SUNSET AND SUNRISE

Far to the west the Sun-King sweeps.
Flooding the world with gold:
Nearer and nearer the hill he creeps.
Until with passion bold
He throws abroad to the universe
Swift arrows of ruby light.
Nights gathering armies to disperse.-
oprove his glorious might.
Then DINNER and DINNER his beauties fade.
And wearied he sinks from view.
Until at morn his beams are rayed
Out from the eastern blue.

HOTEL CELLS.
Tho Difference Between Them and
 Those of tho JaiIs.

The Difference Between Them and
 Those of the JaiIs.
 The chief difference between the av. ernge hotel cell and the average pris- on cell, viewed from the standpoint of social psychology, is that one is locked on the inside to keep outsiders out, while the other is locked on the out side to keep insiders in. The occupant of the hotel cell is afraid that some thing will be done to him or that some thing will be taken from hNo by some one who ought to be in a prison cell. That is the theory of it.
 Lock your door and leave your val uables at the onice," cautions the oblig- ing innkeeper. "If you had valuables you wouldn't be here," observes the witty prison keeper. That is to say. the question of valuables seems to en- ter largely into tke matter.
 It would be great to have a civiliza- tion which considered valuable only those things which could not be stolen. such as mental and moral equipment, skill and good fellowship. Then we could be a little more sociable. We could talk to each other without but toning our coats or feeling for our dia- mond studs every few minutes. Then the man who willingly secluded him. self in a stuffy hotel cell could be locked in and made to stay there on the ground that something terrible was the matter with him.-Success AIaga- zine

What Thieves Won't Steal.

The last thing the woman did before leaving the fat was to put four rings in the clock on the mantel. ''So thieves won't get them" she said
 'I should think that would be simply inviting thieves to run away with them" said her friend. That is a handsome clock. and thieves like hand some clocks"
 ''They do," said the woman, "but they never will steal this clock. It ticks too loud. No wise thief will run away with a clock that goes like a thrashing machine. It isn't the alarm about his person that he is afraid of, for he can stop the clock, but the oc- cupants of the fiat are likely to return before he gets safely away, and if a loud ticking clock is gone they will miss 1t the minute they step inside the door and maybe give him a hot chase for his plunder."-New York Press

THEATRICAL COSTUMES.
The Man Who Supplies Them Must Be
 Artistic and Well Read.

' nc wan "no supplies nem muSt DO
 Artistic and We'll Read.
 An extensive library Is an absolute necessity to the theatrical costSmer. At the head of every theatrical cos tuning establishment there is a man of education, experience and genuine artistic ability whose business it is to know what is needed and how to get 1t. If "The Prince of India," Ben Hur'' or ''The Darling of the Gods" is to be produced he must map out the lines on which the costuming is to be done, and those lines must be absolute ly accurate. There is a wide differ ence between the French costumes of Napoleon's time and those worn by Jeanne d'Arc and her friends. The chief designer must know it and act on his knowledge. At the time Gus ter fought his last fight the United States army-cavalry and infantry was outhtted in a peculiar manner the play deals with American army life of that period the costumes must show 1t. for 1t would never do to have the critics roast" the piece because the producers were ignorant of the thing produced. The man at the head of the costuming department must ci- ther be conversant with all countries and all periods of history or he must know how to become so with decided alacrity: hence the costumer's library.

cONJURED A TREATY.
How Houdin, the Magician, Awed the
 Arabs Into Submission.

