oold.m,th's Generosity.

A beggar once asked aims Of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with a friend
up Fleet street, and he gave her a shil-
ling. His companion, knowing some
thing Of the woman, censured the writ
er for his excess Of humanity, saying
that the shilling was misapplied, as
she would spend it for liquor. IF 1t
makes her happy In any way, my end
is answered." replied Goldsmith.
Another proof that the doctors gen.
erosity was not always regulated by
discretion was at time when, after
much delay, a day was fixed to pay
the f4O due his tailor. Goldsmith pro-
cured the money, but friend calling
upon him and relating piteous tale
Of his goods being seized for rent, the
thoughtless but benevolent author gave
him all the money. The tailor called
and was told that If he had come a lit
tie sooner he could have had the
money, but that Ne had just parted
with every shilling Of it to friend in
distress, adding, II would have been
an unfeeling monster not to have re-
lieved trouble when in my power"

Heart Protectors.

Many persons are >puzzled to know
why policemen wear their badges so
low on their coats instead Of on the
flap made for that purpose. AS mat
ter Of fact the badge or star, as he
calls it, Of many a policeman is right
next to his heart. Some of the blue
coats can thank their "stars" for being
alive. This little metal shield has de-
fected the bullet Of burglar or high
wayman, and at times, too, has stopped
the knife thrust Of would be assassins.
During the last twenty or thirty years
there are many cases on record show
ing that the little badge has been q
life saver. Even bullets fired at close
range, as rule, cannot penetrate the
shield. That's why bluecoat always
feels safer in keeping the star at a vital
spot. When off duty some policemen
wear their stars on their vests, but al
ways directly over the heart. They are
so accustomed to the little protector
that they feel uneasy without it.

Too hioh For the Barber.


II heard something new in the bar
bering business this morning" said
the gray headed man. II am occupy
ing room on the top floor Of sky
scraping apartment hotel. This morn
ing sent for barber to come up
and shave me. He came, but when he
saw to what an altitude he had attain
ed he looked uneasy.
"'Would it inconvenience you to
come down to the regular barber
shop? he asked. - - HI
II answered that it would not par
ticularly put me out but that would
like to know the reason for his re-
quest. -
'''The fact is he said, 4 never like
to shave anybody at this distance
above the ground. No barber likes
to- We seem to be particularly sensi-
tive to height. 1t makes us nervous.
Most BARRIERS will not undertake a
job above a certain number Of feet in
the air. OF course If you insist will
shave you here, but you would prob
ably get better shave ten floors be-
low this one.'
"Well, just out of natural cussedness
I refused to humor the fellows whim.
AS a consequence he nearly cut my
throat. Whether he did 1t through
nervousness, as he claimed, or pure
cussedness Of his own l don't know.

A Mystery of Indo China.

The great mystery about Indo-C China
and one which must ever be insoluble
Is the story of the lost race and the
vanished civilization Of that strange
country. The mighty walls Of Angkor-
Wat, rising In the midst Of sparsely
settled jungles, remain as the memo
rial Of a great empire which has ut
terly disappeared and is altogether lost
to history. No one will ever know
who planned this gigantic temple or
what tyrant bounded on his myriads
Of people to build up those immense
blocks Of stone and cover them with
the most elaborate Of sculptures. Ang-
kor-Wat was one Of the most aston
ishing monuments in the world, and
this forgotten temple was built so as
to endure as long as the earth itself
were it not for the irresistibly de-
structive effect Of plant life on the
strongest walls that man can raise.
Only highly civilized and very
wealthy people could have erected
Angkor-Wat, very different race from
the Anamite Of modern days. The
whole nation has disappeared as utter
ly as the busy myriads who once pop
ulated the wastes and solitudes Of
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Free Press.

Fond ofCrab.

A jolly old boy from the Midlands
entered into one Of the hotels at the
seaside and, seeing on the slab on the
right crab dressed on the shell with
legs, claws and parsley ranged round,
said to the Landlords:
"What dye call that?"
"Crab," was the answer.
Looks good. I'll have I'm, and gle
us a pint Of ale"
Bread and butter was added and the
diner left to his dinner. In about an
hour the genial landlord entered the
dining saloon to see If his guest was
getting on all right. He found him
chawing up the last claw, the chawer
red In the face, but beaming.
Like the crab, STRIP
Yes. He was capital. 1 never tast-
ed one afore, but I think you baked I'm
a little too long. The crust was hard.
Let's have another pint"
He had eaten the lot-shell, claws
and all complete.-London Tit-Bits.

He Got tho Trout.

A story dealing with a large trout
that was rising regularly and frequent
ly is told in How to Fish: A Treatise
on Trout and Trout Fishers" This is
the story:
HE was going up and down, up and
down, up and down; not as the insects
offered themselves, but as it suited his
composure that he should take nudge
from the abundance. One youth was
casting at the trout; another was look
ing on. Said the angler, I'll have that
fish whether he takes it or not
'How?' his friend asked. I'll throw
the fly into his mouth The trout
went on rising; the angler went on
casting. I perceived the anglers no.
ton. 1t was that If he kept casting
accurately and the trout continued to
rise in the regular manner mentioned,
the fly would ere long fall at the very
moment when a nudge was being
taken. This reckoning was justified.
The large trout was hooked and land
ed by fly that had been cast into his
mouth"

Disappointed.


An aged colered man who had bust
ness in the News office ambled into the
editorial rooms-yes, ambled Is the
word. He sat for several moments
gazing at the pneumatic tube stations
set up like horns Of an orchestrion at
the desks Of the city and telegraph
editors. There was buzzing sound as
a copy boy pulled a lever, and the old
man smiled as if expecting something
pleasant, then took on look of dis
appointment. A few minutes later the
boy sent another piece Of copy whirl-
ing upstairs, and again the visitors ex-
preston passed from anticipation to
disappointment, then bewilderment.
Finally he accosted the telegraph ed
itor.
"'Scuse me, sub, but mout ak yo'
what dem things is?'
Certainly he might and was enlight-
ened.

claimed. 81 thought dey was some

SCOTS Wise Doo,

So veracious a man as Sir Walter
Scott had wise dog, a bull terrier.
Said the novelist once: II taught him
to understand great many words, in
asmuch that am positive that the
communication betwixt the canine spe-
cies and ourselves might be greatly
enlarged. Camp once bit the baker,
who was bringing bread to the fam
lily. I beat him and explained the
enormity Of his offense, after which, to
the last moments Of his life, he never
heard the least allusion to the story in
whatever tone Of voice it was men,
toned without getting up and retir-
ing to the darkest corner Of the room,
with great appearance of distress.
Then If you said the baker was we'll
paid or the baker was not hurt, after
ALL Camp came forth from his hiding
place, capered and parked and re-
iOiced."
