Its rather bold in you to ask it,
but I suppose I can sprinkle on a lit
tle-a very little" she replied, and
she got the pepper and busted his
luncheon very sparingly.
He started to move away, but,
seeming to recollect something, he
turned and said
"You seem so benevolent I'll ask
you to sprinkle on little salt as
well. I like my icicles seasoned
pretty high"
"You're a bold man, sir, and it's
plain that you have the appetite of a
glutton, but I'll give you a bit OF
salt and then you must be gone" she
replied.
When the icicle had been duly
sailed, the man expressed his thanks
but didn't move away. His game
wasn't working to suit him. Some
folks wouldn't have stood there and
see him bite off the end Of big
icicle, but this girl did. And, further
when he hesitated to go, she indig-
nantlv called out:
II know what you want. You
want me to warm the icicle in the
oven for you, and then put on some
mustard, but I'll never. never do it."
The man moved slowly out of the
gate, and, as he threw his icicle at a
passing dog, he gave utterance to his
disgust in language punctuated en-
tirely with slung-shots.-Detroat Free

The orange is very easily digested,
admissible in health and disease, and
one before breakfast will often pre-
pare the delicate stomach for good
meal better than anything else.

the cooling liquid through a straw.
When he had finished he wiped off
his mouth and said:
"Well, every truth-teller in the

Each man rose up with the prompt
ness of soldier.
"And sit down again" softly said
the man as he made for the door.
They would have sat down on him,

THE TOWN OF MANDAN.
Exciting Spectators.
Bismarck Tribune

The town Of Mantiau Is situated on the
claim of F. f. Girard, also claimed by the
railroad, il being on an odd section. Cir
ard oblained his right to the claim ola man
named Strong Beer, better known as
"Posey" who lived there before the North.
ern Pacific land grant was given. II this
important witness can be found, Girard
will doubtless hold his claim, and the town
will be moved further up the Heart river
valley. Believing himself TO be on the
right track Girard has published the fo.-
loving notice:
Notice is hereby given that shall claim
all Improvements made on my claim, con-
sisting Of the e1@ and nw1 Of section 81,
town 139, range 81, as soon as shall per
feet roy title to the came.
F.F. GJRARD.
The directors of the Northern Pacific
hold that it being an odd section, they have
perfect right to do as they please with it,
and they have, through General Roseer,
laid out the town of Mandan. Gen. Ro.ser
issued permits giving parties the right TO
eke certain lots and improve them, they
agreeing 10 pay the appraised value given
them by the board Of rsiiroa,l direc ore.
Main street runs parallel to the railroad, at
distance Of 80 feet, ten feet further from
the track than Main street in Bismarck.
The streets are eighty feet vide, and Main
street is fully as long as Main street in this
city, which extends about three quarters OF
mile. A building, or a part of u building,
is sereeeeasse-o every fsonA Not aod ON many
back lots. Over forty frame buildings are
now in course ofconstruction, the most ex-
pensive being that OF General Roeser, which
is now encloted and will cost when finished
about $500. Geo. Peoples has good two
story building nearly completed, and Par
kin 4 Whalen have commenced a building
some What larger than the one they now oc-
cupy in this city. C. J. Weaver has good
one commenced. During the past few days
'jumpers' have been making dexterous
leaps and have "squatted" on every lot that
had not been previously improved: The
term improvement does not imply much in
the laying out of frontier town. -Four logs,
chained together at the four corners, forming
the foundation of an imaginary structure, Is
all that is necessary in the eyes of the
Jumpers" but Gen. Rosser, upon his re-.
turn from ,he east may differ with them
somewhat and cause the logs, too,hpicks
matches, ETC., to be removed from all lots
save those for which permit has been Civ
en-, in which event q lively time may be ex-
pected. A few parties to whom permits
have been given, have sold their right.
One party sold one for S25, and it is report
ed that J. w. Raymond sold one Of his cor.
ner lots for $500. Building is going on very
rapidly, and Msndan is fast assuming the
appearance of large town.

strange tale was carried to the rectorv.
and the good clergyman thought ii best,
under the circumstances, to disclose 10
the Squire his brothers last fearful
words and threats, and to suggest the
opening ofthe vault. To this the Squire,
greatly shocked, consented, and the
vault was unlocked and entered by
party sent to examine into the cause of
the strange noises heard the night be-
fore. A scene perfectly ineNplicabe
met their eyes. The collins of the
'Squire's lady and daughter were lying
in a far corner OF the vault, the young
girls coffin across her mothers, rs ii to
protect it. Close to them, standing
erect and menacing, was the coffin of
the 'SQuire's brother so recently and
decorously placed upon black trestles.
Amusement seized the bystanders, but
under the superintendent of proper
people the collins were restored to their
original places, and the vault was again
closed up. At night the noises began
again; the sound Of blows, ShriekS of
pain, and Il frighrful contention of strug-
Cling enemies appalled, the party of vii
layers set TO watch the place, i'll order
to prevent the possibility of deception.
The tale was whispered far beyond the
precincts of the village, and the SdtulS
from the neighboring city, who laughed
AZ the idea of anything supernatural,
suggested that an explosion of gas from
the foul air Of the vault might have oc-
casioned the displacement Of the cof-
fins. The Squire was induced to have
large ventilators placed in the vault;
but this did not i'll the least abate the
nuisance, which TO the terror of the
village rather increased than diminish
cd. At length the Squire himself re-
solved that n strong brick wall should
be built up in the vault, SO AS TO sepa.
rate etlectually the collins of those who
even in the solitude of the tomb seemed
to keep up their antagonism. This had
the desired effect. From that moment
all was quiet in thevault, and the nois-
es were never heard again but for long
afterwards the strange story was cur
rent i'll Lincolnshire.

Stories Of JAPANESE Sludent..

Two stories are told Of two Japanese
students at Hartford. One Of them was
invited ID call on d young lady, and he
did one afternoon. When he left he was
urged to "call again to "be sure and
come" and to "come very soon" lie
did not exactly understand what very
soon" meant, and surprised the young
lady by calling again in few hours.
Another Japanese was invited out 20
driver, and when the servant passed
him jar Of currant jelly he gave the
mold dexterous shake and emptied the
whole foim on to his plate, thinking
that there was mold Of jelly'for each
person at the table.

A Change In Funeral Fashions.
TROY Tlnlrs.


The gradual change in mortuary Gus
toms is a matter of occasional notice.
For several years the floral fashion con-
tinued to increase until it reached n
climax at Stewards funeral. The cx-
pense of decorating the coffin, with 9th
er displays suitable to that occasion, was
$4,000. This excess brought an im-
mediate reaction, and since then flow
ers for mortuary purposes have almost
fallen out of use. Another feature in
funerals is the choice Of evening Ms the
time of service, after which tho remains
are taken away for intermcnt. The cs.
cort to the grave on such occasions Is
limited to the smallest number that
may be required. II would he well if
another point could he brought into
fashion, that j., an abatement i'll the dis
play of mourning, which indeed were "A
contamination devoutly TO be wish
ed" The present depression is serious
ly felt among the undertakers, who find
1T very difficult to make collections.
Hence they are changing in their poll
cy, and instead of encouraging expens-
i've funerals they advise the contrary,
unless IN cases Of known wealth. This
arises from the above mentioned diff
