trouble with emigrating freedmen has
interfered with the field work to some
extent, but as many of the negroes are
returning. this drawback is but TEN,

The Deaf Man and the Druggist.

The other day gentlcmanly appearing
individual entered one of our prominent
drug stores and presented a prescription
over the signature of a weil-known physi,
clan. The druggist Immediately proceeded
to put it up in accordance with hierOglyphiC
directions When he had finished ht
handed the minute package to the pur-
chaser, with pleasant
twenty-five cents, p ease"
The man received the prescription,
went down in his pockets, pulled out five
cents. laid it on the counter and started to
go out.
''Say, there, said the druggist, ''you've
made a mistake; twenty-five cents.
/ ''All right, was the reply, five cents !;
there il is"
''That's only five cents" was the re
I joinder. twenty-five cents want"
I 81 tell you there it is-five cents-there
it is, and the man walked toward the door.
Then the druggist getting angry, came
from behind the counter and tapping the
man on the shoulder, yelling:
MY friend, the price is twenty-five
cents :"
"What do YOU take me for - was the
response Il amt no fool. There's your
five cents ON the counter! Five cents
there it is.
One more attempt was made to explain
the difference between the cost and the
price paid but it was no use the stranger
repeating,
There's your five cents, left the store
Then the druggist, using words like con-
found it, blockhead, nuisance, etc, re
turned to the arms of a crowd of friends in
the rear of the store, who were laughing
themselves sick over his trouble
''Why, that's Old said they, he's as
deaf as an adder. You are sold this time -
''Well, don't care, replied the drug
gist, ''l've got his nickle and made three
cents on the prescription anyway

A Bad Scare.

During residence in Peru, busines;
took me in the neighborhood of Sara
yacu, and having several days of leisure
before me, determined TO visit local
ity which in that part Of the world is
considered celebrated.
Nothing more attractive than the
neighbors can be conceived. lt Is,
perhaps, as picturesque spot as any
on the globe-silent, fresh, myster-
ious and surrounded by a mass of trop-
| ical vegetation of the most magnificent
character. The river which flows al
hand, is lovely, the water limpid and
tempting; but | was soon made aware
that bathing was ont of the question,
the place being literally crowded with
caimans and alligatOrs of the most hid
eous aspect, which hang under the
overhanging boughs to capture the I'M
wary and incautious.
Scarcely a month passes without
some fearful accident occurring, and
while | was there, a huge monster
snapped up beautiful girl, who was
STOPPING to fill gourd of water.
myself should have run great risk
but that having been warned, during
my stay at the mission, | collected all
the idle boys in the village and set
them to watch the banks and shout,
which they did to such an extent as
even to alarm the most ferocious sau-
rians TO distance.
| was most kindly received at the
mission, and invited to make the con-
vent my home during the whole Of my
stay.
The convent isa square building with
two wings. The principal reception
chamber, which is also the refectOry,
stands in the middle, while tile side
squares are divided into rows of cells,
six of which are occupied by the monks
and their friends while the others are
used as entrepots, shop. cellar and
barn.

fathers were puzzled how to dispose of
me, when myself'proposed to sleep in
church. This chapel, which is dedi-
Gated to the Virgin, is, though very
small, divided into a nave and two
chapels. The place was ventilated by
means of four windows without glass
or shutters, which enabled the air to
pass freely.
In a climate as hot as that of Peru,
this did not, at first sight, appear any
inconvenience. | therefore unrolled
my thin cotton mattress, the constant
companion Of my travels, and prepared
my bed. Having ridden considerable
distance, was fatigued, and so, after
partaking of very hospitable supper,
| retired to my couch in search of re-
pose.

L was awoke by strange noise. 1rose

not for one moment believe in, but the
Indians of the village did not bear the
best character for honesty.
"WhO comes ?' cried in the native
dialect.
No answer.
L recollected having removed from
the head of my bed broom. which as
very much in ny way, and determined
not TO be robbed with Impunity, /
struck right and left.
At this moment the moon came out
from behind cloud in all its glory.
The secre. was out.
Through the open window a number
of night birds, owls, bats and many
others unknown to temperate climes,
had come in search of food. The oil
smelling very powerfully had attracted
their notice.
Their first proceeding was to snuff
out the light with their wings, after
which one and all rushed to banquet on
the savory liquid.
My indignation was so fully aroused
that struck wildly in every direction,
nor did | rest until every bird was
forcibly expelled.
l lay down again to get what slumber
could, but when, next day, the ques-
tion of sleeping arose, l strongly OBJ
jected TO pass the night in place with
an open window.

A Terrible Disaster.

Recently the passenger tram south
on the KeOkuk division was lifting 1t.
self right of the rails. She was run
ming 50 fast the noise of the wheels was
rattling along about two hundred yards
behind the train, doing its level best tt
keep in sight but losing ground every
jump. Suddenly the train stopped
Away out between stations, no cattle
on the track, no water tank in sight
nothing apparently to stop for. She
pulled up so close to an orchard that
the farmer came out and sat on the
fence with a gun in his hand and a cou-
pie of bold, bad dogs, looking deceit
fully pleasant tagging along at his heels.
He evidently didn't care about setting
up the apples. The passengers were
alarmed, not at the determined neutral
ity of the farmer, but at the sudden
| stoppage of the train. They knew
something serious had happened.
Presently the fireman came walking
down alongside the track, looking care
fully. as though he had dropped his
diamong ring out OF the cab window.
''What is il 20 asked the first passen-
ger.
"What is the matter:" asked the Sc
cond passenger.
"What has happened?" asked the
third passenger.
sslEhat hraI-. ,I.
senger.
"why did we stop?" asked the fifth
passenger.
What's up?" asked the sixth pas
senger.
"What's broke loose 2" asked the sew
enth passenger.
''What done it?" asked the eighth
passenger.
"BrOke spring hanger" gravely
replied the fireman, and passed on, and
all the questioning passengers drew
their heads back and closed their WIN
dows, and with great gravity was re-
peated the firenan's statement to the
other passengers who had not been able
TO get 10 window in time to ask the
fireman anything:
BROKE a spring hammer.
''BrOke a sling hammer"
Broke a screen hanger"
''Broke string hammer"
''Broke a sting ander."
"Broke a scene hammer"
''BrOke n steam hammer"
Broke a swing hanger"
We all supposed that when a spring
hanger broke, it just tore the engine all
to pieces, stood it on end and rammed it
into the ground, and tEen ran on ahead
tore up the track, set fire to a bridge
and blew up culvert. The average
passenger has an idea that a spring
hanger owns about the whole engine,
that it is one OF those things that can
even swear at a brakeman and walk W
to baggageman and call him a a"wood-
Ell headed, flat backed, trunk liftin'
hurricane of wrath, and consequently
when passenger is told that the spring
hanger broke, he has an impression
that 1t will take every last dollar there
is on the train to set the old thing up
again.
