A Sample of His Nerve.
Buck Taylor, the showman, was a
great friend of Captain Wlllianc |
O'Neill, the rough rider who was killed j
nt Las Guasltnas, Cuba, in the Spanish-
American war. O'Neill was sheriff of
Tucson, Ariz., when Taylor became ac
quainted with him, and on more than :
one occasion the cowboy rendered the j
easterner a service.
"Did O'Neill deserve the reputation :
he held for nerve?" Taylor was once j
asked.
"Well." lie said and then hesitated,
as If careful to choose the right words,
"I don't think there was anything that I
{Bucky O'Neill was afraid of. Once he
went Into a den where ten of the pals
of a murderer and train robber he was j
after were gathered, laid his hand on j
the man's shoulder and walked him j
out. lie had not a friend or ally within I
eight or hearing. Was that nerve V"
She Had Tested the Oyster.
Dora, the pet of the household, was j
very fond of oysters, and after eating ;
her lunch of oysters and crackers she
thought of her dear mother busy at her
sewing machine. She selected a nice j
large oyster, put it in a plate and car- !
ried it to her mother, who, pleased
with her little daughter's thoughtful- i
ness, ate the oyster and said:
"It is most as good as my little
girlie."
"Yes," answered Dora, "I know it is
good 'cause I licked it all the way
from the kitchen."—Delineator.
Occupying.
Dressing dolls has become the serious
business of a great many people, but
especially of American men.—Puck.

NEW YORK, June 2.
The first aetoplaue to cross the Hud
son river made the trip today. Frank
Goodale.with a Strobie dirigible,made
an ascent from the Palisades in Jersey,
swung out into the river,made a giant
i circle above the big cruiser New York
; lying at the naval anchorage,and then
! proceeded across to the New York side,
only to finally laud in the river half a
m le north of Grant's Tomb,after first
having hit a tree in Riverside park.
DuriDg his progress Goodale dropped
! a message of greeting on the deck of
, the warship.
TOWED ASHORE BY ROWBOAT.
* He then continned and circled the
1 dome of the tomb twice and started
back for Jersey. A stray gust of wind
drove him against a tree, bending a
I propeller blade, but a score of men
i grasped the anchor ropes and drew the
i machine down. Qnick repairs were
made and then he started auew in tiie
fog to cross the river. Another vagr
ant biceze hit his ship and his engine
fouled jast as he got over the water
again. Bat he kept at his work and
j finally lauded his frail craft in the
Hudson alongside of a rowboat which
j picked him up and towed the machine i
to shore. It was the most successful i
flight over attempted here, notwith
standing the rain and fog adding to
the difficulties Good.de encountered.

An Economic Pretest.
"Did I understand you to ask me if
j I wanted work?" asked Plodding Pete,
j "That's what you understood, if you
1 understood anything," answered the
' ( woman with a cold, steely eye and a
' square jaw.
"You've got some wood that needs
I chopping, I suppose."
) "I have."
"Lady, I'm surprised at you. Don't

His Saturday Night.
The pretty, broad faced, blue eyed
| j woman was telling how it happened
1 that her husband came home so late
of a Saturday night.
| "When he goes to get shaved foi
Sunday," she said, "he waits so
| for the line that gets there before bin
j that he goes to sleep in the chair while
I he is being shaved. Then the barber,
1 ! who is a friend of his, lets him sleep
1 j as long as he likes after he has fin
| ished with him. But I dou't see how
j he can fall asleep with a dangerous
! razor scraping all over his face. 1
, | couldn't. Could you?"
[ "It isn't the most plausible excuse 1
, [ ever heard," said one to whom the
! question was put, "but it ought to pass
1 on account of its originality."—New
York Press.
Parental Prejudice.
"But why didn't you consult your
! father and me before you were mar
; ried?"
! "Because, mamma, I was afraid you
might prejudice me against him."—
Life.
A Compromise.
A struggling art student, a native of
Pont Aven. went to Paris to study and I
occasionally visited an uncle there, an
elderly shoemaker on the Uue Vaugi- i
rard. The shoemaker was to be count- j
ed on for a square meal and sometimes
even for a small loan. One morning
the uncle welcomed the student far j
more warmly than was his habit.
"Just in time," he said, rubbing his j
hands. "The kitchen door wants paint- j
ing, anu I was about to give the job to j
the commissiontiaire for 3 francs. But
you can have it now. I'll pay yon $5." j
The student flushed and bit his Hp. j
Hard up as be was, he could not so 1
degrade his art as to paint a kitchen j
door. Vet ho needed money badly.
"Uncle," ho said, smiling as a happy i
thought came to him, "I'll tell you j
what to do. Let the commissionnalre j
paint the door for 3 francs, as you had j
Intended, and give me the 2 francs dlf- I
ference."
Seeing and Thinking.
Most people see an object when they j
think of it. They can see before their
eyes a geometrical drawing or the fig- j
ures on a chessboard when they think !
of them. In order to think at all most j
men make use of images, though they i
may bo of different kinds. Thus one I
man when he thinks of "Italy" sees I
just the printed word; another sees the
country's outline on a map; another J
may see the country spread out before j
him, with its villages and towns, j
Psychologists are beginning to classify i
the different aids or images of which i
men make use. Some, for example, I
hear the words of their thought within j
themselves; others read them, as If
the words were written generally in i
black on a white ground.'-*- '«*•*

