He had large sum of money IN

Instead of obeying the orders OF

stinging blow one of the highwaymen
discharged his revolver. The bullet
struck Ballou in the right side and
plowed its way through his body, COM

The ball went through him complete

later. Mr.. Ballou applied the whip
and ran his horse mile, where as

Jack London's famous definition OF
Notwithstanding a bone with a dog
when you're as hungry as the dog
recalls a story about charity" said a
magazine editor, that heard Mr.. Lon
don tell at farewell dinner in New
York before he sailed away on the
Spark.
'Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
The host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
"'Confound you. stupid said the
host. Didn't 1 tell you l wanted the
Scotch? Take this back, and bring
what asked for. you old fool,'
Come, come said the guest, after
the old woman had hurried away in a
great fright. Come, come. my friend,
don't you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servant?'
"'Oh,' said the other. she's not q
servant. She's only a poor relation
I'm keeping tut OF charity
THE guest looked relieved.
THAT alters the case, OF course he
said. "-Washington Times.

The remarkable spectacle OF total
ly sightless athletes competing OF
the cinder path. throwing the ham
mer, putting the shot, jumping and
sprinting, was witnessed In Phila
delphia at the first inter-clty athletic
meet OF the blind. The meet took
place at the grounds of the over.
brook Institution for the Blind. But
Tor certain mechanical contrivances
necessary in some of the events,
ahere was little to distinguish this
remarkable gathering from any
satheletlc sports of an ordinary col
lege. One OF the noticeable differ
ences was in the sprint races. In
these the blind boys grasped spool
that was made TO slide on taut
wire. When the word was given the
contestants were off like the wind,
their grasp on the spool keeping
thsm 10 the track as the reel ran
along the wire. At the finish were
lnes of dangling cords similar to
those that warn trainmen that n
0rldge is In close proximity When
che boys felt these cords touch thylr
faces they knew they had reached
the finish line.
In the jumps the boys were TAX n
40 the pole and allowed to touch It
with their hands As they Jumped
they carried the pole with them, tho
height of the jump being measured
by the referees eye. In the broad
lump the same official took the dis
tance from the takeof TO the finish, !
Il being impossible, of course, for /
the contestants to jump from a sta
tlonary take-on The hammer throw
was arranged by the sound Of the I
voice of one of the officials The 1
boys threw with amazing accuracy
In the direction of the sound from
whence the call came; and although
this event made the spectators feel {
far from comfortable. there was not
the slightest approach TO an ac- I
cldent.
In some OF the photographs shown
In these columns II Will be noticed
that the slghtloss boys seem to be
looking at the spot where the con {
testant will allght In his jump. So Z
natural was the expression on the [
faces OF some of these boys that one {
of the officials was asked whether or a
not they could IN some mysterious r
