I was for tossin’ it out of the window again, but Murphy wouldn't stand for it. Mercy, no! “So I stuck the rabbit's left hind leg up in my order clip. For the rematu- der of our westward trip I felt just about the same as that feller Damo- cles, who sat in at the feed with the business end of a sword dangling over bis think emporium. A feller would feel a little more secure in that place if he-knew the sword was fastened up with a Hopper safety clutch. “We got to the other end of our run without encounterin’ anything bigger’n a woodchuck, When it came time for us to bring our train back in the even- in’ there were black ’n’ ominous clouds gatherin’ in the sky which fore told of the first thunder 'n’ lightain’ storm of the season. “When we started on the return trip, about 8 o'clock, the storm broke in all its intensity. I have seen some right husky thunder 'n’ lightnin’ dis- turbances, but this one took the blue ribbon. “The rain came down in sheets, 'n" you couldn’t get fifteen feet ahead of the pilot except when the linghtnin’ finshed through the sky. Then it would be as light as day for an in- stat, but after the flash died away it got so black as to make the ace of spades look like a snowflake. “As we came aroun’ by the old 4tone crusher sidin’ in Cooper's moun- tain a flash of lightnin’ which made the ones precedin’ it look like the Splutterin’ of a parlor match lit up the sky for fully a minute 'n’ I was paraiyzed by the sight the sudden il- lumination revealed to me. Right in the east-bound track, hardly 500 yards ahead of us, just beyond the point of thé crusher sidin’, was a big rock weighin’ about fixe tons, which evi dently had been washed down by the storm. The rabbit's foot would cer- ainly have to do some tall rootin’ to lu-itsu the impeilin’ catastrophe. “T slammed or the air brake so hard that some of the car wheels were ground flattir’n a cornet out of tune, But I knew it wouldn’t have such effect in slackin’ the speed of tke train before we struck the rock “Suddenly there was another stuh- nin’ flash of lightnin’ ‘n’ then a streak of blue fire scemed to run up the rails. The engine seemed almost to vault from ?*e track ’n' in a second I could tell from tae lurchin’ that we had taken the stone-crusber sidin’, “We came to a stup after goin’ THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. about 500 yards up the sidin’.

RIGHTS OF THE SLEEPER. Cleveland Newspaper in Defense of a Bad Practice. pac rractice. A Daniel-come-to-judgment in Mem- phis, Tenn., recently fined a church member $20 for snoring in church. He called it a breach of the peace and treated it accordingly. And now there {1s every evidence of profounit dismay among the brethren. They are for the most part inclined to assert that sleeping in church is only a breach of etiquette at the worst. As for snoring, that’s something over which the offender has no control. He s™res unconsciously and involuntarily. It Js the result of a peculiar construc tion of his piping outfit, a construction that was carried to completion with- out his supervision, and certainly without his consent. From this point of view the judge was clearly wrorg in inflicting punishment upon the in- nocent victim of an unfortunate flaw {n construction. _ At the same time the members do not show any overwhelming desire to carry the case to a higher court. They are too much stunned, as it were, to do anything—except pay the fine. But the time may be coming in Memphis, or elsewhere, when the right of a man to sleep where he pleases, and to gar- nish that sleep by trombon or other nasal form of accompaniment, wil! be fully tested and defined.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Solld silver was handled by the road- sters and outcasts as if it were nothing more than ordinary tinplate and the story of the night dinner rivals that of the Millionaire club. The scene of the midnight feast was in a grove near Perryville. A freight car had been broken open and séme of Tiffany's finest art gems in solid silver, consigned by the New York house tec parties in Washington, were stolen and carried to the grove. Foraging parties were sent out by the nomads and soon silver chafing dishes were used for frying chicken and gold-lined goblets were utilized for quaffing the foaming beer. In the height of the frolic police and detectives swooped down on the mer- rymakers and made one or two ar- rests, but the majority of the “Weary Willies” made their escape. The rall- road authorities have been keeping the real facts quiet. Only American Life Guard.

