The funniest case of this sort I ever

young Irishman- One day he brought
his old mother out to the track; to give
her the air. The old lady was not long

picked out a good seat for her in the
grandstand, and then Joined me in the

a few minutes to hide away in the old
teapot.
.She shook her head sadly and re-
proa ched her boy for throwing away
his money 50 foolishly. Then the horse
got off, and Irish Pat came home in

AN OLD MANS NERVE.
II d Been in a Tree, but Hadn't
Lost Nerve.

Late Monday afternoon two men
were brought from the Davis elevator
to South Topeka by way of the cable
over the Melan bridge One of these
was Michael Dewitt of 800 North To
peka avenue and John Taylor. a neigh
Dor. The high water had forced them
to a tree Friday night and they re-
manned there until 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. Dewitt was an old man. SIS
years of age at least Dewitt was shiv-
ering from exposure but he had not lost
his nerve
It did require a little nerve to cross
from the two street cars on the cable
to the bridge but the old man faced it
bravely. He let himself be tied in the
rope and swung ont over the torrent
smiling.
IT'S like going up in a balloon" he
called back. as he swung easily across.

LIFE IN THE TURTLE POOL
one Loggerhead With No Appetite
and One With an Appetite for Two

In one division of the turtle pool at
the aquarium there are two big logger
heads Weighing 24O pounds apiece. or
more. one of them came in last fall
and the other about a year ago.
The one that came in last fail has
scarcel- begun TO eat; but there IS
nothing astonishing about that. for sueii
turtles may easily go months without
eating The other big turtle not only
eats all that is put in for itself, but All
that is put in for the other fellow too
Commonly these two big turtles ar
to be seen each with its head in it's oWf.

the food for each is put down In tn
corner at its head The older turtle.
