HCRRAH FOR HUMBLE PEG.
In all the previous olympiads such
sports as high and fancy diving. cycl-
Ing. fencing, etc, have been held as
attractions. but have never been
counted, as there is no precedent for
them in annals of the ancient games.
But the Rrtons have counted them
all to secure points. For instance,
belgium is credited with one point,
under the American and accepted
schedule. because of a competitor from
that country finishing third in
recognized contest. Tho British credit
them with one point because OF win
in the Henley regatta.

Her Record as Nurse.
The principal physician in the town
was one day hurriedly called to the
minister's house and, finding the min.
lister seriously i'll, recommended the
services of trained nurse. The min.
ister's wife believed that she was fully
capable of nursing him herself and to
convince the doctor of her ability said,
Il nursed my father till he died, /
nursed my mother till she died, and
nursed both my sisters till they
died."

told OF his adventure ana his loss.
They sympathized with him deeply,
and while doing so two others of the
set, Mark Hamlin and Ben Turner,
walked in. Stout was somewhat sur
prised to find callers so late at night
it was II o'clock-but, after all, there
was nothing remarkable in their visit.
After listening to his account of the
robbery and asking many questions,
Mark Hamlin handed him the pocket
book Of which he had been robbed
and confessed himself the robber.
Then there was a general jollffica-
ton. Stout brought out drinkable and
cigars, and all agreed that a very
amusing and practical joke had been
played.
Some months after this Stout was
again on his way home at night, this
time with $1,000 in his pocket that had
come in late, when at the very same
spot as before he heard the order:
Hands up!'' ...
At the same time he felt the cold
muzzle Of gun near his ear and hands
relieving him OF everything he pos
sessed. Then the man with the gun
said to him:
You walk around the block before
you 60 home and remember that you're
watched. Any attempt to use tele-
phone for the next half hour will re-