Near by, beneath the plaza of another house, a nomeless cat reared a quartet of kittens. The people in the neighborhood fed the cat and her furry little ones but they declined all advances and remained wild as young lynxes. The old cat speedily taught her family to become expert rat catchers. One of the kittens paid especial attention to the ash house near at hand, in the flooring of which the rats had gnawed large holes and were living happily. One by one that kitten depleted the family of rodents until they had become entirely wiped out. Then the juvenile cat enlarged the passage they had made beneath the ash house until it was ample to accommodate her own proportions. She gathered together the nests they had used until she had a large and comfortable bed, and all through the present winter she has made her home in this place, appropriating the larder of the rats to her own uses. She is as wild as ever and those visiting the ash house rarely see more than the tip of her nose or an eye as she occasionally comes to the mouth of the great rat hole.—Boston Globe Curious Chinese Prejudice. In the course of business certain London banks have occasion to send out large sums of gold coin to China. No sovereigns, however, will be accepted which have the familiar St. George and the Dragon on the reverse side. The Dragon plays a leading part in religious matters in China, and its figure on the coin is abhorrent to the Celestial mind. The London consignees have, therefore, to pick out the older coins, having a shield on the reverse side, for transmission to the East, and these are now consequently becoming very scarce, only about five per thousand remaining in general circulation in England. Lighted Witches to Jail. There is in the possession of Walter L. Harris of Salem a unique lamp, shaped like a bowl and with a curving handle. This is said to have been used during the olden times, the days of the witchcraft delusion, to light into jail some of the witches. It is of iron and must have been filled with oil with a wick floating on the surface. One gazes on this black lamp and wishes it could tell its story of the past. Salem has many spots which are pointed out to strangers in connection with the witchcraft delusion. There is the supposed witch house, where it is said that preliminary examinations took place. Then, in the courthouse, are shown the pins which, according to allegations, were stuck into victims. The old jail, now reconstructed, is the home of Hon. Abner C. Goodale. Church-Going Dog. "Gip" Williams, a church-going dog, died in Nontville, a Berkshire village, and his funeral was held, says a Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New York World. Many children followed the dog to its burial place. Gip, who was owned by a family named Williams, for years had attended prayer meetings and all the entertainments in the village church After the family had gone to prayer meeting recently Charles Richardson who lives with the Williamses, said to the dog. "Gip, you can't go to church to-night." The dog walked into the next room and went through the window, sash and all. Arriving at the church, Gip pushed the swinging door open and took his accustomed seat with the congregation. Dog Announces Crossings. A blind man and a spaniel dog leading him with the aid of chain furnished a curious sight on Chestnut street the other day. Pedestrians looked on in amazement and many followed the blind man and his friend to see if anything curious would happen when they reached a street crossing. Strange enough, the dog barked when the curbstone was reached and in that way informed the blind man that he should be careful and step down.—Philadelphia Press.

Bribing employes who act as buyers for mercantile houses or who as salesmen attend to customers in retail shops, especially in the great department stores, has grown in Germany for some years and has caused many complaints in business circles. It has become so serious that the chambers of commerce and other mercantile bodies have considered it necessary to discuss measures for relief. Perplexes Custom Officers.

