"We can turn out wooden legs nowadays with rubber feet," said a manufacturer ol' artificial limbs, "that are so nearly perfect that you cannot tell them from a live leg, I mean, of course, allowing that tho false member is properly trousered.

"He walked one day into one of the well-known bars and assumed the attitude of one about to have his thirst quenched. A mutual friend who confesses to being a wag ob served to an acquaintance, 'Do you see that man over there? Well, I'll bet you 1 can go over and stick a knife in his leg and he won't be con scious of it. You don't believe lt?' " 'It's some joke or other.' return ed the other man, 'but I'll go you a drink on lt, anyhow.' "The first speaker took out his pocket knife and opened lt. Then he walked Up behind the man at the har and made a violent jab at the uncon scious drinker's right leg. The owner of the member assaulted gave a yell and jumped and a fight almost re sulted. The trouble was that the joker had forgotten which was the wooden leg."

Elve hundred dead English spar rows were picked up yesterday morn ing beneath the large oak tree that shades the well at the home of Miss Mettie Todd, on South Main street, just opposite the Orr Mills, follow ing the rain and thunder storm o' Tuesday afternoon and night. lt is presumed that the birds were killed by a shock of electricity dur ing the storm, but the treo does not seem to have been injured ia the slightest. There was no loud clap of thunder as near as the tree to the house, and it was not known that th? birds had been slaughtered until next morning. For years past the big tree has been the roosting place of hundreds of sparrows, and while many of them have been killed out from time to time by shooting, they continued to make it their home. How the sparrows were killed and every leaf of the tree left apparently uninjured ls hard to explain. Nowa Up on Ramsay's Creek. Ramsay's Creek, Aug. 14-Special: Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

Y., Aug. 11.-An im portant decision, under the Elkins re bate law, by which fines aggregating $7 5,000, imposed upon the Standard Oil Company, the Pennsylvania and New York Contrai railroads may bo increased to $4,000.000 against the first named corporation, was handed down by Judge Hazel, in tho United StuteB Court hero to-day. The fines already Imposed were for giving and receiving rebates on shipments of oil from Olean, N. Y., to Rutland and Bellows Falls, Vt. The Standard Oil Company was convicted and fined $20,000, the conviction being affirm ed upon appeal. Tho railroads plead ed guilty and were fined $55,000, ? finally disposing of the case so far as they wore concornod. When United States Attorney O'Brien and S. W. Dempsey, special attorney, moved the trial of another indictment against the Standard Oil Company, based upon the same series of alleged re bates, a "plea at bar" was entered. The government took the position that each shipment constituted a sep arate offense. Judge Hazel's opinion to-day up holds this contention, the "plea at bar" is dismissed and the defendant company is required to plead to thu indictment at tho next regular term of court. There are two untried in dictments against the Standard Oil Company, containing about 200 counts, each of which ls punishable by a fino of $20,000. Roosevelt a Grandfather. (Daily Mail.)
