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"

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

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. P., who ride and shoot, and 01
many blind or otherwise physically
Incapacitated persons who earn theii
own living.
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. Wondei
