Auctioneer Forgot Ilia Spectacles, Kite It Would Not Havre Happened Knocked Down Valuable Piece of Real Hstnto to Pennlleaa Chap. "I owe my start la life to tho fact that an estimable old gentleman forgot to put his eyeglasses In his pocket ono morning," wild a prosperous business tnnti mm n alutnr otv "tl'a rntlmr a. ipiirlnno ntnrv." hit wi-ntnn. "nnil I'll titll It as brlclly as possible. A good many years ago, when I was a young fellow of about 25 or thereabouts, I drifted Into Louisville In search of a Job that didn't materialize, and the upshot of It was that I found myself practically broko In a strange city. Up to that Umo I had always worked for small wnges and had never succeeded In ac cumulating as much an $50, but I had an abiding faith that if I could once get hold of a modest stake I could launch out for myself and mako some money. "Ono morning, when I wns wander ing about with only two or three sliver dollars In my pocket, looking for a chnnce to go to work at anything that might offer, I dropped Into a big down stairs room where some real estate was being sold at auction. A large crowd was present, nnd there was an lnde scrlbablo feeling of tension In tho air that warned me something unusual was about to happen, While I was stand ing there, only vaguely Interested, the auctioneer, who was qulto an elderly gentleman, put up a piece of Improved city property, and nftcr a considerable! pause received a bid of $200. I could" seo that the smallness of the amount excited surprise and was also aware of i a commotion in one corner, where half a dozen previous bidders were gath ered together In an excited group. They seemed to bo quarreling about some thing, and mcnuwhllo the auctioneer wfii ludlgnnnlly appealing for a ro ipcctublo offer. 'Mako It twenty-five hundred,' ho shouted; 'does any gontle- umn bid twenty-five hundred?' lie look ed directly at mo, and I mado a gesture of denial. Thank you!' ho exclaimed, greatly to my surprise; 'the gentleman over thero bids twenty-llvo hundred; and, If I can holp It, no combination of buyers Is going to bo allowed to dic tate prices at this salol' With that ho suddenly knocked down tho property to me. "No sooner was this done," continued tho story teller, "than a great uproar of protest arose from tho group In the corner. They Insisted that they had been given no chanco to bid, but thj auctioneer stood linn, and, calling ry to tho platform, requested my nnnf .nd address and a 20 per cent cash-tor posit on the $2,500. By that UmfUf: realized, of course, that some extr'aor dlnary chanco had thrown a fluo plc(&j tf property Into my hands at a fraction .1 I, a Mm. I ....I...-. .....1 f .It,! .hImj. m.lnfc - Ul lto ll'UI VU1III-, IU1U I UIU OU1IIU tJUIUIl thinking. 'I've sent a messenger for tho money,' I said, as coolly as I could, 'and I'll have It lioro In fifteen minutes.' Tho auctioneer looked at tho clock. 'AH right,' ho replied, 'I'll glvo you that limit.' "Then I took a dospornto chance. I pushed through tho crowd, which was already Interested In tho next sale, and beckoned to a little fat man who had been ono of tho loudest kickers a few momenta before. 'Look here,' I said, .!... .... urnwing mm aside, Mo you want to bo my silent partner for an hour or so' What d'you meanV said he. I gavo him tho truth In a dozen words. 'Now let mo hae that $500 deposit money,' I added, 'and we'll share tho protlta, whatever Uiey are,' Tho llttlo man looked at mo shrewdly. This Is a big joko on all of us,' ho said, grinning, 'and I guess I'll risk tho deal.' At tho sumo Umo bo counted out $500 and put It In my hands. I raced back to tho desk with tho cash, clinched tho sale, and before noon had the deed In my possession. Then, to mako a long story short, my silent partner offered mo $1. 000 cash for my Interest, and as $1,000 looked about aa big aa a mountain at that stago of tho game, I promptly ac cepted. That $1,000, fortunately placed, gavo mo the start that has kept mo go ing ever since. "Hut what about tho eyeglasses, did you say? Why, the auctioneer, aa I af terward learned, was very near-sighted, nud on tho morning to which I refer ho had forgotten his glasses. That was why he mistook my gesture of disavow al for a sign of assent nud forced me, In of myself, Into a good thing. I never understood the exact true luwardness of tho deal, but tho facts In the rough were that a clique of speculators bad formed a combine to keep down pries, but, owing to some misunderstanding, failed to bid promptly on the property which I secured. The auctioneer was onto the game ami anxious to break It up, hence his precipitancy In knocking down the lot to yours truly. I heard later on that my portly silent partner mado $8,000 out of tho transaction, but I dou't begrudge hi in the money. The $500 he gavo me ou faith that mornlug was worth fully 10 per cent n minute." New Orleans Times-Democrat Uncousoiuna of Danger. In tho course of Ross Cox's expedi tion along the Columbia River some years