sight. You can make the hole more
readily before attaching the half bullet.
The bullet must be covered neatly
with paper, 50 that it will not be no
ticed, and the whole device should be
painted, as this will serve to conceal the
trick.
Now, you tell the onlookers that the
bottle will obey your commands, and
having ordered it to stand up. you
place it on the table without inserting the
wire. when nothing will keep it from an
upright position, but holding it down.
It is the weight of the bullet, you see,
that keeps it standing.
Then you order it to lie fiat on the
table, and as you take it In your hands
to give the order you deity insert the
wire in the hole, and lay the bottle down,
when the weight of the wire will keep
1t in that position. AS the wire goes far
enough into the hole to be out of sight
no one will suspect its presence
This is neat and mystifying trick,
II skillfully performed. One minute the
bottle will insist on standing upright,
and the next minute it will tumble down
as often as it is set up.-Brooklyn Eagle.

MELTED AWAY LIKE SNOW.
Who Were Once a Power
full Tribe.

That the red man is passing from the
face of the world has long been a
matter of common remark. The truth
of the saying never received more strik-
ing proof than In the case of the Paw
nees, who were removed to Oklahoma
from Nebraska in 1876, says the Chicago
Chronicle. At the time of their removal
from Nebraska the tribe numbered $500
souls. To-day there are less than 500
The Pawnees were given exceptionally
good allotments in Oklahoma The eli
mate is practically the same as that of
their former home, and, in fact, every
thing has been done by the government
to promote their welfare and happiness.
For some unaccountable reason they
have sickened and died. until the day IL
not far distant when the Pawnee tribe
will be extinct. The mortality among
them has been growing steadily year by
year. In 1882, six years after their
removal to Oklahoma, the tribe had
shrunk to $40, and the census OF 1900
showed but 600 living Pawnees.
It is curious thing that the children
OF these Indians appear most rugged, but
after passing their twenty-fifth birthday
a peculiar and unaccountable malsdy at
lacks them, and they apparently lose in
terest in life, and gradually waste away,
deatA oyertaking them In their prime.
Scientists and professional men gem
orally of the Indian ONCE have been at
tracted by this peculiar condition Of
things, but have not rs yet been able to
ascertain what Nemesis pursues the
rugged Pawnee after his tventF- 3ssh
birthday.

TO DEVELOP THE CHEST.
Easy Way by Which to Increase BuN
Measurement Two Inches
In Three Months.

The neck and chest can be developed
finely In three months by the following
rules.
AS you walk about raise the shoulders
quickly and then throw them back and
then down. Count quickly as you do it,
1-2-3-raising them to and SO on.
After going through this three times OF
more, you are ready to walk properly.
Keep the chest out and be careful each
time NOT to let the shoulders come for
ward at the last counts. They must
go down and back, If anything.
+ AS goa walk, continually keep the
chest pushed out and the abdomen and
stomach forcibly drawn In. See how
long you can hold your breath, and, as
you hold 1t, raise the chest higher and
higher. This Is what singers do when
they wish to sustain long passages in
one breath.
When you find you must exhaust your
breath, do not let the chest fall, and take
the breath instantly and quietly through
the nose only and by pushing out the
sides. Then instantly begin slowly draw
ing in the sides and abdomen and raise
the chest higher and higher.
Any one who will try this will increase
in measure from shoulder to shoulder
and around bust two inches In three
months.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

the department, Mr. Garwood called out:
"All right, boys, I'll be down with you In
second" and he slid down the pole into
the station. There he found that Prince
alone was holding the fort. He had
pulled out the pin which secured his
stall chain, rang the gong and, leaping
from his stall, had backed himself be-
tween the shafts of the hose wagon ready
for run.
Prince repeated this nocturnal joke SO
often that Mr.. Garwood secured the stall
chain by means Of long, heavy iron pin.
Prince showed his disgust few nights
later by Withdrawing the pin with his
teeth, throwing it through large pane
Of glass in front of his stall and making
another false alarm.
Prince obeys the orders of Chief Car
wood or his assistant, but "all the
kings horses and all the kings men"
cannot hitch him to the hose wagon
when they are absent.-Kansas City

WONDERFUL FIRE HORSE.
Prince. Pet of Olanthe (Kan) City
Officials, Does Not Brook Neglect
of Any Sort.

