Not Reliable.?A horse had been stolen
from a Held, and the evidence all
pointed to a certain doubtful character
of the neighborhood as a culprit. At
the trial the defendant's counsel tried
to confuse a farmer whose testimony
was particularly damaging.
"You, say," the lawyer asked, "that
you can swear to having seen this man
drive a horse past your farm on the
day in question?"
"I can," replied the witness wearily.
"What time was this?"
"I told you it was about the middle
of the afternoon."
"Hut I don't want any 'abouts' or
middles.' I want the exact time."
"Why," said the farmer, "I don't always
carry a gold watch with me when
I'm digging potatoes."
"But you have a clocK in me nous*-,
haven't you?"
"Yes."
"Well, what time was it by that?"
"Why, just 19 minutes past 10."
"You were in the field all the morning?"
went on the lawyer, smiling
suggestively.
"I was."
"How far from the house is this
field?"
"About half a mile."
"You swear, do you, that by the
clock in your house it was exactly 19
minutes past 10?"
"I do."
Lawyer (triumphantly)?"I think that
will do."
Farmer?"I ought perhaps to say that
too much reliance should not be placed
upon that clock, as it got out of gear
about six months ago, and it's been 19
minutes past 10 ever since."
Wasted Indignation.?Grabbing her
handbag, the size of a small portmanteau,
and her Pomeranian dog, and
clutching a muff that by its size must
have once held a young bear, the lady
of ample dimensions intimated to the
passengers of the car that she wished
to alight.
"Conductor," she exclaimed furiousi"
"t tKn.iorh t tni#! vim to nut me olf

at Granville road?"
"But, madam?"
"Don't start making excuses!" she
retorted.
"But you asked?" began the conductor.
"Oh, yes, I know all about your not
being able to remember where every
one wants to get off! I'll report you for
insolence if you argue any further!"
Gently assisting her to alight, and
signaling the engineer, the conductor
touched his cap.
"I'm sorry, madam," he said with a
smile, "but I only wanted to say that
Granville road is half a mile further
on!"'
She Hadn't Read It.?They were
talking on the curiosity of servants the
other night when Congressman Edward
E. Browne, of Wisconsin, said that the
twist in the conversation reminded him
of an incident that happened in a suburban
home.
Some time ago, he said. Mrs. Smith
summoned her negro maid to her room
and asked her if the postman had left
any mail. Belinda replied that there
was nothing except a postal card. "A
postal card!" exclaimed Mrs. Smith,
wonderingly. "Who is it from?"
"Doan' know, ma'am," was the innocent
rejoinder of Belinda. "I didn't
read it."
"Well, it's just this," emphatically
declared Mrs. Smith. "Anybody who
sends me a message on a postal card
either very stupid or very thoughtless."
" 'Scuse me, ma'am," quickly interposed
Belinda, with a hurt expression,
"but does yo think dat's de right way
to talk 'bout yo own mother?"
Ireland Again.?He had heard and
read a lot about Ireland, but had never
been in the country before.
As he passed through an almost uninhabited
district he came upon a cottage.
He drew near, and, to his horror,
beheld a poor old woman seated on
a stone outside the hut with all her
humble belongings gathered round her.
An eviction! Then what he had read
was true, after all. He looked at the
resigned face of the old dame, seated
with her household goods around her,
alone in that desolate land.
He must do something. Walking up
to her, he tenderly placed a five pound
note in her thin hand. He noted with
some pleasure the look of amazement
that grew in her eyes as she realized
this generosity.
"Tell me, what is the trouble, mother?"
he asked gently.
"Thank ye, koindly, sir! It's me old
man inside whitewashin' the place
from top to bottom!"
Brain Exercise.?There had been serious
trouble in a certain school. One
of the teachers said he was no believer
in the old hackneyed system of teaching.
"What is wanted," said he, "is something
which will make the children
think and reason for themselves. Mere
addition and subtraction are too mechanical."
in opm.vHnnop with his ideas he eav"
his pupils 100 questions, of which the
following is a specimen:
"What is it that can go up a spout
down, but cannot go down a spout up?"
