TRAMPS AND MOUNTAINS.
Geologist Declares Former Avoid
Hilly Country Where Farms Are
Few and Far Between.

"You never saw cat bathing in the
sea. You never saw tramp in noun
famous country. Each spectacle Is OF
equal rarity"
The speaker. geologist. smiled.
81 know what am taking about" he
said. 'In quest Of geological truths l
have travelled the country over many
times, and l have yet to find tramp
among the mountains. Tramps avoid
mountains as they avoid soap.
Hence New Hampshire, Vermont and
the other mountainous states are. singu-
larly free from petty thieving and from
all such troubles as hoboes cause. And
Hence, In those states. 1t is never neces-
sary to lock the doors or the windows.
"Tramps avoid mountainous districts
because the walking is all uphill there
and because the farms are few and far
between. A fertile and fat country,
with the roads good and the farms close
together, suits the tramp"

SPEAK ONLY FRENCH THERE
Natives of Some Sections Of Louisiana
Are Entirely Ignorant Of the
English Language.

Congressman Broussard, of Louisi-
ana, is, as his name indicates, Of
French descent. He never spoke Eng
lish until he went to Georgetown uni
versity. ut is curious" says Mr..
Broussard, how the French language
has remained the dominant tongue in
my part of the country.
Brought there by Arcadians Of
Nova Scotia in the eighteenth century,
it prevails to-day, and l believe al
ways will. Curoiusly enough, you
will find plenty of men in my district
with such unmistakably English
names as Jones and Hayes who can't
read, speak or write a word of Eng
lish.
Still funnier is the talk of the
black people. Their negro French
would be unintelligible on Paris, and
yet it is the softest, sweetest, most
musical speech l ever heard from hu.
man lips. 1t knows no grammar, but
it is the very essence of euphony and
melody"

Ingenuity of Nihilists.

Incredible ingenuity is exercised by
Russian nihilists in making, carrying
and Disgusting bombs. A chatelain bag
of beautiful woman may be an Internal
contrivance, which, on being hurled.
may send death and destruction over q
terrible radius. And a humble thing
like piece>of coal may also be as deadly
as the ordinary spherical bomb, and can
be loaded with enough explosive to
wreck building Of considerable size.
Its smallness makes 1t handy to carry.
and its exterior does not render It an
easy object Of suspicion. r

MILKMAN WAS TOO DARING
Used Customers Water to Increase
Quantity of Lacteal Fluid
on Delivery.

Julius Kruttschmitt, of San Fran
cisco, general manager of the South
ern Pacific railroad, recently gave out
the largest single order for steel rails
that the business world has ever
known, says the New York Tribune
A reporter, discussing this order
with Mr.. Kruttschmidt, called it a
daring" one.
No. said the railroad magnate,
smiling, there is nothing daring
about it. Daring things are those
that have in them something risky,
something insecure. For instance,
you might term daring the we'll
known action of Hanks, the milkman,
In the millionaire's house."
Hanks, the mllkman?" said the re-
porter, puzzled.
"Yes, Hanks, the milkman He
one morning forgot to water his milk.
In the back hallway Of his best Gus
toner he remembered this omission.
A huge tub of fine. clear water stood
on the floor by his side; there was
no one to spy on him, and thrice, be-
fore the maid brought up the jugs,
Hanks diluted his milk with a large
measure filled from the tub. Then he
served the young woman calmly and
went on.
las he was believing down the next
area, the first customers footman
beckoned to him. He returned and
was ushered into the presence of the
customer himself, millionaire.
Hanks said the gentleman, I pre-
fer hereafter to water my own milk.
Well, SIR said Hanks, it's useless
to deny the thing, for. suppose you
were watching me while

was watching you. But the fact is

Mukden, Nov. 21.-Four days oil
sharp cold has silenced the artillery
and infantry fire between. the oppos-

diers into their dugouts along the
entire intreached line Theapparent
impossibility OF either side to eject
the other from their burrows, and
the fact that in this event one side
succeeded in advancing it could not
dig the other out Of its environments

promise winters inactivity,

It seems impossible that either side,
In any case, could more than occupy

The wells along thu lines are dry
and both sides use the Shakhe river,
where the soldiers approach unarm-
ed and get water under recognized
mutual sanction not ofire on a lone

BUG GETS FINE TOBACCO.
Minute Insect Comes from Cuba in

the Cigars.

Don't you want some fine Havana

toner. Il am Just breaking up some
S0-eent cigars and the tobacco in them
ought to be pretty good"
He had a cigar box nearly full Of the
rich. dark-looking leaves, says the New
York Sun. The customer eyed them
laughingly for a moment and then
said. with a sigh:
Thirty cent cigars are just about
the size Of my taste. but a world too
big for my income"
mot at all" said the tobacconist,
cheerfully. IL am going to put this
tobacco in a paper bag and give 1t to
you without money and without price.
And here is one of the 30-cent cigars.
give you that also"
well" said the customer, you are
very kind. certainly. But 1t seems a
little queer. Do you give these little
handouts to everybody"
"Oh, I'm not at all buggy" said the
clerk. laughing. "The bug is in the
cigar, not in my upper story.
Look at your S0-cent cigar. Don't
you see those two little holes in the
side-right there in the middle OF the
cigars back. just where a fine cigar
smoke gets at Its best?"
Sure enough, there we're the holes.
They looked as though pin might
have been thrust into the back Of the
cigar.
"The bug made EN-" said the clerk.
Hes not much bigger than a flea
He is an epicure. too. He only comes
with the finest Havana leaves.
"He is so small that the cigarmaker
rarely sees him when he makes the
cigar The little beggar that ruined
that cigar was wrapped down in Cuba
when the cigar was made. Maybe the
egg out of which he was Matched was
wrapped up.
AT all events he got there, and
when one of those bugs gets into a
cigar 1t is good-by cigar, and, gener-
ally speaking, it is good-by all the
other cigars in the box. The bug
worked his way out Of the cigar you
have through one of those two holes
in the side, Then he tackled all the
other cigars within reach.
"He wasn't satisfied with making
the hole he came out Of in the cigar
you have. He made another hole and
worked back into 1t again. Maybe
there were more bugs than one in
this particular box. Anyway the bug
or bugs did the business for the whole
lot.
"Out of % 30-cent cigars that came
In this box from Cuba there were just
seven that were not ruined, so far as
sale is concerned. The one you have
was about as little damaged as any.
IF you put little piece Of paper
over the holes you can smoke the ci.
gar all right. Its flavor is not. dam
aged. But we never could sell It
When we have a box thus affected
there is nothing to do but break up
the cigar into smoking tobacco and
give 1t away.
at is all a dead loss to us when a
box of cigars is thus ruined. We can't
get back to the person who sold the
cigars to us. We have to take the
chance of the bug and pocket the loss.

to the De Peyster family, From him
1t was learned that it was the third
robbery of the house. On the last oc-
casion he said $4,000 worth Of Jew
elry was taken. He fully identified
King, who is wandering tanner. and
William johnson Of Hudson, who is a
