SAVED BY A GLOVE BUTTON.
Moments That Were JTuU of Peril and
Seemed Like Honrs.
How much may depend upon a glove
fastening was illustrated at one of the
Monjion slate quarries in an adventure
which the person concerned would not
care to repeat, says the Lewiston Jour
nal. He was a derrick man, who stood
on the brink of one of the great chasms
from which the slate rock is hoisted.
His duty was to catch hold of the big
hook depending from the end of the
boom as it swung over the bank and
attach it to the crate to be sent back
into thle pit. Standing upon the very
edge he reached out to catch the hook
which dangled near him. It was win
ter and he wore thick buckskin gloves.
The hook slipped from him as he leaned
out, but caught into the fastening of
the glove. The swing of the great
boom took him off h'is feet in an in
stant and carried him out into the gid
dy space with his life depending on
the glove's holding fast. His whole
weight was hung on that button, and
there was a clear 175 feet of space be
tween him and the floor of rock be
low. The moments that iMissed before
the boom could be swung back over the
bank seemed like hours to him, but
lie got there at last, safe and sound.
A Kick for Each Name.
"Hang Theology" Kogers, the distin
guished English philanthropist who
died recently at 77, got his nickname
from calling out "Hang economics!
Hang theology!" at a school board
meeting where theoretical questions
hindered progress. His independent
and energetic character may be in
ferred from this story of his youthful
days: A new boy came to school dressed
in a light blue jacket faced with velvet,
white trousers and waistcoat, and a
turned down collar and frills. Rogers
went up to him and asked him his
name. The boy replied: I am Charles
&tuart Vane, Viscount Seaham, and my
father is the marquis of Londonderry."
Whereupon Rogers kicked him three
times, once for Vane, once for Seaham,
and onoe for Londonderry.
HIS FATHER'S BUSINESS.

"What's yer Donner's business?" W
quired the directory man.
"Business?"
"Yes. What does he do for a living?"
The boy lauehed. "Oh." he said, "he

times he breaks into houses. Say, yer

THtY tNJOYED THE JOKE.
Th Elephant Appreciated a Good Thing
Wha They Haw It
A number of years ago, in a book
which was called "Leaves from the Life
of a Special Correspondent," Mr.O'Shea,
the author of the book, gave the follow
ing description of an adventure he had
with a herd of elephants. Said he: "A
young friend asked me once to show
him some elephants, and I took him
along with me, having first borrowed
an apron and filled it with oranges.
This he was to carry whilst accompany
ing me in the atable, but the moment
we reached the door the herd act up
such a trumpeting they had scented
the fruit that he dropped the apron
and its contents, and scuttled off like a
oared rabbit. There were eight ele
phants, and when I picked up the
orange I found 1 had twenty-five. I
walked delltarately along the line glv
ing one to each. When I got to the
extremity of the narrow atable I turned
and was about to begin the distribution
again, when I suddenly reflected that
II elephant .No. 7 In the row saw tne
give two oranges in succraalon to No.
he might imagine he was Wing cheated,
and give tne a smack with hi trunk
that ut where the elephant falls short
of the human being ao I went to the
door and began at the Wglnnlng as
brfiire. Thrice I went along the line,
and then 1 was in a fix. I had one
orange left, and I bad to get hack to the
dm. Kvery elephant In the herd had
hit greedy gate focuaaed on that orange,
It was as much as my life was worth to
give it to any one nf them. What was
1 to do? I held It np conspicuously.
tNailly peeled It, and ate It tnyaelf. It
wa mmt amusing to notice the way
thiM elephants nvtlged each other and
shook their ponderous sldea. They
thoroughly entered into the humor of
the thing."

A LESSON IN POLITENESS.
As lot reeling Ineldrak mt Elvatd
Travel la New York city.
The temptation to correct the man
taers of children who are not taught by
their parents to conduct themselves
properly in public places Is very
strong. A gentleman yielded to this
temptation on a New York elevated car
recently under circumstances which
may te pardoned to him, though un
doubtedly he exceeded his right.
He was sitting, as he relates in the
New York Press, in a car in which all
the seats were taken. A stout woman,
flashily dressed, sat opposite him, hold
ing a small boy between her knees.
As the car stopped, a person who sat
next the gentleman got out, and a
working girl, carrying a big bundle,
came in, and started to take the vacant
seat.
But the woman with the boy was too
quick for her. She pushed the boy
quickly into the seat, just before the
girl could take it, and looked compla
cently about her, as if she could not
see the girl at all.
The gentleman might then have risen
and given the girl his own seat, but he
did not. He put his arm around the
boy's waist, lifted him to the floor, and
said:
"Now take off your hat, and offer
your seat to that young lady."
The boy ran to his mother's knees.
The girl hesitated, but took the seat as
the gentleman beckoned her to it.
And then the mother of the child burst
out into a violent denunciation of the
man's "ungentlemanly" conduct.
"And let me tell you, sir," she.said,
finally, "dou't you ever meddle with
people's children again!"
"Madam," responded the gentleman,
"if mothers do not train their sons to
grow up as gentlemen, some one else
should, now do you expect that boy
to respect his mother's sex, when his
mother sets him the example of de
spising other women's claims to
courtesy?"
BIRDS AS BAROMETERS.
A Well-Koown Writer Who Holds That
They Are Not Weather Wis.
In his charming book, "Recent
Rambles," Dr. Charles C. Abbott gives
some little attention to the question
whether birds can realize the coming
of a storm so far in advance of its
actual appearance as to serve observant
man as a reliable barometer. Al
though this has been popularly be
lieved for centuries, Dr. Abbott thinks
that it has no basis in fact and voices
his opinion in these words:
"It needs but a short ramble in the
woods and fields after a summer
shower to see how painfully destructive
are moderate wind and rain when
they rush across the country hand-in-hand.
There is no more touching sight
in all nature than the lowly murmured
