BEATEN AND ROBBED.
Walter G. Magle's Experience With
Two Highwaymen.

Walter c. Magic, living at A. street
northwest and employed as messenger
for the Blue Line Transfer Company, was
beaten and robbed by two men this morn
ing about $50 o'clock while at the inter
section Of LIST and J. streets northwest.
His ASSISTANTS did not get. anything Of
value from him, and 50 suddenly was he
attacked and SO quickly did the highway
men leave him that he did not see whether
they were white or colored.
1t was one Of Magle's duties to get tn.
morning mail and other papers belonging
to the company and take them from tne
Union station to the Office Of the COM
pany, New York and Florida avenues.
Magic told Detectives Barbes and Ner-
million that he had frequently met two
colored men at the corner of l. and let
streets. but he had never had any trouble
with them. He said he was hurrying
along In the direction OF the Florida
avenue office OF the express company
when lie was grabbed and kicked in the
stomach.
After he had fallen on the pavement,
he said. the two men searched his pock
cts, but he had no money. and they then
rool his mail package and hurried away.
The package contained no money. Magic.
who was painfully but not seriously in
jured, went to the ONCE of the company
and told of his experience. and later
made complaint to the police.

DRY schools. 1t was also decided to ask
the Commissioners to make request for an

visable to have one on account of the

TIE TAILOR TENOR.

How the Crest Rubiri Game to Gull
tivate His Voice.
Among the chorus singers OF the
theater of Bergamo, Italy, there
was a.. tailor of very moderate
means and resources, who employed
all his talents and ability toward
the support Of a beloved mother.
One day as it CHANGED the celebrat-
ed singer Nozari went to the shop
of this modest artist in mans wear
ing apparel to place an order for an
evening suit.
After conversing for some little
time upon the all absorbing subject
of fit and finish the singer noticed
that the face Of the tailor was ia
miliar and, making inquiries, dis
covered that he belonged to the
opera chorus.
"Have you a good voice." asked
Nozari.
Not particularly" replied the
tailor. "I can scarcely reach A."
"Let me hear" demanded Nozarl

one corner of the shop. "BeginP'

"Sing the A! | command you!
cried Nozari, showing signs OF an

Again a great effort was made.
and A was reached.
"And now the B fat!" cried No
zari.
The unfortunate tailor protested
but all in vain. Nozari was deter.
mined.
Indeed l am not able"
"Sing it or by my soul 1 will"--
"No, signor, do not be angry. J
will try"
The B flat was accomplished and
in a manner that fairly astonished
the quondam pupil himself. Hi
ambition began to manifest itself.
"Now you see that it is possible
said Nozari in triumph, "and I'tel
you, my son, if you will but prac'
tice a%ssiduously you will become the
first tenor of Italy"
Nozari was not mistaken, for the
poor tailor and chorus singer be-

How Sunshine Warns Us.

The effect of the suns rays is de
termined by two circumstances
the length of time during which
they act continuously and their di-
rection. When the sun is farthest
from the earth, as is the case in
summer, it is daily above the hori-
ION for a much longer time than il
Is when nearest, as at the winter
solstice. This continuous action in
tensifies the heat, and, the nights be-
ing short, but little of the heat is
given off during the suns absence.
In summer again the SUMS rays
reach us in a more vertical direc-
ton, and, the days being longer than
the nights, more heat is absorbed
than radiated. In winter, the sun
ascending to a less elevation, che
rays reach us more obliquely, and
the days being much shorter, the re
suit is that more heat is radiate6
than absorbed.

II HONEST APOLOGY.

Nevor Be Ashamed to Say That Yes
Are Sorry.
Don't he afraid or ashamed to
say that you are sorry.
1t may be hard, but remember
that it takes two to make a quarrel,
and tic chances are that you were
Is much in the wrong as the other
person.
Of course it would be better not
TO quarrel in the first place, but
after all we are only human, and
sometimes our temper gets the best
Of us.
But the false pride that keeps US
from acknowledging ourselves in
the wrong is even more deplorable
than the unruly tongue that gets
us into trouble in the first place.
A quarrel that does not amount
to much in the first place can grow
into a perfect mountain of trouble
through brooding.
Don't wait for the other person
to express regret. Come right out
like a man or woman and say: "I'n'
sorry for my share of the offense
Let us forgive and forget"
Never part from any one with
hard feelings between you.
Remember that "many 60 forth
in the morning who never come
back at night" Don't run the risk
F. of having to 60 through life with
an agony Of remorse in your heart.
And remember also hat every
quarrel leaves a If you would
prevent those scars from being ugly
wounds, do not hesitate to do your
share of making up"
Sweethearts will quarrel over
needless triies as much for the
pleasure of reconciliation as any
thing else, but it is a foolish pas
time and gets them into the habit
of dispute.
If you T a wife, never let your
husband go away in the morning
with an unforgiven quarrel between
you. 1t will rankle in your heart
all day, and nothing will seem right
or sweet. 1t is twice as easy to ex-
press sorrow Immediately after the
quarrel as it will be if you wait 9
day.
It is usually a sulky person who
finds it hardest to express contri-
ton. The quick tempered person is
as ready to make up as he was to
take offense, but the sulky person,
even though he may feel desperate
ly sorry, cannot bring himself to
say SO, and the result is that he
goes through a great deal of unnec.
essary suffering.
Don't be the kind that won't &C
knowledge the blame. Say you are
sorry, and say it sincerely. There is
no disgrace in an honest avowal OF
having been in. the wrong. st

"Well, I wish you would look at

raa Small to Be Seen.

Not long after his introduction
into national life as a member of
the house Tim Sullivan of New
York conceived a violent dislike for
the man then at the head of one Of
the executive departments. 1t was
observed that whenever Sullivan,
much to his disgust, was obliged to
consult the official in question he
invariably left in anything but the
pleasantest Of humors. One morn
ing Sullivan had been cooling his
heels in the secretary's anteroom
when the private secretary entered,
saying, 81 am awfully sorry, Mr..
Sullivan, but you can't see the sec

this time in a white heat because of
his long wait, dramatically exclaim-

Dry Land For Sheep.

It is generally we'll known that
sheep require a reasonably dry eli
mate and land that is well drained, but
it often happens that farmers under
take to raise sheep on bottom land
and on land that is too wet to plow
for crop. If sheep are kept on such
land for any length of time, trouble
f. sure to follow, remarks Farm Press.
Sheep cannot stand wet feet, and they
must have dry ground to sleep on at
night. Sheep lie down a great deal
when Eliminating. Unless the ground
Is dry and warm they are sure to
suffer. Besides foot rot, internal para.
sites that affect sheep are worse on
wet land. The hoof, of the sheep Is
golden only when the hoof is dry.
