WONDERFUL SENSE OF SMELL.
Aboriginex of Peru Can Distin Euish
White Man Negro with
Their Noses.

How infinitely minute must be the
particles that emanate from the object
which the dog is tracking? Yet matter
is extremely divisible. The tenth part
of a grain of musk will continue for
years to fill a room with its odoriferous
particles, and at the end of that time
will not be appreciably diminished in
weight by the finest balance, says the
London Mail. A cubic inch Of air rising
been found to contain no fewer than
4S9, 900, 900 dust particles. A drop of
blood which might be suspended from
the point of a needle contains about q
million of red f1attened corpuscles.
Still, though matter Is so marvelOusly
divisible, the olfactory nerves are In
finitely more sensitive. Much has yet
differentiation of the points in these
nerves so that they may discriminate
with such apparently miraculous ac-
curacy: yet even the results in the scent
of dogs show how marvelously fine in
their discriminating power. Our sense
of smell, unless in the trained chemist,
is not even so acute as that of the semi
savage The aborigines of Peru can, in
the darkest night and in the thickest
woods, distinguish respectively a white
man, a negro and one of their own race
by the smell. Much we have gained by
civilizations; but not without some loss
to our bodily energies and senses.
Mans recuperative power after an in
jury is in the inverse ratio to his social
advancement Similarly he seems to
become less acute and delicate in the
sense of smell as he fares better and
lives more comfortably. The faithful
dog puts him to shame.

OPEN WAY TO ROOSEVELT.
How Two New York Men Saw the
President without EncOunterinE
the Secret SerVi &c Guards.

The discussion as to whether there
are guards enough about the presidents
home at Oyster. Bay recalled to two
memo of New York city the other day an
incident of a year ago when they made
a first trip to the summer capital of the
nation.
They didn't drive over by the regular
road from the village, but landed from
boat and then walked through the
woods and across lots up to Sycamore
Hill. Neither knew the way, but they
assured each other that they'd know
the Roosevelt domain by the presence
of secret service men.
It occurred to them when they thought
they were near the right place, though,
that it wouldn't do any harm to inquire
the way, so they walked across field
and up the steps to the back veranda
of a fine-looking house. Not a secret
service man was in sight around there.
A man was sitting on the veranda.
Can you tell us" asked one of the
callers, where President Rooseyelts
house is?"

n DRYANT thought it quite funny
y when he put at the top of
his letterheads a stipulation in regard
to the size of performers dressing
room and hotel trunks and the condi-
tions: Trunks at hotels twice
week No dogs or guns carried. No
deadwood permitted" In spite of
Bryant's rule and resolution he did
have to carry some deadWood, and 1t
came about through the necessity OF
engaging an equestrienne.
Bryant had no standing in the circus
business and was despised by artists
and managers alike. Stolid and mer-
cenary, he had a cuticle like a rhinoc-
eros and when the comments of others
reached his ears he laughed at the un-
complimentary criticisms, when man
of finer feelings would have blushed
for very shame.
One spring Bryant found himself at
a very late day minus that all impor-
tant feature, a lady rider, as already
stated Several had applied, been
turned down and put off, or, better
said. bluffed in the standard Bryant
way. NOW ludl Tic uIdn Az q
pinch he did not advertise or confide
his imperative necessity to his agents,
but doggedly declared Obtusely:
'"The show will go out, rider or no
rider"
One afternoon he had a caller. 1t
was Flora Ervine, rider Of repute and
physical charms, and to the managers
astonishment her mission was to Sc
cure an engagement.
II thought you was engaged?' said
Bryant, as soon as the visitor made
known her errand.
II Cancelled" was the reply.
"Because?"
Because | am married"
ooh, ho.' exclaimed Bryant. mis-
trusting the reason of the cancella-
ton. rs your husband in the busi-
ness?''
The equestrienne bit her lip before
she answered, hesitated while Bryant
looked upon her with something be-
tween a glare and a grin:
My husband is not in the busi-
ness
81 thought as much" blurted Bryant,
coarsely, and then he quickly recov
cred himself and remarked apologet-
ically: Excuse me-"
An awkward pause followed, the Wis.,
itor quietly breaking the ice anew:
81 learned that you were without
rider and thought | would call"
The manager cut her off with the
blunt statement:
Il don't carry any deadwood with
my trick, | don't
"Deadwood!" repeated the eques-
trienne.
Yes" drawled the manager.
"Dead-wood, deadwood!" With that
he pushed letterhead into his callers
hands, with his finger indicating the
conditions.
Then might as we'll be going"
observed the equestrienne. BY the
time that she had gained her feet he
had interposed request for her to
remain:
"Wait leetle."
Bryant was not fool enough to throw
away a last chance, and he hastened to
say. with an effort to conciliate:
"P'raps we might make dicker an
include the-the-er your husband;
that is, if you make the figure right.
(Foxy Bryant never lost sight of the
dollar.) 'Twould be nard to spoil your
honeymoon, wouldn't it? Ha, hal"
(the visitor smiled not). Bryant
leered and chuckled. I'm a widoWer.

