tumorous gfpartmrnt. A Slight Misunderstanding. A lawyer prominent in legal circles in Baltimore recently moved into a beautiful home in the suburbs of that city. At first the lawyer was much pleased with his purchase, but in a little while so many agents of various sorts had called upon him that he became strongly tempted to move back to town. To a friend in whom he confided he stated that during one afternoon not fewer than nine agents had called upon him to dispose of )ne thing or another. The tenth visitor was a tall, sad eyed man, who, after the customary exchange of greetings, started in as if to deliver a lengthy harangue. The lawyer, goaded to the point of desperation, interrupted his caller: "My dear sir, really you are wasting your time trying to sell any window screens at this house. We are, as you see, quite well provided for in that respect . The week"? "But, sir, it"? "Nor do we wish to buy a lawn mower. We do not need any furniture polish. As for folding beds, we would not have one on the place, as I told"? "Really, my dear sir," indignantly interjected the sad eyed man, "this is most extraordinary"? "Of course, of course!" came from the harassed lawyer; "it always is most extraordinary! I never knew it to be otherwise! I suppose you'll offer it to us on easy payments. But you are frittering away your time, my good man; we do not need anything"? "Sir! sir!" protested the tall gentleman with the sad expression; "will you allow me one word? I am not an agent for anything!" "Pardon me, pardon me!" the lawyer gasped. "May I then ask who you are?" "I am the pastor of the Orthodox Brethren church, and I merely called on you in order to make your acquaintance, not knowing that you were running a private madhouse. And now, sir, I wish you good day." And the . lawyer states that it took him a whole week to fix things right with .the Dastor.?Exchange. A Joke on Mark Twain.?A friend of Mark Twain tells a story of the humorist which, it is thought, has not before appeared in print. One warm day in Hartford Mr. Clemens, on his way home from a long walk, felt somewhat fatigued. Suddenly he sat down upon a carriage block to rest for a bit, and began vigorously to fan himself with his hat. There chanced to be in his immediate neighborhood at the moment the author of "Innocents Abroad" seated himself, a street piano man, who soon struck up a lively tune. An elderly lady passing the two evidently jumped at the conclusion that the author was the assistant of the musician for she stopped and dropped a coin in the hat Mr. Twain had in his hand. Whereupon the humorist arose aua. bowing most politely, gave expression in stately phrase to his thanks. Then it began to dawn upon the lady that she had made a mistake. She stepped back, and an expression of uneasiness came to her countenance. "Don't be frightened, madam," observed Mr. Clemens. "It's true the man doesn't attach a chain to me; nevertheless, I'm quite well trained, quite, and, I assure you, entirely harmless!" Hard Luck Insurance.?Mr. John A. McCall tells of the case of an Insurance agent who prevailed upon an Irishman to take out an accident policy for his wife. Not long after the agent, while sitting in his office, deeply engaged, was startled nearly out of his senses by the dramatic entry of the Irishman in question, who proceeded to divest himself of his coat, with the evident purpose of administering corporal chastisement to the agent. "You scoundrel!" shouted the irate Celt, leaping at the agent. "Yo'? d cheat me, would you?" At this junction several clerks sprang forward and were, fortunately for the agent, able to hold the Irishman against the coming of reinforcements. All this while the man from Ireland struggled desperately to free himself from the clutches of the clerks at the same time yelling: "Lave me at him! Think of it! Chargin' a pore man $10 for an accident policy for his wife, an' she fallin' down the stairs an' breakln* a only ten days afterward! Refuting the Teacher.?Little Willie's teacher had been giving the chil aren uuny iai?s un uaiui ai uiswi y, day taking up some animal and telling all she knew about it. On the day in question she talked about rabbits. Willie had a rabbit of his own, and that afternoon when he got home he took it out of its hutch. Holding it by the ears at arm's length in front of him, and assuming the manner of the pedagogue, he questioned, sternly: "Seven times seven?" No response from the rabbit. "Six times six?" he demanded, shaking the rabbit roughly. Still no response. "Now. I'll give you an easy one. Five times five?" And still the rabbit stared without response. Willie threw him down in disgust. "I knew that old teacher was lying," said he. "She said rabbits was the greatest multipliers in the world."?Indianapolis News. ? His Wedding Present.?Congressman Perkins was in the office a friend, a justice of the peace, when a couple came in to be married, says the Christian Register. After the ceremony the justice accepted a modest fee and handed the bride an umbrel la as she went out. Mr. Perkins looked gravely and asked: "Do you always do that, Charles?" "Do what? Marry them? Oh, yes." "No, I mean bestow a present on the bride." "A present? Why, wasn't that her umbrella?" gasped the justice. "No, it was mine," replied the congressman, sadly. gUisrrllantouis grading. ; < IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. ( < News and Comment Clipped From ^ Neighboring Exchanges. CHEROKEE.

