THE LITTLE BROWN MEN.
COPYRIGHT ~fttcluee SEuoeepe~ Syro,cATtNd

Did you ever hear of the little Brown Men who live in the rocks and stones in the woods and come out when the moon is shining?
 They have pointed brown boards and bright shiny eyes and wear little brown caps, short brown Jackets and trousers and high brown boots
 They are very small and can easily hide under the leaves or the ground.
 One day Fritz and Hans were going through the woods kicking the leaves as they walked, when all at once a voice said: Take care, you almost kicked my nose!" Both boys jumped, and right in front of them was little Brown Man, holding his hand over his nose.
 You should be more careful" he said. You might hurt someone kick ing along in that way"
 "We beg your pardon, I am sure,~ said Hans, "but we did not know you were there. I should think you would be afraid someone would step on you, you are so near the color of the leaves"
 'lf you keep in the path you will not step on us," said the little man.
 Are there more like you?" asked the boy.
 "Oh, yes, indeed" he answered. We live inside the rocks, but sometimes we sleep outside. This is the time we sleep and at night, when the moon is shining, we come out.'
 q should think you would be afraid of the wild animals said Fritz.
 "They would not bother us," replied the little man. We would not make even a good bite for them"
 Do you see many?" asked Hans.
 "Yes; we see lions and bears and tigers"
 Wish we could see some," said Hans. '1 should like to shoot bear and have his skin to put in front of the

SAVE WILLIAM PEhN.s CHAIRS
. -I-l National Helrlooms, About to Fall Apart, Have Been Repaired
 by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that once belonged to William Penn have just been repaired by two women who have never. seen the chairs, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The two women are inmates of the Pennsylvania In- dustrial Home for Blind Women. The chairs are preserved in the east room of Independence hall. on the second floor. Year by year the cane bottoms of the famous old relics have been gradually cracking and falling out The committee in charge decided that unless the cane was replaced the woodwork might soon collapse But they did not dare to let the chairs be taken out of Congress hall.
 So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis- tress of handicraft at the Industrial Home for Blind Women, and she brought with her to the room two of the blind women who understood chair repairing. The work was peculiarly difficult, for it was impossible to erect in Congress hall the caning table need ed to hold the chairs firmly in place, and, moreover, their woodwork was soft with age. But the delft seeing fingers" of the blind women did the work in spite of all the difficulties, and now the precious William Penn chairs are safe.

fire this winter. then we could lie on 1t and read by the firelight."
 "Why don't you shoot one?" asked the little man
 We have never seen one." replied the boys.
 "Well, come in here some night and will show you some Have you a gun?"
 We could take fathers; he has two. When can we come?" they asked, eagerly.
 Tomorrow night. said the little man. '1 will meet you here.',
 If you could have a tiger, too" said Fritz, q would be very much obliged. I should like to have a tigers skin"
 q will do my best" said the little man.
 The next night the boys were there with their guns, and the little man told them they must be very quiet, for it was time for the little Brown Men to come out Just then the rock on which Fritz was standing seemed to move, and he jumped up. The rock opened and out hopped a dozen or more little Brown Men. Then all the rocks and stones opened, and out they came from all sorts of places, under the leaves, out of the trees, and the woods seemed filled with them. They all gathered around the boys, some of them climbed over them, and some went into their pockets, and the boys felt very uncomfortable, but their little friend said the little men were just curious, and not to mind they soon would leave After a while the moon came out, lighting up the woods like day, and the boys could see the little Brown Men running over rocks in all directions, but their friend stayed by them.
 When shall we see the animals?" asked Fritz
 "The others have gone to find them" replied the little man.
 The boys could feel their hearts beating, for now they were really to see wild animal; they began to won- der if they could shoot one
 "How do you get into the rocks?" asked Hans.
 ''We have three magic words which open them"
 What are they?" asked Fritz. Are you allowed to tell?"
 ''We do not tell everybody" said the little Brown Man, "but I'll tell you; they are, Su Ot Nepo."
 Just then the little men returned and told them two bears were coming

strong leather strap into which three brass hooks are riveted This stray is designed to be fastened around the tent pole or small tree in the vicin. ity. by means of the buckle. Clothing or regimentals can then be hung on the hooks. Another advantage in hanging clothing up instead of letting 1t lie around on the tent floor or ground, is the comparative safety achieved from insects that so often crawl into garments carelessly tossed aside. Used by soldiers, it keeps their
 clothing in good shape for inspection.

WITNESS HAD NO 5 ANUING
Defendants Unqualified Condemnation of Man Prepared to Testify
 Against Him.

