One nlg-ht a number of fellow bou vlvanta Joined him In a synipoHlum, and many mint Juleps were consumed. One of tbe party uimteadliy produced a revolver. It was accidentally discharged, and bullet struck Kill Jones In tbe leg. Conscience stricken and wabbly with excitement and Juleps, the owner of tbe weapon hastened to tbe home of the nearest doctor and pulled tbe door bell. At length tbe physician, who bad himself been spending a riotous even ing, stuck bis bead from tbe second story window. "Whazza nmzzer?" he demanded thickly. "I Jush shot Bill Jones In the leg," replied the man below. "Shot BUI Jones in tbe leg!" repeat ed the doctor wouderlngly. "Thash wha' I sbuld," returned the offender "shot BUI Jones In the leg." The doctor gazed down upon biro admiringly. "Well." he said, "that wash a hell of a good shot" And be closed tbe window and went back to bed. The Hall of Famo.

Snared Himielf. Charles Mathews, tbe famous Eng lish actor, once Indulged in bis talent for mimicry to bis own misfortune. Mr. Tattersall, the well known auc tioneer, was conducting a sale of blood ed stock. "The first lot, gentlemen," said Mr. Tattersall, "Is a bay filly by Smoleusko." "The first lot, gentlemen," echoed Mr. Mathews In tbe same tone of voice, "Is a bay Ally by Smolensko." Tbe auctioneer looked somewhat an noyed, but proceeded. "Well, what shall we beglu with?" "Well, what shall we begin wlthT replied the echo. Still endeavoring to conceal bis vexa tion, Mr. Tattersall called out, "One hundred guineas?" "One hundred guineas?" echoed Mathews. "Thnnk you, sir." cried Mr. Tatter sall, bringing down tbe hammer with a bang, "the filly Is yours!" Could He Help It? A lady and a Mttle boy entered tbe car, but the boy squirmed and fidget ed so much on his seat that at last one of the other passengers expostulated: "For goodness' soke, keep your child still, madam!" "I'm very sorry," said the mother, "but the truth Is until I get to the hos pital I shan't be able to quiet him." "Dear me! What's the matter with blra?" "He swallowed a teaspoon yesterday, and ever since he's been on the stir." The Law and the Lady. Tat Flunlgan had been summoned to'Jury duty. Coming downstairs one morning dressed In his Sunday clothes, his wife looked at him and said: "Where are you going, Pat?" He replied. "I'm going to coort." "H'm!" said the wife, and Tat stalk ed out. Next morning Pat came down stairs all shaved and shorn, with tbe same suit of clothes on. "And where are you golBg today?" said the wife. "8ure, I'm going to coort." "Ye are, are ye?" Tat went out and slammed the door. The third morning Pat came In and at down to the breakfast table with the same suit of clothes on and greet ed his wife, who said: "And where are ye going this morn Ing. Tat?" "I'm going to coort" The wife laid her hands upon a rolling pin, stood before the door and said: "Ye're going to coort, are ye?" "Yls," said Tat. "No, ye're not. If there's any coort Ing to be dono It will be done right here. Go upstairs and take off thlm clothes."-New ark Star. Wort Than tha Third Degrss. A married man ran away with a silly young girl, and after an exciting chase the elopers were finally cap lircd and returned to their homos. Feeling In the town ran high against the man, ai.d a number of neighbors Here sitting together one evening dis cussing the case. Naturally every body bad an Idea of bis own as to what action should be taken against tbe married man. One suggested Jail for life, another said ninety years In the penitentiary would do, and a third offered tar and feathers. A little man who sat In tbe corner looked up and smiled. "I have a scheme," he remarked, "that beats all of yours a mile." "What would you do with him?" the chorus asked. "I would turn him over to bis wife's mother," said the nu'et Utile man. Philadelphia Telegraph. A Writer In the Wrong Pew. When James Payn was editor of the Cornhlll Magazine bis private office was invaded one day by an unan nouueed visitor who had managed to evade the porter downstairs. The call er's balr was long, and bis clothes were shabby and untidy. He bad a roll of paper lu bis hand. Payn, surmising a poet and an epic several thousand lines long, looked up. "Well, sir?" "I've brought you something about sarcoma and carcinoma." "We are overcrowded with poetry couldn't accept another line, not if it were by Milton." "Poetry!" the caller flashed. "Do you know anything about sarcoma and carcinoma?" "Italian lovers, aren't they?" said I'ayn