THE PURSE WAS TEMPTING
Salesman in City Store Has a Good
Time Studying Human
Nature.

Picking up worn out, empty
pocketbOok, a salesman in one of
the large dry goods stores thought
he would have a little fun with it.
He therefore placed it on the coun-
ter, half-concealed by the goods
lying on it. Presently a shopper
entered. Her eyes lighted on the
wallet as by instinct, and while
pricing half a score of articles she
endeavored to cover it quite art
lessly, of course, now with her
handkerchief, then with her
satchel, and again with her UNI
brella, relates the Chicago Trib-
une.
The salesman, without appear
ing to notice her actions each time
removed the pocketbook out Of
danger and into light. Finally she
adopted new tactics and picked it
up with the remark:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pocketbook."
"Yes?" replied the clerk, inter
negatively. "Thank you" And
he took the leather and disap-
peared with it for a moment.
Upon bis return the woman
asked with a slight show of inter
est:
"Was there much in it?"
"Only 49," replied the salesman,
carelessly, with the ease of one
who has been used to lying all his
life.
"And who will get it if it isn't
called for?" asked the shopper.
"The firm" is the epigrammatic-
al response.
The woman went out. In ten or
fifteen minutes a boy came in and
asked:
"Was a pocketbook with So

Olive Seeds Ground Up and Used
To Adulterate Pepper.

Mr.. r. NJ. Allen, Pure Food In
spector, prosecuted vigorous
search into food authorizations
which are said to have existed for
some time in Newport and Coving-
ton. Several of the men who
handled the adulterated goods have
agreed to plead guilty at the trial
today.
The article of commerce adul-
terated worse than any other, was
black pepper. For this, olive seeds
were used. Olive seeds from res
taurants, hotels and bar rooms,
were ground up. With their aid,
one pound of pepper could be made
into two pounds. The men who
are guilty will be fined for viola
tion of the pure food laws.

Railroad Searchliqhts.

When a heavy train is rushing
in the dark at sixty miles an hour,
a weak headlight is no protection.
1t cannot reveal the trouble ahead
soon enough for the engineer to
stop his train.
A number of the newest engines
nave been supplied with headlights
that are visible a mile away, and
light the track hundred of yards
in front of the engine. The ordi-
nary high-speed mail-traIn can be
stopped inside of fifteen hundred
feet. So light that can cover
this distance is as great protec-
tion as the noon sun.
The new lights are run by a
small dynamo In the engine. Some
of them are as high as six thousand
candle-power, and make the old
time reflector look feeble and yell
low.
A further improvement is a de-
vice which allows the engine to
''see around corners" The light
is governed by lever in the tend
err, by means of which the fireman
can turn the light sideways down
curve in the track. The old.
fashioned light, fixed permanently
to the smoke-stack, projects its
rays directly ahead, and thus left
the track in darkness except on a
straight road.-Harper's Weekly.

WORK HORSES WALK FAST.
Have Their Loads Behind Them and
Know There Must Be No
Loahng.

Do you know that the average
team of work horses can walk
faster than your old, easy-going
family "Dobbinv can trot? They
can and do every day of their
drudging lives, says an authority.
Your old "Dobbin" is ''mooch-
err a "four-husher," so to speak.
,rhen he gets int the harness be
blinks his old eyes lazily and
starts out with the idea of fooling
you uppermost in his mind.
When he is delicately tapped
with the tip of a whip or caress-
ingly slapped with the reins, he
comes out of his colthood dreams
and, with his ears cooked forward,
begins his bluff.
If in the country, he kicks up
great clouds of dust-not because
he's going fast, but because he's
too lazy TO lift his feet In the
cities YOU can hear him strike the
pavement with the same regular
click as the old clock and little
faster. The old fake wobbles him
self, though in such a manner that
you get the idea that he's making
time. He's really going about
three miles an hour.
On the other hand, when your
work team starts out the horses
know that no summer excursion
or shopping expedition is on hand.
They have been taught to know
the meaning of the whips sharp
crack-in their coltish days if
they couldn't learn to heed the
warning snap of the "blacksnake"
they were made to feel its bite. So,
when the seasoned work horses
get in the harness, they lean
against the load nobly and keep it
up for hours.
1t is estimated by horsemen
that an ordinary team of work
horses will travel at the rate of
four miles an hour and an extra
fast pair will get over the ground
at a five-mile-an-hour clip.
