LIFE igy fifjY
By a Lodger.
I took the room because It was so
small, and because I thought that by
hanging a red—a dark red—curtain
in front of the bed it would make an
ideal bed sitting room.
Also I liked the red and gold paper
on the walls. The original wall pa-
per, I learned afterward, was like the
pattern on a servant girl's print dress,
but a former tenant, with a fins sense
of the artistic, had caused the walls
to be repapered. So, when Mrs. Mar-
boy, withdrawing one of her hands
from the folds of her apron and wav-
ing it around the room in showman-
like fashion, said the charge was $1.50
a week, without "electric light,". I
closed with her, and the room was
mine.
You climbed up three flights of
stairs, each flight narrower and less
carpeted than the other (the last
flight sunk to the depths of oilcloth),
and then you fell against the door of
the room. When you knew the geo-
graphy of the staircase, however, you
steadied yourself on the top stair, and
stretched out your hand. By long
practice the door handle met your
hand. But even then the room resent-
ed your Intrusion,
The door handle baffles many vis-
itors. It is by this time aware of my
touch, for it always yields without a
murmur to the known pressure of
my hand. With the stranger or the
casual caller it is different. I hear the
step outside, and then I see the handle
gravely nodding its head, and saying
at the same time, in a determined
squeak, "No, you don't!"
In such cases I remove my feet
from the bureau and take my pipe
from my mouth, and call out, "Pull
the door toward yourself gently and
turn the handle suddenly." I have
several times thought of avoiding this
trouble by pinning the formula on. the
door. But there are objections to
that. I think it would be unfair to the
door handle, and even if I did pin the
notice there, it is so dark that nobody
would be able to read it.
Also there are occasionally people
who try th door, and when repulsed
the 'nvincible handle conclude tliat
I have gone out and locked the room
Then I hear their steps go carefully
down the narrow staircase, echoing
fainter and fainter, and if I am in the
middle of Omar Khayyam I smile
gratefully at the door handle. Oh! we
are old friends.
The love that I bear to my little red
room is pity-born. If you are a de-
formed man, or a one-legged beggar,
you are moved to translate your com-
passion into copper or silver, accord-
ing to your purse or your pity. But i
deformed room! How better show
your sympathy than by ignoring its
deformities and living in it regardless
of its defects, and treating it as if it
were a normal room? When Mrs.
Marboy first showed me the room it
seemed so empty and sad that I took
pity on it. It seemed to be yearning
for an inhabitant (the widow looked
vacantly at me and said so), and who
am I that I should withstand the
human appeal of a room in a house
in Waverly place—Waverly place, one
of the old-time fashionable sections of
the city?
I pretend not to notice the terrible
deformity of my room; nevertheless,
when I bump my head inadvertently
against the ceiling, which slopes to-
ward the window, I am forcibly re-
minded that my room is not as other
rooms. Three wjills of it are tall and
upright, as walls should IkC Fut the
fourth wall—the one which is graced
by a window—was dwarfed in its
youth |nd stands sadly small, quite
four feet shorter than its brothers.
When I am sitting here late it seems
to me that the little wall looks wist-
fully up to its bigger brothers, won-
dering why it was born so small, and
dreaming, perhaps, of taller days
when it shall push the slanting ceil-
ing into a horizontal position and be
more worthy of the name of "wall."
The ceiling of my room is lined
with age. When I stare up at it from
my bed it reminds me of the maps at
school. I can see big rivers, with
iheir little tributaries branching off
from either side. Some people might
object to the cracks in the ceiling, but
it keeps my geography from getting
rusty. The rugged crack stretching
from the door to the washstand I have
named the river Amazon, and the Del-
aware reaches from the window to the
back of the bureau. Now and again
a new crack appears on the ceiling,
and I feel liln Columbus. For every
new crack I discover a new river.
Unearthed a Burled Tree.
About 70 years ago millions of tons
of earth, bowlders and gravel slid
from the side of Mount Katahdin to
Sourdnahunk Stream, in Maine, a dis-
tance of seven miles, and dammed the
stream, forming what is known to
West Branch lumbermen as Slide
dam.
A repair crew of a paper company
recently had occasion to remove a
quantity of gravel from this deposit.
At a depth of ten feet they found the
trunk cf a spruce tree bent like a
bow, the top held down by a bowlder
weighing many tons. The trunk was
sound, but the bark and foliage had
been removed by the r.crtping the
tree received when the slide occurred.
Another large tree with foliage in-
tact was found in the pit. The fo-
liage was first removed from the
earth looking fresh green as if it had
just been removed from a growing
tree, but laded somewhat in a few
hours.
Chicago Cats Tough.
Chicago.—In order to escape being
killed by a pursuing Boston bull ter-
rier, a cat, the pet of the Midday
club, leaped out of the eighteenth
story window of the First National
bank building and landed on the sky-
light of the bank quarters on the
thfrd floor.
The heavy wire screening above the
glass was bent and twisted by the im-
pact and a few pieces of glass fell
to one of the clerks' cages on the floor
below, but the cat escaped uninjured.
Fifteen minutes after the fall the an-
imal returned to its quarters on the
eighteenth floor lunch room, a little
bit dicky-legged, it is true, but other-
wise all right.

Takes Long Drop; Kept on Smoking.
York, Pa.—F. B. Kling, of this city,
a railroad bridge builder, spent the
other day at his home, following his
fall of 60 feet from a bridge at Bruce-
ville, Md., where he landed in shallow
water. Instead of being killed he was
only shaken up, and kept on smoking
his pipe as he walked out of the
stream. He was smoking when he
fell, and did not even lose his trihm

The preliminary hearing of Mrs. Lila
Meadows and Rudolph Tegeler, charged
with the murder of James R. Meadows
upon the night of June 4th, will be held

Justice Zwick. The case against Mrs.
Keith, who is also charged with the

only about 34 witnesses will be exam-
ined. At present the territory has 54
witnesses and expect to subpoena a Ir
more perhaps, before the i a e-
