ENGLISH LACK ' EMOTION
Instances Which Demonstrate That Anglo-Saxons Have Little Sense
 I of the Ludicrous.

Anglo-Saxons are apt to pride them selves upon being undemonstrative, de- clares a London exchange. Max Adler tells tale of boy who was sent out by his father to bring in some wood. The boy took the opportunity of disap- bearing and did not show his face again beneath the parental roof for over 2e years. Then one evening a smiling, well-dressed stranger entered to the old couple and announced himself as their long-lost child.
 sWell, you haven't hurried yourself, " grumbled the old man, land blarm me if now you haven't forgotten the wood. !"

 He finished his soup and leisurely wiped his mustach before strolling across and shaking hands. They talked for awhile, then my friend returned to me.

RAW OYSTERS HEALTHFUL ]?
Question as to Who1esomeness of Bi- valve Brings Scoring to
 the Dealers.

Oysters are plentiful to an extent that has caused them to be replanted in the beds in some parts of the coast, after they had been carried to market and found unstable, comments the New port News How much the connection between typhoid fever and raw oysters has to do with the overstocked markets there is no telling. Some scientists hold the oyster as not guilty of carrying in lection, but oystermen here and abroad have been found to be given to the habit of keeping oysters in water rich in sew age, and it has given the bivalye a bad name. There is no doubt but some oys- ters are the healthiest sort of food when eaten raw, but who can tell the con taminated? If a goose has been Killed. to the loss of many golden eggs, as 1t is feared has happened in the raw oyster
 business, it is the fault of few of the ignorant or interruptions, and the oys- termen must find their way out of the difficulty as best they can. The public appetite for raw oysters was all that could be required by the interest of the oyster gatherers. It has lessened be- cause public confidence has been abused.

SNAKE FROM GREAT SPIRIT
Ratt1er Glides Into Seminole Council
 Circle and Indians Call It Messenger.

Great consternation was created among the members of the Seminole council at Wewoka, I. T., recently when a large rattlesnake glided into the tent where the assemblage was being ad- dressed by the attorney of the nation, Capt. A. J. McKennon Capt, McKen- non was about to kill the snake when one of the councilmen stopped him, ex- plaining in broken English. Him rat tesnake; he came to Seminole council; no other snake do that He sent by Great Spirit. He go south, that mean Mexico. We must all go Mexico soon. 2
 The captain was told that the rattle snake had long been messenger to the Seminole tribe from the Great Spirit
 They told him that just before their fight with Jackson in the south, many moons ago, great rattlesnake crawled from the bank of lake and came into camp. The medicine men assembled and told the members of the tribe that great trouble was about to come upon them. They would have a great fight
 and, as the snake went west. part oi the tribe would be driven west They said that the rattlesnake had been looked upon as messenger ever since

VAST SUM FROM TOURISTS
Switzerland Annually Collects Thirty Million Dollars for Entertainment
 of Foreign Guests.

It needed painstaking German to figure for us set of statistics long de- sired, but of a sort that nobody cared to tackle the tedium or the difficulty of computing them. These figures are the annual number of tourists in Europe and the, amount of money they spend, The Germans estimates. cover the totals in both items, and, large as their num- Der is, the Americans do not constitute quite the whole of the globes yearly nomad population. But .shat quantity of Americans do visit the old world and what amount of money they leave there may be guessed rom this Germans com putations. Switzerland entertains through the year 5000 ,0o0 visitors, who spend $30,000,o0o. Italy, the Riviera and Spain between them attract an ex- penditure of $60,Oo0.O00. The various great capitals in all cull $45, ,o00, ,O00 that come from the pockets of the goo, 900 visitors to Paris, the 6o0,000 to London, the 500,000 to Berlin and the 350,000 to Vienna.

HORSES RACE WITH TRAIN
Erisky Equines Jeopardize Lives of Passengers on Fennsylvania
 Road by Queer Franks.

A pair of frisky horses. escaped from pasture, persistently stopped 3 Pennsylvania railroad express train near Pottsville, and by running ahead of the train in long tunnel, jeopar- dized the lives of 100 passengers. The engineer noticed the horses on the track as he pulled out into the sub urbs of Pottsville. Appearing to en- joy a race with the train, the footing of the whistle failed to scare them from the track, and for 8 long dis tance the spectacle was presented of a fast train preceded by two splendid horses going at breakneck speed. It was an ideal contest between steel and steam and flesh and bone. Twice the train was stopped and the horses chased away, but each time the anil malls returned. A tunnel between Pottsville and St Clair was finally reached, through which the horses sped, with the engine close behind, the whistle screeching continually, a wreck possible if they were struck. At the St. Clair station the horses were still gailoping ahead, and it was nec- essary to lasso them to give the train a clear right of way.

American Shoes Abroad.

We do not seem to be making as large the years of 1899 and 1901. when the in crease per year was over S1 ,000, 900, but this gradual growth shows that our footwear is giving satisfaction and is wanted abroad, says the Boston Com lnercial Bulletin. Our shoe manufac- turers have been faithful in their work manship, and have given goods up to sample. This, with the fact that the styles have taken the fancy of the for eigu trade, has done much to build up our foreign trade.

BERLIN NOW THIRD CITY.
From Mere Village of Century Ago German Capital Has Nearly
 2,ooo, ,ooo People.

Berlin, mere village century ago, is the third city in Europe in point of population, and it's growth since 1870 has been phenomenal. Yet the tech nical barriers which enclose the city remain precisely what they were more than 40 years ago, and Berlin is still as 1t was in 1861, compressed within 2S square miles At the close of the, Franco Prussian war, Berlin, now the capital of new empire. became paradise Streets of houses appeared almost as if by magic, and the whole aspect of the city became changed. From being the worst lighted, worst drained and ugli- est capital in Europe, it became one of the finest, cleanest and handsomest of cities, and it's population has more than doubled. Berlin now boasts within it's boundaries .857, ,000 inhabitants. Greater Berlin might have population of 2,430,000, with an area at least treble, extending, indeed, as far as Potsdam. Berlin's actual increase from 1900 to 1900 was SIS per cent, multiplying it's population by nine.

