NEIGHEORLY CoURTEsIEs.

Jaky Watts and Benny Richa7dswere
sitting in the dark in Watts kitchen the
other night, cracking hazel nuts, and tell
ing one another how good their respect
i've fathers were. Jaky heard his father
step up stairs, and suddenly became ST.
lent. Mr.. Watts had thrown ont some
hints at the dinner-table that he would
tend to Jaky when he came home, for ty-
ing his sister in a bag. When Jaky
heard the old gentleman's steps approach
ing the kitchen stairs, he said " Benny,
something makes me feel as if I had for
gotten to shut the back gate. III be
back in minute" and hurried out Of
the door.
Mr.. Watts came down to the kitchen
shaking with suppressed rage, and seeing
a lone figure sitting in the dim light of
.the FIRE, he grabbed it by the ear and
raised it out Of the chair. Benny set up
a terrible bowling. Mr.. Watts waltzed
him around the room, jerking out such
remarks as IN teach you to perpctrate
such things in my house you thought
you'd maItreat your little sissy, did YOU &?
| suppose you'll want to put me ID a bag
next" The Richards boy set up pro-
longed howl, interrupted occasionally by
quick " Ouch !" and an effort TO cover
some tender spot with his hand.
Mr.. Watts gave final wrench, and
slung him against the table, with the OBJ
seryation that he guessed he would not
forget this right away. Benny rushed
out Of the house smiling, and uttering
all sorts of threats against Watts. Jaky
stopped him in the yard with an express
sion Of open mouthed wonder, exclaim
ed " Why, Benny, what in the world
is the matter Do you feel sick ?" Ben
ny did not stop to explain, but sncaked
over the fence and home, dropping n
hard word at every step.
Jaky looked very weak as he came into
the house rubbing his legs and showing a
disposition to run at every motion his
father made, and looked exactly as if he
had been whipped. Mrs. Richards called
the next day in Il high state Of indignation
She took up her quarters in the basemen
hall, with Benny under her arm, and told
the Watts folks Just what she thought of
them. She became highly innamcd and
choked with passion, and reminded them
that they couldn't ride over her, if Mr..
Watts did hold Government office, not
if she knew herself She'd like to see
herself associated with people as would
set upon and maliciously matrcat ten
der infant.
Then she danced away with tte assur-
ance that they hadn't heard the last of it.
Mr.. Watts investigated the matter Il little
and he and Jaky held business meeting
in the wood-shed, much to Jaby's disgust.
The matter was thoroughly explained
and Mrs. Watts sent bowl Of currant
jelly around to Mrs. Richards. Mrs.
Richards says she never really knew
what n dear, good lady Mrs. Watts was
before; but Benny says that all the cur
rant jelly in the district can't efface the
memory Of one night and he longs to be
a man, so that he can revenge himself
upon Mr.. Watts.- Washington RepuJli-

SINGULAR HAILCCINATIoN.- There
dwells in New York lady who, in ali
respects save one, seems a sane and sens
ible woman. She lost five years ago, an
only daughter Of great promise, seventeen
years old, and the idol of her mother.
Since her child's death she has had the
room she used to occupy cleaned daily,
and the untouched bed pulled to pieces
and made over. She sits before the va
cant chair at the table and fills the unused
plate and, Spring and Fall, buys tho
prettest things for "Addie," giving away
the last years garments, "Addie" hav-
ing done with them. There is no appear
ance Of mental gloom or disorder about
her, yet she carries this vagNry into every
act Of her life. Riding out, no one ever
sits beside her, as that place is filed by
the imaginary, air-drawn daughter. At
the theaier, when seats are taken, her
husband gets three. You see the vacant
chair between them where she supposes
the dead "Addie" sits and views the per-
iormance. She is cheerful and happy,
and asked friend Of mine the other day
for pattern Of Il wrapper, saying, "Ad-
die keeps her room so much it will be
seryiceable to her." and few days later
| saw the poor mother busily braiding n
sacque for "Addie." She will speak with
all nationality on all subjects for hours,
but will suddenly excuse herself, saving
that she must go to "Addie" for a few
moments. Sitting beside the empty bed.
Ito which her daughterwds confined for
two years before her DEATH she clasps an
unseen hand, and talks hours together
with her phantom daughter. 1t is a
strange case, but by no means sad one,
since her tender ministrations to this
yiewless "Addie" makes the mothers
heart rejoice. To all intents and purpos-
cs, the daughter seems to her to be with
her constantly. Her husband contem
plates taking her abroad, and the lady is
already packing up "Addie's" things.

The agent informed him that such pol

A NOVEL BooTJACK. Major Rodgers
had been out shooting and discharged his
guns when an elephant made charge at
him from the skirts of the jungle. There
was no help for it except to run, and Cor
four hundred yards the Major kept just
ahead, feeling at every stop as if the ami
malls trunk was trying to twist itself
about him. A turn round tree gave
him momenta7y advantage, which he
made the most of by springing into its
branches. One foot higher and he would
have been out of the elephants reach;
but before he had time to draw up his
legs, the elephant had got him firmly
clcnched in the tolls of his proboscis.
Still Rodgers pulled against him, think
ing it better to have his leg wrenched
from the socket than to fall back bodily
into the animals power. The struggle,
however, did not last long; for, to the
delight of the pursued and the chagrin of
the pursuer, the Wellington boot which
The former wore, slipped off and saved
the lie Of poor Rodgers. The dilemma,
however, did not end here; for the elo-
phant, finding himself ballted of his
prey, after destroying the boot, took up
his quarters beneath the branches, and
kept his anticipated victim in the tree
for twenty-lour hours, when the country
postman happened to pass by. Rogers
gave him notice Of his position, and soon
help came and the elephant was frighton-
ed away by tomtoms and yelling. Had
this occurred in deserted part of the
jungle, the officer must have been starved
TO death in the tree.

ternoon Anton Adams was absorbed in
making out the death warrants of those
who had not money enough to pay their
county taxes. So absorbed was Anton,
that he did not notice bow-legged dark
ey, black as our railroad prospects, bow

over the railing and said pleasantly =
" Captain, is you de boss oh de Grand

his own recklessness. As soon rs the Of
iieial could recover his presence of mind,
he asked what was wanted, whereupon
the coored voter replied "kase if you
