theme Examples could be multiplied. The mighty Caesar was bald. Judge Alton B. Parker. the democratic candi- oate, has a suspiciously high forehead. Robert Louis Stevenson parted his hair m the middle. So did the illustrious Thomas Jefferson, James Russell Low ell and George William Curtis. The portrait of Premier Arthur J. Balfour before us shows the fatal part In the middle. Incredible as it may seem, Ralph Waldo Emerson parted his hair on the right side.

swINDLER MET HIS MATCH.


 The classical confidence trick has beer neatly played on a would-be swindle1 by his intended victim. The latter, a cook on a transatlantic liner, had been done himself before, and was too old a bird to be caught again, He struck UT an acquaintance with an engaging but obviously sham American millionaire in the train to Paris, cont1ding 10 him that he had forty thousand francs in his bag, and meant to amuse himself on the boulevards.
 Well met, indeed" said the million aire; T have also made my pile, and intend seeing the merry side of life in gay Paree." They started the evening with an expensive dinner paid for by the American millionaire. At coffee the latter exclaimed: "Hullo, I have not any cigars; suppose you go and buy some. You can leave your bag here, where it will be quite safe. But, as you might be suspicious, here's my pocket book. Keep it till you join me again." As soon as the cooks back was turned the American millionaire of course bolted with the bag, but the lat ter only contained old newspapers and the cooks card, with the words: q have been here before: you have met your match this time" In the would be swindler's pocketbook was a sum of twenty-fouT pounds in French notes, which the cook took to the police sta= ton, asking the officer to whom he told his tale with understandable relish to give the money to the poor.-London Telegraph.

WHY HE QUIT THE FARM

It is not difficult to sympathize with
 the dejected. middle-aged man who re- gently turned up at the office Of a Bslti-
 mole steamship company and applied for work. In the course of the exam,na-
 tion conducted by the pier boss. the
 question was asked: Why don't you try farning?'' The dejected man. with the light of a bitter memory in his eyes
 and withal a wistful note. replied: q did do farrnin' for long while down in Virginny, and it was all right as long IS

Rewards mean nothing to him, as he explained. Once he proposed to sell himself to his old employer down in "Virsinny." Its the truth.'' he as- serted. Before my boss died I come to him one day and wanted to sell him my service for S1 1000 till one or totfer of us died. He studied adn studied and then said he didn't want to buy me. If he had bought me would be worth sl .oO0 right now. Just how he would have met the cold world, and the widows fast walking horses, and the active COW If he had sold himself is not explained.

tinuel, however, to hold his position.
 !" After reinforcing Solomky with two battalions, and afterwards with two and three-quarters battalions, and de- siring to centralize the command of these troops, dispatched Colonel Polo- witch Lepovatz with orders to take command of all troops engaged in that position.
 The fusilade continued on our right, and without becoming threatening. Our artillery continued to crush the enemy's artillery with It's fire, although the Japanese had brought mountain and field guns into action.
 At $40 p. m. II received report that a regiment posted at the extreme right flank had retired from it's position in the maountains, having had its flank turned. Six disabled guns were aban- doned. Two officers were killed and two wounded, and the commander of a battery was injured.
 :" Before this had happened the Jan- anese had placed two more batteries on the left of those which had previously taken up their position there, and with their batteries on the extreme left they began to bombard our battery AS well as to enfilade the right flank of our for nation. This was the cause of the de- struction of our battery and the serious loss of troops on our right flank.
 The battery was completely shat tered, but at the beginning of the action we succeeded in saving four guns. while four others were left on the field, com pletely disabled. Of these four. how ever, two had to be spiked and aban- doned owing to lack of horses.
 With the view of distracting the attention of the Japanese from 6ur right directed Colonel Lepovatz at 5 o'clock. when the heat had diminished, to order that soldiers take off their equipment and assume the offensive.
 To support this offensive movement ordered our batteries to open hot fire on the ridges held by the Japanese The fire of our guns which had nra- ,iously bombarded this point was rnu,.s

