The unexpected performance saved his
life. His calm indifference persuaded
Samory's rnen that they had to do with
some one Of Immense Importance. Un-
willing to take ON themselves the re.
sponsibility for his death, they sent
him unharned to Samory's court in
the Jimini country.
Once again Lieutenant Henderson
saved himself by a like exhibition Of
courage. He found SamOry on Q
throne, surrounded by 1000 warriors
yet when motioned to do homage on
his hands and knees he did nothing Of
the sort. He simply sat on the throne
beside Samory, shaking that monarch
warmly by the hand. Thanks to this,
and to nothing else, be was accepted
as the representative Of a great SOW

death. He talked TO Samory of the

Naval officers who have made the
cruise from the Atlantic to the Pacific
at this time of the year are speculat-
ing as to the effect of what is known
as the "Callao painter" upon the ships
of the United States battleship fleet
during their stay at Callao. The
"Callao painter is a perculiar condit-
ion of the water in the harbor at
times, caused by the presence of sui
phurated hydrogendue to. serve gas or
other cause. Ships painted white, as
are those of Admiral Evans fleet have
been known to turn a dirty brown
or grayish black within two days after
anchoring in the haTbor of Callao, the
change being attributed to effects OF
the mysterious "Callao painter and

was that about very sick Scotchman.
A doctor had been called to the pa
TENTS home to attend him, and, after
carefully diagnosing the case, decided
that an operation was necessary to
save life. When he announced this
fact to the Scotchman the patient re-
piled:
"Well, if I have to be operated upon,
want the minister to be present"
But it is not necessary to have the
minister present." replied the physi-
clan. - :" . W.
But the old man could not see it
that way, and insisted upon the min

The other day little old man, who

14th street and waved desperately to
the conductor to stop the car.
The car was few minutes behind

stop the car. Upon second thought
he pulled the bell rope. Perhaps the
old man, he unused might be going for
a doctor, or perhaps he wanted to
catch a train.
The accommodating conductor jerk
ed the rope with vim and the car
came to a sudden halt.

Pittsburg, Pa. March 30.-Police-
man David Lennox, while intoxicated

chased them into a saloon. Leaning
up against the bar he said:

whiskey in your lives, but you are
going to have your fill now. The fell

now and two gins with a schooner
of beer to top off with, gets licked
first and arrested later. | pay for

The gang fell to in a hurry, fear
ing LennoX might change his mind.
One by one they fell to the floor or
reeled into a corner. Henry Thomp-
son dropped like a shot as he raised
his eighth glass to his lips and died
later in the patrol wagon on the
way to the police station. There was
giant negro, however, who out
drank them all. His name is not
known to the Passavant Hospital
people, where he is dying, but his
record will stand for years. He drank

on his fifteenth. Several other men

The Sausa cc.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manufac-
tured sausages. but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enyeloped in the stomachs OF
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen
fury that sausage made of hashed pork
became known. 1t was in or near the
year 1900 that. thanks to the introduc
ton into Germany of cinnamon and
saffron, the Sausages of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired a universal repu-
tation.
