Several prominent literary men Of
Paris recently conceived the idea Of
making investigations among the beg
CARS on the boulevards, by Disgusting
themselves as members of the begging
fraternity and soliciting aims. They
succeeded beyond their utmost expec-
tations, both in discovering fraud in
cases OF counterfeit cripples and blind
men, and by the liberal fees which
they themselves received. A good
story is told of a number of these bo-
gus beggars calling upon the Due
d'AumaIe, with appeals for relief, to
each one of whom the duke gave five
francs. At last, however, a genuine
beggar appeared, to whom the duke
said: q have relieved about twenty
mendicants Of letters today, and l
recognized them all, in spite Of their
rags; but don't know you; you must
be a bogus literary man. Get out!"

A TooL-cHEsT AND A TooL-RAcK

If you received an outfit Of tools for
Christmas, or few as the start OF an
outfit, one of the first things you
should do is provide receptacle for
them-unless they came in a chest or
cabinet.
A chest is very simple to make. A
grocery-box or small packing-case
about % inches long, IA inches wide
and 10 inches deep may be used, and
one may be procured at the grocery
or dry-goods store for 10 or 10
cents. Select a box that Is in good
condition, and go over it and renal
all boards that show signs OF loosen
ing; also drive in a few extra nails
as additional reinforcement.
The chest shown in Figs. and 2
has a dropleaf in front, which makes
it a big improvement over the COM
mon form of solid front, because you
can reach down under the tray and
get a tool in the bottom of the chest
without having to remove the tray.
One of the side boards OF the box
should be removed for the drop-leaf,

OLD TABLOID RECORDS FOUND
Tablets in Babylon-ShoW In
VentIons of Centuries Ago.

We think we are a great people"
said the retired army officer, taking
off his glasses, land we feel that we
are progressing at tremendous
pace, but here's a newspaper account
saying that the French government
has unearthed in Babylonia $4,000 tab
lets, giving history in full of the
reign of the ancient kings. Here we
find for the first time that Babylon,
and not Rome, was the real Mother
of Law IN those days there was a
system of courts and of appeals that
even suggested a recall. Sir, this re-
port also states that during the days
af Nebuchadnezzar they had a free
rural delivery of mail over every high
way in the kingdom. And, shades of
Grover Clevelandi-it has also been
proved beyond doubt that the Egyp-
tian government in $500 B. C. had a

What shocked the doughty old
American most of all was the informa-

fected by Edison in the nineteenth

TO WIN BALL GAMES
MANAGER Must Be Game, Says
Tinker of Reds.
Leader of Cincinnati Team Can't See
Any Reason for crabby Plotting
Good viii of Players Nee
essary to Succeed.

"To win bali games said Joe
Tinker. "a manager must be a dead
game fighter.
IF a bit of yellow shows above
his collar button, it's all over-hls
chance has gone a-glimmering. NC
Graw and Chance are game men, al

I say a fighter don't mean
man who nags and barks at UNI
hires. / mean a leader who isn't
afraid of the other team; who isn't
afraid of the percentage that may
be against him-and who ism
afraid of his own men, either.
"A game pitcher is the man VINO
can see the big slugger coming up
with the bases damned, and say:
Maybe this guy is a hitter, but he
hasn't hit it yet-and he isn't going
to hit this one A game batter is
the boy who sees the fast one COM
ing through and grins as he steps
forward, instead Of pulling back.
And a game manager is one who
doesn't curl up and play dead when
they are killing his pitcher, or when
the infeId is throwing crazy, or his
men can't seem to bat a half-size
single. That's the McGraw and
Chance pattern, and that pattern is
the one that wins"
And-Joe might have added-the
successful leader is the man who
is not only game, but whose players
are ready to follow him clear
through because they are with him
heart and hand. Hank O'Day was
a game man. He had shown that
in all the years of his umpiring.
Henry was a brave man and man
whom not a soul could bluf-but
Henry couldn't win his players.
It's all in the fiber and the bone.

