fiumorous 5 r part men t. Having Fun With Her Hubby. There's nothing in that about women not having any sense of humor. Here's a case that happened. The Campions, Mr. and Mrs., boarded the Euclid car to make the homeward Journey. Campion had just discovered that he was entirely without funds, except a check tucked away in his pocketbook? not even a dime for carfare. "I've spoken to you several times about such carelessness," observed Mrs. Campion In a vexed tone. "If I didn't happen to have 20 or 30 cents in my purse we'd have to walk home, for it's too late for you to get that check cashed. You ought to make sure that you have change in your pocket before you get on the street car." "Oh, well, s'long as you've got carfare let's don't worry about what might 1 " *" * * ?

The car was so nearly filled that they couldn't get seats together, but sat down on opposite sides of the aisle, stin glaring at each other. The conductor came up for Campion's fare. "My wlfe'll hand It to you," says Campion, nodding in the direction of his helpmeet. The fare taker went over to her. She handed him a quarter and he gave her 15 cents change. "What's this for,?my change a nickel short?" she inquired Icily. "Took out for your husband,'" replied the conductor. She looked around. What! That man told you to get his fare from me? Why, I never saw him before. He's an impostor." Campion was game. And all that saved him from being put oft the car was that he persuaded the conductor to accept three 2-cent stamps.?Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Great Orator. The appeal that a fine flow of oratory will make to men and women was amusingly exemplified one night at a meeting in west .rnuaaeipnia, says a Philadelphia paper. A noted speaker was appealing to a gathering to give funds toward the work of cleaning the slums, making life healthy and happy for the poor and other Utopian schemes of men and women whose hearts throb with longing to help their kind. For half an hour he drew pictures of the conditions; then with expressive gestures and his voice throbbing with enthusiasm he poured out a flow of rhetoric. "Our duty, our flag, our country," dotted the speech with Italics. The audience shouted and cheered, and the women wept, while a storm of applause swept the room when the speech was over. "That's going some, e*i?" said one man to another In the cloakroom later. "Fine sentiments, real feeling? great, great!" "I'm so deaf." spoke up another, with disappointment In his voice, "that I couldn't hear. What did he say?" "Say?say!" stammered the others, looking Into each other's faces. "Why?he?he?er?hanged If I know!" And to this day they don't know. It was only the "holler' that got them, not the words. This Is, however, what makes the orator. A True Story. Some years ago In a certain town in the north a gentleman possessed of more money than education, was asked to address the scholars attending one of the local schools some Sunday afternoon. "Well, chlldwen," said he, "I's not used to public speyking, but I remember when I was a lad I was very fond of hearing a story. Shall I tell ye a story?" "Once upon a time many years ago there was a lad, a very good lad, who went regularly to Sunday school and niwer missed. But one Sunday afternoon as he was gawin' to school kr?^ Kamc. rnn? Kim onH norQllfl^pd him to gan bird nesting wlv 'em. So they went alang by the riverside, and by and by they came to a tree, and in the tree on a branch which overhung the watter was a nest. The two bad lads sent the good lad to climb the tree and fetch the eggs. Up he went and. got on the branch, farther and farther, and Just as he was reaching out his hand to tak' the nest the branch brok', and he fell into the river and was drooned." After waiting a few moments to allow his hearers to thoroughly grasp the full extent of the catastrophe he resumed with: "Childwen, the story is true, for the lad that was drooned was me."? London Tit-Bits. Squelching a Smart Lawyer.?In a suit tried in a Virginia town, says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, a young lawyer was addressing a jury on a point of law, when good-naturedly he turned to the opposing counsel, a man of much experience, and asked: '"PhoiV* lo'Ht T holiovp Pnl W CI TV kins' ' Whereupon Hopkins, with a smile of conscious superiority replied: "Sir, I have an office in Richmond wherein I shall be delighted to enlighten you on any point of law for a consideration." The youthful attorney, not in the least abashed, took from his pocket a half dollar piece, which he offered to Col. Hopkins, with this remark: "No time like the present. Take this, sir; tell us what you know and give me the change." Led By the Nose.?An analytical chemist was retained as a skilled witness some years ago, where there were questions of analytical chemistry. There was one case where a farmer had bought some artificial manure, and he was being sued for the price of it. He resisted payment on the ground that the material had none of the qualities of manure at all. The expert chemist was one of the witnesses, and had stated that, although the substance had the smell, it had none of the chemical qualities of manure. Under cross-examination he was asked, if that was so, how did he account for hundreds of the best farmers having taken the manure for many years. "They must have been led by the nose," returned the witness.?Dundee Advertiser. Doing Very Well.? "How's your son making out in business?" asked the first capitalist. "Very well, indeed," replied the other; "he's got a quarter of a million." "Why, you started him with a million, didn't you?'