BOER REPUBLIC MUCH LIKE OUR OWN AT START. The News That the British Gunboats Had Bombarded Boston Called Forth the Same Kind of Supplication That Kruger Has Done. "President Kruger, in the course of an interview today regarding the crisis said he regarded the Boer position best defined by the eighty-third Psalm." This announcement from South Africa reminds us that this is not the first time that statesmen have found comfort in the Book of Psalms. The first continental congress met at Philadelphia in September, 1774. It was proposed that the proceedings should be opened with prayer. Mr. Joy of New York and Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina objected on the ground that the delegates were not sufficiently united in their religious sentiments, some being Episcopalians, some being Anabaptists, others Presbyterians, and still others Congregationalists. A false report had just reached Philadelphia that Boston had been bombarded by the British. What followed is thus narrated in a letter written by John Adams to his wife under date of September 16, 1774: "Mr. Samuel Adams arose and said he was no bigot and could hear a prayer from a gentleman of piety and virtue who was at the same time a friend to his country. He was a stranger in Philadelphia, but he had heard that Mr. Duche (Dushay they pronounce it) deserved that character, and therefore he moved that Mr. Duche, an Episcopal clergyman, might be desired to read prayers to the congress tomorrow morning. The motion was seconded and passed in the affirmative. Mr. Randolph, our president, waited on Mr. Duche, and received for answer that if his health permitted he certainly would. Accordingly next morning he appeared with his clerk and in his pontificals, and read several prayers in the established form, and then read the collect for the seventh day of September, which was the thirty-fifth Psalm. You must remember that this was the next morning after we heard the horrible rumor of the cannonade of Boston. I never saw a greater effect upon an audience. It seemed as if heaven had ordained that Psalm to be read on that morning." There is a singular likeness between some of the verses which thus impressed the continental congress of 1774 and portions of the eighty-third Psalm, which Oom Paul finds so expressive of his own feelings in this year, 1899. In the eighty-third Psalm, to which the Boer president appeals, we find these words: "Keep not thou silence, O God; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. "For lo, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. "O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. "As the fire burneth a wood, and as a flame setteth the mountain on fire. "So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. "Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame and perish." While in the thirty-fifth Psalm which thrilled the continental congress of 1774 we read: "Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. "Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. "Let them be as chaff before the wind; and let the angel of the Lord chase them. "Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt." Thus the same sentiment expressed in different portions of Holy Writ has afforded solace to the troubled statesmen of America and of Africa in the latter days of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Old Fort to New Uses. ```markdown ``` Whether it was the spirit of loyalty or the desire for novelty which caused a resident of Washington boulevard, not far from Homan, or thereabouts, to build a small barn, or outhouse, for the storing of coal, after the model of the old Fort Dearborn is not plain, but nevertheless the uneer structure stands on the back of the lot, weather-talked and beaten, a bit of old Chicago in the row.—Chicago Record-Herald. TRAITS OF GRAY SQUIRREL8. Migrate in Armies, Losing Thousands on the Way. Early writers and of wonderful migration of American gray squirrels, which must have arisen from the rapid increase and consequent overcrowding of a locality. Thousands of this species would start off in a regular army, all moving in the same direction and with considerable rapidity, allowing nothing to stop their onward march. Although these little animals have an extreme aversion to water and do not excel as swimmers, yet, whenever a watercourse, no matter what width, barred their progress, they would not hesitate for an instant, but plunge in and struggle desperately for the opposite shore, seizing upon anything in the way of floating sticks or chips to assist them in the passage. Unless the river was very narrow by far the smaller percentage of the band reached the farther shore, the rest becoming exhausted and drowning. These armies never seemed to reach any destination, but gradually their numbers would decrease by death from drowning and other hardships, until the band faded entirely away. Gray squirrels, generally four in a nest, are born in March or early in April. They never venture forth from the nest during the first month and are attended alone by the mother. She takes this task upon herself from choice and does not allow another squirrel, even her own mate, to approach the nest. Of Some Use Yet. "The automobile seems to be taking your place entirely," remarked the ox. "They haven't any use for you now." "Oh, yes," replied the horse. bitterly. "I believe they're considerate enough to use our hides for the leather finishings." Charms of the Riviera. It has been pointed out that the temperature on the Riviera is a very few degrees above that of the south of England, but the charm lies in the almost constant succession of days of sunshine.

