PAIN GRIPS SENATOR
EARLY EVERY MORNING.
For Fourteen Years Mr.. Money
Has No Alarm Clock always
Stays Two Hours.

Senator Money, of Mississippi, the
minority leader, is easily the earliest
riser in the upper branch of Con-
gress. He does not hold this record
from choice but necessity. Neither
does he require an alarm clock to
shake him out of bed.
Every day in the year, precisely at
five o'clock in the morning, neuralgia
pains strike Senator Money in the
jaw and there is no more sleep for
him. He hops up, dictates his letters
and has his correspondence cleared
away by breakfast time.
The remarkable and agonizing fact
about Senator Moneys style of neu-
ralgia is that it has been visiting him
regularly at the same hour every
day fo: fourteen years. All sorts Of
prescriptions have been tried in vain
10 ward off the attacks, and all sorts
of drugs and rubs and shocks have
been resorted to for relief from the
pain while it lasts. In spite of all
the remedies and treatments Mr.. Neil
ralgia bobs up serenely every morn
ing at five and remains two hours,
and then departs as suddenly as he
arrives.
Finding that close attention to
work caused him to forget the pain.
the Senator got into the habit of
plunging into his correspondence as
soon as the neuralgia WIS felt.

INDIAN HOSPITALITY.

In 1852, when a body of United
States dragons were stationed at
Fort Laramie, the Sioux were much
dreaded nation, but that they were
capable of kindness and hospitality is
proved by this story, given by P. G.
Lowe, the author of Five Years a
Dragon"
ga couple of mules ran away one
night, dragging long lariats fastened
to picket-pins, and I started out after
them. 1t was early in the morning,
and I started without breakfast. AS
the morning dragged on 1 began to
feel the need of it. 1 grazed my horse
several times during the day, taking
off his saddle, giving him a drink at a
pool of water and doing all could to
save his strength.
Late in the afternoon 1 reached
the top of ridge, and looking down
could see a long river bottom. On
this was an Indian camp, extending
perhaps two miles along the river.
Great herds of horses were grazing
north of the camp. My journey
seemed to be ended. My mules were
probably with one of the Indian herds,
but how could l get them?
Suddenly my horse started, and in
an instant I realized that I was COM
pletely surrounded by twenty or more
mounted Indians. l tried to put on
an air of Indifference, showed the
trail of my mules and tried to beat
into their stolid heads the fact that l
wanted them.
"The braves pointed toward the
camp, and we started in that direction.
ARRIVING at headquarters the chief
saluted me and shook hands; numer-
Gus others did the same, and in re-
sponse to his pantomimic invitation
dismounted and entered his palace
A squaw took my horse away, and
then brought me soup and dried veni-
son. l had ridden all day without
food and had hardly realized how
hungry l was. The lodge was soon
vacated and l slept.
THE next morning the sun was
shining when l awoke. l went out

brought me more meat and soup. II

AMAN OF REAL COURAGE.

A MAN OF REAL COURAGE.
The horse dragging a street piano
along the main thoroughfare of
large New England city was so evi-
IDENTIFY Inadequate to his task that
people turned and looked at it. Some
laughed - it was funny sight to
them to see such a raw-boned. half
guady instrument, with fat man
tramping sturdily along beside it
but others looked serious. Something
ought to be done about it. The thing
was an outrage, and why did not the
police attend to it? But whether
they smiled Or frowned, nobody took
any definite action.
Two young men came along the
sidewalk together. They looked at
the spectacle in disgust, but were go
ing on their way like the others, when
one of them hesitated, and then
stopped abruptly.
"Why doesn't somebody get that
fat villains name, and have the So
ciety that looks after animals take
that beast away from him." he de-
manded sharply of his companion.
The other smiled.
"Why don't you?" he asked, per-
tinently.
"Well, Why don't II" The other
drew long breath. Because I'm
afraid of having the crowd call me a
'butter-in.' That's the trouble with
most of us. I wouldn't be afraid
to stand up in front of any
man in sight in an out-and-out fight;
and as for that man, either of us
could turn him over and spank him
without taking our coats off. But
we're all afraid of being considered
chicken-hearted."
Right you are, Billy" agreed his
companion. But l don't see just
what you're going to do about it."
What l am going to do about it, -
exclaimed Billy, sis to kick myself
across the street, and take the first
steps toward separating that man
from his horse! And I'm not going
to let myself care snap who sees me
doing it"
True to his determination, the
young man strobe across the street
and stopped the procession. A mo-
ment later, and little crowd of in
terested spectators concealed him
from his companion. The crowd
grew. Presently it attracted the at
tention of distant policeman, who
hurried up and forced his way into
it. There were signs of lively dis
cussion; then the crowd melted, and
Billy rejoined his companion.
''That horse" he remarked, tri-
umphantly, is now going to be hand
ed over to the society that takes
care of 'em. I felt like fool while
1 was doing it, but I'm glad I did it.. ~

