But The Man Who Bought it Pro ' bably Wished He Hadnt Uncle Tom Parker, who recently made one oi his periodical visits to town, tells with great glee of his ex perience in selling a horse. It seems that he had a white horse that he" didn't need particularly, and not finding a 'ready sale for the ani mal, he put a little "For Sale" adver tisement in the newspaper and waited lor results. t " . 1 White horses do not seem to be in much demand, as it was several days before Uncle Tom saw any signs of a purchaser. , One evening, however, a stranger came in Uncle Tom's gate, looking up at the house and then at a copy of a newspaper which he held in his band. This stranger wore his coat collar well turned op about his throat and a slouch hat pulled down over his face. . ! . . ' He looked as if he was worn out from fatigue, and from the appear ance of the paper which he carried it was a copy he had picked up along the road, as it was torn and soiled. Uncle Tom showed him the horse, and after some dickering about a saddle and bridle, which the stranger thought Uncle Tom ought to throw in, they struck a bargain, and the new owner of the horse mounted him and rode away in what seemed like con siderable haste. It so happened that someone had stolen a white horse in a neighbor tng country, and a handbill had been circulated throughout that part of the country asking the officers of the law to watch for the horse and arrest the thief. When the stranger struck a nearby town, a lynx-eyed sheriff spied him and jumped at the natural but not necessarily correct conclusion that this must be the stolen horse and the thief whose apprehension had been asked.'- So he arrested him and lock ed him up, notwithstanding his pro testation that he had that very day bought the white horse from Uncle Tom Parker. The next morning the sheriff sent for Uncle Tom, and when the prison er was arraigned jn court, w was promptly made plain that he had told the truth and that the horse was his own property, 1 But while the necessary prelimin aries to his release were under way, Uncle Tom called the sheriff aside and said, "Say, Sheriff, now that I see that mans face clearly, I re member him. About ten years ago, down in Fenwick I was on a jury Mrs. Fowler's Free Lectures ..At Astoria Theatre beginning Friday, Feb. 28, 8 p. m., "Electricity, the Great Elixir of Life," to all; Sunday, March 1, 2:30 p. m., to alL Phrenological examinations and health consultations given daily at Occident Hotel, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m., till March 11th.

Michael Thompson," exclaimed the sheriff, excitedly. "Why, that fellow was only let out of state's prison recently, and he immediately burglarized a bank, getting away with a large sum of money and secur ities. There's $5,000 reward for that fellow, and I guess he doesn't get away from us. Not much! So the sheriff once more gathered Mr Thompson in, but this time with more satisfactory results to every body except that unlucky individual Uncle Tom and the sheriff divided the reward between them, and in telling the story, the former said, with a sat isfied grin. "That Tor Sale' ad cost me eighty cents, and as a result I sold a horse ' saddle and bridle for $150 and got $2500 on the side. I was aays a firm believer in advertising, but if this don't make a new record I lose my guess." Whether you believe in advertising or not, you ought to try the classified advertising columns of the Morning Astorian. The results are prompt and sure and the experiment costs but little. If you have anything to sell or let, if you wish to buy, rent or exchange, if you want to hire help or get a posi tionno 'matter what your want is advertise it in the Astorian, and you will reach thousands of interested people in a manner most certain to produce quick results. . ;. A BOWL OF BITTER TEA. Himalayan Hospitality ' In a Snow .., Envopd Ho vol. : . " In spite of a poverty which limits their good Intentions the Inhabitants of central and south central Asia dis play a charming hospitality. Such, at least, is the impression gained from Mr. Ellsworth Hnntington'8 book, "The Pulse of Asia." At Matayan, a village in the prov ince of Ladakh, the habitable portion of the upper Indus valley, a friendly villager Invited Mr. Huntington to dive down from the crust which covered eight or ten feet of snow Into a one story bouse. This was at an elevation of 10,500 feet Although it was April 11, the snow, even on a level, was higher than the tops of the bouses. Where it bad been shoveled off the flat roofs it formed high banks, protecting them from the wind and making them the favorite sitting room at that season and even In winter, for the sunshine Is always warm in that dry, cloudless climate., When the little black cows bad beeu driven and pulled out of the way Mr. Huntington descended to an almost closed shed used for the two or three hardy sheep and goats and was usher ed, stooping, into a dark stable con taining a little pony, shaggy, like all the animals. Bending low once more, he climbed over a bigb sill and was In the warm, close family living room. Light and air came in through a bole In the roof a foot square surmounted by a chimney pot a foot high made of three stones set up to keep out the snow, A few bits of, .ragged cloth on the mud floor for sleeping purposes, a. half dozen metal utensils and an iron pot full of Himalayan tea, kept warm over some embers, comprised all the visible equipment for housekeeping. ' After the hxt bad persuaded Mr. Huntington to take a seat on the floor a half palsied old woman Insisted upon ladling out for him a bowl of tea. It was surprisingly good In view of the fact that a poor grade of tea leaves bad been steeped half an hour or more with milk, butter, salt and soda.' In richer houses Mr. Huntington was often served with tea which had been Improved by being churned violently in a slender, greasy black churn, twen ty Inches long by four in diameter, in order to mix the rancid butter well into the compound before it was turn ed into the drinking bowls. Plot to Murder Chicago Priest Accidentally Discovered. FATHER RENZULL0 SELECTED The First Information of the Planned Chicago Assassination Wat Given Father Reniullo in a Letter From an Italian in Chicago Heights. CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-A plot to murder a Chicago priest at the altar of his church just as Father Leo Heinrichs of Denver was slainwas hatched in Chicago and frustrated almost by chance, according to the Rev. Father E. M. Dunne, chancellor of the archdiocese. " " This information was given out by Father Dunne yesterday to prove further his contention that the mur der in St Elizabeth's chnrch in Den ver was planned by anarchistic anti- clericals in Chicago. The murder in Denver was similar in every respect to' the one planned several months nrevious. in which the Rev Father Pasquale Renzullo, pastor of St Roch's Church at Chicago, was to be the victim. 5 '.' ; Father Dunne will hold a confer ence today with Chief of Police Shippy asking for certain arrests. United States District Attorney Sims and Wm. E. Stuart, chief of postoffice inspectors, looking toward the prosecution of editors of Italian newspapers ' in which denunciatory items against clergy of the city were made.' Charges of criminal libel may also be made. Father Renzullo was for a time chancellor Dunne's assistant at the Guardian Angel (Italian) Church on Forquer street The first information of the planned Chicago assassination was given Father Ren- zulo in a letter from an Italian in Chicago Heights. The name of this man is held by Father Dunne, who claims that should the informant be known he would be found dead with a dozen knives in him before 24 hours had passed. The information secured irom the writer of the letter as to how the priest was to be killed was given to Lee H. Hook, Mayor of Chi cago Heights and the police were no tified. Men were picked for the as sassination but in some way they got wind of the intended arrests and got away., : Still fearing that harm might come to the pastor of the church two days later Mayor Hook issued a permit for Father Renzullo to carry a revol ver. .

