point out AS my husband"
"What do YOU want me to do, my dar-
ling ?"
Learn a trade; be a man, an inde-
pendent man. When yOu have earned
enough money to buy set OF furniture
and can show me that you are able to sup
port me. I'm yours"
''l'll do it," cried Dick.
Next day. without a word OF opposi-
ton from his mother, which he thought
rather strange, he left home. went to the
cify. and made arrangements with a
friend of his, carpenter and builder, to
learn trade.
Dick was natural mechanic. No other
workman was ever needed at home; he
mended everything. There was no tool
he couldn't use, and, therefore. at the end
of six months there was not journey
man in the shop that could compare with
him for elegant work. Then he rented a
little shop. and set up for himself.
Strange to say. his first order came from
the widow Flipper to thoroughly repair
three of her houses. Mrs Fhpper rec
ommended him to all her property-owning
friends. His business increased wonder
fully, because his work WAS always well
done. At the end of the year he had a
really good business.
Then he went home on Saturday night,
with bank-book and plain gold ring in
his pocket. He went in the kitchen way ;
there was no one there.
On his way up stairs he met his mother.
Embraces followed. and he asked
"Where's Kate"
We have hitherto neglected to mention
that the cooks name was Kate.
Not in" answered Mrs. Clemmens
"but Kitty Flipper is upstairs; come up

And he did take her, while the old lady
discreetly looked out OF the window and
thought of her youth.
"And YOU We're all in the plot against
me, ELI ?" asked he
Yes" exclaimed the ladies, half fright.

Mehemet Ali Pasha was what q
German General described as a "dev.
il of DutchMan." And yet he wal
not a Dutchman. He was born OF
French parentage at Magdebourg
Prussia. The romance of his career
began when he leaped from German
man-cf-war, swan to the barge Of the
Grand Vizier of the Porte, in the
Bosphorus and claimed that he desir.
ed to become Turk. The high old
Moslem took fancy to the renegade
gave him a military education and
looked TO his promotion. Mr.. Schnltz
by degrees became highly trusted
officer Of the Porto, and on many oc.
casions justified the German Geuer.
aps title to another. He had great
dash, personal courage, and real mil.
tary skill. In 1S47 he became the
Generalissimo Of the Turkish armies
and afterward represented the inter-
ests Of the Porte at the convention in
Berlin. He was appointed agent of
the Porte to secure the acquiesence of
the Albanians to the occupation of
that province by the Austrians, and
persisted in horse shed, a victim to
the resistance to the new partition of
Eastern Europe as arranged by the
Powers. His was q strange career !;
from Franco-German peasant boy
to cadetship in the German navy,
to become the protege of Moslem
official, and to rise TO be the chief COM
mandcr of tho Sultan's army, and to
die miserably at the hands of a squad
of insurgents, represents life Of

A Sharp Trick by Two Trampk
INDIANAPOLIS Sun

Flood and Bruce are peripatetic
printers, widely known. They have
habit OF turning up here and else
where when least expected, coming
without warning, and departing even
as the wind. BY rare chance they
have just been heard from at DAN
vile, ILL.,, tramping from St. Lonis
and headed in this direction. They
came within view of that city last
Sunday, weary with travel and sore
ly hungered. The road they came
had been over-worked. The erst-
while hospitable farmer now sets his
dog on the wayfaring man instead of
welcoming him to his family
Through this departure from the Gus
toms OF the fathers, they walked and
ate not.
Thoroughly discouraged at their
repeated failures to procure food,
they yot concluded to make one moro
trial on this beautiful Sunday morn
ing, and cautiously entered the yard
ola decent farmhouse, peering about
| them to see that tOwser did not come
euddenly around a corner. They
knocked on the front door; no re-
swer. They went in. There was not
a soul at home. A table spread and
most substantial meal was before
them. 1t was like a dream from the
Arabian nights. The dinner was
doubtless awaiting the return of the
family from church. The pedestrians
fell to, and their knives and forks
soon smoked with the friction of exc
cution. To say that they Jared sump-
tuously would convey no idea of the
amount they ate nor the intense salts
faction with which the viands were
received.
AS they were finishing the feast a
knock was heard. Bruce, with I'M
PARALLEL cheek went to the door,
There stood two other tramps, who
asked for something to cat. Bruce,
in rare spirit Of mischief, question
ed them closely in regard to their
travels and finally asked them if they
would chop wood for their dinners
They answered yes. He then took
them to a woodpile that he had notic-
ed in the rear of the house, and they
went to work. Bruce and Flood, fill
ing their pockets with victuals, stole
out the side way from the house and
went to neighboring hill, where
they had a good view of the wood
pile and the toiling tramps. There
they gloated over the picture. To
make their measure of enjoyment
run over, the owner Of the farmhouse
accompanied by several daughters
and two stalwart sons, arrived on the
scene, the devastation of the dinner
was discovered, and the two sweat
ing tramps at tho wood-pile seized as
the depredators. All was seen by the
two on the hill, from the arrival of
the family to the ignominious expul-
sion Of the wood-cutters.
