EXPERIMENT IN DETECTION.
(1m Crowing Policeman Isu Wise as Sol
, omen AVhui Mecuary.
The policeman who maintains life
aud order at the meeting of two down
town streets must; be possessed of con
siderable judgment . He mast know
when to make it bole in the wall, so to
speak, throaghjthe mass of vehicles and
let a portion of the surging humanity
go "through. He must know how to
io several things at once to at the
same time chat pleasantly with a lady
friend of his, tell a woman from the
suburbs where the streets she's on is
and poll a couple of old gentlemen from
the jaws of cable oars, and, what is
more surprising, most of the down town
force can do this, and, what is truly as
tonishing, nearly all do it in a gentle
manly manner and keep their tempers
WelL
It is not infrequently that an officer
is found who can do all this tand more
too. At one of the most prominent cross
streets there is a policeman who is a
close sed to the caliph that decided
the ownership of an infant in his own
highly original way. Among many in
stances where his acumen has played a
particular part is one that happened a
day or so ago, It concerned a bicycle.
The latter was left by its rider against
the curb. A few minutes later a young
man approached it. The policeman in
question had not seen the owner get off
the machine, but he thought the new
comer looked a trifle suspicions. The
chain and sprocket wheel of the bicycle
had been secured together by a padlock.
When the young man in question began
to carry the wheel off instead of unlock
ing it he felt it was about time to act.
"Do you own that bicycle?" be said
to the young man."
"Yes," was the reply.
"Where's your key, then?" was hit
next
"I've lost it" That settled it.
"Say, now," continued the police
man, "will you give me your name and
address?"
The young man seemingly did not
want to muko any trouble. He hesitated
for a moment and then said, "Why, yes,
if you want it."
"And now," continued the police
man, after be had it, "you know the
case looks strange, and you know we
have so many bikes lost, would you
mind waiting 10 minutes to see if any
one else should come after that wheel?"
"No, I guess uot,"taid the young
man. Then he loaned back cu it railing
and begi.u to wait. After be had been
there thrte cr four minutes the police
man said: "Well, I guess it's all right.
You can go." And then, turning to a
bystander, be remarked, "You can bet
your next mouth's pay he wouldn't
have stood tbere if it wasn't his."

BRAINS EiUALTO COURAGE.
The Cat Rerened, bat the Stoat Woman
Was Not Satisfied.
It was a damp day, but the crowd
stood and watched the black cat as it
mewed plaintively and clung to the
trailing vine three stories above the
street in front of a four story brown
stone dwelling. A long wire supported
the vine, nearly reaching the roof. The
eat, in a sportive mood evidently, had
climbed the long vine and at the third
story stopped, as if fright had paralyzed
further efforts. Every minute it mewed,
and its appeal for help collected a crowd.
A large woman said :
" Why don't some one climb up there
and release that cat?"
"Suppose you try it, madam, " chirped
dapper little mun, who looked upuii
the affair as a joke.
"Well, if I had your small heft 1
would climb that vine. . Men never do
anything dangerous these days. "
"Oh, yes, they do, madam I They
catch cold, drink too much aud stay out
late at their lodges."
She gave the little man a look and
ejaculated: "You think you are smart,
don't you? You can talk, but you cun't
rescue even a cat "
"You do me wrong. Watch me rescue
that cat even at the peril of being in
sulted. Do not be frightened. I go, but
I will return." He ran across the street
as the large woman shouted, "He is go
ing to climb!" He rang the doorbell of
the bouse, and when the servant girl
appeared he pointed to the cat above.
The door closed, and a few minutes
later a window in the third story opened,
and the girl, reaching her arm out,
oaught the cat aud took it in. ' The
crowd cheered, aud the dapper mun
bowed, but the large woman said con
temptuously :
"Men have no courage. Thoy get wo
meu to rescue cats." New York Com

If a scholar has little money for
books, he should expend it mostly on
works of reference, aud so get a daily
return for his output. So seems to have
thought a young man of whom we re
cently heard, who, when asked by a
canvasser to purchase an encyclopedia,
said he had one.
"Which oue is it?" inquired the can
Yasser.
The young man could not remember.
Neither could he tell who published it,
but it was a Una work, in many large
volumes.
"Do you ever use them?" asktd the
agent
"Certainly almost every day."
"In whut liuer"
"Oh, I press my trousers with them.
They are splendid for that. "Rambler.

