some time there was some excitement
among them. An alarm was sounded
from the Wilson Elk Horn stables on
the opposite side of the street, and
David Williams and Warren Follens
bee, who were in the building at the
time the fire started, rushed to the
street, fastened the hose to a hydrant

guished. The men proved excellent
firemen with the assistance of Char
les Tobin, brother of the proprietor.
The awning was entirely destroyed.

Out of Date Coins In England.
Money coined before certain dates is
not legal tender in England, and dates
differ for gold, silver- and copper. Be
fore June,' 1S37. is the prohibitive date
for. gold, while silver coins minted be
fore June, 1817. can be refused In pay
ment of any article, and in the case of
copper the fixed year is June. 1861.
This is rather curious, but more curi
ous still is the fact that many bank
officials themselves are in ignorance of
this coin table, so that it might be just
possible to slip an extinct coin through
unobserved. But even if one managed
it at the local bank it could not fail to
be "spotted" at the Bank of England,
where a special "lookout" is kept for
obsolete coins. Pearson's Weekly.
The Missing Note.
One of the leading tenors in Moscow
was called upon to sing an opera in
which one note was much too high for
him, but he got a man in the orches
tra to come in just at the right time
and supply the note. In exchange the
tenor was to take him to supper. The
plan answered well, the applause wn
loud, but the tenor forgot all about the
supper. Next time he sang the opera
he went to the front of the stage, put
his hand on his heart and opened his
mouth as wide as he conkl. His dis
comfiture was great when the expect
ant hush was broken hy a voice fnm

By TOMMY CLARK.
Following Frank Gotch's decisive
defeat of Jesse Westergard In Kansas
City recently, when he threw the chal
lenger for the title twice without nsiug
the toe hold, efforts are being made to
match the Humboldt (la.) farmer with
Zbysco, thevPole.
The sibilant one has long been seek
ing a match with the champion, and
after he had disposed of Westergard
Gotch announced that the only terms
he would consider for a bout with
Zbysco was on a winner take all basis.
Jack Herman, the Pole's manager.'
has accepted Gotch's defl and declares
he is willing to make a big side bet.
Zbysco does not demand that the toe
hold be barred, as Westergard did.
Although Gotch has been turning a
deaf ear to Zbysco's Importnnities
for a match for more than a year, it
Is now believed that the men will be
brought together on the mat In the
near future. Salt Lake City and Kan
sas City are the probable locations
which will be considered for the
match. The Salt Air Beach clnb of:
fered $30,000 for the affair last winter,

now in Europe, but will return to this

Duncan is the greatest discus thrower
ever developed in this country. He
was picked as a sure winner in the
Olympic games at Stockholm, but had
to be satisfied with second place.
Burns Should Meet Palzer.
Tommy Burns rises to remark that
with Jack Johnson In retirement Sam
Langford is heavyweight champion of
the world. Burns adds that be has
cabled Hugh Mcintosh for -a match
with Langford in Sydney on "boxing"
day next December. Burns forgets
perhaps" that he suddenly left Aus
tralia last spring when Mcintosh, at
Langford's request, asked him to meet
the Tar Baby in a twenty round bout
Burns has no idea of fighting Langford
in December or any other time. Why
doesn't he stack up against Palzer?
Hank O'Day About Through.
Hank O'Day evidently believes that
his career as manager of the Cincin
nato Reds is .nearing an end. He is
out with a bold assertion that Garry
Herrmann has handicapped him all
season by refusing to spend money for
desirable players. O'Day is quoted as
saying that several deals that would
have helped the Reds were blocked by
Herrmann's refusal to put up the coin
Hank is bitter toward several Cincin
nati critics who. be says, wrecked the
team by npfair comments. He declares
that nobody ever will succeed as mana
ger of the Reds so long as Herrmann
allows himself to be swayed by grand
stand wiseacres. O'Day's experience
in Porkville was predicted by Clark
Griffith, Ed Hanlon. John Ganzel and
Joe Kelley, former managers of the
Red troupe.

A little gi"l went to spend the after

she enjoyed herself hugely, but then
she became silent and reflective. A

Ail tourists through the Alpine re

the many manifestations of which are
most mysterious. The snow and ice
of the mountains disappear in a few
hours under its action, and many per
sons experience a sickness of a pecul
iar character while the foehn wind is
on. In some parts of the Alps the
wood of the houses is dried out so
thoroughly that it is like tinder, and
at times, when this is at all prolonged,
it is necessary to prohibit the use of
fires within the houses. While this
precaution is not usually necessary, it
is quite common to see a fire patrol
making a tour of the town as an extra
precaution.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A.NYE.
THE WOMAN WHO CARED.
Is it true that the cblefest enemy of
the woman who would reform Is ber
sister woman?
If It is true there are exceptions.
In proof of which is this story of
the iguorant foreigner and the woman
who oared.
The poor foreigner was kept in jail
for six years, charged with-' murder.,
and three times she stood in the shad
ow Of the electric chair. The woman
who cared was the wife of the sheriff
in charge of the jail at Haekensaek.
N. J.
When the foreign woman entered the
jail she could not speak a word of
English. Indeed, her crime was large
ly caused by her Ignorance of Ameri
can speech and ways.
Taking pity" on the forlorn creature,
the sheriff's wife taught her the use
of English; also she gave the woman
a chance to learn housekeeping, sew
ing, the arts of embroidery, etc.
And then
Urged on by the woman who cared,
the prisoner took up the study of ste
nography and typewriting. So great
was her proficiency. In spite of the
depressing conditions of her life and
the great nervous strain of the various
trials, she was able, when she stepped
out of jail a free woman, to take rapid
dictation and write a good letter.
Moreover, the sheriff's wife stimulat
ed In the prisoner a desire for reading,
so that she is now an unusually well
"informed woman.
The transformation was complete. -
While she was in prison and was
being given the opportunity to change
herself from a crude, ignorant foreign
er to a woman of intelligence her hus
band had been free.
He had worked with construction
gangs, had learned little or no English
and. was just about where she left him."
Now she has undertaken to educate
and Americanize her husband-
Fine?
1 know nothing finer. No school
could have done for this prisoner what
the woman who cared did for her. She
gave the prisoner a chance, and, what
was better, she knew her needs and
sympathized and helped. Underneath
the ignorant criminal she saw the pos
sibilities of the woman.
Now
It Is a great thing to preach the
gospel to the heathen no doubt about
that, but
It is greater to be the sort of home
missionary who Is able to carry the
gospel to the heathen in your own

SCHULTE HAS A RIVAL.
Cravath of Philadelphia Gives Promise
of Becoming Home Run King.
Charles Clifford Cravath gives every
promise of .becoming the home run
king of the National league. While
"Gavy" has not played regularly all
season with the Phillies, he has already
accumulated ten circuit clouts. It is
noteworthy that each of Cravath's
four times has had a direct bearing on
the outcome 'of the game. When
"Gavy" lands on the ball it is a safe
bet that it will go for extra bases.

It is almost impossible to hang a wo
man in this country, but in old time
England this was not the case. King
George III. once offered twenty-three
woman offenders an alternative to
hanging. They might, should they
choose, be transported instead. Six of
them voted for hanging. Many women
were then hanged for far less crimes
than smashing windows. George Pas
ton, for instance, notes the fate of r
woman left husbandless by the press
gang: "Rendered desperate, she en
tered a shop and took up a piece of
linen. but laid it down again.
For this she was condemned to death
and was hanged, we are told, with her
