THE HEADLESS BANDIT.
Queer story From the Archives of

Queer Story From the Archives of
the vienna Courts.
DR.. Loye, a Freuch physician, Wha
gready interested himself in the ques-
ton, what passes in the head of q
decapitated human beingY" related the
following remarkable story, which he
stated was taken from the archives of
the Vienna courts: 1t was in the year
- that Schoenenburg, 2 we'll known
bandit, and four of his associates were
caught and condemned to death. They
were already on their knees ready to
pay the penalty of their bloody deeds
by submitting to the awful fate of de-
capitation when Schoenenburg address
ed the judge asking that his four com
panions might be pardoned on certain
conditions. IF" asked the bandit
"after / am beheaded 1 get up and
walk to the first Of my comrades, will
you pardon him?" The judge thought
that he was pretty safe in complying
with the request. Then" continued
Schoenenburg, IF l walk to the sec
ond, the third and the fourth, will you
pardon them also?" The judge replied
that if such a miraculous feat could
be performed he would obtain pardons
for the other three also. The bandit
was now satisfied, and, bending his
head, he received the fatal blow. In
stantly the head rolled down in the
sand, but to the surprise and horror of
all present the headless trunk arose
and walked alone. Aimlessly, it ap-
peared, the body walked around until
it passed the first, the second, the third
and the fourth condemned bandit
when it fell down and became motion
less. Query, How could a headless
body thinl?"

One day three friends in Paris were

Unfortunately none of them was pos

emily one of the trio was struck by an
idea. He led his friends to a music
publisher and made him an offer:

man wrote the text; that one set it to
music, and l shall sing it, as 1 am the
only one of us with a good voice"
well, sing it for trial. replied the
publisher.
The young man complied, and the
publisher seemed to be satisfied. He
paid 10 francs for the song, and the
friends fastened joyfully to a restau-
rant.

A Great Jumper Is This Strange Iat-
tie Spotted Jungle Cat.
One Of the most interesting animals
of the new world and yet one of which
little seems to be written, even by
sportsmen who have spent much time
in Mexico and the Central American
states, is the ocel0t the strange little
spotted cat of the dense jungles of
tropical parts of the two Americas.
They are not nearly so heavy as the
average lynx of the eastern woods and
are infinitely lighter on their feet
They run with the greatest agility up
and down the almost perpendicular
trunks of trees and follow crippled
bird out on limbs too slender, it would
seem, to bear the weight of the par
rot, let alone the cat. Parrots are the
ocelot's principal food, and their hunt
ing is done almost altogether by day.
though, like all the cat tribe, they are
thoroughly at home in the blackest
night.
The parrots which they hunt fire.

to the ground only in the rare open
spaces and along the banks of the
many small streams where they drink
In order to follow them it is necessary
that the ocelots be great jumpers, and
so they are. When l was following
the hounds through the southern Cali
fornia hills after wildcats and an oc-
casional mountain lion I was wont to
say that the latter was the greatest
jumper on earth. The ocelot has any

A LOST RIDING HABIT.

1t Lost For the Empress Eugenie the
French Empire.
Even Emile de Girardin, whom Eu-
genie welcomed as ''the gravedigger. of
dynasties" because he had gone TO
Louis Philippe on the eve of his flight
in 1913 to warn him as he came to
warn her now, said to her very serious
ly that night:
Should your majesty appear brave
ly on horseback in the midst of the
people your majesty can still count on
their enthusiasm and devotion"
Eugenie resolved to show herself on
horseback. She ordered that the rid
ing habit be chosen. 1t must be all
black, of the severest simplicity. And
she would just pin the red ribbon of
the Legion of Honor OH her left breast.
Often the slightest causes bring
about the gravest results. The tragedy
of the empires last chance, therefore,
must be sought along with the black
riding skirt and corsage.
By incredible i'll luck they could not
find it. There had been one, but it had
disappeared, doubtless stolen" 9th

bleau. They found a riding habit of
dark green with heavy gold braid, the
costume of the imperial stag hunts.

