Some Persian Jokes.

An exceedingly ugly man was once
in the mosque, asking pardon of AL
lab for his sins. and praying to be
delivered from the fires of hell. One
who overheard his prayer said to
him. Wherefore, o friend, wouldst
thou cheat hell of such a counte-
nance? Art thou reluctant to burn
up face like that?"
Once again, the story-writer tells
us that a certain person with a hid
eous nose was once on a time wooing
a woman. Describing himself to her,
and trying to make an attractive
picture, he said: Il am man devoid
of lightness and frivolity, and l am
patient in bearing afIlictions!'
Aye" said the woman, "wert
thou not patient in bearing of af-
fiictions, thou hadst never endured
thy nose these forty years."
All of which is more witty than
kind. Hardly less sharp is this next
tale: Bahlul, we are told. once came
into the presence of the famed Caliph
Raschid. One of the viziers accosted
him, saying, Rejoice, O Bahlul, at
these good tidings. The Prince of
the Faithful has made thee ruler
over apes and swine!"
Take my orders, then" quickly
retorted Bahlul. 'for surely thou art
of my subjects!"

The Proportion of Sugar to Use.
Interesting experiments have re

schools of cookery in this country to
determine the amount OF sugar and

the following conclusions: First.
that the amount of boiling necessary
to secure perfect product varies
somewhat with each fruit: but is
practically uniform with the same
fruit. Second. that the smaller the
amount of sugar the longer boiling
Is necessary. with the result that "A

safest proportion. although n fruit

STRICKEN
Down By Death At His Post
OF Duty
Death Comes Instantly To
Florence Sullivan
The Veteran WatChman At
The B. & 0. Crossing
Heart Trouble Was The Cause
OF His Death
Was Employed BY The CON-
pany For fears

Remaining at his post Of duty to the
very end, death came instantly to
Florence Sullivan, the veteran watch
man at the Vine street crossing Of the
3. G. o. railroad at about $3.50 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon. He was found
dead In his little "shanty" near the
crossing by Carlo Serpe, foreman OF
the 3. G o. extra section gang. MIR.
suIlivan's death was due to heart dis
ease.
Mr.. Sullivan had not been in the
best of health for the past week. A
day or SO ago Mr.. Daniel Stone called
upon Mr.. Sullivan at his shanty and
at that time he was suffering from a
slight attack of heart trouble and was
scarcely able to talk. During the fall
months, Mr.. Sullivan also suffered a
severe attack of heart trouble.
Mr.. Sullivan tagged as usual for the
north bound passenger train, which
goes through here at 2:42. He then
went back into his shanty and so the
exact hour which his death occurred
will probably never be known. Near
the hour of $3.50 o'clock Carlo Serpe,
who is in charge of the extra section
gang in this city went into the shanty
and found Mr.. Sullivan dead. He re-
ported the fact to Mr.. Henry Carr at
the freiht depot and he Immediately
called DR.. James F. Lee. Medical at
teltion was of no avail and the physi-
clan pronounced the cause of his
death as heart disease.
Florence Sullivan was "A years of

conduct party of tourists Tuesday
evening. More than one hundred
views of this marvellous Yellowstone
region will be shown through the ster-

be as fine as anything before the pub
lie. Yellowstone Park is one of the
most wonderful and beautiful spots
on the whole earth. The coloring Of
the gigantic terraces is magiicent
beyond description. The mighty gey-
sers, the gigantic walls of rock reach
ing into the clouds, the almost bottom
less chasms, the rushing rivers, and
thunderous waterfalls are all seen up
on the canvas in the exquisite beauty
with which nature has garbed them.
A comic set of twelve views will be
shown: "How Uncle Pompey Jined."
1t is a life model series showing how
colored citizen was induced to take
the pledge against strong drink.
"The Wreck of the Hesperus" by
