The San Francisco Post of May 30 re-
lates this amusing story: The spectacle
of eight woolly- barred dark-ssinned
East Indians, with eyes glaring and fin
ger-nails and toe-nails seeking for some
thing to dig into as their owners tumbled
like tarbarrels down the staircase OF the
Russian Consul's Office, was as interest
ing yesterday as that official himself,
standing in irate dignity at the head of
the staircase, swelling with triumph at
the vindication of an insult to the repre-
sentative of the Czar of all the Russias.
Whether it was joke or not remains to
be seen, but, from the account which
they gave to the Post this morning. an1-
ious that the majesty of the press should
nvenge the insult to their persons, it ap-
pears that, inspired by desire to fight
Russia, they went to the Turkish Consul
to see about getting sent home to Turkey
to join the army. Perhaps misled by
their statements, in language only a
trihe more Ineligible than that of the
balloons on their native heaths, he gave
them note to the Russian Consul

English and dramatic fervor. which"
said the startled official as his patriotic
beard bristled at the insult. yah yah

eight, The war began Immediately.
The spokesman started down the stair
way head first, the frightened followers
going after, the official boot playing a
lively tune on the most vulnerable por-
ton of the Turkish recruits, and when
the sidewalk had been reached and a
council of war held the gang started off,
first for the newspaper offices, to inform
the world of the outrage, and afterward
for such other vengeance as was most
feasible.

set an old man over eighty years to
churning butter.
l am a grandpa miself, but | won't
churn for no concern, not if under
stand niself.
/ am willing to rock the baby while
wimmen folks are billing soap; 1 am
reddy to kut rags to work into rag
carpets; they can keep me hunting hens
eggs, or picking green kurrents, or will
even dip HANDLES or korn apples for sass,
but | won't churn.
have examined miself on this sub
iect, and will bet jacknife Josh Billings
won churn.
Ggandpas are poor help at bringing up
children; they are all full of precept and
katekism, but the young ones all seeci to
understand that grandpa minds them a
heap more than they mind grandpa
I Josh Billings.
