tumorous Department. The Bishop and the Tramp.?The experiences of Bishop Talbot, long the "Cowboy Bishop" but now bishop of central Pennsylvania, have been many and varied, and his book, recently published, "My people of the Plains." gives a fascinating picture of life in the earlier days of the great west. Miners, cowboys?all loved him, and they still tell a host of stories about him. "Once while the bishop of Wyoming and Idaho, he went to St. Paul to attend a meeting of dignitaries of the church. There, one noon, on the *- - M * -"-l ? .? *? r\ onnrAOf>h. porcn ui me uuici, a. uam)/ ed a group of bishops and asked for aid. "No." one of the churchmen replied. "I don't think we can do anything. But down there is the youngest bishop of us all." (pointing to Bishop Talbot,) "and he's a very generous man." The tramp went to Bishop Talbot and the others watched with interest. They saw a look of surprise come over the tramp's face?they saw that the bishop was talking eagerly, earnestly?they saw the tramp look perturbed?but they finally saw that something passed from hand to hand. The tramp tried to get away without speaking to those of the group, but the former spokesman called to hirn. "Well did you get something from our young brother?" The tramp grinned sheepishly. "No, I gave him a dollar for his blamed new cathedral at Laramie!" -- atihv INO SlUECT rVK wnuBiiiuun A young: lawyer, not noted for intelligence, succeeded in having a client acquitted of murder. Meeting a friend a few days afterward, the lawyer was greeted with warm congratulations. "Yes," said the lawyer, mopping his brow, "I got him off, but It was a narrow escape." "A narrow escape! How?" "Ah, the tightest squeeze you ever saw. You know I examined the witnesses and made the argument myself, the plea being self defence. The Jury was out two whole days. Finally the Judge called them before him and asked what the trouble was. " 'Only one thing, my lord,' replied the foreman. 'Was the prisoner's counsel retained by him or appointed by the court?' " 'No gentlemen, the prisoner is a man of means,' said the judge, 'and engaged his own counsel.' "I could not see what bearing the question had on the evidence," continued the lawyer, "but ten minutes later in filed the Jury, and whut do you think the verdict was?" "What?" asked his friend. . "Why, not guilty on the ground of insanity."?Memphis Commercial Appeal. His Ntiow.?The records in the war department in Washington are, as a rule, very dry; but occasionally an entry is found that is humorous. An officer of engineers, in charge of the construction of a road that was to be built through a swamp, being energetic himself and used to surmounting mere obstacles, was surprised when one of his young lieutenants whom he had ordered to take twenty men and enter the swamp said that he "could not do it?the mud was too deep." The colonel ordered him to try. He did so, and returned with his men covered with mud, and said: "Colonel, the mud is over my men's heads. I can't do it." The colonel Insisted, and told him to make a requisition for anything that was necessary for the safe passage. The lieutenant made his requisition in writing and on the spot. It was as follows: "I want twenty men eighteen feet long to cross a swamp fifteen feet deep."?Harper's Weekly. The Sudden Shift.?Mr. Ferguson, two of whose down town friends had just dined with him, had taken them into the library for a smoke. "I must tell you a good one on my wife." he said. "She's been roasting me because I look at the headlines in the papers once in awhile to see if anything important is happening in the Thaw trial. Well, the other afternoon, while the girl was away, she put a pan of biscuits in the oven to bake, and while she was waiting she picked up a paper and began to read the stuff herself. She got so interested in it that she let the biscuits"? At this moment Mrs. Ferguson came into the library for a book. "And the Joke of it was," continued Mr. Ferguson without a moment's pause, "that they found the cow next morning in a forty-acre lot."

