Mr. George Barr McCutcheon has been fortunate enough to have adventures even in so prosaic a spot as the Union Depot, Chicago. Mr. McCutcheon has been in the habit of coming to Chicago once a fortnight, and the station hands have come to recognize him without knowing his name. The boy who attends the news-stand is especially eager to sell him books, and several times he tried to dispose of a copy of "Graustark." his own novel. Mr. McCutcheon put him aside with the solemn assurance that he had already read the book and did not care to have another copy. But one day, being in a particularly kindly mood on his way from Chicago to Lafayette, he decided to help the enterprising news agent. When the boy handed him the usual copy of "Graustark." therefore, be took out Iiis fountain pen and inscribed in front of the title page his name and best wishes for him who should buy the book. He presented It to the boy, with the remark that iKThaps the copy was now more valuable than before. But the boy blazed out to the complacent author as only a city gamin can and asked, sarcastieally, if he would not Inscribe the author's name for Hall Caine and Marie Corelli. Ho insisted that the book was ruined and that McCutcheon must buy it. A? a crowd was rapidly gathering and he did not care to establish hi? identity the crest-fallen celebrity paid the $1.50 without a murmur. April. Henry Ward Bcccher, in "Star Papers." April! The singing month. Many voices of many birds call for resurrection over the grave? of flowers, and they come forth. Go, s?e what they have lost. What have ice. and snow, and storm done unto them? How did they fall into the earth, stripped and bare? How do they come forth opening -and Rloritiod? Is it. then, so fearful a thing to lie in the grave? In its wild career, shaking and scourged of storms through its orbit, the earth has stuttered away no treasures. The Hand that governs in April governed in January. You have not lo.-t what God has only hidden. You lose nothing in struggle, in trial, in bitter distress. If called to shed thy joys as trees their leaves; if the affections be drivei back into the heart, as the life of flowers to their root?, yet be patient. Thou shalt lift up thv eaf-covcred boughs again. Thou shalt hoot forth from thy roots new flowers. .ic patient. Wait. When it is February. '.pril is not far off. Secretly the plants love ach other.

HORNED PEOPLE. Many Are Fnnntl In Africa and ot n Few Elsewhere. Washington Times. Men and women endowed with hqrns are not by any means unknown in the world we live in to-day. A short time ago Surgeon Lamprey, of the British army medical staff, met with and studied three horned men in Africa, each having a horn on either side of his nose. "While serving on the Gold Coast." eaid he, "I had opportunities of making drawings of these people.. The first horned man I had an opportunity of observing was a Fantee named Cofea, aged about thirtytwo years, from the little village of AmaQuanta, in Waeau territory. "The second horned man was a longfaced youth, aged about eighteen, named Quassie Jabin, from the German territory, and not a kinsman of the first. From a statement made by him through a Fantee interpreter I gathered that this hornlike growth had been in existence as long as he could remember. "The third case was that of Cudjo Danso, aged about twenty. He stated through an interpreter that so far as he was aware this hornlike knob had grown of itself. It certainly had grown larger as be had grown older. It gave him no inconvenience. He could see and smell perfectly." Hundreds of cases more remarkable have recently been collected in an interesting report by Drs. George Gould and Walter Pyle. both well-known pathologists. "Human hörne," they say, "are far more frequent than ordinarily supposed. Nearly all the older writers cite examples. Many mention horns on the head. "In thfi ancient times horns were symbolical of wisdom and power. Michael Angelo In his famous sculpture of Moses has given the patriarch a pair of horns." There is a greater frequency of horns among women than among men, according to these authorities. The combinations of horns and tail on a human being would naturally gkve rise to extravagant superstition. There is a description of such a case in a recent medical report. The creature, said. t have been dubbed the "Hoodoo of Plato." was born eitht years ago in Minnesota. He was a boy five weeks old when described. He had hair two inches long all over his body; his features were fiendish, and his eyes shone like beads beneath his shaggy brows. He had a tail eighteen inches long, hoims from the skull, a full set of teeth and clawlike hands. He snapped like a dog, crawled on all fours and refused the natural sustenance of a normal child.

