PROVED HIS ABILITY. A Tenderfoot' Wonderful Feat In Herding Sheep. In the west they toil this story about the east, perhaps by way of retalia tion for souk' of the tall stories about the west that they tell down east. A young num. Just graduated from nn eastern Institution of learning, went to the west and applied at a lare ranch for a Job. "What can you do?" asked the owtier. "N'othlnst much, but I'm willing to work and can learn," replied the eager applicant. Know how to rhle a horse?" "No, I never rode one n my life." "Rather a slim chance lor you to b useful here, I'm afraid." "What have you to do for a man if he could ride?" "Herding sheep." "I think I could get along at that very well without a horse." Young num. I'm afraid you don't know much about this business. I have a large ranch here and some thou sands of sheep. A man without a horse would make a pretty poor show." "Well. I ll tell yoii; when I was nt college I was the champion sprinter of the institution. I hdlcve I could do yon some good service. I have a long distance record too. I w ish you'd give me a chance and let us see what I can do." With n gvd nattiretl but pitying smiie the rain h'tiati said all right and bade bis new man to get some supper, turn in and be ready b go to work early the next morning. When the employer lose next niorti i'.tg ho saw t'to now employe- coming in ft'i'ti the direi-tioti ,.f iii,, sheep ofnt'ters. Somewhat surprNed tit the yocrg fellow 'si ei.iot pi : c In ge;'.iiig up so early, lie aoeoMicil hi:n: "Well, you're up ami ready to go to work, fire you';" "I'll, my, ye-:; I've been nt work for two or three hours." Then th.1 ranchman noted that the tenderfoot was dressed in working clothes, a sweater, and already looked rather Hushed. "What hae you been do::;-';" he askeil. "Mrivin-; those lambs Into the cor ral." "What lambs? I have no lambs. Thi is not th,. lamb season." "Well, I .based eighty-live of them in, and I tell yon I had u time of it too." The ranchman went with the young tenderfoot to see what the story he told was about. And. sure enough, huddled up togeth er, frightened and tired out, wera eighty-live wild jnokrakwits. "All right, young man; I thit v you'll do." said the rani lmian. Chicago Iioo-ord-IIerald. A Bismarck Duel. A duel In which Bismarck was one engaged had a very amusing origin. It occurred when he was chief secre tary of the Prussian legation at Frank fort. He went much Into society and one Christina attended a big ball. Purlug the height of the festivitiea Bismarck's attention was directed to nn exceedingly pompous Individual who strutted about the room. This was M. do Clancy, a noted French duelist. Later on this Important individual took part In the dance, but having omitted to leave his hat nt the proper place laid perforce to hold it out al most nt arm's length while he danced. The spe. ta. le tickled Bismarck im mensely, and. as the Crem hmuu came sailing majestically along. Bismarck stepped forward and dropped a coin into the hat. A duel was one of the next day's events. Though it was with pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt, while his adversary Was wounded. Homo Gfcv.n Motors. Even a book agent sometimes fails of nohi.'wiiiont through unforeseen uiisundcrstiimiiug.

The cohmcl looked at him i'l aston- ishmeiit. "Why. stranger," he said. "them boys of mine don't need any cyclopedia. They ride mules."-Youth's Companion. Put Crepe Ia Windows. Passengers on do Second nvenn elevated rond witness one custom that seems peculiar to the people living In the Hats along that line of travel. They frequently see streamers of crape tied to the second and third story front windows that open on lire escapes. Somehow the bereaved relatives fts? that crape on the flat house door will not indicate with snnioiont clearness which family litis Buffered loss, so to point out exactly the rooms where mourning exists the windows are hung with crape.

