As n mutter of fact, Ills business has been growing beautifully less for several years, mid his dlsnp pfnranee wns only n mutter of time, uuyhow. The "irnlu butcher1' Is n sharp tmdor, n most Insinuating talker, nnd wonderfully clover In sortie" things that are not looked upon with favor by those who demand exact Justice and change. Hut despite his cieverness.the "train butcher" occasionally gets bitten Instead gf.beliig the biter. .

One day .1 verdant-looking youth boarded n Hannibal nnd St. Joseph train In Gentrnl Missouri, nnd the "train butcher; atonccTunrked him as jyyrircj'' iU the paKgengej- reruseu to purchase for a long time, only sue runibfiig when the "butcher" mndo tempting offers. He Iwught n "I.Ifo of Jesse James" aud tcudeiv1 In payment what appeared to be a f'JO bill. Of course, the "butcher" was In n hurry to pocket the bill and short change the verdant youth, so be did not scan the bill closely. In making change he "held out" nbout $10.40, and then hurried away, carefully avoiding the verdant youth-for- several stations. -Hut "Mr. Butcher" soon detected the Missouri State warrant and hurried back to the verdant youth. "Say, you gave me a phony bill!" said the train boy. "What Is that?" nskcd.yicpasseuger. "A counterfeit: spurious bill." "X guess not." drawled the passenger.

"Is that so?" said the passenger, aris ing In his seat. "Well, how about the chnnge you gave me? ' It was short nbout $3.30. You tried to beat me aud got left. I'm willing to compromise with you, however. I'll give you all your change back except $3.30 and you give me back the bill. Instead of: you working me for $3.30 I'll Just work you for that amount." Thei train boy tried to bluff the pas senger, but It was no go, so he accepted the compromise. A week later a pas senger stopped htm and sold: "111 buy illicit her 'Life of Jesse James If you'll nccept this bill aud give me the right change." The tralu boy started lookejrtin the passenger, ,-nnd then 'smiled a"" sickly smile. He recognized not only the ver dant young man of the previous ue jlimlntance, but also recognized one of the smoothest detectives that ever worked St. Joseph Tor I'liikerton. Omaha World-Herald.

