Mt1takea Identity.

The wearied fat hunter pushed long
and persistently at the button labeled
"Janitor." The house bore a sign stat
ing that there were apartments to rent.
The janitor was evidently absent from
his post Of duty, as there was no
response to her repeated ringing. q
Disheartened, the seeker for home
was about to turn away when the door
was opened from the inside and, a
bright faced boy of about seven years
was disclosed. He looked wonderingly
at the visitor, who asked: ~
"What kind Of an apartment is there
for rent here"
A look Of mingled disgust and scorn
slowly overs1read the youngsters face.
BE surveyed the questioner from head
to foot and finally said with an az.
grieved air:

ODD FACTS ABOUT COLOR,

One of Them II That There Ia No
Food That Is Blue.
Did you ever notice that there is no
blue food? We eat things green, red
yellow and violet; flesh, fish or plants
in all the colors of the rainbow except
blue.
Many deadly poisons are blue in COL
or, such as bluestone or the deadly
nightshade flower. The color stands in
| our slang for everything miserable and
depressing.
But this is only one of thousand
queer facts about colors.

Of the metal are set in motion, shak-

Presently the surrounding ether is set
in motion In large, slow waves through
the air, like the waves of the sea, until

the sensation Of heat. AS the iron gets
| hotter other waves are set in motion in
immense numbers, travelling at more
than lightning speed, and these break
upon the eye. giving US the sensation
of red light.

If you walk backward, the errand

ORIGIN OF "klCKERS,"
Supposed to Come From an Occupa-
ton In Cornish Mines.

supposed to Come From an Occupa-
ton In Cornish Mines.
Il believe that the origin Of the ex-
pres>ive bit Of slang 'k!ckers' may be
found in the very lowest form of occu-
patton any member Of the human race
follows" w. NJ. Robinson states.
Between Wormsley's and St. Helen's,
In Cornwall, is an underground canal
connecting the lower levels of the coal
mines at Wormsley's with the surface
station at st. Helen's which saves a
great deal Of money for the mine
owners In handling the coal, which is
simply loaded on the barges in the
mines and transported by the canal
under the mountains to the harbor ut
st. Helen's. When the canal was de-
vised, however, how to provide for
locomotion for these barges was a prob.
LEM
Mules couldn't be used, and there
were circumstances which made steam
impossible, but an inventive genius
finally solved the riddle by suggesting
that cross pieces of timber be placed
along the roof Of the canal, which was
very low, and men could lie on their
backs on top of the loaded barges and
kick the vessel along. After the barge
was once started this was found to be
fea sible
The men could easily keep the load
in motion by the means suggested, and
1t has ever since been in use There
is no question about the low grade of
this sort Of work, and even the men
who follow it are constantly kicking
around the villages where they live.
They were known at the mines official
" as 'kickers' because of their work.
and their vocal complaints, continually
INDUCED in, caused every one at
Wormsley's or st. Helen's, no matter
what their station or employment, who
INDUCED in complaints to be called
k1ckers.' l presume that the origin
Of the word, as we use it, is just what
l have suggested" Louis Globe

A SPY'S CLOSE CALL.
Rescued From impending Death by
Clever Newspaper Ruse.

Rescued From Impending Death by .
Clever Newspaper Ruse.
On the battlefield of Antletam Mr..
Mcclure met General William J. Palm
er, then captain, and strongly urged
him not to continue his movements as
spy after Lee had crossed into Vir-
ginia, but the gallant young soldier
gave no promise as to what he would
be likely to do, and the very first night
after Lee crossed the Potomac he was
again in Lees camp and brought back
important information to General Nc
Clellan.
Again he returned and entered the
Confederate lines, and when he did not
report after week it was assumed
that he had been captured and would
probably be executed as a spy. He
had been captured, was tried and con-
demned as spy and sentenced to he
executed, but he was saved by a clever
newspaper device determined upon
after conference in Philadelphia be-
tween President j. Edgar Thomson of
the Pennsylvania railroad, Colonel Scott
oAu Nht. "SNiulC lOOk special
interest in Palmer, as he had been his
secretary, and was much attached to
him.
1t was decided that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all of
the Philadelphia morning papers an
nouncing the arrival at the capital Of
Captain William ]. Palmer stating in
what particular lines of the enemy he
had operated, and adding that he had
brought much important information
that could not be given to the public
at that time. These dispatches APP
peared next morning in all the Phia-
delphia papers, prominently displayed,
and of course reached the southern
lines within forty-eight hours.
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended. In little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there
was vacancy made in the list of the
exchanged men by death. Palmer's
friends had him take the place and
name Of the dead soldier, and be thus
escaped and returned to the service

An Odd Court Incident,

Sensational incidents are not uncom-
mon In the closing stages Of famous
criminal trials. One of the most re-
markable occurred in Melbourne on the
last day Of the trial of Ned Kelly
known as the 'ironclad bushranger OF
Australia" A knife dropped from q
gallery overhead and fell at the feel
Of the desperate in the dock. He had
every temptation to grasp it and put
an end to his existence. for there was
not the slightest chance Of his escap.
ing the gallows. But it was promptly
picked up by bailiff, and it's owner
was arrested and brought before the
Judge. He pleaded that the occurrence
was purely accidental. and the explana.
ton was accepted by the court

Why They Smiled.

Brother Jones was noted for his long
and laborious prayers. and although
the good people of the church respect
ed him they were not at all pleased
to hear him pray in meeting. The
new ministe~ was not aware of Broth
er Jones' unpopularity as a prayer"
so he had no idea why a ripple Of
amusement passed over the congrega-
ton when, after hymn had been sung,
he said, F~other Jones will lead us

so PER CENT OF THE ADULT Pop
ULATION SUFFER FROM ONE
PAINFUL AILMENT.

Think what this means. Imagine the
amount of misery that exists and is endured
simply because people do not know there is
an absolute cure.
The only way to cure any complaint is to
remove the cause. There are very few dis
eases or ailments that can be cured by ex-
tenal application-and piles is not one of
them. Piles can be cured; the treatment
must, however, be internal, for the cause of
piles is an internal disorder of the liver or
the bowels. Even catarrh of the stomach
and bowels can be cured by DR.. PERKINS,
PILE SPECIFIC, The Internal Remedy.
Here is an instance of what this practically
infallible remedy will do:
DIR. c. A. Perrin, Helena, Mont-Dear
Sir: 1 have nearly finished the former bottle
of PERKINS, Pile Specific and am practically
well. My case was one which most physi-
clans would have pronounced incurable, as ]
was afflicted with dysentery and compelled
to 60 to the toilet room from three to five
times each day and each time would bleed
from one-half to one teacupful I had to
resort to bandages and absorbent cotton to
check the flow of blood, and now the past
ten or twelve days there has been no sign Of
bleeding and my appetite is good; have
gained ten pounds in weight and feel like
new lease of life was given me.
Very truly yours,
