CAGED WITH A WILD MAN. "Remember that time, Major?" said the railroad man. "You bet I do," rejoined the Major. "Uo ahead and tell It," said the others. The Major lifted his glass and care fully scrutinized the bright liquid. ".Well, Tom's line, you see, wna Just be ing Put through the Interior of the State. t that time, and one day he asked me ito go out with him to some little town (which he was going to open with an auction sale of lots and free beer and sandwiches for the people, and all that, you know. Well, I went along, and there was a big freight cac loaded down ,wlth kegs and provisions. Everybody ,-was having a great time. Tom got 111 during the sale, so he went into a little shanty to He down, while I went over to the freight oar to get some Ice to put on his head. I was In the car, scouting around after Ice, when all of a sudden some one slammed the door to and made the inside of the car as dark as pitch. Then somebody In the darkness began to swear like a pirate, and I heard him swing his revolver loose. I began to see the game then. It seems that there was a fellow around there that a good many people wanted to kill, iirl they said they were going to kill him that day at the sale, too. Some body had pointed him out to me during the morning, and I had heard him brag, so I recognized this voice In the dark ness. I think he decided that they had slammed the door on him so that when he opened It to come out they could get a good fair chance to make a sieve of him. The way that man swore was positively frightful. "He wasn't very glod company, elth er. I stood still so long that I felt the bones In my legs creak like old timbers, und I didn't breathe any harder than a canary bird. He went on swearing at a great rate. "I began to think of Tom and his pain, wishing he had died rather than I hud come for that Ice. "At last I found that I had got to move. There was no help for It. My legs refused to support me In this posi tion any longer. My head was grow ing dizzy, and If I didn't change my at titude I would fall down. I hadn't re mained motionless for so very long, either, but In a darkness where a man can't tell whether he In standing on his feet or his ears the faculty of balance isn't much to be counted on. My heart stopped short when I felt myself sway but I shifted one foot quickly, and there I was again. But that accursed foot had made a squeak. "The fellow listened for a moment, and then he yelled: 'Who Is In here?" "I didn't say a word, but Just dropped down to the floor as easy as a sack of oats. "He listened for a time, and then bel lowed out again: 'Who's In here?' suppose he figured that it wasn't one of his enemies, or they would have got Mm while he was swearing to himself over In the corner. , " 'Who's In here; Come alon Jiovv, galoot, an' speak up, er I'll begin f bore leetle holes In yeh! Who r yeh, anyhow! Whistle some how, tr I'll fire at ye!' "He was beginning to get mad as a wildcat. I could fairly hear Unit fellow lashing himself Into a rage, and getting more crazy every minute. All the kegs were up in his corner, and when I felt around with one hand I couldn't rind a thing to get behind. Every second I expected to hear him begin to work his gun, and if you have ever lain In the darkness and wondered at what precise spot the Impending bullet would strike, you know how I felt. So when he yelled out again, 'Who er you?' I spoke up and 'aid, 'It's only me.' " 'Thunder,' cried he, In a roar like a bull, 'Who's me! (Jive yer hull name an' pedigree, mister, if yeh ain't iond of reg'lar howling, helling row!' " 'I'm from Houston,' said I. "Houston,' said he, with a snort. 'An' what er yeh doln' here, stranger?" I came out to the sale,' I told him, "'Hum,' Bald he; and then he remaln d still for some time over in his end of the car. "I was congratulating myself that I ran no more chance of trouble with thJ3 lend, and that the whole thing was now a mere matter of waiting for some merciful fate to let me out, when sud dily the fellow said: '.Mlsterl " 'Sir!' said I "'Open that there door!' 'Er what?' "'Open that there door!' " " 'Er the door 'to the car?' "He began to froth at the mouth. I "link. 'Sure,' he roarer. 'Th' door t' Hi' car! There hain't fifty doors here, he ther! Slid 'er open or else, mister, you be a goner sure!' And then hu cursed my ancestors for fifteen genera lions. " 'Well but look here,' said I. 'Ain't Hook here ain't they going to shoot " soon aa anybody opens that door. It- " 'None 'a "yer business, straiiK ,r.' the fellow howled. "Open that 'here door, er I'll everlastln'ly make er v"ntllator of yeh. Come on, now! Step UP!' He began to prawl over In my di lution. 'Where are yeh? Come on ji'W, galoot! Where are yeh? Oh, Jest lenune lay my ol' gun ag'ln yeh an' I'll "'i' out! Step up!' "TIiIb cat-like approach In the dark "ens wus too much for me. 'Hold on,' "aid i, .j.jj open the aoor. "He gave a grunt and paused. I got UP and went over to the door. "Now, stranger,' the 'fellow said. "oon as yeh open th' door. Jest step nslde an' watch Luke Burnham peel w kln off er them skunks.' ' ..'Cut, loo here,' said I. " 'Stranger, this halnt no time t' ar gr! Open th' door!' "I put my hand on the door and pre pared to slide my body along with It. I had hoped to find It looked, but unfor- I tunately it was not When I gave it a preliminary shake, It rattled easily, and 1 could see that theie was going to be no trouble Inv opening the door. ! "I turned toward the Interior of the car for one last remonstrance. 