When the Tramp Fled.

Senator William Salisbury Of Della.
ware remarked the other night that
foxy schemes do not always work out,
and told a story to back the assertion.
Two men were having fraternal
talk recently, and during the gabfest
one Of them told Of his experience
with tramp.
HE came to my house." said the
man, banged on the kitchen door
walked in and demanded something to
eat. Right there decided to give him
the scare Of his life. Going into the
next room liberated the alarm clock
in pretending to call up the police sta.
tion and told the imaginary man al
the other end of the imaginary wire tc
hurry an officer down to arrest q
tramp. When l returned to the
kitchen the hobo was gone"
He was gone, eh?" laughed the
other, who in fancy could see the
tramp beating 1t down the alley.
"Yes," replied the first, gone with
two of my coats, one hat and enough
silverware that was lying around loose
to start quick-lunch restaurant"

NEW PAPER CURRENCY SOON
Smaller Size and Uniform Design
Waits Action of Congress.

Very shortly the people of the Unit
ed States will witness great revolu-
tion in the size and appearance of
their currency, says Bank Notes.
Each one of the two billion notes of
that kind now in circulation will be
supplemented by uniform pieces of
currency about three-quarters of the
size of that in present use.
The change in size is not the only
one. Any note with Washington's
portrait on it will be dollar; with
Jefferson's, two dollars; with Lin
coins, five dollars; with Grover
Cleveland's ten dollars; with Alexand-
er Hamilton's, twenty dollars, and SO
on.
This plan will render the raising of
bills by crooks an impossibility, and
we will have the safest and simplest
system Of national currency in the
world.
The new currency will contribute
largely to the convenience of the pub
lie, and will also effect large saving
in the cost of its production.
Work has been halted on this new
size money, Secretary McAdoo being
very favorably inclined to the change,
but thinks it best to let congress dis
pose of currency legislation before
changing the issue, as new Legislation
might make new issues necessary to
conform to new laws. The new issues,
when they have replaced the two bill
lion odd notes now in circulation, will
sound the doom of the counterfeiter,
for standard design can be photo
graphed mentally and counterfeits
easily detected.

HAY KICKS LIFTED ON HIGH
Remarkable Phenomenon That 10 Said
to Have Been Witnessed by
Party Of Scotsmen.

A strange phenomenon, said to have
been seen by party Of people walk
ing on the Strathblane road, close to
the Glasgow Corporations Mugdock re-
servoir, Milngavie, Is reported with
all seriousness and circumstance by
the Glasgow (Scotland) Herald.
They Witnessed" say the Herald,
the remarkable sight Of a rick Of
hay, weighing some hundredweights,
rising in the air in front of them.
When 1t had reached a certain al
titude the stack burst, and the hay
was blown in all directions. There
was nothing in the atmospherical con-
ditions or on the spot to indicate the
reason for the strange happening"
Noticing an account of the incident
In the Glasgow Evening Times, Mr..
John McLuckie. manager Of Conderigg
colliery, Larkhall, writes to that paper
describing similar incident in a hay
field adjacent to the colliery office.
The farmer, Mr. Struthers, Alexander
Kidd, and others were standing at the
smithy door about lis p. m. The
heat was very great at the time and
there was no wind. Strange to say,
without any visible warning a coil of
hay was suddenly taken up into the
air in whirling manner to height
of probably 400 feet or thereby. Just
when 1t seemed to be at it's greatest
height it began to spread out in the
air and fell to the ground.
Since that date have on two occa--
sions witnessed similar phenomena,
not with hay, but with dust which was
heaped on the roadside, and which
was suddenly whirled into the air in a
body, Notwithstanding that there was
no wind at the time The cloud of dust
remained combined until 1t reached a
height of 80 or 40 feet 1t then spread
out somewhat suddenly and fell to the
ground. All these incidents happened
about one o'clock in the day, when
the heat was great. The hay lifted
in the air would weigh several hun
dredweights."

Strange Ways to Solve Problems.

Men have strange devices for quick
ening thought. Novelists and writers
Of plays have used little figures which
they have moved about hither and yon.
Not few great public men have gone
a-fishing. An incident has recently
been reported of man who solved his
problems by going away entirely alone
in his yacht. 1t was related as fact
that on one of these lonely excursions
he thought out how to get possession
of railroad. The way was peculiar.
He bought a necklace for a rather
fabulous sum and presented it to a
young woman about to marry his
nephew, somewhat roundabout way
to get railroad, it would seem, but
it was in this way that he got it.
