Stage Driver's Bluff.
As we left Sandy Gulch for Rising
Sun there were six male passengers
to go by the stage, and the road was
over the mountains and full of
chances of disaster. The driver came
out from breakfast as soon as the
stage was ready, and looking about
on the passengers he selected a small,
pale-faced man and invited him to
climb up beside him. While the palefaced
man was climbing up the driver
whispered to the rest of us:
"I picked him out in order to scare
him to death. You fellows will see
a heap of fun before we've gone ten
miles!"
Two minutes west of the gulch the

sheer fall of a hundred feet down to
Wild Cat creek, and the driver put
his horses at the gallop and said to
the man:
. "We may get around all right, or
we may fetch up down below. Hold
yer breath and say yer prayers!"
The passenger made no move and
did not change countenance, and after
making the course all right, the driver
Indignantly demanded:
"Didn't you see that the off wheel
run within a foot of the edge of the
precipice?"
"It ran within six Inches sir!" was
the reply.
Beyond the curve was a down grade
of a mile and with a yell and a flourish
of his whip the driver urged his
horses to a dead run. The five of us
Inside had to hang on for dear life
and every half minute the stage seemed
bound to go over.
"Did ye know that if we'd happened
to have struck a rock we'd all been
dead men In no time?""Of
course."
"And ye wasn't prayin'?"
"Not at all."
Three or four miles further on the
driver tried his man with ahother
curve. In his determination to make
a close call of it one wheel ran off
the edge of the precipice, and only a
sudden effort of the horses saved the
coach. We were flung in a heap and
.half frightened to death, but the man
beside the driver never lost a puff of j

driver turned on him with:
"That surely was the brink of the
grave."
"Guess it was." was the quiet re- (
ply.
"The closest shave you will ever (
hev until the last one comes."
"Yes." (
"See her now. but what sort of a ,
critter ar' you?" was the query, j
"Don't you know 'nuft to git skeart?" j
"Nothing has happened yet to "scare
me." (
"But maybe ye want me to drive
plumb over a precipice a thousand
feet high?"
"If you convenienfiy can. The fact ]
is, driver, 1 came up here intending
to commit suicide, and If you can
dump the whole of us over some cliff
you'll oblige me."
Was No Gentleman.
"I wanted to ask you," he chipped
in as the sea captain was telling a
yarn?"I wanted to ask you if in your
wanderings you ever came across an
old salt named Hoke?"
"What, Jim Hoke?" queried the
captain.
"Yes, Jim Hoke, a short and broad
backed man."
"Did he have red hair and a cast
in his eye?"
"He did."
"Was his left thumb gone?"
"It was. You must have met him."
"I certainly have. Was he any- (
thing to you?"
"He was my brother sir."
"You don't say! Well, he sailed
with me on my last voyage, and I
must tell you brother or no brother,
that Jim Hoke was no gentleman. He
was fur, fur from it."
"How do you mean, captain?"
"Why when the ship went down we
took to the yawl. After we had been
knocking about for fourteen days we
got short of grub and drew lots. It fell
upon your brother Jim to die for the
benefit of the rest of us, but while we
were giving him time to settle,
what did the cuss do but go overboard
and let the sharks eat him up!
You are his brother, and you look
like a decent man. but I'm telling you
that we put it to a vote then and
there, and it was unanimously carried
that Jim Hoke was a good deal of a
durned hog and mighty little of a
gentleman."?Washington Post.

