Jiuroorous department, Worth the Money. James Barnes, the correspondent and short story writer, was crossing City Hall Park a few days ago, when he was approached by a torn and tattered derelict, who prefaced a story of hard luck with the touching announcement that he had eater, nothing for three daya "Well, If that's so," said the author, "come with me. I'm Just going to lunch, and we might as well eat together." In company with his new found companion. Barnes made his way to a Chambers street restaurant, where he ordered a substantial and satisfy ins meal. Then the waiter brousht a check, tor one dollar and fifty cents. * and Barnes thrust his hand into his trousers pocket to dig up only seven cents. He had never been in that particular restaurant before, and the memory of the old adage that "a man is known by the company he keeps" was not reassuring. So the author turned to his grimy companion. "See here," he said, "I've come away from home without any money. Now. if you happen to have a dollar and a half in any of your pockets, Just pay this bill. Then we'll ride up to my room, and I'll pay you back." The tramp cast one slow, lingering, admiring glance at Barnes. "Say," he said, "you're the best ever. You're the slickest I ever met." Saying which he dug a grimy hand into his pocket, pulled out several dollars in small change, and paid the check. "It's worth the money," was his parting comment.?New York Press. Kbpt His Breakfast.?For many years Stephen Snow was a familiar figure about - Boston's water front. He had a fund of good stories, among them the following, which he took delight in telling: For several years during the early seventies Steve and a number of others used to breakfast at three in the morning at a then well known restaurant on Commercial street. Because of the early hour the advent of a stranger at the tables was noticeable. One cold, stormy morning all were interested in a rather untidy looking man who was eating an enormous meal. In time his hunger was appeased. Stepping jauntily to the cashier's desk, he asked if the proprietor was about. "I am the proprietor," sharply returned the man reigning over the money drawer. "Well," said our friend, with a confidence inspired by a hearty meal, "I am awfully sorry, but the best I can do is to thank you for a very nice breakfast, as I have not a solitary cent with which to pay you." For reply the man behind the cash drawer reached under the counter and, producing an army pistol, levelled It at the head of the stranger. The latter calmly surveyed It for several seconds with no attempt to move from Its range. His face took on an expression of anxiety. Shifting his gaze to the face of the "man behind the gun," he asked in marked tones of alarm: "Is that a stomach pump?"?Boston Herald. Lincoln's Permit to Vetera >?.? Mr. Linton Park, who is now an innt tbia. anliiiers and sailors' ilia iV V* ?MV ? ? home at Erie, Pa., was among those who joined In the chorus, "W? are coming Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more." He enlisted at Washington and was assigned to the Second District of Columbia regiment. Mr. Park was then, as now a vegetarian. While he could assimilate everything connected with his answer to the call of duty from the standpoint of patriotism, he could not assimilate the army pork. It was plain that if the government wished to do the square thing by Mr. Park It would have to show broad-mindedness In the matter of rations. So he took his troubles to President Lincoln, and explained that In some respects he was like the children of Israel after they set out from Egypt. He could not forget the leeks and onions with which he was wont to regale hfmself back in Indiana pnuntv. Lincoln smiled. "You want me to turn you out to graze like Nebuchadnezzar?" he asked. "It would beat salt pork," was Mr. Park's reply. Thereupon Mr. Lincoln wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet of paper: "The bearer, Linton Park, is herewith granted permission to browse wherever he chooses." Mr. Park saw the humor in the note and enjoyed it quite as muen as Lincoln did. He also enjoyed his privilege of "browsing." The note Is still In his possession. He Wanted to Know.?The steamer Morning Star, commanded by Capt. Brown, In the summer of 1904, while on a trip up the Maine coast with a party of excursionists, was caught In a severe storm, and the waves washed the decks repeatedly. The captain assured the passengers that there was no immediate danger. Most of the passengers were satisfied with this answer, but a little gentleman with an excited face stepped forward and asked the captain, time and time again, the same question: "Ho you think we shall be wrecked?" After the captain answered .many times, he at last became tired of the persistent passenger, and said, "Don't you hear what I say? Look at the other passengers, they do not seem at all disturbed. If there should be danger, I will inform you in time." Tho naa?onorpr in renlv if! "I want to know In time, if we are going to be lost, because there is & friend of * mine on board." "Do you want to say good-by to him?" inquired the captain. "No, not exactly that," answered the frightened man. "You see, the thing of it is, he has shamefully deceived me, and if we are going to the bottom I just want to tell him what I think of him." Too Much Curiosity.?A dangerous operation was being performed upon a woman. Old Doctor A , a quaint German, full of kindly wit and professional enthusiasm, had several younger doctors with him. One of them was administering the ether. He became so interested in the old doctor's work that he withdrew the cone from the patient's nostrils, and she half-roused and rose to a sitting posture, looking with wild-eyed amazement over the surroundings. It was a critical period, and Doctor A did not want to be Interrupted. "Lay down, dere, voman," he commanded gruffly. "You haf more curiosity as a medical student" iWisrrUaurous Acadian.

Elizabeth Macaulay and Magi belle Home. The halls and parlors were beautifully decorated with white and cream roses. These lovely flowers were also used in a unique way to form an attractive nook In the piazza, from which the guests were served with delicious punch by Miss Elizabeth Macaulay. Dainty paper doilies were handed the guests by Miss Louise Carpenter and all were then refreshed with delicious ice cream and cake George Douglas, the negro who drove F. M. Boulware's dray and had his left ankle broken at the Southern depot Tuesday of last week by the trucks loaded with ice turning over on him, died Tuesday afternoon of this week. He took gangrene a day or two previous and was taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon where his leg was amniitatpci above the knee, but he did not survive the operation. His remains were sent to Bascomville Wednesday evening for burial. He leaves three small children, his wife having died about three months ago Mrs. I. W. Stewart of Yorkville, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. M. Gibson, and two other daughters here, went home yesterday Mrs. W. P.

Guy, left for Carlisle yesterday Wednesday as Mrs. Crawford and her daughter were leaving town for their home in the country, the holding back strap broke going down the hill at the opera house on West End street. The horse commenced kicking and turned the buggy over and both ladies were thrown out in the street. Messrs. N. P. Johnston, James Hamilton, and Roland Smith ran to their assistance and arranged for them to get home. Mrs. Crawford was hurt some, but the other lady escaped injury. During the whole time the accident occurred and the gentlemen were getting them fixed up to proceed on their journey. a negro woman wno was sianuing at Mr. Smith's shop and was watching, laughed almost hysterically at the ladles' misfortune. When the ladies started on, Mr. Johnson arrested the woman and took her before the mayor. Yesterday morning she was tried and fined $10 for disorderly conduct Now Officer N. P. Johnson knows how It feels. Two or three days ago, while he was busy about the rear cells, Policeman Howze, supposing he had come out, locked the door and went away. Mr. Johnston soon began looking through the bars, as many another has done. Seeing a colored man, he hailed him and expressed a desire to see Chief Taylor. The negro was surprised and exclamed, "Why, Boss, dey got you in dere?" Mr. Johnston feels sure that he was locked up a long time, perhaps several hours. Mr. Howze says it was not over five minutes. GASTON. Gastonia Gazette, August 31: In a quid uui t'Atrfuiii^iy (Jieiiy IIUIIIC wedding. Mr. Rubertus Rhyne and Miss Mary John Craig were married Wednesday- night at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary L. Craig, near New Hope church. The house was a lovely scene with its decorations of ferns and other pretty potted plants. The wedding march was played by Miss Lena Wilson and the ceremony was performed by the bride's pastor, Rev. J. B. Cochrane. Owing to recent deaths in both families the wedding was a quiet one. A party of friends accompanied the groom from Mt. Holly, and the attendance of the bride's neighbors attested her popularity at home. After the ceremony at 7 o'clock the bridal party repaired tp the groom's home near Mt. Holly, where a reception was held. The groom is a thrifty young farmer near Mt. Holly, and the bride is an accomplished young teacher of the New Hope section. We join their many friends in wishing them every happiness The exit of dog days and the change of the moon seem to have struck a spell of weather they can't manage. It just pays no attention to them at all. Never mind; give the moon one more chance. It "fulls" next Sunday afternoon at twenty-two minutes past six. If that doesn't put the wet weather out of business, guess we'll have to hang on to our overshoes, umbrellas and rain-coats until the new moon hangs Its crescent in the west on the dewy eve of the 18th By the help of the equinox approaching at that time, the weather ought to be able to get be?ter or worse Miss Julia Galloway left yesterday morning for Wren's, Ga., where she is first assistant teacher in the high school.

