ter of record nnd n constant source of
delight to tho American "Jollier." A
striking Illustration of this was over
heard on a trolley car. Two young
men were seated together In tho for
ward end of the car, and one, by his
accent nnd his nlr of guileless Inno
cence, proclaimed his British nation
ality. The other wns nn American of
tho genus kltldcr. The hitter wns di
lating upon the ferociousness of the
Jersey uiosqulto and, after relating
several very tall yarns, wound up wit!
this one:
"Last summer I was coming across
tho mendnws this side of Atlantic City
on my wheel when my attention was
attracted by tho sound of n cow bell.
It was such a strango, mutual sound
that I dismounted to Investigate, and
soon encountered n huge mosquito. It
had eaten tho cow and was ringing tho
bell to nttrnct tho calf, that ho might
devour that also.
Tho Englishman listened to this
story very gravely, nnd without wen
cracking n smile, replied:
"Oh, I sny, old chap, you cawn't ex

"CENTER OF THE EARTH."
801110 eleven miles from Delhi, Ind.,
says tho Wldo World .Magazine, stands
tho rcmarkublo Iron plllnr shown In the
nbovo photograph. It Is n solid shaft
of wrought Iron, somo 22 feet high nnd
17 Inches In dlnmeter, nnd Its origin
nnd ngo are wrapped In mystery.
Ancient Hindu mythology says that
tho spot on which tho plllnr stands Is
tho center of tho enrth, and speaks of
It as "tho arm of fame of Hnjnh Dha
va." Now, Rajnh Dhava ruled In tho early
tiik cr.NTi:n or the eahtii.
pnrt of tho second century of the Chris
tian era, and ho is referred to In tho
Sanscrit Inscriptions on the plllnr, so
that, although authorities differ on tho
subject, it Is probable thut the plllnr
dntes from this tlmo.
Considering tho appliances which
were nvnllnuio at thnt remote period

would bo Interesting to know how this
mysterious pillar was made.
Tho WrotiK Station.
It had taken considerable persuasion
to Induce the old lndy to take a seat
In nn nutomohlle, but finally sho had
consented to do so because she wns
anxious to reach tho bedside of her
sick grandchild In a village somo twen
ty miles away, tho last train for which
had left somo ten minutes beforo she
arrived at tho station. The big auto
mobile was to pass through Hamp
ton, tho village where the sick grand
child lived.
Everything went lovely until tho al
most flying vehicle, In attempting to
pass n""wngon loaded with liny which
occupied tho entire center of the road,
went unexpectedly Into the ditch, nud
rather violently deposited its occupants
in an adjoining field. v
Recovering from the shock, though
somewhat confused Trom tho rather
unusual method of alighting from n
vehicle the old lady asked of the
chagrined chauffeur:
"Is this Hampton?"
"No, ma'am," he managed to gasp,
"this is an accident"
"Oh, dear!" said tho ex-occupant of
tho vehicle, "then I hadn't oughter
have got out here, had I?"

Tho child of strict parents, whoso

nover go to a prayer meeting again in
