A. Mania For Pipes.

Recently e Partisan shoplifter
was arrested and searched. To the
amazement of the officials her plum
der was not articles of feminine
adornment, but several costly meer-
schaum pipes.
When her apartments were
searched 1900 pipes were found.
some Of which were handsomely col
ored.
Although for awhile she stoutly
protested her innocence, she at last
broke down and confessed that she
was addicted to the use Of tobacco
and suffered from form of KEEP
tomania which led her to steal every
handsome pipe which she could
make away with without discovery.
She made no attempt to dispose
of her pipes for profit, but kept
them in cabinets in her home. Not
one of the pipes, she admitted, had
been paid for, but she declared that
in taking them she was only obeying
an irresistible impulse and was not
morally responsible for her crimes.

The girl manifested good deal Of
surprise when BE- uncle announced
his intention Of going back to the

"Yes, we will go back; no danger

went.
No one was there except the wo.
man. Their belongings had not been
disturbed. Their horses we're safe in
the stable.
Then they put on dry clothes and
resumed their journey.
They never went back and never
heard more Of the people who had
afforded them such wild adventure,
and never knew the reason why the
men were not at the house to murder
them and at last accomplish their
purpose Of robbery.
Their sEru.ise was that, suspecting
the victims may possibly have escaped
alive and given the alarm, they fled
lest the officers Of law should come in
search for them.
It is possible that superstitious fear
had something to do with the failure
of their aeheme.

It Came Back ard Brought Trouble and
MIR. Green With II.
"When was new in the bus;
ness" said the dentist, 81 resorted
to good deal of freak advertising.
My pet scheme was to send bills to
people whom I pretended to have
treated. All these people were to-
tai strangers. 1 simply selected
their names from the directory and
sent them bills for sums ranging
from SIS to $50. Of course l never
got any money! didn't expect
any-but l got plenty of advertis-
ing, which was what / was after.
Usually the people that got the bills
were hopping mad, and large per-
centage of them came down to the
office and demanded an explanation.
During those interviews l put CT
my incest professional manners,
apologized for the mistaI through
which they had been bothered by a
bill meSnt for somebody else, and
not infrequently the affair ended
by my securing a patron.
"But one day I met my match. I
had sent bill for $l5 to a man
named II. S. Green for services rem
dered to his wife. Green and his
wife came down together. He did
most of the talking, but she had
CLINT in her eye that told me she
was capable of butting in if occa-
sion demanded it. .
"1 received your bill this morn
ing, said Green, but I refuse to pay
it on the ground that the work you
did for my wife was not satisfac-
tory
"That attack took the wind right
out of my sails. I was thrown com
pletely off my guard. 'The work I
did for your wife?' I exclaimed.
why, good heavens, man, I never
saw your wife in my lifep
"Green waved the bill right under
my nose. Fifteen dollars for serv-
ices rendered. he said significantly.
But I don't wonder that. you are
trying to crawfish. It is an afro
cious piece Of work. But you can't
get out of it. Here is your bill to
prove that you are responsible for
her condition. Will you kindly
| make an examination and see if you
can't fix her up? If you don't I'll
be tempted to sue you for malprac-
tice.'
"Well, saw that I was in tight
place. Green knew as well as I did
that I had never set eyes on his
wife until that morning, yet he
meant business, and as my little ad-
vertising scheme would not bear ex-
posure just then [ was forced to
knuckle under. His wife really had
suffered at the hands of woefully
incompetent dentist. It took me O

The President Under Sea.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., August 25.--
President Roosevelt late this after
noon made descent in Long Island
Sound on board the submarine torpe-
do boat Plunger. He was aboard the
vessel about three hours. at one
time the little boat wee submerged for
fifty minutes and in that time was put
Slough all Of the submarine feats Of
which it is capable. The President ex-
pressed delight at the novel expert
ence and said he was Immensely i'm
pressed with the boat and with the
manner in which she was handled. In
thus Drawing the dangers Of submarine
manoeuvering, the President has en-
deared himself to naval officers and
men the world over and made Lieut..
Charles FL. Nelson, commander of the
Plunger, the proudest and happiest
man in the United States navy.
The Presidents intention not only
to make personal inspection of the
tiny vessel, likely to prove so deadly
in naval warfare, but to make a sub
marine descent in it, was reached af-
ter conference with Lieut.. Nelson.
The Plunger's commander explained
to President Roosevelt the operations
Of the boat and assured him that a
trip on her and descent into the
depths of Long Island Sound would be
as devoid Of danger as would be trip
on New York subway express train.
AS soon as the President had de.
soended into tho boat che manholes
were closed and, conveyed by the ma
val tender Apache. the Plunger start
ed for the sound. No manoeuvres
were attempted until the vessel was
we'll beyon2 the entrance to the bay.
Astif northwest breeze had been blow.
ing slice last night and kicked Q
heavy sea in the sound but the Plung-
er behaved beautifully. The water
where the trial took place is about
forty feet deep, too shallow in the opin-
ion Of Lieut. Nelson aud his experts
to- enable the vessel to do her best
work. Soon after the vessel reached
the necessary depth of water she was
directed downward until she rested on
the bottom Of the sound. Then the
mechanism Of the craft was explained
minutely to the President by Lieut. Nell
son, so that he afterward had no diff
Guilty in understanding the ma
noeuyres which were performed.
Explanations Of the working of the
vessel having been completed, Lieut.:
Nelson began to put her through her
PAGES. From the, bottom, porpoise
diving was tried, that is, the boat would
ascend to the surface Of the sound for
several seconds, long enough to enable
her commander to sight any war ship
that might be within view, and then
dive immediately. After this man
oeuvrs had been repeated few times
the Plunger was seat down distance
Of twenty feet below the surface and
her engines stopped. Then the en-,
gines were reversed and the boat as
jcended to the. surface backwards.
Lieut.. Nelson made his boat perform
the remarkable feat Of diving to depth

