A Joko That Failed. The clerk 4 a supply stora in southern Colorado did not know In dian nature very well when he invited a Ute chief to a boxing bout. After explaining the use of the gloves, which the cemf seemed to readily under stand. they went into a vacant room in the rear of the store to spar. The gloves were adjusted, and the clerk invited the chief to hit him. This, of course, he failed to do, as Indians nev er strike with their hands in conflict. All at once the clerk struck out, and, catching the chief under the ear, land ed him on the floor. This was enou-h. The Indian sprang to his feet, pulled off the gloves, jerked out a knife, and the clerk had to run for his life. For tunately he managed to keep out of reach until some friends caught the infuriated Indian and held him until he cooled off. Then the clerk explain ed the joke, but with very poor suc cess. The chief consented to forego vengeance for the insult, but he was never friends with the clerk again. Sf. Louis Globe-Democrat. Ornamented With Scars. The natives of some of the islands of the Pacific are always glad to see the doctor on his periodical visits. At Kaiser Wilhelm's harbor the German government has stationed Dr. Heise gang as medical officer. He is a busy man. Natives by the dozen come to him, not to be treated for illndss. but ,to get the benefit of his professional 4ppinion on how to scar themselves ar tistically. The natives are very fond of scars. and nearly all of them are covered with specimens which have resulted from self inflicted wounds which were kept open by frequent scratching or by the introduction of foreign substances like sand, bamboo, shells and so forth. The excrescence which results from the average vacci nation is scratched off at the proper time, and the resulting large scar is very dear to the native. A young islander whose face and body are a mass of cuts. bruises and scars is con sidered the catch of the season by the dusky belles. They Couldn't Help It. During the American invasion of Porto Rico, in the course of the war with Spain, General Tasker H. Bliss with his troops, was stationed near a village held by an overwhelming force of Spaniards. Orders were to keep his "eye peeled" and, if he heard any thing suspicious, to ' fall back about eight miles. Instead of this his men turned in one day and captured the village, chasing the Spaniards out The next day the commander of the American forces came along to find Bliss sitting in front of the home of the chief man of the village. The com mander asked him why he had attack ed the Spanish force, when he knew that he was outnumbered. "Coulda't help it," said General Bliss. "You see, my men have been hungry for some days, and the wind blew toward them from the village, and some squaw was frying onions over there- And so" Argonaut. Jefferson as an Inventor. Not many people know that Thomas Jefferson was a great inventor. His in ventions were all of articles of every day use. He devised a three legged folding camp stool that is the basis of all camp stools of that kind today The stool he had made for his own! use was his constant companion on oc casions of outings. The revolving chair was his invention. He designed a light wagon. A copying press was devised by him and came into general use. He also invented an instrument for measuring the distance he walked. A plow and a hemp cultivator showed that his thoughts were often on agri cultural matters. His plow received a gold medal in France in 1790., Jeffer son never benefited financially by his inventions, but believed they should be for the use of everyone without cost He Didn't Know. One June day in 1862 near Freder ckshall, Va., General Stonewall Jack son saw one of General Hood's Texans climbing a fence to get into a cherry tree. "Where are you going?" shouted Jackson. "I don't know," replied the soldier. "'To what command do vou belong?" "'I don't know," the Texan replied. "Well, what state are you from?" "I don't know." Jackson gave the man up, but he asked a comn rade what it all meant. "Well," was the reply, "Old Stonewall and General Hood gave orders yesterday that we were not to know anything until after the next fight" The soldier was left to his cherries. An Innocent Query. At a dinner party in England the host introduced to the favorable notice of the company, amid murmurs of ad m iration, a splendid traffied pheasant "Isn't it a beauty?" he said. "Dr. Soand-so gave It to me; killed it him self.'" "Ah! What was he treating it for?" asked one of the guests. One Disadvantage.

Belief In Ghosts. In most of the Oriental countrieCs, otaby in China and'in many quar ters in Europe, the belief in ghosts is still activ-e, quite as much so as it was a thousand years ago. The peasantry of Russia. and especially of Siberia. re in constant dread of ghosts, and much of their time is taken up with devising ways and means of safeguard ig themselves against their visita tions.

When the man and woman started : down the subway stairs the man felt In his pockets for tickets. "By George!" he said. "Isn't-tjat a shame? I've got to stop In all this mob and buy tickets." 1 "Oh, no, you haven't," said the wo : man. "I have them.

Once upon a time a landlady in Washington called on President An drew Jackson and told of a govern ment clerk who owed her a big bill for board. In those days It was easy to have access to the White House. President Jackson listened to her story and advised her to get a promis sory note from the- clerk and put it in bank. She replied: "I've done that twice, general, and he won't pay even then." "Is that so?" said the president in 1 surprise. "Now you go and get his note and bring it to me. I simply want to see it, and rm sure that the clerk wiR pay that note. Go and bring it to me." The landlady did so, and soon return ed with the promissory note. The president turned it over and wrote across the back of it his own indorse ment: "A. Jackson." That note was paid at maturity. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Waves In Solid MetaL As Illustrating the advances in metal lurgy and engineering it has- been demonstrated that solid metals may reveal by their structuri the vibra tions to which they have been subject ed. In explaining this phenomenon experiments have been shown proving that a beautiful wave structure can be imparted to the surface of mercury by the vibrations of a tuning fork, and that even the surface of solid lead which had been subjected to simia vibrations possesses a structure re sembling that of a vibrating surface of mercury.