"A thoroughly healthy person Is nev er iiungry." , Thus says Dr. "William Henry Porter of the StrathmorCgWho Is a recognlzed au thorlty 6if rtleteTicsT Up . to this date a huge appetite, hus almost Invariably been considered as evldem-f of a good physical condition. Many persons will realize. after'Tvelgliltis the doctor's remark, that their great desire for food at certain -times Is a warning that all Is not well with- tlujiiu 'Dr. I'orter supports his startling statement 111 cnmnl tnt.ri.C!tln vnli.nn4.M.Jr.n 4 Tlethealtby person does not slight his meals, It must be understood, but tWs ample Justice to them. Yet not until lie tastes .the food before him, says Dr. Porter,' does he realize the need of It. He could go about and forget his meal times but for tho force of circum stances. The pangs of hunger are felt as an effect of Imperfect digestion. Dr. .Porter gives some, valuable In formation on the question which nnd of what kind shall be the principal meal morning, noon or night. In speaking of this he said: "As In the running of an engine, the most Intensive consumption of fuel must be Just prior to and In accordance with tho amount of work to be per formed; so, In a man, the time for taking, and the qunntlty and quality of the meal Ingested, or the determina tion ol the 'principal meal,' must be In harHionyjWlth the work to be accom plished. 'If tho -Individual Is to begin his dally labors between 4 and 0 In tho morning and terminate them between 5 and 1 o'clock lu the evening It necessi tates the taking of a good and liberal breakfast at an early hour In the morn ing, from a half hour to an liour before beginning active work', especially so If the last meal of the, day previous has been n light one at 0 o'clock, ns Is the common habit of this class. Habits of this kind naturally call for the heaviest meal, which also may bo called the principal meal, at uoou, or near that hour, , . "On tbe-other hood, If tho custom-is to rise between 0 and 8 In the morning, nnd the largest amount of work is per formed between 0' In tho morning nnd tho succeeding midnight, nn entirely different arrangement of tho meals must be 'followed. In this class a light breakfast Is in order ut nbout 8 in tho morning; a stronger, more substan tial meal nt 1 o'clock In tho afternoon lug, because this Is more nearly In 111 tdo of the working liotirs. tt ueii the labors are continued until midnight and; tho- hour of resting Is after this (time a' light mehl should bo taken at illyo'clork. ''in nity-of the Instances cited, ir me foodstuffs taken have been easy or dl custlon. raiildly absorbed nnd oxidized. the' tires' will naturally burn low after several hours' sleel) nnd. abstinence from' food. Oit the other hand, If the foodstuffs taken require considerable time for their digestion nnd nre slowly absorbed and oxidised, the heat-produc-lmr sudhIv mav not be exhausted com pletely during a somewhat prolonged abstluonce from food, or ' during the hours usually spent for sleeping." New York Herald. KNIGHTED BY FRANZt JOSEF, C evelund Man Honored by" the Hnler of AiMtro-Hunuarj. Emperor Trnnz Josef, Qf Austria Htincnrv. has made Theodbr Kuudtz, of Cleveland, a knight of the Order of - rFraur. Josef, one of the "highest uon hereditary honors It Is In the power of any European monarch to bestow. The decoration Is highly prized because of Its rarity. There Is said td be but out; other In the United States, that having been conferred OiCDr. Uorstcr, of New York. In 1S03. for hls.work In assisting Hiimrarlan Immigrants wlio reacueu New York destitute. The Insignia of the knighthood Is a medal or badge bearing the Imperial crown of Austro-Huugarynnd the name of the order, together with the Individ ual number of tho persobou whom It Is conferred. The decoration js about two Inches long and nn liicli and otic- TUEODOIt KUNDTZ. half vhU,ts made of gold, nud Is-ot the finest workmanship. In decorating him with the .order of Franz Josef the Emperor. gave to Mr. Kuudtz the right tothe use of the prefix "sir" as a title before his name, this being the Euro pean Qustoni, but Mr. Kuudtz says that he will not avail himself of this right. He will not call himself "Sir Theodor Kundtz." Some years ago, when Count Hagen muller. Austro-IIungarlan Minister to the Uiilted States, was lu Cleveland for a visit he was entertained very lavishly by Mr. Kuudtz, and it Is tbonght Mr. Kuudtz's kulghtbood may have been so licited by the Minister. The decoration was .ent through the Austro-Hungnrlan consul at Pittsburg. With it was mere ly a formal letter announcing that the honor had been conferred by Emperor .Franz Josefs . . During all the years that Mr. Kundtz has been a pjomjncnt and successful manufacturer In Cleveland he has done n great deal to assist his less fortunate fellow countrymen. He has given much money to hospitals nnd other charitable works. Last summer he made a busi ness nnd pleasure trip to his native land, and It Is thought be contributed to some of the charities there. The dec oration s one that Is not given to those who seek It. Farm Names. Slave Value. "It Is' a wonder to me," remarked the dairyman ns.be sold a lot of eggs Hint came from n farm whose name Is known all about this section for the ex cellence of Its products, "that farmers do not name their farms more frequent ly and so establish a sort of trademark for their produce. They would do It, I nm sure, If they only knew how much it adds to tho value of the stuff they send to the markets. I have Scores of customers who will buy only milk, eggs, chickens or other produce they want that comes from u certain farm and Is so stamped. 