Prince is the horse upon which Olathe
| Kan, depends in cases of local confla-
| grafton. Prince was purchased from q
farmer living near Council Grove, Kan.
| four years ago, and since he has been
on duty at the city fire department head
quarters day and night. He is superb
~ formed dark bay, weighs 1850 pounds
and pulls the 3,000-pound hose wagon
on a gallop. Prince learned his A, B.
Cs, SO to speak, under the tutelage OF
ex-Chief Frank Nelson. of Olathe. In
the past two years, however, his educa-
ton has progressed rapidly under the
care of the present incumbent, Fire
Chief Fred Garwood.
Attached to the wall Immediately in
front of Princes stall is large gong.
to the lever of which two pull-cords are
attached-one passing upward along the
wall and across the ceiling to point
Immediately over the seat of the hose
wagon, the other suspended downward
from the gong so as to be within easy
reach of person standing upon the
floor-the gong being used for ordinary
training and actual service alarms. But
Prince has appropriated the gong to
other purposes, and these without any
preliminary training whatever, as will
appear.
One day Chief Garwood, who, Incl
dentally, is also city clerk, was SO alb
sorbed with his books in his Office i'm
mediately over the fire station that noon
passed unobserved by him. A sharp tap
of the gong smote upon his ear, but, be-
lieving it to be the prank of some mis-
chievous boy, he worked on. At inter-
walls of minute or so the taps continued,
and Mr.. Garwood, in no peaceful state
of mind, laid aside his books and tip
toed downstairs with grim determine
ton to spank the offender Scarcely had
he reached the foot of the stairway when
succession of loud rings greeted him.
Rushing into the station, now fully bent
on doing harm to the intruder, he found
to his establishment no boy there. Prince
had the cord firmly grasped between
his teeth and was assiduously ringing
for his long-delayed midday meal. He
ndu WORKED out the solution OF q O1mculC
problem in procrastination.
From that day Prince has utilized the
gong to call his chiefs attention to the
slightest delay in the serving of his pro-
vender, be it oats, hay or water.
Some time ago, in season of ex-
tremely inclement weather. the horse
kept up at intervals throughout each
day succession of gong taps which
were entirely unaccountable for, and
finally Mr.. Garwood secured the gong
cord in such manner that Prince could
not reach it. This action aroused the
ire of the horse and stamping and kick
ing succeeded. It finally dawned upon
the mind of Mr.. Garwood that the horse
was pining for exercise, which, being
given him, put an end to unreasonable
taps of the gong.
One cold night last winter as the chief
lay asleep he was suddenly awakened by
q succession of loud alarms from the
gong below, closely followed by the rap
i'd and heavy tramping of a horses feet
upon the floor. With visions of the as
sembling of the volunteer members Of

THE TORNADO.

: Clouds low. low hung,
And wild birds flung,
I. Like leaves on the gust, 60 by:
And q dash Of rain
! Strikes the window pane
! Like tears from the heavy sky.
Tall trees wind blown
Writhe round and groan.
2 Strike back at the blast, and bend
In tortured toss
Till their branches cross,
"a And their tops with the grasses blend.
From caverns far
Where northwinds ars
? The god OF the storm comes forth;
On his far-fiung breath
Rides shrieking death
I And Its mantle is over earth.
Huge pillows rise
Where the ocean lies
Till the heavens are washed In brine;
Mems souls go out
In the tempest's rout,
And wild beasts crouch and whine.
Man, who forgot
In his pursuit hot
OF pleasure, golden she'd
With plea for peace
And storms swift cease
Creeps back to an outraged God:
