THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1893 The Information Came Too Late. '"Could I get a little information from you?" asked a farnierliko looking man at the Northwestern station this morning. "Yes. sir," replied the officer. "Well, I want to know how these confidence men work." "In various ways. Sometime they borrow money and give a worthless chock on a hank." "They do, oh?" gasped the man, with a sudden start. "Yen; or perhaps they borrow money and turn over a check fom trunk. When you go to look tor the trunk it is not to 'no found." "By George !" muttered the man. "Tiien, atrain, they soli you a bogus bond, or borrow monev on it." "Sake alive!" "And they sometimes hire their victims to boss a mill or factory tfoniewhero, and then borrow money to pay a freight bill." "Four different ways?" shouted the man, at he jumped clear of tue floor. "Yes." "And I'll be hanged if I haven't been taken in on every one of 'em in a ride of a hundred miles! Say, come down and show me the river the deepest spot in the river the place where 1 can drop in and Won't never come to the surface again with my dough-filled head." No Wheels in Tangier, Among the strangest peculiari ties of Tangier, and one that forces itself upon the attention of the newcomer, is the total absence of any kind of wheeled vehicle. In the entire city (which is an ex ample of all the others in the em pire) there is not even a donkey cart, for the streets are much too narrow to iidmit of their use, and transportation of passengers and merchandise is effected upon the bucks of donkeys, horses, mules and camels, according to the weight and the distance. There are but few streets into which a loaded camel could enter, and not more than three in which ho could jius'.: another loaded camel or horse. Some of the smaller btreets are so narrow, that oven the panniers of a donkey would scrape upon either side, so that in the city itself the transportation devolves upon donkeys for the side streets, and upon horses and mules for the main thoroughfares. Canary Birds. Those pretty creatures are often covered with annoying vermin. They may be effectually relieved of them by placing a clean white cloth over their cage at night. In the morning the cloth will be cov ered with minute red spots, so iimidl that they can hardl y be seen with the naked eye ; these are the parasites, a source of groat annoy unce to the birds. Rubenstoin. Rubinstein, the pianist, it is de clared, would become an American citizen if it were not for the objec tions of hi-; wife. He is quoted as paying: "I am a Russian of Rus sians; but I am also a Republican, and America is the land for those that love libertv." 'FRISCO'S BUI BUR. He Never Refuses to Take a Drink. A Smart Old Lady. Mrs. Nancy Phillips, of North Carolina, nearly 81.' years of agj, put in" tho loom anil wove 18 yards of cloth from the 13th to the 20th of January, which embraced the very coldest days. J Lit loom was in an old house with only one tire place. A Novel Sensation. Miss Centmilles No, Mr. Cash less. Why did you imagine I would marry you? Mr. Cashless I never thought so. Miss Centinillos Then why did you ask me? Mr. Cushless I wanted to see how a man fools who has just lost a liundred thousand dollars. Puck. Not So Bad After All. XJiiole John -What, still study ing, Nellie? They give you hard lessons to learn, 1 fear, Nollio Yes, Undo John, they nre hard to learn, but then yoa know, they are awfully easy to forget. Ono Thing He Was Sure Of. Tonulik Do you think that American women are growing taller? Hojack 1 don' know about that, but they aro keeping Ameri can men us short as over. ADVERTISEMENTS. Specks. Chicago Miss Why do you Boston women wear specks ou your noses? Boston Miss Not for the Kama reason you Chicaga women wea specks on yours. He Rose to the Ocoasion. 8h Have you an eye for th beautiful? He Yes, that is why I'm hew to-night. Is an Inebriate of the First Magnitude Without Appetite or Hair, and is a Mark for Biting Curs and Stone-Throwing Boys. The bears best known to San Franciscans aro those aptly named and wholly disreputable members of the tribe kept in Golden Gate Park and known as Danger and Calamity. The latest comer is Whisky and his homo is on the Potrero, just above the Union Hotel, near the Union Iron Works. Whisky has never pretended to he anything but the property of Frank McManus. tho "King of the Potrero," a title that was self conferred in tho days before the "Keeley cure" had done its per fect work in transforming Mc Manus from a brawling, druuken person into a frank and pleasant man of business. Whisky, the bear, was the inti mato of McManus in the old days of terror, and ho has not been able to change his tastes as readily as has his owner. When McManus was drinking it was his habit to invite Whisky to join him, and the ursine palate very soon accustomed itself to the variety of wet goods kept at tho Union bar. Nothing went amiss with tho bear. The dreurs of the bar buckets were all one with the dainty sweet toddy especially pro pared. As a natural result Whisky became obese, and with that adi pose condition came countless ills. Appetite tied. The glossy coat became patchy from surfeit. The jolly temper was soured by dys pepsia, and Whisky grew melan choly and misanthropic. The other day McManus, brooding over the distress of his long- time compan ion, hit upon tho idea of shaving tho bear as to those parts of his body that were particularly afflicted. A posse of sturdy friends of Whisky offered their services, and tho grumbling bear was stretched Hat, while deft hands removed every vestige of hair from tho body of the beast, leaving only a fierce front of brown fur and a general absurdity of appearance that made even Whisky blush. When tho bear climbed to the top of tho card table for a glass of beer now and then ribald laughter saluted him. The terrier that had been his bosom friend and play mate refused to recognize Whisky in the white-skin nod monstrosity that wandered about McManus's premises, and much of Whisky's time was wasted in trying to get within boxing distance of the in grato dog. Tho curs of tho neighborhood, proverbially fond of Whisky, nipped his Hanks when they saw him robbed of his cinnamon locks, and the bear had many a tussle, and suffered innumerable pinches in maintaining his accustomed su premacy. But two pleasures re mained for Whisky, and they were assiduously cultivated. To guz zle sweetened baer from a bucket and drink strong liquor from a bottle were accomplishments in which neither the terrier nor the other dogs disputed the field with the bear, and as a result VYhisky is fast becoming a sot. When he ventures out of doors to walk his naked body excites re mark and boys pelt him. So ho stays pretty near the stove in the groggery of McManus and accepts all offers to treat, which are so many that it is believed Whisky's surfeit is increasing and may soon result in apoplexy if not delirium tremens. San Francisco Examiner. The Tallest Kings. The exact height of Napoleon I. is variously stated by biographers tit 5 feet 1 1-3 inches, 5 foot 2 inches, and 5 feet 2 1-2 inches. Sever.d monarclis have been bo low the average height. Pepin, of France, was known as the short, and Napoleon III. was rathor bo low tho common height of men. Tho two tallest kings in history were probably Charlemagne and Maximums of R.inio. The former was over S feet high, and so strong that Willi thumbs and fingers he couid straighten three horse-shoes it once. Maximums, the Roman . . i i tOiiiperor, was leet 'i incnes, ami incredible stories of his physical strength are told by ancient his torians. Accommodating.
