1 1 t"i s-f Absolutely Pure. SOVM, MM PIDM A Chicken That Catches Mice. On my place, near Montemorilos, Mexico, 1 have Plymouth Rock chickens. One day two of my children were crossing the field bout half mile from tin? house, when they came across a mother part rid ire with her young, which on sight of the children began to hide in the woods. Noticing one or tne nrooa bide in a bunch of grass the children concluded to capture it. and did. but instead of a young partridge it turned out to be a young Plymouth Rock chicken, which by some means had been adopted Dy tne oiu motner partridge. This chicken after being taken to the bouse soon became tame, but has confined tta diet to insects and similar food: but. most wonderful of all, it has developed Into an extra good monser, hardly a day passing that it does not catch at least on mouse. It first commenced killing little mice, nntil now it has no hesitancy in at taching and killing fun grown mice, which it pecks to pieces and eats. Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal. When Carleton Stuttered. Henry Guy Carleton was walking on Tremont street when there passed a man ager between whom and the playwright has existed an antarctic coolness ever since the manager "did" a play of Carleton's in more ways than one. "Your friend isn't looking well," ob served Carleton's compauion; "a little pale about the gills." "He has tut-two good reasons for not f nf feeling well," said Carleton. "And what are they?" "Why, his nun-new company can't act. and his old kuk-kidneys won't." Boston Letter. . When the Era of Doll Is Passed. Never try to laugh children out of their childish affection for dolls, for with the lay ing away of the French beauty, the Ger man sailor boy or the homemade rag baby the little girl has gone forever and in her place stands a maiden with questioning eyes, wjao looks out upon the great world so new to her and longs just a little for tha playthings put away with the other illu sions of a childhood she has left behind.

Re was a quiet looking, elderly gentle man and he came into my presence almost with humility. We exchanged some vital opinions concerning the weather, and when the conversation began to limp he slipped towards me and said with a sly glance: "A great many of the young men $2) trying it now." The remark took me by surprise, so, without the least idea what he meant, 1 laid, "Is that so?" "Yes," he answered, "and the young women too." r "Indeed!" "Of course it's to be expected, though, that young people in this age will know a good thing when they see it." "Quite natural," I said. "And everybody, too, wants to make money such a rest less, money getting age. The man that can't make a fortune now in twenty years is set down as a fool" "Yes?" I answered, thinking bow many fools there are, but growing more inter ested all the time. "When I was young it was very differ ent," he went on. "A man had to work hard and economize to acquire a compe tency in sixty year This generation is a hundred years ahead of that. A young woman came to me last week and said she was going to branch out and accomplish something and wanted me. to help her. Of course I did, and f consider ber fortune made." By this time I was burning up with curi osity to know who this man was that had fortunes o dispose of so recklessly, and I was growing exceedingly nervous. He saw It, for be said: "I see yon are interested, and I should have been greatly deceived if you had not been. You want to make something for a rainy day. That's right. A young widow came to me last week and shook my hand and told me she never would forget my kindness to her; and week before last a yonng man told me I'd been the making of him." ' I could stand it no longer. "Will yon tell me bow you do it? I asked nervously. I couldn't control my eagerness to grasp a fortune, bnt he was cool as a cucumber.

He rattled away about in surance with a volubility that was re markable even in a well trained insurance agent. I got rid of him by promising to give the matter of insurance my careful attention for ten consecutive days, and to read thoroughly all the circulars he gave me meantime. I will not say I kept my promise, for a great portion of my time ia given upto avoiding a man with gray beard and a furtive glance. -Detroit Free Press. ICegro Folklore. Here ia a strange piece of folklore. For many years, even long before the war, the nddie playing and the banjo slaying bad been dying ont among the negroes, owing to a superstition that "de devil is a fid dler." The very old people have noticed this. The master of the mansion says: "In my father's time, and when I was a boy, there were few regular musicians, and at parties, unless it was a very grand affair. a lady played the piano, accompanied by a gentleman on the violin, and monstrous good Jigs and reels they played too. But when it got too much like work almost anybody's carriage driver" could be sent for out of the kitchen, who could fiddle well enough to dance the Virginia reel by. But when I grew up negro fiddlera were scarce among the plantation hands, except tne 'professionals who were free negroes. They have been growing scarcer, owing to tms superstition about old Piute. "Among the city negroes the piano is the favorite instrument, as it is so much easier to acquire a certain proficiency on it than on the violin. In the country, though, it is generally thought unbecoming, at least. tor a 'enu'eu member to play the violin, if not actually an uuducious communication with Satin himself. But it involves neither deadly sin 'nor any spiritual risk whatever to play the accordion or the lap organ," as they call it. The ' 'cor'jon,' consequently, is a very popular instru ment.

