that you are putting up the old-time

COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed Some
thing of Bargain, but 1t Turned
Out Happily.

George A. Birmingham, the widely
known writer, says there Is no coun-
try in the world where marriage, at
least in the peasant class, is more a
matter of bargaining, and yet shows a
higher average of stability and con-
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number Of pounds, sows, or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled.
This Is illustrated in personal recol-
lections just published by an Irish
woman. She was visiting with an
aunt a cottage in the neighborhood,
and admired fine mahogany chest OF
drawers.
"Twas for that l was married"
said the mistress of the cottage. A
young farmer had also seen and ad-
mired. A bargain was struck. There
was no money, but the bride was to
have a couple of sheep, yearling
bullock and the chest. The prudent
young man measured 1t, and then
turned and asked:
"An' which O thin little girls lie it,"
She was the oldest unmarried
mkt the doore," as the phrase was.
"An so wint," she said, "and was
happy ever afterwards. Tit Bits.

Moving Freight Car On Fire.

A remarkable fire broke out on a
Scotch express while travelling from
Hellifield to Manchester the other
day, the outbreak being due, it Is
stated, to spark from the engine.
The express was passing through
the Brownhill cutting, situated be-
tween Wiltshire end Blackburn, when
it was discovered that the fish wagon
in the center of the train was alight.
An alarm was raised, the train pulled
up, and the officials were soon able
to subdue the fire. Large quantities
of kippers and other fish, in a partial
ly cooked state, were thrown out on
the embankment, and attracted the
attention Of the public. who secured
the better portion and conveyed 1t
home. The fish wagon was quickly
uncoupled and shunted on to a siding,
and the train resumed its journey af.

Good Advice for Sentry.

General Sheridan was once halted

the proper salutation: Who goes

man. Woodward gave him to under

Gen. Sheridan; that he wanted the
countersign. and he brought his bay

Dyelnq.

The practice of dyeing is so ancient
that it would be folly to attempt to say
where or when it originated. The
place or period Of its genesis no one
can tell. or even guess. AS far back
as history or tradition can take US we
find the dyeing vat. Phoenicia was
famous for it's rich dyes, as was Egypt
also. Modern chemistry does not
seem to add much to the efficacy of
the art. The colors of the most
ancient times of which we have any
knowledge were as fast" as any that
can be made to-day. In fact, 1t is held
by some authorities that the men of
four or five thousand years ago pos
sessed secrets about dyeing that
would be greatly appreciated by US II
we could get hold of them.

st. Louis Millionaire Shoots House,
breaker After Carefully Noting
How the Robber Worked.

st. Louis, Mo.-Thomas B. Gerhart,
millionaire president of local real
estate company, lying awake at 2
o'clock the other morning, heard the
clicking of the latch on a dining room
window at his home, 1909 West
minister place, court set apart by
rich st. Louisans. He got revolver
and went to the head of big double
stairway, which gives access to the
FIRST floor. There he saw man with
an electric fashlight moving silently
about the floor.
For half. an hour Gerhart watched
the man, who he saw was negro,
collecting clothing, jewelry and other
valuables. Then the prowler started
up the rear stairs. Gerhart waited
until he was less than six yards away
and fired twice.
The first bullet went wild, made a
complete circle overhead by being de-
1ected three times, struck Gerhart in
the back of the head and fell to the
floor. At the second shot the negro
doubled up in pain, staggered down
the stair and ran out rear door he
had opened.
Gerhart followed, but the negro es-
capped. An hour later James Howard,
a negro, twenty-three years old. living
on Lucas avenue, was found desper-
stely wounded and arrested. He con-

Animal In Texas Battled With Loco

only one round. and when the knock
cut had been administered the steer
leaped into the corral from which he
had escaped and calmly submitted to
be lassped and led away to the death
chamber.
The steer was one of many which
arrived at the Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger plant In Communipaw, from
Texas. He was big and black and
did not like the surroundings, so he
leaped lightly over the fence and
found himself on the rails Of the
Central railroad of New Jersey con-
fronting Tony Arelia.
Arelia is a switchman, and at the
moment was waving a large red flag.
Everybody knows what bulls think OF
red flags and Tony lost no time In

his chance the engine driver opened
the throttle, but instead of whirlin2
about in the air the animal made one
circle and landed fiat on his feet, like
an anvil in the sand, with his horns
still locked.
Then with snort which made the
putting of the engine sound like the I
strings of jewsharp he gave
mighty push and lifted the trucks o.
the engine off the rails. This done, he
raised his head, winked at the engine

exception is the lofty water tank,

In locating the drives, the architect

Of the park, and disfigure it as little
