A GALLANT OLD GENTLEMAN Not long
ago, as an elderly couple were out walking a
lady on the opposite side of the street tripped
and fell down. The old gentleman rushed a
cross the street, raised his hat, and offered to
assist her in any possible way. His wife fol-
lowed him across at slow pace, and witness
ing his devotion to the stranger, she got mad
and shook her fist at him. "It's all right
it's all right" he whispered. g Yes, know
it is, she holly exclaimed. Here's an I'M
known woman stubs her toe, and you pillow
across the street to eat her up with kindness.
The other day, when fell down STAIRS you
stood and laughed and chuckled and tickled
your ribs, and wanted to know if l was prac-
ticing for circus p

A New EMPIRE IN THE WEsT.-If Sitting
Bull and his warriors were to return to tho
great valley Of the Yellowstone, from which
they were expelled only a short year ago.
they would scarcely know their old limiting
grounds. Immigration has poured ID FROM
all sections. The wigwam Of the Indian has
given pIace to churches and schools and news
paper offices. At Tongue river, where Gen.
Miles was enoamped IN 1al6-f, there is .
town with population of nearly one thon-
sand inhabitants. Tho battle. fields Of the
heroic Custer are farms, and cattle Craze ON
the plains and hillsides where the saddest
and bloodiest Of our Indian tragedies were SO
recently enacted. This generation is familiar
with the rapid growth of towns and cities in
what we love to call the Great West, but this
settlement of the Yellowstone in SO short time
is marvel. 1t is only yesterday, as it were,
that we printed the details Of the battle aud
the massacre that plunged whole country
in mourning and to-day our correspondent
from the same point tells us of the opening Of
banks, the erection Of theatres, Of courts and
judges and police. The Yellowstone Valley
is forever lost to the Indian. The blood OF
Custer and lis heroes was a terrible pride to
pay for it but after all they died IN noble
cause. Our Western country is the great
monument of the heroes of our army, ard
their names will be forever cherished as tho
martyrs Of our civilization.~~N. y. lie dtd.

can be found any day in the week in Detroit.
A very nice young man, dressed in the mob

cost less than doller, walked up the high
front steps of Jefferson avenue mansion
and pulled the bell. 1t was plain enough
even to the driver of street car that the
young man had an affection for some one in

his chRrmer. But it wasn't so plain TO d
stub.nosed boy who was drawing picture
OF an Indian warrior on the flagstones with a
piece of indigo. He looked up, quit his
work, and, loafing along to the gate, he
called out
"Them air folks don't want any patent

The nobby young man gave sudden start
of surprise, but he instantly realized the vast

A QUEER WITNESS About ten yelsrs ago,
a young man in New York, of very good char
acter, hired horse from livery stable TO
ride to little town about twenty miles dis
tant. Unfortunately, about half way out the
horse was taken Ill and died. The livery man.
sued him for the value of the horse, repre-
senting that the horse had been killed by fast
riding. One of the young mans witnesses
(rather green or supposed TO be, and who had
a peculiar habit of talking very low was
called to the box aud questioned thus by the
prosecutor
"Are you acquainted with the prisoner at
the bar?"
"Y-a.a-s" very slowly drawled OUT

"Well, sir, please state to the court what

company of persons who roGe very fast, and
he did not want to be left behind he would
ride fast, too And il lie was riding with
company that rode very slow, and he did not
want to go ahead, alone, suppose he would
ride slow, too

A WONDERFUL FREAK OF NATURE
Capt. John Marshall, of Smiths Island,
has certainly got curiosity in the poultry
line. 1t is no malformation of the chick
en-; it is simply that it has changed from
a hen to a rooster. This may seem an in
credible story to the reading public, but
the aforesaid gentleman, together with his
wife, who are well known and highly re-
spected in this section, will testify to the
correctness of this statement. He says
that during the first year of the chickens
existence, it laid eggs and Matched chick
ems, and acted as other hens. The second
year it did the same thing, but during the
latter part of the second year, some change
in its actions was perceptible, and later on,
it crowed, aud ever since it has been de-
veloping more like rooster. 1t has now
large comb and very long spurs, and to
all intents and purposes is a rooster. This
chicken has not laid an egg since the sec
ond year, when the said change was no
ticeable, and it has not attempted to ''set"
since that time. On the contrary it acts
like rooster and assumes all the duties
of rooster. Capt. Johnnie invites those
who discredit his statement to call and see
for themselves, and then they will be con-
vinced of its accuracy. He also has two
ponies that wade out into the water sur
rounding the Island, and eat grass off of
the bottom. This is something of unusual
occurrence. Capt. John has so many Gu
riosities on the Island that we are almost
persuaded to believe that the "half was
not told. Cisfeld, Nd, Leader.