Northern Women Walk From Charleston to Savannah. "For a walking trip at this season, I recommend the southern states, Georgia and the Cterolinas especially." The speaker was a young woman of limited means who boasts of having tramped in every state in the Union. "If you haven't any money to throw away it is better to go in twos or fours. "Many persons fancy that three is an ideal number for a walking trip. That is a mistake, for as a rule two or four can get accommodations in the country fnr ?h?? same nrice as one or three. I have made five walking- trips in the states mentioned during the winter and always enjoyed them hugely. "Of the five, I believe I like the one where my college chum, her married cousin and the husband of the latter accompanied me. We look the boat to Charleston, where we spent six days seeing the city. We saw the city and much of the surrounding country, the azalea garden and the tea plantation Included at a cost of 75 cents in car fares. We stopped in a boarding house near the Battery, where we got excellent accommodations and delicious meals at the rate of $1 a day. This included three meals a day and when we were to be away the lady of the house gladly put us up a bountiful lunch. "From Charleston we tramped straight across the country to Beaufort, stopping over night usually at the *?? #ft??mnp nr AAnntrv irpn t ]p IllUlltr ui a tai iuvi v? ov..! man. At the north, when on a walking trip, you would not think of approaching the home of wealthy citizen, or even a well-to-do person and asking to be taken in for the night It is quite different in the south, as we found out on that trip. "Our first night out from Charleston we passed a large, prosperous looking place and stopped at a small house a quarter of a mile further on. When we made our wants known to the mistress she looked at us helplessly, then said yes, of course she woud take us in and do the best she could for us, but why hadn't the major taken us in? When we explained that we hadn't dared to ask the major, she gave us another stare and Informed us that everybody stopped at the major's. He had a big house and all his children were married off. So back to the major's we went. "We received a royal reception, or at least it seenjed so to us. Dogs by the dozen met us before we reached the yard gate and their barks and yelps brought several groups of negroes, grown ups and children and finally the major himself appeared at the top of the tall front steps. "The man of our party tried to talk business in the way of asking the cost of lodgings and meals, but it was of 110 use. The major waived his questions aside and invited us in. We were shown to large rooms on the second floor, and though the furniture seem ed scanty to our eyes, accustomed as we were to seeing the same number of pieces In one-quarter of the space, we found them more than comfortable. "That Is until bedtime came, when we found ourselves sinking out of sight of each other In a feather bed. Of course, being college bred women my chum and I had been taught the unwholesomeness of such beds. Equally of course, we both knew that we should have got up at once and removed the feathers and made ourselves comfortable on the two cotton mattresses beneath. "Unfortunately for our training we were both tired, and after talking the matter over we decided to try It for one night. It proved to be for all night, too, for neither of us opened our eyes again until aroused the next morning by an unusual sound, when we discovered a negro girl on her knees before the fireplace building a fire. She assured us that It was terrifically cold as she had found Ice in the water bucket on the back piazza Of course, we decided to follow her advice and remained In bed until the fire burned. "After breakfast we paid the negro housekeeper 75 cents each, the major and Mrs. Major having been amply repaid for our company. As we were leaving the housekeeper handed the man of the party a parcel neatly wrapped in a newspaper at the same time putting Into my hands a paper covered bottle. She explained that it was something to stay our stomachs when we got tired walking and in case we came back that way, which of course they all hoped we would do, I might bring her the bottle. "The bottle contained delicious cold coffee with both milk and sugar, while the parcel was made up of fresh biscuits. broiled ham and four large baked yams. There was a plenty of it though we all had ravenous appetites when we stopped by the roadside under a live oak and with a beautiful view of the ocean for lunch. "One of the charms about this particular trip Is the sea views you get. On the other side you often see groves of moss draped oaks interspersed with tall gaunt pines and tropical looking palmetto trees. Sometimes we were quite near the sea and then again we were forced to go miles inland by a salt marsh. "At Beaufort we spent a week again In a boarding house, though I have since learned that we might have stayed at the one hotel at about the same rates because of the season. This place has not yet been discovered by the health or pleasure seeker from the north and for that reason board and meals can be had in the winter even cheaper than in either Charleston or Savannah. During the summer it is crowded because the people from the Interior come down for salt bathing and the sea air. "We enjoyed our week here, though to many persons the place might not appeal on account of its being so quiet. Fortunately the man of our party was interested in the fossil remains of fish that are taken from the river beds near Beaufort and after being ground are sold as fertilizer. We put in two days investigatihg these fossils and inspecting the