ago, one member of the party had a dangerous experience, of which for tunately he was at tho time uncon scious. The men were preparing sup per on tho bank of tho river, and La Course, worn-out with the fatigue of the day, had stretched himself on the ground ml fallen asleep. A few minutes later I passed him, says Mr. Cok, aud was horrltled at see ing a largo ruttlosuake moving oyer his body toward his left breast My first Impulse was to alarm La Course, but an old Canadian whom 1 had beckoned to the spot said we must make no noise, nnd the snake would cross the man's body and go away. ' In this he was mistaken, for ou reaching the chest the serpent colled Itself quiet ly as If meditating a stay. If La Course moved or woke, wo shuddered to think what would happen. Others quietly Joined us, and It waa determined that two men should ad vance In front, to divert the attention of tho snake, while one should approach with a long stick from the reur and dislodge the creature. On seeing the men, In front, the rat tler raised its head, plnyed Its evil-look-lng tongue nnd shook Its rattles, Indi cations of anger. Every one was In a state of feverish anxiety as to the fate of poor La Course, who still lay asleep. The man behind now came up with a stick seven feet long, quickly placed ono end under tho reptile, and succeeded In pitching It ten feet from tho man's body. A shout of Joy was the tlrst Intima tion La Course hnd of his wonderful escape. The shako was pursued and killed. Ilula's March to Warm Water. As Russia was oriental In her origin, so she moves to the Orient by lunate and congenial compulsion. It has been pointed out that the sea alone stopped the Cossacks In tho seven teenth century, nnd when they got to work again In the nineteenth the Rus sians crossed the Pacific and pushed on to within a few miles of San Fran cisco, long before tho first "prairie schooner" sailed over the plains. The map of Asia Is a Russian step ladder: Tho "Urals, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia, Balkalla, Kamchatka, the Amur, Manchuria, the Steppe, Khi va, Turkestan, tho Merv oasis, Bok hara, Samarkund; these arc tho rungs sho has climbed. Persia, Kashgar, Af ghanistan, India Itself unless a might ier force than herself bar the way, her feet will bo here, too, In the fullness of time. Tho "half south" In her courso Is shown by the gradual descent of her naval base In tho Far East: Petropav lofskl, Nlhelalcfsk, Vladivostok, Port Arthur. If you would understand Russia and Interpret and forecast aright the march of great events never forget that, for her, eastward the course of emplro takes Its way; that as the sap rises, as tho Bparks lly upwurd, as the tides follow the moon, so Russia goes to tho sunrise and tho warm water. "This is what tho history of Siberia strikingly Illustrates nud It Is from this point of vl6w that the great Slberlau railway derives Its chief significance. Scrlbncr's Magazine. The Sniuck l Hohool. A district school, not fur. away, 'Mfd Berkshire hills one rlnter'i day, Was humming with its wonted noise Of three score mingled girls nnd boys; Some few upon their tusks Intent, But more on furtive mischief bent.

"Whut's thatV" the startled master cries; "That, thlr," a little Imp replies, "Wath William Wllllth, It you pleathe I thaw him kith Thuthnuuti 1'enthe!" With frown to mnke a statue thrill, The muster thundered. "Hither. Will!" Like wretch o'ertuken in his track, With stolen chattels ou his back, Will hung his head In fear and shame, And to the awful presence came, A grout, green, bashful simpleton, The butt of all good-natured fun. With stulle suppressed, nnd birch up raised The threutener faltered "I'm amnied That you, my biggest pupil, should Be guilty of an act so rtidel Before the whole set school to boot What ovll jretilu put you .o t?"

Tho nrtlflclal "moon" for lighting the great domed reading room of Columbia University Library has now begun to shine. It Is hung lu the center of the celling, Just where tho dome begins to curve upwards, nud the Inner surface of the dome being painted blue, the moon Is seen as If projected against a clear sky. The moon Is a wooden globe, seven feet la diameter, painted a dead white, so that It should reflect 70 or 80 per cent of the light project ed upon It. On this globe light Is pro jected from eight strong electric arc lights placed at regular Intervals round the walls, and so masked as to be In visible to persons on the floor level. The moon thus lighted up shines bril liantly, but Its light can hardly be sutll dent for the reading students, ns It Is said to be less thau that of a full moon shining overhead from a clear sky. Readers have, however, Incandescent lamps ou the tables, the moon being primarily designed to display the dome nnd the upper parts of the great hall. This It Is to do beautifully without subjecting tho beholders to an unpleas ant glare of light. I.au)ruago aa It's Spoke. "There comes Polly Perkins; let's make It hot for her?"
