"I could hear tho bono in his wrist snap," said a man who was describ ing an nccldcnt to a group of men. "Oh, cut It out, for heaven's sake!" called out one of tlic group, nc was n big fellow, but ho was as white as a sheet. The speaker laughed Jcerlngly. "I didn't know you were so chicken heart ed," he said. The big man began to explain. "I'm not what you would call a timid sort of person, but the mention of any In Jury to the wrist always turns mo faint. I can stand seeing blood flow or hear thrilling tales of broken limbs and smashed heads, but I can't stand any wrist stories. I don't know the reason. It seems to be mcroly a mat ter of temperament." A quiet little man came to the res cue. "I know Just what you mean," he said. "You're not the only one who has a peculiar aversion to a certain sort of injury. Now, my particular aversion is on account of trouble with the eyes. Immediately I begin to blink nnd wink and my eyes smart until I can't stand It. I'd rather hear nn account of a brutal murder than any description of nn eye disease." Tho man who had Jeered at the big man had been thinking. "I have one of those aversions, too, now I comqgto think of It," ho said. "It is accounts of paralytic shocks, to which I particular ly object. I feel myself growing numb nil over when I hear such talcs, nnd I always make nn excuse to get away as soon as possible." Ills remark was a signal for a uni versal confession. One acknowledged that the sight of blood gave him a sen sation of extreme nausea; another said that reading or hearing of a fracture of the skull gave him " a gone feeling nt his stomach," and another said he shivered so his teeth chattered every time he heard an account of an opera tion for appendicitis. Tho big man was triumphant. "Well, I'm not such a big baby after nil," he said. New York Tribune. FEAR IN BATTLE. Frederick the Great Ran Away, and Grant Was Afraid. Some of tho greatest soldiers whose names adorn history's pages entered their first battles with a feeling of fear in their hearts. Frederick the Great simply lost his head at the battle of Molwltz. nad ho not been a king It Is safe to say that he would have been shot at the next sunrise. In the heat of tho car nage he got an idea that the army un der his command was being over whelmed, so ho put the spurs to his horse and dashed headlong among his soldiers. He rodo many miles before ho stopped in his wild flight. Late at night he was discovered hiding In an old mill, awaiting, as ho thought, cap ture by the euemy. Then he discover ed that the army ho deserted had won the battle. As Frederick was a prince, every body tried to forget the incident Just as quickly as possible. And after that when tho king went to war ho was Just ns brave as any other soldier. 'General Grant in his memoirs tells us that, despite tho fact that ho was not new to tho ways of war, he had a strango fear In his heart when ns com mander of the Union forces he found himself on tho eve of his first battlo of the civil war. Ho adds, however, that he came to find that "tho other fellow" had a similar feeling. In American history there Is no moro reckless warrior than the dashing Light Horse Harry Lee. It seems strange, therefore, to And that at tho outset of tho Continental struggle Washington had to reprove him for his "prudence" in battle. Leo, though, up and told Washington that he was Just as bravo as the general In chief, and he made good his word. Cleveland Plain Dealer. All's Fair In War. "A tenderfoot oneo visited Tin Can," said a westerner, "and watched with interest tho poker play. From saloon to saloon ho passed. Everything was wide open and very gay and lively. "But as be looked on at a poker gamu that had no limit tho tenderfoot suddenly frowned. Ho had seen tho dealer slip himself four aces from tho bottom of tho pack. "Gracious powers," whispered tho tenderfoot, excitedly clutching tho sleevo of tho man next him, "did you notice that?" "Notice what?" said tho other. "Why, that scoundrel in tho red shirt Just dealt himself four aces." "The other looked at tho tenderfoot calmly. " 'Well, wasn't It his deal?' ho said." Washington Star. The Sundowner. A "swagman" or "swaggie" so called from tho "swag" or personal luggago wrapped up in a blanket strapped to his back is a genuine Aus tralian traveler in search of work, but a "sundowner" Is the antipodean pro fessional tramp. The sundowner strolls from one squatter's station to another, always taking care to arrive at sunset, for it Is tho traditional prac tice of Australian squatters to glvo food and shelter to all comers for tho night. Kansas City Independent. Respecting Her Oath. "Judge, will you do mo a great fa vor?" asked tho lady who was about to bo put upon tho stand as a witness. "Certainly, miss. What Is It?" "Will you please abk mo my ago be foro I tuko tho oath?" Youkcrs States man. Yes, money talks; but its favorite re mork Is goodby. Indianapolis-Star.