Among the millions of renders who have teen entertained by perusing the stories of "Old Sleuth, the Detective," there are not many vrno Know that until Quite re cently the author of those stories was a member of the Brooklyn board of educa tion. Yet it is & fact that he occupied a seat in that txxiy for nearly nine years. and It is also a fact that he might still be a member or it If no hiwi not resigned be cause or the pressure or private business. In private life "Old Sleuth" la known as llarland Pago Halsoy. He began writ ing for n cheap weekly Btory paper under his famous pen name over 30 years ago. As a very young man he naci literary aspira tions of a higher order than his detective stories indicate, but he discovered that there was more mouey to be made In cheap literature and smothered his aspirations In the interest of bis pocketbook. Since then he has written more than 150 "Old HARLAND P. HALSET. Sleuth" stories, and the financial result bave more than justified his anticipations. His, stories have netted him something over Jooo.uoo and produce for Mm an In come of f 20, 000 a year. The amount of work Mr. Halsey has ac complished In the past SO years is some thing prodigious. His stories average be tween 60,000 and 75,000 words each and have required the preparation of more than 170,000 closely written manuscript pages. He says that h'is work is largely mechan ical, and that ho goes about it dally as a carpenter goes to his bench, writing from 20 to 40 pages of manuscript on 300 cat of the 818 working days of each year. He takes pride in the fact that there is not a single word in any story he has written that could be objected to by the most rigid moralist Mr. Halsey looks more like a prosperous merchant than a typical author. He Is a strongly built man of medium stature. with a Btrong. good face, conventional dress and businesslike manner. He is a business man of considerable ability, too, and has Increased his fortune to very near the 10 figure limit by shrowd investments in real estate and financial projects. He is a director is a Brooklyn trust company and takes a great deal of interest in Republic an politics In the City of Churches. The Halseys are an old Long Island family, and " Old Sleuth" is very proud of his ancestry. His four great-grandfathers fought in tho Revolution, and six of his ancestors were military officers in the old colonial wars. The walls of his handsome Brooklyn home are hung with many por traits of these vigorous and comely people, and much of his furniture is priceless from old associations. IN HANCOCK'S MEMORY. A Heroic Statne of the Famous General to Be Erected In Washington. The national capital is to have an eques trian statue of Gcnerul Hancock. It is to be of heroic size and will be set up in the reservation iu Pennsylvania avenue, be tween Seventh and Eighth streets, a most conspicuous ar.d admirable position for a noble work of art such as the statue prom- Ises to be. The design selected is by Henry J. Ellicott of Washington and represents benerai Hancock as ho appeared at the battle of Gettysburg. Tho model was pre pared before tho death of Mrs. Hancock, wno considered It admirable in every way and, urged its acceptance by the commis sion to whom congress assigned the duty or selecting a design. This commission consisted of tho secretary of war and Sena tors Proctor, voorhees and Cocfcrell. The statue will lie of heroic size, about ball again as large as life, and its dimen sions will be about the same as those of the statue of General Thomas at the junc tion of Vermont and Massachusetts ave nues. The figure of General Hancock, if THE HASCOCK STATUE. erect, would be about 0 feet in height, am the horse will measure about 0 feet in length through the body. The height of tne pedestal will be is lect. It will be of granite, admirably proportioned, with rich carving on each sido, and differing from any other in the Capital City. Mr. Ellicott 's genius has heretofore been manifested in his equestrian statue of Gen eral McClellan in Philadelphia, and the sol diers' monuments in Greenwood and Cal vary cemeteries In New York, and the monuments to the First and Second Penn sylvania cavalry at Gettysburg, all of which are considered masterpieces of the sculptor's art, the latter two having been pronounced "the gems of that battlefield. " The talent which has made Mr. Bill- cott's name familiar as a sculptor was first displayed at a very early age.

And if it is the proper thing to do, haven't all of us who are in society got to do it, and do it hammer and tongs, while tho craze lasts? The bruisers and the nose breakers are the coming society men. Every sign points that way. Society has been aching for them for ten years, bnt it could never see how it was possible to take them up without recognizing their leader, Mr. Sullivan, and there were some insuper able objections to his eccentricities, of manner. The first and the last time' he was invited into society he had an argu ment with his boat and pasted him in the jaw with his right, then kicking the table and everything on it into smithereens. Now that the pugilists have a leader of refinement in the person of "Gentle man Jim." the doors of society will gradually open to them.
