An Incident OF Lif

An Incident OF Life In New York.
The street beggar with pockets lined
with money is a fairly familiar figure
of city life, but one of the free dis
pensaries reports an instance Of an
attempt to get free medicine on the
plea Of poverty that deserves a place
in the catalogue of good stories Of
graft. A middle aged woman ap-
peared the other day and got a pre-
scription, after which she took her
place in the line of persons waiting to
have their medicine made up by the
apothecary. This particular woman,
it should be said, had given satisfac-
tory answers to all the questions put
to her designed to show whether she
was proper subject for charity. SUD
Ienly there was cry: I'm robbed.
I'm robbedr' The victim was this
woman, who so far forgot her previous
professions as to assert that her
pocket had been picked and that the
thief had got away with $50. Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view,
insult TO injury.-New York Post.

why Larks Are Easily Caught.


No bird is so easily netted as the
lark; ne generally starts from the
ground just before the lower edge of
the net touches him and invariably
mounts perpendicularly. This char
acteristic propensity to ascend at once
may be observed by any person who
threads up lark in a field and salts
factorily illustrated by releasing, at the
same moment, newly captured lark
and a sparrow from a cage or hat
within the precincts Of a room. While
the sparrow wiz fly off horizontally.
dash himself against the window and
lie almost stunned from the shock, the
lark will almost always mount up
ward to the ceiling and futter there
for a time in vain efforts to reach
the sky before he attempts any other
mode Of exit; but this habit is fatal to
him in the netting season. He would
generally be able to escape, as indeed
the bunting or clod bird, the sparrow
and the linnet constantly do, by flying
straight forward; but ascending, as he
does, directly from the ground the mo
ment his wings have touched the upper
part of the net it is suffered to drop
suddenly, and his capture is rendered
nevitable.-London Standard.

REPUBLICANS OF NEBRASKA
Editor Rosewater Beaten for Senator
Roosevelt Preferred for the
1908 Campaign.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 23.-Beginning
at p. M, with a brief recess for sup
per, the Republican state convention
at II D. m. had neither completed its
ticket or adopted a platform. The two
chief places on the ticket were filled
by the nomination of Attorney Gener-
al Norris Brown for United States sen
ator and State Senator George L. SAel-
don for governor. Melville r. Hope
we'll was nominated for lieutenant
gov rnor.
Editor Edward Rosewater was
Browns most dangerous opponent. The
platform is a standard Republican dec
laration, with adherence to the protec-
tive tariff announced. but belief that
schedules are not sacred. The feature
is a declarationof preference for Roose-
welt in 1908.
