Which Did She Prefer2

When she entered the car it was
easy to see that she was very angry.
Her chin was high in the air and her
lips were set in a rigid line The car
was crowded and every seat was oc-
cupied, so she pushed her way up
front with a determination that gave
further evidence of her veXatiOn.
She reached the front end of the
car just as a tall, good-looking man
rose, and, lifting his hat, asked in i
pleasant voice
Wont you have this seat?"
"No, l won't" she snapped. The
young man was surprised. but sat
down again without speaking
For about five minutes she rode
along, hanging on TO the straps. Then
the car gave sudden jolt and she
was thrown unceremoniously into the
young mans lap. She blushed a vivid
red, and struggling to rise was almost
on her feet when another lurch threw
her back again.
Madam he said quietly. i'm the
same good-humored tone, If YOU pre-
fer this seat to the one 1 offered be
fore, you are quite welcome to it,

Scott Cummins, the poet of Win
chester, Woods county, was a COW
puncher in the Northwest many years
ago. His outfit came to Snake River
one day with three thousand cattle.
Cummins. with a poets license. re-
lates what happened:
The river was too dangerous for
swimming, but after following the
bank a short distance the foreman
found a giant redwood tree that had
fallen across the river Fortunately
the tree was hollow. and making d
chute, they had no trouble in driving
the cattle through the log to the
other side
LAS the cattle had not been counted
for several days. one of the cowboys
was stationed to count them as they
emerged from the log. The count fell
short some three hundred head. but
about that time e distant lowing was
heard
Their surprise may be imagined
when ON looking about they found
that the cattle had wandered OF into

She Knew Washinaton.

Old Aunt Whey Field, a colored
nanny whom her daughter. Ellen
Bowers. says was 11S years old, died
Sunday at her home PIG Virginia ave
nue. southeast Ellen claims that her
mother clearly remembered George
Washington, and had often told of
events of that period. The aged
woman was buried by the district
government.
Aunt Whey was born, her daughter
says, in 1856. She was the slave of
Henry Field of Madison county, Va,
and remained in his household until
the time of the Mexican war when
she was sold. During the time she
lived with the family of Mr. Field, she
saw and heard much of Gen. Wash
ington, and she often related his
deeds to her children and grand
children
At the beginning of the civil war
she belonged to Sinclair BoutOn, of
Madison county, but when freed went
to Tennessee. Ten years later she
came to this city and lived here until
her death

This Glass Keeps out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard
Szigmondy, is reported to have made
a new kind of window glass whose
chief popularity is that it prevents
the passage of nine-tenths of the heat
of the suns rays.
1t is well known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coming from non-luminous sourc-
es, such as a stove or the heated
ground. This is the reason why heat
accunulates under the glass roof OF
a dollhouse.
II covered with Szigmondy's glass a
dollhouse would, 1t is claimed become. a
cold house, since the heat could not
get into it. One advantage set forth
in favor of the new glass is that a
house whose windows were furnished
with II would remain delightfully."- cool

What Doctors Die OF.

The diseases which claim the most
victims among physicians relatively
TO all males are govt and diabetes,
and there is a high relative mortality
from diseases of the nervous system,
circulatory system and kidneys.
From the nature of his habits the
physician is not subject to accidents,
and, though he is brought into con-
tact with infection to a greater extent
than other men, his preventive means
are successful and his mortality from
infection is very low Freedom from
prolonged muscular strains and high
blood tension apparently saves him
form arterioSclerosis, but suicide
claims many. and so do the drug hab-
its acquired by the ncrvously exhaust
ed II has been said that three
fourths OF French morphine users are
physicians.
The cause of the physicians early
death Is evidently the excessive ner-
vous expenditure, insufficient rest
and defective nutrition, inseparable
from his calling, with its broken and
restricted sleep, irregular hours of
work. rest and meals, the worry when
lives depend upon his judgment and the
lack Of a day of complete relaxation
in each week The physician who
sees his patients every day in the
week, month after month. and cannot
learn to forget them when he goes
home, merely burns the candle at
both ends He violates the law
obeyed by every other animal, that
there should be short periods of mod
crate exertion interrupted by longer
periods of rest when repairs are
made. 1t is not too much work as a
rule, but scattered work. which pre-
vents rest-American Magazine.

Ramle a substitute for Flax.

A representative of a Glasgow weav-
Ing company I'm writing to Consul
McCunn of Dunfermline i'm regard to
ramie says in part: Il may say that
the hairy appearance of spun and
woven ramie goods is due either TO all
of the following points or TO one or
the other of them: If ranie fibre Is
begummed more than flax the fibre is
more 'cottOnized' consequently tho
woven goods made thereof possess a
touch almost like cotton. The hairy
appearance Of the ramie yarn or
woven goods is a proof that the fibre
has not been properly combed-that is
to say, the fibre has not been drawn
and combed into equal lengths, and
by spinning not all the lengths of the
fibre has been caught into the torslon
of the yarn. In order to spin ran ie
like flax it ought TO contain as much
gum as fax, when ready for being
hacked. This can be done Further
the spinning machinery ought TO be
made suitable for the length of the
fibre, and care should be taken to
spin fibre combed to equal lengths
Assuming this were done properly
with a fibre not made brittle by the
misuse of chemicals, the results un-
doubtedly would be a regular yarn
with a firm touch like flax The
woven goods made thereof would not
show a hairy appearance II ore than
fax does. Ramie has no doubt d
great future, but regular supply Of
this fibre prepared in the state OF
fax for hacking must, in first in
stance, be created and sold on the
market at a price between jute and
fax. 1t is today possible to accom-
plish these two points, owing to the
fact that the fibre can now be eX-
tracted by machinery properly and
in quantity"

