A story is related of the great
De Lesseps, by NJ. de LANCE, who
was a schoolmate of his, that in his
boyhood he had a vision of the Med
iterranean and the Red sea joined by
a canal. The story goes that when
at school 'the two were studying the
map of Egypt together. Lesseps all
at once said, pointing to the strip
of land that divided the Mediterra-
mean from the Red sea. what q
pity that little stretch of land keeps
the waters of the one sea from flow.

out his pocket-knife, he struck the
blade through the map, saying
'There is a canal, the waters car
now flow from one sea to the other

do it one day, and you, LANCE, shall

A Polish bridal pair were over.

their wedding at the church Of
Czianzen, near Wreschen, Poland
The party was in merry mood, and
driving at furious speed when
their conveyance crashed into mile
stone at a division of the road. All
the occupants of the vehicle were
flung out, and four, including those
who were to have been made man
and wife, were killed on the spot.
Others sustained fractures of arms
and legs. The only person who es-
capped unscathed was the driver, tc

Carl wished that he could do a like
service for her, but he felt power
less.
lie looked up and down his own
car, hoping to see the friendly blue
coat Of police officer, but his search
was unrewarded. But on the oppo-
site seat a dark-eyed man intercepted
his glance, winked meaningly at him
and slowly, and without apparent
motive, opened his coat to abstract
some papers from an inner pocket
and displayed the flash Of a star on
his breast.
That the man was a detective
Carl had 10 doubt. Then the train
began to move slowly ahead, leav-
ing the local standing on the tracks.
Suddenly it drew into a station
and stopped short. Carl reached the
door as soon as the detective, who
had beckoned to the pickpocket to
follow him.
The detective was grasping the
pickpocket by one arm and the man
was standing passively there, know
ing that he had bungled has job. The
detective beckoned to a policeman,
turned the man over to his tempo
rary care and then, listening to
Carl's account of the theft he had
witnessed in the local train, they
waited for that delayed train to draw
into the station.
Carl was on the alert for the man
whose face he had remembered with
singular vividness. The detective
was watching at another door.
The man followed closely behind
the Brown Girl and they had no
trouble in apprehending him.
While the detective detained the
pickpocket, Carl addressed the
Brown Girl and related the incident
of the gold purse.

feeble physically, there was an all

what attracted the attention of the

"Say, mister" said the tramp,

The old man looked him over and

TOT ORDERED EVENING MEAL
Used Telephone to Remind nBlII" Not

The wife of well-known local
business man, who has his home at
Wauwatosa, telephones to her hus-
band every afternoon and reminds
him not to forget to bring home
meat for the evening meal.
Her four-year-old son always sits
beside her, listening to his mother
repeat the usual words "Hello, Bill,
now don't forget to bring home the
roast for dinner tonight"
The tot had memorized the phrase,
so he began to ponder to himself
why he should not phone to his ia
Their also.
The other day he took up the re-
ceiver Of the telephone and told the
central girl that he wanted to talk
to Bill. Recognizing the number Of
the call, the operator Immediately

TRAIN THREE YEARS LATE.

"A train which left Bolivar in
South America for a neighboring
town three years ago has just ar
rived, says Harper's Weekly. The
distance covered was 1870 kilometers,
and the reason for the delay was a
storm which derailed the train,
killed most of the passengers and
ripped up such a goodly portion Of
the railroad line that the company
owning it was forced into bank
ruptcy. About six months ago an
American engineer undertook the
reconstruction of the road and
brought the long delayed train to
the point for which it originally
started.

sUFFocATED ON LIME KILN.

A gruesome discovery was made
at the limekilns at Kilhead, near
Amman, Dumfriesshire, Scotland,
not long ago when the charred re-
mains of a man were found on the
top Of a kiln. At this time Of the
year many tramps seek shelter and
warmth at the kilns during the
night time. On the kilns being light
ed in the morning the flames had
apparently been blown in the direc-
ton in which the man was lying,
and he must first of all have been
suffocated by the flames and then
burned.
