"Let Her Go, Gallagher"

Judge Beaver of Morgan county, Ky, had a trotting mare of which he was very proud. The animal was always driven at the race meets by a man named Gallagher, who was at that time city marshal of Harrodsburg. On one occasion the judge entered his mare at a trott1ng meeting in Tipton county. Some sports there, knowing of the judges pride in the animal, thought they would lower his colors for once, so they entered against her a noted fast trotter At the end of the first half mile the two trotters passed under the wire neck and neck at a 2:4O pace, and the judge grew wildly excited. 'Let her go, Gallagher! Let her go!' he shouted. And Gallagher, hearing, loos- ened the lines. The mare pluckily re- sponded and finished more than a dozen

Patti's Hiqh Charaes.

Adelina Patti at all periods in her long and unexampled career receive ed by far the largest honorarium of any singer in the world. At no time did she obtain less than $4.OOO a night, while on her last tour, when her won derful voice was waning, she was paid $5,O0O a night for singing two songs and two encores. Patti also received percentage of the gross receipts when these were in excess of $7,OOO a night. And on the night of Nov. 9, 1904, at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, she achieved the record of singing to not only the largest audience ever re- corded for a concert in America, but her fee on that occasion was $S,2O0, by far the largest sum ever paid to any singer or player for one performance in the worlds history.-New York World.

Function of the Eyebrows.

The eyebrows protect the eye from external violence. The hairs, on ac- count of their oblique direction, pre- vent the precipitation from flowing to- ward or irritating the surface of that organ; they direct it toward the tenn pie and the root of the nose. The color and number of hairs of the eye brow have an influence upon their use. They generally have some relation to the climate. The eyebrows protect the eye from excess of light particularly when it comes from above. This eff feet is made more conspicuous by knitting of the brows.

Handy Life Insurance Policy.

A curious festival takes place annu- ally in the village of Isobe, in the southern province of Japan, the Wide World says. The festivity is called the Omita and attracts large crowds from the neighboring districts. The young men, stripping off their clothing, take their positions in a rice field, where they struggle violently with one another for possession of a decorated bamboo pole. The man who succeeds in pulling the pole down promptly cuts it into pieces, which he distributes among his less fortunate competitors retaining a portion for himself. It is believed that if any one meets with 8 storm out at sea he can easily save himself from watery grave by simply throwing portion of this pole into the sea. With handy life insurance policy of this kind to be obtained at the price of a little effort, it can be understood that the struggle for the pole is a distinctly strenuous one.

Japan's Curious Museum.

The oldest museum in the world may be found in the city of Nara, the former capital of Japan. Since it's foundation, in 756, it has gone through all the changes of the Japanese empire without one single addition to it's col lection. pr. Otto Kummel is one of the few Europeans who were per mitted to visit this museum. It opens it's doors but once year, on a day in spring, when a special committee in- spects the collection, and a new list is made out. The museum contains about 5000 articles, which are said to be the most beautiful specimens of decorative work which have ever been produced by human hand, such as lacquer ware decorative furniture, enamel ware, cambric-like fabric, etc. The origin of the majority of the articles is uncer- tain. Some came from China and oth- CTS from Korea, but most of them ap- pear to be of a more exotic origin. All however, came of a time prior to the year 756

Riqht-Try ItI

Get up right in the morning. Go tc bed right at night. Start with joy in your heart, hope in the future, kind ness in your purpose.
 If it is a dark day, never mind; you will tighten it up. If it is a bright day you will add to the brightness. Give a word of cheer, a kindly greeting and Q warm handshake to your friends.
 If you have enemies, look up, pass them by, forget and try to forgive.
 If all of us would only think how much of human happiness is made by ourselves there would be less of hu- man misery.
 If all of us would bear in mind that happiness is from within and not from without there would be a wellspring of joy in every heart and the sun would shine forever.

Both Peary and Amundsen made al- lowances in determining the site of the poIess Their position is not perfectly constant, there being a counter lock el- liptical movement of some thirty feet and a counter clock circular movement of some twenty-six feet in diameter in a period of 42S days at the extreme axis of the earth. This change, how ever, is so slight as not to be reckoned in practical calculations. Peary and Amundsen made no guesses, but took several observations from various standpoints to determine conclusively that they had reached the poles Christian Herald.

Dining Room cranks,

/ The waiter became talkative after he had answered a question and among other things said: Don't go to the funny ward at Bellevue if you want to study cranks. Get a job as waiter. The man who just went out is a steady. He's all right except for cof- fee and bread. He must have his cof- fee boiling hot, and he always puts a lump of ice in it. He has always paid for special hot bread. He gets a small loaf, cuts it in two, removes all the crumb part from one half and eats the crust Fhe other half he leaves untouched. I have a regular who puts salt and pepper on his grapefruit, and"- ''He could be talking yet,'' said the man who related the story, Eff I hadn't told him that I was a crank on being served quickly."-New York Tribune.

A Curious Case.

Tn 1888 Janos Meryessi, who was eighty-four years old, jumped off the suspension bridge at Budapest into the Danube. He was rescued and then explained that he wished to end his life, as he was becoming too decrepit to support his father and mother. This statement. proved to be true, Nerves sis parents being aged 115 and no re- spectively, and a public subscription was organized to set all three above want.

his part of the contract to fulfil. Be sides, the farmer was watching. With the scythe in his hands he advanced cautiously toward the battle array of iron weeds in the fence corner and made three or four half hearted sWipes at them.
 Then he rested the hated blade on the ground and called to the farmer.

Brevfty, says Rowland Grey in the Century, was the soul of Sir W. S. Gi1berts wit, which sparkled in chance conversation no less than in the lines that he wrote for Sullivan's operas. Mir Grey gives q few instances:
