BANDITS ANDTOSE
Officers in Battle With Horse
thieves in Wheeler County.
CAMPED ON THE SAME RANCH
Deputy Sheriff Is Shot In Mouth and
One of the Outlaws Receives
Bullet In the Stomach, but
Makes His Escape..
FOSSIL, Or., Augr.-C (SpeclaL) A bat
tle between a Sheriff's posse and two
horsethieves occurred near Waterman,
this county, at an early hour this morn
ing. The bandits had stolen three horses
from the ranches of A. Klnsey and Rep
resentative J. N. Burgess. The posse
struck their trail and camped last night
at the "Wilson ranch, near Waterman.
The horsethieves were also In camp at
the same place.
Early this morning the robbers started
to make off with the stolen horses and
the efforts of the officers to stop them
brought on the fight. Many shots were
exchanged, and In the melee Deputy Hugh
Shields was shot in the mouth. One of
the robbers received a bullet in the stom
ach, but it did not prevent him taking
Shields' horse and making his escape,
leaving his own at the ranch. While the
officers were looking out for their
"wounded companion, the other outlaw re
turned and secured the two stolen horses
and got away before he could be stopped.
He left one of his horses at the St. Johns
ranch and was later seen at Richmond,
"where he demanded shoes and a gun. The
wounded robber was not seen after his
flight from tho Wilson place.
The authorities of Wheeler and Wasco
Counties have each offered rewards of
$200 for the capture of the men.
FOREST FIRE IN CLACKAMAS.
Farmers Succeed In Getting It Under
Control.
OREGON CITY, Aug. 6. (Special.)
-titty rarmers In the neighborhood of
Union Mills, this county, are vigorously
lighting a forest fire that is doing con
siderable damage to farm buildings in
that section. Tho blaze started two days
age and has been burning steadily since.
Friday night the farmers managed to
save the Union Mills schoolhouse from
the flames only by working hard all
night
Jim Mallatt and H. W. Shaw are the
principal losers' because of the Are which
Is now" under control. The fire started
from the burning of brush, getting be
yond control.
Burning Within Spokane's Limits.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 6. Forest fires
within the city limits of Spokane have
"burned over nearly a. square mile of tim
ber in tho southeastern portion of the
city, and a cloudy pall has settlod
over the town, so that the Inhabitants
are moving round in gloom. Tho fire
started yesterday morning on the bluffs
south of the city, and was fought by the
residents until this afternoon. An alarm
tfien called tho Fire Department, and
despite their hardest efforts, by night
the residence districts of .Liberty Park
and the First Ward were thre: tened. A
change In the breeze and backfiring across
the .county. Toad finally, checked Its
progress
Washington Town Narrowly Escapes.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 6. But for a
lull in the wind, the whole town of Chat
teroy would have been wiped out by for
est fires. The fire reached the edge of
town and burned many piles of cordwood
piled "p for shipment. It is supposed to
have started from sparks of a Spokane
Falls & Northern train Tuesday. Many
of the families have moved their effects
into open fields, and are camping beside
them at night Since the lull in the
wind the men have backfired the woods
on all sides of the town, and it is thought
all danger is past
Fires on Sound Controlled.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 6. During the
past week forest fires have burned 640
acres at Issaquah, GOO acres at Lester,
200 acres at Snoqualmie, ICO acres at Red
mond, 140 acres at Renton Junction and
probably 1000 acres In numerous other
places all over the county. In several
places. Including Snoqualmie, Foster, Riv
erside, North Bend and along the lines
of the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific Railways the flames are still in
progress.
RUN AGAIN SLACKENS.
Falling Off in Catch of Salmon In
Lower River.
ASTORIA, Aug. 6. (Special.) Again
there has been a falling- off in the run
of salmon and the catches made last night
and today were not nearly so large as
yesterday. Still, the conditions are not
bad and thhe outlook is hopeful. The
lighter deliveries enabled all the canneries
and cold storage plants to clean up today.
some of them having their floors bare of
fish by the noon hour.