 The battle began under the most favorable auspices for us. The first report I received was from Lieutenant Colonel Solomky, who informed me that he was tenaciously holding his position, although he had many wounded. or- dered at first two companies, and then a battalion, to reinfirce him, although he did not ask for support.
 Simultaneously with the attack on the heights, the center of our position, the Japanese directed an attack against Major General Mistchenko's detach- ment and against our right flank.
 : Tn the beginning of the fighting the superiority of our artillery over that of the Japanese was shown. Not only did our batteries silence the Japanese guns previously in position, and abso- lutely prevent them leaving their po- sitions. but the batteries sustained no loss and were able to develop their fire at their leiesure.
 At 10 o'clock received the follow ing note from Lieutenant Colonel so- lolnly:
 .'The Japanese turning movement has been stopped, the enemy sustain ing ernomous losses. We have many wounded Captain Golitinisky was killed. The wounded included two of fcers and q surgeon. am making firm stand..'

THE STRATEGY or A WEASEL.

THE STRATEGY OF A WEASEL.
 "A weasel is a wizard as well as a fighter, and often wins his battles by strategy" said EnRmet Wolfe of Mis- sissippi. Il was recently in a fishing camp that was near large stack of lumber. It seemed that a large num- Der of rats inhabited the cool crevices under the lumber pile, and one day a weasel put in It's appearance, We had the pleasure of seeing battle royal every day for several days, and by and by the weasel had killed every rat in the colony except one which was nearly as large as cat.
 They fought several times a day, and the weasel always got the worst of it. One day we noticed 1t industriously digging a hole under the woodpile, and thought little of 1t. A little later we saw it challenge the rat to battle, and as soon as the fight began to warm up the weasel suddenly turned tail and sneaked to the hole like all possessed. The rat followed in hot pursuit and both disappeared in the mouth of the weasels hole. It was only twinklng until the weasel reappeared, and flashed into the hole again
 We watched long time, and neither animal appeared. Finally we moved the wood and dug out the weased's hole. We found the rat dead--and the weasel had dug itself out another way. The weasel had trapped the rat and killed it at leisure, the hole being too small at one end for the rat to escape, which the weasel knew all the while. e."-Louis- vile Courier-Journal

CAT ADOPTED ORPHAN cooNs.

CAT ADOPTED ORPHAN COoNS.
 Colonel l.. L. Hawkins yesterday
 secured new prize for his collection of
 weird and wonderful exhibits at the city museum, in Portland, Ore. The
 doughty colonel has exceiled himself in
 his latest acquisition, and, if one de- sires to see such bizarre thing as a
 pussy cat mothering a litter of young raccoons he may be gratified at the lcity hall. All previous happy family records have been broken by an old mother cat rejoicing in a family of two
 baby coons and her own proper kitten, which Colonel Hawkins secured at Bea- yerton, and has now comfortably in- stalled at the museum.
 A few days ago some boys killed a female raccoon near Beaverton, and upon beating athe bush discovered her nest with four little ones in it clamor- ing for their mother. The baby coons were taken to the home of Mrs. B. T.. Grifitts, near by, where a cat was rearing a family of four kittens. The kittens were given to another feline, in which the maternal instinct was strong. and the little coons substituted without protest from the mother In short time two of the little wild kittens died, but the other pair thrived in their new environment, and the story of the cat with the coon family became some thing of sensation in the neighbor- hood.
 Colonel Hawkins heard of 1t and made the twenty mile drive out and back for the purpose of bringing the wonder to Portland Mrs. Grifitts finally consented to lend the family to the museum, and as an evidence of good faith one of the kittens was brought along with the little coons to complete the picture of mixed domes- ticity.-Portland oregonian.

SOME EMINENT DEGENERArEs

Professor Starr, of the University of Chicago, is credited with finding evil dence of degenerate race in parting the hair in the middle or on the right side, badness, gray hair before the age of, forty-fve, 8 snub nose, small ears, big lips, left-handedness, red hair, teeth set wide apart and pigeon toes. A Chi cago contemporary jeeringly remarks that this is the most sensational an- nouncement which has come from the university, which is saying good deal" Our contemporary finds solid comfort in the fact that Socrates be- longed to the baldheaded class; that Milton parted his hair in. the middle, and that the reyered Thomas Jefferson had red hair. This is suggestive
