D:ON’T KNOW STRATTON. fict After the Millionaire Had Identified
Himself He Got His Car. bably no town of its size has as many very rich men as Colorado Springs.
“They have millionaires to burn,’’ said a g otleman who recently visited there.
** ‘olorado Springs is the home of W. S. { ratton, the man who a few years ago was at work with a jackplane, earn- ing « scanty living, but who is now the possessor of anywhere from $15,000,000 to $20,000, 000,’’ said my friend. “Strat- ton does not have the appearance of a man borne down with a weighty pocket- buck. Much of the time he goes about in clothes a tramp might object to. When he had, in a couple of years, clezned up the paltry sum of $4,300,- 000-—or $2,000,000 a year—himself anc family thought they would likea vacztion. They concluded to make a trip to California.
**“he next day Stratton went to Den- wer ou business. His banker had notified him that he had made a mistake of §250,000 in his bank account. He had that much more in the bank than he thonzht he had. Upon investigation he discovered that he had sent the bank a check for that amount, just taken from the sale of his mine, which he had not noted. That matter cleared up, Mr. Stratton thought he would see about getting tickets for the California trip. As usual, he had on a rather shabby suit.
** ‘Have you got a bargain in ticketa to California?’ asked Stratton.
**The clerk looked him over carefully and concluded that a hobo had dropped in to get out of the sun.
** ‘Not today. We may have one to- morrow.’
‘**Well, you sell tickets to California, don't you?’
** ‘Certainly, but we have no job lot on hand at present.’
“ ‘How much is a ticket to San Fran- cisco?’
“The clerk told him.
** ‘Let me see. I shall have to take rloug several people—servants, you know. Guess you had better give me nine tickets.’
‘‘While the clerk was staring at him Str:.tton was struck with a new idea.
‘* - By the way, how much will a spe- tial car cost? I like to go as comfortably as } ssible when I travel. Yes, I guess I’l) ave a special car. How much will #93

“he clerk gave him one. fii) Said:

It was ‘ out and handed to the clerk, who
’t know that you are Mr. Stratton.’
‘“‘A\t that moment Banker Moffett passcd by. Stratton called out, ‘Come in bere, Moffett.’ He camein. ‘Am I Stratton?’ ‘You are.’ ‘I thought so, but this clerk had his doubts. Thank you.’ ”

"THE FOLDING BED.
Tt Is Still an Object of Suspicion to Many Hotel Visitors,
*‘'m_ sorry, sir,’’ said the polite young up town hotel clerk to the grum looking guest, ‘‘but I haven’t another room in the house tonight. If you could use this till morning, I'll fix you up right for tomorrow.’’ But the induce- ment persuasively delivered failed to work and the grum looking man went
away. When he had got over the threshold, the suave clerk smiled a sort of pensive smile and said: ‘‘ You can’t doanything with these f It beats the world how a man will let his prejadices drive him out into the night to seek inferior accommodations. And yet this man looked like he knew better too.’’ ‘“*‘What was it dissatisfied him?” ‘*Nothing in the world except that in the only room he’d have there was a folding ted. You see we are crowded now and there are but few vacant apart-
llows,
ments. He is a crank on the subject of folding beds because in modern times | two or three human beings have been caught in them when they folded up
inopportunely and had their lives crush- ed out. I pleaded with him that no such disaster could happen here, for nowadays folding beds are made with patent catches that absolutely prevent them from manslaughter. No matter how sorely a bed such as we have
J
should yearn to close upon its slumber- |
ing victim those catches forbid. I told him all this, but it bad no effect.”’
‘*Are most people imbued with this prejudice?’
‘Yes. I think a majority of the trav- eling public has that feeling, and I do not believe the time will ever come when the folding bed will gain the full confidence, much less the affection, of
the American people.’’—Washington Post. A Day With Verdi. On Verdi’s recent birthday—hts
tighty-third—the veteran composer was !
teen at 5 o'clock in the morning at the weekly market at Piacenzba with sev- eral sheep which he had brought to sell. He also wished to buy a cow and some vegetables, and so spent the entire day surrounded by farmers and tradesmen. At 6 o’clock in the evening he invited the whole assemblage into the inn and gave them a fine supper.

