Lord Dunmore, the Scottish earl / who has been touring America, talk ed at a dinner m rtoston aoout people willfully misunderstanding, and said: "They are like a certain soldier who served in my regiment. This soldier's chaplain saw Donald making for a public house one day. ^ "'Donald,' the chaplain shouted, 'Donald! Oh, Donald!' j "Donald turned, gave him a hasty look, frowned and darted into the - bar. "Thebhaplain loitered outside the door till Donald came forth again. . " 'Donald,' he said, reproachfully, 'didn't you hear me calling?' " 'Yes, sir,' Donald answered, 'J did; but?I had only the price of ^ one.'" The Motber-in-Law. i A certain mother-in-law had stopped so often with her daughter as to : cause a quarrel with the husband, and one day when she again came to stay she found her daughter in tears on the doorstep. "I suppose George has left you," she sniffed. . <4Yes"?sob. 'Then there's a woman in the ease?" she asked her eyes lighting up expectantly. "Yes" sob. v: "Who is it?" she demanded. "You"?sob. ? "Gracious!" exclaimed the motherin-law, "I am sure I never gave him any encouragement." v. mm Our idea of a good citizen, and we are glad there are many in this community, is one always ready to give, according to his means, to community enterprises. He takes stock in them all, and doesn't lose his faith if an occasional venture prove bad. He is not afraid to buy real estate and to pay what it is worth. He talks up his town at home and abroad, thinks it is the healthiest place on earth, believing.it to be destined to be the biggest city in its section and wants to be buried here when he dies. And he's worth a whole regiment of the lukewarm kind. "Grandpa," asks Tommy, "how big a fish did you ever catch?" Grandfather Tucker's eye lighted up. "I never was much at fishing, my boy," he answered. "If you diould ask me how far I could hop, step and jump, though, when I was a young man, you'd find that I can make any fishing liar look sick." ^ An Indian Legend. > A new-state paper says that the Seminole Indians believed that when ; the Great Spirit created this world he made three men, all fair of skin. ? * ** 11 iii He led tnera to a iaxe ana Daae tnem jump in. The first obeyed and came out whiter than when he entered the water the second hesitated, going into the lake when the water was a trifle muddy, hence came out copper colored; the third leaped in fast and came out Mack. According to Hie legend, the Great Spirit then led them to three bundles, asking each to chose one. The black man choose , v the heaviest, which was found to contain spades, hoes and other implements used in the performance of manual labor; the second found in his sack a fishing rod, gun and warlike weapons; the white man chose the sack which contained pen, ink and paper, and this, so the story goes, laid the foundation for his superiority over other races.?Kansas City Journal. ? ?7 The Judge Uses Forceful Language. Judge W. B. Simmons, of Fincastle, Va.. told the reDorter that L. & M. paint was used on his residence in 1882, and held its color well for 21 years; he furthermore said that 3 years ago he was induced to use another paint and is sorry he did, because the other paint didn't make good. The judge will now always use L. & M., because he knows if any defect exists in L. & M. paint the house will be repainted for nothing. The L. & M. zinc hardens the L. & M. white lead and makes L. & M. paint wear like iron for 10 to 15 years. Actual cost of L. & M. about $1.20 per gallon. Donations of L. & M. made to churches.

Jo^ph Bruso. good natured aud underpinned with a pair of rolling sea legs that seldom carry him into mischief, came ashore at New York from the Savannah line steamer, on which he is employed.

