HIS EXPERIENCE
By PETER HICKUM.
I don't propose to make myself extra
ridiculous by calling myself a
hero. My solitary, wifeless existence
in this secluded grove must not be
ascribed to poverty or misanthropy,
as I own several nice farms and would
graciously permit mny.middle aged lady
to superintend the said real estate and
my piano; but my solitary life is due
to my two besetting sins?having
,loved too many girls, and having been
,too good.
i T am mvuolf fAA far sHvflnpoH In
life to gain benefit from my gad experience,
but It might be of value to
those who are rot too old to learn.
; My childhood 9hal! be skipped, with
,the laconic allusion that I wasn't the ,
worst boy In my native village on the
Rhine.
: - When asked . what 1 intended to
make of myself, I always answered
byloolriog at the nearest girl handy.
My father, who was a physician of |
considerable fame, had a burning de
sire to have me, his son Peter, be- J
come a doctor of medicine and surgery.
He sent me at the early age of
seventeen to a celebrated medical col- j
lege, accompanied by his warmest
well-wishes and a bundle of rules ia
regard to my behavior while away
from home. My arrival at the s.eat of
learning caused some head-shaking '
amoDg the skull-capped professors and
considerable giggling among the students.
To remove my bashfulness 1
was ordered to occupy a dark corner 1
of the school-room?all to myself? '
where I was told to study the anatomy
of a grinning monkey, and to tell 1
what I knew about the bones when
the teacher came around.
But, alas! I was "disturbed in my '
anatomical studies by a rattling noiss '
in the back yard. Casting my eyes
from my subject into the back yard,
I espied a fair maiden pumping cistern
water with all her might. She '
looked up and I again looked down,
until the fair punrper had filled the '
bucket and pumped my heart clear
into the back yard.
I forgot to peruse any more the
rrigntrui SKeieton, dui my eyes constantly
explored the contents of that
fatal back yard.
The fair pumper, my first love, was
seen by me no more. I pined and became
haggard-looking; my teachers
felt my pulse and shipped me home
without delay.
I recovered from the fever in about
two months, and went to a circus. I
became greatly interested in the waxfigures
of Cain, who killed Abel, and
ia the eleven good apostles.
But the curtain rose, when, lo and
behold! there stood a lassie iwith
shining golden hair. I loved her without
the lea6t preliminaries, and
couldn't sleep, for many nights on account
of the charming circus-girl.
Then I emigrated to this country,
where I have been entirely too good,
and loved fair damsels by the score.
Ha! didn't I think that by carrying
my whole early apple crop to those
three Sand Hill ladles the oldest
would reciprocate my ardent afTection?
But she snubbed me as soon as the
early apples ceased coming.
And that preacher's daughter, whom
I first saw and loved at the Oak Hill (
camp-meeting. She came near spitting *
in my face.
The Dipperman girl held out seduc- *
tive Inducements until, when I popped <
the question, she crawled away with
my bleeding heart, telling me that she
couldn't leave her parents for such a <
forlorn-looking wretch as I was.
The Fulton countv girl smiled as )
long as I let her father have his own 1
way with my corn and hogs, but talked
bad to me as soon as I vetoed his <
thievish proceedings. *
T montmn tho fnilf 1

school-marms I once dearly but vainly I 1
adored, nor will I tell the particulars t '*
about my short marriage with an ex- 1
war-widow, who cost me $7 for the 1
knot-tying and $700 for loosening it. 1
I am now nearly seventy years of 1
age, lead a frugal life, supply several i
destitute widows with fuel, and live '<
a hermit life in this patch of timber 1
which some sarcastic local newspa- 5
per writer christened Misery- Grove, 1
because, as he fiendishly explained, s
"Old Peter is a miser- in misery." [ 1
I will persist that I would be a* <
happy as the majority if I were equai-! <
ly mean. But the way 1t stands I am I 1
without a peer in this section, by rea- j
son of having loved too many girls, , I
and having practiced that other be- \ i
setting sin, not having been good 1
enough to myself, but too good to I
others. ]

When Iceland Went Dry. ]
The first European parliament to en. *
force teetotalism was that of Iceland,
I where a law was passed two years ago
j prohibiting the importation or sale of 1
I intoxicating liquors. One effect of this 1
measure was io deprive the foreign '
consuls at Reykjavik of their drink, so
they protested to the governor, pointing
out that such a deprivation constl* (
tuted an infringement of the rights of 1
diplomacy. Permission was thereupon (
granted the consuls to import beer,
wine and spirits, provided these fluids 1
are consumed only on the premises to 1
which they are consigned. Moreover, J
the total amount imi>orted by each '
consul must not exceed 800 liters in
a year, and the quantity required must
be imported in one consignment. Only
i the representative* of France and; l
Norway benefit by this concession. ! 1
The other consuls are unpaid, and. be-1 I
ing natives of Iceland, were expressly 1
i excluded from its 1 encfits. {

Antwerp's Plans for improvements It
Is Hoped May 3e Carried
Out in the Future.
The "dock of concentration" at
Antwerp was, by the action of the
oity authorities just prior to the
declaration of war. to have been a
reality in 1010. The plan, conceived ,
ten years ago, is to concentrate at one
great dock all the grain barges which
serve as warehouses, and the floating
elevators which furnish the business
to Antwerp's 300 grain houses.
These elevators, with eight new ones
voted last year, are 12 in number and
are owned by the municipality. They
are pneumatic with a lift of 100 feefc
and one cares for a cargo of 5,000
tons in about three days which formerly
detained a vessel there for 14
days when hand labor was employed.
While hostilities may perhaps set the
work back another decade, hope may
be derived by Antwerp and 6ther
stricken cities by remembering how

recent excavations. The animal in
life was more than one-third larger '
than the largest grizzly bear of the
present day, and the specimen when
mounted will rank with the mounted
skeletons of the imperial elephant ,
and the ancient human discovered
months ago.
According to Daggett the cave

HOW SMITH GOT BACK.
Senator Charles T. Townsend of
Michigan smiled when reference was
made to somnambulism. He said he
was reminded of a storv along that
line. . t
A man named Jones was talking
to his friend Brown one night, when
the latter casually mentioned Smith,
a mutual acquaintance.
"Makes me think of an experience
Smith had a few weeks ago," laughed
Jones. "Ho dreamed that he was an
Indian, and getting out of bed. he
wrapped a blanket around himself
and started to walk through the
woods. Woke up about three hours
later and found himself ten miles
from home and no car fare in sight.**
"You don't, mean it?" was the
amazed rejoinder of Brown. "How
in the world did he get back ?"
