Some Advice on How to Avoid Suffer.

Many persons cannot attend motion

DUMAS HAD HIS REVENGE.
He Found a Fine Prize For the Friend
who InsuIted Him.

Alexandra Dumas the elder, the
great novelist. had. as is well known,
some blacl. blood in his veins and was
Of an unforgiying if not almost cruel
nature.
In his earlier days Dumas received a
dire insult from whom he called
his friend. To the surprise Of all who
knew him. Alexandra took no apparent
notice of the wrong. but instead ap-
piled himself to looking carefully after
the welfare of his supposed friend.
He took with him into society. intro
duced him there. presented him there
and so continued for three years, at
the end Of which time he stood as
best man" at. his friends marriage.
The wedding feast being concluded.
Alexandra Dumas was leaving the
house when an acquaintance joined
him and as they walked along said:
II have often wished to say how !
have wondered at your great kindness
to NJ. ", whom We have just seen
married. You have the most forgiving
naturc that | have ever met with. He
insulted you grossly some years ago.

Inertia OF Bodies.

Lay a visiting card on the tip Of the
left forefinger and on 1t place a penny.
A quick flick Of the card with the right
second finger will remove the card
without disturbing the coin. Another
trick which illustrates the inertia Of
bodies IS to knock away the bottom of
a pile Of checkers without upsettiny
the pile. This is effected quite easily
with the help OF a fiat ruler. The re-
naming checkers are removed suc-
cessively by a number Of smart blows.
A more spectacular and apparently
risky trick consists Of drawing q news
paper away from under a glass filled
with water. Provided. however. that
the table is smooth and the paper be
pulled away smartly and horizontally
there is no danger OF the water being
spilled.

LARGEST AMERICAN CATS.
Jaguars Are Bigger but Less Fisroo
Than African leopards,

The jaguar. Or Eel tigre," as it is gen.
orally known throughout Spanish
America. is the largest and handsom-
est Of American cats. Its size and deep
yellow color, p%rofusely marked with
black spots and roSettes, give it a close
resemblance to the African leopard. 1t
is, however, a heavier and more pow
erful animal.
In parts Of the dense tropical forest
Of South America coal black jaguars
occur. and, while representing merely a
color phase, they are supposed to be
much tiercer than the ordinary animal.
Although so large and powerful, the
jagular has none of the truculent feroc-
ity of the African leopard. During
the years | spent in its country, mainly
in the open, l made careful inquiry
without hearing of a single case where
one had attacked human beings.
In one locality on the Pacific coast
of Guerrero l found that the harder
natives had an interesting method OF
hunting the tiger dnring the mating
period. At such times. the male has the
habit Of Il aving its lair near the head
of a small canyon in the foothills early
in the evening and following down the
canyon for some distance, at intervals
uttering a suhdued roar.
On moonlight nights at this time the
hunter places an expert native with a
short wooden trumpet near the mouth
of the canyon to initiate the tigers
call as 0 as it is heard and to re-
peat the cry at proper intervals. After
placing the caller the hunter aScenls
the canyon sereraI hundred yards and,
gun in hand, awaits the approach OF
the animal.
The natives tell many amusing tales
Of the sudden exit of untried hunters
when the approaching animal uneXpect-
eddy uttered its roar 1T close quarters.

PORK AND PORCELAIN.

ANTLDRAFT ORATOR
|SH|SSED IN HOUSE
Mr.. Mason Arouses Ire of
Hearers With a Sighting
Reference to President.
SENATE TO VOTE SATURDAY

In the midst of bitter denunciation
of the administrations selective mill
tary draft policy. Representative Ma
son of Illinois. known far and wide as
Senator Billy Mason" was hissed from
the galleries and from the floor of the
House today because of sighting ref
erence to President Wilson. Repre-
sentative Mason was extolIing the
valor OF Col. Theodore Roosevelt and
putting up to the House the fact that
the former Rough Rider had offered
division and that nothing had come of
it SO far. Representative Mason did
not mince his words. as he said:
The President Is afraid that while
Col. Roosevelt was studying democracy
in the old world he would raise hell
with the democracy of the new world
The newspapers say Col Roosevelt
made his application at the White
House and that it was referred to the
War Department. The application is
now probably sleeping somewhere in
the department. You all know Col
Roosevelt. Half the people love him
and half the people hate him.
Has Been Converted.
"A lot of people felt that if he went
to Europe the longer he stayed there
the better off this country would be
used to be in that number. but the
man in the White House has not the
courage or the political sagacity to
permit Col. Roosevelt to volunteer be-
cause that would spoil the plans for
the draft"
AS he said these words there was a
loud hiss from one corner of the public
galleries 1t was plainly audible in the
press gallery. and evidently it was au-
dible upon the floor of the House, foI
there also was a hiss from among the
membership of the House. However
Representative Mason was going at a
good clip and this expression of dis
pleasure did not stop him. for he kept
the administrations draft plan. al
though the remainder of his speech was
uneventful.
The Senate decided today by unani-
nous consent to vote on the bill before
Saturday night, and to allow only ten
minute speeches after l o'clock Satur-
day.
House leaders expect to close general
debate on the military bill tomorrow
and take the measure up under the five
minute rule. expecting to pass it. if
possible. late tomorrow night or Sat-
urday.
Mr.. Kahn Predicts Victory.
Representative Kahn, who is leading
the fight for the administrators Sc
lective draft. believes today that he
