There was a young boy in New York who wrapped the goods in the store, and because he wrapped them -ao nicely the customers' attention was called to the artistic manner in which it was done. He was tinaliy called to a better position, and then into partnership, and became a great benefactor in the city of New York. Hecould give his millions afterwards because I he began to wrap up well the goods in the store. Though he was paid only two or three dollars a we^k above his board, he tied each package so carefully that he did it well, better than all the other boys. He was striving to do thoroughly, striving to do well. Hence he had the honor which he ought to have had, and had the inestimable satisfaction of knowing i ; that whatever he did, he did well. Encouraging. Over in the Salmon river meadows country, in Idaho, ranged a wild and wooly bunch of long-haired cow1 pinchers, whose knowledge of the world was confined mainly to trips - after cattle into surrounding counties says Lippincott's. Into this reckless but verdant community there came the smooth-tongued representative of a wild west show, who hired several riders at a high salary to do a hair raising act, the chief feature being that they should appear to be thrown from their horses and dragged by Hie foot. After they had practised in a corral awhile, one of them loosened himself, and rising from the dirt, dishevelled and dazed, inquired: "Say mister ain't this ruther danV:. gerous? We might git killed." "That's all right," chirped the show's reprentative cheerfully, "Your salary will go on just the same." gSL. Largest Kansas Tree. The largest known tree in Kansas was felled a couple of weeks ago on % the Ben Wilson ranch near Williamstown. It was a cottonwood and four and a half days were consumed by two men in cutting it down. Sixteen strong horses were required to draw each of the three sections, which were twelve feet long, to the railroad. It measured 18 feet 6 inches in diameter. The body was sound and when sawed up made 3,500 feet y of first-class lumber and about the same amount of second-class. The machinery of the factory was inadequate to handle such a monster and dynamite was finally used as a last resort, and it was torn in three pieces, when no trouble was experienced in working it up.?Kansas City X Journal. . . 4 / '7/ . . . " KANSAS IGNORED TILL/IAN. Little Attention to His Rantings in the Sunflower State. It cannot be charged against Kansas that it habitually hides its light under a bushel or that it is negligent in reporting current affairs in this branch of the national vineyard for the common information, so that the fact that Senator Tillman came to Kansas, delivered his lecture, which has created everywhere else a sensation approximating in some instances to a riot, before an audience at our State Agricultural College, and left the State without creating enough ripple to indicate to the average reader that he had crossed the Kansas threshold, will not be attributed to any lack of alertness in this State. That Kansas treated Till nr?on /lifforontlxr in 111CUI uiuvivuwy iu J.WVV) v * him at all?is not to the discredit, but to the credit of Kansas' good sense. 1 In other places when Tillman called upon his audience to stand up and vote on the question put to them, as to whether the white is superior to the negro race, the audiences have obediently stood up. At Manhattan this week, when the Tillman challenge was shot at the audience, nobody voted at all on either side. There was no riot, not even a flutter. Instead of occupying the place of honor in the first column of the first page of the papers the next morning, the report of Tillman's lecture filled a quarter of a column on an inside page, but it told all that any intelligent person need to know of the speech and antics of the South Carolina rabble rouser. Tillman started his speech,, complaining that the hall was overheated and criticizing the committee of arrangements. When he asked those who believed the white man superior to the colored, and then the contrary vote, to rise, nobody stood up, as we have stated, on either side. Later, when he asked for a vote on the question whether the white race should govern in tnis country two or three persons in the audience, out of courtesy or commiseration for the speaker, stood up. Nobody met Tillman at the train, which was provoking and unintentional, due to a misunderstanding. Mr. Tillman was in two wrecks on his way to Manhattan. The report on his lecture says that it is generally condemned as without sense or point, or suggested remedy for grievances described by the pitchfork orator. It short, if all his audiences were as little impressed by Tillman as that at Manhattan, his stock in trade as a platform orator, addicted to boorishness of manners and vulgarity of speech, would soon be reduced below par.?Kansas Weekly Capital. Cured by Stage Device. James Benham, a grocer, has cured his wife of nervousness and insomnia by a stage device. He saw in a medical journal that the patter of raindrops on the roof would cure sleeplessness. Getting a theater employe to help him, he rigged up a thunder and lighting maker on the tin roof of his house near his bedroom. When darkness came he sent his son out with the garden hose and urged his wife to go to bed, saying it looked like rain. Soon the rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning were followed by the patter of raindrops on the roof, and in a few minutes Mrs. Benham was asleep. Benham says the trick has worked a complete cure.?Cleveland dispatch to New York Times. Crops are improving somewhat, and the fanners and merchants are not so blue as they have been.