Confidence in the veracity of figures is very much impaired nowadays, and when we are told that "statistics prove." we read the statistics and reserve our judgment. But statistics indicate, if they do not prove, and often tbey amuse even "when they fail to convince'. The elass secretaries of the class eif 1S76 in Harvard and in Princeton lately Exchanged the reports which each had made up for the twenty-fifth anniversary of graduation. Comparison of these reports shows some interesting differences. The Princeton clas had 157 members, of whom 12:1 married and hael 370 children. The Harvard class had 2:: members, of whom VM married and have had .":3 children. That Is to say, 7S per cent, of the Princeton men married, and only 7 per cent, of the Harvard men. Harvard graduates rf twentyfive years ago seem to ha Co been le.-s readily domesticated than their Princeton coevals, or po.--s.ibIy they were less successful in niakiiiK a living, or ..-ss r-dy to settle flown on such a Jivimj as tiicy nid make.

He known a the "Grand Army pigeon." and got his name because be joined the tribe in the year when the Grand Army of the Repi'.uiie held its annual encampment in this city. There are some knowing ones who nay that the feathered tripple was brought here by one of the isiting men in blue, but this cannot be verified. However, h bosses the whole clan, and none of his "ellows has ever ventured to dispute his swaj; The pigeons lack for nothing ii the ating line. Almost all the officials in the custom house bring them something dajly, so tint their condition I always of the sleekest. It is worth a visit to the soot to see the one-legged Grand Army bird, especially at feeding time, when he insists fiercely on forcing bis fellows to wait until he has had his fill. II 1 Form.

"Don't you see." said the citizen, "the utter absurdity of what you aro rlolng? There- is no street lamp half 1 block away, we are not within the heavy shadow cast by the elevated railway, there is no lark ailey close at hand up which you can drag your helpless victim. I am not within a few steps of my home, there is no police station In the next block, and you are wearing no mask. Every feature of the conventional hold-up is lacking.

Copyright, 190z, by THE MODERN FABLE OF THE SUBORDINATE WHO SAW A GREAT SIGHT. Once there was an Employe who was getting the Nub End of the Deal. He kicked on the long Hours and the small Salary and helped organize a Clerks' Protective Association. He was for the Toiler as against the Main Squeeze. In order to keep him simmered down the Owners gave him an Interest. After that he began to perspire when he looked at the Pay Roll, and it did seem to him that a lot of big, lazy Lummixes were standing around the Shop doing the Soldier Act. He learned to snap his Fingers every time the Office Boy giggled. As for the faithful old Bookkeeper, who wanted an increase to S3 and a week's Vacation in the Summer, the best he got was a little Talk about Contentment being a Jewel. The Associate Partner played Simon Legree, all except the make-up. The saddest moment of the Day for him was when the UK PLAY KD SIMON LEcJRKK. whole Bunch knocked off at 6 o'clock in the Evening. It seemed a Shame to call 1) Hours a Full Day. As for the Satuiday Half-Holiday Movement, that was little better than Highway Robbery. Those who formerly slaved alongside of him in the Galleys had to address him as Mister, and he had them numbered the same as Convicts. One Day an Underling ventured to remind the Slave Driver that once he had ben the Friend of the Salaried Minion. "Right you are," said the Boss. "But when I plugged for the lowly Wage-Earner I never had been in the Directors' Office to see that beautiful Tableau entitled Virtue copping out the Annual Dividend.' 1 don't know that I can make the Situation clear tc you so I will merely remark that all those who get on our side of the Fence are enabled to catch a new Angle on this Salary Question." Moral: For Educational Purpose?, every Employe should be taken into the Firm. IHK MODERN FABLE OF THE UNFORTUNATE HAS-BEEN AND THE SYM PATH ETI C CON DIX'TOII. In an open-faced Car sat a glib Person pud a decrepit Old Gentleman with a hagpard ami sorrowful Frontispiece. The two dropped into Conversation and soon began opening up their Private Affairs according to the Western Fashion. The plib Patty told bow much h was drawing and how he invested It and all about several gigantic Schemes 'that he had under his Cuff. The Antique with the pall-bearing Face did not enthuse. "Young Man. you will learn that Life is a series of wasted Opportunities and vain TOO WLAK TO KICK IIIMSIILF. Regrets," he said. "When you are all in kivl a new Generation comes along and gives you a good swift Pump and you light on your Back over by the Fence, then you can lie there and Iok up at the Sky and eopnt the Good Things that got pa? you." With that the bioken-hearted Patriarch sprang a lonely Bundle of Hard-luck Tales, lie pointed out a Corner Bot now valued at a Half Million that had been offered to him for 3T0. Once he had geen given a Chance to trade a second-hand Bug?y for a half interest in a Patent that netted a couple of Thousand each Day. The Stock in the Street-railway Company he closed out at 7. Afterward it went to LT.",. "I used to own the Ground where the First National stands," he said, with Tears in his Eyes. "Bike a blithering Pinhead I traded it for a Team of Mules. If I hadn't been all kinds of a Ninny I could have got in on the Ground Floor of. the Standard Oil. And now I'm getting too old and weak to kick myself."