A correspondent of the New York Sun recalls the case of the 'Rev. James Johnson of New Jersey, who was indicted years ago as the chief of a band of chicken thieves that had plundered the farmers near New Brunswick. The testimony was some thing like this:
 "Now, MT. Johnson, these chickens, a. evidence shows. were found in your possession. Did you steal them?"
 'No, sah I got 'em from one of nah fr'en's."
 Did you know where he got the chickens?"
 q didn't ask him, sah."
 Did you believe them to be law fully his to give?"
 "I didn't ask no questions, sah. jus tuck 'em'' .
 What did you do with them?"
 "I sold 'em to the market man."
 What did you do with the money?"
 'I kept some and divided the rest with nah fr'en's."
 "Now, MT. Johnson, be truthful. Did you, or did you not, believe these chickens to be honestly yours?"
 Sure knowed they wasn't mine. I jes' tuck 'em.'
 And you used them to benefit your self, by passing them on to other people?"
 "Yes, sah. They was very good chickens"
 ''Now, MT. Johnson, here is a wit ness who says these chickens belong to him, and proves that they were stolen from his farm, at night. by men in your employ. What have you to say to that?"
 Witness (pointing)-Is that the man over there?
 "Yes."
 Dunno him at all. He don belong to our. conference! He's an onregen- crate sinner, an he ought to go to helll"

The bears soon came in sight, growing and looking very fierce CT do not think l care about a bearskin after all, whispered Hans. Fritz had dropped his gun and was looking for way to escape
 Their hair seemed to stand up straight. q wish this rock would open he said
 Let us try it," said Hans, for one bear was quite near them now ''Su Ot Nepo," said Hans, and the rock sep arated. The boys did not stop to look, but stepped in, and it closed At first they could not see, 1t was so dark, but soon their eyes became used to the darkness, and they could see a path leading under the rock. ''Well, 1 do not care for any more hunting,'' said Hans; ''the pictures have seen of bears were not so savage looking as those bears"
 What am thinking of," said Fritz, ''is how to get out of this place Su Ot Nepo gets you in, but we did not ask how to get out" They walked along the path and came to little waterfall They cooled their hands and faces and then walked over lit tie bridge which was over a river in which they could see number of fish.
 
 "Let us go fishing" said Hans. and when they reached the bank of the river they found poles which had been left there by someone. Suddenly somebody said, "I am going to arrest you for fishing in our river,'' and be side them stood little Brown Mar jumped up and the little man ran; then he stopped and looked them My" he said, "are you giants?" The boys laughed and told him they were only boys, and that their father wa, much larger, and he was not giant Then they told him how they hap pened to be there, and asked how they could get out
 :s'Why, the same way you came in,' he replied. "Su Ot Nepo gets you il or out" The boys thought they hat been very stupid. eff you are no going to arrest us,' said Fritz, "w. will go back, and if the bears are gone we will go home"
 "No," said the little policeman, |" cannot arrest such giants as you are.'
 The boys were soon at the rock again, and spoke the magic words, "Sr Ot Nepo," and the rock opened They looked around, but the bears were no in sight, so they picked up their guns which were by the rock, and started for home. The moon was still shining and they looked for the little Browr friend, but they did not see him ol any of the Brown Men. They went into the house very quietly and were soon in bed and asleep.
 The next morning Hans said: I would like to see the little Brown Mar again. wouldn't you. Fritz?"
 'Yes," replied Fritz, "but I should not want him to think he must have wild animals for us every time we set him, would you?"
 'No." said Hans, "but we can asl for monkeys next time."

 CONDEMNED TO HANG.

Phoenix, Ariz. May Ex-Governor Hunts last effort 10 save the lives of the ike Mexicaus condemned to die tomorrow at Florence was based upon message today from Secre- tary Bryan, who suggested that their execution might endanger the lives and property of Americans still re- siding in the territory controlled by the Mexican chieftain, General Villa, The governor sent the telegram to both the legislature and the state board of pardons.
 Adding his own comment that the situation was fraught with unfortu- nate possibilities for Americans in northern Mexico. Governor Hunt de- clared that General Francisco Villas request to the American state depart- ment that mercy be shown the con demned Mexcans was worthy of con sideration and he also recommended that all possible deference be accord ed the wishes of the honorable sec retary of state"
 The vote was the senate's answer 10 numerous pleas of mercy, one of which was made by William Jennings Bryan, secretary of state, on the ground that the execution might ad- versely affect American interests in Mexico. Secretary Bryan actetd ac- corning to report, at the request of Genera Villa and thp senate in adopting a resolution reiteratng ap- proval of the course taken by the board of )ardons and paroles declared that the suggestions of the secretary of state and the requests of Villa and of Governor Hume were not in ac- cord with either the spirit or etter of the law"
