Hiilllcleiitly to tell the reason for his
feud In coherent fashion, hut from
other sources ciiually as uuthcntlc the
cause of the trouble Is learned.
.Mr. .Subscriber has a telephone In
his house. It Is one of these thrcc-or-l'our-on-the-llno

Mrs. .Subscriber, who Is a light sleeper,
heard a noise In the house. It was
one of those stealthy, creepy, noise
less noises that HtiKgext missing sliver,
stolen watches, and sometimes mur
der. .She Is a courageous woman, and
she made cettalh that her ears did not
deceive her. Then she screamed. Mr.
.Subscriber woke with a start, but was
still a bit foggy. Another scream.
"What's the matter?" asked the mas
ter of tin house.
"Hurglarsl Don't you hear themV
Murder! Help! l$urglnis! Police!"
Mr. Subscriber leaped up and ran to
the door of the room. Ho saw a man
hustling down the stairs. He ran back
and proceeded to put on bis trousers.
Then he hunted for a match, hut his
match box was empty and he could
not llud one until he had ransacked
nearly every room on the upper Moor,
and Dually located one In the bath
room. Ho lit the gas and looked at his
watch and found that It was half-past

sleepy Central that tlieio were bur
glars In the house, and he wanted po
lice lieadiitiarters In order that the
bluecoats might ho warned In time to
capture the marauilers. Wouldn't Cen
tral please hurry?
"Put In your nickel," said Central.
"1 haven't a bit of change, not a
thing less tlinu a dollar hill. Charge
me up with a nickel a dollar ten dol
lars. Do anything, but Just give me
police lieadiitiarters."
"Well, I'm sorry," said Central In n
manner both deliberate and sympa

nickel In the slot before I can give
you lieadiitiarters. That's the rule, you
know."
"Hut don't you see how It Is," plead

Say, charge mo up with anything, I've

Hurry up, do. The women In the
house are nearly frantic."
This appeal was not without Its In

the 'phone:
"This Is the chief operator. What Is
It?"
Mr. Subscriber stated his caso again,
saying that he could hear the spoons

could leave the -station. The chief
operator listened attentively at least
she didn't Interrupt. Then she asked
sweetly:
"Well, you know we can't let you
have tlio number unless you put in