Like many others who have achieved
greatness, or have had greatness i
thrust upon them, the head of General 1
James F. Smith, governor general of 1
the Philippines, is innocent of hirsute
adornment. According to a story
which the general tells on himself, it
so happened that on one cold, foggy
morning, when the general (then Attorney
Smith) reached his San Francisco
office, he was in anything save a
good humor.
One of the first things that attract- ,
ed unfavorable attention was a fresh
piece of flypaper lying on his desk.
"Here," he asked, addressing his
stenographer, "what is this doing
here?"
"Why, you told me to put it there
vButerrlnv " r??frirti?rt the stenoBrranher
"Well, take It away." ordered Smith,
gruffly.
"But where shall I put it?"
"I don't give a hang." said the not
yet great lawyer, "so you put It where
1 can't see It!"
The stenographer, whose proportion
of Irish blood was equal to that of her
employer, picked up the offending flypaper.
balanced it a brief moment
thoughtfully on one hand, and then?
slapped it carefully on the back of
Smith's hairless head.
After which she seized her hat and
coat and wandered out into the cold,
foggy morning in search of another
position. i
E.xgkr For Knowledge.?She had
Just returned from the blackboard,
where for five minutes she had been
demonstrating a "sum," which to her
\ery youthful pupils seemed difficult.
"Now. children, you are perfectly
sure that you understand?"
There was a murmur of assent.
"Do any of you wish to ask a question?"
In the back of the room a small
hand was raised aloft. The teacher,
looking into the earnestly eager face,
felt that glow of satisfaction which we
all experience in assisting a budding
intellect.
"What Is it. Annie? What do you
wish to know?"
"Miss M?. are your teeth false?"
demanded the earnest little seeker In 1

Mr. Levi Carter Is a Prohibitionist
now. He says they have downed "Old
Ben" and killed the state dispensary,
and now he Is in favor of abolishing
the county dispensary. He will sign a
petition for an election and he.Is sure
the country people will vote It out.
The Lantern representative agreed
with him as to what ought to be donfe,
and expressed the hope that the country
people would not only vote out the
dispensary but do their best to have
prohibition enforced and put violators
of the law in stripes. He said he didn't
care anything about that, but he
was In favor of closing the dispensary.
There may be others who "don't care
anything about that," but we believe
that a majority of the country people
will not only vote to close the dispensary,
but will be just as careful to have
the blind tigers exterminated... .The
80th birthday of Mr. George W. Kirkpatrick
was celebrated with a family

passing train set the cotton afire and
quickly started a blaze which bade
fair to wipe out waste, depot and everything
around in a few minutes.
Agent Sholar quickly mustered a bucket
brigade, some throwing water and
others tumbling the waste off the depot
platform. Of the ten bales which
took fire four were partially saved.

