unintelliaent Eyes.

An F street optician had funny ex-
perience the other day, which he is still
telling his friends about. He had bare
ly gotten to his place on this particular
morning when in marched little old
man, Of apparently 60-odd years, and
undoubtedly a resident in an agricul-
tural district.
He wanted q pair Of glasses, and SO
he told the optician, who Immediately
got his paraphernalia out and started
In to apply the eye tests.
At first the doctor tried the old fel-
low with a printed card, which he held
about thirty feet from the farmer, and
he said to him:
"Can you read that?"
mo, can't" snapped back the visi-
tor ...... ...."
The card was then advanced up to
twenty feet and he was asked II ne
could then read it? Again he said ne
could not. ...
well" said the optician, here 1t Is
at fifteen feet. Can you read it now?'
mo, / can't read it, mister" replied
the old fellow, who was getting impa-
tient and restive under the examina-
ton.
~Can you read it now?" asked the
optician as he brought the card up to
the ten-foot mark
mo, 1 can't read it." cried the far
mer, with some show Of temper; "ano
how can We expect me to read when
amt never yet learned how?"-Wash-

ELEPHANTS ATTACK MISSION.
One of the ineonvenienees Of Farming
In Central Africa.

In Central Africa.
The Rev. Mr. Grantham, in charge
Of the Wesleyan mission at Lomagun-
di, sends particulars of a raid made
by herd Of elephants, which resulted
in the loss Of life.
He says: II shall be glad IL you will
make known through the medium or
your paper the following incident and
my comments on 1t in the hope that
public sentiment may be. aroused
against a condition of things in which
many suffer for the sake Of a fad OF
a few, who share none Of the misery
that their hobby infiicts upon others.
In May last the native gardens on this
farm suffered serious damage from the
incursion of a troop Of elephants that
visited us seven nights in succession.
In this respect we are not the only
sufferers, for am constantly hearing
Of the same kind Of thing throughout
the neighborhood. We have no lawfui
means of protecting our crops, and
applications for damages are ignored.
ION Friday morning two old natives
and a picannin, who had been sleep
II ing in a skerm erected in the lands,
awoke to find that ten full grown ele-
plants and three calves were within a
few yards of where they lay. The
natives fed in terror, pursued by one
OF the beasts, which, was apparently
enraged at the sight Of human beings
in such close proximity to the calves.
The picannin was just on the point OF
being tusked, but saved himself by
rushing on hands and knees through
the branches Of a fallen tree. The ele-
phant tossed these aside, and contin-
ued in pursuit of the old men. One
escaped, but the other was overtaken
in about 100 yards, and the vicious
beast transfixed him through the back,
the protruding tusk ploughing deeply
into the soil.
1.-The furious animal then proceeded
to rip It's victim to pieces, splitting one
| leg from bullock to calf and an arm
from shoulder to wrist He just lived
long enough to urge his friend to fly
back to the kraal, or no one would be
left to tell the tale.
1--WE are told that in strict self-de-
fence they may be fired upon. Are we
then to wait until one Of the brutes is
in the act Of charging upon us ere we
pull a hasty trigger, which is more
likely than not to be our last? And
what is the use Of firing at one angry
elephant when several others are
standing by ready to take up the cause
of their companion If it does fall?
'It is popularity supposed that ele-
plants will not attack a human being
unless they are molested by him, but
they will invariably do so II the herd
contains any calves. A price is set
upon the head Of lions-beasts that
rarely initiate an attack upon human
beings, and whose depredations are
generally confined to cattle kraals and
spans OF donkeys. Why, then. should
elephants, which in this district are a
much greater scourge than lions. be
protected, and the killing Of one be a
criminal offence?"-Rhodesia Herald.

A CHANGE OF FACE.-As the Pratt's
dog was at last detached from the
trouser leg Of the new milkman by
Mr.. Pratt's vigorous efforts, the victim
Of. the onslaught began to express his
mind with considerable freedom.
Il wouldn't keep a dog like that" he
said, Indignantly, but Mr.. Pratt broke
in before he had time to say more.
He's only playful, that's ALL" he in
sisted, and at the same time he press
ed something into the new milkman's
hand.
The man glanced at the wad OF
green, and then, as he transferred 1t to
a safe pocket, his expression changed
Il guess / can take little fun as
we'll as anybody" he said dryly. but
till you explained it, I had a notion
that dog was in earnest when he Bit
that piece out of my trousers.

THE ONE THING ATTACHABLE.-A
Kansas City man recently wrote to a
lawyer in another town Of the state
asking for information touching the
standing Of a person there who had
owed the Kansas City individual a
considerable sum of money for a long
time.
What property has he that I could
attach?" was one of the questions ask
ed.
The lawyers reply was to the point.
1.-The person to whom you REFER" he
wrote, died a year ago. He has left
nothing subject to attachment except
a wldow."-Harper's Weekly.

AN EXTENSIVE FTRE.-She was a
splendid servant, but she didn't know
anything about gas to cook with, so
he went to the kitchen with her to ex-
plain about the range. So that she
could see how 1t was operated he Lit
each Of the many burners. While still
explaining a message called him from
the kitchen, and he left her, saying, i
guess you will find that it will work
all right now, Martha"
He didn't see the cook again for four
or five days, then upon entering the
kitchen he said, "Well, Martha, how's
that range doing?"
To his utter CONSERVATION, she re-
piled:
Deed, sir, that's the best stove I
ever did see. That fire what you kim
died for me four days ago is still a.
burning, and it amt even lowered
once."-Houston Post.