I don't mean," he contln ned, "so much a laugh at an Inoppor tune time I Imagine we have all heard sncb laughs as a laugh the quality of which Is unpleasant There Is some thing contagions, In laughter of the right kind, even though you may, be the object of it It bubbles from the well of good burner. There Is no hid den thought, or 'arrlere pensee,' as the French say, behind It. It la the es sence of frankness; It is spontaneous and whole souled, and It cleanses the system of the laughter and, too, of the bearer, like a spiritual bath. ' ' ' " "But there are other kinds of laugh ter, The sneering laugh is perhaps the most familiar. Then there Is a quiet laugh, a sibilant, secretive sort of laugh that Is quite as certain to mean mis chief. Another laugh, disagreeable in its nature, is the high pitched, nervous cachlnnatlon that comes either from em barrassment or Is a mere vocal bablt The worst laugh of all, however,, to my mind, is that mirthless sound pro voked by the distress or embarrass ment of others, and it rasps naturally most of all the object calling it forth.

Method by Which, It la Said, the Pets ')' Are Rtgulattd. (.?,. Frequently laymen who have had oc casion to settle the bills of surgeons upon whom they have called in ex tremlties to use the knife are heard to complain against what they call "the exorbitant charges of surgeons." A skilled surgeon may charge $250 for a simple sppeudlcitls operation The patient who never thluks of com plaining until be la convalescent ob jects oftentimes to paying the bill. He says, "It la outrageous for a sur geon to charge $230 tor half an hour's work." The question of surgeons' fee often pussies a patient He knows of one man upon whom a surgeon of wide reputation baa operated and charged only 175. Ha may know of another who baa paid $1,000 for the same op eration. He cannot figure It out let surgeons of known ability and national, perhaps International, fame have a general plan in charging for operations. Their prices range from nothing to $.1,000. They will operate without any qnestion of willingness or ability to pay in any case where the situation Is imperative. Afterward they will present the bill. The general public does not understand bow a sur geon will charge one man $00, another $250 and another $5,000. ,..-- Surgeons have a fixed price scheme. They aim to charge the patient about one month's Income. They figure that any person who Is la such bad condi tion as to be forced to submit to a surgical operation surely can afford to give one mouth's income. Tbey ascer tain roughly what a man makes per month and send In a bill for that amount The man whose income I but $50 a month pays $50. The man who gets $5,000 Is asked to pay $5,000 -and generally objects, even thoogti be should know that bis life Is worth as much proportionately as that of hla poorer fellow.-Cblcago Tribune. ; Compulsory Education.

' ' ' ' DANTE'S j HUMOR. i NIM I 'I" It Is of tho Wholly Unconscious Kind and Woefully Grim. The humorous side of Dante Is ana' lysed In the Westminster Bevtow by Osorm Trobrldaw. who is a oreat ad' f mirer of the famous poet and who has In previous writings expressed bis ap preciation of Dante as a nature poet and as a novelist Although Dante's great poem Is "comedy," in the sense of being drama working to a happy ending, we do not look for ridiculous situations In It such ss we uaually associate" with the Idea of comedy. Ridiculous iltna tions occur nevertheless, and there la no lack of humor even In the poet's de scription of the sufferings of the lost Dante's humor, however, Is of the un conscious kind, arising from , a total lack of perception of the ludicrous. It Is said that be was never seen to smile, and we can, quite believe It since be never forsakes sober seriousness in his writings, and It Is his deadly earnest ness that betrays him into occasional comicality. The sinners In hell, the poet tells ns, are relegated to their proper quarters on the Judgment of Minos, who indi cates the particular circle to which the culprit is consigned by wrapping his tall so many times around his bestial body.

It is a horrible punishment which Is assigned to those guilty of simony, to be burled bead downward In a circular pit, with only the legs and feet pro truding, while, nickering flames glide oyer the soles of the latter, Inflicting exquisite torture, yet our sense of' hu mor is provoked by the description of Dante standing over one of these boles and holding a conversation with Its oc cupant, "reversed, and ,i as i; t stake driven in the soil,? while numberless legs ' wriggle In continual motion around. him, s f i H H''H Fish 8parlng by Firelight.
