Then fiourishing the bills he turned his back to fthe field and shouted:
 Seventy dollars. Who wants to make a little bet? Seventy bucks. Who's game?''
 ''YOu're on,'' said 8 man in the back ground, and began counting, $7O into the hands of a red-necktied individual.
 And now go to it, Wisconsin" said Henry.
 On they went and on until suddenly the Chicago team stopped backing up and the Wisconsin team stopped going forwad. Then, though Henry yelled ''Ho, Vanderboom' as loudly as ever a young man on the Chicago side took the ball and sent it whirling away toward the other goal.
 Kerchug! the Wisconsin backs beat against the line, but the line held and before Henry realized the change it was the Chicago backs who were doing the bucking, and the bleachers were shouting: Hold m Wisconsin!'
 By jolts and circles the ball crept up toward the Wisconsin goal line, while people with maroon-colored ribbons yelled, Eckersall" but while Henry danced up and down, biting his nails. The liquor was begining 90 die out.
 "Eckle cant kick a field goal he said
 Sure he can't"' shifted Wis consin man. Hasn't he tried twice already?"
 But Eckersall stepped back for a kick, and then there was a great shout gold was obscurad by a very sharp ing, while Henry shut his eyes
 The fat man called back 10 Henry: -Four points for Chi. That's my 35, all right, Wisconsin cant win now
 Henry sank down in his seat. and then stood up again. He started to slip away in the crowd, but he fel. the fat Chicagoan looking ut him. He covered his face with his hands, while pictures Of what was bound to happen ran through his brain. He saw the Chicago man demanding his money. He saw himself haled to police court, and then awful though. she saw himself mak- ing shoes in large iron-barred build ing He waited for the eternities until shrill whistle came from below The game was over
 T guess that's my money" said the ia. person from Chicago, as he ambled leisurely up.
 Sure said Eonry hopelessly, sure"
 Somebody touched him on the back man with q red necktie.
 Say, pal, here is $40 of yours"
 "What?' said Henry.
 You was tlxin' the Chicago end of that bet, wasn't you? You didn't say which way you were bet.in. but I see your big maroon ribbon and took 1t for granted you was from Chicago"
 Sure said Henry, sure I've got a bunch of money up, you know, and I'd forgot about this
 He thrust the bills into his pockes, and then he turned to the fat Chica- goan. 5t
 How muct was I holding for you? Seventy? Well, I guess that counts up all right. Oh, don't men ion it.
 Then in a daze he struggled to the street, holding tte remaining s7O in his hands. As he emerged from the jam at the gate a dollar bill blew from his fingers into the" crowd, Henry Hodg- kins smiled indulgently as ha watched the dozen small boys dive in to the dust'-Chicago Chronicle.

Asia. So great Is the altitude of this great tableland that geographers refer to it as ''the roof of the world" Few inded, are the travellers or explorers who have ever ventured even on to it's southern fringe, lying just beyond the northwest frontier of India.
 But the scientific world is being startled by the news which is leaking out of the results of the explorations by the two Danish officers, Messrs Oloufsen and Philipsen, who have re- gently penetrated into some strange corners of this hitherto mysterious region. They have an astonishing tale to tell. But they have brough back with them over 300 photographs in- parts of the Pamirs, it appears, the people are not only all dwarfs, but the very animals of the district, wild and domestic, are correspendingly diminutive in stature.
 The full grown men and women are rarely a yard high. Their donkeys and their horses, which in appearance re- sernble our smallest poines, are. about the size of large dogs, The bulls and cows-fierce little creatures-are no larger than a new born European calf, and the sheep are about the size of small poodles. Tigers no larger than kittens are said to infest the hills.
 Smaller and lower even in the human scale, however, than these Asiatic pigmies are some creatures which the natives of the great Congo basin in Africa call Kaieke, and will insist are men and not beasts.
 The Kaieke are said to have very long hair, small, keen eyes, to be very wild-neyer coming into towns-and only to be seen in the bush, where they sometimes try to hold converse with the natives.
 by a J. D, Sullivan on one of the tribu- taries of the Amazon, are a people re- markable chiefly for their ugliness. Their stomach which is distended in the back as we'll as in front, is out of al proportion to their tiny spindling arms and legs. This is because of their habit of gorging. After hunt they will eat like animals, and then lie listlessly in the hot tropical sun for days, till hunger again impels them to get more game.
 In the same way among the~4-wan- dering African pigmies slain elephant becomes the site of new camp until all the flesh is consumed, when the little men move off in search of a fresh quarry, which they blind before spear- ing to death by shooting poisoned ar rows into the eyes. Individaul pig mics, however, it Is said, ma also be encountered in the Villages of the big negroes, where they are petted as riosities.-Pearson' Weekly.

