got ready for the utter routing of MT. Freeman, who would be made en- tirely ridiculous in the eyes of the lovely Miss Chase, while the clever MT Dean, quite unsuspected of in trigue, would reap the reward of Miss Chase's smiles
 Whats new with youY' inquired his crony, Bob Waters. as they walked home together one night.
 Jefferson Dean winked a handsome black eye and whistled atrily.
 Something big doing. eh?" persisted Bob
 Well, you'd never guess in a month of Sundays" returned Jefferson.
 No use trying, thenT
 You know Sam Freeman2"
 ''Sure'
 Noticed anything peculiar about him Iatelyw
 Mir Waters thought labOriously and shook his head.
 He's in love-" !, "Whew, that's so! forgot Alice Chase, but I thought you were. ahem. No there"
 MT Dean threw out his chest and spoke confidently: "I am No. there, and that's where the joke comes In See?''
 Bob didn't see, but his intellect tried to pierce the veil of mystery. Sure thing. Going to put up job on your self this time? Good joke. What?"
 Not on your life, Bobby! How's this? Sam's all gone on Alice. and she's-er-well, spoken for by me. It's all over but the asking. Yes. sir. there Isn't another girl ike her! Sam doesn't get much encouragement. He's a din- dent beggar. and If he should get a; nttis note. from Alice saying that she had received his proposal of marriage and her answer, was. Yes why. he'd go wild between joy and surprise"
 Hum! Where does the joke come in?" inquired Bob soberIy. -
 "Why, don't you see. it's on him when he calls on Alice and finds that, he's been fooled?'4 s44 se?ssta
 "Yes, but Miss Chase-would she lend herself to anything like thatT asked Bob doubtfully.
 
 ''She won't know anything about it until poor Sam springs their engage, ment upon her. It will be rather a joke on her too. Of course shall write the note," he added.
 "I didn't suppose Alice Chase would appreciate that kind of joke," com- mented Bob Waters, little coldly.
 My boy. she has q keen sense of humor. wouldn't marry any other. kind of woman Why, I've even known her to laugh at your jokes, old man," he ended wickedly. But Bob Waters did not hide his disapprOval of the cruel joke. 'I say, Jeff, it's tough ons Freeman, you know" he protested as they parted. He's mighty fine fellow, and he's hard hit in that direction. As you're the lucky one, you ought to spare him."
 But Jefferson Dean was in high good humor with himself. He sclapped his friend on the shoulder and laugh

HIS MOST ANXIOUS MOMENT.
When Dewey Feared He Might Be

When Dewey reared TIC mI9nT nc
 Branded as a Coward.
 Admiral Dewey tells in his autobi ngraphy the story of his most anxious moment It was when he was execu tive officer of the warship Mississippi After passing the forts at New Orleans his ship was about to sink under fire, and the crew had to be taken off in boats There were not enough boats and the danger of a magazine expiO sion became so great that the crews showed increasing hesitation in return ing for another load On q sudden i'm pulse Dewey jumped into one of the boats to go after the rOwers and com pei them to return He continues
 Not until we were free of the ship did have second thought in realiza ton of what I had done. l had left my ship in distress when 1t is the rule that the last man to leave her should be the captain. and l as executive off ger should be next to the last
 "That was the most anxious moment of my career What if a shot should sink the boatf What if a rife bullet should get me2 All the world would say that had been guilty of about as craven an act as can be placed at the door of an officer This would not be pleasant reading for my father up in Vermont He would no longer think that l had done the rest reasonably well If the ship should blow up while l was away and should appear on the reports as saved probably ppo nle would smile over my explanation
 As it turned out. however. the maga zine did not explode. and Dewpy's presence was needed to bring the boat crews back and save the men still on the sinking ship.

BIG CATS AND CATNIP.
Leopard and Tiger Fairly Revslsd In
 the Odorous Plant.