BUL ETSN
JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES.
Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is
no trip like that 011 the Great Lakes, those inland seas which
form the border line between the 111 ited States and Canada.
And June is one of the most charming months in the year in
which to take the trip.
For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor
Line have 110 superiors. As well-appointed as the palatial
ocean greyhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule
allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the tra
veler to see something of the great lake cities and to view in
daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the
scenery which frames them.
The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake
St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake,
thence through Lake Huron, the looking of the steamer
through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the
Portage Kntry, lake and canal, across the upper end of Mich
igan are novel and interesting features.
The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven
hundred miles in the five day' journey. Leaving Buffalo, the
steamships Juniata and Tionesta, make stops at Erie, Cleve
land, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette, Houghton
and Hancock, and Duluth.
The l'.lOO season opens on June ">, when the Steamer
Tionesta will make her first sailing from Buffalo.
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high
standard set by the"Standard Railroad of America.
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers
rates-of fare, and other information is in course of preparation
and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania Rail
road Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book passengers
who may desire to take this trip.through the Great Lakes and
back.
The Picture In Disguise.
Of (bo strange vicissitudes through
i which many of the world's famous pic
tures have passed perhaps none was
j odder than that of"The Picture Iri
Disguise," a magnificent painting that
now adorns the residence of Lord
i Leigh in Warwickshire, England. This
i remarkable picture for many years aji
} peared to be merely a painting of flow
| ers. The floral study was, however,
: finally pronounced by an astute art
' dealer to be in reality a mask for an
j other painting. With the permission
| of the owner he caused the painting of
1 flowers gradually to be removed,
j whereupon there was discovered un-
I derneath a very fine portrait of
I Charles I. by Van Dyck. While no au
j theutic record of this masterpiece has
J been found, it is supposed that the
j portrait was disguised by some royal
| ist in order to guard against its de
struction by Roundheads during thi
revolution. —Boston Tost.

DANVILLE WON
JNjWATFEST
The Danville Browns took an easy
ouo from Benton on Saturday in a
swatfest, during which a totalof 23
liitß were made by both teams, 15 of
which were on the Danville side of
the tally sheet. The allaronnd good
base ball exhibited by the Danville
tossfrs put tiie game ou ice from the
start, and although Beuton bad sym
ptoms of a batting rally in the fifth,
there was never any imminent dan
ger.
Danville began to make tilings in
teresting for Benton in the first in
nings. Thomas, the first man up,
grounded to short and was out. Clay
berger dropped an unexpected bunt
and beat it out to first. Omlauf flied
out. Doolev got to base on a fielders
choice, and the two trotted in on
Laubach's error ou a throw to first.
Coveleskie flied out. In the second and
third Danville again scored and in the
fifth three men crossed the pan, all the
while slugging Laubach all over the
lot.
In the fifth innings Benton caught
the batting fever and touched Honey
for four singles, netting three runs
with one man down. At his own re
quest Honey was removed from the
box and Coveleskie took his place on
| the mound with the cushions fall. The
| next Benton batter made first on an
' error, scoring "one and leaving
the basi-s full. The next batter drove
| a hot grounder to Omlauf whose speedy
turn to second and Mackert's throw to
first resulted in a double play,retiring
the side. During the remainder of the
game only one scratch hit was made
, off Coveleskie.
In the last innings the Danville play
ers batted out of turn in order to be
I quick outs, as it was nearly time to
catch the last train of the day down
! the road. In view of the bombard
ment in the eighth it is entirely like
ly that a taw more could have beeu
! netted in the ninth had they been
! tried for.
I PICKED ONE OUT OF
AN AUTOMOBILE.
The star play of the game was made
by Thomas, playing first for Danville.
A high fonl was knocked up behind
| first base. It went wide but Thomas,
; nothing daunted by ttie cries of "Yon
can't get it"from the crowd, started
: in hot pursuit. With the ball still in
I the air it became evident that it would
fall among a group of carriages and
automobiles that were standing back
of the ropes. Sprinting along. Thom
as made a mighty spring and lauding
[ in the midst of the occupants of a big
red touring car, caught the ball. It
i was the most sensational catch ever
| made on the Benton grounds and
! brought the crowd to their feet in a
loud cheer for the plucky Danville
: player.
When Covelesbie was substituted
I for McCloud in the fourth innings,
Thomas, his old catcher,"was brought
in from first, Dooley going to first
station. Behind the bat Thomas play
ed a fine game during the remainder
of the contest, doing much to steady
the Polish twirier.

He Got the Ticket.
"Seamen's return" tickets are Issued
by most British railways at seaport
towns to sailors at reduced rates. A
rather well groomed young man de
manded one to Birmingham; the book
ing clerk at Hull demurred.
" 'Seamen's returns' are only Issued
to sailors," ho snapped.
"Well, I'm a sailor," was the reply.
"I have only your word for that,"
eaid the clerk. "How am Ito know It
Is correct?"
"How are you to know?" came the
answer. "Why, you leather necked,
swivel eyed son of a sea cook. If you
feel my starboard boom running foul
of your headlights you'll know I've
been doing more than sit on a stool
bleating all my life, and you'll haul In
your Jaw tackle a bit"