SIscOochee was leaning against a
tree. looking into the water. The
Wyandot rose AM stood before him.
He spoke slowly. "Suscoochee. the
Seneca was your father. the Wyandot
was mine"
Nine years passed ana thu Serecds
and Wyandots We're at war.
II was a Winter dlv in the year
1919 Two Senecas stood breathless-
ly at the entrance of a narrow cave
about three miles south of Lake ON
tario.
Ugh" exclaimed one. "the Wyan-
DIT dogs We're nos smart enough; we
are safe"
Yes. Kiashuta," replied the other.
They have won great victory but
they could not catch this Seneca"
Come let us CO. said Kiashuta.
and they walked on in silence. one
thinking of the message he was to
take to the Seneca chiefs, the other
of the great victory that had just
been won by the Wyandots
Suddenly KiashLta stopped. Here
is the lake" he said, and We mast
part With that kiashuta pulled a
hidden canoe from the bushes, pad
died swiftly and silently down the
lake
The other sat down on the Lanl
and leaned against tree. His
thoughts were of that day long years
ago when ne had stood in that same
place and listened to the tale that
had frozen his heart against the
friend of his boyhood Yet he did
not think of it with sorrow, but with
anger. His hatred for the young wy
andot grew stronger and stronger, I'm,
til he rose to leave the spot. But he
had not gone three steps before he
discovered lying before him the body
of an Indian. He stopped down and
gazed at the face-a cold thrill ran
through him. The man was asleep,
and even had he been awake he had
no weapon with which to defend him
self He was a Wyandot warrior, at
the mercy of a Seneca. But as the
Seneca looked his face turned 10
stone He took an arrow and fitted
ii to his bow The moment for which
he had waited all these years had ar
rived The son of the slayer of his
father was in his power! He stepped
back, but as he raised his bow his
eye caught a strange marking on the
tree against which he had leaneI. He
saw a chief representing the Wyan-
dot nation and chief representing
the Seneca nation clasping hands, and
under the Wyandot chief was cut the
totem of the Wolf. and under the Sen
eca chief the totem of the Deaver
Suschoochee turned and looked at the
sleeping man. He understood. And
as he took his culver OF arrows from
his back and laid them beside the
sleeping Wyandot his face was full
OF tenderness. His hand trembled rs
he placed his bow beside the arrows.
This was his sign of forgiveness,
and he sat down to wait for the eyes
of the sleeper to Washington

The Prince ard the Goat.

A cloud OF tales hovers about the
Prince of Wales on his return from
his long tour OF India Something
happened during his second visit to
Gwalior.
The Maharajah had established
some lion cubs in an inclosure One
morning the Prince strolled out TO
see them fed
He found them batting an unfor-
tunate live goat. with which they
were playing as cats with mouse.
1t was not at all a pleasant sight for
an English sportsman's eyes.
After watching the performance for
while the Prince exclaimed:
can't stand this any longer. He's
a jolly plucky goat and We must get
him cut somehow" Gen. Stuart
Beatson thought Of a lasso and the
work of salvage was commenced.
They had just got the moose over
the goat and were about to hoist him
up. when a liOness went for him in
earnest and it looked all up with him.
But the goat charged her and sent
her flying and before she could re-
turn to the attack the rope was over
him and he was hoisted up to safety.
On examination he was found TO
have escaped injury, barring a slight
cut on one leg, and he now roams
about, pensioner for life, adorned
with a massive silver collar with an
inscription explaining how the Prince
of Wales. future King Of England
and Emperor Of India, saved his life

How to Hold a Revolver.

There is a way to hold a revolver
by which more reasonable accuracy
can be secured than by the manner
in which it is ordinarily held" Mr..
George Clarke, the crack shot, in
forms me.
THE usual grasp of a revolver is
with the forefinger pressing the trig-
ger, and even many experts follow
this method, but it is not the best,
nevertheless, and i'm the case of one
who is not used TO handling the
weapon is not TO be advised.
The best way to hold a revolver
is with the second, or middle, finger
pressing the trigger, the forefnger
extending along the side of the barrel
in such a way that it will assist in
keeping the weapon steady. That is
the great desideratum in endeavoring
to make a shot with revolver, keep
ing the thing steady.
1T bucks up under the muscular
action required to pull the trigger
with the forefnger, and unless one
is thoroughly practiced the bullet Will
fly above the mark aimed at. An eN-
pert trains himself TO prevent this
bucking up, and the strength of his
wrists Is such, gained through prac-
tice, that it scarcely occurs at all,
therefore he decries any other than
the forefinger pull, though even he
might be more sure of better results
if he followed the method 1 have out
lined.
For inexperienced persons de-

prising burglar who may have gained
admittance to the house, the middle
finger pull is to be recommended, for
it does away with the bucking alto
