C0ULTER'S QUEER STORY.
u Was Thought He Had Discovered

At gathering in Milwaukee a well
known minister was called on to tell "a
story. and this is what he told:
Did you ever hear Of COulter's hell?
! or the two men lost 10y the great
/ Lewis and Clark expedition of 1903 on
its long journey through the northwest

was captured by Indians. who stripped
him and set him to running the gauntlet.

free and armed. Wandering toward
the southeast. he presently found him

tains gushed hundreds of feet in the
air, volcanoes of black mud vomited at
him. bubbling fountains of snow white
mud gushed around. with others of
crimson and blue and green. A noun
tain of pure sulphur crystals rose on
one hand, and from beside a stream
rose another composed of black glass
almost as clear as window pane.
AT last. escaping from the place. he
was found by some trappers. who
clothed him and took him to st. Louis.
where they reported him as one whose
mind had been wrecked by his expert
ences. Wherever he told of the fright

seen men roared with mirth at the
yarn and made him tell and retell it
till within few years it went all over
the west as an example of the effect
Of the horrors of being lost on the hui
man mind. 1t was commonly known
as the story of Coulters hell and I'M
der that name it frequently appeared
in the eastern papers in the early thir-
ties and forties. Coulter himself final

SCARED THE LION.
Bravery and Daring Displayed by a
African Woman.

Bravery and Daring Displayed by ar
African Woman.
In Hunting the Elephant In Africa
the author. Captain e. ii. Stigand. in
telling some lion stories. admits that
there is certain thrill in connection
with the king of the jungle. The So
malls say that lion makes you jump
three times-first. when you hear him
roar; secondly, when you unexpectedly
meet his spoOr. and thirdly. when you
first sight him. They say that even a
bold man is thus frightened three
times by lion. but after the sudden
shock Of seeing him is over he Is no
longer afraid. And in this connection
he tells us good story Of female hero
ism:
"At village near Fort Mangoche,
also in Nyasaland. man was sitting
one night at the door of his hut drum.
ming while his wife was cooking food
inside. The hut was an isolated one,
being several hundred yards from the
rest of the village.
Suddenly the woman heard the man
call out, "A lion has got me- She took
burning fagot from the fire. ran out
and smacked the lion in the face. The
astonished animal let go. and she drag
ged her husband into the hut and
hastily put up the poles which form
the door. The man died few min
utes after. and the woman sat there
with the dead body.
Presently the lion returned and
scratched gently on the door, This he
repeated several times till it got on the
woman's nerves. At last she could
stand it no longer. so she took another
fagot from the fire, unbarred the door
and fed to the village, leaving the
dead man. The lion then walked into
the hut and took him."

GETTING on THE STAGE.
Dangers That ecset New Eggs In the
Vaudeville Basket.

The most amazing thing to n theat
rical marager is the utter lack Of com
prehensio1 on the part of applicants
of what professional work really means
When was writing vaudeville
sketches | used to get letters FROM
young fellows in country towns who
wanted 10 20 into vaudeville. For some
unaccountable reason they figured out
that that was the easiest way to break
into the entertainment business As Il
matter Of fact. they were choosing the
very toughest end of ii ALL In vnudc-
Vile there is no stage manager to tell
one what to do and how to do 1t. lie
must rely entirely upon himself.
Furthermore. he must do his own book.
ing. get his own transfer agent to take
care of his baggage. negotiate his own
railroadiug and even pack his own
properties. In fact. he has n thousand
and one troubles to divert his mind
from his proper business. 1t never
seems to dawn upon the aspirant that
it's much better to get into great or.
ganization. where there's somebody to
attend to every problem for him and
where he has a chance to learn the
details of stagecraft.
A clever vaudeville man. to begin
with, must have good act. and II he
be unknown he must know how to talk
his act TO the managers. If he EN-
ploys an agent he is at disadvantage.

management of the theaters. Further

Der that he comes out on to the stage

attention. The eyes of the people are
centered on him. He must do it all. 1t

the world to succeed at, unless one is
very talented. George NJ Conan, in

How We Got the Gas Jet.

