Certainly the aboriginal Americans
are catching on, as is shown by the
following incident related by the Troy
IN. " Times: The Ave civilized
tribes located In that part of the state
OF Oklahoma which formerly was In.
dian Territory has a large section OF
land which looked good to many
prospective buyers. Under present
arrangements the land is to be
thrown open for purchase by white
settlers on such terms as they can
make with the present possessors. A
party OF speculative gentlemen thought
1t would be bright idea to give the
Indians a feast. with all sorts OF rel.
ishable things in the way Of eatables
and drinkables and complimentary
speeches. Then they tried to make a
deal by which they could get the land
at rates that would make the invest
ment highly remunerative. But the
Willy red men, who had swallowed the
tempting food and appetizing liquids
as well as the honeyed words, were
not caught. They perceived the anx-
iety of the spectators to buy, and
they fixed prices that were about
double they had asked before the
spread was given. These aborigines
have cut their eye teeth.

Eislf as They Bite.

'If you will take the time to investi-
gate" said an old time angler who has
observed as he fished you will find
that the full stomached trout in your
catch will outnumber the empty stom-
ached ones ten to one. This would
seem to indicate that it is the trout
which has already dined we'll that is
eager for more, while the one which
has not dined at all regards it with in
difference In other words, it is the
satiated trout that bites and the hun
cry one that doesn' paradoXical prop
osition. And this odd circumstance is
not confined TO brook trout Pickerel
not only swollen with food, but having
the tails of fish they have since caught
protruding from their mouths because
there is as yet no room for the newly
taken victims in the capacious pickerel
nav, will yet voraciously seize the
tempting live bait of the fisherman, as
any angler who has fished much for
pickerel has doubtless had frequent
proof. f."-New York Sun.

BiIiousness and Constipation.

For yeaIs | was troubled with bilious
ness and constipation, which made life
miserable for me. My appetite failed
me- | lost my usual force and vitality
Pepsin preparations and cathartics only
made matters worse. | DO not know
where | should have been to-day had |
not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets. The tablets relieve the i'll
feeling at once, strengthen the digestive
functions, purify the stomach, liver and
blood, helping the system to do its work
naturally-Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birming-
ham, Ala. These tablets are for sale by

A Curious Plant.

"a curious plant" said an eminent
botanist sis the wild tamarind or juba
plant of the riverside and waste places
of tropical America, and very strange
are its effects upon the nonruminant
animals that feed upon its young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. 1t
causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails, has Il similar ef-
feet upon mules ana donllcys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is of different color and tex
ture from the old, so that the animal Is
never quite the same as it was. One
animal Of which | personally knew
after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs
and had to be kept in sings until
they grew and hardened again. Rumi-
nant animals are not thus affected, and
the growth of the plant is actually en-
couraged in the Bahamas as a fodder
plant for cattle, sheep and goats. The
difference is probably due to changes
effected upon it in the chewing of the
cud."

Lonn Sentences.

Ruskin, it is said, has written more
sentences of fiiordnate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words in num-
Der of typical sentences, finding that in
the earlier books it was no uncommon
thing for Ruslin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief of Il full stop. But in
every case the sense is clear as day
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac-
Ter of the Happy Warrior is a notable
example of sustained connections.
Apart from the opening and closing
couplets the poem consists of two very
long compound sentences almost en-
tirely comprised of adiectival clauses.
The longer of the two sentences con-
tains lifty-seven decasyllabic lines.
This is probably record in English
verse.-Argonaut.

A National Trait.

A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
this tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in
hiring conveyance to carry him to
the station. BY speech and gesture he
informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in Il Ieisurcly,
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible of the principal thorough
fares Of Jalfa and to be delivered at
the terminal just in time to take the
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at Il furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones of the notoriously rough streets
of Jaffa. The passenger was too busily
employed i'll saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found that
he still had two hours to wait.
''Why in the world" he demanded
Indignantly, did you ever hurry like
that?"
''You American responded the driv-
er, with an expressive shrug. "All
American like go very much fast

He Mas Tnn Smart

He was the only man at the table
full of lovely girls, and, like all only
men, he was spoiled. So when the
belle of the table remarked that she
was very fond of pepper and then sift-
ed half the contents of the pepper box
over her food he sprang an old gag on
her.
1T won't hurt you. This pepper is
half peas"
"What is that you say?' asked the
landlady from the next table speak
Il little louder, please"
lie reiterated his remark
"That isn't true" retorted the land
lady hotIy. Il do not use adulterated
goods on my table"
MY dear madam" said the bland
joker, "there are always lot of p's in

There was an impressive pause. Then

intrusts it to the Egyptian pilgrims to
place on the tomb of the prophet at

turned to Cairo with great ceremony.

When NJ. Henri a quaint and shabby
miser Of threescore and ten, died in
Paris some time ago, the closest search
for treasure revealed nothing more val
liable than two shelves of dingy look
ing books, which were sold, with his
few sticks of furniture, to pay his fu~
neral expenses. When the buyer of the
books examined his purchase he discov-
cred to his amaZement two volumes of
whole history of books-every page in
each Of them consisting of a five pound
sterling note of the Bank of England.

RestIess Animals.

When you see the animals in the
park menageries pacing back and forth
rcstlessly in their cages, do not take it
for granted that the creatures are un-
happy or even discontented. 1t may be
that the lion or the tiger or the polar
bear that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native jungles
they are kept pretty busy hunting food
Thus each day they walk many miles
perhaps. In their narrow cages in the
parks they are plentifully supplied
with food, but their brawny bodies still
demand n great amount of exercise.
Mile after mile is paced off daily by
the uneasy creatures. Usually they
move with long swinging stride, but
when mealtime comes around then the
step quickens until when the keeper
appears with his baskets of meat the
tigers and lions and other animals leap
against their bars and growl and whine
and lash their tails. In fact, they act
like great hungry boys do after a long
days tramp if they find that supper is
late

Something Hotel Clerks Remember

SOTnclnlnO T1OIel NteTkS nenle nDer.
"There's lots less danger of the
night clerk forgetting an early call
left by some guest than most travellers
imagine" remarked hotel manager
the other day. The fact is" he de
clared, the average night clerk could
not forget one of those early calls if he
wanted to. You know, it's Il mighty
lonesome job the night clerk has.
There is little for him TO do few ar
rivals TO take care of and little to
break the monotony of his long vigil.
About the only fun the night clerk
has is those early morning calls. When
| was night clerk | used to count
the hours until | could start in ON
those early calls. There was nothing
else to do or think about, and it would
keep going through my mind what fun
it would be to make some guest share
my forlorn state by getting him out of
his warm bed all sleepy eyed. 1 could
not any more have overlooked one of
those early calls than | could have
overlooked my breakfast when the
time me."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