Sister Tug In Pursuit?Two Puffing Vessels Create Great Excitement, Dodging Ferryboats, Steamboats and Miscellaneous Craft. Dodging ferryboats, river steamers and other craft that dotted the East river, the tugboat Claremont, with every ounce of steam on that her boilers could stand, chased her sister boat, tne Florence, ior six miies uuwu iuc stream the other night. The Florence had been cut out and stolen from her berth at the foot of Quay street by Lars Larsen and Orlas Wolfsteen, two of her deck hands, and Captain Charles McNeill, at the wheel of the Claremont, was after them. It was one of the most exciting chases ever witnessed in New York waters. Both boats are the property of the estate of John McNeill, who "STOP, OB I*LIi POT A HOLE CLEAR THROUGH YOU!" died recently. They were tied op at the Quay street pier with fires banked, and Captain McNeill was lnNthe office, 29 Franklin street, Williamsburg, when one of his men rushed in. "They're stealing the Florence!" he gasped. "Larsen and Wolfsteen have cut her out, and they're running away with her!" The captain did not wait for explanations nor to appeal to the police. He ran all the way to the pier, where he found his engineer and crew about to leave for the night A hundred yards out could be seen the Florence with smoke pouring from her funnel as she steamed down the river. "Put every ounce on her! Cast off the lines! Get a move on you or they will get away with her!" shouted the captain as he made for the pilot house. The men sprang to their places. The lines were free in quick time. The gauge still showed 100 pounds, the straining firemen raked the fires and Dlied the coal, and the boat swung out into the stream and pointed after the fleeing Florence. Wolfsteen, In the pilot house of the fugitive, heard a great baritone blast that echoed far over the river. He knew that sound of the Claremont's whistle and that she was in chase even before he looked astern and saw his foe coming with a speed that was even then almost equal to that of the fleeing tug. Both boats had been built on the same model. They are supposed to be of equal power, but on the Florence there was only Larsen to fire and watch the engines at the same time. It was double work. He was not used to it On the Claremont the grizzled engineer husbanded his steam pressure and worked it up to the top notch. Then the flying tug began to put on speed, and slowly, very slowly, she started to overhaul the other boat: Tuning out of the pilot house was Captain McNeill. There was "blood in his eye,*' as the deck hand put it as he watched the boat ahead. Near to his hand was a seven chambered navy revolver of long range. He looked at it grimly as he yanked the whistle cord in short warning blasts to river craft to keep clear. It was a time when the river was filled with boats of all types. Half a dozen times the Claremont had to alter her course to avoid a collision, and the captain cursed softly to himself when he noted the delay. No one protested at his language. "It wouldn't have been safe," the deck hand said afterward, "and, be, sides, It eased the old man. So what ( was the use?" There was one comfort In the delays to avoid collisions. The other boat was subject to the same number of them, and the chances of overhauling her were better with every passing minute. Hardly one of those who saw the chase from the decks of ferryboats or passing sound steamers realized what it meant They believed It was simply a good natured race, and many were the bits of sarcastic advice flung at Captain McNeill as to "stern chasers." , His only reply was to signal for yet more steam. j The space between the two boats had j lessened long before they reached the i - v r ' . \ Brooklyn bridge. When the Florence passed under the old bridge the Claremont was not 500 feet astern, and tkb' distance narrowed as both felt the full effects of the ebb tide. The mate had the wheel now. and the captain, with the navy revolver resting on the pilot house window ledge, watched the other boat. Dodg ing the great ferryboats, the chase kept on until the Florence entered, the But termilk channel. The Claremont came abreast not twenty feet of her starboard beam. The captain leaned out of the window and pointed the revolver at WolfBteen at the wheel of the Florence. "Signal to stop your engines 01* I'll put a hole clear through you," be shouted^ Wolfween took one look at the determined man behind the gun, and he fairly yelled with terror as he rang to stop. The Florence came to a nait just off the gap in the Atlantic basin, and the Claremont ran alongside. Captain McNeill led the boarders, who were armed with whatever they could pick up. They met with no resistance. "Tie them hand and toot," said Captain McNeill, and it was done. Then the two boats returned to the Quay street pier, where the prisoners were handed over to a policeman. 4 DRUGGED THE BURGLARS. But ths Woman Herself Fell Asleep and Thieves Woke Up. Mrs. Mary Sharp thought she would be a clever sleuth when she returned to her home, 3368 Scranton road, S. W., Cleveland, O., on a recent evening and found two burglars fast asleep on her bed. To insure their capture she procured a bottle of chloroform, put them deeper into slumberland and then started for the telephone to summon the police. She became faint, however, and dropped upon a bed in an adjoining room, thinking the dizzy spell would ' pass off in a few minutes. Instead she fell fast asleep herself and when she awoke the next morning learned to her chagrin that the burglars had vanished with her vaiuaoies ana mucn ouier booty. In their flight one of them dropped his pipe, and with It as evidence Policeman Unterznber arrested Charles Prank and Leon Alger. They were bound over to the grand Jury. ' TRAIN RACES WITH BARN. Startling Speed Contest on the Chesapeake and Ohio. Engineer Scannon of a Chesapeake and Ohio freight train was the hero recently of a thrilling race between a train and a barn, with several lives at stake. Scannon's train was passing Tebbs Station, near Lexington, Ky., at a good rate when the high wind which was blowing lifted a big tobacco barn 8CAXN0N THE BABS?

Tbe heavy train was on the down grade and soon attained great momentum. but just as it looked as though the peril would be outrun the big barn crashed Into the caboose, smashing It The impact also shattered the barn, which collapsed on the track. Trainmen on the caboose saw their pexll in time to escape by jumping. Head Ached Till It Burst. Mrs. Bettle Davis, an aged lady, who ' lives at Coral Hill, Ky., recently ha? her head burst from headache. The case is a most peculiar one and is pnzzling the doctors. For two days Mrs. Davis suffered tortures. The usual simple remedies failed to give relief.
