~.= r... .i A Lesson m SPANISH.
Chicago :‘llJ:‘-~flt “'ho Mastered one My!»
wry of mm “J.” -
One of liié- students of the Uniw-r-
sity of l‘:...*:‘..3:0 went to a resta-umi.
on J-fl.(.‘ii:k:.. street with two friends
‘3
' who had fought with the Firs: reg.
ment at Santiago. Naturally the}.
tnlkvd of :im war, and although the
stud-cut showed considerable knowl-
edge of the campaign, his pronunci-
ation of Spanish proper names was
bad. Invariaiily he gave the Spanish
“J” its English sound.
His companions who were better
posted on the Castilian tongue. stood
it as long as they could, and finally
one of them said: “See here, if you
want to talk war with us you must
pronounce those Spanish words as
they should be. Say ‘San Huan’ and
‘I\Iontel10,’~and remember that ‘Hunta'
is proper. Don’t give the words the
‘J’ sound. There is no ‘J.’ It‘s pro-
nounced ‘H’-—always.”
“Oh. is it,” returned the st-r'Vut.
with a sneer of sarcasm, for he was
getting angry. “Then I suppose you"
name is ‘Hohn,’ not ‘John,’ as it used
to be before you Went to Cuba; and
perhaps you want me to tell you that
this restaurant is on ‘Hackson street.’
The derisivc laugh that followed so
angered the student that he leaped tn
his feet.
“I want you to understand,” he
shouted, “that I am a ‘hentlemant
Hump onto me, you hackasses and I‘ll
show you this is no hoking matter.
By the humping Herusalem, you
haven’t any more sense than a hack-
rabbit. If you insinuate that I’m a
country hakc. I’ll break your haw. By
Himriny. I’m going.”
And the indignant student put on
his hat and stalked out—Chicago 1n-
te-r Ocean.
Brakemen as Amateur Ocnlisis.
The ease with which brakemen on
railroad train-s remove from passen-
gers’ eyes ’cinders which fly into them
every time the engine sends out a pull
of smoke is a cause for comment. On
a New York Central train running bas-
tween here and Niagara Falls is a
young man who is a genius as an 00-.»
list. and his services are in great (i -
mand. It is whispered amongr rhn
train 'hands that his income is voy
largely increased through his all! r
to operate on passengers so ai‘t‘ ic ml
and that gratitude after the rcmzn
of the disturbing cinder is not mess-
ured and his lurgesse is real and in
proportion to the pain borne by th:~
sufferer.
A young man who wore the uniform.
of the New York Central service wi l=
whom the writer talked recln‘ly
while on a train for Niagara i“:: -
Said that he was kept busy after 1“
train had crossed the Harlem Kids
in removing cinders.
"They accumulate in the tunnoi.‘
he said. “and I always wa k thro g"
the train after we leave the 138th
street station and relieve the suffe-
ers. By that time they have succeed
ed in rubbing the cinder into a b .-.i
corner and are ready for any kind of
treatment. When 1 first went to m l
roading I discovered that it would lo
a good thing to know s:mcthi 5.?
about removing cindcrs. so 1 went to
an oculist and took a course of 11's
sons. As a result I am able to re-
move the most stubborn one without
trouble or pain to the patient. Yes. I
have earned the amount i paid the
oculist for the lessons many times
over.”--—l\'ew York Herald.
Wise Forethought of an Elephant.
One winter, at St. Louis. two eh-
phants were stabled in an outhousz
near the writer’s rooms. One warm.
bright day early in the spring one of.
these creatures was brought out into
the alley behind the stable, in order
that it might ll-O given a bath. A
horse attached to a loaded coal cart
became frightened and ran at full
speed down the alley toward the ele—
phant. The latter heard the. nois and
saw the horse rushing toward him.
He seemed to take in the situation at
once; f0r.- dropping to his knees. he
drew in his trunk beneath his body.
drew in his legs, and bowed his head.