The report received yesterday afternoon
that the Baker's Bay traps were making
big catches proved to have heon mislead
ing, for while some of them did well, the
aggregate returns were not large and the
semes did not do as well as was expected.
Why tho fish have slackened off is a
question that no one is able to answer, but
every one believes that the drop off is
only temporary. Tho best argument of
fered that there will be at least one more
run is that heretofore the last big run
of each season has been followed by
large number of tules, but these have not
made their appearance as yet Instead,
the quality of tho fish remains exception
ally fine, with the eggs far from being
matured, and, strange as it may seem, the
eggs in the fish delivered this morning by
gillnetters fishing in the lower harbor
were less matured than were those in the
salmon caught several days ago.
Tho price still remains at 5 cents flat
but there is already talk of it being
placed back at the figures fixed -at tho
opening of the season, if the supply does
not show an increase by tomorrow.
ROCK SUPPLY FOR JETTY.
Ledge South of Tillamook Head May
Be Drawn Upon.
SEASIDE, Or., Aug. G. (Special.) A
party of Government and railroad engi
neers left here today on an inspection
tour for the purpose of investigating the
Immense granite beds south of Tillamook
Head. Those In the party were: W. G.
Bagnall, assistant to Major Lancfltt: L.
B. Hegardt assistant engineer at Fort
Stevens and In charge of the fort: T. H.
Curtis, chief ongineer of the Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad, and J. McGuire.
superintendent of tho road. It has been
necessary to make new preparations for
tne supplying or rock for construction of
the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, aa
the workings at Bugby will have been ex
hausted within the next few months.
The granite found to, the south of here
is of a character peculiarly adapted for
this work. In fact Mr. Bagnall pronounces
it the best they have discovered. An
other feature that is considered advan
tageous by the Government officials 1b
the shortness of the haul from this jjlace,
being only about 18 miles from the Jetty,
Instead of 25 as It Is from Bugby.
The plans will be forwarded to the
proper authorities arwashlngton, and if
accepted, will mean the extension of the
Astoria -& Columbia River Railroad to the
point some three miles south of this place.
Those having the matter in charge feel
this will be done and that the road will
be in operation next year.
NORTHWEST DEAD.
Rev. Father Benedict a Victim of
Apoplexy at Tho Dalles. ,
THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.)
Rev. Father Benedict,, a Catholic priest
residing at the farm of the Benedictine
Brotherhood, about fivo miles west 6f
The Dalles, was stricken with apoplexy
early this morning, while attending serv
ice at St Peter's Church, in this city.
Upon entering the chancel, Father Des
marals, the pastpr, discovered his con
frere lying before the altar. Medical
aid was immediately summoned, but
proved futile, Father Benedict expir
ing this afternoon. It is believed that
the early morning drive to town in the
sun after the intense heat of tho past
week brought on the attack.

cial.) Henry Wooley, who died yesterday
in Portland, was one of the early set
tlers of Washington County, crossing tho

main until his trial in September.
DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE. ,
Woman Supposed to Have Killed Her
self Is Alive and Well.
ASTORIA, Aug. 6. (Special.) Consider
able excR.ir.cnt was caused here about two
years ago, when the announcement was
made one evening that Hilda Mustola, a
young woman, -tifid mmltted suicide by
leaping Into the river from Ihe raodway
near Foard & Stokes hall, while tempor
arily lnsano through sickness. The as
sertion was made than she was seen by
two persons to jump Into the river, and
later a large reward was offered for the
recovery of her body. Searching 'parties
were organized and the river in the vi
cinity was dragged for days, but without
success.
Today a letter was received stating that
the woman is not only alive and woll, but
has since been married and is living with
her husband in Wyoming. No explana
tion is given as to how or why she left
Astoria.
Attaches Clark's Summer Home.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. Charles W.
Clark, son of Montana's millionaire Sen
ator, -was the recipient of a highly un
welcome wedding present from the Bank
of California. On Thursday afternoon
about 4 o'clock young Mr. Clark and his
bride arrived at the groom's magnificent
country seat formerly the Hobart villa,
in San Mateo. Almost at the same mo
ment the Sheriff arrived with a writ of
attachment upon the house.