The brain fever hospitals thereabouts
were full of children for weeks afterward,
and the teacher was dismissed
without a character, yet the answer to
the riddle was very simple: "An umbrella."
Willing to Talk.?Little Bertha was
invited out to dinner with her father
and mother. Before she went, however,
it was firmly impressed upon her
mind that she must not speak unless
spoken to. All went smoothly for a
while, but when some time had elapsed
and no notice was taken of her she began
to get uneasy.
Finally, the hostess, seeing som"thing
was wrong, asked her what she
would like next.
"I should like to have you begin to
ask me questions," was the polite reply.
Right.?Mrs. Mason's colored washer-woman,
Martha, was complaining of
Iter husband's health.
"Why, is he sick, Martha?" asked
Mrs. Mason.
"He's ve'y po'ly, ma'am, ve'y poly,"
answered the woman. "He's not the
exclamatory rheumatism."
"You mean inflammatory, Martha,"
said the patron. "Kxclamatory means
to cry out."
"Yes, ma'am." replied Martha, with
conviction: "dat's what it is. He hollers
all the time."
Doesn't Talk Yet.?Mr. Flatte?1
think the baby takes after you. dear.
Mrs. Flatte?You do?
"Yes. I do. See, he keeps his
mouth tfointr all the time, but doesn't j
say anythinsr."?Yonkers Statesman.
IN PERIL IN SAHARA
????
By Julius Neumann.
The climutic conditions of Sidi BelAbbes
and the treatment an Austrian
receives in the ranks of the French
! oreign Legion are not such us to inspire
him with the wish to stay there
forever.
So at the first opportunity I decided
to make my escape. I was orderly to
Inspe. ior General Cherente, and one
day 1 secured a couple of days' leave,
and with it I took my final departure,
for I determined never to return
again.
Sidi Bel Abbes is the headquarters
of the Foreign Legion in Algeria, and
is about 150 miles from Oran. My objective
was Tunis, where, if fortune
favored me, I might be able to embark
for my native, or some other native's
land.
From Sidi Bel Abbes I fled by train
to Mascara, but after that I had to
walk. From Mascara I walked to Rerigaux,
and the distance didn't seem
short.
From Perigaux I trudged on the
way to Orleansville, keeping as near
to the railway as I dared, for as you
know there are pickets and Legion detectives
posted all along the lines of
comfortable retreat, keeping a keen
lookout for deserters such as myself.
It was on the road to Orleansville
that I fell In with two other deserters,
an Austrian and a Russian, but they
regarded me with such suspicion that
for a long time the latter kept me at
a respectful distance with a six-shooter.
They thought I might be a government
spy, out to betray or arrest
them.
After some little parley I managed
to convince them that I, too, was a gen- 1
uine refugee like themselves and they
agreed to give me the opportunity of 1
proving the exception to the rule of
"t'vos company?
I discovered that the Austrian was
a deserter from the 7th regiment of !
the Foreign Legion, stationed at Saida;
I don't know where the Russian 1
came from, but the poor fellow turned
out to be a friend in need and a companion
worth meeting. !
It was near Merdja that we met,
and we had to take a very wide cir- 1
cuit to Orleansville in order to avoid
coming in contact with the nomads or
Arabs, who would either kill or betray 1
us.
Whenever we purchased food from
the nomads we always made them
taste it themselves first, then if they
didn't die sudden deaths or swoon
away into sublime unconsciousness we
would know that we had paid them 1
more than the government.
When we took our departure we
would leave in a different direction to
that we really wanted to go, in order
to put them off the track, and revert
to the road that led to our destination
when we were well away.
After four days' travel, during which
we practically starved, we arrived in
an utterly filthy, miserable condition
at the outskirts of Orleansville.
Of course we could not at any time
show ourselves, for we naturally still
wore various portions of the Legion
uniform, and deserters are prey for
every one.
We hid in an old church, which was
in ruins, until night time, when the
Russian decided to go to a nobleman
of his country he knew in the town,
who would most likely give us help of
some sort. The Russians are not fond
of the French Foreign Legion, and
will generally do something to help de
set iri s.
Our friend seemed to be in touch
with an enthusiast of his sort, for
presently he returned laden with good
things, food, clothes anfl bottles of
water.
