my wheel. But pre-
ferred a few hours with my c%ongenial
countrymen and a lonely bicycle ride

piled that would overtake him on my

left me with the parting advice not to
try to come alone.

Enormous strength of Mushroom

related in the Gardeners Magazine.
This force seems all the more remarka.
BILE when exerted by light and unsub-
stantial mushrooms, but does not ap-

the expansion of a hard wood tree.
Some half hardy ANIMALS were sown in

the lights closed to hasten termination.
Some days afterward signs of cracking

gradually a block weighing in the ag-

of the wall. The mycelium had run
freely in the mortar and on the inner

ldiS listening to the brief and audible
conversation and eyed me %curiously as
! returned to my interrupted supper.
When they proposed that | prolong
my STAY and call on my two country
women l was easily persuaded. As a
result il was 9:30 at night when | start
ed on my lonely ride. with small hope
of oyertaking the presidente of Ligao
and his escort, who had had several
hours start Of me.
| rode hard to try to make mp for lost
time and derived some comfort from
the fact that had carried in my belt a
fully loaded IS ealiber Colts revolver
and across my back my Krag carbine.
About half a mile from the town the
road runs through a thick cocoanut
grove, with small native houses on both
sides. When / entered the grove the
moonlight was shut out, but my aeety-
lene lamp stood me in good stead. I
had passed several houses and vas
spinning along the road at a splendid
rate, with a prospect Of reaching my
destination in time.
Suddenly the broad beam Of my lamp
revealed to me the outlaws lying in the
ditch on either side Of the road. The
lamp probably saved my life. for with
out it | would have been in their midst
before seeing them.
Almost before I had time to stop and
hop off my wheel they were on me. and
before l could get my revolver in action
l was cut in four places-on the left
jaw, left forearm. shoulder and in the
center of my breast-not so badly. how
ever, that | could not defend myself,
which | proceeded to do with "a right
good will.
| shot the four men nearest me in the
stomach and chest, and the others
started to run. My revolver had been
emptied, but in my excitement | incau-
tlously snapped it twice. | had bad no
chance to unsling my carbine in the be-.
ginning of the fracas, so | was almost
defenseless.
The leader of the band saw my plight
and ordered his men to return. They,
however, thought me a sort of white
devil" with unseen resources, for they
hesitated, and l was saved. Before
they had time to decide my carbine
was unslung and barking %furiously.
Five more men went down before they
had time to run, and more Of them
were wounded, but they got away.
All this time | was yelling and giving
orders as though | had a whole regi-
ment of soldiers behind me, telling
them in Spanish to hurry up. The men
were getting away as fast as they
could when | heard u voice calling out
in English to know what was the mat

in my own tongue, and that and my
voice revealed my nationality to the