the application of The Coney Island
Carnival company for permission to
show in Gastonla. The Are department
had made arrangements with the
company for the show in Gastonia,
should they be permitted to come, but
there was such an array of evidence
against carnivals that the board refused
them permission to bring their
show to town. The manager of the
show was present and stated that his
company was handicapped by the name
carnival, but that his show was clean
and decent. The show consisted, he
said, of two picture shows, one animal
show, one Ferris wheel, one old
plantation and a snake show. Mr. Jas.
F. Yeager, who represented the .busi- |
ness men of the town, stated that such
shows demoralized their business. Rev.
John Hall, as spokesman for Supt.
Wray, stated that such shows demoralized
the graded schools. A petition
was also presented, stgnea Dy an mc
ministers of the town, requesting the
board to deny the show permission to
come, on general principles.
WALKING ON WATER.
A Swede's Experiment on American
Rivers.
Professor Charles Oldrleve, who Is
walking the rivers from Cincinnati to
New Orleans on a wager of $5,000
that he can do It within forty days,
arrived at Cairo, 111., the other afternoon
three hours behind his schedule
time, says a dispatch to the St. Louis
Dispatch.
Oldrleve's .gait Is a shuffling one,
and the craft which do duty as shoes
are submerged every time he takes
a step forward. This seems to add
very materially to the work he has
to do and must be tremendously
wearisome. He propels himself forward
very much after the manner of
a man skating, swinging his arms vigorously
and Inclining his body forward
to keep balanced. To avoid a
tendency to slip backward his pedal
appendages are fitted with a valve arrangement
which effectually aids him
to proceed.
His wife acts as pacemaker, trainer
and personal guard. She does the
"bossing" and keeps right along side,
cheering the professor on his way and
rowing along steadily. She Is said to
be a champion oarswoman and In any
case can handle a boat like a CJloucester
fisherman.
Oldrleve, a Swede, about forty
years of age. five feet four Inches In
height and weighing about 135
pounds, Is walking on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers from Cincinnati to
New Orleans, a distance of 1,560
miles. He started from Cincinnati
on New Year's day, and the start was
accompanied by exceptional demonstrations
on the river front. Several
thousand persons were on the banks
to see the scudding figure disappear
In the distance, with a little gasoline
luunch behind it manned by the captain's
friends, who are to accompany
him all the way down and save him
from danger or rescue him in case
he gives out.
River men and nautical people gen
erally are watching the progress of
his experiment with keenest Interest,
for If he succeeds and demonstrates
that his water shoes are all he claims
for them he will have made a great
forward step In the life saving problem.
His shoes can be used for a
hundred purposes, not the least of
which would be by soldiers to cross
rivers and inland water in wartime.
Pontoons are expensive and hard to
provide, and water shoes would be
much superior.
For years he has worked experimentally
with a pair of shoes that
may be used In water. They are light
and buoyant and adapted either to
locomotion or to life saving.
Captain Oldrieve recently brought
his shoes to such a degree of perfection,
as he believed, that he was willing
to show their utility and entire
practicability by making a trip to
New Orleans In them. The river men
of Cincinnati took him up and made
a purse, against which he placed a
like amount. If he falls to reach
New Orleans or does not get there
within the forty days specified In his
agreement, he is to forfeit his money.
If he observes the conditions, he gets
all the money.
u-AA/lon OldriAVP wpnrs
are a few Inches over four feet in
length, six inches wide and six Inches
deep. They are so arranged that they
will not fill with water.
Oldrieve after resting all night
aboard the large naptha launch Rover,
which also accompanies him, left
Cairo at 11.30 the next morning,
walking off at a four mile an hour
gait, which, assisted by the swift current
in the river, gave him a speed of
eight miles an hour.
A Dog's Long Trip.
Thin and gaunt and with no other
instinct to guide him save the memory
of a warm kennel, good food and
an occasional caress, a little Scotch
collie dog. sold to a man at Valentine,
Xeb.. returned five hundred
miles to its former master in Des
Moines.
Just how long the dog was making
the distance has not yet been ascertained.
but with unerring instinct he
made his way over the hill and prairie,
through timber and across rivers,
finally arriving at Des Moines, where
he was given a hearty welcome, a
warm kennel and a hot bowl of milk
for a starter.
Five weeks before a man from Valentine.
Xeb., saw the collie, bought
him and took him back with him to
Valentine.
After the collie left his new
home he was seen at Fremont. Nebwhere
some boys threw stones at hint
while he was stealing a meal from a
back door. This was the last report
until he appeared at Des Moines.
His master was awakened by a
slight scratching at the front door. On
opening it he saw a shaggy, thin, dirty
little collie. He soon recognized his
former pet, however, and declares he
would not now part with the animal
ftir twice its value.
QUIZZING THE AMERICAN.
How a Yankee Got Back at Hit Rut
sian Inquisitor.
Mr. I-angdon Warner, who made hi
way to the forbidden city of Khiva
relates In the Century Magazine aeon
versatlon with some fellow-passenger
on the steamer which took him dowi
the Oxus river. One of his compan
ions asked him a question In Germar
When he admitted a slight understand
lng nf thut tongue, the man wlnkei
at the others and asked if he were no
English. The traveler replied that h
was an American.
"Then he asked If I spoke English
and when I said yes. wished to kno\
why, since I was not an Englishman.
"Then came a steady stream of ques
tions.
" 'You say you are not an English
man ?*
"'No; an American.'
" 'Do all Englishmen wear boots lik
that?'
" 'No.'
'"Where did you buy them?'
" 'In Boston.'
'.' 'Is Boston near Tendon?'
" No.'
"(With a sly wink at his friends.
'About how far?'
" 'About 3000 miles.'
" 'How much In English currency dli

" 'I never made the calculation.'
" 'Which do you like best, the Brltlsl
or the Russian armies?'
" 'I have seen very few Russian sol

" 'Well, which do you prefer?'
" 'The English.'
" Why?'
" 'Because, they are my cousins.'
" 'Do you like the English or th
American soldiers best?'
" 'The American, of course.'
" 'Why?'
"'They are my countrymen.'"
Later, to avoid further questioning
the American took a self-defensive re
venge. ,
After some particularly maddentni
questions, he yawned and asked:
"'Are you married?'
" 'Yes.'
'"How many wives have you got?'
"The man stared stupidly, and said
'Only one.'
"'Is that all?' I said. "How man:
has the fat man got, and the man wltl
gray beard? Ask them, will you?'
"There was a moment of sputtering
