RASCoE WOULD HAVE
ARRESTED BOGUS TOUGH.

1t is told that while at the recent
circus Police Chief Rascoe made more
fun than the clowns by an attempt
to place under arrest an employee OF
the show, and ne admits part of the
story.
Before the final races a man dress
ed as a laborer and acting like a
tough went ON the track and refused
to leave until he had made bet that
his horse could beat anything the cir
Gus could bring out. 1t was about the
time the ring-master was trying to
make him get out of the way that
Rascoe showed his desire to be al
ways on hand when needed. Chief
Rascoe started out after him, and
would have collared him in a minute
had not another officer grabbed him
by the coat-tail and held him long
enough to tell him that the supposed
tough was an employee of the show
and that his stunt was a part of the
performance.

FINED FOR VIOLATION
OF THE LIQUOR LAW.

One of the biggest trials on record
so far as attendance was concerned
was held this morning before Justice
A. J. Welter, when Harry Jones, a
negro, was given hearing on a city
warrant charging him with selling Ii
quor in a club on South Pecos ave
nue. without a license. The evidence
went to show that Jones gave away
beer with sandwiches that brought
from ten to twenty-five cents apiece.
He was found guilty and given fine
of $50 and costs. The defense was
represented BY J. T. Evans and R. d.
Bowers, who have given notice of an
appeal. Jones will be given a hearing
tomorrow on a territorial charge Gov
ering the same alleged offense.

CONCRETE TELEGRAPH POLES.
Test Of Some Made from This Mate
rial Proves Satisfactory.

Next to railroad ties telegraph and
telephone poles use up vast quantities
of trees, and it is hoped that concrete
poles will be found cheaper in both
initial cost and endurance.
Concrete telegraph poles may be
made of various forms, sizes and rein
forcement. Those above mentioned
taper from eight inches square at the
bottom to six inches at the top. the
corners are chamfered two inches, and
they are reinforced by two dozen
one-quarter inch wires running the
full length Of the pole. All necessary
holes, for braces, cross-arms, and
steps, are made in the molding.
Strange to say, remarks Popular
Mechanics, concrete poles show great
elasticity as well as strength, the tor-
mer depending upon the steel rein
forcement. Another style OF pole, tap
ering from ten inches to five lnches'
and reinforced by triangular pieces
one inch wide at each of the three
corners, was subjected to the follow
ing test: 1t was connected ny caDle
to cedar pole 25 feet distant, and at
a height of 81 feet from the ground.
Midway from the cable was suspended
a gradually increasing weight When
each pole had been DETECTED II inches
and the load had reached 975 pounds
the concrete pole began to crack from
the ground to the cable; but as soon
as the load was taken off, it straight
ened up. 1t seems to be as good as
ever, for it has been IN use for heavy
guy wires ever since, which is more
than a year. This style of pole, 80
feet long, can be made in quantity at
seven dollars, which is cheaper than
wood, provided no contract is paid to
a contractor.

"Our hours" said a nature stud
ent, ARE nothing to the birds. Why,
some birds work in the summer 10
hours a day. Indefatigably they clear
the crops of insects.
THE thrush gets up at 2:30 every
summer morning. He rolls up his
sleeves and falls to work at once. And
he never stops till $50 at night. A
clean 10 hours. During that time he
feeds his voracious young 2O6 times.
The blackbird starts work at the
same time as the thrush, but he lays
off earlier. His whistle blows at 1880,
and during his 17-hour day he sets
about 100 meals before his kiddies.
"The titmouse is up and about by 3
mouse is said to feed his young, AIT
in the morning, and his stopping time
is at night. A fast worker, the tit
meals-meals of caterpillar mainly
in the long, hard, hot day."

What a Dukes Son Looks Like.

q NSENS . SOIl GOONo Inv
The Duke of Devonshire, as all the
world knows never went in much
for dress, consequently his presence
as pedestrian in the West End was
hardly ever noticed. When Marquis
of Harrington it was his daily prac-
tice to walk from the house, up Water
loo Place, down Piccadilly to Devon
shire House, taking mental note of
the people he passed and always be-
ing interested in the shop windows.
He generally stood for some time
looking at the photos shown at the
stationers. One day a man and a
woman were looking at the same pho
tos. Look, Mary" said the man,
this ones the Marquis of Harrington,
son of the Duke of Devonshire." "Oh
john" said the woman, u may be
ignorant, but l amt no fool. That
kind of looking chap the son of a
Duke! No nonsense for me. Come
on" The duke must have thought
of the proverb about listeners.-Lon.

Sermon In a Few Words.

We are very much impressed by
something we saw and heard while
passing along the street a few even
ings since. A young girl was stand
ing in front of store, and near her,
with hang-dog expression on his
face, was a young STRIPPING of a boy.
AS we passed the two, the girl said to
the boy: ANY one who speaks of my
father as the old man Is not worthy
Of my respect" From the tone of her
voice, we knew that the girl spoke
from the impulse Of moment, but
there was whole sermon in her ut
terance. We don't know the girl, but if
she lives she will develop into noble
womanhood, and the world will be
the better for her having lived in it.
And the boy, if he has any redeeming
qualities in him, will profit by the les
son given him in that one SENTENCE

Boys" said the young Malay prince,
a Harvard student, "I'll show you,
now how to make a fire by rubbing
two sticks together. 1t is a hard and
wearisome thing to do, but we must
cook these clans. Mark Twain says
you can't rub fire out of sticks. Now
I'll show you that he is wrong. He
doesn't know how to go about it.
that's the trouble"
An oaken log lay on the sand. With
the hatchet the prince made a narrow
groove In the log, a canal two feet
long. Then he cut of from one end an
oaken peg foot long and the thick
ness of his wrist. This he sharpened
into the likeness Of huge lead pencil
"Now," he said.
And kneeling, he began to rub the
sharp end of the peg up and down in
the groove. He rubbed as hard and
as fast as he could. His broad breast
heaved with the labor, his handsome
brown face dripped with heat.
But at the end of five minutes the
groove began to send up little blue
wisps Of smoke into the clear air and
a moment later tiny fame flickered
and vanished.
