Cattleman or Gambler, “One day last fall,” said ‘. ‘well known Montana capitalist, “I was riding on a train in my state and got to be on pretty fair terms with the train boy by buying a few of the things he had to sell.

At last I asked him what Re thought I was. I had on a pretty flashy suit of light stuff and was thinking I was looking pretty well, so I waa willing to risk the boy’s venture. He looked me over for a full minute very carefully. “ ‘Well,’ he said at last, Siouva gota sloo of money, but I ain’t dead sure whether you are a cattleman or a gambler.’”—Washington Star. The Center of the Karth, Of late years the general view has been that the interior of the globe, though partly liquid, is for the most part solid. Some have considered that’ a .section’ through the earth would abhqw the following: (1) An outer solid envelope, (2) a semifiuid envelope, (8) a fluid envelope, (4) a smeifiuid envelope, (5) a solid nucleus. No. 1 results from a reduced temperature only, No. 2 from a pressure and temperature not quite suffi¢clent for liquidation; No. 8 from a tem‘. perature sufficiently high to produce complete liquidation, No. 4 from a pressure so great as to prevent even. the terrific heat which most. certainly exists deep down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which it works, and No. 5 from a pressure which’ overcomes completely the Uquefying power even of the maxtimum heat of the interior. This pressure is estimated to be a the' center of the earth 7,180,698 -760 pounds to the square foot, a pressure so enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath it. Even hydrogen at the highest possible temperature would under such conditions become as hard as a diamond. Hence it seems probable that, far from there being a vacuum at the center of the earth, there is a basis of intensely solid matter there.—Pearson’s Weekly. He Wanted a Drink, Some years ago Colonel Crisp was in New York, and being in attendance at a certain notable political gathering in Madison Square Garden was called upon for a speech. And did he accept? Well,. rather! Running his fingers through his hair, adjusting his vest and pushing up his coat sleeves, he started in to sprinkle eagle feathers all over the’stage: Now, the colonel is a stout man and has a thirst in propor‘tlon. In the course of his passionate harangue he became very warm and asked that some water be provided. In compliance with the request a diminupitcher and dainty little glass were brought and placed before him. Colonel Crisp looked at it intently for a few moments, and then “What is this?’ he thundered. “W-w-water,” timidly answered one of the vice presidents. his nostrils quivering with suppressed rage, “either bring me a bucket and a gourd or lead me to the branch.”—Kangas City Independent.