THE NRoPHYTE-The candidate ror
initiation into the Illustrious order
of whangdoodles had been tossed In a
blanket, subjected to a hair cut with
a pair of sheep shears, compelled 70
walk on a gravel path with bare feet

his sliding down an inclined plane
and splashing into a tank Of ice water
at the foot.
Then he was stood up before high
dignitary, who thus addressed him:
Stranger, you have safely passed

ancient and honorable order, and we
hail you as a tried and we'll beloved

DOG. GIRL, AND SALooN.-A very
large mastiff at one end Of a leash and
a very small girl at the other enc
formed a combination which attracted
the attention Of casual pedestrian
in a quiet side street.
The little girl doubtless thought thai
she was taking the dog out for an
airing, but the big animal himself ap-
reared to have the impression that ne
was the leader Of the expedition, and
beyond question, the balance OF power
was entirely on his side. He dragged
the girl along. despite her scoldine
and expostulation, at a pace which
kept her breathless.
Suddenly, either from a whim OF MS
own or because somebody had been
in the habit Of taking him there, ne
darted through the swinging doors oi
a corner saloon. The little girl looked
Mortified, but, ciinging determinedly TO
her end of the leash, she followed her
charge, and as the doors swung shul
behind her the casual pedestrian hearo
this exasperated remonstrance:
"Oh, darnfound 1t! Don't you Kho"
ladies don't go there? It's only place
for mans!"-New York Times.

fire was very low. His companion was
fast asleep.
It isn't nice to get out Of warm
blanket to roll frosty logs to the fire.
SO the willy New Yorker gave his friend
a kick and then pretended to be asleep
There was no response, and presently
the man from New York tried another
kick.
At this the westerner broke into q
laugh. 'I did the same thing to you
twenty minutes ago." he explained

awake"
Then of course, both turned out to

Altoona, July 16.-"Hello! is that
the hospital? I'm shot. Will you ad-

These were the words that came to
nurse at the Altoona hospital at 3
o'clock Sunday morning, when she
answered a telephone ring.
Half an hour later Frank Vallale,
musician, weak from loss of blood, ap-
peared at the institution, suffering
from a bullet wound near the heart.
He told the physicians an enemy lay
IN wait for him and shot him while he
was on his way home.
Chief of Police Tillard investigated
and discovered, it is said, that feud
of long standing, with a young wo-
man at the bottom, caused the shoot

Frank Moore, a bandmaster, were ri.

man.
Moore, who was arrested, told the

LED A DOUBLE LIFE.
Young Man Was ocuIist by Day and
Burglar by Niqht.

Coatesville, Pa, July 16. - Having
led DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde exist
ence for more than a year, stealing
by night and practicing as an oculist
by day, DR.. Benjamin Holbrook of
West Brandywine township has con.
fessed many small burglaries and is
now in the West Chester Jail.
As the ocuist is we'll connected and
seems to he truly penitent. and as he
has made clean breast Of his mis-
doings. the Pennsylvania railroads
detectives VINO succeeded in drawing
the mask from the man have decided
to ask for a light sentence. So the
doctor will appear before next quar-
ter sessions. admit his strange double
life, and throw himself upon the
mercy of the court.
It is said that Holbrook, while os-
tensibly living most respectable life
as struggling young practitioner, Is
known to have committed at least
eight burglaries. II may be that he
has been guilty of more offenseS than
this, but he says not, and has cen
vinced the officers that he tells the
truth.
Holbrook kept his own horse and
buggy. At night he drove long dis
tances from home, tied his rig In the
woods and then went forth as burg
lar. The particular thefts that proved
his undoing were at Wyebrook on the
Downingtown and New Holland rail
road and at Buck Run, small sta
tion on the Pomeroy branch of the
Pennsylvania.
In each of these small places DR..
Holbrook broke into the railroad sta
tion in the dead of night, stealing all
the mileage and other railroad tick
cts. the change in the cash drawer
and even such heavier articles as
typewriter and copying press.

TEN FAMILIES HOMELESS.
Explosion of Coal Lamp and Of Blast.
ina Powders In Blaze.

Irwin, Pa, July 16. - A tenement
house fire, resulting from an explod-
Ing lamp, rendered 10 families home
less here. Mrs. John Marais, min
er's wife, tripped while carrying
lighted lamp. The burning oil started
fire in which both the woman and
her husband were slightly burned.
They had scarcely escaped from
their rooms when several pounds of
powder, kept by Marals for use in the
mine, exploded, spreading the flames
so rapidly that the other tenants had
to fee in their night clothing, leaving
all their belongings, which were de-
stroyed with the structure.
Several Syrian pedlers lived in the
building, and they lost money aggre'
eating $1,000. The 10 homeless fam
lilies are now quartered in a formerly
vacant house without furniture.

New Concrete Building Fell.

Three men were killed, one fatal
ly hurt and Is others were injured in
the collapse of a new concrete build
ing at the plant of Bridgman Broth
ers company, manufacturers of steam
filters supplies, in the southwestern
part Of Philadelphia.
The building was just being put un-
der roof, when a section about 80 feet
wide and extending the entire depth
of the structure went down. About 30
men we're at work on the side which
gave way.
The corpses of Marshall Hopkins
and of two unidentified negroes were
taken from the ruins.
Jacob Smith, workman, was buried
under the debris and crushed so that
he cannot live
The building which was being erect
ed as an annex to the Bridgman plant
collapsed, according to the admissions
of C. B. Miller, boss carpenter, be-
cause the shorings were taken away
from the concrete before it had prop
erly set. A. S. Reavis, trading as the
Sheet Metal and Cornice company of
Washington, d. c., was the contrac-
tors for the building. The structure
was four stories high and the heavy
concrete came down like an ava.
lanche. Several persons were struck
by flying pieces of the concrete and
cut about the face and hands.
