Fair Play.

An attache of the American en-
bassy at London tells story of a
butler in the employ of fine old
English family whose long service
had inculcated in him a personal
and proprietary interest in the sons
and daughters OF the house. Once,
on the occasion of Il large dinner
party, the conscientious butler OBJ
served that one OF the members OF
the family, yong gi-l who had

deyoting an amount of attention to
Ecr agreeable neighbor on the right
obviously in excess Of that accorded
to the less fascinating man on her
left. This fact perturbed the but
Ter to degree that could no longer
be borne in silence. So under pre-
tense of passing the culpr:E l. dish
the butler managed TO whisper re-
spectfuIly in her ear:

HARD FIGHTERS.
Stieklebacks Will Attack Ono Another
or Anything Else.

The stickleback is the most com
bative fish, according to an angling
expert. 'SThe raison d'etre for I
stickleback encounter" says the
writer, "is generally, | believe, that
which actuates men to fight over
women. When have watched them
myself / have not been able to learn
whether there has been lady tid-
der present or not or, if so, which
one she was. But, whatever the
motive may have been, l have seen
them fight with as much despera-
ton as would have been necessary
if forty females had been the point
of issue. Not only will they fight
one another, but they will even 60
out of their way to attack anything
which may appear to them often
sive, and if walking stick be put
into the water near a fight the two
combatants will almost surely sus-
pend personal animosities for
awhile and make for the stick, but
ting it with their horny noses and
trying to saw it in two by swimming
on their sides with their stickles
rubbing against tie wood. Having
conquered the stick, the two turn
against each o..ler a~ain.

sides and giils glow with scarlet and

The First Steamboat Whistle.

Early in May, 18Th, the steamer
Rochester departed from Buffalo,
bound for Chicago. The engineer
was mechanical genius named Nc
Gee, and he had constructed a
steam whistle from plans which he
had seen in a scientific paper. On
the way up the lakes he blew it at
every stop, much to the astonish-
ment and terror of the inhabitants.

81 heard in my youth" said Sir
Charles Murray, lone of many curl
Gus stories of Sir John Shaw. SHe
was most eccentric in his appear
ance and dress and cared nothing
for tidiness in the grounds imme-
diately surrounding his house. One
day he invited two gentlemen from
Edinburgh to dine with him, at Car
mock. As was the custom of the
time, they appeared before dinner
in knee breeches, silk stockings and
thin shoes. The weather being fine,
Sir John invited them to take turn
in the garden. Civilly and thought
lessly they followed their host and
soon found themselves skipping
among nettles and thistles, to the
great discomfort of their unfortu-
nate calves. Sir John, who was clad,
as usual, in corduroy breeches and
top boots, said to them, with polite
gravity, Step cot, step oot, gen

FINISHED TIE BOOK.
When the Reader Got Through Thers
Was Nothing Left.

a queer character was man |
met once while in Kinsley, Kan.
Where he came from | didn't find
out, nor yet where he was bound.
From his grips and general appear
ance l guessed him to be a CONNER
cial traveller. Doubtless he was.
When l first saw him he was buy
ing book in a Kinsley store-one
of the late novels, neatly and at
tractively bound in cloth, and he
paid for it $1.25.
His course as he left the store
with his purchase was what nailed
my attention. He had the book in
his hands unwrapped, having waived
the parceling of the same as unnec-
essary. He halted at the door, bent
both covers back and caolly ripped
them off and tossed them into the
street. Then he "cut" the volume
as one might deck of cards, about
the middle, bent the two halves back
till they met and then ripped them
apart as coolly as he had torn off the
cover.
l was naturally astonished. Who
was this man? Was he some ex-
purgator? Was the book a menace
to morals? l took quick glance at
the discarded covers. 1t was one of
the best of the recently issued fc-
ton. My man tucked the first half
of his book into the side pocket of
his coat. The other half he thrust
into the smaller of his two grips.
And then both of US headed for the
train.
We rode together as far as
Hutchinson. | purposely selected
a seat near him. He raised win
dow and settled himself comforta-
bly, and pulled the half book from
his pocket. He tore off the first
page, laid the rest of the volume be-
side him on the seat and read tie
single leaf.
From the way his eyes moved l
saw he was a skinner" In no
time he had finished page l. l
knew that, for he turned the leaf.
And when page ? was read | knew
that, too, for he quietly crumplcd
up the leaf and tossed it out OF the
car window. And then he tore off
the next leaf. And in due time it
went the same route. And so it
went on. All the way from Kins-
ley to Hutchinson he left trail of
crumpled leaves. When he had fin
ished the book the book was finish
ed too.-kansas City Star.

The white Feather"

An official of the Smithsonian in
stitution was speaking Of the origin
of some well known phrases and
pointed to a small mounted bird.
This bird was a French gray on the
back, drab breast, black wings and
with a small but conspicuous white
spot at the base of the tail. ''That
is wheatear," the official said. ut
is very common in Scotland, where
it is known as the 'clacharan.' 1t is
from this bird that we get the ex-

When You Are In a Tunnel.

1t is most curious fact, but the
approach Of a train in tunnel may
be easily ascertained some seconds
before it becomes visible to those
travelling toward it in an opposite
direction. The length of a tunnel
j.; - obstacle to the realization OF
dis curious phenomenon, and COM
pres ed air is the medium which
produces the peculiar under wa
ter" sensation. Without any warn

m&tjcaIly pressed inward the mo-
mcat the locomotive of the other
rain enters the tannel, which for
all practical purposes is only a large

noticed this peculiar feeling in the
ears without giving the matter a
second thought. Others have wop
bc,,s upon the chances of the tunnel
containing more than one train at