The first canal was made in England when Henry I joined the Trent to the Witham, in 1134. Quill pens came into use in 553; the first steel ones in 1820, when the first gross of them sold for $36. The first pocket handkerchiefs, utilized in the manner they are today, were manufactured at Paisley in 1743. From the press of the celebrated Wynken de Worde the first book contttininc mimirul u-am Isauprl in 1495. The first coins were struck in brass about 1184 B. C., and in gold and silver by Phelden, tyrant of Argos, about 862 B. C. About 70 A. D., the first glass bottle was made by the Romans, although the manufacture was not taken up in England until 1558. Movable scenery was first used in theatres in 1508. It was invented by Baldassare Peruzzl and displayed in Rome before Leo X. Pliny's "Natural History" may be regarded as the first encyclopedia, since it contained 30,000 facts complied from 2,000 books by 100 authors. QUEER TRAITS OF THE CROW. Easily Shot When Once Their Leader Is Killed. No bird is better known to the farmer than the common American crow. No bird Is so detested, but on the other hand none Is more frequently tamed. An old farmer out near Chatham, N. J., who has hunted crows for more than forty years, describes them as remarkable mixtures of intelligence and stUDldity. "Each flock of crows has Its king or leader whom the rest obey Implicitly and without whom they become utterly demoralized and seem unable to act for themselves," he says. "If you want to destroy a whole flock of crows the first thing to aim at is to kill the king. "I remember when I was a small boy an uncle of mine planted a large field of corn, which a flock of crows instantly selected as a feeding ground. For a long time they set at defiance all efforts to disperse them. The king crow sat upon a tall tree, from which he surveyed the country for a great distance. As soon as my uncle or his men came in sight he would sound the signal of alarm, and he and all his followers would take flight; but no sooner were the men too far away to shoot than the king wnnirt makp the fact known, and the entire flock would return. After wasting a quantity A ammunition and the greater part of a morning without shooting even one of the rascals, my uncle hunted me up. " 'Steve,' he said, "you're pretty good with a gun. Now I'll tell you what?I'll give you a dollar for every crow you kill out in that field of mine.' "I suppose he thought that, on the chance of earning a dollar, I would spend the next day or two chasing crows off his corn. Weil, I didn't say anything. I took my gun and started off that afternoon. There were the crows at work in the field and the king on the tall tree. "He caught sight of me as I came over the top of the hill, and gave the signal. I went on down the road, hid in some bushes just across from the field, and waited for more than an hour, but the crows seemed to have gone for the day. I decided to give it up till the next morning, and started back up the road. Just as I disappeared over the top of the hill I heard a loua caw ana, turning, ueneiu muse crows coming in a swarm to settle on the field. Several times I tried to steal up the road on them, but It was no use. Then I resorted to strategy. "I went up the hill and quite a piece down the other side. Then, when I heard the king crow give the signal to return, I slipped behind the bushes by the roadside and succeeded in creeping all the way back without his catching sight of me. I picked him off easily, and as they did not hear him give the signal'of alarm the other crows went on feeding until I had shot several of them. "Then I took the body of the king crow, tied it to that of a large hawk which I had shot on my way there, and tossed them into the middle of the field. The crow is the most curious bird on earth. The whole flock came swooping down to solve the mystery of a crow and hawk lying there together. I shot and shot into their midst, but they never seemed to learn. "When all my shot was exhausted I went over to my uncle's and asked him to go see how much he owed me. He went quickly enough, and counted ninety-seven crows. "After a while he came back to the house with an awful sober face. " 'Steve,' he said 'I guess I'll have to ask you to let me off a part of that bargain we made. I didn't calculate exactly how good with a gun you are.' " 'Well, I'll tell you, uncle,' I said, 'I've naa a 101 01 sport mis auernoon and if you'll give me back the dollar I spent on shot to kill those crows I guess it will be all right.' "I've never seen a dollar come out of a man's pocket as quickly as that one did. "Often since I've used the body of a dead hawk to bring a crowd of crows within shooting distance, and I've never known it to fail. Somehow It is an object which seems to have a peculiar fascination for them, driving them clear out of their senses with curiosity. "Some farmers exterminate whole flocks of crows at once by sticking a stuffed owl up in a tree where they congregate. All crows, you know, like to tease an owl. If crows are successfully decoyed by a stuffed owl practically the whole flock may be wiped out before they will aban don their fun. They will return again and again to tease the bird, in spite of the fact that some of their number are shot each time. Samuel W. Quick, a farmer of Rynex Corners, N. Y., has learned to have a friendly feeling for all crows, because of a devoted pet in one of the tribes. "I do not think crows are so fond of corn as some farmers imagine," he told the writer. "The old birds feed their young on worms, bugs and Insects. It is such food they are after when they go into the freshly tilled fields. In hunting for these they naturally damage the