HAD ESCAPED PRISON "Went Straight" and Is Back In Cell Because He Played Good Fellow to Ed Hogan, Down and Out. New York.-Why is it that when a man's broke and knows he's broke, and the world knows he's broke-without ia dime or ia sou-that he will take as lively an Interest in going through his empty pockets, "Just to see," as a child will in exploring a Christmas stock ing? Why is it? Before some sharp trips us up with "It's human nature," let us consider Ed Lee and his friend, Ed Iogan, who, about 5 p. nt. the other day, rounded up at a bench under a tree in Battery park. "You say you found a dollar bill I" exclaimed Ilogan, "I'll look," said Lee, and methodical ly began turning wrong side out his trousers pockets. "No, Ed," he said at length, regret fully, "there ain't a cent. It looks as if our party's at an end. What would you suggest?" Hogan Springs a Surprise. "Let's take a little walk," said Ho gan. "Might as well," agreed Lee-"walk and look for work. But there ain't a soul that can say I haven't shown you a time and shown you the town as long as the dough held out. Eli, Ed? There's nothing too good for a pal from Indiana." Lee's mention of his hospitality seemed to embarrass Hogan, lie did not reply. The two proceeded across the park, Hogan steering the way in the general direction of i park police man near the custom house. "Officer," said Ilogan, suddenly, "ar rest this man. lie's an escaped con vict." The polcleman seized Lee, who was too astounded to resist. "What have you to say about this?" the patrolman demanded. Hogan Shows His Gratitude. "All I have to say." replied Lee, "Is "'hat's gratitude.''' Lee was speaking "Offcer AretTi Mn esa III' I I Escaped ConvIct, to Hogan and niot the polieeman, Turn ing to the oflicer, lie said: "It's true, lock mue up."

There aro a lot of people in this world who seem to take a fllendish de light in being miserable and in mak ing others feel that way, too, remarks the Brockton (Mass.) Times. Som men, and some women, too, surround themselves with an atmos phere of gloom that eternal sunshine couldn't dispel and through this dis torting medium molehills grow to mountains and there are tears and groans where there should be smiles. They wake up in the morning with a faec that looks like a sodden dough nut, and perhaps the sun is bright and the birds are singing. They will grum ble and say, "0, well, this won't last; we'll have bad weather yet before night." And should the sky grow clouded and a refreshing rain moisten the thirsty earth they shout in glee, "I told you so." When they sit down to breakfast they almost sour the cream they put In the coffee, and the most tempting breakfast does them about as much good as a carpet tack sandwich would. They grow dyspeptic, morose, pessi mistic, cynical, hypochondriacal and get to be downright nuisances. If you ever get to feeling blue about things stop and think what it will mean if you keep it up and then pin your wird so hard on your daily task that there isn't room for another thing in your head. That's the way to keep the haunting spirit of pessimism and despondency out of your heart. And remember the world has no time to listen to your troubles, for ev ery one has troubles of his own, and the chances are a good many have a great deal heavier burden to bear than you have. ALL AT "'ENERAL MUSTER" Everybody Was More or Less inter ested In the Militia Some De cades Ago. In considering the subject of pre paredness it might be wise to look up the old militia system that pre vailed sixty or seventy years ago, when states were divided into dis tricts, each one having a company to which all men of soldier age were re quired to belong, and give a few days each year to military drill, the Colum bus Journal observes. Every year there would be a "gener al muster," at which the various com panies would gather, and under the command of a plumed and bespangled officer would perform the various evo lutions and go through the manual of arms that would strike with awe the surrounding crowd of women and chil dren, gathered to witness the heroic displays of fathers and brothers. These general musters were great events in the times of our grandfath ers. They we'e social as well as mill tary, and often adorned with feasts of warlike provender. In one of his speeches Tom Corwin tells of a gen eral muster in which tho brave mill tianmen, with bayonet and sword, charged on a pile of watermelons and cut the red hearts out of tho enemy, Shakespearean Humor. McKean I;uehanan, a ('alifornia trageianm in thle obile daiiiys. was noted for' tho roa ring style in which he leed~ Shakespeareani charactersi, also for' his fondneses for' lit igat ion, and f"o'r never pay inag h is hawyers. J. G]or doni Eastmian wasi poit el as to this last iteculiar'ity of the '"great Shako speareani delineator,'' as he styled him self, and whern Bu~chanan, tilled with wrath at an adverse criticism in a city paper, determined to sue the editor, burst into the lawyer's oflice and said' "Sir, I wish to retain you," the man of the law replied: "Awfully sorry, Mr. Buchanan, but I am retained on the other side.," Buchanan replied: "The other side; what other s1(10? Who has retained you 'against me?'' The attorney replied, "Shakespeare's ghost," and the interview closed T. F. Recognize the Death Song. Walruses and seals and all true mammals that have lungs and live in the water have a bark that sounds strange enough as it comes up from hidden depths. Every lookout from the masthead notices that, when one whale is struck, the .whole school is stampedled at the very Impact of the harpoon. They have heard the death song. 'rho sound that the bowhead makes is like the long-drawn-out "hoe-hoo hoo-oo-o" of the hoot-owl. A whaler says that the cry begins on F, and may rise to A, B or even C before slip ping back to F again. He avers that with the humpback the tone is much fluer, and sounds across the water like the note from the D string of a violin, Need of Exercise,' Exercise in some form is absolutely necessary for health. We are so con structed by nature that the dligestive tract and alimentary tract demands bodily activity in order to perform its proper functions. Without it troubles begin to applear-. Constipation becomes a chronic disease, the circulation be comes poor, the liver and kidneys do not work properly and a thousand and one little troubles begin to make them selves felt. You may begin to grow corpulent because the body is unable to eliminate the surplus sugar and starch products. Or you may grow too thin beause the assimilativo organs are unable to work properly from lack of proper exercise. 1 t Leaves a Lasting Remembrance of the GIVER Jewelry is not one of those gifts which wilts in a day and is forgotten. :-: IT IS Long remembered-a gift in which the sweet sentiment is .lasting and cherished by the recipient.
