Frank Avery Is a IiIr negro wlio liven In tho town of Lake. Kugcno Looko is a whlto man who boards on Sooloy nvomie. Both men walked into Billy Lakemnn's baloon, at 341 West Madison street, at 7:30 last evening and declared that thev wcro ready to oit ten of Lakcman's pics on a wager of 810. Tho pastry was spread on a lahlo near tho pool table. All tho pics had an uptier and a lower crust, and tho conditions of tho match compelled tho contestants to cat both crusts as well as tho back crust. It was just f o'clock when Mr. Lakcman yelled "Go 1" Tho negro was tho first to soizo n pie. Ho grabbed n, huckloberry and ran it through his mouth liko a harmonica. In ono minnto nnd four teen seconds not n remnant of tho pie remained. Avery fed his apnetito with an apricot, which ho swallowpd with considerable) gusto in 1.17. For his second pio tho negro selected a cold mince, which ho gulped down in 1.12. Tho whfto man ran his fanga into a dried applo pio, and, to tho surprise of his frionds, finisliod it in 1.11. Tho negro ran his oyes over tho oollostion boforo him and picked out a dropsical looking huckleberry. TIiib ho Bwallow cd in 1.15. Avery was just ono second slower in getting ontsido of an apricot. Tho negro now mado a spurt Seizing a poauli pio with both hands ho ran about four inches of crust and fruit in to his big mouth, and then bis teeth came down with a crash. A suppressed groan escaped from his huckleberry bo daubed lips and his oyes rolled as though they were being worked on pivots. Then his lips parted and some thing whito was blown against tho counter. "Foul I" yelled ono of tho whito man's friends, who thought the negro was discarding a piece of crust. "Foul nnffin," gasped the negro. "That's a toof." The whito thing was picked up by rMr. Lakcman and placed in a boer mug. It proved to bo a stomach tooth which had been broken close to tho jaw by a pieco of poach stone. Avery finished his pio in two minutes. Locko then swallowed a huckleberry in 2.05. The negro nearly knocked himself out with a dried currant pie which had been labeled as mince. Ho choked on the eiguth moiuntul, but recovering lumselt tinisned the pio in 2.10. Locko, who now showed signs of distress, grabbed up a two-crusted lemon and toro a largo holo in its side. A stream of syrap ran into his whiskers and trickled upon his shirt front. Billy Lakcman offered to wring the beard, bnt .1 l.:. .-j -. ' j ui (jiu-uner wiiumu jiu assistance ana finished the somewhat marshy pie in 2.15. The necro devoured his third huckleberry in 2.40. Locke now met with his first misfortune. While tho match was yet in its infancy ho asked to have a minco pie warmed on tho stove. His wish was gratified. The pie was placed where it would sap all tho heat the old coal stove furnished and when it came back to the racer it was hot enough to need a fan. Locko took a big bite and then danced out into the middle, of the floor with a muffled whoop. The crowd yelled, but tho racer held his food. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks and his eyes bulged out with a wild stare. It took Locko 3 minutes and 20 seconds to finish the pio. The negro gained a lap during his opponent's struggle with the "hot mince, and destroved his eignin pie a sour ruuuaru in very short timo. The eighth pie the negro picked up was made of applet It had a puffy crnst, and the racer in order to gain time attempted to stow away tho upper crust in his coat pocket Ho was caught at the trick, however, and compelled to follow the conditions of the match. Locke removed his coat and vest and loosened his suspenders when ho carao up for his seventh pie a pitted pruno which was leaking like a fifty cent umbrella. Ho mado a terrible effort to catsh up with his opponent, but to no avail. He finished the pie in the slow time of 5.02. The negro ate his fourth huckleberry pio in threo minutes, tho spurt being wildly cheered by the spectators. Locko was clearly a loser when he tackled his eighth pie a heavy apricot, with a big gothio punctured in the crust. It took him seven minutes to get outside of tho sinker. Avery, seeing that ho was a Buro winner, choso a cold mince "to top off with." Ho was attacked with nausea before ho had taken two mouth- iulu, however, and would havo dropped to tho floor had not Lakcman turned a stream of seltzer water down his back. lhts revived tho weary negro, who finished the pio in eleven minutes. Locko took his last mouthful out of his last pie two minutes later. Ho at tributed his defeat to the hot mince, At tho close of the match the two men were led to the gymnasium, whero they were treated for gripes and nausea. The winners time was 35 81 and tho loser's 38.21 An Ancient Town, UISCOVKRV OP INTERESTING RUINS EAST OF SOCORRO, NEW MEXICO. To the eastward of Socorro, N. M, two prospectors a low days ago acol dentlly stumbled upon indications of ancient ruins projecting above the shifting sands of tLo plain. A careful examination convinced them that be neath their feet buried in tho desert sands lay tho rums of an ancient town Turning to with their shovels to ex ploro their hud a few hour's work brought them to tho floor of a small room in tho form of a parallelogram '1 bo Socorro Jiullion thus describes tho relics unearthed: "They found the remains ot several human beings, several handsome vases carved with geometrical figures of dif, ferent oolore, stono axes, ham mors, pieces of oloth apparently maim facturcd from tho fiber of yucca, sever al Binugs oi ucaus, sea sneiu. arrow heads, un abundance of fragments of obsidian quartz, and an incrediblonuan tity of pieces of broken pottery, inolud ing several with a blue glazing. Only in ono omer instance, nave wo over heard of this color and quantity ol waro haying been discovered in thit Territory, and that was at the ancient pueblo near tho Santa Kita, in this country, and it indicates that the Span iards had lived in Now Mexico before tho extinction of the race who inhab ited this ruined and burled village, The miners do not know whether they lappea mo uen or tho poorest spot tn thoir buried towu in this first excava tion, They have, however, resolved to conuiiuo digging.

