Smithers, who As an ardent sports man, always on the lookout for any thing new in that line, limped wearily into his club, and, calling for a high ball, sat gingerly down in the chair farther away from the group at the window. Presently a fellow member, seeing his bandaged hand and the court plas ter on his face, ventured to inquire: "What's the matter, old man; been automobiling?" "No," was the reply. "Fact is, I've been learning .a new game. They call it barrel racing, and as it is getting to be the thing on the other side of the ocean I thought I'd learn it before it reached this country. "The game consists in standing an empty wine barrel on end, tilting it at an angle of about 45 degrees, grasping it with both hands about the tines and twirling it so as to make as rapid speed as possible over a course, the man reaching the finish line first be ing the winner. Well, I got a barrel, and by way of practice started to twirl it. "For about 20 feet I twirled the bar rel. Then my hand slipped, th' bar rel knocked me off my pins, and for the next 20 feet it twirled me. My doctor patched me up. and I'm able to walk again, but I'm blamed if I want any more barrel racing in mine; it's too strenuous." And the sufferer, sinking wearily lSOVjTH HAVEN LIFE-SAVlING CREWJl '.; e The crews of the various life-saving stations established by the United States government at points along the seacoast and on the lakes have time and again shown bravery of the high est order in their self-sacrificing ef WAS ON BUSINESS BENT Love of Books Not the Old Man's Ruling Passion. A.little old man, stooping and white haired, with a rusty hat and long used coat, was bending over the rows of volumes in a dusty, antique bookstore not many miles from East Twenty third street the other day. There was about him something of the flavor of oldtime books and last century litera ture; he might have stepped out of one of those old engravings which show shabby collectors absorbed in their treasures, while small boys pick their pockets from behind, pockets al ready well drained, though, by the col lectors' rulipg passion. Suddenly he picked up a boqk eag erly, blew off the dbst, atºd poked his nose between the yellow leaves.

Lost Rivers of idaho. One of the most singular features in the scenery of the Territory of Idaho is the occurrence of dark, rocky chasms, into which creeks and large streams suddenly disappear and are never more seen. The fissures of old lava channels produced by the outside of the mass cooling and forming a tube, which, when the fiery stream was exhausted, has been left empty, while the roof of the lava duct, hav ing at some point fallen in, presents there the opening into which the river plunges and is lost. At one place along the Snake river valley one of these rivers appears gushing from a cleft high up in basaltic walls, where i it leaps into a cataract into the tor t rent below. Where the stream has its origin or at what point it is swal I lowed up is absolutely unknown, al I though it is believed that its sources are a long way up in the north coun try. Besides becoming the channels of streams the lava conduits are fre quently found impacted with the ice masses which never entirely melt.

"Well, two dollars, then," the man from Alabama shouted back. "Make it five and I'll ask Miss Brad ford to repeat the solo," retorted Mr. Yatman. "Here's the money." said the south erner, handing the evangelist a bank note. Miss Bradford played the hymn again. When she had finished Mr. Yatman said: "Half of this money I will turn into the fund being raised for the marine carnival on Wesley lake and the other half I will give to Miss Bradford to spend for ice cream." The donor of the bill expressed his satisfaction and as soon as the meet ing adjourned the talented violinist gathered her chums about her and started for an ice cream parlor.

LION CUB AT A BANQUET Entertainment Given Newspaper Men at Cleveland Caged in with the lions-amid the roaring of lions, tigers and leopards, the whinneying of queer-striped ze bras, and the trumpeting of elephants a quarter of a hundred newspaper men were entertained at dinner at Bos tock's animal show last evening. Inside the big animal arena a long "U"-shaped table was set, and repre sentatives of every Cleveland news paper seated themselves about it and partook of the "Animal King's" good cheer. It was a lunch and not a din ner, and "roast grizzly bear" was the first dish which the daintily dressed waiter girls served. This, in turn. was followed by "boiled leg of lion" with "Bonivita salad." Just at this point one of the editors of the World was heard calli*ng "ere lmy,; pussy."

It Wouldn't Interfere. Congressman Bingham, chatting with some friends regarding the ef fectiveness of the civil service exam ination, confessed that some absurd but a Press man in a way dispelled the fearful anxiety by taking the beast into his lap. "Roast lion" on the plates ceased to be an attraction, and live lion in the lap suddenly be came the center of interest. The lion was but a cub, and was passed from lap to lap down the table, snarling and snapping at whoever attempted to pet him. The menu card read as follows: "Roast grizzly, a la Weedon; boiled leg de leo, Bonavita salad; Jaguar tongue, Morelli style; python goul osh; fried spring cock-ortwo; ping pong salad; cheese and crackers; nec tar de Java; 'asmoke up.'
