Traveller Unable to Appreciate Alkall

A railroad reporter declared in
UPTON Sinclair's hearing that freight
rebates were sometimes granted pure
ly out of generosity.
Mr.. Sinclair, laughing, exclaimed:
admit that to be true, and then
your generosity is no better timed
than Alkali Ike's. A traveller arrived
late one, night at the Palace hotel in
Tin Can, and, being very tired, he or
dered his dinner to be served in his
room. AS he was peacefully eating
his bear steak, he heard a loud noise
downstairs, a bang, an oath, two quick
crashes, and then bullet shot up
through the floor and wounded the
traveller in the leg. Putting down his
knife and fork, he rose and began
to hop about the room with loud
groans Suddenly the landlord burst
in on him.
"'Whar did that thar bullet go to?'
the landlord exclaimed, laughing. oh,
air We hurt, stranger? Well, now.
that's too bad! Ye see, Alkali Ike
and Redface Leary had an argument
over their liquor down in the bar, and
fit it out fair and square. Redface
fired fust and missed, and Ike-the
alfred generous cuss!-he fired in
the air."

KILL TO PLEASE SWEETHEART.
One Way fer an Anyssinian Youth t.

in Abyssinia the natives will kill

sweethearts.' declared Frank Mowrer.

horn.
1T is never dangerous for a white
man to travel in Abyssinia provided
he is accompanied by native es-
cort, because those who compose such
an escort are always trustworthy. but
a man takes his life In his hands II
he goes abroad alone. Not that the
natives are ferocious. but that he
could not be sure that one of them
had not made a pact with his sweet
heart to kill man of white skin in
order to win her for his bride. The
native who wins such q distinction
wears a white feather in the back OF
his hair.
Among all the 10000 900 of popula-
ton and in the entire area equal to
New York. Pennsylvania, Virginia and
New England, there are but two
white women In Abyssinia. They are
the wives of two consular officials.
Strange to say, the national game is
hockey. but Caucasians cannot play
1t very much because of the climate.
The natives work but little and eat
raw meat. They kill an elk, peel off
the skin as you would peel a banana,
drain OF the blood and proceed with
the feast. Every Abyssinian Is a
, good butcher.
