81 A YEAR FOR A oRUDeE.
Man Who Hated Barber Three Years
for Hair Cut Is Fined.

Hamilton, O.--A fine of one dollar n
year for cherishing grudge was the
penalty Mayor Thomas assessed
against Philip schmitt, a prosperous
book-binder in the most unusual as
sault case that has ever come before
the local police court. Schmltt met p.
A. Dearth, a barber. in the street, and
struck him in the face. When ar
raigned before the mayor he told how
it happened.
Schmtt said that three years ago
Dearth cut his hair and that night he
called on a girl In whom he was much
interested, She laughed at him and
told him that he looked like II clown.
Other friends, he said, took II up, and
made life a burden for few DAYS.
When Schmitt happened to meet
Dearth in the street the other night
the memory Of the hair cut of three
years ago oyercame him, and he could
not resist the temptation to take a
punch at the man who made him
ridiculous in the eyes of his best girl.

BEES AND A JERSEY CHURCH.
Honey Stored in Old steeple for
Years viii Be Sold.

Burlington, N. J.--The little busy
honey bees will contribute the nucleus
of $4,000 which the members of the
First BAPTIST church, Burlington, will
raise to build new ediiice.
The busy bees have been storing
honey for years in the top of the old
church >steeple, and so have refuted
the infantile belief
How doth the little husy bee
Delight to bark and bite,
To gather honey all the day
And eat 1t all the night.
Those frugal bees have not eaten a
speck of honey. Probably ton of
honey is stored now in the steeple. for
immense swarms have been often
seen there. and the hive IS feet
above the street has been secure
against depreciation. The congrega.
tion had contributed $4,000 with the
idea OF repairing the present structure.
But Rev. DR.. r. M. Eastwood. the pas
tor, announced at services that the
plans had been changed and $4,000
more win be raised to build a new
church
The honey stored in the steeple will
be sold and the money will go to make
up the desired sum, Indeed, II is said,
II was the example of quiet industry
and patient thrift set by the bees thai
decided the ohurch's building commit.
tee not toy repair the church, but to
build 1t anew.

NERVE THAT WON JOBS.
Stories Of Players Who Are Now
Well Known.


"To have nerve" is an expression
so often used in the derogatory sense
that few realize how much the pos.
session of nerve has had to do with
the success Of many players.
There is no more glaring incident
bf nerve than that exhibited by Ada
Lewis when she first made up her
mind TO adopt & dramatic career Miss
Lewis presented herself at the Bald
win theater, San Francisco. and asked
for a position. When she received
the reply, "All fun" instead of going
home, she went to the side of the
stage where some extra girls were
waiting to rehearse. When the girls
shouted "llurrah" she also shouted
"IImrah." When they ran she ran,
aud in fact did whatever these girls
did, remaining throughout the re.
hearsal At night she appeared for
the performance, and as Miss Lewis
said The manager allowed me 10
stay, undoubtedly believing that such
colossal nerve should Ia rewarded"
May Irwin has often given evidence
of possessing nerve" Miss Irwin
was at one time deslrous of asking an
important favor from Richard Croker,
he being the only one who could
grant IT, She unfortunately knew ne
one who knew Mr.. Croker, so she de
cided to call him on the telephone
She told him she had a letter to him
and wanted to know when she could
present it, lie told her he would see
her the following morning. Now that
she had the appointment she was at
a loss what TO do, as she had "iibbed'
and did not have any letter. Some
how she managed to get the letter and
the favor as wen.
Becoming desperate after asking for
work and being turned away from

TRAPPING IN A CAVE.

The cave on the Warriors ridge in

nature. The entrance is so small that
one would take It for fox den, and a
man has to lie fiat down I'm order to
get into 1t. 1t goes down 60 feet to
mud and water, and then you have to
climb up over muddy rocks and banks
to get to the far end.
There is stream of clear water
running across the far end of this
cave. The roof is 60 feet high and is
a solid rock of limestone and full OF
white stalactites.
"The cave is full of animals. The
