M.WHAT MORS M NEEDED
DONE WITH SLOT MACHINES.
What a Stranger Got for a Fanny at an
Elevated Boatd Station.
At the Congress street elevated sta
tion at evening during a rush a man,
evidently a stranger, came along and
halted in front of the machine which
offers a stick of gum for one penny
shoved into the slot. This man, says a
Chicago paper, carried an overcoat, a
large valise and an umbrella. He evi
dently figured out in his mind that it
would be a good idea to take some gum
home with him. So he took out a pen
ny, but held it for a moment as if loath
to part with it. lie knew that the
penny was good, it was 'backed by a
good government, but he appeared to
be doubtful as to the quality of the
gum.
The throng of people jostled him and
the train gong was sounded. Carefully
he selected a slot, and still more care
fully did he insert the coin into the
small opening. It went about three
fourths of the way in and stuck. He
grabbed hold of the machine and shook
it. The penny remained stuck fast.
He put down his luggage, his coat and
umbrella, took out a new knife, opened
a hawk blade and with it strove to re
cover his money.
The people ran against him, swore at
him, almost knocked him down. He
broke the blade of his knife, and just
then a man hurrying to catch a train
stumbled over the valise, got his foot
hung in the armhole of the overcoat,
plunged forward, kicked the valise
open and smashed a bottle of horse
liniment.
The man dropped his knife and ran
after his valise, and when he gathered
up the fragments of his baggage and
his torn coat he returned to the slot
machine to find that some one had
stolen his knife. But he didn't swear.
He simply said: "And they call this
civilization."
DOG AND COYOTE.
Th. Hunt.d Wolf at Last Tarns Upon
the Honnds.
There were three of us in a wagon
driving from Springdale, on the rail
road, to Hunter's Hot Springs, Says the
Northwest Magazine. We had forded
the slough that during the season of
high water in the Yellowstone cut off
the approaches to the bridge the water
filling the wagon box and taking the
horses almost off their feet at times in
the swirl of the current. One of the
dogs from the hotel joined us on terra
firma a mild-faced yellow cur with no
fighting qualities. He was trotting
along on the road a few rods ahead of
the horses when there came lop
ing across the open country a big
coyote, making straight for him.
Away went the dog and after him the
wolf. The dog made a stand and took
a nip at the wolf; then the wolf ran
and the dog pursued, but as soon as
the dog had overtaken his enemy he
changed his mind about attacking him
and turned back. Now the wolf gained
courage and took up the chase, running
the yellow cur clear up to the porch of
the hotel at the springs.
The party in the team got a good
deal of fun out of the novel, turn-about
hunt. Mendenhall, the landlord,
whipped up the team and we bounced
along at a tremendous pace, shouting:
"go it wolf" and "go it dog." Tho
landlord yelled encouragement to
Stub, the dog, but Stub had no mind
for a tussle with the sharp-toothed,
long-nosed brute, and was happy to
gain the shelter of the hotel. The
coyote trotted off across the hills.
"What things a fellow will see when he
hasn't his gun with him," remarked
one of the men in the wagon.
WELCOME THIEVES.
Titos. Who Are Able to Pay Wall for
What Tbey Steal.
"What do you do with kleptoma
niacs?" was the question recently put
to the proprietor of a large shop.
"We send them bills for what they
take when wc know them. If they are
strangers, we act according to circum
stances. A few days ago a lady was in
the shop with her daughter a beauti
ful little girl of twelve years. The
girl was seen slipping a roll of costly
ribbon into her satchel. We spoke to
the mother, who became indignant.
She opened the satchel to convince us
that we were mistaken, when it was
found to contain three lace handker
chiefs, two pairs of gloves, and the rib
bon. All these articles had been ap
propriated." "That was a plain case of stealing.
What did you do?"
"Well, we took the things back and
said nothing. We can't afford to ar
rest wealthy people and injure our
trade by making enemies among our
rich cusomers."
"You were speaking of sending out
bills for stolen goods; are they ever
paid?"
