US FIRST SIGHT OF BANDS
>cwa Proved to Be Very Human
When Cripple Long Blind Was
Wheeled Up.
AH his life he had been lame; near
y a.l his life he had been blind. But
l!' ’-s he could hear, and the thing
le .iked best to hear was martial
nusic by the band. He heard it sel
Ici:.. The Home for Incurables was
m a side street, out of the way of
)ar;ls. The operation that restored
lis sight was followed shortly by &
}ig parade.
"At last," said he, “I shall see th»
'ellows that play the band."
The line of march was twenty
blocks away, but to a strong-armed
orderly who was used to wheeling a
reclining chair twenty blocks was
lothlng. The policeman on the edge
)f the crow was far more formidable.
“You can’t take that boy in there,”
le said. "They’d crush the life out
mt of him. We can’t do anything
with a crowd like this on parade days,
rhey’re a mob.”
“But they’re very human,” said the
orderly. Then he told the story of
:he newly opened eyes
“Oh, well," said the policeman.
He stepped ' nek. Others also step
ped back, police.nen and members of
-1m “mob." Righ;. up the curb they
went, the boy and the orderly. A few
who had held their places since sun
up grumbled a little, but the eager
look of the boy who had never seen a
uniform conquered and they made
way. Then the bands came, dozens
af them, and every bandsman seemed
to play his best for the boy in the
shalr. It was splendid; so splendid
that the boy and the orderly and the |
mob laughed and cried together. I
rruly, the mob was very human.
IUST ESCAPED WORSE FATE
Fine of Man Who Attempted 8ulcldt
Would Have Been Larger Had
He Succeeded.
One evening, several years ago, In s
fold mining camp In the Transvaal, a
nan, partially Intoxicated and sup
posed to be actuated by Jealousy, at
tempted suicide. He first took mor
phla, but this not proving strong!
enough he tried to hang himself, but
was prevented, and-handed over to the
sheriff to be kept In safe custody for
the night, and to be tried before the
acting gold commissioner, a shrewd
and solemn Scot, the next morning.
There being no law to prevent him
from committing suicide If he thought
at, but it being considered desirable to
punish him In some way, It was decid
ed to bring a charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct against him.
To this the prisoner pleaded guilty,
whereupon the acting gold commis
sioner, without the ghost of a smile,
delivered the following extraordinary
Judgment: i
“I shall fine ye twa punds for your!
drunkenness; but I’ll Just gie ye to un- j
flerstand that I ken vera weel what ye
attempted to dae, aad had ye succeed
ed in your attempt, your poonlahment
would have bln vena much more se
vere than it la!”

8peed of Animals.
According to naturalists, no animal
la known to have exceeded the speed
by the famous racehorse
Bysonby. Instantaneous photographs
show the fall length of one complete
stride ea about twenty-etx feet. In the
stride of the fasten* mean the hind
(sartors aad Umbo are raised oonaide
evably higher than the ahonldera, and
fram this relatively great height
brought downward aad forward, wide
ly separated from mcb otner, u a
■portsman say*, "to avoid striking the
tore legs." The hare which Is hunted
with fast bounds has not In reality
the speed of the dog. The dog. on
t)ie other hand, does not attain the
■peed of the horse. The giraffe la said
to run at the rate of fifteen meters
(yards) per second under the most
favorable conditions. The elephant,
going at the rate of two yards a seo
ond. carries a weight approximating
that carried by six horses.—Harper's
Weekly.
To Catch Foxes.
If you are particularly anxious to dc
• little surreptitious fox catching try
the follbwing. It is the sage of Lap
ton who speaks. In his "Thousand
Notable Things:" "Anoint the soles
ot your shoes with a piece of fat
■wine’s flesh am broad as your hand,
B0wly toasted or a little broiled at
the fire, when you go out of the wood
homeward. And In every of your
steps cast a piece of the liver of a
■wine roasted and dipped Hi honey,
and draw after your back the dead
carcass of a cat" Tour fox cannot
resist all this, but “be sure to have
a man nigh thee with bow and shafts
to shoot at him, or by some other
Beans to hit him." Qood fun this for
a country house party at loose ends.
/ Queensland’s Rifle Fleh.
Thera Is said to exist In the water*
of Northern Queensland a fish men
■uring about ten Inches In length and
averaging a pound and half In weight,
which possesses the remarkable pow
er of shooting Its prey.
The "rifle Ash.” as it Is called, is
alleged to swim leisurely about the
stream a few inches below the ^sur
face, on the lookout for flies and
other insects that settle on the float
ing leaves and twigs or on the surface
of the water plants.
When the "rifle fish’’ gets close
enough for the purpose, it discharges
at its victim a tiny jet or ball of wa
ter, which, if shot straight, knock the
prey into the stream, where it is In
stantly gathered In hy the sbeotar.

.ould be as careful of their
nervoufcv nergy as of their money,
■ays an English writer. Yet we all
waste It. At. the telephone people talk
twice as loudly and energetically aa la
necessary. That Is to say, they nae
up twice as much nerve energy aa
i -bey need. Three-fourths of those
who have to catch trains every morn
ing spend as much nervous fo.ce In
one day as should last a week.
Then, In the streets, watch how peo
ple jostle and push, and what a lot
of nerve force they spend at danger
ous crossings. Why not walk slowly
when there Is obstruction, and wait for
the quiet, moment, which always
comes, at the crossing? Everywhere
people hurry without need, getting In
to a state of nervous tension when
leaving theaters, boarding omnibuses,
going to lunch, and especially when
leaving for a holldav.
Better Keep the Boy.
At nightfall tho Junior partner's •»

‘‘Better think It over,” the senior
partner advised.
"Why waste tlm© In thinking," the
Junior retorted, "when he's got to go?
tlere I am, lying awake every night
for a week planning an effective wl®.

laughing stock the first day by the

"Well," st d the elder Jeweler,

"Tea, but what of ItT That dual
