Some Gossip Gathered From
The Gay American Metropolis

til the latter broke and jngled upon
the sidewalk. The store was closed at
the time and the action of the young
swell seemed to be prompted merely
by desire to find amusement. He was
arrested and taken to the> nearest po-
lice station, where he intimated that
he was the son of an English Lord
whose name, however. he would not di-
vulge. The police officials are of the
opinion that the young man is merely
"nutty," which. however, would by no
means preclude his being member
OF the English aristocracy. o.
The notions some people have con,
corning the duties of the police are
rather amusing at times. The other
day woman sent complaint to the
police department that somebody had
stolen her evening paper, for which
demanded that the detective force OF
the city be sent out to investigate the
case and to trace and arrest the thief
However, neither the detective force
nor the police reserves of the precinct
were sent out on the case.
An Italian girl had a serious quar-.
rel with her Italian beau the other
day. The case was really aggravating
and, according to Italian notions
called for the shedding of blood. The
girl had revolver, every chamber of
which was loaded. She pulled the
l h1r Il,
pointed the gun at her untrue lover
For moment. but only for a moment,
there was happy prospect that the
| Italian colony would be reduced by
one bad member. But it was not to
be. The man took to his heels and
the girl, pursuing him, began to shoot.
Unfortunately not one of the bullets
hit the sprinting miscreant, but when
the smoke had cleared away, three in
nocent passers-by who had been hit
by as many Of the bullets, were scat
tered along the road and had to be
taken to the hospital for repairs.
OF all the pupils graduated this
year from Public School 10. Broome

jamin Appicello. carried off the high
est honors. His general average was
close to 81. What makes the success
of the boy even more remarkable is
the face that he could speak but little
English when he entered the school
two years ago and that he complet-
ed the work of four years within less
than year and a half. 1t is the boy

A Tree That Grows Dishes.

There Is tree in the West Indies
that the natives say grows dishes.
1t looks like an apple tree They call
1t the calabash. Ii bears very queer
leaves and large white blossoms that
grow right from the trunk and larger
branches. After the flower comes the
fruit. just as our apples or peaches
do. But this fruit is in the shape of a
gourd. only stronger and very much
larger. sometimes a foot in diameter.
The she'll is SO hard that all sorts of
big and little dishes and drinking cups
can be carved out of it. Even pots
and kettles are made and used over
the fire. but of course they cannot last
as long as our metal oues.-London

The Little Man at tho Pillar,


Close TO the famous clock in the Ca.
thedral of StrasSburs there Is a little
man in stone gazing up at the angels
pillar which supports the south wing
Of the cathedral. Long ago the little
man who is now sculpsuyed in stone
stood there in flesh and blood. He used
to stare up at the pillar with n CRITICS
ing eye which swept ii from top to
bottom and again from bottom to top.
Then he would shake his head doubt
fully each time.
1t happened once that a sculptor
passed the cathedral and saw the lit
tie man looking up as if he did not like
the looks OF the pillar
1T seems to ne that you are finding
fault with tie pillar. my good fellow"
said the stonecutter. and the little
man nodded as if pleased to be found
out.
Speak ont. my man." said the sculp-
tor.
The pillar is fine enough" the lit
tie man said slowly The figures on
II are beautiful but fear that slender
pillar cannot hold up the heavy weight
much longer. Soon it will torter and
fall. and all will so to pieces"
An odd fancy seized the sfonecut-
ter You shall stay right where you
are always. gazing at the pillar until
1t falls under the heavy vault"
And he brought from his workshop
his BANNER and chisei and made in
stone a figure of the little man just
as he was. looking upward with a
knawing face e2a 80 important air.
