he absent-mindedly began to work

licitous to learn if his accomplishment
had been impaired by the mishap

he did this, he was intensely startled
to hear behind him burst of laugh.

He turned to see Nora, his idol, his
adored, standing back of him, where

A great light broke over Sam. A
vast dam crashed free. His soul
rushed forth in one mad wave.
"M-M-Miss M-MMarkley - Miss -

and facing her. "d.d-d-do y-y-you FL

yes, it's funny" admitted Nora, on
the point of another outbreak in spite
of herself.
Sam saw his advantage. He squared
himself about, and, looking solemnly
and earnestly in Nora's face, he pulled
his right and then his left ear for

at right angles to his head.
After all, the ludicrous is but the
unexpected. Many laugh who see an
old woman fall upon the slippery

Even the sternest fiber must at

Nora was seated on the chair next to
him at the table. They were alone.
Silence fell. Nora's hand moved nerv-

FRENCH DETECTIVES.
Police Service in Paris Much Supe-
riOr to That of Many Other
European Cities.

When the emperor and empress of
Russia had arranged to visit Paris and
Compiegne the efficiency of the French
detective police was thus tested: The
chief of the Russian police came Sc
cretly to Paris with orders to lie quiet
" by in a hotel and only to report
himself at the embassy after stay of
a week. But he had not been three
hours in Paris, says London Truth, be-
fore the project of police learned OF his
arrival from a French detective. At st.
Petersburg they thought this satisfac-
tory result, and the imperial pair ven
tured to come to Paris and drive down
the Champs Elysees without cavalry
round their carriage. A similar test ap-
piled in Rome brought to light police
slackness there. The head of the Rus
sian police lay by there for a whole
week without his arrival being suspect
ed. On the evening of the sixth day he
called on Count Nelidoff to report him
self, to the great establishment of that
ambassador. They both agreed that if
the Roman police had not scented out
the head of the greatest police force in
the world, they could not be depended
upon to know much about the goings on
or anarchists and nihilists Nicholas is
glad to be, they say, relieved of the
WEAKNESS of an official visit to Rome,
but nettled at the hatred manifested by
the Italian socialists.

what is believed to be the most COM
plete collection of anthropoid apes ever
owned by one person. The specimens
were obtained from various sources ana
prepared by the German taxidermlst'
Umlauff. Among them is fine specl-
men of that rarely secured animal, the
gorilla. On account Of it's immense
strength and ferocity when cornered II
has been most difficult even to obtain
dead specimen OF the gorilla family,
it being necessary to risk life in order
to track it to it's lair in the interior OF
Africa. The specimen secured by Dr.
Biddle was shot by venturesome Ger
man, George Zenker, near the Yaunde
station, Western Africa, little to the
north of the equator.

ape is far from the human ideal Of a

When he can, the gorilla will run
from man, and as no one has been
particularly anxious to come to close
quarters with him, it is not possible to
speak with assurance of his mode OF
life. 1t is said that he travels for the
most part on all tours, and only rises
on his hind legs to resist attack. 1t
is also said that he builds himself q
home in the trees.
The collection contains three speci-
mems of the chimpanzee. One is the

called the Koola Kamba.

CUPID IN THE
ELEVATOR *
By Carroll Watson Rankin

THE inhabitants were chary OF IN
trusting themselves to the elevator
in Bailey Mansions, for it was OF SO I'M
stable character that the initiated hao
lost all confidence in it as means OF
transportation.
Katherine, however, was not an IN
habitant. In her own home elevators
pursued the even tenor of their way
without vagaries of any sort; SO, When
her call on the top floor was completed,
with every reason to expect swift and
uneventful journey she stepped con-
fidently into the elevator.
At the fourth floor it stopped to ad-
NIT second passenger, man named
Westcott. Westcott differed from
Katherine in that he entered the cage
like apartment with full knowledge OF
it's treacherous tendencies, but West
colt was that morning in frame OF
mind to court disaster. He assured
himself as he stepped in that it was
matter of complete Indifference to him
whether the elevator shot suddenly up
ward and crashed through the skylight,
or dropped without warning into the
basement.
The elevator, however, did neither OF
these things. Under the guidance of
chubby, blue-eyed youth, it pursued its

RELIC OF THE PAST.
The Talamancans Forgotten Peo-
pie of the Isthmus.
Their Ancient Usages AID Customs
Have Not Been Affected by -Four
Centuries of Medieval Span
ish Civilization.

Within less than 100 miles OF where
the United States intends to complete
the greatest interoceanic ditch the
world has seen, in territory where the
newly created republic Of Panama is
situated, there dwells an Indian nation
that is to all intents and purposes
identically the same to-day as it was
when Columbus first discovered the
western hemisphere. These are the
Talamancans, who inhabit few square
miles in the mountains almost midway
between the two oceans and but COM
paratively short distance from the
Panama railroad, though it is much to
be doubted if they have ever seen it or
are aware of it's existence. The Scien-
tifc American says that although for
upward of four centuries the medieval
civilization of Spain has surrounded
them on all sides, they have neither
been contaminated by its influence nor
case in Cuba and other Spanish colonies.
Their language is still their own, and
seems to have lost little of its original
character through contact with the ex-
ecrable mixture of English, Spanish and
French spoken by the lower classes
throughout the West Indies and along
the Spanish Main. Living in virtually
an unknown region, at least three days
journey from the nearest settlement,
their solitude is seldom broken. The
visitor is received with the greatest hos
pitality, and is welcome as long as he
desires to remain. Their visits to the
outer world are infrequent, rarely ex-
tending beyond the nearest port, and are
undertaken only in quest OF luxuries.
Extra fowls and porkers are bartered on
these occasions for tobacco, gewgaws
and ammunition. The spear and blow
gun are used more than firearms for
various reasons. The former are not
only infinitely cheaper, but usually more
effective in the hands of the Indian than
the cheap muzzle-loading fowling piece
of French or German origin with its pa
per-like barrel-the only arm he can
afford to purchase besides the machete.
Their language and customs in some
respects resemble those of the score or
more of widely differing peoples that
are scattered over the territory lying
between the Mexican border and the
isthmus Their ancestors doubtless

In view of the negotiations now being
carried on between Russia and Japan,
the picture which we give here Of Corean
government officials is specially inter-
esting. At least 20 per cent. of the
whole population of Corea belongs TO
the official class, for every one wants to
live life of ease at the expense Of his
fellow countrymen, says Golden Penny.
A Corean government official does not
think SO much of the honor of serving
his country as of the opportunities he
has for effecting .'squeezes," that is to
say, the levying of blackmail, the re-
ceiying of brides from persons having
business with his superior, the right to
travel everywhere at the public expense.
and other "pickings" The government
appointments are open to competition.
SO every one ought to have an equal
chance. The successful candidates.
however, are usually those who pay the
best, or have the most interest. There
are eight governors Of provinces *
Coreo, and 1872 projects, and each OH
cial has. according to his rank or wealth
a body of secretaries, seal hearers, tai
gatherers, soldiers, police and 9th Il