Leopard and Tiger FaIrty HeNeIed ln
 the Odorous Plant.
 Some cue at the Washington zoOlOg- icul park obtained the permission of the authorities to try the effect of cat nip un the animals there. So far as known catnip does not grow in the native homes of these animals, and this was the first time they had ever Smelled it
 The scent of the plant filled the whoIe place, and as sOoD as 1t reached the parrots corner the two gaudily at tired macaws set up note that told fearfully on the nerves of all and made for that side of their cage. polk ing their beaks and claws through 1t. When the ratnip was brought near them they became nearly frantic. They were given some and devoured 1t, stem. leaf and blossom. with an eagerneSs that eIualed the noise Of their cries
 Next trial was made on an African leopnrd Before the keepers had reach ed the front of the cage he had bound ed from the shelf whereon he lay, ap parently asleep. and stood expectant, A double handful of catnip was passed through to she floor of the den.
 Never was the prey of this spotted African in his wild state bounced upon more savagely or with such absO Iute enjoyment First the leopard ate a mouthful of the stuff. then lay lat on his back and wiggled through the green mass until his black spotted vel low hide was filled with the odor, just as you have sen a cat act when it re ceives some catnip.
 Then he sat on a bunch of the cat nip. caught a leaf laden stem up in either paw and rubbed his cheeks, chin. nose. eyes and head He ate an additional mouthful or two and then Jumped back to his shelf. where he lay the rest of the afternoon. the very picture of contentment
 In one tigers cage there is a very young but full grown animal When this great, surly beast inhaled the first sniff of the catnip he began to new like kitten. Up to this time the soft est note of his voice had been one which put the roar of the big named lion near him to shame
 That vicious tiger fairly reveled iD the liberal allowance of the plant which was thrust into his cage. He rolled about in it and played like six weeks-old kitten He mewed and purred, tossed it about. ate of 1t and after getting about as liberal dose as the leoEard had. likewise jumped tO his shelf and hlinked laZilV the rest of the day.-New York Herald

: The . Boomerang The Result of a Practical
 Joke
By cLARIssA MAcKIE

Jefferson Dean was fond of practical jokes. On the Fourth of July he eX- ploded bombs under the windows of timid old ladies and April gave to trusting juveniles packages of chocO- lates filled with red pepper. At any to shower confetti and rice upon strong minded spinsters and confirmed old bachelors, to their mutual exas- peration and the delight of their friends.
 Naturally, the 1st of April was Jef- ferson Deans especial holiday. For days beforehand his brain was busy devising new schemes to trick his friends. and it was generally noticed that when that day arrived his ac- QuaintanceS gave him wide berth and were seldom at home if he hap pened to call. He spent many dollars upon fake tefegrams and the sending of express packages which proved to be hollow mockeries of crumpled news papers and sawdust,
 But this particular year Jefferson Dean had been unable to celebrate the 1st of April in the manner beloved by this feather bra1ned young man. An attack of measles had confined him to his bed.
 The glorious Fourth was celebrated in his usual manner, but that lost 1st of April still ranked in the mind of Jefferson Dean.
 Perhaps the fact that MT. Dean was in love with pretty Alice Chase had something to do with his unsettled mind. The germ of his joke had to do with his love affair. and it's develop ment was meant to result in the utter routing of his hated rival Sam Free man, grave eyed young lawyer.
 If he waited until the next All Fools day many months would have elapsed, and it was too good q joke (on Sam Freeman) to be wasted. Why next year would be too late. for Jefferson Dean rather expected to be married to Alice by that time.
 So at last be decided to perpetrate the joke quite regardless of the season. and he carefully laid his plans and

TINY MEN AND WOMEN.


 Exhibited In England.
 Of dwarfs exhibited in England the most celebrated was the Pole. Borul- waski. who was born in l739 and died in 1887. At six he measured seventeen inches and finally, in his thirtieth year. sreached thirty-nine inches. He had sister shorter than himself by head and shoulders. BorulWaSki travelled all over Europe. and now lies buried at Durham.
 " In the year of his death his success: sOr, Char.es Stratton. known to fame as General Tom Thumb" was born. When twenty five he was thirty-one inches high. ."-.:~. ;.
 In 1S44 he appeared in England and had an .extraordinary success. After extensive travel in both hemispheres the general again visited England in 1857, but the dwarf man, in spite of many personal and intellectual quail, ties. was less attractive than the dwarf boy.

And they who walk in darkness meet