How Houdin, the Magician, Awed the Arabs Into Submission.
 During the. French conquest of AL geria 1S30-3) negotiations for peace were entered upon with the sheiks of certain Arab tribes, and meeting for the settlement of terms was arranged to take place at the French headquar- ters. The French officers received their guests with great hospitality, and after the banquet given in their honor, at which the utmost splendor was em- ployed in order to dazzle their eyes and captivate their simple minds, an adjournment was made to large hall. where M. Houdin, the celebrated con- jurer, who had accompanied the French forces, gave an exhibition of his skill.
 They stared in open mouthed wonder at all the tricks that were performed, and a feeling of awe crept over them as they witnessed the mysterious ap- pearanceSand disappearance of various objects But what appeared to them most marvellous was the apparent manufacture of cannon balls. M. Hou- din passed round among them a high hat, which they examined very care fully, but without suSpecting anything unusual in either it's make or it's ap-. pearance. When the hat was returned to him the conjurer placed 1t on the floor in the middle of the stage in fulb view of his audience. He then proceed ed to take from the hat cannon balls apparently without number and rolled them across the floor into the wings With this the performance terminated.
 The chiefs then consulted among themselves and came to the conclusion that it was useless to offer any 0pposi- ton to an army that could turn out it's ammunition in so easy manner. , They therefore signed the required treaty and departed to tell their friends in the desert of the wonderful power of the invaders

A FRONTIER MARKSMAN.
Wild Bill HiekoI<'s Skill In Use of the
 Six Shooter.

Six Shooter.
 Wild Bill Hickok was the first fron- tiersman who recognized the fmpor- tance of proficiency in the use of the six shooter. This was the real secret of his supremacy. He was an unerring marksman and shot as accurately un- der fire as when firing at a mark, ap- parently taking no aim.
 Probably no man has ever equaled him in the lightning-Eke rapidity with which he could draw a weapon in time of emergency and in the thorough self possession that made it possible for him to take advantage of every oppor- tunfty in savage conflict He had a standing order to his deputies that they should not rush in on him in any of his affrays and especially should not come quickly up in the rear.
 By forgetting this a man named Will Hams met his death at Abilene. Hickok taking him for an enemy and firing so rapidly that it left no opportunity for recognition. He readily killed a wild goose across the Smoky Hill with his revolver. Riding at his horses highest speed. he fired shot after shot into a tin can or post few rods distant.
 Standing at one telegraph pole, he would swing rapidly on his heel and fire pistol ball into the next telegraph pole. These were some of the simpler feats he performed day after day on the street to settle little wagers. He could shoot a hole through a silver dime at fifty paces and could drive the cork through the neck of q bottle at thirty paces and knock out the bottom without breaking the neck. He could do what the fancy shots of the present day do, and possibly some of them equal him as marksman with a re- volver, but 1t must be remembered that he was the first to acquire the skill, and the so called crack shots of his day were poor limitations at best, al- though most of them boasted of their fame.
 He shot just as well with others shooting at him and at man as stead fly as at any other target. There were

 "Why, George" he said, you must not dig round those small bushes in that way. l am sure you are strong enough to pull them up by the roots."
 'Oh, yes. sir," replied the gardener; "l'm strong enough, but l must dig a little before can get hold of the roots If you'd told me to pull them up by the branches I could, of course, easily have removed them without digging" London Strand Magazine.

ARTIE ROEMER
 LOST HIS NERVE IN THE TENTH
And Harry Durant's Serio-Comics Took
 First Blood of Season.
Orators Were the Snappier in Field Play But the Authors Were There With the RalI0p.

Artie ROemer took the aeroplane route in the tenth inning of the open ing game Saturday and when the bal last gave out Waterbury had scored five runs which was too big of a handicap for the Orators to overcome Up to the fatal tenth, however, the game was a good one to watch for the shivering fans as neither side had the better of the argument. Waterburys ability to bunch their hits with the gifts of Roemer allowed the game. Bridgeport played a fine fielding game only two errors being made. The first ball batted went at George Bannon The wind gave 1t a zig-zag course and 1t fell out of Georges init. The other was wild heave into center field by Kocher to catch Doherty off second base.

Schincel was also given a free pass and stole second. Bannis- ter's single sent both men home Ban mister moved up to second when Roem- CT pumped Cote in the elbow. Swan der's single into left sent Bannister home. Nichols and Bronkie each came l in for singles sending in Cote and l Swander ahead of them. Miller ended | the agony by going out. second to first.
 Bridgeport took a dangerous look in their half. the fans seeing visions of a victory. Miller the first up made his third two bagger. McKenna who re- lieved Mitchell in right reached first on Bronkie's error of his grounder. Miller scored when Cote dropped Hilt's high fly. Ladd flew out to left field.