Power of Growing Trees.

Those who wish to see the enor-
nous power of a growing tree can
do so by going to the north side OF
Albert street. Two trees that were
enclosed by the cement sidewalk
when it was built many years ago
have split the slabs into fragments by
huge cracks extending in several di-
rections.
The breaking tensile strength of
neat cement as used for the city is
500 pounds per square inch. With
the mixture as in the sidewalks an
expert estimated it would be about
16O pounds per square inch. There
are several of these cracks, so the
pressure must have been still more
than for one fracture. The trees aSe
a chestnut and soft maple. A point
worthy of note in this connection is
that when healthy trees are enclosed
by concrete walks space should he
left for expansion at least equal to
the average size of the fu,es growth
of the tree.-Ottawa Citizen.

What Every Frenchman Wants.

Thousands of five-franc pieces are
split into two halves by their French
owners every year, in the hope of
discovering" an immense hidden
treasure. This treasure, according to
the legend firmly believed, is an Or
der to pay the holder one hundred
thousand francs in silver five-franc
coins.
When Napoleon first set the five
franc piece in circulation it was very
difficult to induce a Frenchman to
receive the new coin. Hence, accord
ing to the story, Napoleon gave it to
be understood that he had ordered
a check for one hundred thousand
francs, written upon asbestos paper,
to be concealed in one of the new sill
yer pieces.
From that day to this no one has
objected to the fve-franc piece

Getting Rid of the News.

The rapid increase in the price OF
white paper has resulted in many et-
forts to utilize old newspapers and
other forms of printed white paper in
the making OF new paper. Up to date,
however, no practical commercial
process for removing the greasy
printers ink has been devised. The
Scientific American notes the filing re-
gently of a German patent, describing
a method for ridding old newspapers
of their ink. The paper pulp is treat
ed with peroxides of the alkalies and
alkaline earths. This breaks the grip
of the grease on the lampblack or
other pigment in the ink, and the two
are then easily removed from the pulp
by "emulsifying it with gelatinous
silica. - Tip" in the New York

THE LORD OF THE JUNGLE.


81 have seen a tiger, sitting up
hundred yards from me in the sun
light, washing his face like cat,
move couple of steps into the shade,
and fade away like the Cheshire cat
in Alice in Wonderland; but what
is more extraordinary is that he can
move without some dry leaf or stalk
cracking to betray him. says
writer in the London Times.
'tOften in beat in the middle of
the hot season the inexperienced
sportsman's heart is in his mouth as
he hears the crushing of dead leaf.
the slow, stealthy tread of what
seems some heavy animal; but it is
only 'moa, the peacock, the first
move ahead of the beaters. Then
after a period of strained watching,
when the eye can and does detect the
move of the tiniest bird, the culver
of leaf, suddenly, without sound.
the great beast stands before you.
HE does not always care to move
quietly, but when he does death is
not more silent.
''The question of how a white or
otherwise abnormally marked tiger
can take it's prey is simplified by the
fact that as a general rule the tiger
kills at night or at dawn or dusk,
and that it is only the cattle killing
tiger who takes his lordly toll of the
village cattle by day.
Again, that wonderful voice, the
most mournful sound in captivity,
which literally bushes the jungle and
fills the twilight with horror, is a
powerful aid to him in his hunting.
Often 1 have heard it. The memory
of one occasion is as vivid as the mo-
ment when it held me spellbound.
81 was stalking sambur in the eve
ming in a glade in the forest, when
suddenly, from not fifty yards above
me, rang out long, low, penetrating
moan which seemed to fill the jungle
witt a terrifying thrill, and for a
moment made the heart stand still.
"The native shikaree, who in spite
of Mowglic contempt may know
something of jungle ways, believes
that the deer, hearing the tigers
voice, and unable from the rever-
berating nature of the sound to locate
the position of their enemy, stand or
lie still, and so give him the chance
of stalking his prey.
''There is probably some truth in
this, for unless you are following the
tiger and have seen him, it is almost
| impossible from the sound alone to
tell with any certainty where he is. !"