MAKERS OF TOMAHAWKS.
Hnullah, Krcucli tuiil HpiinUli Muilo
the Motul lud Ian Vt)ii)(iiia.
lleforo the discovery of America by
Columbus the Indians used as weapons
of war stone axes, or celts, such as one
tluds occasionally In opening mounds.
plowing Holds or dlgglug foundations.
the general form of which Is familiar
to almost every one. With the arrival
of the whites the Indians discarded
these litliusy weapons of the stone age
and began using tomahawks of Iron or
eteol, which they obtained from the
white traders, and which, after the
wants of the Indians came to be better
known, were manufactured for the
American trade In varlous'tuirts of Kit
rope. With the Improvement In tire
arms the Indians came In time to have
very little use even for tho tomahawk,
so that none were made after 17.14.
Thus It happens that those metal
tomahawks are of more value and
greater Interest than the earlier stoue
axes, or celts, by reason of the fact
that the latter are fairly comtuou and
can bo found tn almost any mound,
whereas the tomahawks of European
wauufucturo nr to-duy exceedingly
raro and also because there are three
different varieties of tho latter, show
ing In their design and general work-
niaushlp the trend of European art
ntid metal-working skill.
The llrst Is called the English tonia
hnwk, for tho reason that It was the
kind made l.v the English, and traded
by them to tho tribes with whom they
came In contact In their settlement of
the new world. The English-made
tomahawk Is patterned af.ter the old
English ax. The foro part of the tom
ahawk runs In a perfectly straight lino
I rom the "pipe" or "hammer," down to
the edge of the blade, while the rear
part of the blade curves upward and
Inward toward the handle. The French
style of tomahawk Is altogether differ
ent. The "pipe" Is the same as In the
Eughsh (for that mutter, all toma
hawks arc, In this respect, alike), but
the blade was shaped exactly like an
nee of diamonds, forming n sort of
double triangle that caused tho weapon
to look like a spear-head set hi the
side, rather than In the end, of the
handle or shaft. This Idea the French
took front the pike, a weapon very
common and popular In the French ar
mies of that period.
The tomahawk which the Spanish
traders sold to their Indian customers,
and which was manufactured In the
steel foundries of Toledo, differed very
much from the other and Is the rarest
of the three. The Spanish tomahawk
was an exact copy, only on n smaller
scale, of tho old halberds, which were
exceedingly popular during the cru
sades, and had reached a high state of
perfection In Spain.
As a general thing, pnys the Wash
ington Post, one would be most apt to
Hud the English type of tomahawk
among the Iroquois, Delawnres, Shaw
noes, Cberokees, Creeks, Choctnws
noil nthiM- t ellii'vi I lint llvpil within the
ngIo-Saxou sphere of settlement: the
French style among tho OJIbwns, Chip-
pewas, Ottawas, Sioux, Nez Forces,
Flat heads and Crees, with whom they
dealt and came In contact boforo any
other whites, while the .Spanish type
would be most apt to occur among the
Scmliioles, Klowas, Zuuls and
Apaches.
WHY WOMEN LIKE FICTION.
Itcnrcil Inn Koinantle Atmosphere anil
Kcml for I.ovo of n Htory.
Do women llud In fiction tho roman
tic element they crave, and perhaps
do not llml In sutllcleut quantity In
life? How otherwise are wo to ac
count for their devotion to novels,
without which the story-writer would
fare hut III upon the slim diet of an
untitled purse, and tho publisher share
the disaster? If Mr. Carneglo should
ho nble to keep out of libraries, as he
suggested, all tlctlon under three years
old, It might safely bo said that the
women would bo against htm which
means that the thing could not be
done. Women like new tlctlon; they
want the boot: that Is "Just out." If It
Is a historical novel, they feel that they
are gathering Information, heaven
bless them!
If It Is a romance, puro and sim
ple, they forget over Its pnges tho do
mestic trials of the morning or tho af
ternoon. It does them no inoro harm
than has been douo for countless gen
(rations. For women nro nourished
upon tlctlon from the days of their
birth. Our girls nro reared In nn at
mosphere rn rolled and cleared from till
Impurities. Tho world Is shown them
through a rosetlucturcd glass. "Here,
dearest, Is a city, a wonderful city of
happy homes, of beautiful art, of hea'
only aspiration. And these these niq
men, noble, hlgh-mlmled beings who
will always guide and teach and pro
tect you. These other nro women,
lovelier than everything else." And so
on.
Fiction without discrimination Is fed
to tho girl who looks with heaven-given
irtist Into tlio eyes of her well-
meaning teachers. And when she be
comes a woman, the habit has seut
Its roots Into her soul, and be sho hap
py or pensive, she rends tlctlon.
With men It Is dlfferenL They do
not expect from life what women do.
When they read novels It Is to forget
the rigors of business, to enter delib
erately a region which they know does
not exist. Hut women can seldom
unite believe- that It docs not exist. To
them life Is romance. If It does not
turn out well, bo much the worse for
life, and they turn to books, where the
happy ending Is fairly sure to bo count
ed upon. In women's love for tlctlon
there Is homcthlng more than Is super
llolally apparent. Harper's Weekly.
l'rotefttnnl Kittens.
Pressed for a little ready money a
Kerry "bhoy" took It Into his head that
perhaps a Protestant clergyman would
buy from him a couple of kittens. The
bargain, however, could not bo struck,
even with an Indorsement from Conn
that "they were hound Protestant kit
tens," and he returned to his caldn,
About a week later, and things gone
front bad to worse, It struck Conn that
perhaps, the parish priest might take a
fancy,, to the kittens, and off he set
with them, one under each arm, for the
presbytery. "Och. your rlverenco, do
buy them. Sure, they are good Catho
lic kittens, anyhow." "Hut you said
tho other day, that they were sound
Protestant kittens," replied the father,
who had heard In conversation about
Comi's offer to the other clergyman.
"Thrue, father dear, ami so they were,
but their eyes weren't opened thou."
Aud the kittens were sold.