"Always where the person is a klep
tomaniac. We never have any trouble
in that way. I have known of shops
which kept a regular list of kleptoma
niacs. Whenever they lost anything
they sent bills to all of them. As they
all settled for the stolen goods, you
can imagine that the business was a
profitable one, can't you?"
Economy and Artlflea.
The duchess of Buckingham, in her
"Glimpses of Four Continents," tells an
amusing Maori story belonging to the
period when these natives were at war
with England. All sorts of tricks
went on, such as are not only fair but
commendable in war. When the Maoris
were in want of bullets they used to
show a dummy in the bush; of course,
it was immediately fired at. A man in
the background pulled it down by a
string. "Oh!" thought the British sol
diers, "we've done for him." Up came

the dummy again, cautiously; bang!
bang! went the British rifles. Down
fell dummy, and this went on till some
worse marksman than usual cut the
dummy's rope. No Maori would go up
the tree to splice it, for that exposure
meant certain death. The bullets were
all taken out of a little earth bank
which the Maoris had made behind the
tree where the dummy appeared, and
were used over again. It was a long
time before this artifice wa9 discovered.
THE CURFEW IN CANADA.
It Means That Children Must lie Under
the Parental Roof at Nine O'clock.
The curfew tolls the knell t f parting
day sometimes at eight iind sometimes
at nine o'clock in several of the towns
in this province, says the Toronto Mail,
It no longer means "lights out," but is
simply a summons to little boys and
girls to take themselves oif the street
to the shelter of the domestic roof,
where their sphere of danger, of bad
company and of mischief will be nar
rowed, while fuller scope will be given
to their capacity for rest. The curfew
bell might be looked upon as a piece of
socialistic presumption on. the part of
the municipality, as an encroachment
on the inalienable private right of the
head of the family to order the affairs
of his own household. But the moral
sense of the town will wink at this el
bowing aside of the parent by the mu
nicipality. The parent who is jealous
of his prerogative as the ruler of his
children fails to exercise that preroga
tive and delegates it to the town when
he allows them to be a public nuisance
and such a worry to the public.
The police should not be called upon
to render service as nurses to truant
officers. They should be left free to
keep adults out of mischief. There is
no more vexatious, tantalizing duty
than that of keeping track of a com
pany of mischievous boys. They are
likely to absorb the attention of any
policeman who has them on his beat.
Consequently, older and worse offend
ers are given a freer hand. Nor is
there anything that demoralizes a po
liceman more than that kind of serv
ice. He is apt to lose his interest in
larger game and sink into a spy on the
conduct of urchins, who will then
make it a point to fill up his time with
larks and escapades. The curfew
tends to take this strain oft the police.
SOUTHERN SQUIRKEL HUNTERS
Primitive Habits and Customs of Lonlsl
ana Nimrods.
' 'I have been among the squirrel hunt
ers," said a gentleman who had just re
turned from his vacation, according to
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The
squirrel hunters are a peculiar people
inhabiting the southwestern countiei
of Mississippi and adjoining Louisiana
parishes. They have been living there
for generations and preserve the prim
itive customs and habits of their fore
fathers. "The squirrel hunter is doubtless a de
scendant of Kentucky settlers, for they
are all tall, stately people, and great
lovers of the hunt. But there is now
little large ga me to be found, and so they
spend their time hunting the squirrel,
which is also scarce. The squirrel
hunters are farmers, but raise little ex
cept corn. The fine-hill region, where
they live, is not penetrated by rail
roads, and there are hundreds of such
people who have never seen a steam
engine. I saw a great many of the
oldest squirrel hunters of the country,
and found them to be a very strange
looking people. They all wear long
hair, which often reaches down to
their belts. Their beards, too, are
long, often matted with their hair.
They wear homespun pantaloons and
homemade shoes. Their shirts are
oftentimes made from the skins of
squirrels, which they wear in the win
ter, while in summer they wear an
open blouse shirt, also of home make.
Their houses are made of pine logs, be
tween whieli mud is placed as a pos
tering. These houses are covered with
pine boards split from the woods.