Not one but marked a place called home

But l was all alone!
And midnight darkness held the world
Like a huge thing enthralled;
Days eV'ry banner had been furled;
Nor wind nor nibhtbird called
Across the heavy lying dark.
Nor cen the pillows moan;
The worlds a grisly thing and stark

am breaking them In" said the young
husband.
The bargain was made in whispers,
as if the walls indeed had ears
When the boss animal man learned
of the project he was bold enough to
expostulate with the manager, declaring
in his honest Indignation:
Mr.. Bryant, you will be the death
of that young chap!"
IF | am" was the brutal return,
with a leer and wink, Il am widower
and he will leave a pretty widow!"
The lion king controlled himself
and curbed a rising and rejecting ex-
preston.
Milton Folsom's determination was
a reckless and dangerous one, but he
proved himself to be the Brave Mas
ter of the Grave RObbing Hyenas,"
and it was not until he actually ap-
peared in the procession that his dis
tressed and greatly shocked wife was
aware of his thrilling exploit.
The boss animal man shook his
head day after day as the pagean;
formed and the hyena den moved into
place, with Milton Folsom surrounded
by the treacheroUs, snarling. genuine
ly fierce brutes.
only question Of time! Only a
question of time" the lion king fairly
groaned as he expressed his prophetic
belief
On one occasion the manager over
heard the wall and mendaciously
sneered:
She will look prettier than ever in
mourning"
The employees first impulse was to
gerous and his eyes flashed fire. AS he
entered his den of lions he restrained
his hands, but his lips were free:
You prefer to kill by proxy, Mr..
Bryant"
The manager covered as if his in
most thoughts had been read. With a
suppressed oath he turned on his heel
and from that hour avoided the lion
king as much as possible. The calam-
ity foretold by the boss animal man
came at last. The season was we'll
nigh spent and Milton Folsom had
ESCAPED all harm and not received
even SO much as 4 scratch, when on
the fatal day the greatest crowds of
the season packed the s,.-aets and lined
ND SO close to the moving pageant
parade that they fairly endangered
themselves as the multitude in the
rear pressed impatiently and struggled
to catch a glimpse Of the music her
aided exhibit The local authorities
were inefficient. and the cage and band
wagon drivers threaded their teams
through the mass as best they could,
calling at times to the excited throngs
to Clear the way" Just as the hyena
den was passing public square the
hyenas. as if by command of q signal,
sprang upon Milton Folsom and rend-
ed him to pieces. to the horror of the
beholders. Strong men tainted and
women dropped to the earth as sudden
ly as if stricken with death. The lion
king and several OF his assistants
reached the byena den too late to rem
der any assistance-only in tine to
remove the blood dripping form from
the den of four-lcgged demons Bry-
art turned up in time to send the halt

Ervine, the equestrienne, rode away in
her place almost at the head of the
line. ignorant of the tragic disaster
At the managers arrival the lion king
was supporting Folsom's limp form
tenderly.
Horrible accident" said Bryant,
avoiding the gaze Of the brave fellow.
Terrible murder." replied the lion
king.

you know, but l never dreamt that
you had an idea of matrimony."
The visitor looked grave and offend
ed, whereat the manager ceased his
distasteful banter and proceeded to
business, a deal was made, and it is
scarcely necessary to state that Bryant
took considerable advantage Of the
situation. AS the equestrienne was de-
parting with her contract the manager
remarked:
II hope that while your husband is
with the show he will pick up some
thing of the trade and not be excess
baggage all the season.
When Milton Folsom came on with
his wife forsrehearsals be got the cold
shoulder both from the manager and
the performers. Even the animal
keepers, grooms, canvasmen and
razorbacks pointed him out as Flora
Ervine's deadwood. The performers
were especially severe in their COM
ments. Said the first singing clown,
the oracle of the dressing-room:
Why, the chappis don't know
enough to even keep up her horses"
"Or groom them" added a grotesque
who always confirmed the oracle's
opinions.

his own right and without n calling,
he found himself in the position Of
nOn-producer Cupid, the rascal. had
trapped the young man and lured the
lover into an unenviable situation.
When the husband blamed himself,
the wife asserted:
Don't reproach yourself. dearest;
never mind what others say or look
All will come out right in the end
After Bryant had engaged his lady
rider he still had one matter in hand
that troubled him-as much as man
Of his temperament could be worried.
During the winter he had purchased
den of hyenas with the Intention OF
having them broken for a feature OF
the street parade. When Bryant
bought the brutes he was confident
that his boss animal man, the lion
king, would train the animals and ap-
pear in public in the sensational group.
For once the manager counted without
his host.
Not on your life." exclaimed the
lion king on hearing the proposition
What. me break them grave rob-
bers? Not on my tintype!"
Neither persuasion nor bullying
would alter the determination Of the
employe. nor could the willy manager
cajole any of the minor keepers into
becoming the Brave Master OF the
Grave Robbing Hyenas" Bryant even
tempted canvasmen. grooms and razor
backs in vain. Just as he was on the
point of advertising for trainer a
bright thought entered his dullish
brain After the birth of the inspira-
ton he cultivated Milton Folsom with
a purpose The manager did not
broach the uppermost subject abrupt
ly Shrewdly he bided his time, and

ly at the young man as he emphasized
"a man of nerve"
Milton Folsom repeated the words
and added, calmly: Il have some

make it an object"

This question IS often answered in the negative,
even by persons who presumably have the welfare
of their city at heart These contend that in the
breast of every there is a gambling instinct
that will find expression in some form, unless held
in check by highly developed moral nature; that
this restraining element is lacking in most men;
and that as policy is form of gaming that comes
within the reach of the leanest purse it can
not be eradicated This view of the matter is os-
