The Clever Scheme That Was Worked

A Frenchman had been attending the
Coincide Franchise, and after the per-
Torrance he took a gloomy byway in
order to make a short cut to the Bou-
levard Montmartre. He noticed as he
FASTENED through the dark a slight tug
on his coattail. but to this he paid no
attention. When he reached the bright
boulevard. however, he found, to bis
great modification, that one tail of his
clawhammer coat had been cut OF.
He notified a journalist Of his loss, and
the next morning an account Of the
odd theft appeared in the Figaro. That
afternoon q man in a blue uniform
called on him.
Il come, monsieur" the man said
from the bureau of police. We have
captured a suspicious character who
had in his pocket a piece of fine black
cloth. Let me have your mutilated
coat. sir II the piece fits 1t, we will
know that we have apprehended the
man who robbed you"
The other surrendered his coat, and
from that day TO this he heard no more
about 1t. The pretended official was

OUR TIME STANDARDS.

The Four Sections That Divide the
United States.
Every nation has it's OWE time stand
ard, but the United States has four.
These time sections. as they are called,
were introduced in the year 1888,
chiefly for the benefit of the railroads,
and are known as the eastern, central,
mountain and Pacific. The eastern
section extends from the Atlantic coast
to an irregular line drawn from De-
troit to Charleston. S. c.; the central
includes all between this line and an
other extending from Bismarck. N. D.,
to the mouth of the Rio Grande river;
the mountain extends from here to the
western boundary Of Montana, Idaho,
Utah and Arizona, and the Pacific in
cludes all the remainder Of the coun-
try to the Pacific coast.
The difference in time between ad-
joining sections is one hour, so that
when it is II o'clock in New York city
it is II o'clock at Chicago, 10 o'clock at
Denver and 0 o'clock at San Francisco.
The true local time of any place is
slower or faster than the standard
time, according as the place is west
or east of the time meridian. Thus the
local time at Boston is sixteen minutes
faster than eastern standard time
while at Buffalo it Is sixteen minutes
slower.-Harper's Weekly.

The water wagon had a disaster
yesterday and there was a dumping

were Edward Lindsay, who had ex-
perienced the same sensation prev

there was some beer in him but he did
not know whether he was drunk or
sober. He was arrested at 3 o'clock
this morning while patroling across
the Main street bridge carrying half

had been up before but was fined only
IS and costs. Grant Parsons, who was
witness before the grand jury in
the John Knapp murder case and ap-
peared there under the influence OF
intoxicants, said I'm surely guilty,
when asked to enter his plea. His as
sessment was 81 and costs.

Bully OF New Mexico Town Had the
Tables Turned on Him.
The average tenderfoot is not cow
ard. He simply lacks ranch expert
ence. An illustration Of this fact &C.
Cured down in New Mexico several
years ago: One day a pale looking.
thin and sickly young man alighted
from the train and put up at the lit
tie adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The
tenderfoot walked up to the bar and
called for bottle of soda pop.
"'Tain't allowed to drink that sort o
stuff out here" said a toughy. What
you want is a stiff drink O. red liquor.
Mr.. Barkeeper, set out the pison for
this young Teller" you have the best
of me-" replied the tenderfoot, land
I'll have to drink the stuff, but hope
the time may come when I can make
you drink my choice of liquid"
The tenderfoot raised the glass and
gulped down the whisky. Sandy had
had his way about 1t, and he made no
effort to comprehend the vague remark
Of the stranger. The tenderfoot left
for a ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the incident in the saloon,
and he was forgotten until one after
noon more than a year afterward a
strong, healthy looking young man
rode up to the hotel on a broncho,
dropped the bride reins upon the
ground and dismounted. He had the
appearance of typical young man Of
the range. His face was bronzed and
his eyes clear and penetrating. Il owe
a fellow a debt which I believe I will
pay right now" the stranger said.
No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked off in the direction Of
Sandy, who had his gun in his right
hand and was firing it into the air
every few steps. The stranger ap-
preached Sandy. pulled his gun and
unceremoniously dragged the bully up
to the saloon and led him in that fash
ion up to the bar. Get me a pan of
water and set it upon the floor" he
said to the barkeeper.
The order was complied with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering what
was going to happen to him. Now
get down on the floor and drink water
out of that pan like a dog" the former
tenderfoot ordered Sandy at first re
fused, but when the stranger began
twirling his gun around on his forefin
ger and said the order must be obeyed
| the cowed fellow unlimbered and lay
down upon the floor and began drink
| ing water out of the pan.-Denver Field

ROASTED TO DEATH
BY ELECTRIC WIRES
Three Die in Horrible Manner
During Fire.

Altoona, Penn, July 22.-During a
fire in the Kline Building last night,
three persons were electrocuted by
live wires which dropped to the street.
The dead:
Joseph Byers, fireman.
Joseph Frick. lineman for Edison
Electric Company.
Harry Deshong, a lad OF IL years.
Byers and Frick were instantly
killed. The wires fell around the
neck of young Deshong and nearly
burned his head off, the terrified crowd
being afaid to render assistance.
While the firemen were at work in
front of the building the intense heat
melted the wires and they dropped to
the street.
Byers and Prick, in attempting to
escape them, became entangled and
were roasted to death.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca Of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church, and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
lind the thief. Il shall go into the
church and steal money from some
pody else," said the pilgrim. "for
nave nothing to go home with" He
went into the church and seeing a
man in the crowd with wallet on his
back slipped his hand into it and
pulled out his own stolen purse, with
the exact sum he had left in it. He
was so glad to find his money that he
hurried off to tell the priest and the
thief got away.