AGCOUNTED FOR THE DOLLAR. Beggar's Windfall Due to Somewhat Remarkable Circumstance. Representative Branch of Morgan county, the "military man" of the house, has had some unusual experiences. The fact that he is a chairman of the committee on military affairs very often causes his colleagues to ask him for stories. "It was while attending a military school a good many years ago that I formed the habit of taking long walks before breakfast," said Branch to a group of friends. "One morning I happened to be strolling through the town near which the school was located, when I was 'touched' by an old fellow, whose tale of hard luck would have melted a stone. "But, my good fellow,' I said, 'I haven't a cent with me this morning. I spent my last penny last night, and my check from home won't reach me until to-morrow.' "The old man wasn't satisfied. "'Look through your pockets,' he begged, 'maybe you'll find something.' "'Well, if I've got any money in these clothes you can have every cent of it,' I said to him, and I began turning my pockets inside out just to show him that I was 'strapped.' "Well, would you believe it, a silver dollar dropped out of one of my pockets and rolled on the sidewalk. Delighted, the old man quickly grabbed it up and said, 'Thanks.' "He was much bigger than I and I said, 'Certainly; I am glad I can help you, but, really I didn't know it was there.' "All the way back to school I wondered how that dollar came to be in my trousers." "And did you ever find out?" asked another legislator. "Oh, yes; when I got back to my room my roommate told me that I was wearing his pants."—Indianapolis Star. PASSING OF THE SILK HAT. Headgear Not Fashionable as It Was Years Ago. "The silk hat," said the manager of a fashionable hat store, "has about run its course for day wear. Only elderly men, and comparatively few of them, wear it in the daytime. "Fifteen years ago we often sold more silk hats in a day than we now sell in two weeks. Young men wore them then both day and evenings. You could see processions of silk hats on Broadway and all the downtown streets. "But the silk hat will return. Its passing is merely a whim of fashion. It is the most dressy hat a man can wear and also the most economical. A good silk hat will stand more wear and tear than three derbys or fedoras. It can be ironed to look like new, no matter what has happened to it. "Most of our customers are well-to-do, but lots of them in the old days wore silk hats for economy's sake. A few do yet, for that matter, but they are men past middle life."—New York Sun. Not to Be Learned. Mme. Lili Lehmann, at the Savoy hotel in New York, was visited by a magazine representative who wanted one of the ever-interesting articles on "How to Learn to Sing." She gave the interviewer a long and interesting talk in her pretty, broken German--after earnestly attempting to persuade her that an article on her favorite THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. anti-vivisection cause would be far more to the point. The interviewer wrote the article and took it once more to Mme. Lehmann, who carefully examined it and suggested some corrections. A second time the manuscript was returned to her, so that it might have not the slightest error. Next day, upon inquiry, it was found that Mme. Lehmann had left the copy in the hotel office. It bore several careful additions and corrections, and a note was inclosed. The note said: "The whole article is nonsense. No one can learn to sing."—Saturday Evening Post. Luxuries in Alaska. A side light upon the mode of living in Alaska is given by stating the fact that in Seattle recently 7,500 cases of canned cream, fifteen freight carloads, was ordered by one Seattle firm from a single cannery for shipment to Alaska. This cream is really milk condensed to about half its volume, and it is very popular in Alaska. The Alaska's drink it as they eat bacon. In Juneau the cold or so-called "shut-in" months are enlivened with club affairs, dances and social functions, at which the men are required to wear dress suits. There are carpets on the floors of the Alaskan log huts, and the more pretentious houses have almost all American furries. — Binghamton Press. LIQUID AIR FOR SALE LIQUID AIR FOR SALE PUSH-CART MEN SEE NEW OPENING. The Wonderful Power Will Be Sold for 5 Cents a Gallon-An Immense Plant Being Established in New York City. Pushcart vendors will soon sell liquid air at a nickel a gallon, and every house will have its own cooling apparatus. A plant capable of turning out 1,500 gallons of liquid air daily has been established in West-Thirty-third street, and a company expects to put the discovery on the market in a short time as a commercial product. The air is produced with comparative cheapness, and will be sold as a refrigerant and as a source of power. The promoters of this new novelty gave a public exhibition yesterday of their apparatus, and demonstrated that they could produce air much cheaper than any one else. The apparatus for producing the air is the Ostergren-Burger process. While the system follows Tripler's invention in the main, the insulation used by Ostergren and Burger to prevent the absorption of warmth from the surrounding atmosphere appears to be more effective. Tripler roughly estimated the cost of producing a gallon of liquid air to be about 20 cents. Ostergren and Burger appear to get it for from 6 to 10 cents at present, although they hope to improve on these figures. With a steam engine capable of developing 200 horse power in a day of twenty-four hours an output of about 1,500 gallons has been obtained. The new experimenters in this interesting line of work have invented a motor for utilizing the stored energy of the liquid air and hope for a patent within a few weeks. Already they have a tiny turbine operated by a jet of vaporized liquid, and this turbine drives a fan. Rooms occupied by peo- THE WESTERN COLLEGE The oldest Christian institution in the West.

