to get at the head or the throat-at the

With one paw and usually succeeds In

A Simple Little Errand That Made q
Lot Of Comr,otion.
One of the most amusing accidents
imaginable happened to an old gentle
man in one Of our large eastern cities.
He was asked to buy a ticket to fire
mans ball and good naturedly COM
piled. The next question was what to
do with it. He had two servants,
either Of whom would be glad to use
It, but he did not wish to show favor
itism.
Then it occurred to him that he might
buy another ticket ana give both his
servants a pleasure. Not knowing
where the tickets were sold, he H.
quired of a policeman, and the omeer
suggested that he 90 to the engine
house. So the old gentleman went to
the engine house that evening, but
there was no One In sight. He had hev-
er been fl such q place before and
stood for a moment or 10 uncertain
how to make his presence known.
Presently he saw an, electric button
on the Side Of the room, ana he put his
thumb on 1t. .''.S ~ -"
The effect was electrical in every sense
of the word. Through the ceiling,
down the stairs and from every other
direction fSemen came running ana
falling, the horses rushed out Of their
stalls, and, in short, all the machinery
Of a modern engine house was instant
ly In motion.
Amid all this uproar stood the limo
cent old gentleman, who did not sus-
pect that he had touched the fire alarm
until'the men clamored around him for
information as to the locality Of the
fire. w.
Then he said mildly, Il should like to
buy another ticket 'for~the ball, If you
please r.
The situation was so ludicrous that
there was a genera" sh6ut Of laughter,
and the old gentleman bought his
ticket, and the engine house resumed
its' former state Of quiet.-Exehange.

A SURPRISED sW0RDsMANl..,
Judge Goffe's Play With a Dragging
Fencing Master.

Fencing Master.
A fencing master appeared in Boston
one winter in the seventeenth century
and had erected a stage on which he
strutted up and down at certain hours,
defying any and all to engage in sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the mans boasts had be-
come insufferable Judge William COTE
and Edward Whalley, the famous Eng
fish political refugees, disguised them
selves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. COTE held
In one hand cheese wrapped in a
napkin, which he used for shield,
and carried mop which he had soak
ed in muddy water as he passed pud-
die.
Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to begone. The judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made pass at him
with his sword to drive him off. The
Judge received the sword in his cheese
and held 1t there till he had drawn
the mop over the professors face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes
resulted similarly, this time the Judge
poling the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and grab
bed up huge broadsword. Thereupon
the judge said:
Y "Stop, sir! Hitherto, you see, have
only played with you and not attempt
ed to do you harm, but If you come at
me now with the broadsword know
that will certainly take your lifev'
The master was impressed by the
firmness with which the Judge spoke,
for he dropped the point Of his weapon
and exclaimed: "Who can you be? You
must be either COTE, Whalley or the
devil, for there was no other man in
England that could beat me!'-Boston

was told that prisoners were placed In

long as the prisoner lived his food was
handed in on a plate. end he handed
the empty plate back, but when he
handed the plate back with the food
on it untouched, then the jailer knew
he was dead and didn't give him any
more"

WONDERFUL I: MIRAGEs.
False Peak Of Tenerife and Illusions
In the pardaneIles.

v6IsS Teak OF enerife and Illusions
In the Dardanelles.
The peak Of Tenerife is known among
deep sea sailors as the false peak"
Owing to some popularity of the at
mosphere it is always seen by mirage
In exactly the opposite direction from
which it lies, and only the fact that all
captains know that the mirage appears
long before the true peak is visible
through the most powerful glass pre-
vents many a ship from sailing many
miles out of her course. 1t is hard for
a greenhorn to believe that the males
tic purple mountain towering astern or
on the port beam apparently only a
short distance off is In reality miles
away in exactly the opposite direction
and the seemingly solid earth at which
he is gazing is only reflection on the
clear mirror of the air. Many weird
tales are told Of shipwrecked men who
have steered for the false peak in the
expectation Of finding land and have
persisted Of hunger and thirst while
pursuing the phantom mountain.
Sometimes the passengers and crew
Of a vessel on the lookout for the false
peak see much tarer ard more beau
tiful mirage, that Of ship in the sky.
It usually appears about 10 O'clock in
the morning. about ten degrees above
the horizon and under full sail, every
delicate spar and tapering mast clearly
visible against the blue ether and even
the play of light and shadow in the
bellying canvas plainly discermble to
the naked eye. It generally remains in
sight half an hour or more before
gracefully fading away. The oldest
mariner can never remember having
seen the mirage of a steamer In that
latitude, but always that Of full rig
ged ship, and this peculiar fact has
given birth to many romantic legends
about the ship in the sky, all connect
ing it in some way with the false peak.
The vicinity of the Dardanelles Is
the real home of mirages, and it is sell
dom that any vessel sails along the
Syrian coast without seeing one or
more. Oddly enough, the mirages Of
the Dardanelles are always the refiec-

the naked eye and are invariably dis
torted in grotesque and fantastic carl
catures Of the things reflected. 1t is
certainly startling to see a steamer
bearing down with her masts where
her water line and should be and the
water line where the tops of the masts
and funnel ought to show, while her
decks are in the right place, thus add
ing to her nncanny appearance, but
this is frequent sight near the Oar
danelles. There IS one peculiar feature
Of the mirages which hover near the
false peak--5tthe real objects of which
they are reflections are so far away
that very often they are never sighted
until long after the reflection has van
ished, and sometimes not at all.-New
York Press.