DUtnuco a Letter May Trnvel with a
United States Htnmp. .
"Now that tho Danish West Indies
will become nu Insulnr possession of
the United States upon the completion
of the diplomatic negotiations for their
acquisition, and the eastern shore lino

of the tempestuous Atlantic, It will

with postal affairs.
"I venture to say that even nn off

possibilities cannot really he given.
Having occasion to go Into this question
recently, I made a new calculation.
which Is approximately correct. It Is

Thence we will take nn aerial Journey

"From St. Thomas to New York It Is
1,128 miles; to San Francisco, U.31G

2,035 miles; from Uunhiskn to Nome,
about 1,000 miles, and thence to Point

Arctic Sea sulllclently. and which will
carry the supplies for tho new otllco,
will go around the western shores of
Alnska through Hebrlng Strult, and tho
totnl distance will be somewhat In
creased. Actual distances In this re
mote region cannot be stated with pc"l
tlvcness, but these figures are not far
out of tho way, and arc based upon of
ficial data.
"Returning? southward, overland part
of the way, It Is approximately 1,500
miles from Point Harrow to Unnlaska;
thence It Is 2,01(1 tulles to Honolulu;
from this Isle In the sen It Is 3,33? tulles

"Aud now for the homeward leap,"
said the postal olllclal, according to tho
Witfihlngton Star. "It Js 7.041 miles
from Manila to San Francisco via
t mini and Honolulu, and -1,7-13 tulles
from tho Golden Onto City to St.

here outlined, approximates 20.-131
miles which n letter might travel, un

Lndy Warwick has n peacock which
Is believed to bo more than 100 years
old. A writer In County Life says: "A
friend told me ho has had tho same
peacocks for llfty years. How old they
wero when ho had them first ho did
not know."
A writer In nu English magazine tells
this story: "1 was rolling a lawn with
a roller open at both ends and pushing
It In front of me, when I heard n great
nolco among tho rooks ami starlings
swooping over my head, followed by
a kestrel. 1 did not take much uotlco
of this and went on rolling, when, sud
denly I heard a rush of wings aud a
stat ling fairly throw Itself on tho
ground within n foot of tho side of,tho
roller and hopped Inside: In nn instant
later tho hawk came against tho roller,
hut recovered Itself and swooped rounrf
the other side, presumably to catch tto
starling when It cntue out. but It was
sharp enough to stay where It was.
Tho hawk then went off. This Is, In
my opinion, rather remarkable, as I
was under the Impression that hawks
and cats did not eat starlings owing to
their bitter tnste."
A recent letter from India tells the
following story of n tiger hunt: "We
sat on a rock aud tho beutcrs beat
through tho Jungle toward us. There
wero two ways the tiger might come,
oue to our left and tho other to our
right; so F watched on tho rlglit-
hand side and I watched on the left
Suddenly I heard a terrltlc 'bangl'
close to my eur and a roar; tho tiger
bad gono to F 's Bide of the rock.
1 turned my head quickly round and
saw an enormous tiger rolling over and
over down the hill. V had shot her
In the shoulder aud she fell at once,
but as the side of the bill where 'wo
were slttlug was very steep the tiger's
weight as sho fell over carried her
dowu the hill aud we found her lying
dead In tho thick stuff at the bottom.
So F has killed two tigers In eight
days and I was with him both times.
This tiger Is a magnificent animal, tho
finest aud biggest that has been shot
about here or years. She was a noted
and extremely dangerous beast, too,
rs about two years ago she mauled and
killed two coolies, and there was a
superstition among the natives that
there was no' rifle big enough to shoot
her,"
A man-hating womau aud a woman
bating man are always suspected of
bavins a lot of scars.
