leaving the sexton alone in the vault
with his silent companions.
There was nothing TO disturb his
tranquility during the early part Of the
night. Everything was quiet and still
until about one o'clock, and then there
was gentle noise, as though some one
were tampering with the vault lock.
Mr.. X. took up his lantern, and the
noise stopped for q few moments only
to begin again when he laid down on
his blanket. This time it appeared to
be in an opposite corner of the vault.
He could see nothing and could only
hear that steady scratch, scratch, which
became more and more distinct every
instant. Mr.. Il. is brave man, but he
confesses that when locked in a vault
with six dead men, with no living soul
within half mile, and at that early
hour to have such an unexplainable
noise as that, it was more than men
with ordinary nerves can stand. At
any rate, his hair began to raise, and
just as he was thinking of the best way
to defend himself against his spiritual
foes, little chip-munk dashed from a
dark corner, ran past him and darted
out between the bars in the vault door,
From that time on nothing occurred to
mar his quiet watch, but in the morning
he was rather glad to be released from
his dull quarters. Toledo Blade.

Tall and Short Men.

Just after left Honcoye Falls tall
man sat down in the seat in front of
me. had noticed him standing wearily
about on the platform, and l pitied
him. My heart was full of sympathy
for him. l am always sorry for tall
man. Sometimes, when l get before
an audience, and have to stand on my
tip-toes to look over the foot-lights, l
wish l was a trife taller than am.
But this longing is only momentary. 1t
passes away as soon as l see an un-
usually tall man. You see, a very tall
man is always pursued, haunted by one
unvarying joke. Every short or ordi-
nary-sized man that approaches him
throws back his head, affects to gaze
up into the heavens with very pain
full effort, and asks, "Isn't it pretty
cold up where you are?" just watch
the next short man you see meet tall
one and see if this conundrum doesn't
follow the first greeting. just watch,
and see if you do not ask it yourself.
And this must be dreadfully wearing on
the tall man. l have observed that as
a rule big men, tall men, are good ma
tured. 1t is we little fellows who have
waspiSh tempers. So the tall man
never resents this venerable joke by
sitting down on the man who gets it
off. He smiles drearily, and with a
weary effort to appear interested, and
tries to look as though he never heard
it before. 1t must be perfect torture
for the tall man to hear this question
fifty times a day for thirty or forty
years. Sometimes, when hear a dozen
men ask a tall man of my acquaintance
this question, in direct succession, and
see him endure it so patiently, wish l
was the Colossus of Rhodes, and little
man four feet eleven and a half, would
come up to me some day when 1 felt
right good and stare up at me with a
grin longer than his body, and ask me
"If it wasn't pretty cold up thereP"
and would hold him up by the neck,
and would swing my brazen leg until
it got the motion and impetus of a
walking beam, and then would kick
the little follow so high that he could
read the names of the streets on the
street lamps in Uranus, and 1 would
sarcastically shout after him, "No, it s
red hotr' Have tall men no rights
that we who live eight or ten inches
nearer the earth, are bound to respectP

Who Killed Him 2

The other night as old Blinks, who
presides over the cash-keeper of a faro
game, sat listening TO the various opin-
ions expressed about our Indian trou-
bles, he felt constrained to relate some
of his own experiences with the Indians,
prefacing his remarks with the asser-
ton that not one man in 10000 knows
anything about the subject. Said he:
"You give me 100 men as brave as my
self, who would rely on me for strategy,
and follow where 1 would lead, and
we'd whip all the tribes between here
and Alaska!'
Blinks proceeded to state that in the
early days of Texas he commenced the
subjugation of an Indian tribe all on
his own hook. He was both infantry
and cavalry, and his courage and willy
tactics appalled, the Indians more than
an ordinary army corps would have
done. He maintained this uneven war
fare for several months, until one day
he found himself some 800 miles within
the Indian Territory, where no white
man had ever been before. AS he was
passing through defle in the mount
aims 1,500 Indians surrounded him.
They had closed every avenue of escape;
abrupt mountains lowered on either
hand, their sides lined with savages;
several hundred guarded the pass ahead
of him, while an equal number had
closed in upon his rear. To escape was
mpossible; the odds we're too great to
give battle, so he majestically surren-
dered and defantly told them to deal
with him as they pleased. The delight
of the Indians at capturing such an inn
portant and dreaded enemy prevented
them from killing him at once, and
they were two days in council trying
to invent some more horrible torture
and manner of death than they had
ever practiced before.
BY this time old Blinks had got him
self hopelessly entangled, and the
crowd around the game, seeing his
dilemma, demanded at once to know
how he had got out of such fix. Blinks
coughed and SPARED for time" hop
ing to invent some way to wind up the
story, but his Imagination "fell down"
on him, and the boys kept pressing him.
He told of his thirst and described his
thoughts, trusting that some idea would
come to his rescue. The crowd, be-
coming more and more aware of his
predicament, interrupted, distracted
and confused him SO much he could
think of no way out, so, bringing his
fist down on the table with a thump,
and, with look of earnest sincerity,
said: "By George, boys, they killed
me. ."-CarSOn appeal

Down Among the Dead Men.