'Say, I haven't got anything to do with this thing. I'm Just up here from Houston to go to the wale' "Hut the fellow howled again: 'Stran ger, er you makln' a damn' fool 'a me 7 By the ' " 'Hold on,' said I. TU cptn the door.' "I got ail prepared, and then turned my head. 'Are you ready?" " "Let 'er go!' "He was standing back In the car. 1 could se the dull glint of the revolvers In each hand. " 'Let 'er go!' he said again. "I braced myself, and put one hand out to reach the end of the door, then with a groan, I pulled. The door slid open, and I fell on my hands and knees In the end of the car. " 'Hell,' said the fellow. I turned my head. There was nothing to be seen but blue sky and green prairie, and the lit tle group of yellow board shanties with a red auction flag and a crowd of peo ple In front of one of them. "The fellow swore and flung himself out of the car. He went prowling off to ward the crowd with his guns held barrels down and with his nervous fin., gers on the triggers. I followed him, at a respectable distance. "As he came near to them he began to walk like a cat on wet pavements, lifting each leg away up. 'Where is he? Where Is th white-livered skunk what slammed the; door on me? Where Is he? Where is he7 Let 'lm show hls self! He dasscnt! What Is he? Where la he?' "Ho went among them, bellowing In his bull fashion, and not a man moved. 'Where's all these galoots what was goln' t' shoot at me? Where be they? Let 'em come! Let 'em show thelr eelves! Let 'em come at mel Oh, there's them here as has got guns hangln' to 'em, but let 'em pull 'em! Let 'em pull 'em onct!

Let 'lm projuce hlssel, th' ,' and he cursed this un known Individual in language that was like black Binoke. "But the men with guns remained si lent and grave. The crowd for the moitt part gave him room enough to pitch a circus tent. When the train left he was still roaring around after the man who bad slammed the door." "And so they didn't kill him after all," said some one at the end of the narra tive. "Oh, yes; they got him that night," said the Major. "In a saloon some where. They got him all right " Stephen Crane. Alstelrss IMgeons. "Pigeons are monogamous," said a raiser of those birds for market to a New York Sun writer, "and the female lays but two eggs. One of these Is al ways the egg from which a male la hatched, and the other encloses the fu ture female. If by any accident a cock pigeon loses Its mate, or a hen pigeon becomes widowed, the sympathies of the entire cote go out to the afflicted brother or sister. If it should so happen that a cock Khould lose his mate and a hen hers, so that they are both mate less at the same time, the aflllcted pair soon forget their grlers In a new life partnership, and all is serene. "But If there Is a widower in the cote, and no convenient widow for him to take to mate, or It there is a widow for whom no widower pigeon is on hand, something must be done to All the va cancy. Upon the first hen pigeon' to nest after the vacancy occurs falls the Important duty. If she hasn't hatched her eggs yet, she promptly dumps one of tho two out of the nest. She never makes a mistake In evicting the right one. If a widow Is to be provided for, the hen throws out the egg containing her future daughter. If a widower Is pining for a mate, she disposes of the son egg. If she has hatched her egg when a demand is made for her sacri fice, she ceases feeding the youngster who will be superfluous, and starves It to death. Pigeons grow fast, end squab hood over, the lone product of that nest becomes mate to the bereaved member of the flock." r.lnuiarck's Tact. An anecdote Is related of Bismarck's early diplomatic career that shows a pleasant degree of magnanimity on the part of the future Chancellor of the German Empire. Count Rechberg call ed on his Prussian colleague Bismarck to show him a dispatch from his Gov ernment, Instructing the Count to vote with Prussia at the next meeting of the Diet. Bismarck read the document, and returned It to the Count, saying: "This Is evidently a mistake." Rechberk In his turn looked at the sheet and changed color. Instead of the official letter he had, by mistake, hand ed to Bismarck the secret Instructions he had received concurrently, calling upon him, while openly countenancing Prussia, to use his utmost endeavors to cause the other German States to vote against the measure. For a moment both statesmen looked at each other in silence. Then Bismarck said: "Don't be upset. You never Intended elvlng me the letter. Ergo, you never , gave It me; ergo, I know nothing about the whole matter." Youin s companion. A Long llrldge. There Is a scheme of uniting Ceylon with India by a railway across Falk's Straits. It will necesltate a bridge of proportions hitherto undreamt of since it will have to be forty-one miles In length. The englneeflng diflloultles are not so formidable as would at first Bight appear, for, although the map shows a formidable breadih of ea be tween the mainland and Ceylon, the railway can be made to traverse It on a series of stepplng-Btones formed by the rocks and shoals known as Adam's bridge.