'Tho temples ndvertiso their wants by posting on walls in tho neigh borhood Eqnaro pieces of yollow paper, whereon is tho cxaot Chinoeo equiva lent of tho sorlpturnl, "Ask nnd thou shall receivo,1' together with tho uamo and location of the temple where pray ers aro always answered. But thcro arc also moro personal forms of begging. The writer iins seen in l'ckin n priest whose cheeks had been pierced, nnd tho teeth knocked out, so that an iron rod, ns largo as one's middle, finger, could bo passed through, to project an In oh or two boyond either cheek. An irqn half circlo was hinged to each end of this and passed around tho back of the priest's head. Attached to tho half circles was an iron chain which was so lonp as to dragon tho ground sovcr al feot behind him. His business was to go from house to honse, boating a small drum, asking help to tcpair a tcmplo. Sympathy would bo wasted on him. Ho was a "professional church debt lifter,'1 who had monthly wages nnd a commission on his collections and tho rod nnd chain wcro his stock in trade. Thcro is another way, still moro pecu liar. A priest stands in a small box like structure, placed in front of a temple, through tho boards of which spikes have been driven, so that the imprisoned priest can inovo no part of his body, except his right arm, without being pricked by a spike. With his right hand ho rings a bell to draw at tention to his pitiable condition. Charitablo persons givo bo much for tho privilego of drawing out a Bpiko. Tho highest priced spikes nro those which point at tho vital parts of the body. The priest is supposed to stand in his kennel day and night nntil all tho spikes haro been bought and drawn, but no ono holiovcs ho really does so. A single incident will show how much hardship and self inflicted suffer ing somo of these heathen will under go to fulfill a religious vow. One in tolerably hot and dusty afternoon in 1871 tho writer was resting at a w&y sido tea houso and saw approaching a man and a woman. The man would first tako one long step, then bring his other foot up and measure his wholo length in tho road. Having knocked his head three times on tho ground, he rose, took another step, and again prostrated himself. The woman was the man's wife, and was waiting upon him. In answer to questions, ho said that ho had mado a made a vow that if Buddha would re store to health his son, who was des perately sick, ho would make a pilgri mage to Wu tai-shan and home again, a step and a prostration all tho way. Not moro than threo miles could bo mado in a day. He had traveled about COO of tho 2,000 miles of tho double journoy, and would be two years long er in completing his vow. As be was 78 years old, and almost worn out, it was easy to seo that he would not livo to fulfil it A callous lump as large as an egg projected from his forehead, raised by knocking his bead upon the dusty road. Yet this man was bIi ck- cd and angry at a suggestion that ho should abandon bis useless pilgrimage, and passed out of sight measuring the road with Ins intirra body. xoutns Companion. "Boys, Flag the Trainl" Tbo world takes little nolo of tho heroism exhibited in tho. duties of every-day life, nnd yet it is displayed almost daily in a measure that makes the heroism of the tempest of battlo pale before it. Tho heroism of the battle held is recorded in unfading story; but tho thousands of exhibitions of the noblest individual heroism sel dom cause more than a passing tri bute. Tho most notable exhibitions of heroism are often given by tho engi, neers of trains in cases of serious ac cident. There are many instances within the memory of all intelligent citizens when locomotivo engineers have heroically braved death to save the lives of the passengers entrusted to their skill and care; and it is a rare ex ception when tho engineer does not first consider the safety of others in moments of grave peril to his train. leaving his own safety to chance. True, it is h'w duty; but how many are minaiui ot mo mil measure ot duty when death confronts themT The last words of tho engineer on tne iNOw lork uentral train that was thrown from tho track by a landslide a few davs ano. were "Bovs. flarr tho trainl" His engine had nlungedinto a river down a precipice of two nun drod feet, and he was taken up in tho agonies of death. Ho had performed his duty with a heroism worthy of the Spartan hand of Thermopylae, but his msi inoucnt was lor the safety ot oth ers, and knowing that the train was uuu hi a iuw ininuies, ne coum oniv utter -"Boys, flag the train." when death ended his Buffering. Tho world is too prone to forget tho heroism often exhibited in everv-dav life. It worships at the altar of the heroism of bloody battle fields, whero only tho veries craven could be coward, but it gives scant and grudg ing justice to tno heroism that accepts death in tho lino of duty, and even in tho throes of death is mindful of the safety of others. Thcro is a volumo of grandest heroism in the last words of Engineer Kennar, who in the agony of.death gave his last oider for the safety of his passengers "Boys, flag me train! J'uiadeiphia Jiecord. Editorial Note, An editor, having been nick for long timo perceived that his latter end was approaching, fits spiritual ad vieer comforted him by saying that he, tho editor, would soon enter into his eternal rest, wncro there would be no moro worry and trouble. "Aro printers allowed in Heaven tool ' feebly asked tho dying man. "Certainly, if they havo bcon good." "then," responded tho editor feobly. "I havo no hope.

