Pigeon Tragedy.

On one of the late gray afternoons there was an almost unnoticed tragedy in the financial district. The pigeons were circling in and out about the tall buildings. High above them a dark spot was sweeping in long easy, curves. Suddenly it shot downward upon flock of the pigeons like bolt from bow, and as it rapidly stopped toward earth it was seen to be hen harrier. In it's flight it swept under d pigeon, cutting it out from the flock and driving it upward. The pigeon struggled to reach a refuge among the urns that pinnacle the loft rearward extension of GO Clark street. The hawk proved too strong in flight, soar ed once more above it's victim, stoop- ed again, and sailed away with the pigeon, leaving no sign of the murder except a few floating feathers and q drop of red that spattered on the shirt waist of a stenographer passing along the street far below. A common enough tragedy of the air in the coun- try, but not often seen over city roofs Chicago Inter- Ocean.

ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND.
Human Nature Ever Prone te Get
 Something for Nothing.

Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
 Something for Nothing.
 Human nature may be more pro ductively worked than gold mine If you know a right method, says the Atlanta Journal.
 General Manager Chipman of the h. dianapolis and Eastern Electric rail way, recently utilized his knowledge of human nature in novel way.
 His company had park the soil of which it wanted to blow up and pull verize thoroughly at small cost, at the same time attracting some traffic to the park. It therefore buried $500 in gold coin in various parts of the park and threw the place open to any pa tron of the street cars that wished to dig, prescribing only that none but small hand implements should be used.
 The plan worked admirably. The cars were thronged by amateur miners and by the time all the coin was found the entire surface of the park had been loosened up and reduced to powder to an extent that no landscape gardener ever saw equaled. The street car con- pany got its $500 back in fares and at the same time gots its park thoroughly plOwed for nothing. Many will ten derly recall the old school reader story )f the dying father who called his sons 10 his bedside and informed them that, though the old farm he was about to leave them was worn out and had be- come unproductive, there was buried somewhere upon it a great treasure and if they would consistently dig for it they would surely find rich reward. The sons digged and digged and dgged, turning the old farm upside down and inside out, and, though they found no sign of the gold they expect ed their harvests of grain became enormous and their reward was richer than they knew.
 Through some peculiarity in our construction we are willing to work ten times as hard ito get something for nothing" as to earn it in ordiary wages.

He Spoiled Mas Scheme.

w. Caryl Ely of Buffalo, the presi- dent of the American Street Railway Associa tion, was talking at the con vention in Philadelphia about motor mems and conductors adventures.
 "A conductor came to me with q smiling face the other day" he said. He wanted to tell me what had hap pened on an incoming car. It seems that a middle-aged woman and her little son, lad of 6 or years, got on the car, and as soon as they were seated the woman took half-dollar out of her pocket and handed it to the youngster to pay the fare with. The boy held the coin in his small fat hand, and examined it closely and sol emnly. The conductor appeared for the fares, and the youngster gave him the half-dollar with owlish solemnity The money was pocketed and 40 cents in change was put in the small, ex- tended hand. As soon as he got this change the boy laughed, wriggled in his seat and shouted gleefully:
 "'Oh, ma, he's taken the bad half dOllarv"

Prices for Butterflies.

Butterfly collectors arc seldom able to estimate with any confidence the value of their collections, since the prices for specimens so constantly vary. A case in point is that of the blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens of which were originally sold for from $50 to $75. Not long ago some col lectors who supplied the London mar ket ran into perfect swarm of these butterflies and shipped to England such quantities that better specimens than the original insects are sold for $1 each. It not infrequently happens that two or three specimens of cer tain family are discovered by col lectOrs, who, encouraged by the high prices received for their finds, are tempted to prosecute their search for this particular variety without resu% for several years. Suddenly they or some other collector finds the insects grown plentiful, and the cherished varieties of the cabinet become among tbe commonest specimens.

RAILROAD RUNS A LOTTERY.
Scheme Tried in Mexico to Keep Con-
 ductOrs Honest.

Scheme Tried in Mexico to Keep Con-
 ductors Honest.
 George W. Hubbard, who recently resigned as general passenger agent of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad to take similar position with the national lines of Mexico, writes of a novel method adopted by one of the street car companies in the City of Mexico to protect itself from loss through the dishonesty of its en- ployes, says dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle. Mir. Hubbard says that 1t is estimated the company has been losing $l,00O day by reason of the failure of the conductors to turn in all the money collected. The plan now to be experimented with to stop the practice is a lottery ticket scheme.
 The feature which is of greatest in- terest to the public is that duplicate numbers of the ticket or checks issued by the conductors to passengers are to be placed in lottery to be drawn under government supervision at the end of each month. The holders of the fortunate numbers are awarded cash prizes which range In value from $2.50 to $100. Tickets in the draw ing are given free to passengers, the only stipulation being that they shall preserve them until the end of the month. Notices to this effect have been posted in the cars and in addition the company is distributing pamphlet printed in Spanish, French and Eng fish, describing the operation of the scheme.
 MT. Hubbard says that it is quite certain all passengers will insist upon getting from the conductors a ticket representing the amount of the fare paid. Many patrons of the tramways are providing themselves with small card cases in which to preserve their tickets, and it is expected that the business of the company will show considerable increase as result of the general desire to secure all the chances possible.
 The greater part of the patronage of the cars comes from people of the poorer classes and those of moderate means. It is, therefore, quite probable that the larger number of prizes, which are 209 in number, viii be dis tributed each month among people to whom the money will come as real bepefactiop.

Could Give Time Value.

Dr. w. w. Keen, the noted surgeon of Philadelphia. was prasing speed in surgical operations The best sur. geons, he declared, were always the swiftest. Speed was one of the great essentials of fine operations, since the briefer the period passed by the pa. tient under the knife, the greater the chance for his complete recovery.
 "On this head" Dr. Keen continued, smiling, there is story of distin' gujshed, surgeon.
 He performed successfully a diff cult and delicate operation on mil lionaire bankers wife, and, naturally, the bill that he rendered for this oper> ation was large one. It was not exorbitant, but it was ehough-a req. sonable and just bill.
 "The banker, though, thought other. wise. With an imprecation, he de- clared the bill to be an outrage.
 "'Why,' he cried, the operation only took you 10 minutes
 "The surgeon laughed,
 "'Oh,' he said, if that is your only objection, the next time any of your family needs an operation I'll keep them two or three hoNrs under the knife.'"