'There are a score or more of gen tlemen farmers who appreciate, this, nud who have given fanciful ;iiaines to their places nnd so- nt ' once ludded to the value of their produce. It also adds at once to the value of their property, for tho name very quickly becomes known, and people who nro looking to buy country places nre willing to pay more for one that has nn established name and reputation. Now, Jones' farm or Smith's farm does not mean "nnythlug to the average buyer, but call It 'Kdgewood,' 'Ivntihoe,' 'Lookout' or any other fanciful nanio and it at once obtains a market value, It never had before and without the expenditure of a penny. It Is a queer short-sighted iiosh that has led farmers to overlook this, for they arc usually shrewd enough In other respects. If they would name their farms and furnish good stuff from It for a couple of years they would find that tho value of their prop erty hnd doubled In that period." New York Times. ' A dog has to havo a flght about so oftcu to be healthy. the Vagaries The months of April and .May usually jovw tho time when the cyclone has Its Inning In the central valleys of the country. The records of recent years show that at about the llrst of May the yelouo reason Is at Its height, although ome of the frightful storms have not occurred until a mouth later. Scientists have struggled with the cy toue problem for many years, but much of the mystery surrounding Us irlglu Is uuexplaliitHl: also the reasons if the prodigious power It exerts upon objects In Its path. Thoy agree, how ever, on one thing, aud that Is the name. Cyclone, they ay. Is a misnomer, the correct designation being tornado, but the people who have actually wrestled A WESTERN CY with the monster and have seen it toss ing their residences about In midair call It a cyclone, aud cyclone it will be. Scientifically , the. cyclone, .In tho. stocui that sweeps over the South Atlantic Ocean, with a diameter of from 100 to 1,000 miles. The tornado travels In much smaller form, but In its reduced dimensions It has all the concentrated energy of the ocean storm. The diameter of the tor nado Is seldom more than 100 yards and frequently much less than that. It has been known to travel straight aloug a country road for more than a mile, wrecking everything In Its path, but not InJ.irlug the fences on either side. The diameter of this tornado could not have been more than SO or IK) reet, but Its power was almost beyond belief. But the curious freaks worked by the cyclone of the Kansas variety command more attention than Its tremendous force. On one occasion the roof or au plght-room house was lifted bodily, car ried. 200 yards, half way Into a grove, where It seemed Impossible that It could have passed between the trees, and left lying flat, but upside down; 1u a vacant spot Just large enough to re ceive It. Occasionally the side of a house Is carried away and converted Into kindling wood, while the rest of the edifice Is quite uninjured. In one Instance, In Iowa, half h double house wns shattered to bits, while the other half and the hall were quite un touched, even the carpet on tho hall floor remaining uusolled, and the paper on the wall showed neither spot nor scratch, In another, the porch of a Kansas house was cut away as neatly as though with an ax, a queer contract being seen In a third case, where the house was destroyed and the porch left standing Intact. In Nebraska the second story of an eight-room houso was taken off and the first wna left, so little shock being given to the building by tho violent re moval of the upper half that the clocks on the mantelpieces wero not disturbed, and continued to tick as usual. A still more curious freak was played by tho wind in a Kansas dwelling. A double house, with a ball In the middle, stood facing tho direction from which tho cyclcrae wns approaching. When the storm wns seen the residents took refuge In their cave and listened to hear the fall of their home. A terrible crash was beard, and they, or course, sup posed that the house had gone. On emerging they wero surprised to see tho house standing ns berore, nut were al most paralyzed with astonishment to llnd the northeast wall of tho dining room, which was on tho opposite side of the house from the direction the storm cntue, had been blown out, tho furniture, tables, dishes and all other contents had been carried off and crush ed to atoms, and no other, damage had resulted to any part of the building. The cyclone which devastated Sher man, Texas, stripped nearly all of tho dead of clothlug, and from the feet of every corpso tho shoes had been wrenched. This Is a common trick of cyclones, but scientists cannot fathom It.

Some years ago a shoe was taken ( from the ruins caused by a Kansas cy clone, and Its condition caused 110 little wonder. It had been ripped from the fool of a man who was killed. Tho strings were gone and the upper por tions, from ankle to sole, were cut Into tolerably regular strips from a nuarler of hall an inch In width. The sole seemed at llrst glance lutnet, but a. s.

They were thu .holes., where .the metal, nals.or tacks had been; tho latter hnd disappeared, melted by the electricity. Sometimes these remarkable effects nro produced without visible Injury to the body or to the clothing that re mains on It, n circumstance quite tin explainable with our present knowl edge. When the clothing Is removed It Is generally not found, being prob ably rent Into Indistinguishable rags, but when It or portions of It are left the wind treats It In tho most whim sical manner. In Iowa, In 18S5, nil the clothlug but the coat wns torn from the body of a man, this garment re maining almost Intact; lu Knusas n body wns stripped of all save u collar and cravat. .
