MARK TWAIN'S HORSE.

Gentlemen, this horse of mine was
tough bitted, and he went SO fast that
had to guide him by electricity to
have wire lines and keep battery in the
wagon all the time in order to stop him. ,
"Wny didn't you stop him by holler

''Stop him by hollering who-al Why,

TRUTH IS MIGHTY.

As the little leaven hid in the measure
of meal, made all leaven, SO truth grad
ually overcoInes all doubt and disbelief
When DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, an
nounced that his Favorite Prescription
would positively cure the many diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women, some
doubted, and continued to employ the
harsh and caustic local treatment. But
the mighty truth gradually became ac-
knowledged. Thousands of ladies who
had uselessly undergone untold fortunes
at the hands of different physicians, en-
ployed the Favorite Prescription. and
were speedily cured. Many physicians
now prescribe it in their practice So
sanguine is DR.. Pierce of its power to
cure, that he now sells it through drugg-
lists under a positive guarantee.

AIRING HIS FRENCH.

While French ship was detained at a
Southern port on tho coast of Georgia,
the officers amused themselves by fishing
and hunting, making their rendezvous at
the house of an old farmer, where they
cooked their game and slept. The old
man watched their foreign ways with in
tense curiosity, and listened eagerly to
the bewildering tongue they so fuently
discoursed in, and after some Gays had
passed he picked up some of the phrases
most agreeable to his ear, although he
could not catch the imitation. or may
have scorned to initiate it. He had been
fond of holding forth in prayer, night
and morning, for many years, with no
audience but his wife, and now that
Providence had provided a congregation
who were necessarily compelled to sit
around his fire for rest after the days
hard work, his outpourings began to
stretch far beyond the patience Of his
guests, and soon they showed no hesita-
ton in dropping off III the midst of his
exhortation. Noticing and resenting
this, he commenced the usual nightly ex-
ercises earlier one evening before any Of
the party had left, and after enumerating
every sin of commission and omission
they had been guilty of while under his
roof, besought for pardon for them.
but if, . he prayed, with fervor, "their
godlessness and sinfulness are past for
giveness, then, O Lord, / beseech you to
look with a sang J1'oid on their daily
life"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
Trench words were pronounced with all
the hardness his voice was capable of
enunciating, and each letter dwelt upon
with fervid distinctness.

The Grand Canon of the Arkansas is
nine miles in length, being the narrow
winding way of that river through gran
lite. the walls rising in many places to the
height of $500 feet. This rock-bound
river pathway was discovered by the
Spanish missionaries as early as 1912.
From that time it is not known that any
animal life passed through it until the
summer of 1870. Recently, a train of
cars on the Acthinson, Topeka and Santa
Fee railroad made the passage. Along
the palisade that forms the northern
boundary Of the gorge, and about ten
feet above the boiling waters, the engi-
neer has carved a roadbed.

\ DOUBTFUL HUSBAND There is at
Moscow a certain German, blacksmith,
named Jordan, who married a Russian
woman. After she had lived some time
with her husband, she one day thus low
ingly addressed him: ''Why is it, my
dearest husband, that you do not love
me?' The husband replied: 81 do love
you, passionately." 81 have, as yet, :"
said she, received no proof of your
love" The husband inquired what proofs
she desired. Her reply was: ''Ycu have
never beaten mel" Really" said the
husband, 81 did not think that blows
were proofs of love; but, however, will
not fail even in this respect" And so
not long after he beat her most cruelty,
and confessed to mo that after that pro-
cess his wife showed him much greater
affection. SO he repeated the exercise
frequently; ana finally, while I was still
at Moscow, eut off her head snd her legs.