It appeared also that our friend had
bravely refused the nobleman's offer
to escape with him?if he had gone,
his escape would have been comfortable
and assured: but we had all previously
made a solemn vow under no
circumstances ever to part, and the
Russian kept his word, saying he had
two friends outside the city, and asked
for assistance for the three, were
the present result mentioned.
On the road from Orleansvllle to
Constantine our real troubles began.
Long before we had reached ltoghari
the Russian fell sick.
The greatest danger arose when we
discovered detachments of the French
Legion at maneuvers. We had to wade
into the shallows of the River Larba,
so that the water came up to our
necks. The weeds hid our heads, and
I kil-Ktiiljl W!?v \v-4> mnrlo nlwnit 9 3 mil??sc
a day wading and hiding in that filthy
river.
We eventually reached Boghari, after
a wide detour via the Sahara, but
all the time we were continually being
driven into hiding by the sight of a
picket or a band of nomads.
It was somewhere near Thaza that
the Russian died. He knew that he
was doomed, and asked us to leave
him. but we would not.
We made the poor fellow as comfortable
as we could, but we ourselves
were in as pitiable a state as mortals
could be, clad in the very shreds of
clothes, no food, no water, hungry,
footsore and miserable.
""I am?all gone!" he muttered. We
almost cursed heaven, so helpless
were we in our necessarily crude ministrations.
Without emotion we heard
this poor Free-thinker babble of his
unbeliefs?it was with his physical
pain we were concerned, and we did
our miserable "all" to alleviate it. The
unbeliever gasped his last words:
"oh, Lord, save my soul."
A small stream of blood spurted
from his mouth, gushing over his face
and neck, and life left his tormented
body.
We covered his face with a thatch
of grass, and carried his body to the
roadside, where it might be found by
a passing Bedouin caravan. To his
wrist we tied a note explaining how
he had eome to die. and requesting
those who found him to bury him.
This done the Austrian and 1 looked
at each other. I was on the verge
J of breaking down, but he. more practical,
stooped down and took the dead
man's revolver and what little money
he had. and?we continued our journey.
We arrived at a small village, and
boarded with a man, who wouldn't
give us up providing we paid, slept and
ate for a day and departed at night
for Set if.
Once we came upon the half-decayed
body of a desul bird, who in life
had got the worst of an encounter
with another, and we devoured it as
eagerly as though it were the daintily
cooked breast of a tender chicken.
At other times we filled our stomachs
with wood, ltiver water was impossible
to drink, since the surface of it
represented several kinds of fever. At
last we arrived at Constantine.
Constantine is divided into three
quarters?Arab, Jewish and European
?and, as Algerian towns go, it is
rather fine.
1 was able to speak to the Jews, and
they weren't lung in realizing and appreciating
uur sad plight. They put
us up for the night, bandaged my leg.
and my friend's arms, and gave us
food and drink and money.
Those Jews behaved like good Samaritans,
and for generosity commend
me to them. The next day they gave
us careful directions where to go. and
where not to go, how to get through
the town to the road to Tunis unobserved,
and finally equipped us with
an Arab guide to lead us there.
As we followed the guide we drew
near to the famous Elkanta bridge.
The city is split into two portions?
the Jewish and Arab quarters on one
rock, anu tne European on me oincr,
and the awful yawning chasm that divided
them was crossed by this bridge.
As we passed over I looked down
and the sheerness of the gap made me
shudder; yet I made an involuntary
remark to my friend:
"Sooner we lay dead at the bottom
there than be captured now!"
We saw the last of Constantine at
10 o'clock that night, and, to put it
briefly, arrived after two days' tramp
through Sahara at Tebessaba, where
we filled our water bottles.
Soon after we left here we had
once again perforce to take to the
river, for we saw a great many natives
about with rifles, and we could not
make out what they were up to, but
to us it appeared very much like an
organized search for two deserters!
We discovered subsequently that
they were "chasers" and were rounding
up game for European hunters to
shoot, but we were not aware of this
at the time, and hid in the thickets
awaiting results.
I saw my companion look significantly
at his revolver, and I looked to
mine. Presently, out in the open, we
saw some Europeans leisurely stroll
up, sit down on camp stools, pull out
cigars and begin to smoke.
