FELL AMONG' THIEVES.
And tha Old Man Didn't Know Which

An old roan from rural England

bouse where "All B:i!a and Ibe Forty

"i Uep" bouse, the price of alalia lie

fanner was surprised, however, on nr
rlvlng at the box offl.e to I met with
a demand for 0 aliUling for the two
tickets. The extra aixpenre per aeut.
It wua explained, wan for bookln;.
Then he was culled. aHa to pay nix
pence for a program, and the female
attendant who showed him to the
aeata also asked for alxence. la addi

he paid for lints and coat being taken
care of In aplte of Ills protest that
they could take care of them them-(K-ives.
A footstool was broupht for
bis wife and waa accepted without
suspicion that It would lie charged for,
but the attendant who brought It de
manded another sixpence, and finally
opera (-'lasses were banded to them
and payment of another alxpence re
quested. Then the farmer went In
search of the mutineer and, finding
him, aiild In a tone of deepest disgust:
"You may do w but you like wltb these
tickets. There are so mauy thieves In

THUNDERSTORMS.
They Kill Ovr 300 Persona a Year In
t Madagascar.
Thunderstorms never occur In the
arctic regions, and even the north of
Scotland very seldom suffers from
such n visitation. The nearer you get
to the equator the more freipient and
severe are the eleetrle manifestations.
In parts of Central Africa the average
of thiiiidctojH days rises to the aston
ishing total of 250 per annum.
Yet there are curious exceptions. In
Java niul Sumatra, both intensely hot
climates, there are but ninety-two
storms yearly, and In Borneo only
fifty.
Tbo Gold coast of Africa has only
sixty a year, which Is less than occur
In Florida, though the latter country
Is outside the tropics.
In ,1a ma lea there Is a thunderstorm
every day during the rainy season,
which lasts for Ave months. These
storms almost always occur between
midday und II In the afternoon.
Perhaps the most nsicvishlng fact
with regard to thunderstorms Is thai
the Island of Mauritius, which Is only
Kit) miles east of Madagascar, has, on
an average, only one thunderstorm In
eighty years. Yel In Madagascar the
lightning Is more destructive than nny
where else In the world, the annual
death roll being over ;S00. Pearson's

be retreated to a respectful distance
and stared at Itio opposite wall. The
restaurant proprietor disapproved of
that humanitarian attitude.
"Don't stand away hack there," be
said. "Go up and hang over that fel
low's chair back for nwhlle."
"Oh, no," expostulated the human
waller. "They want to talk."
"Of course they do." the- proprietor
retorted "That Is why I want you to
butt In. IOvery time you come near
they w ill send you to the kltelpn for a
fresh order to get you out of th" way."

THE EARTH'S CHANGES.
What the Fossil Remains of Planta
and Animals Tell Us.
There was a time when even the
polar regions bloomed with many of
the splendid and varied forms of life
that now adorn the tropics.
The fossil remains of these ancient
forms preserved In the bosom of the
rocks carry us back perhaps millions
of .veal's In the earth's history and
show clearly what wonderful revolu
tions tlie surface of the globe has un
dergone since the first plants and the
first animals appeared upon it
Who would think of meeting a rhi
noceros nowadays on the prairies of
northwestern Canada unless perhaps a
traveling menugerle should pass that
way? Yet at one time, as discoveries
of recent years prove, a creature close
ly resembling the rhinoceros of India
mid Africa dwelt In that now compar
atively cold, snowy and barren region.
Remains of these extinct ancestors
of nu animal that In our day thrives
only In the tangled tropical forests and
under the hot equatorial sun have been
found burled In the Canadian rocks,
where now the cold blasts of winter
blow over treeless plains and sweep
the flanks of li e Incrusted mountains.
Thp rhinoceros of that remote age
was no less formidable a beast tlnyi
Its descendants, for the skull of one of
tlie skeletons discovered Is three feet
long, while some of Its teeth are four
Inches across.
The fossil remains of ninny other
forms of animals have been found In
the same region wlthiu recent years.

"You Ray the kingdom of heaven Is
good, my father, but tell me, la It
better than the land of the musk ox
In summer, when t ho lakes are some
times misty and Nometimes blue, and
the loons cry often? That Is good, my

be willing to dwell there until 1 am