"How bitter must be his Reflections hrn he counts up what he might have nailed if he bad been Foxy." "Yes. I feel sorry for him." sai 1 the Humane Conductor, who was drawing J per Week. "All h? can Fhow is a measly TwoMillions. What breaks his Heart is th.it he doesn't own both sides of the Street and the Green Cars that run in between." Moral: The Kicker is the Man who gets Tart of it. THE MODERN FABLE OF THE SINGLE-HANDED FIGHT FOR PERSONAL LIBERTY. A Traveler landed in a Blue-Iiw Town one Sunday Morning and found it as dead as a Mackerel. Thtre were only two Horsea hitched at the Square, and in every Window the Curtains were down. "Why and wherefore this funereal Hush?" he inquired of the Hotel Clerk. "The Sunday-Closers have been at work." replied the Clerk. "You can't get a Nip to-day for Love or Money." "I can't, can't I?" demanded the Traveler, indignantly. "Do the Enemies of Personal Liberty think that they can deprive me of my Just Rights? Not on your Dreamy Eyes. Watch me." He cut for an Alley and began tryir-g every Pack Door. He would ran three times on a Bluff and say "It s me." but there was nothing doing. However, he was not to be thwarted. In the absence of the Blind Pig and the Speak Easy he fill batk on the Prescription Gr.g. Inquiring his way, he walked S Blocks to a Physician's Residence and raupht the Doc just as he was starting to Church. He gave Doc the K. T. Grip and begged him to save a Life. He said he had Cramps and nothing but a large S.Jg of the Scandinavian Joy Producer would relieve his Agcny. Doc -wrote, "Spirits Frumentl take as directed," and said it would come to One Dollar. Then the Sufferer went out to find a Drujf Clerk. After a long Search he found Mr. Higginson. of the People's Pharmacy, down at Main Street Bridge, pushing a Baby Carriage. At first the Drusgist balked on opening up. but th. Traveler said he was a Dying Man and handed over a good 10-cent Cigar. At 2 p. m. he went back to the Hotel, TRYING THH PACK D'JOH. wearing in his Piftol Pocket a Fla?k of Squirrel Whffky. the t olor of Kerosene. He was flushed and happy, for he had made a Monkey of the Eaw. He invited two other Drummers i:p to CJ. They pulled down th Curtains and tapped the Poison and nobody could talk for five Minute. Two Months later the same Traveler struck the Town one Sunday and found a Baseball Team giving a Parade. "Everything is wide open since the April Election." said the Clerk. "I can get you whatever you want." 'All rignt." was the Reply. "Send up a pitcher of lee Water." Moral: Thirst follows the Prohibition Clause. THEATIET Ol' I)IHMAI1I). Switzerland Hits F.rnhetl n Nrtr Way nf Dealing with Them. Chicago Journal. Perennially the question ronie up of what shall we. do with habitual drunkards and with those who bo oin criminals through drink?

The judpo can orlT him sent to a lrinkcure res rt without trhl or hearing. Ho merely has to se.-urc 'he approval of a reputable physician.