Presently, however, my companion
made a movement, but the hunters instantly
detected the motion, and their
rifles were raised in our direction. We
could see them through the undergrowth,
though they couldn't see us.
"Don't shoot!" I cried suddenly, "we
lire human beings!"
With them was Count Trehenyi, who
is related to the Vanderbilts by marriage,
and they consulted together as
to what they should do. They were
in favor of helping us, but. of course,
they couldn't do so openly, so when
Count Trehenyi suggested we should
be smuggled to Tunis in sacks they
usually put game in, we gladly complied.
The sacks were of a sort of waterproof,
and when we had each clambered
into one. thev nut the dead
birds and rabbits in on top of us, had
us put on top of the motor car and so
we were taken to Tunis!
In Tunis we hid for a while in Pare
du Belvidere, whilst the Count Trehenyi
fixed things up with the consul
for passports, etc., and then this second
group of good Samaritans saw us
safely shipped for Palermo.?Philadelphia
Ledger.
THE SPY IN WARFARE
Military Service that May Lead to
Glory or to Ignominious Death.
Military strategy recognizes the
strategem as a wholly honorable means
of defeating the enemy. The straightforward,
frontal attack is primitive and
is made only as a last resort. Hence,
battle history has many a story of
flanking movements, feints and ambuscades,
of bugle calls to imaginary battalions,
of wooden "Quaker" guns
mounted to add apparent strength, and
of the massing of infantry under cov<
r of a cloud of cavalry. Sea warfare
also has its ruses. Many a hard-pressed
ship has hoisted a foreign flag to
mislead her foe; false gun-ports were
often painted on the broad white band
which marked the battery; and a swift
frigate, apparently fleeing under full
sail, would sometimes trail a sunken
drag-rope to reduce Her speed and
thus draw the enemy within range. By
age-long custom, then, "all is fair in
war," and in deception by strategem,
the end justifies the means.
The spy's work is simply an extension
of the principle to individual and
covert reconnaissance. It has served
all armies since Moses sent Joshua "to
spy out the land of Canan." There is
no nobler story of our revolutionary
days than that of Xathan Hale. But.
while military law decrees the same ignominious
death to both, military opinion
differentiates sharply between the
infamous traitor or paid spy and the
daring officer who hazards all, when,
in disguise, he penetrates the enemy's
lines. Benedict Arnold lies in a nameless
and dishonored grave; Major Andre
rests in Westminster Abbey.
The spy is always a volunteer; the
possible ignominy of the mission forbids
that any officer or private soldier
shall be ordered to perform it. In all
our wars, however, fearless men have
fulfilled it when need arose. Admiral
Melville, the Arctic explorer, when a
young officer, went as a civilian visitor
to the Confederate cruiser Florida, at
the risk of being hanged from her
yardarm. During the Spanish-American
war. Lieutenant Ward, of the navy,
inspected the dockyards of Spain;
Lieutenant (now Rear Admiral) Victor
Blue climbed the Santiago hills to observe
Cevera's fleet, and a daring army
officer "carried the message to Garcia."
Finally tlie Vera Cruz dispatches state
that Major Butler, of the Marine corps,
recently traveled in civilian dress to
and from Mexico City, seeking military
information. These achievements merit
the greatest honor. The courage which
they recpiire is a higher attribute than
mere physical bravery on the firing
line.
Smith's Experiment.? Congressman
Klls worth R. Rathrick, of (Hjio, joined
in when the talk turned to savage
dogs. He said lie was reminded of a
party named Smith.
Some time ago Smith and a friend
were discussing the dog question when
tlie friend remarked that the most vicious
dog might lie utterly subdued
merely by a person sitting down and
staring at him.
"Right you are. old pal," was the
ready response. "I know, for I once
tried it on. Dog was coming at me at
the rate of a mile a minute, and all that
I did was to sit down and stare at
him."
"I am glad to hear you say that," responded
the friend. "It is a confirmation
of what science has always maintained."
"Yes, old fellow." grinned Smith,
"but I should have added that when I
sat down I choose the top limb of a (50foot
tree."
