A Boat That Skips Along.

A correspondent of the London
Times gives most interesting ac-
count Of the hydroplane Ricochet H.,
designed and constructed by the MN.
LIE Las, Of Paris. The little vessel,
which Is described as resembling "a
fresh water punt some 13 feet In
length, decked fore and aft, has a
fiat bat not horizontal underestimate,
sloped up gently forward so as to
skim over the water. and is driven
by a twelve horsepower motor on
the principle of the ricochet shot or
ducks and drakcs," reaching a
speed of forty kilometres to the
hour. The hydroplane. which ap-
pears to proceed by sheer leaps
though this Is probably an optical IL
lusion-can DO stopped dead when
at high speed In dozen yards, but
presents some difficulties in turning.
The motion Is described as delight
full as we'll as novel;" by those who
have been on board. Whether the
new invention can be turned to
practical use remains to be seen, but
it's extreme lightness commends 1t to
explorers, and one has been In use
for mail purposes on the Niger for
some time.

An Isterrupted Story.

Captain Williams. jovial Irish
man, known everywhere as Bob,
used to be favorite in Dublin soct-
ETY. about forty years ago. His sto-
r1es we're famous. Give him an in
cident and he would set it out TO
the general admiration.
One evening he went Into the
club, and there began telling the true
tale Of reseuing q lady and her
daughters from q dangerous situa-
ton into which their spirited horses
had brought them.
II quieted the ladies'" said he.
'and l Quieted the horses And the
gratitude OF the ladies'! Me boys,
I shouldn't be surprised If her lady
ship left me-
At that moment little Irish page
in livery appeared.
Sir" notd he. Lady Arnold says
she lost her purse when ye helped
her out Of the carriage; and PLACE,
she says do yez know anything about
it?''

The American Game.

Why Is baseball so popular. 1t Is
in no sense a gambling game. Men
do not go to baseball game for the
purpose OF winning the price of box
at the theatre, suit OF clothes. or
an elaborate dinner with party OF
friends. No betting sheus are found
in baseball enclosures. There are
no bookmakers with odds on the DIFF
ferent teams posted up. Aid prac-
tlcaly all OF them forbid the sale OF
any drinks more harmful than soda
water, root beer, and similar soft
beverages. Lovers OF baseball do
not turn out in order to drink or
gamble. They go because they are
really fond OF the sport. The base
bail fan" goes because he likes 20
get out into the open air, to sit in
grandstand or on bleacher for an
hour or two, and see efficient ath-
letes contest for the mastery. There
is no brutality about baseball, moth
ing that is debasing or demoralizing.
And 1t is the most popular sport in
the United States to-day, as fo7
many years past. 1t will be popular
long after public sentiment has
closed every race track at which
gambling Is permitted.-Sal Lake
Herald.

Strange Scenes at Conventions.

To a newcomer a political conven-
tion Is an hitherto uIimagined carni-
val Of senile friskiness, noise. tenn
per and downright lunacy. The So
cial leader, the millionaire; the
tiashy, neutrality-suspicious. who lives
by the sweat Of his political brow;
the important politician from a small
city; the dittidenr, nervous, country
lawyer; the gaping backwoodsman;
the suave, confident statesman. all
ming!e here to plot and plan. to mine
and countermine, to charge and re-
treat, and to take in flank and in the
rear, just as armies struggle with
strength and strategy for the mas
terry OF field. And as the smoke OF
battle brings beyond the surface OF
Civilizations veneer the primeval In
stincts OF man, so is the rougher man
exposed in the fight of the conVen-
ton hall, with It's ambitions, It's hat
red and It's lust Of power. Although
such moments do not come in all con-
ventions, in each -the same lack or
dignity may be found. The easily
aroused laughter, the readiness to
cheer at any and all times, the high
Iy strung nerves on which, 1t may
happen, an orator plays With results
that can be compared to the ease
with which the French people were
accustomed to raise and pull down
their popular heroes-these are some
of it's inalienable traits.

OLD VILLAGE LOOKUP
Quaint Structure for Confinement OF
Rogues and Vagabonds.


Several villages in the Midlauds of
England. possess in more or less
ruined state their old parish lockups,
commonly known as round housss
Breedon, Leicestershire village,
close to the South Derbyshire border,
possesses its lookup quaint stone
building 1S feet high and 8 feet. 6
inches diameter inside. The walls
are fifteen inches thick. The door is
Of stout oak studded with many large
iron nails.
The lock Is very strong and the
keyhole is covered with an iron plate.
which it self has to be unlocked by a
spanner before the door key can be
inserted. Ventilation is afforded by
small holes punched In an iron plate,
6 inches by 7, fixed In the centre OF
the door. There is no window.
At Worthington, the next village
to Breedon. the old lookup Is q seven
eided brick building, badly in need
or restoration, an opportunity for
archaeologists which it is hoped will
not be missed. Both at Breedon and
Worthington these diminutive dis
used prisons are on the roadside, ad-
iacent to the pound or pinfold, so
that the constable had conveniently
side by side the strayed cattle, and
any human rogues or vagabonds he
had charge Of. There are similar
old lockups at Smisby and Ticknall,
two villages close to Leicestershire.

