The old woman's words had kind of skeered me. Them revenew fellers was around lookin fur stills, and 1 was lia ble to run across 'ema In the woods any time. If they ketched me with a keg of moonshine on my shoulder, it meant a year in prison fur me fur suah.

"Then Bill Hope chips in and says It's-a tonderful that a man who has killed a tildcat with a club should be afraid of toodchucks.

How a Billiard Table Was Smuggled Into the Barraeks at West Point and the Story cf Its Ace-idental Discovery. T:ere are many t:aditions and sto ries of escapaies at the Military acade my at West Point that are handed down from :lass to class. and one of the most iutecrsting of these is that re lating to the billiard table. Shortly after the civil war the cadets, always on the alert for some new scheme for amusement, decided that they would like to have a billiard table and ac cordingly organized a billiard club. A collection was taken up with which to purchase a table, and a suitable place was sought in which to set it up. Until the present steam heating apparatus was installed in the cadet barracks. about 30 years or more ago. the heat ing was by means of furnaces. The basement of the sixth division of the barracks was used for coal bins, the bins being so arranged that there was a large one near the center of the building, which could only be reached by passing through one of the others. After considering all available places this coal bin was finally selected as be ing the place least liable to detection, for it must be remembered the table was unauthorized. The table was bought in New York and sent to Garrisons, across the river, for there was no West Shore railroad In those days. One cold winter night it was hauled by a team of oxen across the river on the ice and up the bill and was safely stowed away in the coal bin before morning. The table was soon set up and became a source of great enjoyment to the cadets. A keg of I beer was always kept on tap. and. lamps were hung from the ceiling. giv Ing the room a cheery appearance The members of the club used to gath er there at all hours of the day and night. when their presence was not re quired elsewhere by their duties, and sit around smoking. drinking and tell ing stories while two of them played billiards. The authorities soon became aware that there was a billiard table some where in the barracks, for they could hear the balls clicking together. but they could not find it. The cadets con tinued to enjoy the privileges of the billiard club for more than a year. Finally one night soon after mid night, as do officers were returning from a convivial evenigg at the mess. they saw two cadets, clad in their un derclothing and dressing gowns, emerge from the north sallyport and disappear down the steps to the area way in front of the barracks. Instant ly the thought of the billiard table flashed through the minds of the two officers, and they started quietly after the cadets. On reaching the basement doorway of the sixth division the two cadets entered, and the officers, arriv ing a moment later, saw them climb over a pile of coal and enter an open door, through which came sounds of laughter and conversation and the clicking of halls, while the air was la den with fragrant tobacco smoke. The officers paused for a moment and held a whispered consultation. Finally deciding that they would tell the other orheers of their discovery and have all of them come down the fol lowing night and enjoy the fun of a. raid on the club, they withdrew and went home. Next day all the officers at the post were informed of the dis covery, and it was arranged that the raid should occur at midnight. All might hatve ;;one well, and the officers might have had their little fun, had it not been that there were three cadets the previous night instead of two. The third had forgotten his pipe and had gone back for it. while the other two went on and were discover ed by the officers. The thIrd, coming along a moment later, saw the officers and quietly followed them, observing all their movements and listening to their whispered 'con versation. When they withdrew, he went in and told the members of the club all he had heard and seen. The cadets at once realized that It was all up with the club, but they determined to have a laugh at the expense of the officers. Accordingly all arrangements were made before the club adjourned that night The next night the officers met as ar ranged and crept stealthily down the areaway and into the sixth division. Hearing no sound of clicking balls. some became skeptical and concluded the whole thing was a hoax, but never theless they pushed on and climbed over the pnie of coal. Opening the door, they were greeted with a glow of light, but still no sound. On entering they found the room deserted, but there were the billiard table, an almost untouched keg of beer, several pounds1 of tobacco, some chairs and lastly a note on the table, addressed to the offi cers on duty at West PoInt. The note was to the eff'ect that as the officers of the post had been so kind as to permit the club to continue its existence for more than a year it desired to present to them (the officers) the table and all] its appurtenances, as it was deerped expedient to wind up the club's affairs. The note was signed "The Executive Committee." The officers, of course, were much chagrined at being thus outwitted by the cadets. Nevertheless the table was removed to the otficers' mess and, ac cording to tradition, is the one still in use there.-New York Tribune. Practice.

BOYLET : WASPS ACT IN A TRAGEDY. But They Come Very Near Turning It Into a Comedy. "One of the most laughable scenes I ever witnessed during the representa tion of one of Shakespear s trage dies." shid a vwell known theatrical laager to the writer the other day, "hiappeuel to the late Tom Keene when lie was performiiing in a northern Ne' York to\wn. The company was playing '.ilius Cw.:ir.' and at the last ltonitIt it was found that the property imian hal 1I'iled to send up the regular tir::t ebuir used in the sen ate st-ene. ::il anM oh! r1:s:ie chair was hastily procured from t ie lft of the theater and, after being covered with drapin;:. was pressed into service. In the uhist of the scene a largi' wasp' nest ias discovered attached to ti chair, nl its inhabit::nts. becoming indignalit at the disturbance they had suffered. began to swarm about the stage. seeking revenge upon the Ro mans in their low necked and short sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to be particularly offended with Cesar, and it is doubtful if Cosar's death scene was ever acted with more feel ing, for at the moment he was being pierced by the conspirators' daggers the wasps were most industrious in their work. \. '"Iu the tent scene where Cesar ap pears to Brutus one might almost have doubted its being the real Ctvsar. It was the same in form and dress, but the face was no longer the same. In the last act Brutus had one eye closed, Antony a swollen lip. Cassius an en lared chin. Lucins an inequality in the size of his hands and Octavius Casar a nose that would have done service as the. famous nasal organ of Bardolf In 'Henry IV.' "The tragedy cane very near becom ing a roaring comedy *hen Mr. Keene. as Cassius. said. 'Antony. the posture of your blows is yet unknown but for your words; they rob the Hybla bees and leave them honeyless.' and the actor who was doing Antony replied. 'Not stingless too.' "-Washington Star. ELECTION DAY. How It Came to Be Tues'day After First Monday In November. The designation of the day for hold ing the presidential election is left to congress. The first act passed by it re lating to that subject was in 1792. It provided that presidential electors should be appointed "within 34 days before the first Wednesday in Decem ber." This left each state free to select a day to suit itself within those limits. Pennsylvania chose electors on the last Friday in October. Other states elect ed theirs on different days between the beginning and middle of November. When Harrison was elected in 1840, the Democrats asserted that his suc cess was due partly to fraudulent vot ig, which was made possible by the lack of a definite election day. It' was alleged that Kentucky and Ohio Whigs had voted in both states, the election being held on different days. So in 1S45 the Democrats passed the law now on the statute books malking the first Tuesday after the first Monday election day. At that tine but five of the 26 states had their elections in November. In Michigan and M1ississippi voting was carried on through two days-the first Monday and the following Tuesday. New York had three election days-the first Monday. Tuesday and WVednes day-but had finally confined voting to the middle day. or~ the first Tuesday after the first 3Ionday. Manssachusettsf chose state ofiicers on the second Mion ay in Nov-ember and Delaware on the econdl Tuesday. So congress selected the first Tuesday after the first Mion ay to consult the convenience of three states out of five, one of the three be ing the implortant state Of New York. Chicago Tribune.
