ARRIVED AT A GREAT TRUTH.
Conclusion Of Absent-Minded Man
That Was Very Natural.

Daniel Drew was an exceedingly abb

charming anecdotes has had occasion
to remind us. Here Is a story, how
ever, that Depew never got hold Of:
Drew made a point Of buying all
his own clothing, against repeated
protests from his wife, who was fire.
Quently at her wits ends to know
how to manage his somewhat illy-as-
sorted wardrobe.

must get some underdrawers." (She
spoke Of course in the seclusion Of
their own apartments.)
Eyes, my dear" was the reply; and
that night Daniel came home with a
bundle containing undershirts. Under.
shirts he had in great abundance, but
of the article his wife had suggested
his buying the specimens on hand

lady's patience was exhausted. When
next she prepared clean clothes fol
him she laid out two undershirts and
no underdrawers. When he had
dressed and gone out she found evil

Remarkable BRIDGES.

Among the many old hooks and o r
ners and crannies Of the auld Emer-
aid Isle is C~arrick-a.rede. on the
Great Northern railroad, of Ireland.
It is an isolated rock, separated from
the mainland by a chasm sixty feet
wide and more than eighty feet deep,
and 1t Is at this place that the salmon
are intercepted in their retreat to the
rivers. A rude bridge Of ropes Is
thrown across, which remains during
the fishing season, and this bridge
which is protected by a single rope
rail, swings about in the most uncom'
Portable manner, often rendering 1t
a dangerous feat In stormy weather
save to the natives, who cross 1t with
the utmost Indifference. The name

No one quite knows why the prevail

Horticulturists have produced pop

be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-

Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name OF person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
"grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape.Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to.
gether and those beginning with L to
come under Il, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, In the A, T.
and other columns, to fill In later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.

t~estants will tie with others. In such

WAR DEPARTMENT
TO SEND 25OO
TROOPS TO COAST
Rv Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-The war
department has decided to send Cen
eral Greedy at San Francisco the addi-
tional 250O troops that he has asked
for.
In a telegram sent from San Fran
cisco today the general insisted upon
the necessity of additional troops for
policing that city.
The troops, he says, have main
tanned the high standard Of the
American army, but continuance of
mental and physical stress is not ad-
visable in the present high tension of
the people.
According to an estimate of 100000
destitute, there is but one soldier for
every hundred persons and the addi-
tional troops asked for would give but
two soldiers per hundred.
The additional troops to be sent are
as follows:
Eleventh infantry from Fort D. A.
Russell; Twenty-seventh infantry from
Fort Sheridan; Twenty eighth infantry
headquarters, band and three compa-
nies) from Fort Smelling; First cavalry,
Fort Clarke and Fort Sam Houston;
two squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry
from Fort Des Moines, Iowa.