Something more than two years ago
young Clark bought the magnificent coun
try home of Walter Hobart, with the 200
acres of land surrounding it All parties
to tho transaction were reticent as to tho
purchase price, but It later developed that
the sum of $200,000 was paid for the prop
erty. Now the fine property is In the
care of the Sheriff of San Mateo Coun
ty, following a suit brought by the Bank
of California to force the payment of two
'notes of $12,500 each.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 6. The Montana
Ore Purchasing Company and others filed
an answer today in the District Court to
the complaint filed by the Butte & Boston
Mining Company to recover damages In
the sum of $1,500,000. The suits now pend

$100,000 worth of property was destroyed
by a flro that swept Black Bear, a small
town hetween Wallace and Burke, Idaho.
With the exception of a dozen small cot
tages in each end of the town, which

Black Bear Hotel, and in an incredibly
short time the -whole town was ablaze.

son, tho thermometer reaching 100 in the
shade. There are no indications of rain
tonight and it is feared that the hob spell
will continue for some days yet There is
no report of injury to crops at this time.
but cattle are said to bo 'suffering in eomo
Jjrtaces.
CONTINENTAL SABBATH
TO WAT- DEGREE EUROPE
RESTS ON THE SEVENTH DAY.
London Is as Quiet as Boston Paris
Takes to Its Bois and to the
Wooded Parks.
George Grantham Bain, 4a tho Criterion.
One may appreciate the freedom of the
Continental Sabbath- the more if he comes
to it fresh from a Sunday In London.
Even Boston, where ono may not buy
fruit on Sunday, Is not moro strict .In its
observance o'fi the day than the English
capital. Truet there are things, that a
traveler may find to interest him. T re
call with . pleasant memories a trip " by
underground to Hammersmith; on top
of a 'bus by way of Kew Gardens to
Richmond; in a waterman's wherry past
Twickenham and along the picturesque
Thames, and then by 'bus again rto
Hampton Court; returning through beau
tiful Beechy Woods to London on the box
of a coach beside a "driver who might
havo stepped from a page of Dfokens.
Or another Sunday in the Long Drive
with Its wonderful vista and in tho pic
turesque castle grounds at Windsor; by
carriage to Eton's famous school, and on
to what the driver called "Stowk Pow
gls," to linger for a moment at Gray's
grave In the little churchyard of his
beautiful Elegy; andSso by train to Lon
don and the Blue Posts Inn for supper.
Londoners are great "trippers." All the
railroads sell "week-end" tickets at half
rates, and a great proportion of the pop
ulation hurries away on Saturday to bo
gone till Monday morning. But that Is
largely because London itself Is a silent
waste through all Sunday. New" York is
gay by comparison gay because we have
In a small measure transplanted the fea
tures of Continental life, and they flour
ishunder restrictions In and around
New York.
English travelers In America consider
Coney Island something unique. Its nro-
totypo Is in "Vienna, where the Wurstel
Prater offers all but its worst features
to an enormous throng from the city
every Sunday. Our open-air gardens are
to bo found in Berlin as well as in
"Vienna. But with a difference, of course.
In the German capital one may sit at a
table In Kroll's Garden or in one of the
string of restaurants in tho Zelten, or in
the huge " open-air resort of the Zo
ological Garden, and order a glass of
beer or wine without evasion or subter
fuge. One of our ways of observing the Sab
bath s to abstain from unnecessary
work. The law compels it In every
Continental city one" may work or not on
Sunday as he chooses. In Paris the
cheaper "department stores" are open to
Sunday business and do a lively trade.
So they are In Berlin. The smaller shop
keepers in Paris close their doors when
they go to church. After service they
keep open for tho remainder of the day
and perhaps tho evening. One finds the
bijouterie shops In -the Rue de RIvoll
watching for casual customers until 9
or 10 o'clock.
Paris begins Its Sabbath rathor late;
Berlin very early. There are National
contrasts In the observance of the day,
though internationally there is freedom
to enjoy It The Parisian rises late on
Sunday, has his coffee and roll while
still in bed, and perhaps reads his morn
ing paper before rising.
London, by the way, has no morning
papers worth mentioning on Sunday; so
ono may not have there even the enter
tainment of knowing what tho world is
doing.
For the churchgoer, the Paris Sabbath
may begin according to his preference
for late or early mass. The great bulk
of the population of Paris goes to church
on Sunday. Until tho noon hour "the
streets see few but the churchgoers; but
the great boulevards are comparatively
quiet It is afternoon the hour of the
"breakfast with a fork" that the Paris
Sunday becomes lively. Its liveliness is
wholly orderly. It seeks expression for
the most part in tho open air if the day
Is fine. The 20,000 little victorias or voi
tures, which are the chief means of con
veyance, find constant occupation.
Streams of pedestrians flow through tho
Place de la Concordo and out the Champs
Elysees to tho JBoIs de Boulogne. -Throngs
of men and women and children fill the
little Iron seats" along the drivoway and
watch the gay crowd passing. The little
old woman who collects 2 cents each for
the rental of theso chairs is kept busy.
Booths where children's toys are sold do
a thriving trade. Punch and Judy has a
large audience; the children's playground
just behind tho line of booths Is quite
filled with prettily dressed little boys
and girls In charge of their "nounous"
plcturesqUe nurses in ail-enveloplng
cloaks of plaids or solid colors, with
broad, .bright ribbons hanging down their
backs. The little boys and girls play
with rubber balls or dig In the sand.
They are not noisy a French child sel
dom is. They are being brought up to
a code of manners. Neither are the
crowds of men and women In the car
riages or in the chairs boisterous. That
is, unless one sees hero and there the
American traveler of a certain type,
whose exuberance finds expression in
noise.
In the beautiful Bois de Boulogne cease
less streams of carriages flow up and
down the driveways. The- open-air res
taurants are filled with men and women,
sipping tholr wine or their sugar-water
or their liqueur or coffee. A game of
football is going on ia an open space.
Family parties, carefully carrying their
folding-chairs so that tney may save the
2-cent rental on tho public seats, are
picnicking In the woods. Tired men who
have walked from the city lie down in
the grass, their hats pulled over their
eyes, and sleep, whilo their ohildren play
about them. One may see something of
this in Central Park, but not the same
unrestrained disposition to make the Sab
bath, after its religious observance, a
day of pleasure.
In the suburbs of Paris one finds small
circuses in noisy 'operation; a group ol
swings with a Red Cross tent signifi
cantly near. The captlvo balloon goes up
every ten minutes, freighted with a load
of half-frightened humanity.
There is, -of course, the jarring note
here and there. In the throng of orderly
people who fill the Seine boats on the
way to the river resorts one may find
now and then a maiywho has had too
much wine or absinthe or brandy.
The Berliners are not a devout people,
and they are an early rising people.
Hence their Sunday begins much earlier
than that of the Parisians. At 6 o'clock
the noise of a hurrying crowd fills "Unter
deh Linden. The German family Is go
ing for its excursion. It goes in all tho
circumstance of Sunday attire, laden with
baskets. Sometimes it goes by wagon,
often on foot more frequently by street
car. Its objective Is the country. Those
who find their entertainment in tho -city
make a later start. At 2 o'clock ono
finds the electric cars crowded. Excur
sion boats, too, are filled with family par- I
ucs going 10 x rep low. xne ascendency
of the family In tho social arrangements
of the Germans is sometning remarkable.
Always in the crowds of pleasure-seekers
are the father and mother and the
children, down to the baby In arms; and
more than likely the grandfather and
grandmother as well. '
There Is a curious feature of life in Ber
lin which one notices chiefly on Sunday.
In the suburbs qf the city are great
stretches of ground laid out in small
plots as kitchen gardens. On each of
these plots Is a little wooden hut usually
having one room. There may bo a porch
surrounding this little structure. Above
it floats a flag. Each of tho little plo.ts
belongs to a Berliner. Here he raises a
small crbp of vegetanles. Hero he comes
on Sunday and cares for his plants and
smokes his pipe and sits -with his family
in shirt-sleeves-content under tho shadow
of his little Summer house.
y (But this is only one way of enjoying
the Sabbath. Off in the woods of Trep-
tow are open-air shows and gardens where
tables are spread "under the trees, and
whero one may order a glass of beer and
spend the' whole afternoon drinking it
while he talks to his neighbor.
But not all of Berlin has gone to Tr'ep
tow to spend Sunday. , There is the Thier
garten that- beautiful park miscalled an
animal garden wJie're tho walks and
drives are crowded all through tho, after
noon. Tho artificial lake is thick with
boats flying the flags of all nations. On
the river, which runs through the garden,
are other boaling partlesr
But the greatest crowd is found in the
beer gardens. First comes Kroll's facing
the Koenlg's Platz and just opposite the
Reichstag. One has difficulty finding an
"empty table there on a bright Sunday af
ternoon. It Is of the general type of Ger
man beer garden, with gravel walks,
passing iron tables; set around with wood
en chairs. At One end is -a pavilion with
a fine military band playing selections
that range from Beethoven to Sousa,
A little farther on. is the Zelten a suc
cession of beer gardens, each with its own,
band, competing noisily for supremacy of
sound; whllo hundred's, unable to get near
the tables, stand outside on the asphalt
and try to distinguish one selection from
the other.
Lastly, at the other end of the Thler
garten, ono comes to the Zoological Gar
den", where tho greatest open-air concert
in the world Is given every Sunday In
Summer. One may stand oh an elevation
here and look over a sea of heads, ranged
around tables thousands .of tables while
a slow, thick current moves along the
pathways, and on three islands rise band
pavilions. It takes three 'military bands
playing, alterpately in different parts of
tho grounds to entertain this enormous
throng. While the bands play, tho audi
ence drinks beer or coffee, the women
knit or do' embroidering, tho men smoke.
There is no disorder, no drunkenness, no
rowdyism. The crowd remains until even
ing, eating a simple supper of sausages
and ryo bread and the Inevitable beer.
At 9 o'clock yqu meet in the main drives
of the Thiergarten wagonloads of merry
makers returning, singing, from the coun
'try. The bands in tho Zelten aro playing
louder than ever. From Kroll's Garden
as you pass floats the sound of ragtime
the Kuchen-tanz, the Germans call It In
Unter den Linden and in tho Friedrlch
strasse tho cafes, which open directly on
the" sidewalk, are quite full of men and
wopaen drinking beer nnd Rhine wine or
chocolate and eating llttlo cakes. The
streets are thronged. Droschkies many,
carrying six where three were intended
to ride are flying up and down the as
phalt Up to your hotel room como tho
click-click of. the horses' hoofs and the
shuffle of thousands .of feet At 8 o'clock,
if you' are still awake, you will still heal
the voices of returning revelers. Berlin
takes its pleasure very seriously and very
long-drawn out
On Sunday afternoon all "Vienna hur
ries to the Prater. It is the fashionable
drive, and it is the pleasure resort of the
common peoplo as well. At the very enU
trance of Its long driveway Is "Venice in
Vienna" a sort of Luna Park with bands
and gondolas and big wheels and tho In
variable tables and chairs and beer. Just
beyond are the Three Coffee Houses a
succession of beer gardens where military
bands play good music all afternoon and
evening. Austria and Germany are both
fortunate in having such fine musical or
ganizations. In Vienna or Berlin one may
hear, at the price of a glass of beer or
possibly a few cents' admission fee, the
work of" the beit German and Austrian
musicians sympathetically played. If one
prefers he may stand outside the Three
Coffee Houses and hear tho music for
nothing.
Tho fashionable crowd which frequents
tho Prater spends part of the afternoon
going up and down the long driveway,
passing and ropasslng it3 friends. Beyond
the Prater a little way is the racecourse,
and Sunday is tho fashionable day to at
tend the races. Or one may drive to the
Molkerel in the direction of the Danube,
where there is the usual array of out-of-door
tables. But the refreshment here Is
milk and coffee and chocolate, with little
Vienna cakes, served by aproned women.
It is a great rendezvous, the- Molkerel,
and one may see some very elegantly
dressed men and women there and a
great many who are not so elegant When'
ono has driven up and down the driveway
for another hour ono may turn aside to
Sacher's restaurant which lies out of
range of the Prater's noise, between the
Three Coffee Houses and the Wurstel Pra
ter. There are little round tents In Sach
er's garden, each enclosing a single table,
electric lighted In the evening, and there
are open tables under the trees. In the
pavilion very' likely a dancing party . is
being given Sunday afternoon.
But probably the most uniquo thing
about the Prater Is the resort of tho com
mon people the Wurstel Prater, as it is
called. We havo many of Its features, as
I havo said, at Coney Island. But except
in Budapest, where there is a tame imita
tion of It, all Europe knows not Its like.
A broad driveway at one corner of the
Prater passes a series of sideshows and
restaurants. In the restaurant are Tyro
lean singers, pantomlmTstsr acrobats, giv
ing free entertainment to those who sit
down long enough to drink a glass of
beer. Before the sideshows men cry the
attractions of tho two headed girl and
exhibit the "'smallest man In tho world"
for a brief moment as an earnest of what
Is within. The restaurants are thronged;
great crowds listen to the x showman's
harangue. Up and down the driveway
moves .a crowd of good-natured people,
made picturesque here and there by a
Bohemian woman in short colored skirts
and heavy boots. The noiso of opposing
bands, of shouting showmen, of vocalists,
of tho chattering, laughing throng is
great Here and there a policeman guides
traffic. He. Is not needed to preserve the
peace. For of all orderly crowds. the
Sundaylthrong in Vienna is easily the
best ' 3Kt
There isYa quick thinning out of the
crowd by 9fo'clock. Vienna has a curfew
law. One may stay out as late as he
pleases;" but If he stays beyond 10 o'clock
he must pay a fee to the porter who lets
him In. Tho greater part of the, Sunday
crowd has disappeared before that hour,
but there are still enough patrons to keep
the more popular resorts busy till mid
night This is the Continental Sabbath as ono
finds It in the chief cities of Europe. Rome
gives up most of the day to pleasure ex
cursions. In St Petersburg there Is not
much merry making but St. Petersburg
is never a merry city. The Swiss of the
smaller cities spend their Sundays at the
Kurhaus.

Qddities and Curios
vThe Millionaire Machinist.
N my time," said an old broker,
"machinery was abhorrent to men
fashion. Black grease, "befouled
of
"hands, revolving wheels and the ugly
odor of oil were things unknown in
good society.
"Consider the change.
"The motor car, the naphtha launch,
the automobile boat and the motor cy
cle have mado machinists of us all. It
is as needful for a millionaire today to
be wise about spark plugs, oil cups and
battery wires as it was needful for him
in tho past to 'be wise about cobs, hack
neys and hlghsteppers. .
"Machinery plays so big a part in the
luxuries of modern life that a rich man
today is proud of being a good ma
chinist, Just as he would have been
proud ten years ago of being a good
fencer or a good horseback rider."-
A New Kind of Samples.
tfyjTHIS is a marvelous age we live in,"
B said a theatrical manager, "and
Its marvelousness was brought homo
to me forcibly last week.
"I had written to a French tenor and
asked him what he would take' to come
over here and sing next season. His re
ply consisted of a letter and two cylin
ders. " 'I will come for $300 a week,' the let
ter said, 'and I forward In another pack
age samples of my voice and of my
acting.
"The larger cylinder was a phono
graphic record of one of tho man's solos.
The smaller one was a moving picture
film of him singing the solo.
"I took the two cylinders to a dealer,
and one wo put in a phonograph, the
other In a moving-picture machine. Then
we darkened the room, and wo started
tho machlno and the phonograph simul
taneously. By Jove, sir, the actor might
havo been present personally. There he
was on the screen, walking up and down
the stage and gesticulating, and there
was his voice issuing In sonorous notes
from the big phonograph horn.
" 'I love her, he ' sang, and his hand
went to his ieart. 'Don Diego I'll slay,'
and he drew a dagger. 'The stars above
her,' and he pointed heavenward. In
deed, it was a perfect representation. I
got from it as satisfactory an Idea of the
man's talent as I could havo gotten If
he had v'slteJ me.