lmperturbobly. The caller retreated with a wither ing gin nee at tbe editor. Under the same roof as the Cornhlll was the office of a uu-dlca! and surgical Jour nal, and It was this that tbe caller sought for the disposal of a treatise on those cancerous growths with the euphonious names which, with a lay man's Ignorance, Payn ascribed to poetry. McClure's. Things to Forget. If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd. A leader of men, marching fearless and proud. And you know of a tale whose mar tell ing aloud Would cause hia proud head to In angulab be bowed, It's a pretty good plan to forget It. If you know of a skeleton hidden away la a closet and guarded and kept from the day In the dark and whose showing, whose sudden dUjilay, Would cause grief and so-row and life long dismay, It'a a pretty good plan to forget It. If you know of a thing that will darken the Joy Of a man or a woman, a eirl or a bnv. That will wle out a smile or the least way annoy A fellow or cause any gladness to cloy. It's a pretty good plan to forget It. Hoist With His Own Petard. The girl with the soft, appealing eyes looked up at the tall, broad shouldered young man who was hov ering alMnit her with a protecting air, having Just won her from a hated rival. "Jim," she murmured, "now that we've been engagpd ever since lust night, and you won't ever need to be Jealous again, I've brought you to se lect a tie for for anyway, you will, won't you? A man's taste Is so cor rect In such things." "For rhll, you mean? Of course I will," Jim replied with a magnani mous air. "This green tie with tbe yellow strles Is fine and dandy. Get him that." "Are you sure It Is quite your choice," the girl asked anxiously. Usually you select such quiet ties." "That is precisely my taste," tbe young man said glibly. The girl exchanged a two dollar bill for the gmidy necktie and a moment later slipped It Into ber companion's hand. "Jim." she said, "I can't Just keep it secret an Instant longer. It'a really for yoib-the first gift I've ever given you so I wanted It be exactly what you liked. You must wear It always when you come to see me, added the possessor of the soft, appealing eyes, with an adorable blush. Kansas City Times. i An Eye Out. Dispute over a cab fure lu London gave Henry Herman, the dramatist, opportunity for playing a grim Joke at the driver's expense. Herman was the unfortunate possessor of a glass eye, which, on Jehu's waxing demonstra tive with his whip, whereof the lash passed perilously near, be suddenly pulled out aud thrust In cabby's face. "You rascal," bo vociferated, look what you've done! You've cut ray eye out!" Itbout waiting Tor tbe money in dispute tho driver lashed bis horse and fled aghast. A Sad Experience. C. K. G. Billings, the famous horse man, had a sad, heartbreaking expe rience with the first horse be ever owned. When quite a young man Mr. Bil lings fancied a fast trotting mare priced to him at $2,000; but, not hav ing more than $500 to bis name, he persuaded bis mother to advance him tbe balance, which she did after much coaxing and begging. In due time his father beard of the fast trotter bis son had bought and expressed a desire to try her. The request was complied with, and after a few spins on the road the old gentleman asked how much he bad paid for ber. "Six hundred dollars, father," was the answer. "Well, Charley, the maro Is not worth It." said tho governor, "but I rather like tho way she steps, so I will take ber from you, and you can have your ?i500." The deal lind to be closed. Nature Fakers of Fame. Fancy and Imagination are at a dis count, and our young Gradgrlnds want strict facts. It was different years ago, when boys delighted In "The Island Home," even though the author of that desert island story made the albatross come up from tbe depths of the sea, a beautiful glittering creature with fins and scales, and described a battle royal between a sperm whale and a thrashing shark and swordfisb. Again, how popular was "Tbe Swiss Family Robinson." In spite of the fact that In their' wonderful Island were found a Hon. a polar bear and a kanga roo, and the whole family, though armed with guns, were blockaded for days by a boa constrictor. London Outlook. THE POKER. Hardly Changed Since the Days ef the Early Metal Workers. As tbe first fireplace was a circle of stones at tbe mouth of a cave, so tbe first poker was a piece of green stick. It was necessary to bave' something to kuock tbe logs together wltb when