A Good Scheme.?Reginald Vanderjilt, admirably dressed, sat in his box it the Pittsburg theater, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. "He is no fool," an elderly Philadelphian said of the young man. "Had le not been born rich he would have nade a great success in life. I'll tell .'ou of an incident that exemplifies the eadiness and alertness of his mind. xie was traveling vine ua.v uum i>c? fork to Boston. The weather was ivarm, and now ana then he would ?ut his head out of the window to see he landscape better. Thus, all of a sudden his hat blew off. "Quick as a flash young Vanderbilt -eached for his hat box and tossed it )ut of the window after his hat. A shout of laughter arose. " 'What on earth did you do that for?' iverybody said. 'You don't expect your tat box to bring your hat back, do ;ou ?' " 'I do,' replied the young man. There's no name in the hat. But my 'u 1 name and address are on the box. rhey'll be found together and both vill be forwarded to me promptly.'" HOW HE FOUND HIS WAY OUT. A Prospector'* Experience of Desert Travel. "The craze to find a metal Is a funny thing," said the old prospector, "I always had it, and once, In British Columbia, away* north, It gave me a , close call. I was alone when I got as far as the last settlement. There were fou^ Indians and a fur trader there. They all advised me not to go on into the barrens, but like a good many others, I thought I was wiser than the natives, and I only meant to go a few miles. There was nothing to do but foot it, and carry your pro- ^ visions and blankets on your back. "The country was as flat as a floor and bald and smooth as my head, with no landmarks. The only way I ? could get direction was by the sun and ] stars. When I had been out for about 1 two days my provisions were nearly 1 gone. I was going to turn back and 1 make a dash for the settlement. All ' day long a gray cloud had been moving } i up from the west very slowly. I did- ' i n't realize what it meant to be with- l out the sun to guide me. There was- ( n't even a blade of grass on that des- 1 ert, nor a living thing, nor a stone < ! sticking up. The clouds kept bending ' over more and more, and finally they closed down over me like a trap. ' "I shall never forget the lonesome- 1 ness of that place, and how, whenev- 1 er I stopped walking, I would strain 1 and' strain my ears without hearing 1 a thing but the thump of my own 1 heart. But I thought I was all right 1 and kept on until it was nearly night. < Then I saw something white a few yards off to one side. In one gasp < the breath went out of me. The ' white thing was a bit of cracker I had 1 i dropped when I had eaten my lunch! i "I sat down and tried to think. I 1 knew it was no use to walk that way * any further. I began to think my < bones would whiten out there on the < barrens, but finally I went to sleep. I In the morning I was crazy with hun- < erer. I ate my last piece of hardtack, 1 and nearly all day I walked aimlessly, ! hoping to find some landmark. There .? was no sleep In me that night. When- ' ever I shut my eyes I could see noth- i ing but a great flat plain with a line across It?the stralghtest line you ever < * saw. i "Well, it was that crazy notion that 1 saved my life. It suddenly occurt-ed to f me that I could draw a line across this i desert. When it was getting light in l the morning there were a few min- t utes when I could see which side of < the circle was east by the glimmer 1 | through the clouds. So I worked with i my sheath knife till I had built up a I little pile of earth, and waited for the 1 day to come. The moment I saw the ( glimmer and had the direction I ran toward the south a hundred yards or so and built another pile. Then I ran a hundred yards more, sighting back across the two piles, and built a third. They were only little piles of dirt, but they looked like towers on the desert. "All that day I built piles of earth southward until I lost count, and the next day when I saw the glimmer of the morning I knew I had struck the right direction. Toward night I struck a dog's track, and finally I sighted a clump of trees and a group of cabins. I fired my revolver several times, until I saw two men on horseback coming out to me; then I swung down on my knees and fell over, flat on my face.

