Clever Thieves Of Santiago.

The thieves of Santiago are per-
sons of extraordinary powers. They
have a curious way of dragging val
liable objects out of open windows
with long fish lines ending in a clus-
ter of enormous hooks. "They are
as clever with them," says Mrs.
Hugh Fraser in "reminiscences of
a Diplomatist's Wife," 'as a good
fisherman with a fly, and they can
empty a room in an incredibly short
time, as a woman who had incau-
'tiously left her baby asleep with the
window open in the twilight found
out. She was not away for more
than a quarter of an hour, but when
she returned she found the baby
bowling with the cold, its very
blankets taken and the room as bare
as a hand"

HonoluIu Shark Hunters.

Honolulu natives have no fear of
sharks and actually hunt them in
the water. They are unsurpassed
swimmers and divers, and with a
knife can dispatch almost any shark
if the water is deep enough to dive
beneath the fish. 1t is even report
ed that the natives have been known
to lasso sharks with a strong cord.
They carry down the moose and slip
it over the sharks tail. The upper
end of the cord is held in a boat
above, and at the first jerk the
shark is hauled up, tail foremost,
and then dispatched with knives
fastened on poles.

The Kimball Graphic and the Iro
quois Chief. two old state papers
which regularly appear on the Press
exchange table, have recently cele-
brated their 3lst and 25th anniver-
saries respectively. When the town
of Kimball is mentioned, it means
rlate Tinan's town, and Dick Halla
day-well. that name stands for Iro-
quois throughout the state. These
two able newspape:, men have grown
gray in the service, and their papers
and print shops are the success de
served by patient. conscientious eff
fort. Neither is published in a
county seat, but the future historian
will admit that they have put their
towns on the map ahead of many
more favored ones.

THE CASE OF BILL mccoy.
He Redeemed His Promise Almost at
the Cost of His Life.


The code of honor in force among
the boatmen of the Mississippi riv-
er in early days was rude, perhaps,
but strict, SO far as it went. There,
for instance, was the case of Bill
Mccoy, who fell into the clutches
Of the law eighty years ago. Brought
before one of the courts at Natchez,
he was committed to jail. The va
cation Of court vas just beginning,
md unless Mccoy could find a bonds
man in the sun Of $4,000 he must
swelter in jail throughout the long
summer months. AT the last mo-
ment Colonel W., a wealthy citizen
Of Natchez, came to the rescue and
agreed to pay $4,000 if Mccoy did
not present himself to stand trial in
the fall.
In vain the colonel's friends tried
to persuade him not to take the re-
sponsibility, even "the courts" adj
vice that he let the matter alone
was unheeded. Mccoy was released,
shouldered his rifle and in due time
reached his home in "0ld Kahn
tuck"
Months rolled on and the time of
the trial approached. Everywhere
the chances of McCoy's return we're
discussed. The colonel had not
heard from him since his departure.
The morning of the appointed
day came, but the prisoner did not
present himself. The court had
transacted its other business and
was on the point of adjourning
when Mccoy, his beard long and
matted, his hands SCARED and bleed
ing, rushed into the courtroom.
Colonel w. embraced him as if he
were a long lost brother, and eyes
unused to tears filled to oyeriowing
when Mccoy told his story.
Starting from Louisville as a
hand" on a flatboat, he found in a
few days that, owing to unexpected
delays, he could not reach Natchez
at the appointed time. No other
craft presented itself, and so Mccoy
abandoned the "fat" and, with the
aid of rough tools, shaped a ano
from the trunk of a fallen tree. He
rowed or padded his canoe with
only the briefest stops for food and
rest 1900 miles and redeemed his
promise almost at the expense of
his life.
His trial became a mere form.
His chivalrous conduct and the
want of any positive testimony won
for him a quick verdict Of "not
guilty" -Youth's Companion.

The ancient idea that all demo
Gratis were personal liberty" adj
~vocates, and liked their liquor, was
somewhat Jared by Secretary Bry
ans recent state dinner to foreign
diplomats. The strongest drink of
fered was grape juice, and foreign
papers refer to it as WHISKY washy",
and call the democratic adminlstra-
ton a grape juice administration"
This rather turns the joke on some
of our local democratic campalgners,
who in years gone by, were wont to
ridlcule some local republicans for
conducting what they called sour
apple and grape campaigns. If
William Jennings can reform both
the the tariff and his party's taste,
he IS sure some reformer.

Knocking Wood.

The habit that people have of
knocking IN wood, such as a table or
chair, was inherited from pagan an
cestors, who believed that little gray
gnomes lived in the earth and when
they wandered through forests long
ago gently tapped on the bark of
the trees for the good wishes of the
fairies to protect them from the
malice Of the gnomes. The rustling
