The young man who was trying to make the St. Joe boat was about two minutes late as he tore along Uiver street. lie could see the steamer hands casting off the ropes as he drew nearer, and. bumping amazed citizens out of his way. he rushed for the dock. The gangplank had been hauled in. and the nose of the steamer had swung six feet out into the river when he finally reached the water's edge. But that did not deter hira. He was going to spend Sunday in Michigan or know why. With a giant swing he tossed his va lise aboard and then jumped for the steamer. lie caught a rope and a post and held fast. Every officer on the boat expected to see him drop into the river, and bells jangled noisily as the captain peered over the side. When he saw the intrepid passenger was safe, the captain was twice as mad as if he had dropped into the water. Shaking bit fist at. him angrily, he yelled: "Here, you, by jiminy crickets, don't you ever do that again!" The passenger had hauled himself aboard by this time and. turning a l®ok of scorn at the captain, said: "What do you think I'm going to do —jump back and try it over?"—Chica go Chronicle. iMmniornr.K* Vol \w, The Australian aborigines are not the oui.v users of the boomerang, nor were hey the first to use that missile.

Shortly after the opening of one of the Mexican roads, never niiud which, a locomotive engi neer got married to a native belle in the town at the lower end of his run and set up housekeeping. Among oth er things they needed was a cooking stove. He could get exactly what they wanted on the American side, but the duty on hardware of that kind was ex tremely high, and he racked his brains »o think of .some way to slip it down to his home without paying the exorbi tant tariff. "A cooking stove is about as easy to smuggle as a baby elephant, but at last lie struck a brilliant scheme, and on his next trip he simply lashed the thing to the pilot of his engine. It looked as much out of place as a piauo ou top of a hearse, but the yardmen were conveniently blind, and he pulled out in triumph. When he stopped at the customs office, the Mexican offi cials stared at the stove in amazement, but they concluded at once that it was some new Yankee device in connection with the locomotive and asked no ques tions for fear of betraying their igno rance of up to date machinery. The consequence was that the eugineer got his stove without paying a cent of duty."—New Orleans Times-Democrat, Hnpctions aurt Aniners, A school inspector well known for his weight was trying to extract the word "flesh" from a class. Ilis efforts had failed, but. taking hold of his fat cheek between his thumb and forefin ger. he pulled it out and asked: "What's this?" The unhesitating answer came promptly, "Pork, sir." The same inspector was once giving an object lessen on an umbrella. To il lustrate his subject he took his own silk umbrella, which happened fee have a small hole in it. "What is this. bf»ys?" "An umbrella, sir." "And what is this?" "The stick, sir." "And these?" "The ribs, sir." "With what is it covered?" Si. .-nee. "Surely you know. What kiwi of an umbrella would you call it?"

One day a naturalist lay motionlw? on a fallen log in the forest and sileut ly watched an animal at play In the grass near by. This was a large, brown backed mouse, a meadow mouse, that had come out from his home under the log and when tired of play had sat up to make his toilet. Using his forepaws as hands, the mouse combed the white fur on his breast atul licked himself smooth and sleek. Satisfied at length with his up pea ranee he began to search for food. He did not have far to go. for a few Htalks of wheat grew among the thick weeds uear at hand. The mouse w.is so large that he could probably have bent the stalk down and brought Hie grain within reach. If not. he couhi certainly have climbed the stalk. lie did not try either of these plans, how ever. for th^se were uot his ways. Sitting up very straight, he bit through the stall as high up as he could reach The we 's were so thick that i! e straw could not fall its full length. :id the freshly cut end settled down upon the ground, with the straw still eivct and the grain out of reach. The mouse again bit the straw in two. and again the upper portion settled down. In this way he bit off five lengths of straw before he could britr* the grain within reach of his paws. T.n-se fore paws were very skillful little hands, and lie deftly husked a graili and ate it, sitting erect and holding it to his mouth as naturally as a boy would hold an apple.—Our Animal I'liend.s. What is it? A man who has been running a race with steam and electricity for years, finds himself suddenly stopped. It seems as if a cold hand clutched his heart. His brain whirls he can hardly see. "What is it?'1 he asks himself as the attack passes. If his question meets a right an swer, he'll be told that his seizure is a warning to pay more attention to his stomach, which is already deranged by irregular meals and rich foods. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and or gans of digestion and nutrition. It eliminates from the blood disease breeding poisons. It makes the blood rich and pure, and furnishes a found ation for sound, physical health. "About ten years •go I began to have trouble with my stomach," writes Mr. Wm. Connolly, of 535 Walnut Street, Lorain, Ohio. 11 It got so bad that I had to lay off quite often—two and three days in a week. 1 have been treated by the best doctors in this city, but not no help. Dome said I had cancer of the stomach, others catairh, others dyspepsia. Then I wrote to a^v,c:e' *ou advised the use of your Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pel lets.' These medicines I have taken as directed. I commenced to get better from the start, and have not lost a day this summer on account of my stomach.
