A THRILLING RIDE.
Tho Piano Run Frenchnan Gave
 Locomotive Enqineer.

"I was loitering arounl the streets last night" said Jim Nelson. one of the old locomotive engineers running into New Orleans. As l had nothing to do dropped into a concert and heard a sleek looking Frenchman play a piano in way that made me feel all over ill spots. As soon as he sat down on the stool l knew by the way he handled himself that he understood the machine he was running. He tapped the keys away up one end. jus, as if they were gauges and he Tauteu to see if he had water enough. Then he looked up as if he wanted to know how much steam he was carrying. ant the next moment he pulled open the throttle and sailed on to the main line as if he was half an hour late. You could hear her thunder over culverts and bridges and getting faster and faster, until the fellow rocked about in his seat like cradle. Somehow l thought 1t was old 36 pulling l,as senger train and getting out of the way of a special. The fellow worked the keys on the middle division like lightning, and then he flew along the north end of the line until the drivers went around like buzz saw and l go, excited. About the time l was fixing to tell him to cut her off little he kicked the dampers under the machine wide open, pulled the throttle away back in the tender, and how he did run! 1 couldn't stand 1t any longer. and yelled to him that he was pound ing in the left side, and if he wasn't careful he'd drop his ash pan. But he didn't hear. No one heard me Everything was flying and whizzing Telegraph poles on the side of the track looked like row of cornstalks, and trees appeared to be mudbank. and all the time the exhaust of the old machine sounded like the hum of bumblebee. l tried to yell out, but my tongue wouldn't move. He went around the curves like bullet, slipped an eccentric, blew out his soft plug went down grades fifty feet to the mile and not controlling brake set. She went by the meeting point at mile and half a minute, and calling for more steam. My hair stood up straight. because knew the game was up. Sure enough, dead ahead of us was the headlight of a special. In a daze heard the crash as they struck. and saw cars shivered into atoms, people smashed and mangled and bleeding and gasping for water. heard another crash as the French professor struck the deep keys away down on the lower end of the southern division, and then came to my senses. There he was at dead standstill, with the door of the firebox of the machine open, wiping the perspiratio of his face and lowing to the people before him. If live to be a thousand years old I'll never forget the ride that Frenchman gave me on piano." Life

Culinary Mysteries That BewiIdered

 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable; the next we were grap. bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to US, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fllers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where In every dish had an accompaniment ot smaller ones, containing gravies. etc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish, which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only, for the Chinese remembers bis servant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ing of thankfulness that all was over. pipes, cigarettes and tea were served, and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on US for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.

The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine ln order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not So in the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been, generally speaking. confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test inS identical qualities and shapes of bricks. so can you wonder if promi- rent fire day manufacturer should OK

A Spartan Father.

Recently first year high school ru- pill handed her history teacher what she evidently considered an exhaustive and final study of Lacedaemonian GUS toms. In 1t she stated that one Spar tan habit of strengthening youth was to compel the boys to sleep always on beds and thistles.

Among old time laws against kissing those of Iceland appear to have been the most severe. Punishment was the penalty laid down for kissing another mans wife, either with or without her consent. The same punishment was enforced for kissing an unmarried wo- man against her will: if 1t could be proved that she had consented to be kissed the offender was still liable to . fine of great quantity of cloth for each onense.

GERMAN EMPER0R'S THREAT

Won Heckeren Wants Guaranty of
NetherIands' Aid In Event of
British-German Trouble

THE HAGUE, Feb. 9.-Heretofore
yelled reports that Emperor William at
one time threatened to occupy Holland
unless that country was placed in a
state of defense against the possible
descent of the English were given a
definite form in the first chamber of
the states general today during dis
cussion of foreign office estimates.
Baron Won Heckeren urgently de-
manded that steps be taken to secure
guaranty of the integrity of the
Netherlands in the event of trouble be-
tween Germany and Great Britain and
gave as a reason that neighboring
sovereign intimated a few years ago
that he would be obliged to have Dutch
territory occupied If Holland did not
place herself in an adequate state of
defense against Great Britain"
Foreign Minister Van SWinderen-
den declared he was not in position
to refute Heckeren's assertion unless
the latter explained precisely what was
meant by the words ''neighboring SOW
ereign'' and "intimated.''
He urged Heckeren in the interest of
the country to be more explicit. The
latter, however. had no more to say.

PRISONERS OF WAR
TAKEN TO MANAGUA
Chamorro Reported to Be Retiring
Toward Rio Grande-Ramirez
Held in Prison on Pretext
Without Trial

MANAGUA, Feb. 9.-The prisoners
taken at Las Garitas have arrived at
Managua. They include several Of
ficers of the revolutionist forces. The
column sent from Boaca in pursuit of
Chamorro reports that he is retiring
in the direction of Rio Grande.
President Madriz has received the
following from Santos Tomas, dated
today:
have returned from the point where
the enemy was reported. Our forces
marched sixteen miles into the bushes,
finding only the tracks of the enemy.
The density of the bush impeded our
further progress, obliging suspension of
the pursuit. Heavy desertions are COM
pletely disorganizing the enemy. I will
now attend to the pursuit of Chamorro.
"VASQUEZ."
Jose Santos Ramirez, minister of
posts and communication under former
President Zelaya, who was arrested
and thrown into Jail about six weeks
trial. He will be charged by Madriz
with using the telegraph lines of the
country to further the political aims of
the enemies of the government.
These broad charges were never
proven, and it is generally believed
here they are without foundation. In
spite of this, President Madriz will not
permit his liberation. Senior Ramirez
is one of the most important political
prisoners now in custody in Managua
and local sentiment is almost universal
in favor of his release.

BERKELEY, Feb. eff the as

STATE SENATORS FIGHT
TO DISPR0VE CHARGES
Lawyers Cross Examine Bank Cashier
for Three Hours to Break
Down Statements

ALBANY, N. Y. Feb. 9.-The reputa-
tions of two state senators were the
stakes for which two of the foremost
examiners in the country battled
today in the senate.
Before them were Hiram G.. Moe, a
bank cashier from Groton, whose as
sertion that he gave Senator lothian
p. Aids $1,000 to suppress bill hostile
to the bridge building combination, has
made him the foremost figure in the
senate INVESTIGATION of bribery charges
made against Senator Aids by his COL
league, Senator Conger.
Moe was under ss-eXamination for
three hours today but did not retract
his assertions of yesterday.
Aids corps of lawyers framed their
questions to show that the giver of
a bribe Aids accuser Conger, might be
guilty.
Their questions indicated it was SEN
ator Conger, and not his dead brother
Frank, vice president of the American
Bridge company, who engineered the
alleged transaction.
Moe, however insisted he took his
orders from Frank Conger, and that
Senator Congers part began and end
ed with taking him to the capitol and
pointing out the men to whom he de-
liVered the money.
