HAD COLD FEET AND C0RNS
Trouble That Made Mike, the Black Bear, Cry All Day Diagnosed
 by Park Policeman.

Mike, the black bear in the Gen. tral park menagerie, had cold feet, and as a result cried all day. His trouble was diagnosed by one of the park police who has pounded" the menagerie walks for number of years. In that time he has never missed in his prognostications.
 q tell you he's got cold feet. That's all there is to it." he said. "And his eorns hurt him, too. If you walked around on that concrete floor for all the years that Mike has you'd have corns also"
 Maybe he stepped on tack" the keeper suggested.
 "I should say not. If a bear ever stepped on a tack he would sit down and pull it out. That's a genuine case of cold feet and corns, believe me. What you want to do is to get that bear a hot brick right away"
 As there were no hot bricks avail- able, Mike had to roll up in some straw in his den to get relief from the cold flooring of his cage.-New York Tribune.

 Poodle.

Peter Jacobson, second mate of the steamship Amelia, leaned deject- edly over the side and refused to be comforted.
 "Yes," he said to inquirers, 'Iiz- zie is dead"
 Deep silence in the presence of grief.
 "She was tortoise-shell cat, with one ear chewed off," the mate ex- plained. 'She wasn't any beauty, I'll admit; neither was Rags, but they were the pride of the ship. Rags was black Spanish poodle-at least, he looked more like that than any, thing else He and Liz used to eat out of the same dish and play around on the deck like brothers. We'll, De cember 30, off Cape Hatteras-I can give you the date because the story is all down on the log-he and the cat were up forward trying to find out whether the captains Sunday socks would tear or not.
 "Along came wave that slammed up over the rail and right across the deck. Rags and Liz went right into the sea-"
 Then Peter looked into the dis tance and said nothing.
 Yep, Lizzie was dead.-New York Evening Post.

Chlffonnler Who Had Found Ills Lost Spoon.

A Paris chiffonnier makes living of sort, and he sometimes, in over hauling the dustbins, comes across a find. In this respect Paris contem- porary relates capital story of Vic tor Hugo. A little silver gilt sou- venir spoon, which the poet valued very much, disappeared. Through the carelessness of the maid servant It had found its way into the ash bucket, and in due course into the hands of the ohlffonnier who prao- ticed in the district.
 This worthy succeeded in getting the poet to awake from his reveries and to descend from the lofty heights of Olympus, in other words his study, to receive back the lost spoon. Huge was delighted to get back his souvenir. The author of "Herna1i" was never prodigal, so he rewarded tho chiffonnier by presenting him with . copy of his 'Ges Chansons des Rues ct des Sois," saying , "There, my man, you will find in it as much gold as is contained in any Jewel case in the world" d."-London Globe.

GRAND SPECTACULAR FEATURES
Numerous ThriIIers Have Been Pro- vided for State Fair Visitors.


 Negotiations are under way for a fireworks spectacular show at night during the State Fair surpassing in grandeur and thrilling effect anything ever seen in the state. It will repro duce in all its realistic effects the battle of Juarez in Mexico and the fall of that stronghold in the recent Mexican war. A scene of the city, gorgeously painted on canvas more than 200 feet in length. and wonder fully true to the original. will appear before the grandstand, with soldiers, senoritas and Greaser civilians ming ling in festivities just before the bat tie. Then suddenly all becomes ac- tivity, the attack is on and the fire and roar of conflict rages in fury, with the roar of cannon and musket- ry. the charging of troops, the bom- bardment of the Bull Ring, the blow ing up of the magazine and culminat- ing in the fall of the fortress. More than two hundred people perform in this great show, which requires about one hour for each exhibition. This Is immediately followed by resplend- ent modern display of fireworks nev- CT excelled in magnificence.
 In addition to these, special day programs of public educational and convention character will accupy the morning of each day. The speed de- partment this year promises to far exceed all former occasions, with many of the best horses in harness and in running races in the state and the country at large on the track. In all respects, the State Fair this year will be a great event, and worth ten times the expense of attending and seeing. The railroads will give one fare round trip rate. Write the sec retary of the fair for catalog and lit- erature.

the city streets this afternoon, after
Roachford had shot and probably ia

assault with intent to murder.
The Harvard men were eating their
luncheon in Memorial hall when they
heard four shots in rapid succession
from the walters quarters. They
stampeded out of the dining hall and
catching a glimpse of the fleeing
waiter gave chase.
Passers-by joined in and the police
were notified by telephone. Three Of
ficers appeared at Harvard and Dana
streets just as Roachford, with the
crowd almost upon his heels, came
dashing down the street. They poun-
ced upon the negro, who willingly
gave himself up. While waiting for
the partol wagon, the policemen had
hard work in keeping the mob back.
The wounded man will probably die.

de Leon ball park Thursday afternoon
by giving several of the New York
Nationals a near licking. Involved
in the row was Manager McGraw,
Christy Mathewson, Chief Meyers,

grew out of remarks hurled at the
players the day before by Brewster.
The latter was practcing with the At

to demonstrate with the rooter.
While they were talking, Mathew
son, it is claimed, grabbed Brewster
from behind, and the latter by a quick
twist sent Mathewson over his head
to sprawl full length on the ground

get a stiff blow in the face Other

broke into the fracas and Brewster
was getting good drubbing when
some of the Atlanta players made
their appearance with bats in their
hands. The trouble then quickly sub
