professor Of physics is so great a mis-
anthrope that he deliberately announc-
es his lectures for the days when he has
reason to think that his students will

their presence on an election day once
and drove them nearly wild by deliver
ing q tedious essay on will power;
IF he wills 1t a man may accom-
plish anything" he droned. Let him
make up his mind not to die and he
will live in spite Of disease; let him
decide that life is not worth living
and he will drop peacefully out of 1t.

has not triumphed over everything"
Up shot the reprobate Of the class, q
youth beloved by all his companions
for his daring humor.
Sir, I accept your challenge. You
are wrong" he said.
Pray mention an example," retort-

with pleasure, sir. An hour ago

brought to a speedy conclusion. I've
willed the same thing sixty times
since, but up to now it hacn't come OF. y
Nor will It," replied the professor,
"for 1 have not only willed that this
lecture should last another hour, but
am perfectly willing that it should do
so." And IL did.

fraught with peril ashore and afioat,
but space will not allow more than the
briefest mention of some of the most
dramatic experiences Of Dynamite
Johnny.
While running blockade in that ia
nous filibustering vessel, the Three
Friends. Dynamite Johnny came very
near provoking war between Spain and
the United States. The Three Friends
was being pursued by Spanish gun
boat, and the latter was rapidly over
hauling the filibuster. To say nothing
Of the risk Of capture, and the inevi-
table "line-up against the WALL" there
was the immediate danger Of being
blown into atoms should Spanish
shell strike the illuminate of mercury
primers or dynamite cartridges which
comprised substantial part Of their
cargo.
On board the Three Friends was a

Walsh, formerly gunner in the Unit
ed States navy-a delectable combl-
nation indeed. Walsh pleaded to be al
lowed to take shot at the pursuing
craft.

him. Fire as quick and as often as
you like!"
GLORY be! There'll be burials at
seal" shouted the delighted ex-gunner.
But Mike Walsh fired only one shot.
It was enough. Said Captain Johnny,
In telling Of the shot: Had Mike spent
a thousand years in the navy, and fred
a Hotchkiss for eight hours day, he
would never make prettier shot than
that one. The shell struck the Spaniard
right In the center Of her deckhouse
and exploded with terrific force. The
pilot house was torn away, putting the
steering gear out of commission, and
the whole forward part Of the ship was
wrecked. Through one Of our under
ground lines of Communication we
learned later that thirteen men had
been killed outright and dozen others
more or less seriously injured. At any
rate, the explosion Of the shell was fol-
lowed by lot Of screaming"
And Mikes one shot saved the day,
for it enabled the Three Friends to
show clean heels to the uninjured, less
speedy pursuers.-New York Tele-

as the prince who acted it.-Polybius,
Antiochus Sidetes king of Syria, was
prince estimable for many excellent

he detested fattery. One day, hav-
ing lost himself a hunting and being
alone, he rode up to the cottage OF a
poor family, who received him in the
best manner they could, without
himself turned the conversation
upon the character and conduct
Of the king, they said that he was
in everything else good prince, but
that his too great passion for hunting
made him neglect the affairs Of his
kingdom, and repose too much conf
dence in his courtiers, whose actions
did not always correspond with the
goodness Of his intentions. Antiochus
made no answer at that time. The
next day, upon the arrival Of his train
at this cottage, he was known. He
repeated to his attendants what had
passed the evening before, and told
them by the way Of reproach, Since

Southampton, accompanied by his
courtiers, who offered him the gross

his power was more than human, he
ordered chair to be placed at the
beach while the tide was coming In.
Sitting down with majestic air, he
thus addressed himself to the sea:
Thou sea, art a part OF my domin-
ions, and the land whereon sit Is
mine; no one ever broke my COM
mand with impunity: therefore
charge thee to come no further on
my land, and not presume to wet
either my feet or my robe, who am
thy sovereign" But the sea, rolling
on as before, and without any re-
spect, aot only wet the skirts Of his
robe, but likewise splashed the
thighs. On which he rose up sud-
denly and addressed himself to his
attendants, upbraided them with their
ridiculous fiattery, and very judici-
ously expatiated on the narrow and
limited power of the greatest mon

A Poet in Prison.-The good old

and brigandage is becoming an ever

The last Of the Sicilian bandits"-
perhaps a disputed title-was lately
laid by the heels and is now facing the
ordeal Of his trial at Aquilla.
Most visitors to that delightful is
land will have heard of his name and
not a few have come into close and
scarcely pleasant contact with him. He
Is Giuseppe Salomone. Do not picture
him as a typical brigand; he is a dan
dy and has always paid particular at
tention to his clothes. He has an ex-
pensive taste in perfumes and in
gloves. And he is a poet. His time in
prison has been spent in writing a
poetic drama Of his life's experiences
and he has written good deal of COM

made q fortune in brigandage, so he

near the beginning meant that some.

was going on. Even Mineral Point
eight miles from Johnstown, although
bad curve, lost some Of its terrors In
the anxiety to get on, and the special
struck 1t with trifie more speed than
1t could stand.
The rails groaned under the strain,
the spikes stirred uneasily in their
wooden beds, and then, with q pull,
they came out and the engine began
pounding the ties.
When it first went of 1t was going
SO fast, the crew say, that 1t did not
swerve into the ditch, but tore up SOC
feet Of track before it careened and
began tearing out the telegraph poles
The train happened to be filled with
rather well-known people that night,
and for many hours .run1ors Of q ter
rife loss Of life went out, and q last
ing impression was given that there
had been frightful catastrophe. In
fact, no one on the whole train re-
ceived more than severe jolting, al
though three cars were badly smashed.
The escape had been SO miraculous
that shudder went through the
whole company. The three smashed
cars. although extremely expensive
and not broken beyond repair, were
piled up beside the track and burned.
On March 4 the Pittsburgh Filler
was taking Altoona at its usual gait Of
80 miles an hour when the conclusion

shocked a carload Of dynamite into
activity.
It began as the first baggage car was
passing, as near as could be gauged.
Some Of the crew insist that 1t was
abreast Of the engine, others maintain
that the train had passed half way,
but the fact that the windows were
all knocked out Of the forward smoker
tells its own story.
However, 1t does not do to start an
argument on the subject In certain
quarters. It was not one terrific de-
tonation, but series Of half q dozen,
each louder and more destructive than
the one before. The train was In full
swing. and there would not have been
any sense in stopping, but as each car
passed 1t caught broadside that
smashed every window, practically
tore the framework out from floor to
roof. snapped of the steps, and wreck

1t did not leave the rails and not q
passenger was seriously injured.
That whole era Of the first six
months Of 1907 has left q deep i'm
preston on the Pennsylvania's men.
Many Of them firmly believe that they
were protected from the wrath. and
some Of the occurrences surely point
to that conclusion.
