Last Friday afternoon the people, who
depend upon the electric light to illu-
inmate their homes and places of bust
ners were not little surprised when
they turned on the electric light at dusk
and discovered that the faithful serv-
ant refused to illuminate the dark cor
ners. Business men went to the near
est stores to purchase lamps to light up
their Offices, and the husbands got the
same instructions from their homes to
do likewise, for it was discovered that
high water had put the electric plant
out of commission. But this trouble
only lasted short while, for the cur
rent was soon turned on at the power
house and everything was running it's
usual course.

Hank Hinman sat on the front porch
and gazed frankly and longingly across
the neat fence to where Matte Forman
worked i'll the garden and apparently
gave him no heed. Human had yet to
find that woman may look north or
south and yet be seeing east or west.
Matte very much approved of Hin
mans attitude. The hunched up shout
ders spoke eloquently of the good effect
of her training. AS rule, those Shout
ders were accustomed to swagger, and
It was the swagger to which Matte had
objected. Just because they were en-
gagged she did not concede his right to
order her about, and the engagement
had been broken.
Now that he was In this frame of
mind she was quite willing to make up,

Reading the Eaca.

Restless eyes denote a deceitful, de.
signing disposition; greenish eyes mean
falsehood, malice and a love of scan
dial; blue eyes tell of tendency to Co
quetry; black eyes mean lively, spir-
tied and sometimes deceitful charac-
ter; eyes with a yellowish, bloodshot
white usually betoken strong emotions
and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig
nifty and intelligence and brown eyes a
tender, true, kind and happy nature. A
mouth had better be too large than too
small, for very small, pursed up
mouth is seldom significant of good
conversational power. Large mouths
are more often found In conjunction
with liberal dispositions than very
small ones. A person with a pointed
chin is fanciful, refined in taste and
difficult to please. A broad, square
chin signifies ardent love, often accom-
panied by jealousy. A broad, round
chin means ardent love, with a stead
fastness and purity of affection.

A TIGER IN A TREE.

Experience of Whaler's Crew In the
Island of Java.
Two days had been spent watering
ship at spring on the banks of the
New river, which is a days sail from
AMER, neat little roadstead in the
island of Java, and on the morning of
the third day the captain of the New
Bedford whaler concluded he would
make an excursion a few miles I'D the
river Accordingly his boat was fitted
out with some provisions, and there
was a gun for each man, with plenty
of ammunition. The captain took his
rife, the only weapon Of its kind on
board. A young whaler with record
as good shot-a tiger at twenty feet
being his most famous achievement
was ordered into the boat as the look
out man and sharpshooter. What fol-
lowed after they set sail is best told
in his own words as 4be has written
them in Forest and Stream:
The wind was fair and we proceed
ed up the river at a good pace. It
was narrow, sluggish stream, its
banks bordered with virgin forests and

and they kept up a racket which was
novel and interesting to u.s. Then.

adventures, and the time passed ran

took in sail and began our return Jour

The wind was now dead ahead, and

And, sure enough, lying well out on an
overhanging branch of a tree under
which we must pass lay magnificent

spring into our boat.
To say that the captain was "gallied"