Not long ago the widow of a gentle
man who had recently died desired the
vault wherein the remains had been
temporarily placed to be watched, so
that body-snatchers could have no OPP
portunity to ply their nefarious call
ing. Thinking that the vault would be
watched better by the sexton than any
one else, Mr.. Ladoone was hired to keep
a sharp lookout At dark he took a
lantern and blanket and made up a bed
in front of the vault, so that any one
approaching it would have to step over
his body. But after lying there some-
time it grew quite cold, and he thought
he could watch the corpse just as well
If he were inside the vault out of the
cold. So he unlocked the vault and
went in, but found that he could not
lock the vault from the inside. That
would never do, and yet he was deter
mined not TO stay outside.
Finally he went back TO the house and
reused his hired man and the two went
back TO the vault. Mr.. II. then took
his lantern and blanket and went in
side, made bed on the floor, and laid
down for the night, having for COM
panions to while away the tedious
hours six corpscs. The attendant locked
the door from the outside and went
back to the house and his warm bed,

An Indiana Curiosity,


The tower of the court house ut
Greensburg, Ind, is 140 feet in height
One hundred and five feet from the
ground is the water sheet of the tower,
and above that it is covered with dress
ed stone, made to fit closely, in slabs
two by five feet, inclining an angle of
about thirty degrees from upright.
In the summer of 1870 a citizen of
the place was examining the tower with
a glass when he observed, springing
from the third crevice about the water
sheet on the east side of the tower, 40
feet from the ground, little twig. But
little was thought of it, and It was
scarcely discernible with the naked eye.
The next spring some interest was ex-
hibited to know if the miniature tree in
its strange and exposed position had
survived the wintry blasts. 1t had sur
vived, and when sun and spring show
ers came on, put out its leaves plenti-
fully and grew luxuriantly all the sea-
son. By this time it was easily seen
with the eye, but as it could not be APP
preached in any ordinary manner near
er than from the roofs of the buildings
on the opposite side of the street, its
third spring it put forth again with re-
newed life, vigor and size. Instead of
dwindling and dropping from the effects
of the winters cold or the summers
heat and drought, the atmosphere of
justice from below seemed to cause il
to flourish extraordinarily. This season
it was decided to be a silver maple,
sprung, no doubt, from a seed carried
by bird or whirlwind, and lodged in
that exalted place. By this time the
tree had become famous. Accounts of
it had appeared in the papers; but the
story was not generally believed.
But, nevertheless, the tree lived and
grew. 1t was there, and no mistake.
And so it has continued until this day.
1t is now more than twelve feet high,
and is thought to be three inches in
diameter. The top is quite bushy, and,
in the summer season, the leaves are
numerous and luXuriant. 1t can be
seen for many miles around, and the
stranger approaching first sees the
tower, and then this phenomenon.
The rapid growth of the tree is fore
ing the stones apart. This can readily
be seen with glass. Ere long the
ambitious maple will have to be brought
lower or damage to the building follow.
The Sheriff has already had several ap-
plications from expert climbers to take
it down, but the people will not permit
their tree to be removed yet. An artist
representing New York illustrated
paper called to sketch the curiosity,
but the leaves were off, and he post
poned it until a more favorable time.
Persons approaching the place from
Cincinnati get good view of it by
looking from the north windows as
they draw near Greensburg. Of course
it appears to much greater advantage
when in full leaf, and at such time it
is indeed a strange curiosity. - Chicago

Red Glover Hay for Sheep.

Red clover hay cut at the proper
time and safely housed without being
wet after willing is the best hay for
sheep. With supply of such hay
throughsthe winter, sheep will keep fat
and healthy as on good pasture. Millet
and Hungarian grass resemble grain in
their growth, and are very exhausting
to the soil, white clover and other per-
ennial grasses serve to maintain its fer
tility. Farmers in new countries abuse
and exhaust the soil more in a dozen
years than they should in fifty, if the
business was pursued on the virgin
soils, as necessity compels after the
first twenty years. Farmers who turn
their attention to diversified agriculture,
and the cultivation of tame grasses,
will, dozen years hence, stand at the
head of their guild, If this term is al
lowable, applied to the great agricul-
tural brotherhood. Kansas Farmer.