There are never any inclosures about
their homes, their yards opening out
into the pine forest.
"These squirrel hunters, while they
have no churches, are a very religions
people, though a great deal of supersti
i ion is connected with their worship.
Their churches are made of boughs of
pine, placed upon a scaffolding, to keep
out the sun. Now and then a country
revival is held in these arbor-houses,
but this is seldom."
ABOUT EMBLEMS.
The Slgnlfleanee nf Many of Tbem Shroud
ed in Mystery.
What the learned Dr. Aiken once
called "A Visible Image of an Invisible
Thing," in fact the emblem, has so lit
tle record in modern times, that even
the encyclopedias give concerning it
only the dictionary definition.- Yet
two centuries ago it formed the subject
for the work of some of the best
writers, painters and engravers of Eu
rope; while antiqui'ty has illustrated it
in a myriad of forms, the meaning of j
which is in thousands of instances lost j
to us in the mystery and darkness that j
oversnadows the history of so much of
human life.
Any object which presents at a
glance a meaning beyond its mere ap
pearance is an emblem. The torch for
Illumination, the scales for Justice, the
anchor for Hope, the owl for Wisdom,
the butterfly for the Soul, the scythe
and hour-glass for death. The first at
tempt at writing was emblematical,
and Chinese writing is so to this day.
So were the Egyptian hieroglyphics
and the same can be said of our own
Indian picture writing.
All coinage, from the first ncbrew
shekel to the last American dollar; all
the Sags of all nations; all state or na
tional seals, are emblematical of some
thing. The cross, the crown, the seep- j
ter, the miter, every church steeple in
every land, mosque, minaret and pago- j
da, temple and shrine, idol and fetish,
all are emblems. I
Every letter in every language, every
figure, the sign of every trade and pro
fession, the roses of England, the lilies
of France, Ireland's shamrock and
Kootlnnd's thistle, are all emblems.
And yet, strangely ftnough, it is only j
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
out even the least about the origin of
this class of art, the meaning of its
varied forms, the hidden sense being
often lost utterly while only the form
remains.
A TERRIBLE HAWK.
An Enemy That Strikes Terror to Feath
ered Dernizens of the Hush.
The author of "The Naturalist in La
Plata" gives an impressive description
of the terror produced by the appear
ance of a rather small hawk, of a spe
cies unknown to him, although he has
seen it a hundred times. It is a marsh
hawk. That is to say it seeks its prey
in marshes.
I have frequently seen all the inhabi
tants of a marsh struck with panic, act
ing as if demented and suddenly grown
careless to all other dangers. On such
occasions I have looked up, confident of
seeing this particular hawk suspended
above them in the sky.
All birds that happen to be on the
wing drop into the reeds or water as if
shot. Ducks away from the shore
stretch out their necks horizontally
and drag their bodies, as if wounded,
into closer cover. Not one bird is found
bold enough to rise and wheel about
the marauder a usual proceeding in
the case of other hawks; while at every
sudden stoop of the falcon a low cry of
terror rises from the birds underneath
a sound expressive of an emotion so
contagious that it quickly runs like a
murmur all over the marsh, as if a
gust of wind had swept moaning
through the rushes.
As long as the falcon hangs overhead,
always at a heightof about forty yards,
threatening at intervals to dash down,
this murmuring sound, made up of
many hundreds oi individual cries, is
heard swelling and dying away, and .
occasionally, when he drops lower than
usual, it rises to a sharp scream of ter
ror. Sometimes, when I have been riding
over marshy ground, one of. these
hawks has placed himself directly over
my head, within fifteen or twenty
yards. It has perhaps acquired the
habit of following horsemen in this
way, in order to strike at any birds
driven up.
Once my horse almost trod on a
couple of snipe squatting, terrified, in
tho short grass. The instant they rose
the hawk struck at one of them, the
end of his wing smiting my cheek vio
lently as he stooped. The snipe escaped
by diving under the bridle, and im
mediately dropped on the other side of
me; and the hawk, rising, ilew away.