they began to bum through tbe mid dle, and as primitive mau did not wear boots be could not use them to kick tbe hot embers Into place, as some of us do to this day. Tbat waa a refine ment. If It can be so called, which came later. Tbe green stick lasted un til tbe age of Iron and was then super seded by a bandy piece of metal which possessed the advantage of being stronger aud of not burning away. But since tbe days of the early work ers in metal we have made no ad vance. Tbe poker has hardly. If at all, changed through tbe ages. It is, as It always has been, simple and severe of outline. It lenda Itself to no vagaries and to little ornamentation. It Is one of tbe few things which no one has ever patented, because It may be said to bave leaped from tbe first foundry perfect and complete In every respect. The only notable attempt at Improve ment has been to make the poker of brass wltb a twisted column, but even then tbe Iron poker lurks at tbe aide and Is known as tbe curate, because It does all tbe rough work. Tbe orna mental poker Is not a poker at all, but a sbam, an upstart masquerading un der an ancient and honored name and gaining credit for duties which It Is unable to perform. London Globe. A GREAT BATTLE. The One Known In History as the "Victory of Victories." Tbe battle which Is known la his tory as the "Victory of Victories" took place at Nebavcnd, in Ecbatana, and waa fought between tbe new Moslem power In C37 and tbe empire of Per sia, then one of the most powerful of the eastern monarchies. It was one of tbe most absolutely decisive battles In tbe history of war, and it was all the more amazing by reason of the fact tbat It was won by a people who twenty years before bad been un known barbarians, lost In the deserts of Arabia. Arabian historians place tbe Persian loss In a single day at 100,000 men killed. This may be and probably Is an exaggeration, but tbe fact remains that the Persian dynasty came to an end when the battle was over and that Zoroastrlanlsm, which had been the re ligion of Persia for over a thousand years, was at once supplanted by Is lam. Its modern representatives, as Is well known, are now tbe Parsees of India. Tbe victory was so absolutely de cisive that it extended the Arabian do minions over the whole of the region lying between the Caspian sea and the Indian ocean. With the exception per haps of the battle of Tours, no single fight ever made such a difference In the after history of the world. She Knew the Reason. He was smoking and musing over tbe ways of the world. "Odd, Isn't It," be said at last, "bow few people at tain tbelr ideals In this world?" "In what way?" Inquired his wife suspiciously, for she was not a woman to be caught off ber guard. "Well," he replied slowly, "I was thinking of Wllraer when I spoke. He bad an Ideal woman that be was al ways talking about when be was In college. She was tall and stately In his dreams, and be seemed to bave no place In bis heart for a small woman, and yet and yet" "Well?" "Why, be finally married a little thing who hardly comes to bis shoul der. I wonder why it was." "Perhaps. Fred," she said very slow ly and distinctly, "be Is like tbe ma jority of other men and was afraid to take any one of his size." He changed tbe subject. A Shocking Tree. There Is a peculiar tree In the for ests of central India wblcb has most curious characteristics. Tbe leaves of tbe tree are of a highly sensitive na ture and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them receives an electric shock. It has a very singu lar effect upon a magnetic ueedle and will Influence It at a distance of even seventy feet The electrical strength of the trees varies according to tbe time of day. It being strongest at mid day and weakest at midnight In wet weather Its powers disappear alto gether. Birds never approach tbe tree, nor have insects ever been seen upon it. Old English Fairs. Fairs and feasts were formerly held la churchyards lu honor of the saint to whom tbe church was dedicated. In consequence of these popular gath erings being much abused they had to be suppressed in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Edward III., as appears by the folio wlug extract, quot ed by Spclman: "And tbe Kynge com ma ndetb and forbiddetb tbat from henceforth neither fairs and markets shall be kept in churchyards for tbe honour of the Church. Given at West minster, the VIII of Octobre, the XIII yea re of Kynge Edwarde's relgne." London Queen. Very 8uggettlve.