factories where the pulverizing is done. "Another day we tramped down to the point where Ribaut is said to have erected the first fort built on this continent. excepting of course that built by the Spanish at St. Augustine. It was at this spot, so we were informed by a gentleman from Beaufort who acted as our guide, that the Spaniards, finding the fort insufficiently defended, killed the inmates and left behind the written taunt, 'not as to Frenchmen, but as to heretics and infidels.' "While I can't say that our guide pointed out the very live oak that this writing was posted on he told us the story and pointed out the outlines of the fort which are still plainly to be seen at low tide. This fort was built of a mixture of lime, shell and pebbles and behind It on the land side' there is a wonderful grove of old live oaks. Standing at the extremity of the point on which it once stood, Beaufort can be seen on one hand, Port Royal on the other and Paris Island almost directly in num. "This trip was taken in a small sailboat though it might easily have been walked as it is only about a couple of miles from Beaufort. It was on our return from Ribaut's fort that our guide showed us an old history in which the writer after describing the wonderful advantages of the harbor of Port Royal declared that it would never be a place of any importance. There was no reason given for this declaration and we found the belief amounted almost. to a superstition among the people of Beaufort. "Speak of Port Royal as a future seaport and they shrug their shoulders. Once while talking about Paris Island after our visit to see the naval station, the people listening said it would never be any sort of a place, the government could never make a place of any Importance of it because it was too near Port Royal. "There are several haunted houses in Beaufort. There is also the grave Jf an unknown nameless woman, a beautiful lady who came to the place in the days of the grandparents of the present generation, lived, died and was buried without so much as her name being known. "The waterfront of Beaufort reminds you of the Battery of Charleston, though, of course the old houses are neither so many nor so handsome. The churches are old and surrounded by romantically beautiful moss draped trees, the whole inclosed in high brick walls. In every garden there were blooming flowers and people seemed willing enough to give them away. "There were several handsome yachts In the river below the town during our stay. We saw their naphtha launches going back and forth as if taking on fresh provisions or for expected mail. The natives seemed* to take no more interest in them than if they had been so many scows. In 3ome way our entire party was impressed with the fact that the people of Beaufort cared less for money than any other people in the world. Everybody had enough to eat and to spare and what they lacked 1n the way of raiment they were either unconscious of or cheerfully did without. "From Beaufort we walked to Port Royal. It consumed less that half a day though we made several side excursions, seeing everything that was suggested to us as interesting. We remained over night at Port Royal though we could have done ten miles more that day after seeing the only thing of interest, a few pens where turtles are fattened. "From Port Royal to Savannah the country is exceedingly beautiful. The growth becomes more and more tropi cal, that is to say the palmetto becomes more common and blooming: flowers are found more often In the wocds. It was early in January and the weather was very cold at the north, but during: that entire trip we were never without corsage and buttonhole bouquets. If possible we found prices cheaper and people less willing to accept payment for our board and lodging. "When passing an oyster bed, and everybody along that coast appears to possess such a piece of property, we always got as many oysters as we could eat and there was never any charge. Of course we always gave the negro, for it was always a negro gathering the oysters, something, but there was never any charge. How long such conditions will last is hard to say, but that Is the way we found them as we tramped from Charleston to Savannah. "We remained in Savannah three weeks and then returned to Charleston by boat to catch our steamer back to New York. Though Savannah is not so quaint as Charleston It Is different enough from any place you find in the east and the west to make It intensely interesting. We stopped at a boarding house recommended us by the woman with whom we had boarded in Charleston. We got comfortable rooms with well cooked meals for $8 a week. "Like our Charleston hostess this landlady kept a bountiful table and at each meal we had what appeared to us a wonderful variety of breads, always hot. Though the market of Savannah is not so famous as that of the South Carolina seaport, we found it even IntAroeHnar Kooonoo tif OTOQ tpr abundance of fruits, flowers and vegetables. Of course it was later in the season, but it impressed me that the Georgia city was the better for those who were on the lookout for the luxuries of life at the lowest prices. "We each took a small trunk with us to Charleston and when we started on our tramp shipped them by express to Savannah. For the actual tramp, we women each wore a short serge skirt, a sateen petticoat, a wash shirtwaist and a heavy knit sweater. Our shoes were the kind we had found comfortable for walking and well broken in to start with and our stockings were good quality cotton. "For a change, we carried a change of underwear, two extra shirtwaists, a pair of slippers and two pairs of extra stockings, and of course our toilet