PiIkerton Won the Race.

at one of the regattas of the Ma
tional Association Of American Oars
men during the early nineties James
Pilkerton, for many years the cham
pion sculler of America, was matched
to row double against another team.
He and his mate were the champions,
and the general belief was that they
would win without effort. But the
night before the regatta public opinion
suddenly and mysteriously changed,
Mr.. Pilkerton knew that this was not
caused by any new development OF
strength in his opponent or any loss OF
skill on his own part. After making
some quiet inquiries he discovered that
there was talk of his rowing mate hav-
ing been bought up by the other side
and of an arrangement to throw the
race.
He didn't say.anything about his sus-
p~icions, but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were well out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look here. you blooming cutthroat.
You've got to swim. drown or win this
race! You know met" He won

Sickroom Visitors,

Three days after the operation the
doctor told the patient that she could
have company. "Not too many at
first. you know he said, "but two or
three visitors a day."
"But | don't want company" the
patient surprised him by saying.
Don't want company? Well, you're
the first person I've heard say that"
Very little, I mean, doctor. l don't
want to see many of my friends.
Didn't you ever notice the manner
isms that everybody has? It's just
the little habits that people get into
that are most wearing when you are
sick, and I'm always inclined to tell
persons right out that they're annoy
ing me. Then. of course. if / do they're
hurt. You know the sort Of little char
acteristics that are often noted in the
courtroom. how the judge swings his
glasses and the lawyer twists his hair
and the prisoner swings his foot back
and forth. When | an sick there's
nothing more annoying than those lit
tie habits. ! don't know a soul who
hasn't got some few habits that are
very unpleasant when I am sick. and
l think everybody will agree with me
People are not good in a sickroom. as
a rule. just because they have some
harmless little habit like rocking vio-
lently in a chair or beating a tattoo on
the table or fiddling with something in
the hands."-New York Press.

Would Beuueath Her Ears.

Harriet Martineau displayed orig
inality in the provisions she made at
one time for the disposal Of her re-
mains. James Payn relates that, hav-
ing consulted T~oynbee, the distinguish
ed aurist. with regard to her deafness,
she was SO pleased with the interest
he took in her case that she resolved
to leave him by testamentary bequest
her ears. She announced this inten-
ton in the presence Of her medical
man. Mr.. Shepherd, who to my inf
mite amazement observed: But, my
dear madam, you can't do that. 1t
will make your other legacy worth
less The fact was, in the interest of
science, Miss Martineau had already
left her head to the chronological So
ciety. / asked the doctor how he
came to know that. OH he said,
she told me so herself. She has left
FLO in her codicil to me for cutting it
off," The doctor, however, died be-
fore his patient, and the chronological
society never received the legacy OF
her head.-London Chronicle.

Whence she had come no one knew.
The guests at the hotel had spent days
trying TO solve this mystery, for every
one knew there was a mystery-every
one. from the round faced bellboy to
the rheumatic old millionaire who
smilingly nodded from his seat in the
sunlight whenever she passed by.
The girl wore plain clothes, but they
were SO dainty, so well worn and so
tastefully chosen that no one guessed
that she possessed a single evening
gown. She vas retiring, almost shy,

She had rented a large front room
