He Won THE WAGER.-A mans curl
osity got the better OF him In Back
Bay lodging house one day this week
and he paid for it, as is usually the
case, says the Boston Globe. He
said he hadn't seen the landlady
during his stay Of three months, the
rent being paid to the housekeeper,
and a friend to whom he made the
remark said that she was around
about every day-in fact, he wouldn't
be surprised If she was in the house
then.
To test his confidence he was will
ing to wager the cigars that she was
there, and his doubling friend con-
sidered 1t too easy a thing to lose, so
he said, Agreed. Then the man who
was certain proceeded to win easily.
Seizing a plate from the table he
dropped 1t upon the floor, and in less
than a minute the woman OF the
house was on the scene inquiring
about the cause Of the noise. The
doubter was satisfied.

HOW cHINcHILLAs ARE CAUGHT
Little Fur Bearing Animal That ls IN
DANCER of determination.

Little Fur Bearing Animal That ls In
Danger Of determination.
The chinchilla is one Of the very
few really valuable fur bearing ami
mails found in South America, Its
range is extremely limited. the little
burrowing animal being discernible
in numbers only along the higher
attitudes OF the Andes Mountains In
Chill and Bolivia, where 1t has hith-
erto fairly abounded but is now In
danger of early extinction owing to
the fashionable favor accorded the
fur and the consequent high price OF
the skins. ..
AS the officials of Chill and Bolivia
realize the importance to those coun-
tries of perpetuating the chinchilla,
laws for Its protection are being pass
ed. AS the little creature inhabits
wild and rugged districts, in in
stances almost inaccessible to any
save those familiar with the Rocky
Mountain trails. the chinchilla hun
ter conducts his operations quite
fearless Of the game wardeRs.
Unless the demand of the fur
wearer and values decline materially
we may expect to witness the exter-
mination Of the chinchilla within
brief period, says the Fur News.
Should this undesirable result be ap-
proximated, the demand would cease
for lack OF supply and the chinchilla
would doubtless again multiply rap
idly.
During the season 1905 the collec-
tion reached the total, in round num-
bers, Of 218,000 skins. Of which all but
about $4,000 skins secured for Paris
were shipped to New York for local
consumption or distribution abroad.
The season for catching the chin
chilla runs from January to June and
Is industriously conducted. The
chinchilla hunters go out in parties
Of three or four accompanied by
about half a dozen we'll trained dogs
and nothing else, no guns or traps
being used, as trapping Is an industry
as yet unknown In that part Of the
country. The dogs, resembling our
fox terrier, catch and deftly kill
them. These dogs are so we'll trained
in this work Of destruction that they
rarely iniure the fur to an appreci-
able extent.
AS soon as the chinchillas have
been despatched by the dogs the men
remove the skins and rather crudely
stretch them to dry. After a hunt
from four to six weeks hunters and
dogs make their way back to the
coast with their catch, and the men
dispose Of the skins, from three to
fifteen dozen according to luck, and
after a few days spent In town In
riotous living the hunters go off on
another expedition to some other
part Of the mountain where they are
reasonably sure chinchillas abound
and q golden harvest awaits their
gathering.

A JUDICIAL PRIvLEGE.-In a south

attorney, one of the counsel paused in
his argument, remarking to the
Judge:
II observe that your honor shakes
his head at that statement 1 desire
to reaffi-m 1t, although your honor
dissents."
'I am not aware" coldly respond
ed the Judge, that 1 have intimated
how shall construe the evidence, nor
what my decision will be in the pre-
misses. Your'remark is, therefore. en-
tirely uncalled for"

know, sir, that I reserve the right 10

pleases me."-Harper's Weekly.

FoILED AFTER ALL.-During the
Peninsular war a number of English
officers had established a mess in a
Spanish village. with native cooks,
whose efforts were fairly satisfactory
to the keen appetites of the cam
paigners. They were Joined, however,
by a certain peevish, cantankerous
major who bitterly complained that
every dish was favored with sugar,
after the Spanish fashion, and quite
uneatable. Finally he confined him
self to diet OF eggs boiled in the
shell. They can't sugar those!" he
cried triumphantly. But his triumph
was short lived. Next morning some
mischievous subs were at the mess ta-
BILE before the major and emptied all
the salt cellars, replacing their con-
tents with powdered sugar. The ma
jor soon appeared and with gloomy
complacency began upon an egg, with
which, as usual, he took plenty OF
salt" At the first mouthful his face
turned purple with rage. "Sugared.
by Jove!" he exclaimed and rushed off
to his tent.

A HUMoRIsTs NEAT Hit.-An Eng
lish humorist many years ago hit
upon a neat way Of scoring
against certain politicians Of the
times. A comic journal. not be-
ing a newspaper within the mean
ing of the act, was prohibited from
giving the news, and so, in place Of
a parliamentary report, the humor-
ist in question reported few first
lines from speeches of prominent
members: "Sir Charles Wetherell
said he was not sensible 'Mr.
Hunt was entirely ignorant"
Lord Ashley said he should take
the earliest opportunity Of NOV
ing" Colonel Sibthrope never
could understand" Lord Lyn-
burst said he must entreat Of every
one to give him credit" ''Sir Ed

who thought" Mr.. Croker said

WILLING TO RETIRE.-A certain
prosy preacher recently gave an end
less discourse on the prophets. First
he dwelt at length on the minor
prophets. At last he finished them,
and the congregation gave a sigh of
relief. He took a long breath, and
continued: Now, I shall proceed to
the major prophets" After the ma
jor prophets had received more than
ample attention. the congregation
gave another sigh Of relief Now
that have finished with the minor
prophets. and the major prophets,
what about jeremiah? Where is