The horsa, in his mad rush. ra-n com-
pletely over the elephant, dragging
the heavy cart with him. Eeyond a
few slight scratches and bruises the
elephant was uninjured. Had it not
been for his wise foresight and his elli-
cient method of self—protection, he
might have been severely injured per
haps killed, by impact of the madden-
ed horse and heavy cart. In this in-
stance there was an undoubted 'mani
festialtion of correlative ideation. The
immediate adoption of the only cili-
cient means of avoiding injury clearly
demonstrates the truthfulness of this
assertion. especially so since tillerc
was nothing instinctive in the action
of the elephant. In a state of nature.
elephants are.- not confined in narrow
alleys, neither are they charged by
runaway horses. 4.

Story of Ben Butler.
An old friend of General Butler tells
a new story of the soldier lawyer. Ac-
cording to it, toward the close of his
career, when he ranked well toward
the top of the bar for criminal cases.
Butler was sent for by a prisoner
charged with murder. Upon his arri-
val in the cell of the accused man,
a distressing scene was enacted. The
prisoner at once became hysterical and
implored the lawyer’s assistance.
“General," he cried, “I want you to
llefend me. You must defend me. I’m
in danger of.being hanged, andlknow
you can get me ofl.’ if anybody can.”
"Are you guilty ovate you innocent?"
calmly inquired the, general. “Oh, I
am innocent. entirely innocent,” pro-
tected the prisoner with, tears. “Then
you don‘t need me,” quietly responded
iGeneral Butler, rising and reaching
for his hat. “Innocent men are not
hangod‘in Magneto-um. Good day.

A WISE DOG.
Knows the Time of Day and Hustle. for
His Meals Systematicully.
Jack of Cummings’s mill isdescrihed
as a remarkable dog. Cummings’s mill
is in Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, and
Jack was born thereywhile the saws
were buzzing and the big wheels were
revolving. He is half mastifl, half
water spaniel, and is a very handsome
animal. His extraordinary intelli-
gence is displayed in many ways, but
its greatest development is manifested
in the procuring of three square meals
,per diem for Jack, except on Sunday,
when he is content with two. As Jack
is only fourteen months old great
things are expected of him in future.
He is of no expense whatever to Mr.
Cummings, the mill owner. He hus-
tles for himself and does it systemat-
ically and successfully. The moment
the mill engine begins to whistle at 7
o’clock in the morning Jack gets up.
gives himself a shake, emits one short
yelp and trots OR to the house of Mrs.
Moss, who lives three or four doors
from the mill. Arrived there, he seats
himself and gazes earnestly at the
gate as if expecting a coming event.
He is seldom disappointed, for usually
in less than “a minute Mrs. Moss
emerges from the rear of the house
with a basket of bones, which are
soon. cracking between Jack’s splendid
white teeth. If by chance the good
woman delays more than two minutes
precisely Jack throws his muzzle to-
ward the sky and bowls.
At noon the whistle sounds once
more and this time Jack hies him to
the house of Mr. Burger, a Grand
Army man, but he does not stop out-
side the gate. He enters and scratches
at the back door until duly served with
his noon-tide meal. At six o’clock he
sallies forth for the third time and de-
scends to the cellar of Mrs. Norton’s
house, three blocks away, where he
finds a plate of good things prepared
for him. More than once a predatory
cat has forestalled Jack and cleaned
the plate. 011 such occasions the dog
will give two yelps.
And now comes the most extraordi-
nary phase of Jack’s intellectual char-
acter. The mill Whistle does not blow
on Sunday, and yet at just 7, as usual,
he is in front of Mrs. Moss’s gate with
the usual expectancy in his eye. Only
on Sunday, so it is solemnly declared.
he never yelps.
And, again, as it is the war veter-
an’s custom to take only two meals on
Sunday, breakfast and a 6 o’clock diu-
ner, Jack never gives him a. call on
that day, but is on time at Mrs. Nor—
ton’s at 5 o’clock, when she partakcs
of her Sunday evening meal, her week
day dinner being at 6 p. m.
