HAD INFORMATION TO I
And It was Decidedly of Ir. o e;: 1;
. the Detective.
"We can learn from all men, even
from the humblest," said II. K. AU..I;',
detective, at a police banquet In Du
luth. "Turn a deaf ear to no man.
The lowliest tramp may have Informa
tion of Incredible Interest for you.
"I well remember," continued the
detective, smiling, "a walk I once took
down Market street. As I strode along,
proud and happy, a rose In my but
tonhole and a gold-headed cane In my
hand, a drunken man had the impu
dence to stop me.
"'Ain't you Mr. Adair?' he said.
" 'Yes,' said I, 'what of it?'
"'Mr. Adair, the detective?' he
hiccoughed.
" 'Yes, yes. Who are you?' I asked
impatiently.
" 'Mr. Adair,' said the untidy wretch,
as he laid his hand on my shoulder to
keep himself from falling. 'I'll tell
you who I am, Mr. Adair. I'm hie
the husband of your washerwoman.'
".'Well, what of that?' said I.
"My scorn brought a sneer to the
man's Hps, and he paid:
" 'You see, you don't know every
thing, Mr. Adair.'
" 'Well, Mr. Adair,' said he, 'you
don't know thai hie I'm wearin' one
of your new white shirts.' "
RCSHBIRY'S PRESENT TO CITY.
Ancient House Gift of English States
man to Edinburgh,
The earl of Rosebery, who is a de
scendant of the Viscountess Primrose,
has prevented to the city of Edinburgh
the ancient, historic and quaintly built
I.ady Stair's house, to be ussd for a
municipal museum. When Lady Prim
rosa became a widow, Lord Stair
forced her to u'arry him by the same
bold strategy that made him a field
marshal. Slipping into her house, he
showed himself in deshabille at b,er
bedroom windows. All Edinburgh rang
with the scandal, and to end it Lady
Primrose became the Countess of
Stair. The house, is situated in the
Lawnmarket, once very fashionable,
but now corresponding to our east
Broadway. It has been completely re
stored by Lord Rosebery, and Us curi
ous inner stairway and oddly shaped
rcoms are intact. San Francisco Argonaut.
On his death bed he bussed his menus
not to arrange a funeral for him, as he
had left his body by will to the Paris
School of Medicine.
The Organ Grinder.
I love all kinds of music except the
tom-tom of Carbadc3 and the ragtime
In minor of the Chinese. An up-to-date
hand-organ in front of my door,
If the crank Is turned wtth discretion,
always gets a few cents out of my
pocket by way of encouragement. . I
am not like Mascagni, who, upon hear
ing a fellow In the street murdering
"Cavalleria Rusticana," rushed down
in Italian frenzy, cursed him out In
pure Milanese, and, grasping the
handle, proceeded to Bhow Pletro,.hIs
namesake, how to grind out his grand
composition with a Campanlnl Inter
pretation. Next day the same organ
was In front of his door, bearing a big
placard "Pupil of MaScagni." New
York Press.
., Utilizing Water Courses.
Application for permission to ac
quire the Tyin and Matre water
course in Western Norway for the
development of 60,000 to 70,000 horse
power has recently been made by a
O'jrman company. The power will be
employed for the production of chemi
cals, for the reduction of iron ore and
for other liU.i tries. At the expira
tion of 75 years both plants will re

His Dog a Bread Winner.
Louis Klein of Madison may have a
beagle dog that is a Ra.T.es, but Fred
Price's canine friend is a bread winner
of distinct class, according to the In
dianapolis Star. His dog went home
the other day with a pocketbook full
of money.
This knowing animal followed a
good woman of the city into a grocery,
and when she laid her purse on the
counter a ruoir.ent Price's water
spaniel seized it and was off for bis
mr.s'.er.
"See what I have brought you," he
seemed to say as he washed his tail
and looked up for appreciation in his
effort. And he wondered sorrowfully
why his master was so anxious to re
turn the prize instead of burying it
out In the back yard along with the
choice bones
Mr. Price thinks the next thing will
be his spaniel dog coming home with
a child It has seized for ransom.
Anticipating Misfortune.
Not only do we suITer much in the
anticipation of evil, as "Noah lived
many years under the affliction of a
flood, and Jerusalem was uken unto
Jeremy before it was besieged," but
we often distress ourselves greatly In
the apprehension of misfortunes
which', alter all, never happen at all.
We should do our best and wait calm
ly the result. We often hear of peo
ple breaking down from overwork, but
In nine cases out of ten they are real
ly suffering from worry and anxiety.
Sir John Lubbock.
Where Heroes Come From.
In the main It see.ns as If the hero
type were more often found In the
wilder places than among factories
j nitu ujumv; iiajio, auu juui luiiicuiii
fellow of the primal order Is quite apt
j to have in his roush make-up ways
something very healthy and enviable
j that has long withered In the smoke
j and flare of policed and asphalted
i towns.
A Parisian Character.
The revolutionary Libertad has
died In a Paris hospital from a kick
which he had received during a stormy
meeting recently. Libertad was one
of the most curious figures in contem
porary Paris. He wore no hat, but
long tangled hair and a long beard.
Over his scarlet shirt he wore a black
blouse, and he was never seen without
a crutch and an enormous cane. His
language was terrific and he rarely at
tended any public meeting without
calling for blood. The man was a
complete mystery. His most intimate
disciples knew nothing of his history.
Russian Moth Traps.
The trees of central Europe are
protected from the ravages of the Rus
sian moth by new moth traps. Two
large and powerful reflectors are
placed over a deep receptacle and a
powerful exhaust fan. The beams of
light are thrown on the distant moun
tain sides, and it is said that three
tons of moths were caught the first
night.
Natural Vagrants, All of Us,
There has never been a time when
men did not wander from a desire for
change, a desire to flee from the mo
notony of mere existence. There is
a fever in the blood which drives
men to wander, affecting rich and poor
alike, and this is a factor which no
legislation can ever entirely eliminate
In dealing with the true vagrant class.
How He Does It.
Notice the man of whom it Is gen
erally said: "He Is successful; "he is
getting along." Notice that he attends
to his work; he is polite; he doesn't
drink; he Is honest, and pays his
debt's. No man ever succeeded with
out these qualities. Atchison (Kan.)
