Easy to Collect a Crowd.

Two men were sitting ut the Cosmos
club the other day discussing the time
worn statement that the easiest thing
In the world to do was to attract a
crowd without any apparent effort.
One OF the men insisted that the old
saying was merely a tradition, and
that such thing could not happen
in this day of progressive ideas, that
people were too busy, too intent upon
making money to waste time on the
street In idle curiosity. A small
wager was made and the two repaired
to q point just below the 81 street
entrance Of the club. Taking their
positions on the curb, they looked
steadfastly for a minute or two at the
third door window of a large build
ing nearby, and In less than ten min
utes q crowd Of 80 or 90 people had
gathered and speculation ran riot az
to just what was the trouble In this
particular building.-Washington Star.

There is no doubt that many citi-
Gems have often wondered why 1t Ii
that the large gasoline tanks that
carry their supply down to filing sta
tions always have chain dragging
from the rear with six INCHES or
more touching the ground. Many, per-
haps, have thought 1t was due to the
carelessness Of the driver, but one Of
the mahouts that pilot these eie-
phantine carriers told me the other
day that the chain was placed in that
position so that IL the tank should
be struck by lightning the bolt would
follow the chain to the ground and
that in 80 cases out Of 100 there
would be no explosion of gasoline

Clever Mice.

Clever Mice.
Mice are getting smarter, asserts q
suburban housewife, who is trying to
rid her home of the unwelcome guests.
Ordinary traps are OF little avail, and
she finds herself outmaneuvered In
every engagement. First, she baited
with butter. In the morning she found
the trap licked clean and unsprung.
Then she placed piece of fried bacon
In position, confidently expecting to
find captured mouse. But the next
morning the bacon was gone and no
mouse remained behind. In despera.
tion she again baited with piece OF
bacon and tied it securely to the plat
form OF the patent snare. The next
morning she found the trap lying up
side down, but there was no victim
under the spring, and the bait was
gone. She declares the mouse, seeing
the bait tied, deliberately sprang the
trap By upsetting 1t, and then ate the
bait.

TELLS story Of Progress. In Arts.

Should all other evidences of civili-
zation be destroyed and only the fur
niture Of the ages be left intact, with
reasonable accuracy still could be
traced mans progress since that OBJ
scure age when he is said to have
dwelt In caves or roamed the fields or
the forests. The study OF furniture
is, In measure, the study of mans
progress in war, peace, religion, art,
politics, handicraft and commerce. Or,
taken as whole, nearly every step
he has taken In the march Of endeav-
or toward present-day times In which
he has distinguished himself.