The Missing Note

One of the leading tenors in Moscow
was called upon to sing an opera in
which one note was much too high for
him, but he got man in the orchestra
to come in just at the right time and
supply the note. In exchange the
tenor was to take him to supper. The
plan answered well, the applause was
loud, but the tenor forgot all about the
supper. Next time he sang the opera
he went to the front of the stage, put
his hand on his heart and opened his
mouth as wide as he could. His dis
comfiture was great when the expect
ant hush was broken by voice from
the orchestra saying, "Wheres my sup

just Like Him.

The Rev Walter Cotton, author of
"Ship and Shore" and other books,
gave a most forcible Illustration of the
character of an officer on board the
ship to which he was attached as chap
lain. The officer was always meddling
with other peoples business and was
seldom in his own place. Consequently
he was most unpopular with the sail
ors. One of them, goaded to unusual
irritation, said one day, 81 do believe

Chinese Smiles.

Some of the ordinary expressions of
the Chinese are pointedly sarcastic
enough. A clustering, harmless fellow
they call "a paper tiger" When a
man values himself overmuch they
compare him to "a rat falling into a
scale and weighing itself" OVERRIDING
thing they call "a hunchback making
bow" A spendthrift they compare
to "a rocket which goes off at once.
Those who expend their charity on re-
mote objects, but neglect their fam
lilies, are said to hang a lantern on a
pole, which is seen afar, but gives no
light below"

Giving Is.:preanireiv.

There are diversties of giving as
well as of gifts. To give a little with a
grand air sometimes seems to- make
more of an impression than to give
much modestly. The world has not
changed in this respect. Samuel Pepys
wrote in his DIARY" in 1860: There
was great number of merchants and
others of good quality (at dinner) on
purpose to make an Offering Ito two
newly married servants). which, when
dinner was done, we did, and l did
give 10 shillings and no more, though
1 believe most of the rest did give
more, and did believe that l did so
too."

A FLY IN A WEB.
The Way a Tiny Spider Imprisoned
His Big Victim.


The Way Tiny Spider Imprisoned
His Big Victim.
Zone morning when busy in my
workshop" says a naturalist, "a large
fly, double the size of a bluebottle, was
caught in a spiders web in the win
dow close to where was at work 1t
was held by two of its legs only, and
for some time the spider, which was
about the size of the fy's head, pro-
ceeded to strengthen its hold by at
taching numerous extra lines to the
two captive limbs, carefully keeping
out of reach of the others, which were
letting out in all directions in frantic
efforts to escape
During a short respite in the cap
tive's struggles the spider cautiously
approached and with its hind legs got
several turns of its tiny rope round
one Of the limbs that were free. These
tactics were carried on till all the legs
were firmly bound. 1t then injected
poison into one of the legs. This soon
showed itself, for its deadening effects
reduced the victims struggles in a
marked degree. The poison paralyzes,
but does not kill.
Shortly after a second bite resist
ance ceased, and the victor settled
down to suck the juices of its fallen
prey. The struggles lasted quite an
hour. Next morning the fly was alive,
and the spider was still sucking out its
lifeblood. ."-Chicago News.

Strength of n Bear.

Few people know that grizzly bear
can give points to any other carniv-
orous animal in point of strength. A
grizzly bear weighing just four hun
dredweight has been watched carry
ing heifer of more than two-thirds
its own weight for two miles up the
most steep and rugged mountain side
and this without pausing one instant
for rest. The grizzly bear is the lar
gest and most powerful of all the bear
tribe, but his cousin, the cinnamon
bear, runs him very close, and the big
white polar bear, though not really so
dangerous a customer, is capable of
performing the most extraordinary
feats of strength.

to speak an unknown language be-
trayed herself in her sleep. When
brought before the magistrate she was
interrogated by Turkish, Russian, Pol

none could understand her, although
one believed she spoke a little known
dialect of Persia. The magistrate was
not convinced and ordered her to be
kept in the prison infrmary under
strict surveillance. In her sleep the
woman talked fluent French, with the
true Partisan accent.
