A MANS HAT.
Why is 1t Always Regarded as a Fit
Subject For Jokes7


Il wonder why it is, says 4 young
gentleman who spends most of his lei
sure time studying human nature at
populouS street corner. that Il man :
hat is always regarded as a fit subject
for jokes; Anything that happens to
his shoes is Il serious matter. and. al
though his vest, especially If it Is out
of the usual in design or color. Is
sometimes made the subject of pointed
remarks, disaster to any other garment
is regarded as a matter of sympathy.
But if he goes to church and puts
down his hat at the end of his pew.
where somebody kicks dent in it
and knocks it five feet down the aisle.
or if he places it carefully beside him
in lecture room or theater and Il
preoccupied young woman comes in
and sits down on it people laugh with
out seeming to feel the slightest SYM
pathy for him or his sky piece.
"A man chasing his hat through the
street on a windy day will always at
tract n grinning, unsympathetic crowd
ready TO lay bets on the distance tue
hat will travel before he catches up
or on the amount of damage it will
sustain before it is finally recovered.
and so irritated does the owner be-
come when he finds his vicious dabs
and grabs at it greeted with ironical
applause that he generally forgets To
thank the man who stops it by stamp
ing on it and hands it back. | be-
lieve Joe Miller perpetrated jokes about
chasing the hat. but the heavy felts
and cooked hats of Miller's time did
not lend themselves readily to joking
purposes. for when those old fashioned
headpieces were blown of they drop
ped to the ground and stayed there.

making when, without his knowledge,
the residents around Mountain Lake
park were notified to assemble there at
3 o clock today to hear him talk. Over
1900 of them gathered while Mr.. Bryan,
at Deer Park, was protesting to local

speech. He finally was persuaded to
take the three-mile drive and shake
hands with those in the assemblage
with the understanding that he should
not speak and that there should be no
handclapping.

SPITE WORK IN TRAIN WRECK.
Train, Going Forty Miles an Hour, l.
Derailed by an Omen Switch.

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 15.-Fifteen
passengers were slightly injured when
the New York Chicago limited, on the
Erie railway, was wrecked in the vii
lage OF Geneva, Pa. The wreck is be-
heved by the Erie officials here to have
been due to train wreckers. Blood
hounds have been taken to Geneva in
an effort to trace the alleged wreckers.
All of the passengers injured were in
the day coach. The most serious in
jury was sustained by man whose
legs were broken.
The train was derailed by an open
switch at Geneva, while running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour. The loco.
motive was overturned. The engineer
and fireman escaped injury. Two cars,
the combination express and baggage
car and the day coach, left the track.
The railway officials believe the wreck
was due to train wreckers, who may
have had grudge against the com
pany.

DEFACEs JOHNSTON WILL
Document Found in Effects of John
ston After His Arrest on Muir
der Charge.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 16-Almost
CHASTITY in its tenor, the mutilated will
OF Mrs. Lee A. Johnston of Nome,
Alaska, today came into the hands of
Attorney John T. Lawler, who four
years ago drew up the will for the dead
woman, then in the full flush of health.
The original will, in which the testator
bequeathed $4,000 worth of property in
Butte, Mont, to her two sisters, Miss
Christina Gilchrist of Butte and Mrs.
M. L. Hedge of Port Blakeley, WASH,
had been mutilated in such way that
the names of the benefciaries were re-
moved. Some person into whose hands
the will had fallen after it was drawn
up by the attorney had written in a
cramped hand the words, "I have an
other will made for Canada property
which I, Isabella M. Gilchrist, leave
all to Cthe name of the forged bene-
fiicary being illegible)."