EARLY MARRIAGES.
Reason Why Bnch Are to He Regretted
Here and lu Kurope.
Though in this country early mar
riages are less frequent than in Europe,
because here the occupations of wom
en are so numerous that nearly
every young woman can maintain
herself respectably by earning her
own living, whilo in Europe the
same class find matrimony almost
the only avenue through which
they enn escape from a dependent po
sition at home, says the Boston Her
ald. It is none the less important to
know that the marriages contracted
before the parties have reached DO are
to be regretted. The reasons are that
the offspring of women who are mar
ried before 1M inherit the imperfect
physical development of their mothers
and do not reach mature life with
strong constitutions. The healthiest
offspring are born to mothers between
20 and 80, who are united to husbands
between 80 and 40, and it has been
found in Europe, where early marriages
are very common, that the deaths
of children from weak constitutions
are twice as large among the children
whose mothers were under 20 years of
age as they were among the children
of mothers who were over M. Taw

PURE
port after they have attained a mar
riageable age.
Dr. Cyrus Edson, in the North Amer
ican, gives important statistics to show
that, although in this country the evil
of early marriages is not so great as it
might be, the number of brides under
80 who were married in New York city
in 1891 was 2,889: in 1898 it was 5,959.
The number of grooms under 20 years
of age in New York city for that year
was 145. By far the greater number of
brides are reported to have been 85 or
26 when they were married,, which is a
healthy showing for an American city,
and New York is probably a fair
evidence for the age of brides in other
large towns and cities. In Hungary
the girls become women at the age of
18, and in that country 15 per cent of
the marriages shows the brides to be
under 20 years of age, and in England
13 per cent, are under that age. In
America girls are practically free to
marry when they please and the in
stinct of self-preservation has guarded
them well.
IT WAS NO CAT.
That Malodorous Kipertence of Two Un
sophisticated l'olieemen.
Two policemen were trudging along
their beat on Pequot avenue, in the
heart of New London, at a late hour
the other night, says the Boston Her
ald, and they were not hunting at all
not scenting game at any rate when a
thickset looking cat sauntered along
the sidewalk, clad in a gay striped
suit fashionable in country walks at
this season.
"Kitty! Kitty!" called one patrolman,
kindly. "Come here, kee-eety!" and
then he tapped the stranger gently
with the tip of his night stick.
But it was not a cat in the least not
a cat of the kind they were used to
and it grossly and basely abused their
confidence, and so they fairly ham
mered the stuffing out of the ungrate
ful beast, both men did.
In fact it seemed as if they could
never get their fill of satisfaction out of
it, so brimful of indignation and resent
ment and other emotions and things
were they; and then they bore the frail
remains of their prey into the police
station with more deference than ten
derness. But tho police captain temporarily
excused them from doing further duty
in the populous and cultured walks of
the town, and nightly now they patrol
a lonesome and sequestered picket in
the far outskirts, and relations are
strained between them and the rest of
their fellow-citizens.
A New View of the Ox.
"A railroad train that I was on the
other day," said a man, "went with a
rush and a roar across a little bridge
under which at that moment there was
a man driving an ox team. A moment
later as we rushed on we saw the team
out on the road, the oxen jumping and
skipping and apparently trying to run
away. The driver was standing in the
cart and swinging his goad around and
bringing it down on them with vigor
ous whacks; finally he checked 'em. I
don't pretend to know much about oxen,
maybe they're given to running away,
but to me it was a new view of the dull
and plodding ox."
Literal Snakes In the Wine.
Snakes and lizards have hitherto
been generally regarded as the effect
rather than the cause of stimulants.
According, however, to the official re
port drawn up by the British consul at
I'akhoi and submitted to the English
parliament, an immense quantity of
dried lizards have, during the last two
years, been shipped from that Chinese
port for use in the adulteration of
wines in Europe and America.
Tiik police census of Brooklyn's un
employed shows that there are 50,076
persons out of work. The division as
to sex is us follows: Male, 40,088; fe
male, ft,!)H8. The number of families