To his breast thcro clung n child, a lass with golden hair and fair, blue oyes, the imago of Its mother. Thcro was no sleep for falhor's child. All about them Hi tho sleeper men and women wcro wrapt in slumber, dreaming of homo and happiness. Through tho darkness sped tho train. Still sat tho father, with tho clinging child upon his breast. The hoitrso shriek of tho locomotivo caused tho child to tremblo in affright and clasp tho father closer. "There, my (failing, you aro hero with papa,'' and ho smiled amid tho tears that trickled down his cheeks. "Mamma gone," piped tho childish voioo "poor mamma, no more," and then, with studied, serious face tho little ono peered through tho win dow into tho darkness. Then the tears fell faster down tho father's cheek. His oyes wero dull now, his voico was choked. He could not speak.- He only gazed in muto agony through his blinding tours nt tho childish face turning up to his. And tho angels bado the goldon-hair-cd child to speak again. "l'oor mamma,' sho murmured, troking tho moistened cheek of the father. "Baby, throw mamma a kiss," and with her tiny hand, bo soft, bo ink, sho wafted upward a littlo kiss that spread faster than tho train upon the wings of night. A kiss divinely swett, fraught with holy passion, a kiss tho angels wafted onward, up ward, through tho portals of tho un discovered country, to tho realms of Heaven.

Australians, New Zealanders, Esqui maux, hnd other savage people aro totally ignorant of the universal custom of saluting with a kiss. The religious life and beliefs of many Bavage races are hard to under stand. These people seem to think that all things that move aro endowed with lite ; and so believe that animals, water, flowers, and other moving things have spirits like men. Maoris of Now Zealand aro probably the most intelligent and well-mannered of modern savages. They havo given up cannibalism, have adopted the European dress, aro submissive to law, and, when engaged in war, use the milder methods of Christian warriors. Savage races aro found to bo origin ally temperate, but ns soon as thoy oome in contact with the civilized men and learn tho effects ot strong drink they use it to excess and rapidly becorao drunkards.

Tho stubbornly contested trial of tho Everests, father and son, for entering into n criminal conspiracy to ruin tho nsiness and property of tho Buffalo Lubricating Oil Company hns ended in the conviction of tho defendants. The prominence, which tho case has acquir ed betoro tho public is duo very large ly to tno tact that tho conspiracy was projected by members of tho Standard Oil Company and in tho interest of that corporation, some of whoso chief stockholders wero indicted jointly with the Everests, but wero relioved of the chirgo aftor tho trial begun, thoro be ing no implicating ovidenco against them.

If we are to believe tho evidence the cool audacity with which the job was undertaken has had f.w parallels in all tho long list of lawless cnterprisis in whioh the Standard has figurod.
