Pittsburg Mother Defeats Telephone

Pittsburg Mother Defeats Telephone
Company and Police.
Mrs. Patrick j. Donohoe of Pittsburg,
Pa, declared that the Central District
and Printing Telegraph company. which
is erecting new line in Hermitage
street, should not surround her house
with telephone wires, and defied a large
crew Of workmen, reinforced by the po-
lice. Holes had been scooped out in
front of her house for the poles, but as
yet they have not been placed. and work
has been postponed indefinitely. For
Mrs. DOnohoe came off victorious after
the first skirmish. She placed one of her
children in each of the six holes and de-
fed the workmen. The police were called
to pull the youngsters from their cells
but little Bridget Donohoe, with a gar.
den hose, turned stream of water out
of second story window, causing both
bluecoats and telephone employees TO beat
hasty retreat. If the good Lord had
sent a score OF children to bless me it's
every one I'd place in the holes that de.
face my property" she declared They
want to stretch wires around my house
I'll not let them do it. No gentleman
will act as these people behaved before a
lone, defenseless woman"

Looked Like a Put-up lob.

. Just as the curtain went down at the
end of the thrilling third act loud,
anxious voice in the rear of the hall
called out:

Half dozen men instantly rose up.
Il mean DR.. Samuel Johnson" said
the voice.
! Five of the men sat down.
, Then, all at once, twenty or more
athletic young men, looking suspiciously
like college students, who were sitting
in body near the front, sprang to their
feet and yelled in unison:
Dr. johnson

He died in Seventeen

Thereupon they sat down in unison,
with a resounding thud that Jared the

the drop curtain with a dreamy, far
away gaze for the next FIVE minutes.
AS for the owner of the loud, anxious
voice, he had disappeared at the begin
ming of the outbreak.-Chicago Tribune.

You are unable to quietly and calmly

The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability

ceeded up the latter stream about a mile when, turning bend in the benches, we suddenly espied two bear cubs gamboling about on a clearing about twenty-five hundred feet up on the side of the mountain. We immediately felt craving for bear meat, and decided to get some. Making cautious detour up the mountain We got within rife range, and well hidden behind clump of brush. Between us and the cubs there was what we supposed to be a large, grayish boulder. After a few minutes wait the cubs in their antics ran higher up and clear of the boulder, when we thought it time to secure our fresh meat. Simultaneously we fired, and evil dently with effect, not on the cubs but on the rock, which proved to be three large, rusty looking glacier bears. They jumped to their feet, and sighting us evidently deter mined that they would like some fresh meat, for they at once start ed for us in leaps and bounds.
 Now hunting is quite pleasant sport when bear is in season and man is the hunter. but when man Is in season and bear is the hunter 1t is time for man to get out of the way, and that is what we proceed ed to do. It was long chase down hill with Field in the lead, and such strides as he made! It was simply wonderful and were it not tor the fact that 1 had urgent need to follow him 1 would have liked to stand and witness the race, but | kept going, and so did our companion till we finally reached camp in safety.
 The next day curiosity led us back over the trail to take a eau ti9us view of the bears. They were absent, but we picked up Is rabbits that Field had tramped to death the day previous in his mad efforts to escape the bear.
 We have come to the conclusion that rabbit is far preferable to bear for good. quiet dinner.

Englishmen Who Have Made For. tunes from Cutting and Sell
 ing One and the Other.

It gives one rather an ache in the mouth to reflect that gentle. man who died recently in London has left an estate of nearly f170,- OOO, all from making artificial teeth. Better thot way than the fashion in which his prototypes raised their wealth, says the St. James Gazette. Before the arti. ficial tooth was created deficien cies had to be made good by the real article, so body-snatchers ravaged the cemeteries at night, breaking up the jaws of the dead to extract their teeth to sell to dentists for insertion in live mems mouths. An army of these ghouls followed Wellington. They were licensed as suffers. but. once night fell. out came their pliers. and out came the teeth of those dead and dying on the battlefields. It isa- horrible idea. but We are not SO much more refined today. Only IS months ago somebody was ex- plotting the bones of our soldiers who had fought and died unG.,r Lord WOlseley in the Ashanti war. The poor relies were shinped to London, taken tS an auction room to be sold as "curios." and only at the last moment was pub. lie opinion too strong to permit the wicked transaction to be car. ried through. Not SO far from where the prosperous tooth fac tor has just died there used to live a cutter of corns. Everybody knew him-old Wolff. He did not aspire to the title of chiropodist- simply a cutter of corns he. More than thousand clients paid him their three guineas year. One of them was an archbishop, who, while he submitted a painful corn to the razor, piled his persuasive tongue upon the cutter. Here was Jew to be converted. "Sir, of you will go on talking. I shall cut you" was the only response of Shylock. "lf l make you bleed you'll die" was another grim way he had of si'cncing his clients. Tn his dingv old room. patronized by all the lions of the stock exchange, and everybody who was anybody with corn, he piled up a fortune of over six figures, and was still coin- ing money up to the date of his death at the age of &.

 We had just finished hard. early spring job of hauling our out fit from Valdez to Jack creek. a tributary of the Panama, distance of about three hundred miles, and had completed our permanent camp, when we decided to take a holiday on Easter Sunday. As a recreation we proposed to prospect for the continuation of our ledge on small side creek. and as is the general habit, took along our shoot ing tools. None of us were ever noted for craftsmanship. but we felt that if we could not hit any, thing we could at least have the satisfaction of shooting at some thing.
 We mushed along leisurely up the Nabesna, and into Jack creek, keeping to the river bottom all the way, and meeting with nothing in s'as way of game till we had pro-
