Joe Grim, the Italian fighter with

Jury duty over in Philadelphia. He
had made arrangements to fight Hugo
Kelly of Chicago, and there was money
in the bout. Joe went to court and
said to the Judge:
"Excusa me! Means lotto da mon,

"Are you naturalized?" asked the
court.
"Sure! Good American mel" re-
piled the pugilist.
Nothing doing, then!" remarked
the Judge. "If you go West to fight
you'll go to Jail for life when you
come back"
Mean shame!" cried Joe. Il media

BISON BEEF" SOLD IN ENGLAND.
Result Of Experiments In Crossing
Buffalo and Cattle.

Result Of Experiments In Crossing
Buffalo and Cattle.
The latest delicacy to tempt the ap-
petites of British epicures is a com
promise between buffalo meat and
beef. A couple of 2-year-old bullocks,
the result of cross-breeding between
a North American bison and highland
cattle were sold at the Newcastle mar
ket yesterday. They had been bred
by Mr.. Lyland Of Haggerston castle,
Northumberland, says the New York
World, who has been engaged for sew
eral years in experimenting in this
direction.
The animals we're exactly like their
North American cousins in appear
ance, except that they were stronger
and thicker in the hindquarters. They
had been reared and fed as wild cat
tie, so great difficulty was experienced
in conveying them to market.
Although they were accommodated
in special boxes, their fury was SO
great that one broke its neck on the
Journey, and the other had to be snot
in the market.
The beef, it is said, will be found
of a richer quality than that obtained
from a buffalo, and If kept for a
month or so more palatable than that
of an ordinary bullock.

Spanish Government Keeps Track Of

A mar who Unexpectedly came into
a fortune not long ago found among
his e belongings three pictures.
They were painted by a Spanish art
list eminent in his lifetime and of in
creasing fame since his death.
Before he had had time to become
accustomed to the joys of possession
he was startled by a communication
from the Spanish government severe
ly official in appearance and language
He knew enough Spanish to make
out that it was an inquiry into his
identity, the condition of the pictures
and the date on which they came into
his hands, and not, as he at first
feared, a challenge of his right of own
ership.
In due time he learned that in con
Quoting this inquiry, the Spanish gov
eminent was following its usual course
in regard to the notable painters OF
Spain. Every picture of importance
painted by a Spanish artist is accur
ately described in the catalogue com
piled under government supervision
and each incident Of it's history is not.

Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, widow OF

Even in some civilized countries
babies still have hard times. In parts
Of Flanders the mothers wind liner

still a worse custom.
The style in heads there is to have

1t is stated in Washington that un.

fixed by the commission it cannot be
lowered by a railroad. Should an
emergency arise calling for a decreased
rate the railroads or shippers would

a maximum rate has been the rule. but
no such concession is made under the
