front parlor, so that he could enjoy
the explosion without going out Of
doors. Mr.. Babcock had been ex-
ceedingly troubled by goats, and
was particularly proud of his front
yard, which he had laid out with
great care and had surrounded with
fence of novel pattern and great
cost. Early in the morning the
expected goat butted the front gate
open, entered the yard, was lured
into the parlor, by the display of a
hoop skirt, and ate the apples. He
was an exceptionally long and mar
row goat, and was so persistently
thin that it was generally thought
that nothing, not even silver-plated
forks, could fatten him. In due
time he drank half the bucket OF
water and began to swell. Mr.
Babcock was in ecstasies. He lit
his cigar and sat on the front
piazza, looking through the window,
and, with his. watch in his hand,
noting how long it would be before
the explosion. There probably
never was goat who swelled Sc
tremendously as did that particular
goat.
At the end of an hour he was
as Mr.. Babcock is prepared to as
sert-at least fifseen feet in cir,
cumierence. Nevertheless, $the
looked-for explosion did not oc-
cur, neither did the goat seem tc
feel uneasy. He roamed around
the room, knocking down the fur.
niture, and occasionally butting
the piano. The disgusted Mr.,
Babcock would have tried to drive
him out, but had the door or the
window been twice as large as they
were, the expanded goat could moi
have passed through either o.
them. In his desperation the dis,
appointed man tried to shoot the
animal, but the shot rebounded
from his elastic sides and shattered
the mirror. There was nothing tt
be done but wait until the goa
should regain his usual proper
tions, and then to try to drive hin
out of the room.

enough afterward, but it was a
little scary at the time. He said
he'd come aboard to lick the pilot
what smashed his red boat. He
had two red boats, he said, but the
one he smashed was his pet. He
didn't mind, he said, going around
inside the wheel two or three times
himself, as long as he got out safe,
but he had a grudge against the
man that smashed his boat. But
he was satisfied.
"The other man that was with
Jim in the little boat on the night
of the accident did not get into the
wheel at all. Jim was a powerful
swimmer, and as soon as he got
out he swan ashore, and helped his
companion in, too. How did he

Easy enough. He made a good
plan to clean out the pilot, and
spent some money on it, but
lit didn't work. he sent his
friend down to New York City by

we reached the place Jim was out
on the river in his boat, and hi
friend was on the lower deck, stand

An Oihk Osh IncIdent which shows

New York Times.l
OF the numerous eminent citi-
zens of Oshkosh there is none who
is more deserving of respect than
Mr.. Johnston. Not only is he an
amiable and upright man, but he is
gifted with remarkable inventive
genius. At least such is his opinion,
and those who are not personally
acquainted with him rarely deny
that his opinion is right, Mrs.
Johnston, howsver, does not regard
her husband as an able inventor.
She admits that he means well, but
she asserts with much emphasis
that when one of his inventions
comes in at the front door it is time
for her to fly out of the nearest
available window, if her life Is real
ly worth saving,
Mr.. Johnston has always main
tained that his wife's lack of faith
in him was due to an unfortunate
accident in connection with an at
tempt made by him to manufacture
rice griddle-cakes. AS he Justly
says, cooking has nothing to do
with invention, and that it is unjust
to discredit his inventive genius
simply because he once made a mis-
take in cooking. The circumstances
Of the affair were these: Mr.. john
ston, who had repeatedly found fault
with his breakfast, remarked on one
occasion. that his wife seemed alb
solutely incapable of making rice
griddle-cakes. Whereupon that in
dignant woman announced that she
should refuse to have anything to
do with the next days breakfast,
and should lay the whole burden of
its preparation uron her husbands
shoulders. "0r course" she added,
''you know how to make rice cakes
better than the Angel Gabriel, and
YOU can Just show, for once, what
you can do"
With great courage Mr.. Johnston
undertook the unwelcome task thus
thrust upon him, and made his
preparations with intelligent care.
There were eight persons in his
family, and, as he estimated that
each one would eat II pint of rice,
he decided TO use four quarts OF rice
in mixing his griddlecakes. TO the
rice he added four quarts of butter
milk and quart OF hot water, be-
sides few handfuls of flour and
Indian meal, IL order that the cakes
should look Drown. He then re-
hected that it would be necessary
to add to the mixture something
that would make it light, and &C.
cordingly threw in teacupful of
cream of tartar, an equal quantity
of salaatus, and half paper Of
baking powder. Having thus mixed
his cake 10 his satisfaction, he
placed the pan containing the mix
ture in a warm corner of the kitch-
en- and left it to "rise" during the
night,
There is no doubt that it did
rise" Moreover, the rice swelled,

least a foot, while in the immediate
neighborhood OF the pan pyramid

on dry bread and water, and subse-

Gated by OOIOrea Foster Parents.
Dallas (Texas) Herald.l
Near the line of tile San Jacinto
street railway, on the Central rail-
road in this city, there lives a white
girl with a colored family whose
history is remarkably romantic
According to the story told by hei
sable foster father, and the writing,
he produces to prove the sane, the
girl is the illegitimate offspring Of
parties of the highest social stand,
ing, near Hickman, KY, each OIL
whom were wealthy. One night
after he and his family had retired
to rest, he was awakened by the CRY
of an infant and'a knocking at the
door, and on opening it found a
white baby in a basket on the ster
with Il note pinned to it, telling him
to take care OF 1t, and that he in
turn would be cared for pecuniarily.
Through commisseration he took
the child in and cared for it. He
had children of his own, but the
heart of the black man was touched,
and he determined to rear the child
as his own and be true to it. The
parents of the child had never in
any way made themselves known
otherwise than in the note above
mentioned, and the negro had be-
come to regard it as one of his own
children. On the fifth birthday Of
the adopted child woman of ele-
CANT family and character appeared
and demanded it, claiming that she
had paid promptly for its mainten-
once, she having married in the
meantime. But the negro man
promptly refused to deliver up the
child to which he had come to be
very much attached, and suit was
instituted by the parties to regain
possession Of it, but, after hearing
the trial, the judge decided 10 favor
Of the negro. The case was taken
by the other parties to the Supreme
Court, where it was decided in the
same manner. tfn
AT thirteen years of ace. the
girl, who had already an English
education, was sent to a female col
loge in Millersburg, Ky. Here she
met with an individual named Fol-
some, who was attending college at
that place, and what at first prom
ised to prove but a mere acquaint-
ance, grew and ripened into love,
and they became engaged. While
they were yet engaged young Fol
some was shot and killed in a diff
Guilty with a fellow-student. This
sad episode in her life was u source
of great grief to her, and she aban-
doned her studies and returned
home with a longing to see the
country of which her dead loyer
had SO often spoken. She persuad-
ed the negro man to move to the
Choctaw Nation, in the Indian Ter
ritory, where she lived over the
dreams Of her saddened anticipa-
tions. After spending part of the
time here they came to this city,
where they have lived ever since,
the girl being source Of curiosity
to the denizenS of this city.
