Suddenly one of them felt something
soft and warn against his foot. He
stopped and grasped a human form.
With a cry he caught at its clothing

Be Careful
Thelate trespass case against Milton
ID. Hardesty should be a warning to
these who may feel that a case of tres.
pass is nothing. The east OF Mr.
Hardesty is well known to our readers.
He was given a preliminary hearing
last fall before Commissioner C. C.
Belknap and bound over TO the United
States district court in Cheyenne, en-,
failing a great cost and loss of time,
The findings of the court were that
he should pay the costs amounting to
nearly $500, and the criminal complaint
against him was quashed. Not only
this, but a trespass in the absence OF
a settlement forever deprives the par
ty from any of the privileges of the
Preserve. 1t is very well for a person
to know exactly what he is doing OF
going to do, before he takes any
chances at antagonizing Uncle Sam

SECRET POLICE OF PARIS.
Four Branches Of Organization, With
VARYING Duties.


You cannot go anywhere in Paris
without meeting the secret police. al
though you would never recognize
them observed Il Briton familiar
with the French capital. There are
four divisions of these uniformed
crime detectors. The first division is
known as the Surety. the business OF
which is TO track down known crimi-
nails and capture them. They are dar-
ing, willy and resourceful fellows, and
1t is clever malefactor indeed who
can evade them. Another body Of this
plain clothes police looks after the
tenants of lodging houses and hotels.
They take note of all The arrivals and
departures, and gather statistics re
%arding the workmen IN the factories,
the sick in hospitals and private
houses and so forth. A third division
occupies itself with political rlotters,
aSitators and gamblers. At meetings
Of Il seditious character they mingle
with the crowd. and ttO disarm sus-
Eicion) applaud as loudly as anybody,
and join in derunciations of the gov
ernment They appear in gambling
dens as gamblers themselves. and
they also keep a quiet watch on the
regular police. The remaining divis-
ion consists of elegantly dressed per
sons who watch over the president
and protect him not ouly from assas-
sins, but also from bores and cranks.

SOME FRANKS OF LIGHTNING.
Fantastic Tricks Played Upon Unfol

Fantastic Tricks Played Upon Unfor
tunate Victims.
One of the fantastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is kind of fashlight pho.
Biography. There are numerous in.
stances of this which are more or less
authenticated" but they seem almost
too wonderful to be believed. One
Of these is Of young man in New
Jersey who was struck by lightning
and was taken in an ambulance to the
hospital at once. There seemed to be
no wound except small mark on the
back, but while the doctors and
nurses were examining him picture
began to develop on the skin. Soon
before the wondering eyes of the
watchers appeared perfect picture
of the figure Of Christ nailed to the
cross. The explanation is that on the
wall opposite the bed on which the
young man lay was the picture which
was reproduced on his skin.
Another instance Is OF man who
was struck by lightning. and on his
chest were red marks resembling the
tree with all its branches Under which
the man was standing when lhe was
killed. From France comes the story
Of peasant girl who was driving a
COW from the pasture when she was
overtaken by a storm, and she and
the COW took refuge under the tree. A
bolt killed the COW and stunned the
girl. When she recovered conscious
ness she found on her chest a picture
Of the COW she had been driving.
The chatelaine OF the castle OF
Benatonnaire was sitting in a chair
in her salon when the chateau was
struck by lightning. She was quite
uninjured, but on the back OF her
dress was found perfect copy Of the
chair on which she had been sitting.

are few Of the many strange pranks

His Musical Ear.

II isn't always best to brag about
your gifts. Out on one OF the bOule-
wards lives man who lays claim
to musical ear and plays a little on
the piano. Frequently he has criti-
cised his wife for what he called her
inability to carry tune.
Your ear, if you had a musical one,
as | have. would show you how to
carry a tune" he would say. One
day he complained that the piano
was out of tune and asked his wife
to telephone for tuner She de-
cided to test his musical ear so
that night when he came home from
his business she said
Will you please try the piano and
see if the tuner has done it any
good. | haven't any ear and cannot
tell, but you can"
The man sat down at the instru-
ment and played simple tune. IT'S
all right now,' he said. THAT fel
low did good job"
His wife summoned up her courage.

come to-day. He's coming tomorrow

CONSUMpTION'S WARNING

QThe aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
QThere is no disease known that gives 50
many plain warnings of it's approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be SO quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DIR. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
Consumption.
Git is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
companied by frequent expectoration.
QBut no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, Cermcn
Syrup will surely effect = cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

with all his old air of affection, and
tapping the shoulder upon which one
of his hands still rested, when you
have reached my years you will know
better than to waste time and
thoughts in useless regrets. Let the
past go, Jean. my lad, and look only

The emperor resumed his seat, and

forward in his chair; and there was a

tone so emphatic that the emperor
made a gesture of warning. "Yes,

might seek to interpose."
IF this be SO, Jean, then perhaps
you may some day hear from me.

John hav No Faddist.

THE late John Hay said a Chica-

that we Americans, in our impetuosity,
were given to fads overmuch. 1t was
this one trait in us alone that would
ever suffice to shake Mr.. Hay out of
his exquisite equanimity.
He was walking with me one day
in London. At Hyde Park corner a
vegetarian from Frisco joined us. and
as we strolled onward. this vegetarian
talked hotly about the evils of meat
eating trying, it seemed, TO convert
Mr.. Hay and me to his fad.
"Mr. Hay listened patiently for
quite half an hour. Then suddenly
he stopped short. He thumped the

The speculative eyes turned smil-

said, 1T is scarcely safe thing to
aver what may or may not lie in the
future. You, who seem SO desirous of
serving me-cannot you promise me
this?"
Indeed, yes, Sire" was the fervent
answer as the speaker bent to touch
with his lips the hand pressing his
own.
BE it SO. Now"-and the clasping
hand released its hold--'you must
leave me; and be sure to remember
my wish that you remain with Murier