articles. We left New York with the intention of taking a supply of sweet chocolate and a few other eatables, but before the end of our week in Charleston we saw how unnecessary .they would be. Instead of a pack we carried our extras in oilcloth bags very similar to those used by some school children. "We found our supply of clothing ample, as it is always easy to get washing done. All we had to do was to stop at a neat looking negro cabin and ask how long it would take to have certain garments wasneu ana aone up. If the sun was shining only a couple of hours or so would be required. As the sun was always shining we were never detained very much longer than the time named. "A full wash, which included the underwear of the entire party, with at least one shirtwaist and one soft shirt for the man, cost 50 cents. It was always fairly well done, though our laundress invariably informed us she could do very much better if she only had time to 'bile 'em.' "When we reached Savannah my shoes were pretty nearly gone so I bought a pair. Right there is the only grudge I have against Savannah. It is almost if not quite impossible to get shoes there to fit a northern foot, they are very high in price and they wear almost no time at all. As for walking shoes though we went from store to store and looked at everything in stock, we never saw a pair of women's shoes with anything more than paper soles. The heels were almost invariably high and the size surprisingly small. "Another winter we began our tramp in Savannah and walked to Augusta and from there to Columbia, S. C. The country is beautiful, becoming more rolling as you get further inland, the people are cordial, but the prices get higher. In Augusta we found it impossible to get board for less than $12 a week. Aiken was worse and Columbia just as bad. "All three places were swarming with northerners, so after spending: a few days in each we hastened on into the country, but it took a good day's Journey to get us back to the dollar a day standard. Our average distance on both trips was fourteen miles a day. The cost of such a trip, exclusive of railroad or steamer tickets, should be about $40 a month." FEATHERED ROBBERS. The Jay and the Crow Are Outlaws Among Bird*. The Jay and the crow have a very bad reputation?that of robbing other birds' nests?and it is richly deserved. Which is the worse it were hard to say. Probably one is as bad as the other. But their methods are different. The Jay reminds one of the Jolly freebooter of old. He seems to take a pride in his depravity and to rob as much for amusement as for plunder. He will approach a neet in full day. The protests of the owner are met with Jeers of mockery, as It were. If these could be translated into words the result would be something like this: "Ha! ha! I like to hear a poor inslgnflcant little tit like you with common drab plumage threaten the like of me! You make me laugh, really. But, what's the matter with you, anyway? Do you not see that I am paying you a distinguished honor in deigning to select your eggs for my breakfast? You must be a very stupid little bird. Please stop that outcry and leave me in peace." Then after hopping from limb to limb all about the nest and displaying his gay military trappings to the full, he will proceed to pounce upon the eggs or young, as the case may be. Quite often as much of these will be scattered upon the ground as will be eaten. His whole manner is reckless and extravagant. Nor does he exhibit the least fear or appear to be in the slightest degree conscious that what he is doing is wrong. When his feast is finished he will hop about again, more gayly and superciliously than ever, and finally fly off with a mocking laugh,' while the poor little victim views the ruins of her hopes with despair. How different from all this is the crow and his manner of procedure! With the air of a midnight marauder he tries industriously to live up to it. He will only approach a nest in the dusk of morning or evening and his manoeuvres are stealthy and cautious in the eoctreme. After the discovery if the nest he will fly off a sertaln distance and takes up a position of observation. Having satisfied himself that there are no traps or surprises in store he will fly a little nearer the nest. Here he will study the owner, who now has taken alarm and those whom her cries may summon to the spot. If there is nothing to apprehend in the way of attack (and of course, usually there is not), the marauder will make his way right up to the nest, which in turn he will study while occasionally casting furtive glances about him. His air at this moment is full of interest. Dark and fierce and rapacious, there is yet a certain craven look which seems to betray a consciousness of guilt. The whole figure mniiiH fin eredlt to one of those be cloaked prowlers we read about as lurking o* nights in the byways of old Spain or Italy. The outcries of the owner of the nest, of her mate and perhaps of some sympathetic neighbors. become louder and more frantic, but they produce no effect upon the Intruder, save for the occasional sidelong furtlve glance, he remaining quite impassive. At length, when everything has been observed and studied, and there seems to be no danger imminent, the attack Is made. This is so voracious that in a few minutes all is over. Then the marauder, after wiping his bill on a branch, will betake himself away as silently as he came. If we follow his lumbering flight with our eyes we will see him light upon the top of some tree at a considerable distance and there give vent to a series of strident caws, This, no doubt, is his way of expressing satisfaction over his successful foray.?Forest and Stream.