little fash to tell thing or two

light for half a moment on the

nvsters Are aCreeners.D

The recent case in which a New
York judge was called upon to decide
whether a turtle is an animal or a
reptile. reminds one that even Frank
auckland was puzzled when asked a
somewhat similar question by DR..
Nathan Adler. father and predecessor
of the late chief rabbi.
DR.. Adler wanted to know whether
Jews might lawfully eat oysters.
auckland had to consult Dean Stanley
as to the Interpretation of the Mosaic
law, and together they pondered the
question, DO oysters creep" Eventu-
ally this was answered in the aftiTma-
tive, and oysters have since been
classed as forbidden food by the ortho-
dox Jew.-New York Sun.

VIriIe Basque Language.

It is said that though the Basque
language, which is spoken in the Ply
renees, is one of the most difficult OF
all languages to acquire, the youngest
child, conscious of his own thought,
can express himself perfectly in 1t. 1t
is averred that, in vigor and word
painting, this is the richest of all Ian
guages. This may be partly due to
the fact that nouns, pronouns, and adj
jectives change into verbs at will, and
verbs may be transformed into nouns
and adjectives. Every part of speech.
and even the letters Of the alphabet,
can be declined like nouns, and adj
jectives are corrugated like verbs

he wants to see me let him come
to the hotel"
And just the other day they told
Joe Tinker that a noted man was
coming to town. ''Will you go to
the station, Mr.. Tinker? Will you
help receive him when he comes ~
You bet l will came the smiling
answer. What time does his train
get in?"
A good man and game man, too,
was Hank O'Day-but the iron
mask of the umpire had clamped
its hands too many seasons on his
square. hard-chiseled face and held
back the speech of human courtesy.
Too many seasons Hank O'Day had
stood out there in the open, casting
the grim scowl upon the players,
turning them back with sullen glare
and sharp, short, singing words.
He couldn't soften-he couldn't win
his players if he strove for years.
And now comes Joe Tinker with
the ready tact and CHEEKY smile
with the courtesy that moderates
the keenest sting, with the diplo-
matte speech that cheers them on
and leads them up and upward. He
knows baseball from the practiced
years of keen experience. So, per
chance, did Hank O'Day-but Tink-
er knows how to say a thing and
ODay could never say it without a
grating on the ear and a rasping on
the soul!

ELEPHANTS HARC TO PLEASE
They Have Delicate Tastes and Cam
not Be Easily Deceived in
Their Eating.

Since the elephants digestive func-
lions are very rapid, 1t requires large
amount of fodder daily-about 500
pounds in most cases. In it's wild state
the elephant feeds heartily but waste
fully. It is careful in selecting the few
forest trees that it likes for their bark
or foliage, but it will tear down
branches and leaves half Of them I'M
touched. It will strip of the bark
from other trees and throw away
large portion.
AS it is a nocturnal animal, it Sc
1ects its trees by the senses Of touch
and smell, says HarpeT's Weekly. It's
sense of smell is said to be so delicate
that a wild elephant can wind an enc
my at a distance of l 1000 yards, and
the nerves of its trunk are SO sensitive
that the smallest substance can be
discovered and picked up by its tiny
proboscis.
An elephants palate is very deli
cate and the animal is whisical in Sc
lecting or rejecting morsels of food.
A writer tells of an incident humor-
ously illustrative of the whims OF
tame elephant belonging to the police
of Dhurrbri.
This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains. The stems of the plantains
were split and cut into transverse
sections two feet in length. Three
quarters of a pound of rice was placed
within each tube of plantain stem.
One day while the elephant was being
fed some one offered 1t a small sweet
biscuit 1t was taken in the trunk and
almost Immediately thrown on the
ground.
The mahout, thinking that the ele-
plant had behaved rudely, picked up
the biscuit and inserted it in a parcel
OF rice within a plantain stem. This
was placed in the beasts's mouth and
at the very first crunch it showed its
disgust by refusing the whole mess.
The small biscuit had Disguised the
animal and for several minutes it tried
by its inserted trunk to rake out every
atom from its tongue and throat.