THE BOHEMIAN

Once upon a time there lived an artist. He had lofty ideals in his brain and yellow stains cn his tinger-nails. Besides, he lived on his relations. He went through three universities, and thence post-graduated to Paris, whither he travelled to absorb some at- mosphere.
 He returned finished artist. He must have been good, for, when he en- glance where Raphael fell down, how bad Velasduez really was, where Murillo was weak and why Ruhens turned out so much poor stuff. It was he who discovered that the Brabizon School-he called it that himself--is not what it is said to be, and that Sir Joshua Reynolds-he hailed him as Josh-was poor on. brush work.
 Meanwhile he lived in hall-room and wore flowing neckties. His shoes were of varying patterns and his clothes were stylish-in 1863. He slept most of the day and walked

TWO BETS.

As he jostled out of the crowd into Randall field his single dime-his only souvenir of the friendly poker game shot through ihis fingers to the ground A small boy dived for it., but Henry was too agile and a second later the recov. cred silver lay snugly in MT. Hodgkin's pocket. Sixty seconds later he was handling his reserved-seat check to an usher and by the end of five minutes the last memories of the Shaving Elm porium had fioated away and he had become one of the 12,00O bowling der wishes.
 Maybe Eckte ain't a dandy!" he shouted between yells to a fat man alongside.
 My money for him." believed back the old boy. "Hi-i-i, Eckie!'' as the celebrated MT. Eckersall sent a twist ing, squirming punt half way the length of Randall field. Then the Wis consin bleachers began to yell uproar-

had miraculous escape. s he was
 abandoned on fire in the Pacific Ocean
 in May of last year while on a vOy-
 age from Newcastle. New South Wales, to San Francisco. A short time ago
 this ship drifted ashore at South Caps,
 FoTmosa. She must have been a dere-
 Iict vessel for over twelve months, and during the time s.Ie was abandoned it | is calculated tFat she drifted nearly { 4,000 miles. This is not bad for ship that had been abandoned as unsea- : worthy
 A remarkable escape from death is
 that of a girl who was admitted to the St. Bartholomew Hospital in Roches- ter, This female patient was the daughter of a local police officer. and
 by some accident she had a needle 1 thrust right into her heart. re-
 markable operation was performed at the hospital as a result of which, after
 a considerable amount of suffering on ! the girls part, the needle was success
 fully removed from the heart.
 l At the thirty-first congress of the German Chirurgical Association, he'd
 eAN 4DEI Lllls d hElS lS4tIclA AelDlG EiSIIACAAS ! i was introduced to the congress. This 1 was a young man who, attempting suicide, shot himself with a small cali 1 bre gun. The bullet had penetrated 1 his heart. but the wound had healed
 up very rapidly. The Rontgen rays l were turned upon the mans heart and ] the bullet was discovered in the right Yentricle, bouncing about with each beat. The man was for all the worldl
 as though his heart were a rattle. 1 After some time the bullet gradually
 became encased, and now it moves
 rhythmically with the heart without
 causing the slightest inconvenience to l the patient.
 Equally remarkable was the tempOr-
 ary escape from d:ath of a domestic yearc ago she was accidentally shot near Northampton and the bullet lodg-
 ed in her head but could not be locat- ed. Recently the girl said she thought | the bullet had moved it's position; la 1 ter in the day she died. An inquest
 was held at Weedon, and it was proved
 that death was caused through inflam- nation of the brain, the bullet having been in the young womGn's brain the Iswhole of the time.
 An almost miraculous escape from death was that of two little children
 in bungalow in Bengal. A tiger
 ruched out of the jungle and broke in
 after the children. As he ruched at
 them he came across a. looking glass, ! and thre he saw what he took to te another tiger rushing at him. Furi- ously he attacked hts reflection, smashing the glass into ten thousand pieces. The noise and excitement so
 frightened him that he fled into the
 jungle, leaving the children Gnhurt.