"Manufacturers for generations .have
been sending out samples of. tholr goods,
but only of late has It been possible for
operatic tenors to send out samples."
Momentous Discovery and Its Sequel.
66 "IP ini most momentous discovery in
our history was trumpeted to the
world about 20 y9ars ago," said an elder
ly astronomer. "It was the discovery that
.there Is life upon the -planets."
He smiled.
"This discovery," ho said, "was an
nounced to tho scientific world by a Ger
man. The man said, in brief, this:
" 1 took a meteorite that had fallen
near my town, and I cut tho stone into
thin, transparent strips that could be
examined under the microscope.
" 'I studied these strips, one" by one,
with a powerful lena, and in nearly every
strip I found the fossilized remains of
little Insects similar to our coral in
sects. " 'Thus I have proved, from the pres
ence of insect remains In meteorites, that
there is life whore meteorites come from.
It is noyr no longer possible for us to
consider the universe of stars and plan
ets uninhabited.' "
Tho astronomer laughed.
"Naturally," he said, "this announce
ment set all of us scientists- to studying
meteorites. "We, in our turn, cut the me
teorites up into strips, and wo in our
turn directed upon them the most pow
erful microscopic lenses.
"In vain. Wo found neither coral nor
any other kind of Insects. "What had
looked like coral to the German we
proved to be, in reality, only a certain
sort of effiorescont rock.
"Then the scientific world, in a thou
sand magazine articles, ridiculed and re
viled and hooted at the German; and he,
poor fellow, came out humbly with a
retraction, admitting that he had been
mistaken, after all.
"Tho German, it seems, was only on

A Dog Story.
They wero discussing the marvelous
power whereby lost dogs find their way
home unerringly from great, distances.
The clergyman In tho party leaned over
and patted the muzzle of his bull terrier.
"Here is a dog," he said. "that, getting
lost, got home again In tho strangest way
you ever heard of.
"Vixen and I are constant companions
In .town. "We are together all day, and on
account of my lame foot we always ride
in hansoms. Vixen seldom walks, but
every morning you may see her in a han
som on Fifth avenue, and every after
noon you may see her In another hansom
on Broadway.
"Well, one day she got lost how I don't
know. At any- rate she was lost from 8
o'clock In the morning until 7 o'clock in
the evening, and she came back home, as
largo as life, in her hansom, like any
lady.
"The driver of the hansom said he was
standing in front of Sherry's, when he
saw Vixen jump Into his carriage and seat
herself on the cushions calmly.
" 'Here, get out o that. he said.
"But Vixen, without moving, gavo an

" 'Get out, he repeated, drawing nearer.
"She barked again.
"Now the driver perceived that she was
no ordinary street cur. He patted her on
the back. Her handsome collar caught his
eye, and he read on it her name and her
address.
" 'You're mighty far from home, dog
gie,' he said. 'I believe you are lost. On
a chance I'll drive you to this here street
and number, and maybe there'll be a ten
spot In the job for me.' "
"He drove Vixen home, and out of tho
job he made two ten-spots."
The clergyman laughed.
"Did you over hoar a stranger dog
Vixen, anyway? What do you think of a
little dog that, when she gets lost, just
takes a hansom home?"
Physician's Funny Fee.
Philadelphia Record.
"The queerest fee I ever had offered
me was by an old farmer up in Mon
roe County," said a prominent physi
cian who Is also something of a sports
man. "I was up there last year for tho
trout fishing, and one evening I waa
summoned from the hotel where I was
stopping to attend an old woman in
tho neighborhood who had suddenly
been taken ill. After I had fixed her
up her husband said to me: 'Doc, I
don't know what your charge is, but I
ain't got no ready cash about me. I'll
tell you what I'll do, though. See that
well over there? There's one of the
finest trout that you ever see in that
there well, art' if you can catch him
he's yourn.' I had no tackle with me,
and as I had to return to the city next
morning I missed the opportunity to
collect my fee."
