Cutting In.

A telegraph operator went with
friend to lunch in one of the uptown
restaurants. After they had been
there a few minutes the telegraph
operator called his friends attention
to pretty young woman seated at a
table on the side of the room, who
was toying with her spoon occasional
ly tapping gently with it on the side
of her plate. A well-dressed man
seated at table some distance away
was going through similar perform
ance. The telegraph operator in
formed his friend that the couple
were carrying on a Irritation by the
Morse alphabet.
Then he tapped few times with
his fork. The young man and woman
turned very red in the face and sud
denly departed. This is what the tel
egraph operator had signaled:
ooh, quit your spooning and get
married."

DREW ADMIRATION OF RusKIN.
Alpine Bird Compelled Thought Of
Writer and Philosopher.

While among the dark, piney. preci-
pices of the Chartreuse hills, one day,
the famous John Ruskin saw for the
third time what he thought the most
wonderful of all Alpine birds-a gray,
luttering, stealthy creature, about the
size of sparrow, but of colder gray
and more graceful, which haunts the
sides of the fiercest torrents. He
wrote: There Is something more
strange in it than in the sea-gull--
that seems a powerful creature, and
the power Of the sea not of kind so
adverse, so hopelessly destructive.
But this small creature, silent, tender
and light, almost like a moth in its
low and irregular fight, almost touch
ing with its wings the crests of waves
that would overthrow a granite wall,
and haunting the hollows of the black,
cold, herbless rocks that are continu-
ally shaken by their spray, has per-
haps the nearest approach to the look
of spiritual existence know in ami
NAL life"

CONFUSION IN DRAMATIC CLUB.
Only One Point on Which the Actors
Were Agreed,

In the old days in the town of Lit
Teton, Mass, there used to be a dra-
matte club, which included many
prominent men. Once play was be-
ing given in which Judge Bellows
courtly gentleman of the old school,
and certain DR.. Sanger were in the
cast. In the middle of the play all
forgot their parts. The prompter had
lost his place, and the players were in
despair. The audience began to gig.
gle, and the players looked appealing
ly at once another.
At the end, at the very denoument
of the play, Judge Bellows was sup
posed to exclaim, 81 know not what to
say" In his confused state of mind
this line happened to come to him,
and he gasped: 81 know not what to
say!"
And Dr. Sanger small and peppery,
snapped: "Well III be hanged If do"

The Irishman has humor, but when

One night there stood in front of
an auto shop one of that sort of men
whom liquor makes political orator.
Every question from the trusts to the
condition of the workingmen came
in for lurid if not lucid criticism.
Finally the color question came to his
mind and in less than ten minutes it
was solved with the facility of the
true reformer. All the negroes were
deported and running a nation of their
own.
At this point some small boys armed
with a bottle of settler began opera
lions, and by that time the profanity
of the speaker had reached high de-
kgree of efficiency.
All this time a negro had sat calmly
Indifferent to the curses heaped upon
him, answering with broad grins. At
last the speaker turned, saying: "You
want to make fool out of me?"

The Hummina Bird.

Scientifically humming birds are
"trochilidae," and those who make a
special study of them are "trochiN.
diste"-although the birds are not
identical with the old Greek "trochi-
lus" or runner" bird, which, accord
ing to Herodotus, enterSd the laws OF
the sleeping crocodile and obliged it's
big friend by picking leeches from his
throat. The Spanish name for the
humming bird is "tominejo"-meaning
a third of dram, and referring, of
course, to the BIRDS minuteness But
the prettiest names are those, such as
the French ''froufrou," which refer
to the humming noise sometimes pro-
duced by the almost incredibly rapid
vibration of the wings. "Purring with
her wings" is the expression OF
Thomas Morton q632), the first Eng
lish writer to mention the humming
bird. .-t

Gently l was brought Zip against the
fact that there is such thing as mind
reading, second sight, or something
OF that kind" said Charles Bradford,
at the Blatz hotel according to the
Milwaukee Sentinel. 81 have always
believed that demonstrations of mind
reading ordinarily seen were mere
matters of code arrangement, certain
questions indicating the answer and
all depending upon the form Of the
question.
"The other day, however, was
given an exhibition of mind reading
that was something out of the usual
run and could be explained by no set
OF questions and answers. The test
was too severe to permit of anything
of this kind, for entire sentences were
lected by people in the audience. and
transmitted to the bllndfolded opera
tor upon the stage. There was no
possible collision in the matter, for
myself fixed my mind upon passage

There was nothing mechanical
about this and no possibility of code

Whence the Nam. "Tlaer."

It is reported that when the prince
of Wales shot tiger in India awhile
ago, the beast charged him at full
speed. In so doing the tiger was do
ing it's best to live UP to the name Of
its kind. Tigers are so called because
of the swiftness of their movement,
especially iii springing upon prey,
"tighri" being the old Persian word
for an arrow. Hence it comes about
that the beast and the River Tigris
have the same name. There is no
direct connection between them, but
in both cases their swiftness was the
characteristic that impressed the early
name givers. The tigers name is
thus, perhaps, nearly as superior in
nobility to the hyena's, as the one
beast is to the other, since "hyena"
is merely Greek for SOW"

Juryman with Mind Made Up.

The late Judge Charles Doe was en-
gagged as an attorney previous to the
time he became a justice of the New
Hampshire supreme court. The case
was all in, the arguments heard, and
the Judge had instructed the jury to
retire and bring in verdict.
When the sheriff reached the jury
room he discovered that he had but
eleven jurymen. Returning he found
the twelfth man complacently occupy
ing a seat in the jury box. He ex-
planned to the juryman that he should
retire with his associates and bring in
verdict.
"Hain't got to retire." said the jury
man. Squire Hoar says it's SO, and