 One day the artist arrived"
 An editor saw promise in his work and gave him three years contract at $60 per week.
 The next month he married and set tied down. Before his contract ex- pired he had two children, a savings bank account, and three life insurance policies. He goes to bed each night at and his clothes are of the latest fashion. His meals are served to the minute and he stickIes abtectly for the influence of the home.

EMBROIDERED BY BRIGAND.
Story of Mexican Prisoner and His Faithful Sweetheart.

Story of Mexican Prisoner and His
 Faithful Sweetheart.
 l In possession of w. C. Darlington there is a knit tablecloth whose history savors of 8 West romance. The table cloth was given to Mrs. Darlington by her father, who purchased it as big price. The work represents the labor of three years of Mexican brigand while serving a life term in prison, and it brings to light an interesting TO- nance from a country where romance abounds. From Zapatlin, in the State of Jalisco, to Colima, in Colima, the Re public of Mexico, is @ two days jour- ney over the mountains. Yet in past ! ages these two points were connected l by a big tunnel, the retreat of num- l bers of generations of ibrigands when pursued by the Government forces There were at various places air shafts for ventilation and once inside the tunnel these robber chiefs and their bands were safe.
 Before the railroad went through wagon trains were robbed on the Co lima side and the spoils disposed of Oll IIlG JdllSCO sue tbClOIS IIlS ilt"S 5 reached there. One robber leader suc- ceeded, generations were born, grew old and passed away. The tunnel be- came impossible from side to side, rendering each end only available. Some few year ago there lived in Jalisco a young man of fine carriage, elegant manners, apparently rich and undoubtedly of the finest Castllian blood grandee in every look and action.
 He fell in love with beautiful young lady and, after making love in the Mexican fashion they became "no- vices, or were engaged. The girls father was asked for her hand and the day was set. During the time elapsing the young man went away, as was his custom, for few days to his hacienda, presumably. Just about this time matters around the border between Colima and Jalisco were getting des- perate on account of the outrages of these Hand pirates" who sheltered themselves in this tunnel. So the Government sent a regiment of soldiers, who surprised, caught and brought to
 
 their leader. The leader was neither more nor less than our fine young Castlian His absences were marauding expeditions and his riches the proceeds of these same expeditions. His com panions were shot, but owing to the endeavors of his devoted 'novia'' he was given 8 life sentence in Guadala- jara 'Penitentiary. And every day of her life this faithful woman goes to see her lover. For three years this man, once leader of fashion, once chief of his highway robbers, grandee even in jail , patiently toiled on this cloth, carefully placing the stitches, outlining the dogs, the flower pots and powers, the emblem of Mexico and birds shown on it. True to him alwoys, this patient little woman trudged around to sell his three years work, and finally did so.--Pueblo Chieftaip.

CATHEDRAL BUILDING.

The proposal brought forward by Justice Harlan at the General Assem- bly, of the Presbyterian Church this year. that the Presbyterians should build in Washington a great cathedral church, has the significance of fur ther eVidencing the general and grow ing appreciation of Washington as the capital of the Nation in more than the narrow political sense. Methodists Roman Catholics and Episcopalians are already concentrating ecclesiasti- cal and educational enterprises there. Great laboratories, universities, col- 1ages, scientific collections and churches are gathering in Washington, as well as the great office buildings for public administration. It is becom- ing more and more of winter resi- dence for the intellectual class and the leisure class of the country, and so is becoming distinctly a capital city" As the most beautiful city in the country it is showing the attrac- tive power of beauty, and the trend toward 1t is likely to increase stead fly for many years.
 Justice Harlan's proposal has also the significance of adding weight to the question, lately asked with much earnestness, are we becoming cathe- dral builders? A Protestant cathedral has just been finished in Berlin, 8 Roman Cathclice in London, the Cathe- dral of St. John the Divine is rising mighty in New York, Boston is agi- tating the subject, and a number of smaller but ambitious and costly cathedral church are under way Architectural Record.
