A DANGEROUS Question.

Assistant District Attorney William
Rand Jr., of New York, was talking
about the dislike that women have to
telling their age in court.
GAS rule" he said, "a woman, not
withstanding her disinclination, gives
her age civilly. Now and then, though,
she makes some caustfe comment
that strikes with unpleasant force the
lawyer questioning her. 1t is always
dangerous to ask a, woman how old
she is.
''In a New York court once heard
a lawyer examining a maiden lady.
He was by no means young, but he
strove to conceal his years. He wore
a wig and his mustache was dyed.
When he asked the lady her age she
bit her lip and frowned at him.
"'Your age, madam he repeated.
"She continued silent. She frown-
ed harder than ever:
Really, madam said the lawyer,
7 must insist upon your answering
my question. Obstinacy is useless
here. How old are your
"'Forty-three,' she said savagely.
How old are you, YOU fool? You look
about ninety"

A stronq Inducement.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
celebrated his birthday recently in
Philadelphia. A Philadelphia, during
a congratulatory call, said of him:

He won the liking of Senator Quay
by quaint little speech that he made
to the Republican leader during the
presentation of petition.
"This petition was laid before Mr.
Quay by delegation, whose spokes-
man was insufferably long-winded and
tedious. The man talked to the sena-
tor nearly an hour. Every one stood
during his speech, and it seemed that
it would never end.
when, finally, it did end, Mr.. Quay

again to you"

A Woman Policeman.

Another calling which has. been
opened to women is that of an officer
of the law, though it is doubtful if
many of the gentler sex enter this
new field. The city of Honolulu has
a woman filling this position, and she
is not only young and pretty but
wealthy. She is Miss Helen Wilder,
and her father is one of the great
sugar kings of the Pacific, worth sew
eral millions. It was her love Of chill
dren and animals which caused this
young woman of twenty-four to seek
this appointment. She is a mounted
officer and wears on her soft felt hat
the silver badge Of her calling. She
carries a revolver. Not long ago this
unusual young woman found that the
captain of vessel which had lately
put into port had for some slight Of
Tense locked his two little girls in a
cabin and kept them on bread and
water for three days. Alone she went
aboard the vessel and ordered the
protesting ruffian ashore, where he
was duly punished.

After all, says student of Nature,
the chief charm of the race of butter.
flies does not lie in their varied and
brilliant beauty, nor yet in their won
derful series of transformations, in
their long and sordid caterpillar life,
their long slumber in the chrysalis.
Nor does it lie in the fact that we
do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty Of sight or not, and do not
even know the precise use Of their
most conspicuous organ in maturity,
the antennae. Nor does it consist in
this-that they, Of all created things,
have furnished man with the symbol
of his own Immortality. It rather lies
in the fact that, with all their varied
life and activity, they represent an alb

Plea for an OFFERING.

There Is a difference between an Of.
fering and a collection in the mind Of
at least one well-known colored
preacher. who is persistent when he
announces that he wants money for
any certain object Not great while
ago, when It came time to announce
the collection. which is deposited on
the table in front of the pulpit In full
view of the minister. he said: II want
. Offering dis morning and not col.
lection. Maybe you don't know 1t, but
dere Is q difference between q collec.
ton and offering. A offering is
what You give out of your heart and
collection Is anything dat Is left over.
When you give a offering dere is more
heart In it than dere is in collection.
Remember, bredren and sistern, 1t is
Offering dat want dis mawnin'."

MAKES FIELCE FIGHT
ARMAplLLo HAS ITS OWN METH
obs OF WAFARE.
Transformed Into catapuit, AnimT
Made Bold Attack on intrepid and
Truthful Hunter - Brave Hound
Saved Life Of Master.

Some curious stories Of the wild and
woolly West have been sent to east
ern newspapers, but the following dis.
patch from Oakland to the Buffalo
Times easily surpasses all others in
the riotous Imagination of the writer,
who has sent one of the most timid
of animals out on the warpath against
a hunter:
Even those who are familiar with
the Armadillo in his native wilds are
not apt to give him credit for his
fighting abilities. While nature has
provided him with defensive armor
which is q protection against most
of his enemies, instances Of his at
lacking man, even in self-defense, are
extremely rare.
The experience of Fred Petnecky
on recent hunting trip proved that an
armadillo can and will fight when able
to choose It's = battle-ground, and it's
method of attack is unique and ter
rible While riding toward camp one
evening Mr.. Petmecky heard a hound
baying in tliicket. Knowing the dog
was aware it was unlawful for 1t to
run deer and not expecting to find
anything more dangerous than a wam-
pus or gruffini, he left his rifle IN
the scabbard and went to investigate.
He found the hound baying at huge
armadillo, which he, seemed afraid to
attack.
On seeing it's new enemy the arma-
dillo rapidly prepared for action. Max
ing a noise like lion, it seized a
small sapling in it's mouth and looped
it's tail around another. Then, by
contracting it's body, it bent the sap
ling held by it's mouth as far as it was
able. Having thus transformed itself
into a catapult, 1T released its hold
and was hurled with terrific force.
Doubling itself into ball as it few
through the air, it struck Mr.. Pet
mecky on the shoulder, knocking him
down. Nearly stunned by the force
of the blow and thee fall, the hunter
staggered to his feet just as the arma-
dillo was ready for second attack,
which it made with like results.
The hound, which had seemed to be
surprised and too terrified to take any
part in the strange battle, now recov-
cred itself and, before the armadillo
could launch itself at the man again,
seized it by the unprotected portion
of it's body and killed it.
Had it not been for the faithful
hound Mr.. Petmecky's injuries might
have been serious. AS it was he was
too bruised and battered to mount his
horse and proceeded to camp on foot
bringing with him the dog and one
of the saplings bearing the marks OF
the armadillo's tail as proof of his sin
gular adventure.

A great deal depends ON the point OF

led, in a very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh Judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years was great SUI

got SO poor that found could not lie

Specialists told me I must give up
the use Of eoffee-the main thing that
I always thought gave me some relief.

me to pay NO attention to their ad-
vice. Coffee had such a charm for me
that i'm passing restaurant and get

towards the drunkard who could not

me to try Postum, but turned deaf

whom coffee is harmful, but not for
me-coffee and will never part

Twilight.

The twilight is sad and cloudy;
The wind blows wild and free:
And like the wings of sea birds
Flash the white caps of the sea.
But in the fisherman's cottage
There shines ruddier light,
And little face at the window
Peers out into. the night;
Close, close it lis pressed to the window.
AS If those childish eyes
Were looking into the darkness
To see some form arise.
And woman's waving shadow
Is passing to and fro,
Now rising to the ceiling,
Now bowling and bending low.
What tale do the roaring ocean
And the night wind, bleak and wild.
AS they beat the crazy easement,
Tell to that little child?
And why do the roaring ocean,
And the night wind. wild and bleak,
AS they beat at the heart of the mother
Drive the color from her cheek