A New Horace,
The poem which Pope Leo XIII has given to the world will have a wider reading than his wisest encyclical, and this not altogether through curiosity as to the metrical utterances of the head of
| the Catholic church, but by reason of
ed from ladies commending the Diamond | Dyes, the following reasons are selected |
why Diamond should be used in prefer ence to all others :
“Diamond Dyes are so easy to use that my little girl of ten year can work with them perfectly.”
“]T have tried three other makes of Dyes but find Diamond Dyes so sure and true to color thatI will rot use other make.”
iVour Black, Cardinal, Green, Orange and B:own Diamond Dyes have been used in our home for many years. The colors are so bright, clear and lasting that I heartily commend them to all families.”
“Diamond Dyes forever! They are great economizers and savers of money. [| have

“JT am a maker of home made carpets,
Your dyes give lovely colors, and so

rugs and mais, and always use Diamond | Dyes for coloring my wool and cotton

the captivating sense of the verses them- selves. Indeed it may be said that the practical wisdom contained in these lines is as great as that of many formal ecclesiastical documents.

social and material lines, and now he | demonstrates his clear comprehension of | an important point of morality as con- |
cerned with individual conduct

moreover, literary merit which places it alongside of the classics. It has the sim-

AN INSECT CATCHER, - 4
A TIant Named Darlingtonia That Lures Insects to Destruction,
California has a trumpet leaf more re- |
markable than those that grow in the east. It is the darlingtonia, named for Dr. Darlington, a famous botanist who lived near Philadelphia many years ago. In the mountains where it grows the peo- ple call it calf’s head from the shape of the pitchers. These are sometimes three feet tall and are covered at top by a sort of hood that bends down over the mouth. The hood ends in two spreading wings that give it the lock of a fish’s tail. Like She other trumpet leafs, darlingtonia has its pitche rs In ightly colored, so us to cateb the eyes of fiying insects and lure them to their destruction. Around the mouth of the pitcher, along the fish tail and often down the wing on one side there is a lit- tle of the sweetish, sticky substance that offers a bait to the visitor, tempting him to come always a little farther in search of more.
The upper side of the fish tail and the |
inside of the pitchers are covered stiff hairs that point downward. Master Insect finds it easy work to crawl down into the pitcher, but if he gets frightened
by the darkn i i om } ’ return as he came he finds these hairs very much in his way. So at length,
wornout by his vain efforts to climb up, be usually falls into the well beneath hin.
But even if he is strong enough to get past the hairs he is not likely to find his way to the opening, for that is quite dark, while the hood covering the pitcher is ighted up by thin yellow dots scattered over it, much like the oil paper that people sovered their windows with in the old Jays before glass was common. The poor prisoner beats around inside the hood, like a Wasp on a window pane, until he is tired out and drops to the bottom. fornia insect catcher sets its trap for big game. Grasshoppers, bees, hornets, but- terflies and now and then a snail are cap- tured by it, besides many a smaller mor- sel. Itisoneof the hungriest ef the in- sect eating plants.—Thomas H. Kearney, Jr., in St. Nicholas.
Letters With Queer Addresses,
“It is wonderful how much confidence people have in a Iectter carrier’s ability to deliver letters,’’ said a letter carrier. ‘“‘Very often we have letters to deliver with scurcely any address at all and even that imperfect. If they manage, however, to get the number of the house and the street right, we can generally do the rest, it matters not how the names are spelled, oreven if they have been left off altegether. In other instances the names are all right, but there is ne address. In nine cases out of ten such letters reach their destination, though they are often somewhat delayed. I had a letter a few days ago which illus- trates my idea. It was addressed to a public wagon stand, to be delivered to the ‘driver of a gray horse with a covered fur- niture wagen, the wagon being painted green.’ It was the last word that secured the delivery, for it happens there are three white horses which are usually on that stand, but sao Was only one green paint- ed Pagsh. he laughable patt of¢it was that the letter was marked ‘Immediate.’ I visited that stand three times during the day, and, though white horses were in evidence each time I was there, the green painted wagon did not show up until my last trip. Then the combination was com- plete, and I delivered the letter. It was an order for the driver to move some fur- niture.
‘‘Another letter I once delivered was equally blindly addressed. It was ad- dressed to ‘Mr. ——, who owns two Spitz dogs, one a yellow and the other a gray.’ In # note on the back of the envelope, ad- dressed ‘To thu letter carrier,’ the informa- tion was given that the name had slipped the mind of the writer, but that the man with the two dogs was known to the car- rier. It happened that I did know the man and had often seen him with his
“dogs, but he lived two miles from my
route, though he very frequently came through it, visiting his son, who lived in my district. He got his letter, though.” —Waushington Star,

Crawley and his wife were at a dinner party the other nfght, and Crawley, who had been waiting three-quarters cf an hour for the opportunity, suddenly burst out with:
“That remind¢ me of a little story I heard the other day about an absentmind- ed man who was going to take a bath on Saturday night and’’—
‘*You are mistoken, my dear,’’ said the wife of Crawley’s bosom across the table in her calm yet firm voice. ‘‘I1t was not Saturday night; it was on Wednesday night. You always get it wrong when you try to tell the story, and I think that even a simple little story should be told correctly if atall, and you are so apt to get muddled on the main points of a story that I’d rather help you out by telling the main points myself, which were that the man was very absentminded, and one night when he had filled the bathtub fuli of water preparatory to taking a bath his head was so full of other things that what did he do but plunge right in without tak- ing off any of his clothes. Those are the the story, Mr. Crawley.’’