Stories of Lieutenant Sheridan who Will Guard Banks. Owing to an affection of the eyes which Interferes with his proper vision. Lieutenant William Patrick Henry Sheridan, who Is known to the law-breaking fraternity of two continents as "the man with the camera eye," recently retired from the detective department of the New York city police force to enter Into partnership with William J. Burns, former secret service man, who is official guard of the 1,400 banks in the American Bankers' association, a trust formerly held by the Pinkerton agency. The remarkable memory for faces that characterizes Lieutf int Sherl* ? > - I v. aan S career maue iiim ?. .icuiaicu tn police circles the world over. His eye was unerring, and once the features of a criminal's faee were beheld by him they were photographed In his mind, and he never made a mistake in identification. In this regard he was one of the most valued members of the city detective force, and as "the man with the camera eye" he was a terror to evildoers of every nation. Feared By Criminals. Lieutenant Sheridan got his start under Inspector Thomas Byrnes in 1887, a year after his appointment to the force. He was sent after an assistant cashier who had robbed the National Park bank of $165,000 and after a search of six months found his quarry In a hole in the Canadian hills known as Standstead. He was instrumental In bringing hundreds of robbers, safe crackers and other criminals to justice. He especially was valuable in his identification of criminals, every mark that served to identify them being photographed in his memory. It is doubtful if there Is another man in the United States who inspired more fear than did Sheridan In the hearts of criminals with records. No man in the history of the New York police department has been so quick to see through a disguise and to identify prisoners with pictures that had been taken five, ten and even twenty years before. Many a city as far west even as San Francisco came to learn that the appearance of .Sheridan in a crowd was the surest means of ridding the city of a band of itinerant crooks. Sheridan was the man to whom the New York police department turned when all others failed to identify a prisoner. If Sheridan passed a prisoner it was taken for granted that his picture was not unong the 200,000 or more In the rogues gallery. Conviction of a Bank Sneak. A case where Sheridan made good with his camera eye is that of a bank sneak who was arrested in Brooklyn In 1903 and who gave the name of William Murphy. Murphy's picture was taken In Brooklyn and sent over to Mulberry street for Identification. "Why." Bald Sheridan, "that's Bob Suffrage; served five years In Liverpool, eight years In Brussels and two years in Sing Sing. He was arrested twenty-one years ago by Tom Mulvey, on Reynolds' stalf." Inspector Titus sent Tom Mulvey over to the Raymond street Jail In Brooklyn to Identify the prisoner. Mulvey took a look at him and reported that he never had arrested him, never had seen him. Sheridan himself had never seen Bob Suffrage. All that he had In mind were the pictures that had passed through his hands, two or three out of a total of 200,000 in the gallery. Sheridan still insisted that the Brooklyn sneak thief was notorious Bob. Finally the prisoner was arraigned before Judge Aspinall and pleaded guilty. The judge said to him: "Now I am going to ask you some questions, and if you tell the truth I'll take that into consideration in sentencing you. Is your name Bob Suffrage?" "Yes," said the prisoner, and then he went on to tell the terms he had served Just as Sheridan had done from memory several weeks before. How He Identified the Precious'Pair. ' Sheridan's friends love to tell how l he Identified Mott Haven Red and Frank Codd. They had been taken in by chance on the Bowery In New York, and when the precious pair were stood up the next day no one knew them, so they went on to Sheridan. "That's Mott Haven Red, alias Joe Fay," said Sheridan instantly. "I saw his picture ten years ago. He got nine years and eight months in Danneraora for blowing up a safe of the Standard Oil company In Syracuse." The prisoner stoutly denied his Identity, whereupon Sheridan said to a detective: "Pull up his sleeve and you'll find 'W. I. U.' tattooed on his right forearm." The letters were there. "Now look on his right hand and see if the cord on the little finger has not been shortened," said Sheridan, and it was. That was too much lor ivi uil xiavou ucu, auu uc vi/nfessed his Identity.
