France's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has taken action against a cinematograph company for an act of unprecedented brutality to a horse.

Almost every Mexi can in professional or business life car ries on his person anywhere from $2(H to $Nin. Even the poor Indian In bis blanket can more than likely produce a greater sum than the average travel er.

The other pulled out a wallet from his Inside cket and counted out nearly ?2.0(x.

FUN AT A BAGGAGE AUCTION. finmMliisr Spirit uiiKfd Soma Uu profitable I'll r-liun-i. Patrons of a (Jrand avenue auction house Indulged In a mild propensity to gamble this morning lu bidding on a quantity of uncalled-for baggage sold for the Kansas City Southern Hallway Company, says the Kansas City Star. There were more than 200 pieces dis posed of, Including paper parcels, paste board and wooden boxes, handbags, suit cases and trunks. All of the pieces were more or less dilapidated, The nature of their con tents was kept secret, so that purchas ers experienced the risk and fascina tion of buying "a pig in n poke." Bid ders were guided largely by "hunches" as to the value of a package, and they would frequently compete In a spirited fashion for a small parcel, when hardly an offer could be secured for a larger one of similar appearance. "Good goods coin in small packages" was the old saw that seemed" to be In the minds of a majority of the speculators. "Oh-h-! Here Is a valuable-looking bundle," cried the auctioneer, holding up the smallest of a pile of parcels and peeking carefully Into a small hole lu the enveloping paper wrapper. "It's red, too." This bit of Information so intiatnd the Imagination of a stout colored wom an that she bid 40 cents as an initial offer and was awarded the prize before she had a chance to change her mind. The package contained a soiled red "bandanna" handkerchief. Well-trained employes passed up the various objects to the platform on which the auctioneer held forth. Hand bags, "telescopes" and trunks were la boriously hoisted up, the helpers strain ing and groaning In an affectation of bone wrenching effort. The instant a sale wtis concluded the object was un ceremoniously slapped off the platform, usually giving out a hollow echo as It lightly struck the floor. A grunting em ploye tugged desperately at a large cloth "telescope" and slammed it down with a crash on the platform. "Then; you are!" exclaimed the auc tioneer, triumphantly. "There Is a valise full of gold nuggets lost by a miner returning from the Klondike. How much am I offered?" Eighty cents was bid and accepted. Pushed from the platform, and "tele seojie" fell with a sound that unmis takably proved it empty. The crowd roared with laughter. A large crowd attended the sale and the bidding was spirited, though the advances In offers seldom exceeded 5 cents at a time. $ Wit of the Youngsters J Tommy Where have you been, Wil lie?

After asking a blessing on various members of the household the small boy concluded his prayer as follows: "And. Lord, don't forget to bless Broth er Charlie and make him as good a boy as I am." "The Bible says there will be no mar rying in heaven," said small Harry. "I wonder if that is true?" "Of course it Is." replied his little sister. "How could tlie women marry when there are no men in the place?" Small Harold had attempted to draw a picture of a horse on his slate. "Mam ma," lie queried, "can God see every thing?"

Obtain a piece of blackened card nun make a hole In it with a needle; then place a very small object say, for in stance, a tiny insect on the end of a pin or gum to a strip of glass and view this object through the needle hole In the card at about an inch from It. The Insect will appear quite distinct and about ten times larger than Its natural size. If. however, you suddenly with draw the card without disturbing the object, the hitter will be Invisible.