EXCITING FISHING.

One can easily imagine that after
feeding for many weeks upon hippo
potamus steaks, the flesh of elephants
and other coarse food of that nature,
fish of almost any variety would form
an agreeable and pleasing change.
Such, at all events, was the opinion
of Sir Samuel Baker, who, after a
long march in Africa, through a wild
and dangerous country, arrived upon
the borders of a broad river. He took
his fishing rod, and wandering up the
stream, cast his line over the water
in the hope of enticing some beauty
of the deep to take issue with him.
1 put on a large bait, and threw
it about forty yards into the river,
we'll up the stream, and allowed the
float to sweep the water in a half
circle, thus taking the chance of diff
ferent distances from the shore.
For about half an hour nothing
moved. I was just preparing to alter
my position, when out rushed my
line, and striking hard, I believe
fixed the "old gentleman" himself,
for I had no control over him what
ever.
Holding him was out of the ques-
ton. The line flew through my hands
and cut them till the blood flowed,
and I was obliged to let the fish take
his own way.
This he did for about eighty yards,
when he suddenly stopped. This un-
expected halt was a great calamity,
for the reel overran itself, having no
check wheel, and the slack coils of
the line caught the handle just as he
rushed forward again, and with a
jerk that nearly pulled the rod from
my hands he was gone.
I found one of my large hooks
broken short off. The fish was a
monster.
After this bad luck I had no run
] until the evening, when, putting on
large bait and fishing at the tail of
rock between the stream and still
water, 1 once more had a grand rush,
and hooked a big one.
There was no rocks downstream
all was fair play and clear water, and
away he went at racing pace straight
| for the middle of the river. To check
the pace, l grasped the line with the
stuff of my loose trousers, and pressed
it between my fingers so as to act as
brake, and compel him to labor for
every yard; but he pulled like horse,
and nearly cut through the thick
cotton cloth, making straight running
for at least a hundred yards without
a halt.
I now put so severe strain upon
him that my strong bamboo bent
nearly double, and the fish presently
so far yielded to the pressure that !
could enforce his running in half
circles instead of straight away.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WE

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WE'LL.
One afternoon last summer my
cousin invited me to go for a short
trolley ride with her, as she had two
tickets for the ride. I accepted her
invitation, and in turn invited my
friend, Alice, to go, too. When the
car came along, we all got on, laugh
ing and chatting, as schoolgirls Will.
After a short time the conductor
came around for our fares. Marion,
my cousin, handed him her tickets,
and yet he stood there. Fare,
please" he remarked. 81 looked at
Marion and said, "You gave them to
him, didn't you?" and she replied,
Eyes, but he is waiting for Alice's."
ooh, yes!" 1 exclaimed, rather
shamefacedly, feeling for my pocket
book, which 1 couldn't find, and coll
seuuently becoming rather f1ustered,
for besides the girls and the con-
ductor, all the people in the car were
watching and beginning to smile.
At length 1 exclaimed: Il left
nv pocketbook up at Marion's! What
are we to do?" None of us had any
money, and we were some distance
from home. While these thoughts
were going on in my mind Alice
turned to the conductor, saying, IF
you will stop the car at the next cor
ner I'll get off," Of course couldn't t
let her do that, seeing it was my
blunder, and so we argued as to who
should get off.
At the next corner we both stood
| up, each one determined to get off,
but both of us were disappointed, for
the car didn't stop. After few more
| corners were passed and the car was
still going, we decided to rest COM
Portable and enjoy the ride. To our
Joy, moreover, my Aunt Bessie got
on the car when it stopped once, and
from her we secured the money nee
essary for poor Alice's fare, thus CIV