corn to a certain extent. My pet would not touch grain of any kind. I think he would have starved before eating corn. ^ "I shed tears when I lost thai bird. I called him Jackey. I gol him by climbing to the top of a tall pine tree and carrying him down ir my arms. I put him in a box aboul two feet square, with a sieve across the front. After keeping him therf about one week I let him out for a walk. Very soon he was so tame thai I gave him entire freedom. He slept in the trees in summer and in the chicken house with the hens in winter. "When hungry he would come intc the house, get hold of my wife's skirt and pull and yell and flap his wings till she fed him. We gave him every thing we had on our table excepting the grains. He was a great lover of meat of any kind. When hi got a piece he would grab it as savagely as a dog, fly up in a small trei in the yard, hold the meat in one ol his claws and tear off pieces with his bill, all the time making noise enough to awaken the dead. He was alsc very fond of grasshoppers, and would spend hours some days gathering them and storing them up foi hard times. "When he got more food than he could eat at one time he would take the surplus out in the yard and hide it under some leaves; and woe to the dog or cat thai would try to get I what he had deposited. "He would never hide anythlni while anyone was watching him. I you would turn your back, or pre tend not to look for a moment hi i would drop whatever he had, quick i ly put a covering over It, and thei i run off about twenty feet where yoi could see him and commence to di| and scratch to make you believe tha he was hiding It there, i "If I started to go where he ha< i hidden anything Jackey would trj i in every way in his power to lead mi in the opposite direction. "He was a great boy for takini walks. He would follow me througl the fields the same as a dog, 01 i sometimes perch on my head 01 i shoulder. He seemed lo know whei . Sunday came and would bother m< : more then than on any other day He wanted to keep me busy. Ai soon as he saw that I had nothini i to do, he would get hold of mj i trousers and try to pull me aloni : with him for a tramp. "Jackey was never quiet for a mo< ment except when asleep, and tha was only In the middle of the night He was first man up and last mai to bed. i "A crow, as far as my observatloi goes, Is a natural born thief. Jacke] would steal anything he could ge hold of, carry it off and hide it H< was especially fond of anythinf bright, such as sewing materials shears, thimbles, needles, papers 01 pins, silver spoons and jewelry of al sorts. "Our barn was burned by lightning that year and this gave Jackey lob of business. He would work all d&3 picking nails out of the ashes ant carrying them off to the woods clom by where he would stack them ir piles and cover them with leaves. "One day while walking througl the woods I went without knowing li to the spot where some of these nalli were hidden. Just as I was about t< tread on one of his precious stores Jackey hopped down at my feet ant began to pick up nails as fast as h< could, carrying them away to a plac< of safety. "Had Jackey lived I think I coult have taught him lots of tricks, foi he was very intelligent. Unfortu nately my pet came to an untimel] end just as he began to be most in> terestlng. He had been fighting wltt the hens one day and they pullet out all the feathers in one of hli wings. Later in the day he attempt ed to fly across a creek, fell in ant was drowned."?New York Sun. ARMLESS THIEVES. Remarkable Cripple Criminals Wh< Cause the Police Trouble. One hears of armless artists, of leg less men, like the late Mr. Kavanagh M.

But the cripple criminal is a nove development, and a very strange one Criminals, are of course, frequently mentally deficient, but usually they are In full possession of their bodily faculties. Yet the French press ha! recently been greatly stirred by th< extraordinary career of a man whon they term the'Centaur Highwayman 1 He is an Arab, and the scene of hii ' exploits has been Algeria. He began his career as band! chief nearly twenty years ago. tfeinf then in full possession of all hi: limbs. He was caught and Imprison ed, and while serving his sentenc< met with an accident which resultet in both his legs being amputated. H< was pardoned in consequence, but ai soon as he was set free a perfec reign of terror began. Farm house: and villas were robbed and traveller: held up in good old-fashioned styli nn the road. The leader of the ban dits was a man magnificently mount ed. At last a police trap proved sue' cessful. He was caught and turned out to be no other than the orlgt.ia convict. His loss of legs did 110 Interfere in the least with his poweri of riding. The manageress of a Stroud grcer shop, arriving early one Saturday morning, suddenly caught sight of t man's boot sticking out from undei a coat hung upon the wall. Witt great presence of mind she said noth ing, but closed the door and hurrlec off for a policeman. The unwelcorm visitor proved to be a wooden-leg ged burglar, who had got In by th< skylight, and lowered himself by t rope. Unluckily for him, the ropi broke, and with his wooden leg h< was unable to climb out again. It was a wooden leg, also, thai proved the undoing of an Irishman who appeared at Bournsmoutl charged with stealing a dog. He wai taking the animal up Alum Chlni when the owner came down the path The thief turned to escape, took t< the beach and sank up to his ampu tated knee in the soft sand. The disadvantages of being one armed seem slight compared with th< loss of a leg, but it is somewhat as tonishlng to hear of a one-armet burglar being charged with thirty nine different offences.
