BARNEY HAD BEEN OBsERvANT.-
They called him Barney the Blunder-
err because he made 50 many mis-
takes. He had been working for a
coal dealer about six months, and was
an earnest, honest soul, but he did not
seem to learn anything concerning the
details of the business.
One morning, after having delivered
coal to two wrong addresses, he was
rather short and crusty in answering
a regular customer, so the proprietor
discharged him. saying: 60 to the
Office and get your money. I've been
as patient with you as 1 could be, but
you are too thick-headed to ever learn
anything"
"All roight, sir" answered Barney
"Mebbe Dim tick-headed, as .yez say,
but Orve learned wan ting annaway."
IF you have really learned one
thing, and learned IL well. I'll not dis
charge you." said the proprietor ban
teringiy. "Now, tell me what you have
learned"
"Ofve learned, sor, that seventeen
hundred makes ton in this place." re-
piled Barney, and he went back to
work.-Lippincott's.

CAUGHT WOLF WITH HIS HAND.
The President Tells How a Hunter Ae.
complished the Feat.

compIished the Feat.
In a couple of miles I was close
enough to see what was going on.
But one greyhound was left with Alb
ernethy. The coyote was obviously
tired and Abernethy with the aid of
his perfectly trained horse. was help
ing the greyhound catch 1t.
Twice he headed 1t, and this enabled
me to gain rapidly. They had reach
ed a small unwooded creek by the time
I was within fifty yards; the little wolf
tried to break back to the left: Aber-
nethy headed 1t and rode almost over
1t; an0 1t gave wicked snap at his
foot, cutting the boot. Then he wheel
ed and came toward 1t; again 1t gal
loped back, and just as it crossed the
creek the greyhound made rush, pin
ned 1t by the hind leg and threw It.
There was a scuffie then yell from
the greyhound as the wolf bit 1t. At
the bite the hound let go and jumped
back few feet, and at the same mo-
ment Abernethy, who had ridden his
horse right on them as they struggled,
leaped off and sprang on top Of the
wolf. He held the reins Of the horse
with one hand and thrust the other
with a rapidity and precision even
greater than the rapidity of the VOLTS
snap, into the VOLTS mouth, jamming
his hand down crosswise between the
jaws seizing the lower jaw and bend
ing 1t down so that the wolf could not
bite him.
He had a stout glove on his hand,
but this would have been of no avail
whatever had he not seized the animal
Just as he did, that Is behind the ca
mines, while his hand pressed the lips
against the teeth; with his knees he
kept the wolf from using its forepaws
to break the hold, until 1t gave up
When he thus leaped on
and captured this coyote It was entire
ly free, the dog having let go Of 1t,
and he was obliged to keep hold Of
the reins Of his horse with one hand.
I was not twenty yards distant at the
time, and as I leaped off the horse he
was sitting placidly on the live wolf,
his hand between its jaws. the grey
hound standing beside him and his
horse standing by as placid as he was.
In a couple of minutes Fortescue and
Lambert came up. 1t was as remark
able feat Of the kind as 1 have ever
seen.-Mr. Roosevelt in Scribner's

WOMAN STAlkED BY LIONS.
An Adventure With Six of the Big

An Adventure With Six of the Big
Brutes In East Africa.
Mrs. l.. Hinde, whose husband is
sub-commissioner Of the British East
Africa Protectorate. has had the re-
markable experience of being stalked
by lions, and the still more remarka-
BILE fortune of living to tell the tale.
1t was on the Uganda railway, in a
spot historic for the ravages Of man.
eating lions, that Mrs. Hinde met with
the thrilling adventure which she re-
lates.
Camping out, the party in which
Mrs. Hine was. could hear with horrid
regularity the screams Of the wretched
victims as they were carried off for
the man eaters nightly repast.
The camp was seventy miles from
the nearest connecting link with the
outside world, and communication had
to be kept up daily by native mail
runners. 1t was the habit of the lions
to keep pace in the long grass with the
runners on the track, and, having Sc
lected the most appetizing member of
the party, to pounce upon him and
carry him off into the bush.
On one occasion, when out map
making, Mr.. and Mrs. Hinde came up
on a party of a dozen lions, possibly
the man-eating troop. Mr.. Hinde fir
ed twice. dropping two Of the beasts.
He then suggested that Mrs. Hinde
should ride back to camp, while he
approached the two lions. who might
be dangerous, even though mortally
wounded.
After riding for half an hour Mrs.
Hinde looked back and saw six Of the
lions following her. The two native
gun-bearers ran away leaving her un-
armed, alone with her sails, an hour
from camp.
She rode off at a fast gallop, the sails
running at her side. In their path
arose an angry rhinoceros. which fled
from them on to the lions.
Mrs Hinde reached camp in safety.
while Mr. Hinde was held up by the
rhinoceros, on which he did not ven-
ture to fire for fear of turning 1t on

LAW AS TO SUGGESTIVE PosTALs.-In
view of the way the post card habit
has engrafted itself upon the country
the following paragraph from the Pos
tai Guide intended to restrain those
who would take advantage of the craze
for illegitimate purposes, is Of inter-
est:
"All matter which Is manifestly OBJ
scene, lewd or lascivious will
when deposited in postofflce, be
withdrawn from the mails and sent to
the dead letter Office"
Under this ruling every post card
bearing a picture or legend that is OBJ
scene, indecent or improperly sugges-
tive will be Immediately transmitted
to the dead letter Office. II there is any
doubt as to whether it Is sufficiently
Objectionable, it will be forwarded to
Washington, anyway. The postoffice
inspectors and the secret service Off
cials have little trouble In tracing the
card to its sender whether signed or
not, as a Spartanburg youth learned

States circuit court here the other day
