"I saw a funny thing In Cheyenne I a few weeks ago," aid a Detroltcr who returneil from a Western trip the other lar. "I wai wandering around town to see the elephant antf chance led me Into a big saloon where all tho scrappers made their head-1 quarters. Hack ot tho saloon was a building where a professor of th? manly art gnro instructions, and where the 'pugs' thumped each other, at exhibitions. They were 'trying! out a new arrival that day and Ij should say there wero forty or fifty! tough looking chaps' In the placet Soon after I entered a young luan, who had come through from PonYcr In my car dropped in. He couldn't have been over 24 years of age, while, he was over six feet tall and bis weight only alout 1-0 pound:. He was long-race;, thin nnd long-legged and reminded you of nothing so much as a lioy on stilts. Two men were getting reudv to go on when longi legs peeled off his coat, vest, tie and collar, put them in my charge, and' climlcd upon the platform." "That was a dcfl to the crowd?" "Exactly, and In tbout a minute they put a man up to punch hi head off. They gave long-leg a second and the first thing he did was to take the glassos off the young man's nose. The latter reached for them and said: " 'Excuse me, but I always fight with my glares on.' " lut they'll get knocked o.T or Jammed into your fare.' " 'iKin't you tcllevc it! It's never hapiened yet, and I don't think it will now.' "Tne Bv-rapfcr over In tho other corner couldn't make it out. Hero was a man so sure of himself that ho was going to put up Ills dukes with n pair of eye-glasses on his nose. Ho must, perforce, be a knocker-out from Knockersvllle, ami It was lie; ter ti retreat than to carry around a broken Jaw. He therefore retreated. Sev eral others came forward, but when they haw long-legs seated cross-legged in his corner with those glasses poised so Jauntily they didn't want anything of him. Then he got WP and said: " '(icntlcmen, there is no limit ta weight. 1 always light in glasses, as I'm a little near-sighted. I will however, remove my glass eye anr fale teeth if deemed best. Will yout best man step up here for a couple ol rounds?' "Hut no one stepped. lie waited f, minute or two and then pulled nU the gloves with a look of disappoint ment and g'it into his clothes and wc went out together. Ho dldn t lool to me at ail like a scrapper, and a we walked down the street 1 said: ) " ' hat sort or a deal were y giving that crowd?' "'A glgantis bluff,' ho answer with a laugh. " 'Arc you a lighter:' " 'I never struck a b'.ow In my 1 not even la tun.' j " 'Hut supiKise ono of those scrap pers had tackled you?' " '1 should have backed down and asked 'cm all up to drink. Kut there was no danger. I've tried it half a do.eti times before, and tho glasses' always ecttlc 'em.' " How about the glass eye and the fa 10 teeth?' " '1 simply rung 'em in to help oni the blulT. Haven't got a false tooth, in my head, anil both eyes are per fect. It's a bluff of my own lnvcn tlon and works like a charm, l'lease don't give It away.' "And that afterno:n," said the De troiter in conclusion, "when wo took tho train east there were a hundred sjiorts down at the depot to see long leg i off, and I'm a duffer if they didn't present him with a bottle of wine and give him three cheers and a tiger!"

Moreover, diflcrent flowers keep dif. ferent hours. Tho daisy opens at tuurlso and closes at sunset, whence Its name, '-day's eye." The dande lion (Leoniodoii) is said to open about 7 and to close about 5; Arenaria rubra to be open fiom !l to .T, tho whlto water lily (N.vmpii ia) from about 7 to 4: tho c iiiiinon mouse-car hawkwecd (Hioracltim) from hi to 3; the scarlet plmrcrncd (Anagallis) to waken at " and close soon after 2; 'ir.igopogon platcnsls to open at 4 it. the morning and cloo Just before 12, whence its English name, "John go to bed at nooii." Farmers' boys ia some paits an said to regulate, their dinner time by it. Other ilowers, on tho contrary, open in tho evening. Now it Is obvious that Ilowers which ate fertilized by night-Hying insects would derive no advantage from being open by day, and on tho other hand, that those which are fer tilized by bees would galu nothing by being open at night Nay, It would be a distinct disadvantage, be causo It would tender limn liabie to lo robbed of their honey and pollen by Insects which aro not capable ol fertilizing them. I havo ventured to suggest, then, that tho closing ot tho Ilowers may have reference to the habits of thu insects, and it may bo observed also in support of this that wliiil-rcrtilked (lower do not sleep; and that many or those tlowen which attract insists by buiell open und emit their scant at particular hours; thus Hesperui matronal Is and Ly clils vesperilna smell iu the evening mid Orchis blfolla is pai licularly sweet at uiuhu "Mine Ih tho 'busltiesa before pleasure' that you heard of so much,1 aid the man at the theatrical box window. l'hiludelpbla Kccord. 1" Hn,' I from W iooo. k tlSlMt 'Vork ihnrsttL lOOOw Voltl.