THE BLACK PRINCE'S ARMY.
The Largest English Fleet Ever Aaaem
, bled Took the Soldiers to France.
Mr. W. O. Stoddard's serial, "With
the Black Prince," gives in St. Nicho
las an account of the splendid army
that accompanied the prince to the bat
tle of Crecy. Mr. Stoddard says:
It was the largest English fleet yet
assembled, and the army going on
board was also the best with which any
English king had ever put to sea. It
consisted of picked men only. Of these,
4,000 were men-at-arms, 6,000 were
Irish, 12,000 were Welsh, but the most
carefully trained and disciplined part
of the force consisted of 10,000 bow
men. During a whole year had Edward
and his son and his generals toiled to
lelect and prepare the men and the weap
ons with which they were to meet the
highly famed chivalry of the continent.
An army selected from a nation of per
haps 4,000,000 of people was to contend
jvith an army collected from France
wun ner uu.uuu.uuu, and from such al
lies of hers as Germany and Bohemia,
re-enforced by large numbers of paid
mercenaries. Among these latter were
the crossbowmen of Genoa sold to Phil
ip by the masters of that Italian oli
garchy.
Edward's adventure had a seeming
of great rashness, for already it was re
ported that the French king had mus
tered 100,000 men. Full manv a cal-
lant cavalier in armor of proof may
well have wondered to hear, moreover,
that Edward HI, accounted the fore
most general of his time, proposed to
meet superior numbers of the best
lances of Europe with lightly armored
men on foot They knew not yet of the
new era that was dawning upon the
science of war. Edward and his bow
men were to teach the world more than
one new lesson before that memorable
campaign was over. Before this he
had shown what deeds might be wrought
upon the sea by ships prepared and
manned and led by himself. He had so
crippled the naval power of his ene
mies that there was now no hostile fleet
strong enough to prevent his present
undertakine. although Philin had man
aged to send out some scores of cruisers
to do whatever harm they could.
FRIGHTENED AWAY.
The
Flrat Man Be Met In the Alaska
Goldfields Scared Him Off.
"No," said a man who was sitting
on a box in front of a grocery store, "I
can't say as I know very much about
Alaska."
His companions looked at him in as
tonishment It was the first time he had
ever admitted not knowing much about
anything.
"I reckon, then, that you're not
thinking about going to dig for gold,"
said one bystander.
"No."
"Mebbe, though, as the stories of
sudden wealth keep pouring in you'U
change your mind," said another. , ..
"It won't be possible. I've been
there." .
"And came back without getting
rich?"
"Yes. I didn't much more than cross
the boundary line before I turned
trouud and struck for home."
"Scared?"
"That's the answer."
"What of polar bears?"
"No."
"Supplies give out?"
"No, I had plenty of food. What
ohanged my plan was seeing a man dig
ging a hole. I had these ideas about gold
being found anywhere and everywhere,
aud I went up thinking to get some
points about mining. I aekod him in
an offhand way whether he bad struck
any pay dirt yet, and he turned around
and glared at me and. said, 'Young fel
ler, whut do you think I am digging
this for?' I told him I thought he was
digging for gold. He glared at me
again and said : 'Gold nothing. I'm do
ing this for fun. I've been living here
for four years, and there's one thing
that my curiosity has never been satis
fied about. I'm going to dig this hole
good and deep so as to allow plenty of
room, aud then find out just how fur
down this climate will make the mer
cury go.' "Washington Star.
Rugs and MoviDg.
A certain man who owns a row of
dwelling houses over in the northwest
quarter of the town has learned wisdom
by bitter experience. A friend of mine
went to him uot long a'0 to rent oue of
the houses.
"Do you lease it by the month or by
the year?" she inquired.
"That depends on whut you are going
to have on your floors, " answered the
landlord. "Are you gain;; to have car
pets?" "No," answered my friend; "we
have rugs. "
"You'll have to sign a year's lease
then, " the landlord mude reply, smil
ing craftily "If ynu bought carpets and
had them fitted to tne floor. 1 kuow
you'd stay in the house as iuug an you
oould, but these rugs are too easily ad
Justed to any sized room. You'll have
to sign a year's lease if you have rugs.
There are seveu houses in my row, aud
six of them haven't kept a tenant longer
than two years at a time for the lust five
years. The seventh house well, the
people in it had carpets made aud laid
for it five years ago, and they haven't
thought of moving. Carpets, I'll rent
by the month; rugs, a year's lease."

Lion Taming.
Men who have had long experience
with lions give them a very bad char
acter. There is said to be no art in so
called lion turning but the art of terror
ism, and uo rule but keeping the lions'
stomachs fall aud their minds cowed.
There uever has been, and there never
will be, say some, an appeal made to
the lion's intelligence, because the lim
ited aiuouut of that quality which be
possesses is eutirely dominated by hit
ferocity.