Wonderful Story Told by an Officer of a Steamship. After narrowly escaping being sent to the bottom of the Gulf of Pechill by a floating Russian mine, and with the sacred cat of King Chulalongkorn of Siam, for the return of which a reward of $1,000 is outstanding, on board, the New York and Oriental Steamship Company's liner Satsuma reached this port yesterday. Chief Officer Hodges, the guardian of "Siamese Jane," says there would be high doings in the Siamese King's Court if ' it were known that his precious pet has brought into the world Ave more j sacred cats, all of which are enjoying y perfect health and may be seen any ] day gamboling on the deck of the Sat- ] suma. : "It was just this way," said the chief ] officer, "and I don't want you to doubt 1 for a moment anything I am about j to tell you, for the whole story is as i true as the stars, and the records are i on file in Siam to prove it. We left 1 Hongkong on July 11, and arrived at Singapore on the 25th. We did not 1 dock at Singapore, but anchored in the harbor and received our cargo from ' lighters and junks. We noticed at the time that a lot of Government ves- , sels were about, closely scrutinizing all j the craft in the harbor, especially such 1 small vessels and Junks as came { down the river from Bangkok. We of j course were interested in these strange I proceedings, and inquired what it was I all about, and were surprised to learn . that King Chulalongkorn's cat wag i missing and that a big reward was of- J fered for her return and the capture aK/ftmtA,a "The Satsuma was simply overrun with rats at that time, and we were on the lookout for a good cat, and did not care a whit whether she belonged to the sacred or everyday tramp species, j It was a little before sundown, and we j were getting ready to sail, when a I junk came alongside and a Chinaman I asked us if we wanted a fine cat. We ^ replied that we did, and asked him j what he wanted for it. He said fifty cents, and when we agreed to the t terms he climbed on board with her. At a glance I saw that it was no or- T dinary cat, and asked the Chinaman where he got her. Then he took me I aside and asked me for the sake of all J the Chinese deities to keep quiet. "It was the King of Slam's cat," he j whispered, and it was because the I agents of His Majesty were putting * up such a relentless chase that he decided to dispose of her. ^ "About that time a Government craft |; came alongside and asked us where we f1 were going. I replied New York, and added that we just arrived from Hong- ^ kong. That convinced the sleuth who ^ was looking for the cat that we did J lot have her on board, elnce It would lave been Impossible for us to get ler at Hongkong, as that port was sleven days out of Singapore, and the :at had been missing less than a week. M fou want to know why I did not tell Clng Chulalongkorn's men that we had he animal? Well, It was for the very food reason that If we did the whole mnch of us would have been jailed, md It would have taken the British Consul General a week at least to ret us out."?New York Times. ANCIENT IRISH FORTS. ^ rhey Are Remnants of the Age of Cy- tl clopean Masonry. Off the coast of Ireland, north, west 01 ind south, lies island behind island. Y j'ew know them, and still fewer realize 6 he wealth of antiquarian remains a vhich have lain hidden there for more p ;han a thousand years. First in in- P :erest, as in age, come the defensive tj vorks of uncertain date, beginning in :he fourth century B. C. Of these the promotory forts are the simplest in :onstruction, being defended, often on :hree sides, by the high cliffs toward T :he sea, necessitating only a single ine of defense on the landward side. They belong to an age of cyclopean nasonry, when the stones were piled a :ogether, one above the other, mortar- tl ess, but with a power of resistance ^ vhich yields only to the hand of man. Some of the forts are constructed in :he well known "ring wall" type to be !ound throughout the British isles, :entral Europe and In Mashonaland. T At Fahan, near Bentry, the fort was ^ >bviously residential instead of being nerely used, as in many cases, for a place of short retreat during the hasty aids of Danish or earlier invaders. Here a "souterram" is to be found and i careful system of defense, for the memy, entering through the contract- C ?d passage, if he escaped the first at- ^ :ack, found himself suddenly confront- y :d by a wall and, the only exit being a G rapdoor, was easily killed by the | spearman above. It Is rare to find a q spring of water within the fort. E There was, however, usually a spring C some 200 or 300 yards away. ^ Situated for the most part on cliffs ? >r on great hillsides overlooking the E sea, these coast forts command a * magnificent view. Round them the sea birds circle, calling. The huge vaves of the Atlantic sweep up, beat- j ng against them in vain, and afar off J :he lines of a mountainous coast stand L >ut blue In the softened atmosphere, ^ running down sheer into the sea, with j !he long line of white gray smoke tell- C Ing of the burning kelp along their F Dase. q ?
