Raising the Wind.

We are familiar with Fleischmann’s horses and yeast Concerning the latter there is a tale. On the way home one afternoon from flbeepshead Ba/ a party of “sports” poked fun at one of their kind for having lost heavily on a Fleischmann tip on a Fleischmann horse. “But anyone would have done the same,” he retorted. “I asked Shullus if he was going to win, and he said he would if he could raise the price, but he didn’t like even money. He took out of his hip pocket something that looked like chewing gum, broke cff a piece, gave It to me and said: ‘Ge down in the ring and see If you' can raise the price.’ I said: ‘With whatr He said: ‘With what I’ve given you.’ I asked what It was, and he said: ‘Yeast; It raises everything.’ I s4ld: ‘Will it raise SSOO if I lose?* He said: ’No man who wears it ever lost ja dollar on horse of mine.* I was obliged to bet after that, but Bhulius has not refunded the monev.”

The Hero of Matching.

Of the hero of Mafeking’s school days. Dr. Haig Brown, the former head master of Charterhouse, has been telling a correspondent “I notice that the name is invariably mispronounced,” said the doctor. "The ‘a’ In Baden is generally given the sound ‘ah,’ but It should have the usual sound of ‘a’ as In ‘bathing towel.” which was his nickname among the boys at schooL He was full of fun and amusement, and exceedingly popular with his schoolfellows. An extremely cjever boy In every sort of way, his accomplishments were numerous. He was fond of athletics of all kinds, and hi all be undertook showed faculty of resource, coupled with a keen sense of humor.” Colonel Baden-Pow-eH, two. days before he left England for South Africa, paid a visit to Dr. Haig Brown, and characteristically remarked: “I hope they will give me a warm corner.” He has it at Mafeking.

Fouad Child After Sixteen Years.

After having searched constantly for eight years, Andrew Webber found in Maryville, Mo.,' his daughter, from whom he had been separated sixteen years. Andrew Webber and his wife were a Hungarian couple who came to the United States in 1883 and located In St Louis. Eighteen years ago the wife died, leaving the father with a 4-year-old daughter. Father and daughter separated, and two years ago she was married at Jackson to Will Knoth of Maryville. In February, 1899, the father learned of his child’s whereabouts. Without making any reply, he started out on a twowheeled wagon for Maryville. In his search Webber drove over 6,000 miles and wrote hundreds of letters. He said that when his wife died she left some property In Hungary, which was to go to her daughter when the latter became 20 years old. He is not certain what it is worth, but thinks not less than SIO,OOO.

She Inherits Her Talents.

With the possible exception of Carmen Sylva, queen of Roumania, the most accomplished of European queens is the charming Queen Amelie, who inherits her literary talents from her father, the late Comte de Paris, author of a history of the American civil war and a history of the English labor party (besides many other works dealing with political and social questions of the day), has taken her degree of M. D. and is now the chief physician of her husband and children. The queen was married at Lisbon thirteen, years ago to the then crown prince, Duke of Braeanza, now King Carlos L

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The smaller the man the greater his vanity. Sensible men are always deaf to unjust criticism. Great enterprises often result from small beginnings. If a man has no temptations It’s easy to remain honest. The older a man gets the less sense he has about eating. One way to Judge a man’s charactei Is by what he doesn’t say. Sometimes a woman makes a fool of a man—and he never gets over It. The obese lady in the museum believes In making the most of herself. Don’t cry over split milk; hustle around and get some more milk tickets. When a society girl marries she 1m aglnes the world is eclipsed by her honeymoon. A poor man never knows bow many friends he has until he suddenly strikes it rich. The chief end of man depends on whether he Is wanted to do brain work or run errands. A physician says raw oysters are unhealthy. Perhaps they are, but no one ever heard of a raw oyster's sending for a doctor. The average farm hand would doubtless make a good corporation president. His experience in watering stock would come in handy. There la one good thing about the man with trouble on his mind. He never breaks Into your office humming selections from a ragtime opera.

A Diagnosis.

“Sometimes you feel as if you could hardly get out of your chair, don’t you?” the doctor asked after he bad looked at the patient’s tongue. “Yes,” was the weary answer, “that feeling comes to me nearly every time I sit down.” “And sometimes you feel chilly and then again you are almost roasted?” “Yes,” “And in the morning It seems as if you could hardly get out of bed?” “Yes.” “Sometimes you are hungry and then again you don’t feel as if you could look at anything to eat?” “Doctor, you have described my symptoms exactly.” • Frequently you become so discouraged that life seems a burden, don’t you?” “Oh, yes. Every little while I get to feeling that way.” “And you feql tired all the time?” “That’s just it. What do you think Is the matter with me?" “The trouble with you,” the doctor said. “Is that there s nobody around to put a tack In your chair when you alt down. Three dollars, please.”
