Tho Millionaire Twins.

Lewis Boss, director of the Dudley
observatory, whom the Royal Astro-
nomical Society of London recently
honored with gold medal, was talking
the other day about astronomical err
rors in general.
Astronomical errors Mr.. Boss
concluded, place astronomers in en-
barrassing positions. Embarrassment,
however, is the usual result of errors,
isn't it? Did 1 ever tell you about the
millionaire twins?"
mo; never"
well, I used to know two twins, two
millionaire twins. They looked good
deal alike. One, though, had very
large nose. The other was deaf.
These twins attended one night a
dinner party in Albany. The twin with
the large nose sat beside very pretty
girl, and she, for some reason, got him
confused with his brother. She thought
he was deaf, and she talked to him at
the very top Of her clear. sweet voice.
Naturally, he was rather annoyed.
But she was such a pretty girl that he
got very tender Of her feelings. He
feared, if he told her of her error. it
might embarrass her. So ne said moth
ing. From the oysters on down to the
salad he permitted himself to be
shouted at like man in a distant boat.
Finally, though, he forgot his So
licitude. For the girl shrieked at the
top of her lungs to him:
ct has been a beautiful day, hasn't
it?' And then, turning to her leftnand
neighbor, she said in her usual voice:
"Did you ever see such a nose in
your life?'
"Involuntarily, the millionaire's hand
went up to his nose, and he stroked it..
Then ne said to the young woman:
pardon me; it is my brother who
is deaf"

The Old Times.


"The old London Times was a great
paper once" said journalist. ct had
no competition. 1t cost sixpence, or
IL cents, a copy and made barrels of
money. All that, of course, is changed
now.
when the Times was in its prime
it did not care how it spent the cash.
A Times war correspondent was once
tortured to death by tine natives in
South Africa. The paper printed a
page about this young man. 1t gave
all the horrible details.
"Then the presses were stopped, that
page was taken out, and another page
was put in, the latter page contain
ing the young mans obituary with tho
horrors omitted, and enough other
matter, especially written for the oc-
casion, to fill the rest of the page.
"Just one copy Of the amended pap
err was struck off. This copy was sent
to the young mans mother. The pro-
prietor of the Times went to all of the
trouble and expense solely to save the
young mans mother pain.
"It may be-" said the journalist,
that some ill-advised person showed
the mother the regular edition. Even
if that were so, my appreciation Of
the Times kindness would not in any
way be lessened."

October for Pickerel.

Here is conjecture as to why the
pickerel bite better in October than
in any other month:
It is in October when the pickerel
reaches his keenest biting humor.
Whether it is in that month our
fresh water lakes and ponds grow
clearer or because the dying weeds
exposes the minnows, or that the
sinners hive more closely and be-
come easier victims, or that the pick
erel feeds harder to put on flesh
against the coming winter or all
these causes combined-mlst be
left in limbo of fshy doubt, albeit
they are all plausl BILE. But what we
positively know is that the. October
pickerel, as the white frost thickens
becomes mobile, greedy md al
most systematic food hunter. In
June, July, August or even in Sep
tember-unless the frosts come ear
ly you may take him or you may
not In October he is ripe for days
sport and the hunters moon is also
the symbol Of the anglers success.

A Few Pointers for Hunters.

Always when crossing a wiro
fence, pull your gun through after
you by the muzzle. This is the
surest way to get discharge of
both barrels at enc time.
When hunting on farm where
there is live stock be sure you shut
your eyes when you pull the trig-
ger. You can then swear that you
did not see the horse before you
shot.
If you score miss, kick the dog.
1t was his fault without doubt.
In lieu of quail shoot a few
chickens. The farmers have moth
ing to do but raise them anyway.
II your gun misses fire, blow in
the muzzle. This will tell you
whether or not 1t is loaded. The
risk cuts no figure when a game
dinner is in sight.
If you want to make reputation
as G great hunter, buy your birds
from some farmer boy. He won't
give you away and the birds taste
just the same to your friends.

MISSING IN MEXICO.
Prof. Thomas Grindell of Platteviile
Disappears with Party aud Broth
er Secures Arrest of the Guide.

Miss Clara L. Grindell of Milwau
kee has received a letter from her
brother, E. P. Grindell, who IS now
In Arizona looking after a missing
brother, Prof. Thomas Grinde]l,
stating that the guide who started
from New Mexico with Prof. Grin
dell and party of four friends, has
been arrested and is being held
until further information of the
missing man is secured. Several
brothers of the guide also are under
arrest.
Prof. Grindell is resident of
Platteville. He has been in New
Mexico and Arizona on mining
business, and recently he, with
friends, started out along the coast
of Sonora. They employed a native
as guide. Later, it was reported
that the men in the party were
missing, and that the guide had
mysteriously disappeared.
Now he has been captured, but
no trace Of the missing prospectors
has been secured. It is thought they
may have been murdered by natives,
and that the guide, who escaped for
time, was in the plot.

The buildings fronting the Puerta
del Sol are all of three stories. The
most prominent of these are the
Grand Hotel de Paris, the yellow
building of the Credit Lyonnaise
(the foreign money exchange,) the
Ministerio del Interior, and the
building of the New York Life In
surance company.
In the place where the Gale
Alcala meets another street at an
angle of about forty degrees stands
the Equitable building. It is of
nearly the same color as the new
Court House in Lancaster, and is by
many considered the most beautiful
building in Madrid. The main en-
trance is at it's point nearest the
Gale Alcala. On the top Of the
building and above this doorway
is the clock surmounted by the
crown-shaped cupola bearing the
words La Equitativa de los Estados
Unidos."
Last but not least is the Plaza de
Toros at the end of the Gale Alcald.
1t is high stone building, circular
in form, and not unlike the Roman
Colosseum, not only in shape but IN
that it stands as a visible symbol of
the ignorance and cruelty Of a ma
ton.