It Is ism to be Bare That the Tarantula Knows o. "The tarantulKS p'rie in confinement," remit: ked an amateur spider collector, "refuse to spin or tat and seldom live long. A centipede or scorpion, on the other hand, commits suicide when It sees no chance of getting free." "Commits suicide," I asked, "why, how?" "By Inoculating Its body with Its own poison. I have seen It do It time and time again. The cntlpde carries poi son In two little tetth, besides the sack in each of his many feet. He bites his body savagely when ha wants to kill himself, Just as a man would plunge a dagger Into his hexrt." "And how does the tcorplon kill him self?" "His poison llcl in the end of his tall. He turns his tall up ovr his back, and Jabs It In sharply; In a few seconds he is dead." "Which do you tMnk the most Inter eating, tarantulas or centipedes?" I Inquired of this practical student of natural history. "Tarantulas," he replied. "They have better dispositions and are much more Intelligent than their cousins, the cen tipedes." "Do you think they learn to know peeple?" "Do I? Well, I'll show you. Look here, Browney." The little slide down to Browney's hatch was pulled back and the fuzzy, round-bodied king of spiders crawled out on the promenade ground of hard board In front of his dwelling. "Here's a piece of pear for you, Browney," said the master. "Does he like pears?" "Only the Juice. He sucks the Jiilce of raw beef occasionally, too, but he vastly prefers a good, fat grasshopper If he can get him." Browney examined the piece of pear critically with his feeler and pressed It as If to extract the Juice, but he did not seem hungry. The master then t.Ok up the astr-shaped creature In his fing ers and felt separately every one of the fatal little legs. "You see he is not hostile to me. Now let my brother attempt to play with him." A curley-headed young man of twen ty or thereabouts drew near and called to the tarantula coaxingly. Browney instantly hunched himself up and retracted In a pet, showing plainly his dislike. "When hu was free and very busy one day I watched him unwind yards and yards of spun thread and float down on a veritable ladder of It to a cranny half way down the rocky sur face of a steep bluff. There Jie captur ed a Juicy beetle. He drags his prey after him by folding It lit his threads and hitching It to those pegs on li is back. His eyes are in the top of his head." "But tarantulas are deadly poison?" "Yes; but they use their poison as a defense. They have enemies to guard against Just as other creatures. Their poison is carried In a little sack in the last section of each foot and In the little sharp claw at the extremity, that is also hollow. They also have two teeth that are venomou.s "I have observed that hey tend their young until they are four weeks old. After that they deliberately run away from them and leave them to look af ter themselves. This plan teaches them self-reliance." St. Louis Star. i The Strange Story of a Kli g. It Is stated on what appears to be good authority that In one of the parks in the Spanish capital city of Madrid a magnificent ring hangs by a silken cord about the neck of the statue of the Maid of Almodma, the patron saint of Madrid. This ring, though set with diamonds and pearls, Is nevertheless entirely unguarded. The police pay no attention to It, nor is there any thief, however daring, would venture to top proprlato It to his own UBe; and when the history of the ring is considered, it Js hardly to be wondered at that a superstKloua people prefer to give it a wide berth. According to the story that Is told of It, the ring was made for King Alfonso Xlt., the father of the present boy King of Spain. Alfonso presented It to his cousin Merceds on the day of their betrothal. How short her married life was all know; and on her death the King presented the ring to his grandmother. Queen Christina., Shortly afterwards Queen Christina died, and the King gave the ring to his sister, the Infanta del Pilar, who died within the month following. The ring was then given to the youngest daugh ter of the Due de Morotpensler. In less than three months she died, and Al fonso, by this time fearing that there was some unlucky omen , connected with the bauble, put It away In his own treasure box. In less than a year the King himself died, and It was deem ed best to put the ring away from all the living. Hence It was hung about the neck of the bronze efflgy of the Maid of Almodma, where It appears to be as safe as though surrounded by a cordon of police. Harper's Round Table. Motives for Early English Battlement. While the Dulch In the West and the British in the East made trade and wealth derived from commerce, their chief object, the object of the latter In the West was to make settlements, to establish a home, to dwell where they could practice their religion free from all Interference and dictation. Their distinct iollcy became, shaped as It was by the course of events at home, to found a New England. This gave, as between the British and the Dutch, a character of perseverance to the ef forts of the former, who, being insula! and not at that time so exclusively de voted to commerce, were less vulner able than the latter by s.a and not al ail by land. a The Purltan'settlers were not guided in their choice of territory by thirst foi gain; they wanted to found a nation to begin again, breaking with the tra ditions of the past, in a place where neither English law and Government nor the English Church, as directed bj Laud, and operating through the Btai Chamber, could follow them.
