Charon,s Boat.

On one of the lakes In the north is
land of New Zealand, near Auckland
there was hotel much frequented by
fishermen. On one occasion when q
gentleman, whom l will call Mr.. X,
was staying there he was taken seri-
ously Ill, and the landlord, supposing
that he could not possibly recover, be-
gan to think of making preparations
for his visitors DEATH Knowing a
man who was a pretty fair carpenter
and had owed him money for some
time and seeing little chance Of being
repaid, he told him to make a coffin for
the sick man. The coffin was duly
made, but Mr. x, instead of dying, as
he ought to have done, recovered, and
there was therefore no use for the cof-
fin.
The landlord, not caring to be at the
expense, included charge for it in
Mr.. KS bill, who, on seeing it, natural
ly enough demurred to paying for
something which he had not ordered
and did not want The landlord said 1t
was very hard that the loss should fall
on him, as he had only done 1t for the
best, and Mr.. x at last agreed to pay
for 1t. Determined to turn 1t to some
account, he had keel put to 1t and
used 1t as fishing punt during the re-
mainder of his stay at the hotel.-Lon-

The Anticipated constitution Of the

reformers both theoretical and practi-

and longs to carry farther. What the
lords can do now was shown by Glad

personal influence and the fear of an

THE SHREW MOUSE.
Some Queer SuperstitiOns About
HARMLESS IiffIe Animal

Some Queer SuperstitiOns About a
Harmless Little Animal.
The shrew, or shrew mouse, as it is
commonly called, is found in nearly all
parts of the world 1t is distinguished
by an elongated, pointed muzzle, small
eyes, plantigrade, six toed feet and
glands that secrete a musky fluid AL
together it closely resembles a mouse.
but it is really not related to the mouse
family.
When at home it is either under a
pile of rubbish or in a hole which 1t
has burrowed in the EARTH 1t is
nocturnal in its habits, but perfectly
harmless, yet at one time it was much
disliked and prosecuted because it was
thought to be a dangerous, mischievous
animal. Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite of shrew
was extremely poisonous. The French
and the English believed that If a
shrew ran over an animals foot the
animal felt great pain and eventually
became paralyzed; hence if horse, a
COW or goat became a little stiff in it's
limbs the foolish people at once declar-
ed it "shrew struck" and the poor
shrews had to suffer in consequence.
OF course the 'shrew struck animal
had to have something to cure 1t, so
an ash tree was selected, and deep
hole was bored into its trunk Then
shrew was captured, put olive into the
hole, the hole was securely plugged,
and the innocent little animal was left
to die of starvation.
The ignorant believed that after such
an act the ash tree had power to cure
''shrew struck" animals, and whenever
an animal became inactive or little
numb in its limbs its owner hurried to
the 'shrew ASH" cut a switch from 1t
and switched the "shrew struck" beast.
The smarting caused by the switching
naturally made the helpless animal
move about as much as it possibly
could, and in a short time it was pro-
nounced cured.

EASY DOOR FASTENERS.
Only One Kind of Lock the Expert
Burglar Can't Pick.

Burglar Can't Pick.
"There's only one lock in the world
that can't open If you'll give me a
few minutes at it, and as for ordinary
door and drawer locks, I'll open them
as easily as if there was no lock there.
Any expert burglar can do the same"
The foregoing statement was made
by an experienced locksmith of Kan
sas City.
Few persons know how insecure
their homes are" he continued. "Few
persons realize that the average lock
is absolutely worthless for keeping out
an experienced burglar. The ordinary
door lock is good for nothing but re-
minding casual business or social call
ers that they must ring to be admitted.
None of these ordinary door fasten-
ers,' and that's the best you can call
them, will deter a burglar two whole
minutes. If there's no key in the lock,
he soon fits one to it. II there is key
in the lock, he inserts a pair of pinch
ers and in ten seconds has it opened
Understand me, | am speaking of the
experienced burglar. The clumsy bur
glar is the one who gets in trouble.
He'll tumble around with lock until
somebody hears him. There is only
one unpickable lock made. That's the
six pin lock used by the government
1t will defy any expert. There are six
little steel pins in the lock, which
have to be raised just a certain dis
lance to open it, Some of the pins are
one-fourth of an inch long and some
of them a half inch If one of the pins
lacks even hairbreadth of being
raised the proper distance, the lock
will not open. 1t battles all the ex-
perts'

his ear to the combination and listen

Fl PASO GIRL Is
 ID RIDE THE GOAT
She Will Be Taken Into the Quien Sabe EIks'
 Lodge.

FL PAS0, JUNE 5.-The Quien Sabe Club will give a dance and vaud- eyille performance at the Elks home Friday night. which will probably eclipse any former efforts. One of the most unique features of the af- fair will be the conferring of the ini- tiation upon one of the most popular young society ladies of the city.
 The ball will be given in the ball room of the club. which will be fol- lowed by the vaudeville in the west court. The object of these entertain ments is to raise money with which to advertise Fl Paso at the Philadel- phia grand lodge and reunion in July.
 Following the vaudeville the Quien Sabe degree will be conferred upon the young lady in question in open meeting. The goat has been well fed and his horns will be tipped with gold knobs so that no danger will result to the young lady. She will ride the goat, it is said, in true western bron- cho-busting style and will beyond a doubt be one of the most entertain ing features of the entire evening of pleasure. Ht
