REAr rHE RARTENDER.

A part of Secretary Hays boyhood was passed in Indiana and at dinner |party recently said:
 "In the Indiana town of Salem there fused to live a broken-down old fellow named James Hart. Hart had once |been prosperous real estate agent, but drink had ruined him utterly.
 ''He entered one afternoon a certain tavern and he asked the landlord to give him drink of whisky on trust.
 Jim, I'm sorry said the landlord, but it's the rule here never to trust for |liquor.'
 "Hart turned to a farmer who was Isitting by the stove.
 Friend, he said, lend me dime, Twill you?
 " Sure the farmer answered, and he handed over the coin readily.
 Now let me have that whisky Hart said to the proprietor.
 ''He got the drink and swallowed it. Then he walked over to the farmer.
 !" Here is the dime owe you he said, Degraded as I am. I always make it point to repay borrowed mon- ey before I settle my liquor bills.' = New York Times.

I. .eadow. I did not disturb her, but watched her from distance until she had deposited her eggs in hole which she made with her big claws in the side of a sand heap. After she had covered up her treasures, I uncovered them again, and counted over twenty spheri- cal eggs. about the size of the large white alleys which boys use as shoot ers'' in marble time Then I overlook my old friend on her way back to the pond, and tested the strength and sharpness of her jaws, by holding out to her a green twig about the thickness of my little finger. With marvellous speed her head would shoot out the savage jaws would meet and. with click like that made by the pruning shears, she shipped off pieces of the twig, an inch at time. Then turned her over on her back, and watched fine exhibition of muscular strength, as, with her long neck for a lever, she turned her huge bulk clean over on the grass.
 The next time I met her, was walk ing along a little stream which runs into the pond. I could see some large object moving down the stream just below the surface, but it was minute or more before I was sure it was snap ping turtle. As soon as I saw the tail trailing behind, leaned over and took hold of it. Such a scramble that turtle made for it's liberty, digging it's claws into the bed of the brook, and kicking with all it's might. But out it came at last, and was interested to find by my private mark that it was the same old snapper I had bought in the square nearly three years before. Since then I have caught her several times; each time experimenting with her until I learned some new habit or some new trait in her character. Whatever else may be said of her character, she is not deceitful. She is nasty tempered and she looks it. She hates me in spite of the fact that once saved her life, and she never seeks to mislead me about it. And I respect her, not so much for this as for the strength of her jaws, and show my respect by keeping my hands well out of her reach.

MAKING FIRE INDIAN FASHION


 How do the Indians make fire without matches?" asked the boy who loved to play Indian" Most of us have heard the answer to this: ''The Indians used a flint and steel, as our own fa- thers and mothers did one hundred years ago. and before they had flint and steel they used rubbing sticks" We have all read about bringing fire out of two stocks by rubbing them together. but I find that most persons look upon this as sort of fairy tale, or, if they believe it to be true, they think it so difficulty as to be worth no second thought. All woodcrafters, find. are surprised and greatly interested to learn that not only is it possible. it is easy to make friction fire if you know how. I have taught many boys and men pert that they make it nearly as quick ly as with an old fashioned sulphur match. When I first learned from Wal ter Hough, who learned from the Indians, 1t took men from five to ten to get a blazing fire-not half an hour, as some books have it. But later I got it down to a minute, then to thirty-one seconds, from the time of taking up the rubbing sticks to having a fine blaze, the time in getting the first spark being about six seconds.-Ernest Thompson Seton, in Country Life in America.

HEIRS OF LIVE MAN SUE.

Although Nathan Greenman, of Ham, den, is still living, his prospective heirs are already quarreling over the $2.000 policy given on his life on September 2S, 1S49, by the Connecticut Mutual Life
 Insurance company, a phase of the diff ficulty being noted in the superior court yesterday. when Judge Wheeler over ruled the defendants demurrer in the action of Charles F. Clark, administra- tor of the estate of Julia A. Greenman, against Nathan w. Greenman and the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company.
 In this action suit is brought to re- cover $1,4OO from Nathan W. Green
 man, son of Nathan and Julia A.
 Greenman, on note for $5SO drawn on
 April l, 1878. Injunction is also sought restraining the insurance company
 from paying any part of the policy to
 it's co-defendant, should old MT. Green
 man die.

JosEPH's WELL.

At Dothan, in upper Palestine, is a pool which has refreshed the traveller for centuries It is the well of Joseph. Its environs form a dreary enough pros- pect--above it low, insignificant hill, upon whose summit cluster a few mis- erable mud huts, and at the base is the corded anachronism of a puffing steam mill, while away from it stretches in all directions the faint toned, almost hue less, expanse of the Syrian landscape, long reaches of palest blue and gray and yellow, with only an occasional blotch of brilliant color in the foreground. Dreary and waste, and sad, indeed, is the scene to the eyes of the flesh: but, to the eyes of the spirit, that squat, bald hill becomes veritable Mount of Visions-visions thousand times more real and vivid than the spectacle of mud huts, and steam mill, and rocky wastes.-N. W. Woodrow, in the Met ropolitan.

A SWAPPING TURTLE.

The merciless, coldly blinking eyes are set close together near the top, and as you look at them you know exactly what to expect from the horny jaws beneath, in case you are ever so unfortunate as to allow your hand to come within reach of them. Wonderful jaws these are; their knife-like edges, with the quick moving, enormously-powerfu muscles behind them, make them suggest a steel trap and a pair of pruning shears com bined. To complete her beauty" she has a thick, tapering tail, covered with smooth scales beneath, but with a ridge of long, horny teeth along the top.

INVASION OF MEXICO

The extent of the American commer- cial invasion of Mexico is not always realized. A year ago it was officially reported that more than 1,100 American companies were doing business in Mex lico. Of the capital from this country Invested there, about 70 per cent. is placed in railroads. All of the lines ex- lcepting those connecting the capital with Vera Cruz and the National Te- huantepec railway are owned or con- trolled by Americans. Eighty per cent lof all Mexican railway property is held lin the United States. Eighty millions Iof American dollars are engaged are engaged in Mexican mines, principally in Lonora, Chihuahua and Durango. The mining outputs of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, amounted to $k45.- |00c, ,000-valued in silver-being an in-
 crease of nearly 50 per cent. over any preceding year. In the same time near
 ly 5000 new mining enterprises, or r per cent. of the whole, were launched