Possibly very few people know that
we owe the ordinary gas jet to the ac-
cidental use of wOman's thimble.
After the dinner of the British Com
mercial Gas association Professor Wv
ian Lewes told how Clegg of Redruth
used to burn the iIluminant straight
from the open pipe and turn it off by
plugging the pipe with some clay.
Upon one occasion his lump of clay
was missing, and. picking up his wife's
thimble. he put this on top of the pipe
Much to his surprise, the gas escaped
through small holes which had been
worn by the constant use of the needle.
small burning jets of gas resulting.
From this Professor Lewes traced the
evolution Of the gas jet. - London

WATCHES THE CLOUDS.
ons New Workers. Easy and We'll

There IL one man In New York who
would seem TO hold an easy and unique
Sob. From Jan to Dec. ~ he puts In
his whole time watching for clouds
from the top of one of the fullest sky
scrapers. He does nothing else. Is well
paid II he performs his duty vigilantly
and has no one to boss or hustle him
around-exccpt the clouds. For tools
be works with telescope. and he can
smoke. read poetry or do what he
pleases. provided he keeps his weather
eye keenly peeled for the first sign Of
O storm cloud sweeping down the Hud.
son. On that rests his whole job for

ping it would mean Il serious strain on
the leading electric light and power
company.
In no other city but New York do
conditions make for such n contingent
cy Owing to the compact construction
OF the huge blocks of downtown sky
scrapers an enormous amount of cleo
trio light is suddenly demanded Wien
ever the sky becomes darkened. Thou
sands Of bulbs are simuta ncously
switched on. At nightfall this need
for light is easily calculated. but no
certain provision can be made against
the sudden overshadow of storm
cloud other than Ivy sta tioning look

Consequently when he sees cloud
sweeping down the Hudson or advanc-
fnp from any other direction IL is his
business to watch its approach care
fully.
Therein he must use bit of judy
ment If it is likely to sweep clear of
the city he need not bother about 1t.
But should he reckon it will pass over
Manhattan it is his business to tele-
phone the chief power station a warn
ing that a storm cloud is coming. At
once a red light glows in the engine
room. and the stokers hustle to shovel
coal into the furnaces. Presently the
huge generators revOlve at greater
speed to supply the emergency demand
for electricity. Thus when the thou
sands Of lights are switched on down

sudden call for light has been met.

Canine Etiquette.

In their relations one with another
dogs have a keen sense Of etiquette.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even touch one another.
For one dog to step over another is a
dangerous breach of etiquette unless
they are special friends. 1t is no un-
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live in the
same house and yet never take the
slightest notice of each other. We
have a spaniel so dignified that he will
never permit another member of the
dog family TO pillow his head upon
him, but with the egotism of true
aristocrat he does not hesitate to make
use of the other dogs for that purpose.

NERVE IN BASEBALL.
Result Of a Wild Throw to Third With
the Bases Full.

Charley Doom. one of the famous
catchers Of the National league, tells a
story to the effect that after a brief
trial with the St. Paul club in 1880
Charles 4. COmiskey, then its manager
advised him to return to the tailoring
business and stick to it.
| Another yarn concerning Doom tells
how little later on and when he was
still little more than a youth and
weighing in the neighborhOod of rs
pounds, he wished himselfsupon Man
ager McKibben Of the St Joseph club
When Doom reported Mac walked
around him twice and then announced
that he wanted a catcher and not
jockey. Injuries to regulars. however.
gave the boy his chance. and he was
sent in to backstOp for big Jim"
Wigs.
In his first game Doom wanted to
prove that In addition to being a
catcher he was some thrOwer. When
he heaved to second the baseman
would have needed a ladder to get the
ball; to third his pegs were low. and
his shoots to first nearly took the
sacker Off his feet. After his wild
throws had filed the bases in one in
ming he threw to third again to catch
a runner off the cushion. The ball
went so high the left fielder almost
got to it on the fly, while everybody
came home"
When the inning was over Doom had
four errors charged against him. and
he walked 10 the clubhouse and began
TO pack up his clothes. McKibben
stopped him. saying his nerve in dar-
ing to throw to third to catch a man
off with the bases full, caused by his
previous bad throws. deserved another
chance. Doom stuck and caught al
most every game that season. His
next jump was to the Phillies, and his
reputation was made.-Ed A. Goewey

Course Of the Panama Canal.

There is somewhat popular delu-
sion about the Panama canal-to wit,
that the course from Colon, on the
Caribbean or Atlantic side of the 18TH
4 Dus, to Panama, on the Pacific side, Is
8frow east to west. OF course the At
1Antc is at the east and the Pacific is
IT the west, but the isthmus Is very
crooked and at this point tends from a
little south Of west to north of east.
and Colon is actually farther west
than Panama. AS a result the canal
runs from north-nOrthwest to south
southeast, and on reaching the Pacific
one finds himself farther east than he
was when he left the Atlantic. Queer,
ISN'T it, to go westward by going east
ward? But it's geographical fact, all
the same, which few realize until they
study the map.-New York Tribune.

No Canes For Actors.

There is one profession that has al
ways refralned from carrying walk
ing stick. The actor knows well that
on the stage he must walk without ex-
trapeOus support, and he knows that
the mere hint of walking stick in his