Calaveras chronicle.
On Thursday, says the Angels Rec
ord of the 18th, as Bert Marshall, a
lineman for the Utica company, was
working on a pole about forty feet
from the ground, he had narrow
escape He was standing on cross
arm and tried to throw wire over the
high tension feed wire leading to the
Royal at Hodson, carrying Is, 600 volt
age. In some way the light wire struck
the live wire and Immediately Mar
shall was doubled up, the wire he was
holding in his left hand carrying the
full current. He was paralyzed, but
managed to get his hand loose from
the wire. He then descended the pole
and was taken to the Utica hospital,
where it was found that he had three
holes burned to the bones in the palm
of his left hand. 1t is a wonder that
Marshall was not killed, as the wire
carries fully Is, ZOO voltage.
Last Wednesday, at the instigation
of the Servian Benevolent Society of
Angels Camp, E. Bielich and Chris
Vuscasnavich, proprietors of the Gold
Leaf saloon, we're arrested on a charge
of embezzlement. They furnished bail
in the sum of $500 each, and were re-
leased pending the action of the court.
The Gold Leaf saloon is the place that
was robbed about month ago, when
the bottom of the safe was cut out and
the contents stolen. The arrest arose
out of this robbery matter. Echo.

quit In Blood.

The Winter palace Of the czars was
built in blood. Almost every stone Of
the walls and every square yard Of the
plaster lining them cost a life. Mich
olas had given the order that the pal
ace must be rebuilt in a year, and
what was human life against the des-
pots will? Six thousand men were
kept at work day and night, with the
palace heated at so r. to dry the walls
rapidly, while the temperature out
side was often 80 degrees below zero
R. The men could only work with fee
packs on their heads, and, experienc-
ing daily change of 60 degrees, they
died by the score every day. By the
end Of the year the death roll was
some thousands, but the palace was
finished. To understand the full mean
ing Of this achievement it should be re-
membered that the Winter palace is as
large as Buckingham palace, Kensing-
ton palace and the National gallery

Luminous Ea.t Indian Plants.

Upward Of sixty species Of East In
dian plants. mostly of the fern family,
with a goodly sprinkling Of grasses
and creeping vines, are luminous, and
It Is said that the sides Of the noun
tains In the vicinity of Cyree are
nightly illuminated by the pale, white
light which they emit. The root stock
of a plant from the Ooraghum jungle,
near Layki (supposed to be an orchid,
possesses the peculiar properties of be,
coming luminous when wet, while when
dry it Is quite lusterless. One jointed
plant, supposed to be member of the
rush or cane family, emits a fiery red
light from its leaves, pale white one
from its stalk, while its flowers give
out capricious flashes, like that of our
lightning bugs"

Genius Infmical to "Prize..v

There is not in existence a single
great opera, oratorio, symphony or in
deed any fine piece Of musical art
which is the result of the prize system.
There is "Cavalleria," which Is drivel,
there are other works which are worse
drivel, but no one can name to me a
really fine work that has won a prize.
The reason, though apparently ridicu-
lously simple, is sufficient. In music
the big men contemptuously refuse TO
compete for prizes. I know that in
sculpture # is otherwise. Stevens Wei
lington affair, which, they tell me, is
kept in a cellar somewhere, Is proof Of
that. But there is not fine prize play,
prize picture, prize poem, prize piece Of
music. Still, what has failed thou

WHAT MAKES A NOBLEMAN.
| deem the man a nobIeman

L deem the man nobleman
Who acts a noble part;
Who shows alike by word and deed,
He hath true mans heart;
Who lives not for himself alone,
Nor joins the selfish few,
But prizes more than all things else,
The good that he can do.
l deem the man noble man
Who stands up tor the right;
And in the work of charity,
Finds pleasure and delight;
Who bears the stamp of manIiness
Upon his open brow,
And never yet was known to do
An action mean or low.
| deem the man noble man
Who strives to aid the weak.
And sooner than revenge a wrong,
Would kind forgiveness speak;
Who sees brother in all men,
From peasant unto King,
Yet would not crush the meanest
worm,
Nor harm the weakest thing.
L deem the man a nobleman--
Yes! noblest of his kind!-
Who shows by moral excellence,
His purity of mind;
Who lives alike through good and ill,
The finn, unainching man,
Who loves the cause of brotherhood
And aids it all he can.

where I have been residing for some
years, it Is common to see people put
on their overcoats when they enter a
house and take them off upon going

THE cause of this Is that the at
mosphere on the outside is warmer
than within the residences. The