It is thought that by using the liquefying apparatus in place of an ammonia plant cold storage may be had as cheaply as by any other method. It has been a puzzling matter hitherto to put liquid air in a convenient shape for transportation. It was found to be unsafe to inclose it in sealed receptacles, because evaporation was sure to take place, and the pressure which would thus be exerted from the interior upon the walls of the containing vessel would be rulnous. But a plan has been devised for obviating this difficulty, yet without allowing expensive waste. A vessel that has double metallic walls holds the fluid, and the air which evaporates on escaping from the inner receptacle flows out between the two metallic walls, but it is kept there under pressure. A safety valve prevents any serious tension, and yet discourages the volatilizing process. The vessel described is enclosed in a much larger one of wicker or similar material, and excelsior is packed between it and the outside walls of the reservoir. In these receptacles the company will put the air on the market at a low figure.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

This milk, when subjected to a temperature of over 28 C., runs into a yellow oil, which is imported in great quantities from India and Africa. The better qualities of it are obtsined from Cey- lon, Cochin-Clina and Australia. The nut produces 60 per vent of of] and one acre of land planted with cocoa- nut trees would produce over 400 pounds of oil. This has hitherto been used for fats for soap, or for machinery oil, and the better qualities employed in the manufacture of textile goods. In France this oil is now subjected to a special treatment and converted into butter. Dr, Heuner, a German chemist, pro- poses to buy up all the cocoanut dils and transform them into what he terms “vegetable butter.” _ The cocoanut butter, like that made from cows’ milk, contains 7 per cent of soluble acids. It will keep from fifteen to twenty days without show- ing any eign of acid reaction, and it contains from twenty-rive to thirty times less water than ordinary butter, while its slowness in oxidizing makes it specially suitable for pastry and cakes, as they wifl not get stale so quickly when made with it as with other butter, | Another advantage claimed for the cocoanut butter fs that it seems to be an antiseptic medium, while milk is most favorable to the culture of mi- crobes. At the central hospital of Vienna and in various hospitals in Switzerland experiments have been made with this new buiter and the results have beei pronounced gstisfac- tory. ONLY WANTED TO SEE, Role of Spectator. There was no limit to the humor- ous situation for which the late Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Clark, bishop of Rhode Island, was responsible. Some years ago, while aftending a lecture in Boston, he observed a man sitting three seats in front whom he thought he knew. He requested the person sit- ting next te him to “punch” the other individual with his umbrella. The polite stranger did so, and, the disturbed person turning his head a little, Bishop Clark discovered his mis- take. It was not the person he sup- posed. Fiving his attention steadfast- ly on the lecturer, and affecting un- consciousness of the whole alfair, he left the man with the umbrella to set- tle with the other for the disturbance, and this man, being wholly without an excuse, there was, of course, a ludi- crous and embarrassing scene, during all of which Bishop Clark was pro- foundingly interested in the lecture. At last the man with the umbrella asked, rather indignantly: * “Didn't You tell me to punch that person with my umbrella?” “Yes,” “And what dj! you want?” “I wanted to see whether you would punch him or not.” w Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute “THE WESTERN TUSKEGEE” & t Eg Five teachers from that famous institution.