Stoinert flint she hart founrt Bruso in a bed in her flat and wanted him punished as much as the law allowed. Bruso kept pinching himself while she was telling the story to see if he was really awake or asleep. He was "orr outer hebe! I'm the cap op ran smpr awake, he discovered later. Mrs. Fan kimma nf 42R West Twentv-fourth street told the court how she had left her flat for a moment to go around the corner on an errand. "When I came back, your honor, 1 found the door of my flat open, and this sailor, whom I had never seen before, was seemingly happily asleep on my best bed. When I went in he open ed his eyes, yelled at me and asked why I didn't knock. ,4,Git outer here! I'm the cap oi this shipH he said. I almost fainted but I managed to run out and find a policeman. The fellow was snoring actually snoring, when I went in." Policeman Hecker, who arrested Bruso on the charge of disorderly con duct, told the court how the little wo man had come running up to him and begged him to come and arrest a mac in her house. To all of this Bruso listened witi surprise. '1 guess I must have stowed in the wrong berth, captain?I meai your honor," said the sailor. "I don'l remember nothin' about it or of evei seein' this lady before. I had a fev drinks, you see. But if she says iff so, why, how could I contradict a lady' I'm sorry, but I must have sailed Intx the wrong bunk. 'Sense me, lady." He was fined $5 and costs. He paic ' v* Li.

"Alligator Joe" Makes Women at Pal-.r. Beach Gasp. Warren Fnizier, better known as "Alligator Joe," treated society folk at Palm Beach recently to a new sporting sensation. He towed a crocodile weighing 200 pounds well out into the Atlantic ocean, had a wrestling match with it, mounted it bareback and brought it back to shore. The crowd, mostly women, gasped until it was over and then applauded smartly. The crocodile was about sixty to sev enty years old and perhaps twelve reel HE LANDED. STOMACH DOWN, ON THE CREATURE'S BACK. long. "He's a young one," said Frazier, and he spoke truly, for the patriarch of his tribe is declared to oe more man 400 years old. After towing it out Frazier released it, then made a quick jump and landed stomach down on the creature's back. Over and over they went, like boys wrestling. The tail of the animal lashing about could be seen, i and at times its forefeet were exposed as Frazier tilted it up. Gradually Frazier worked the reptile t to a steep bank. A rope was thrown ; to him. Keeping the crocodile under ; water, be tied the cord around Its long snout in two places. It was then dragged ashore, and its tail was tied to Its [ head so that it could be lifted into a . cart i The reptile toward the end appeared . to be completely fagged, but Frazier [ showed no exhaustion. FOOGHT 1,000 RATS. \ 7 ? _____ L Desperate Battle Between Men and Rodents In Granary. With their backs against the wall 1 and their clubs flying like flails Charles Wheeler and William West of Woodbury, Conn., fought for their lives with 1 a thousand big gray granary rats. 1 Wheeler and Wesa killed 200 rats in the brief but deadly combat, which 1 ended only when other men went to 1 the rescue. 1 A horde of greedy rats infested H.

' days they plugged various rat holes; > then by sprinkling grain temptingly they finally lured the rats Into a small I room where bran Is stored. While the 3 big drove ran here and there the men 1 plugged the rat holes in the little room and attacked the rats with clubs. But the rats, cornered, did not wait to be clubbed. No sooner had Wheeler and Wesa slammed the door behind t them than a great lean rat, squealing, jumped at Wheeler's face. Behind it t came the rest of the drove. They t writhed at the men's feet, swarmed L up their legs, bit savagely at their ^ shoes and sprang high in the air in an a effort to get at their unprotected hands 3 and faces. r The men wielded their clubs like mad and yelled for help, but the squealing animals only attacked them t the more furiously. One worked his 1 way Inside Wesa's trousers leg and tore 2 savagely at his ankle. Another sank t his teeth into Wheeler's hand.

The driver g lurched to the right and left and seemI. ed in Imminent danger of falling off. i- While the policeman was watching i* him, be tumbled to the street Kane ' had to call three other policemen to 3. help him land the driver in the city e hall station. Then he charged him d with being intoxicated while driving a n water wagon. The prisoner said he s was Thomas Stewart of 84 Vanderveer x avenue. He had in his clothes $23 in e cash and several religious medals. y n She Wanted to Wear a Low Cut Gown. 3 To be free of a disfiguring scar upon e her neck that induced her to forswear inw necked eowns and appear at re ceptions and balls in dresses with high necks, Miss Laura Stallo, granddaughs ter of Alexander McDonald, the Stande ard Oil magnate, has submitted to a d painful operation in Cincinnati.