Now, as Jack does not carry a watch
the question naturally arises. how
does he know the time, even to the
‘minute? Of course he is aware it is
Sunday, seeing that the whistle doesn’t
blow, also that on the Sabbath Mr.
Burger has no meal at noon while Mrs.
Norton’s dinner is at 5 instead of 6
o’clock, but how does he know that it
is 5 o’clock?
THIEF AS THIEF CATCHER.
Offers to Keep Crooks Away in Return {0)
Leniency to His Wife.
Insurance of a distinctly novel char-
acter was suggested to State street
merchants yesterday. Immum‘ty from
thieves who operate in crowded stores
was offered to Charles A. Stevens 8.-
Bros., in return for leniency to a
young woman who was accused of shop-
lifting. '
“Be merciful to the girl I love,” dra-
matically pleaded George Smith to the
manager, “and I will guarantee that
the crooks of Chicago will give your
store a wide berth for one week."
Smith followed this startling pro-
posal with the explanation that he -
was a notorious pickpocket, was ac-
quainted with every man in the “pro-
fession” in Chicago, and volunteered
to stand guard at the store entrance
for one week during the holiday “har-
vest” and to intercept every sneak
thief or “store worker” who sought ad-
mission. if intercession was made in
his wife’s behalf. .
Smith spoke freely of his criminal
life to the State street storekcepers, as
be appealed for clemency for his wife.
He said:
“It’s her first offence, and you can
save an innocent girl. I am the recog—
nized head of a gang of thieves oper—
ating in all the big cities of the coun-
try. Thc life is distasteful to me. but
I have tried in vain time and again to
get a foothold in a respectable posi-
tion. My past record pursues me, and
I cannot make a satisfactory showing
to prospective employers. The other
night I attended Booth-Tucker’s meet-
ing and his talk on criminal coloniza-
tion moved me to tears and strength-
ened my determination to devote my-
self to an honest life. It’s hard to g-st
a start. .
“My first offence in crime was as a
Chicago ncwsboy. I lost my week's
savings in a game of ‘craps.’ The boy
who won them slept next to me in an
alley that night. and I could not resist
the temptation to rob him. . I went
from bad to worse, till I had become a
recognized pickpocket expert and a fa-
miliar police—court character.”——Chica-
go Record. ~

The Military Cloak.
New traveling ’wraps for lengthy A
Journeys are military cloaks, quite as
long as an ulster, to be' worn with or
without a cape. The fronts are semi-
loose,_and the backs fitted and some—
times belted. Many of these wraps
are made of army-blue cloth, and the
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
gilt buttons. . The deep cape is fast—
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the cloth and is alone a suffi-
cient wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and others of dark
color andfiner grain, said to be abso-
lutely waterproof, are made in reclin-
gote style, much after the fashion of
coachmen's coats, with and without
shoulder-capes, and will be used for
traveling and morning walks.
AT TIMES IT IS WORSE.
Anyone who is obliged to take cod liver oil
will find certain days when it is impossible to
swallow the greasy, vile-tasting mixture. Es-
pecially in warm weather, or on a. mild day,
does cod liver oil become doubly obnoxious.
Because Vinol contains none of the unneceso
sary grease or’fat, but does contain the active
curative principles of the cod’s liver, it is
bound to revolutionize the science of medicine.
Mr. Harris Chadwell, a. chemist of Ames-
bury, Mass, writes in this connection:
“Vinol is of particular advantage in warm
weather, or on mild days, when sufferers of
wasting diseases particularly need their medi-
cine. At such times our heretofore best known
remedy for such diseases, cod liver oil, had to
be abandoned. Now no interruptions is ex-
perienced, for with Vinol, without the grease,
a patient can take his medicine in all weather,
and thus doubly insure himself of a cure."
We have found that many people with tend.
dencies to wasting diseases took Vinol all last
summer. The consequences is that they im-
proved in a manner that would not have been
possible with cod liver oil in its old form.
Yours very truly,
Special Vinol representauve.