The lady was collecting donations for a tire escape' for a building of th Ladles' Aid society. The man listened quietly and then told the woman he would see what he could do. He arose and weut into tho inner office. Intending to send out a crisp two dollar bill, but on opening the money drawer he was confronted liy a glittering array of new five and ten cent pieces. And then this thought came upon him: "instead of giving $2 to this charity for a fire esoain; why not take $2 in dimes and nickels and go out on the street and give to every poor person who asks you until the entire (2 is gone?" And so he told his clerk to inform the woman who was waiting in the outer office that unfortunately a con tribution could not be spared today. It was o'clock in the afternoon, the lamps were lit, tho streets were in stinct with life, the air was keen. And no he buttoned his overcoat, put $2 in loose change In one of his pockets, and, putting on his hat and gloves, be walked Into the street. A little girl with a shawl pinned over her bead, with .". dress whose scanty, knee high length showed a pair of pitifully thin le.-s-a girl with a half fed expression and a general mica red for Io"k called out in a plain tive voice: "Matches, si"? Two boxes for . cents." He stopped anil, givivg her 5 cents, took the two boxes of I.! .itches. "I o yon ktvp all you make?" "No. I only beep half Mrs. Johnson gets the other half." "Who's Vrs. Johnson' ' "Tl e ho'y I lives with." The it. an dived down !:ito his pocket n ml lis!, od up a dim, "Here's 10 cents ott-.i for you, mind not for Mrs. Johnson." "nit. I can't do that!' answered the little girl. "Yoti see i v mother tolo tne afore she died that t o matter how I was t mpted that I should keep hone-t. And then Mrs. Johnson start el me in business -st:e bought the matches for me. I'll have to give her half. It wouldn't be r:-'it. you know, to keep it ill!." "That's t:ne," said the man quickly. "Here's in cents for Mrs. Johnson." And there darted thron-'i his mind the th'm.'!it that lu. a inn:, of the world, had learned a lesson from a little chili"' who sold matches. And then, as ho moved nwv and said good night, he did something strange for a man of the world to do he lifted his hat to the waif of the streets. "I m you want any pi noils, sir?" Fie turnd to the old woman a kind ly faced old woman, wrinkled, bent. She carried a little basket on her arm. "Yes," he answered. "I did want a pencil. What else have you got there?" She looked down in the basket to make a quick Inventory. "Needles, pins, soap, pencils, darning cotton, shoestrings, hatpins, blacking, combs, matches and toothbrushes." "Well, give me a iiencll, a box of matches and a needle." "A needle?" she said, smiling up at him. "Why, bless your heart, sir, I don't sell single needles. Nobody does. You buy "cm by the paper." "Ah." he sahl reflectively, "I guess you'd better give me a toothbrush then. "That makes "n cents altogether," she said. He gave her 20 cents and was nbout to move away after she had thanked him when suddenly be bethought him to ask her how old she was. "Sixty four on the 3d of April next," she said. "Sixty four," he said thoughtfully, "and no one to take care of you?" "Clh. yes. indeed, there Is," she an swered brightly. "My husband. I only do this to keep out of mischief. You see, he's a night watchman, does on tit 4 o'clock iu the afternoon and stays on until T In tin- morning.

An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty Centuries Ago. Probably the oldest letter in the world Is fie letter of Panbesa, written fifteen centuries before Christ to his friend, Amcneniapt, a scribe. The imin.iscrlpt is of perishable papyrus, and it Is amazing that it aboil Id haw survived for more than thirty centuries and still be legible. It is preserved in the collection of the British museum. It has been sev eral tl ucs translated. It presents an Interesting picture of life in Egypt iu the tin e of Lameses II. It Is more In the na;;ire of a literary production, a poem composed in celebration of the visit of Pharaoh to the city of Pa Hameses, than an ordinary letter of to day. Panbesa "greets his lord, the scribe Amcneniapt. to whom lie life, health and strength." and then goes on to de scribe the verdant Holds, the thrashing floors, the vineyards, the groves of olives, the orchards of llgs, the great daily markets, with their fish and wa terfowl and swarms of purchasers.. The citizens had their "sweet wine of Kliemi. pomegranate wine and wine from the vineyards," and to these they added "beer of Katl." There was music in plenty furnished by the singers of the school of Memphis. On the whole. Pa-lliiineses seems to have been a pleasant place to live in. "The lesser folk are there equal with the groat folk." and I'tinbcsa writes that its maidens were "hi holiday at tire every day," with locks "redolent ol perfumed oil." t;-:e city of canals. Venice and the Many Islands Upon Which It Is Built. Ycii'ii-e Is one of the most singular and famous cities iu Kuvope ami lit built upon a cluster of Islands in the Itigoon. This lag ion is banked ofT from the Adt'atie by a long, narrow sand bank which is divided into a number of Isl tin! -. six in number. Inside of this s.tnd lank and lietween It and the inaiuiaud is the lagoon, a sheet of shallow water. In parts of this marsl y. sea covered plain Islets have become coits dilated Into ground, lirni enough to be cultivated. And hi the midst of a crowded cluster i.f such islands, amounting to between seventy ami eighty In num ber, the city of Venice Is built. The chief of these islands is called Isolda de llialto, or Island of the I leep .Stream. The Islands, iu many places mere shoals, afford no adequate foun dation for buildings, and the city for the most part Is built upon an artill clnl foundation of piles and stones. The Crand canal divides Venice into two equal parts and Is the main thor oughfare for tratllc and pleasure. The city is subdivided by some one hun dred and forty-six small canals or wtiter streets, and the gondola is used for the carriage. Access cau also be had to various parts of the city by land, there being over three hundred bridges across canals. The Itlnlto. the most famous bridge, spans the Grand cnutil. There are also narrow lunes in among the holises. The Overruling of a Judge. A Judge once awoke In the night to find his room in the possession of two armed burglars. Covered by the pistol of one of the marauders, the jud:,e watched the proceedings with, his usu al judicial calm. One of the depreda tors found a watch. "Don't take that." the judge said; "It has little value and is a keepsake. l'he motion is over ruled." replied the burglar. "! appeal," rejoined the Judge. The two bur glars consulted, and the spokesman then replied: "The appeal Is allowel.