His Dog Identified Elm.

Bank clerks naturally and neces-
sarily require satisfactory identitica-
ton Of persons who ask to have
checks cashed. The same rule Is
followed in the post-office by clerks
who Dash money-orders; but what
the nature Of the Identification will
be, and by whom, is a matter which
rests to some extent In the discre-
ton of the clerk. The Boston Her
aid tells story in which dog bore
witness to his masters identity.
A Boston business man called at
the postal order department the
other day to get an order cashed, but
the clerk in attendance had only re-
Gently been appointed. He said the
caller would have to be identified be-
fore payment could be made.

ders cashed here" he replied, with
show Of impatience. Isn't there
some one here who knows me?"
I'm the only one on duty just
now. The others are out to lunch

"Wfll you take the inscription on
my dogs collar as sufficient identi-
fication?" was asked.
"Yes, that will be acceptable -

PIcKLED BEEFs IN CAMP.
Laugh Was On the Bachelors When
They Told Their Story.

When you take the OK team UP
to Emporia after the mail and pro-
visions, see II you can't get some
vegetables" said Warren. "The
COWS got into my garden and cleaned
up what the coons, bugs and other
things had left, and we want some
S;reen stun. See II you can't get
some onions, beets, cucumbers, or
anything"
We were bachelors, pioneering in
Kansas, says Mr.. Fred Mather, the
author of Men I Have Fished
WiSh," and among the things I
brought back from Emporia was q
fine bunch Of early beets. We prom
ised ourselves treat.
We peeled and sliced them and put
them in vinegar. Next day they
were set out for tneh evening meal
and we talked about them.
Them beets must be more. than 8
hundred years DID," said Warren.
i've seen lots O. beets. but they was
alluz tender and good"
"They can't be old. They don't
keep beets over year, like dried
beans; besides that, didn't you see
the tops were green? think they're
q new kind or else the soil here Is
not good for beets."
They amt cut thin enough for
the vinegar to soften them" said he.
These cukes are all right; they're
cut thin and the vinegar goes right
through them and they're tender"
"Yes, the cucumbers are good; but
what ails the beets I don't know.
I've often eaten, 'em at home when
mother cut 'em up in vinegar. Per-
haps they want to be soaked in it
longer to make em tender. I don't
know how long they have to stay in
before they're fit to eat"
Let 'em soak a while, then, and
try it. Beets is Almighty good rel
ish. They're good for what ails you;
for man can't live on salt pork,
ham and all that stuff-salt Goldfish
anu mackerel and sich stuff-with-
out little vegetable food. Put them
beets away till they get tender; that's
all they want"
The beets were set aside in vine
gar until such time as they were lit
10 eat. We sampled them daily but
shere was no susceptible, improve
ment. On Sunday, we cleaned up
the house. brushed ourselves, and
walked up to Serrine's ranch, where
Mrs. S. and Mrs. Judge Howell were
discussing some abstruse question.
They wanted to know how bach
ing" went. Warren went into de-
tails and finally mentioned the beets.
There was an instantaneous duet OF
soprano and contralto:
Didn't you boil 'em frst?"
sneaked outside, and left War
rem to settle things with the two
women.

Worries and Fears of the Nervous in

To the region where tornadoes are

If he happens to be thtrty7third de-
gree member OF the Amafga1nated
Order of Fraidcats. he has a cave
lined with REINFORCED concrete con-
structed somewhere in The back
yard.
In his cave or cellar retreat the
coward puts bed, and fhe has 1t
bad he is apt to lay in a stock of pro-
visions and a barrel of water. During
the day the other members Of the
family have a good deal of fun chat
fing the coward; but he gets even
at night by disturbing their sleep.
Among other pecul;arities OF the
cyclone coward Is an optical Illusion
which possesses him about the time
the bass begin to bite. From then
until harvest time every cloud he sees
assumes a funnel shape and he is
sure we are going to have twister.
And he never misses a cloud. When
he sees one, he gets up, gathers up
his clothes and tn e!nsurance papers
and proceeds to try to herd the FAM
lily to safety.
If the coward happens to be the
man OF the house he sometimes sue
ceeds in dragging the sleepy wife and
children othe cellar while he looks
out the door until gentle summer
shower begins to fall. But If the
coward is the wife she never has
much success with the old man be-
yond getting him angry, u because
of her duty to the children she takes
them to the 'fraid hole, abandoning
the husband to his fate-and sleep.
About once in 2,00O,OOt times the
cyclone coward makes a good bet
and then his name Is numbered with

the shoe seldom fits the foot properly

latter requires more labor to fasten.
A shoe fastener patented by New

consisting of tongue which is fas-

several wedge-shaped hooks. The
tongues can thus be connected to the

can be employed also on other arti-