IA Peon's Tale In a Mexican Market Place. In a certain place In Spain there I once lived a hard working charcoal i burner, or carbonero; but he was l married and had six very young chil- 1 dren with great appetites. So, all he i earned they together ate; not always In peace and the grace of God, for the poor man sometimes found himself at < uoorv and annnerless. < Ills 111 * CI J nvu.^ r< One day the carbonero said to himself: "When I can double my day's i earnings and have sufficient money I < am going to eat an entire hen by my- 1 self alone." < That day so much wished for arrived. The man collected his double wages, bought a hen and put it to cook in a puchero In the depths of a forest. Soon a gentleman rode up, dressed in garments resplendent with gold | and precious stones. I "God keep the carbonero," he said. t "God be with the caballero," re- ; sponded the man. "Wilt thou give me a bit of the hen i thou art cooking?" 1 "Diantre! How didst know it?" t "I am fortunate and I go all over the ? world: take advantage of this oppor- j tunuyv "Thou art Fortune? Well, thou shalt not eat of my hen, for I hate thee. Thou are unjust; to'some thou givest all, and from others takest all away. Go, and God be with thee.' The rider spurred his fiery mare and disappeared. In a little while there came an old man with wrinkled face, dressed in black and mounted on a poor horse covered with scars. "God keep the carbonero," he said. "God be with the gentleman," replied the charcoal burner. "Wilt thou give me a little of the hen which thou art cooking?" "The devil! All the world knows that I am cooking a hen, and yet I could swear 1 have told it to no one. Who art thou?" "I am death." "Death art thou? Well, you shall eat of my hen, for you are Justice herself. Dismount and dine with me." me." The old man dismounted, seated himself on the ground with the carbonero and ate of the hen, the two conversing amiably together. When they had finished. Death said to the charcoal burner; "Ask of me what thou wishest and it will be granted thee for thy good treatment of me." "What I need is money." "Ask for what thou wishest." "Give my household full of gold money." "Granted," said Death. With a lightness no one would have suspected In the old man, he mounted his nag and disappeared. The charcoal burner went home, the door was tightly closed, his wife and children being away. He tried to enter, but could not, for the house was full of golden money. He remained on guard at the door and when his wife and children returned he gave them money enough to go buy the richest clothing they could find for him and themselves. He ordered also a palace to be built and spent much money in coaches and servants. One day when the charcoal burner was leaving his palace, he met the old man with wrinkled face, who said to him: "Dost thou know me still?" "Perfectly, thou art Death. What dost thou wish of me?" "To notify thee that thy money will soon give out, and it will be well for thee to take some position." "What position could I take? I can neither read nor write and am too old to learn." "Take that of a doctor." "A doctor? Poor me, who can neither read nor write!" "Yes, a doctor and I will tell thee how to manage. When thou goest to see one sick if thou seest me sitting at the head of the bed give him up for dead; all the resources of human knowledge will be in vain. In this way thou wilt come to thy fortune; thou canst predict the cure of many whom the most famous physicians will have given over." The old man disappeared. So the old charcoal burner offered himself to the public as a great doctor and soon became universally famous. When he was called he exam ined the patient and at once pronounced sentence. He seemed to car- ^ ry with him health or death. His wealth increased, for all the high dignitaries of the kingdom and the princes called him In for consultation. One day he was sent for in great haste to go to the house of a great man who had suffered an attack of apoplexy when his family least expected it, and the unhappy man was dying, leaving his wife and sons in profound sorrow, greatly increased by the fact of his affairs being in complete disorder. On entering the house of the patient his eldest son called the charcoal burner apart, saying: "Senor doctor, thou art welcome, give my father health and thou shalt have nothing to complain of from me." "We shall see, we shall see," was all the old carbonero would say. Then he went to the sick room where, seeing the old man with the wrinkled face at the head of the bed. he at once shook his head and murmured : There is no held for him." All the family wept, but the eltjest son. more composed than the rest, toi k the doctor by the arm and conducting him to his official said: "Thy word, according to fume Is a sentence. Hut make my father well and ask what thou deslrest." "It cannot be; his hour has come." "We will give thee half of our fortune, which is immense, if thou wilt cure my father." That proposition made the old earbonero reflect, and in a few moments an idea occurred to him. "If thou wilt do what I command it seems to me thy father may yet be saved." he said. "Speak, as thou sayest: so shall it be done." "Place two strong men servants at the head of the bed and two at the1 foot, and when I make them a sign they must change the bed around so that the foot will be where the head is now." "Nothing more?" "Nothing it only needs that we reach the room In time." Reentering the sick room, where all was as they left It, the doctor's orders were carried out In haste and It In a few moments the old man with the wrinkled face was at the foot of the bed. Then the doctor hastened pi to say: si "I assure you the sick man will not gi ale of this Illness." be All present embraced the old car- te bonero with expressions of sincere ra gratitude, and he smiled full of satis- hi faction. In the meantime the wrlnk- dc led old man slowly left the room, murmuring in his ear: pi "Thou art the only one who has de- of :elved death, and I deserve It, be- a.? muse I trusted In the loyalty of the ro - 11 n I turn uuMiti. It is true he could not deceive him is again, for another time the hour sh :ame for the carbonero who left a th brilliant fortune to his wife and chil- m Iren. ar ??? ? Cl( OUR WARSHIPS. m st To Penetrate Armor at Six Mile* Nothing Now. av The warships of today are, as most m people know, armored, but, contrary :o the popular idea, they are not pro- sc :ected all over, says a writer in St. ca Nicholas. A recent authority has said that the M mprovement in rapid-firing guns in C( ate years has resulted in armor-pro- s'< ecting more of the side of the ship, an md in increasing the number of guns th srotected by the armor. The armor W s not so thick as formerly, but this s made up for by an Improved kind th )f material, whose resisting power is jreater.

In the Irst-named parts are carried the ma:hlnery and boilers, coal, the steering ut fear, the submerged torpedo tubes, st he ammunition and the greater part t,( )f the stores. These parts are the nost vulnerable parts of the ship. At- P'1 empts have been made to armor the ar jottom of battleships, against explo- th ilons of torpedoes, but they have not a' jeen generally successful, owing to ov he fact that to have the armor effectve It would have to be very thick, P? ind, therefore, very heavy?an ob- hi lection that engineers have not sue- ar :essfully overcome. To prevent the penetration of pro- ,IT ectiles from above there Is a protectve armor deck, usually from two to ori 'our Inches thick, the middle part of m' vhich is a little above the water line. lo rhis deck slopes down at the sides to av :he bottom edge of the armor belt mi 'rom four to six feet under water. ve fhere Is sometimes a second protect-1 ve deck below the first one to catch 'ragments which might pass through lh he first, and this is sometimes called an he "splinter deck." The part of the to ihlp immediately above the protect- th ve deck. In the vicinity of the water m lne is sometimes called the "raft 88 :>ody."

Just now there is a ro constant battle between guns and arnor. As the penetrating power of the at funs is increased so is the resisting power of the armor. On the new w British ship Dreadnought the smaller pc 5-inch guns have disappeared, and in- 88 itead we see a battery of ten 12-Inch yc funs.
