GEORGIA BLOODHOUNDS.
K««n Scent Enables Them to Perform
Almost Incredible Feats.
What the Georgia bloodhound can do
seems almost Incredible. A convict
sleeping In one bunk of a hundred,
shod and clad precisely as the hundred
convicts about him, may slip his chain
and flee. Ten miles away he may
meet his fellow prisoners again, may
run to and fro among them or walk
with them a mile and leave them.
Six hours after these hounds, put on
his track where he slipped the camp,
will follow him to where he met his
gang, will tread his track in and about
with hundreds of tracks, take It up
where he leaves them and run him
down though he cross convict gangs
every mile he runs.
This escaping convict, clad In stripes
cut from the same bolt with a hundred
others, may run through the woods,
touching weeds and bushes as he runs.
Fifty other convicts may run through
the same woods in every direction.
The dogs will hold his scent, running
full tilt, breast high. If he makes a
curve of forty-five degrees the dogs
will not run the line, but will catch his
scent thirty yards away and across the
angle, though it were filled with the
convicts who had eaten and slept with
the fugitive.
Often a dog will carry a scent in a
gallop, running parallel thirty yards to
the windward. An uncanny and terri
ble little beast is the red bone hound,
trained for the hunting of man.—Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
SAVED BY A WAGER.
Doomed by the Surgeons, Hay Bet He
Would Live, and He Did.
When U61onel Hay, notorious for his
love of gambling and betting, was se
verely wounded in the Peninsular war
two brother officers came across his
apparently lifeless body.
“Poor Hay! He's gone at last,” said
one named Winsor.
A faint voice came from the ground,
■‘I’ll lay you a hundred he’s not” Ilis
death seemed only a question of min
utes, but he continued, “Enter the bet,
and you, Marston”—addressing the
other officer—“be witness.”
He then fainted. When he was tak
en to the hospital the surgeon told him
the bullet could only be removed by
sawing through two ribs and introduc
ing a child’s hand to extract it, as
forceps could not touch it. “The
chances are,” he added, “that you will
die under the operation.”
“If Winsor will make iiis bet double
or quits I’ll consent.” said the colonel.
Winsor agreed.
“Now saw away,” said Hay. “1
won’t die.” And he did not
“But for that bet,” he said afterward,
“I should be a dead man. It was my
determination to win it that kept me
alive.”—Pearson’s Weekly.
Information.
It was a very fashionable concert
and the artists very well known ones,
but the two young things were too
busy with picking out their peculiari
ties to hear tile music.
In the midst of a beautiful selection
the pianist suddenly lifted his hands
from the keys and one of the young
tilings was heard to say clearly:
"I wonder if that hair is his own?”
The old man who sat beside her was
slightly deaf, but he turned with a
benevolent smile.
"No. miss.” he imparted pleasantly;
"that is Schubert's.” — Philadelphia
Press.
Old Forts of Antwerp.
As long ago as 1C>41 an English trav
eler to Antwerp was impressed by the
extensive character of its fortifications.
“The grafts, ramparts and platforms
are stupendous." writes John Evelyn
in his diary. “* * * But there was
nothing about this citty which more
ravished me than those delicious
shades and walkes of stately trees,
which render the fortified workes of
the towne one of the sweetest places
in Europe; nor did I ever observe a
more quiet, eleaue, elegantly built and
civil place than this magnificent and
famous citty of Antwerp.”
Compensation.
If it is true, as our business philoso
phers tell us. that "those who never do
more than they get paid for never get
paid for more than they do,” then It
is quite clear that If you want to get
paid for more than you do you must
do more than you get paid for. Even
a philosopher ought to see how impos
sible that is, but, of course, the true
philosopher cannot be expected to hesi
tate over a mere impossibility.—Life.
Where Procedure Is Slow.
“What’s your excuse for speeding?”
asked the judge.
“Oh, we live in rapid times, your
honor,” answered the motorist flippant
ly. “Everything has to speed up a bit
these days.”
“Not at all,” said the judge. “And
you will observe the contrary If you
will sit down and spend the day in this
courtroom. Ten dollars.”—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Chicksn Cheese.
Boll two chickens until tender; then
take out all the bones and chop the
meat fine. Season to taste with salt
pepper and butter, pour in enough of
the liquid to make it moist; then put
into a mold. When cold turn out and
cut in slices.