 ''And look at her reward!' said Ire land, with deep sigh. Those who try to do their best always come off worst. loved your mother, George, and have been a lonely man all my life.'
 1t was sad case George wished to get at the truth, but he was so sorry for Ireland, who had passed so many miserable years, that he did not like to .inflict more pain. Nevertheless it was necessary to learn if Ireiand had really visited Mrs. Jersey on that night so as to set Bawdsey's mind at rest If George did not learn the truth Bawd- sey might attempt tho discovery, and he would handle the old man in n much worse manner than George was likely to do. While pondering how he could set about his unpleasant task George was saved from making the first step, always the most difficult, by an observation from Ireland, which paved the way. to an explanation.
 How did you discover the church ?"s he asked idly.
 Tn rather queer way. Lola Velez'-
 Ireland opened his eyes. which had been closed. and looked up. "Who Is Lola Eelez?" he asked anxiously.
 "She is dancer whom helped-oh, quite in proper way, Mir. Ireland. You know the name?, Ireland, contrary to Georges expec- tation, nodded. There was q woman in San Reno about the time of your fathers death. She was called Velez and was in love with him." He seems to have been a fascinat- ing man., said George, smiling, to set Ireland at his ease But this Lola is the daughter of the woman you men ton. It was she who found the church.
 By this time Ireland was quite awake and keenly anxious for details. "How did she learn its name?' he de manded quickly.
 .'She found 1t in the confession of Mrs. Jersey"
 Ireland snapped the paper cutter he was holding, and, leaning back in his chair, looked anxiously at George sWhat do you mean2'

 "So Bawdsey told me-
 "Bawdsey. Who is he?"
 ssI forgot you don't know. He is detective who has been looking after the case on behalf of Lord Darlington. learn from the confession of Mrs. Jersey that he is her husband"
 George Rates. I remember. She told me she married him and went to America. 1t was after her return from America that she tried to get money out of me. I refused. Not that did not realize the danger to which she could expose me. but knew that if I once yielded would be in her power. Besides, I had defense, as she got the stiletto from the woman VeIez.''
 "And it was with that same stiletto that Mrs. Jersey was killed"
 By whom?'' asked Ireland. t4Did her husband''-
 .tNo. We do not know who killed her. Perhaps you may knoW?"
 'Iw Ireland looked genuinely sur prised. "No. How should I know P
 'tWell,' said George, rather awk wardly, .'it seems that Bawdsey has got 1t into his head that you knew about this confession. That you were afraid it would be published after her death and that you went to the house on that night to get it. He doesn't ex- actly accuse you of the murder, butt
 "I don't know what else you would call his statements but accusations, retorted Ireland, with some heat, "but never was near the house. I certain ly thought that Mrs. Jersey might leave some such confession, but nev- CT asked her about it.
 'Then you cannot guess who killed her?'
 No. was never near the house. l was in bed and asleep. My servants will tell you so.''
 .I need not ask them," said George quickly. T never thought you were guilty, and I only came to receive your assurance so that might tell Bawdsey and prevent him troubling you.'' .sIf Bawdsey comes here I'll soon make short work of him. said Ireland sharply 1T am not afraid.~ 1 You need not be Mrs. Jerseys own confession exonerates' you.''
 T don't mind even that. I would have faced the worst had it to be faced. I never was coward except in one thing" He paused and looked tim l idly at George. T shrank from telling you how was the unhappy cause of your fathers death.'
 You were not the cause, in my opin I ion. Mrs. Jersey was the cause"
 Well, thought you would shrink | from me did you know all.'' T do know all and do not shrink l from you," replied George, leaning l across the desk to shake Ireland's hand. Ut was a pure accident and has been related by your enemy 1 II am so glad tue truth is known to i you at last,'' faltered the old man, ''and that you see how unconsciously I

 we are the best of friends, MT. Ire land. You have always been kind to me. am afraid my visit has been too much for you
 .sNo. I am glad you came. I am glad you spoke out always intended to do so, but feared lest you should blame me-
 By this time they were ascending the stairs. George conducted the old man to his room and sent for the doc tor. Ireland undressed and got to bed Then he insisted on George leaving him.
 "But you are ill., protested the young man.
 T am dying. But what of that? am glad to die. I shall meet Rosina again after long, long years of sorrow. Go, George. We understand one an other, and you have forgiven me. There is no more to be said.',
 There is nothing to forgive" replied George softly Then, to humor his old guardian, he departed. A strong grip of the hand was exchanged between them., George left the room and saw Ireland lying as still as any corpse. Only his lips moved, and they mur- nured continuously, "Rosina, RosinaY' He was true to the woman he loved to the very end.
 George left the house, as there was nothing he could do, but he intended to call ill again. Meanwhile he repaired to Amelia square to see Bawdsey. Darlington wished him to tell the de- tective to stop looking after the case and discharge him from his employ ment. In his pocket George had . check for BLOOD, and when this was paid the whole case was to be relegat- ed to obscurity. The sooner Bawdsey married Lola and went to America the better, Darlington thought. And for his own sake Bawdsey would hold his tongue, seeing what a close connection he was of the dead woman.
 Bawdsey was at home and saw George at once He looked rather ex- cited and could hardly keep his seat. Well, MT. Brendon," he asked, what is it?''
 T should rather ask you that" said George You seem excited"
