"Grizaly Dam the hero of Montana,
led wonderful life He was once set
upon by a whole tribe of Indians and
obliged to run for his life He headed
for cliff 700 feet high, lodging the
bullets fired at him as he ran, being
able through long practice to tell the
course of ball by the sound as it APP
preached from the rear. Grizzly Dan
unhesitatingly leapcd over the cliff, to
the amazcment of the Indians. As he
was falling Dan turned, raised his
Winchester rife to his shoulder and
pulled the trigger An Indian toppled
over with ball through his left eye,
and while he kept falling Dan kept
pulling the trigger until seventeen red
skins had balls through their left eyes
and were falling over the cliff after
him. The eighteenth shot only carried
away an Indians nose, as the air was
so full of falling Indians between and
the top of the cliff that his aim was
little confused. He struck feet fore
most in the river below, and swan
to the opposite shore before the last
Indians dead body struck the water.

MES of bees, intended for New Zealand.
Each colony is accompanied by an Ital.
ian queen, including the one that took
the prize at the recent fair The boxes

ney is about two feet in length by foot
and a half in height and breadth. Each

ticiently humid The matter of venti-
lation is provided for by means of sew
eral auger-holes in the bottom of the
hives and an aperture in the top, fitted

Outrage on Mallory De Smith.
Galveston News.

Galveston News.
There is reason to hope that Calves
tons musical fiend, Mallory De Smith,
has beens quelched, if not permanently,
for a season at least At little social
gathering recently he produced his in
evitable violin, and upon it produced,
as usual, way Down on the Swanee
River" To his amazement, everybody
applauded vociferously, after listening
with rapt attention, instead of strolling
about the premises until he got through
his murderous work. Such express
sions as That gets away with Will
helm" you bet there is soul in that"
thrilled him with rapture. After the
applause had subsidized, one of the loud
est applauders approached De Smith,
and said;
That piece was delightful, | never
heard it before; but would you be kind
enough to play my favorite piece?n
Certainly; what is it?''
Way Down on the Swanee River"
The instrument of torture sank from
his nerveless grasp, aud, after restor-
atlves had been applied, the fiend was
taken home in a hack The BOYS had
put up Il job on him.

The Princess Of Wales Collar.

II is amusing, says the London Globe,
to lind leading French newspaper DO
litely patronizng the princess of Wales.
The Ftgoro gravely excaims to its
readers how most of the fashions of past
times were due to the anxiety to some
relgnng beauty either to conceal %
blemiSh or to display charm. La
beHe feITOHHiere had the misfortune
to burn her forehead. The accident left
an awkward scar, which the famous
beauty crafty covered with a gem, and
from that time all the ladies' of the
French court--who were not ugly and
venomous precious Jewels on
their brows. Anne of Austria had love-
ly arms; but small is the worth of beau
ty from the sight retired. The queen
shortened her sleeves to show her arms,
and all the artists of the day had to
paint wrists and elbows as well as hand
and faces
Nine de Pompadour was little, and
so she thought it best to wear high
heels indeed Louis XIV. was of the
same opinion, and for the same reason,
so that when he died we read that his
insignificant stature astonished his
courtiers and gave avery literal illustra-
tion of the motto, W0rS sofa totetuy
q0aRtHio &Ht hOmiRum co,pusculo.
But Nine. de Pompadour, as well as
being short woman was also great
invalid, and so she introduced those
beautiful dressing gowns knotted with
lace and ribbon which soon were worn
at every court in Europe. Poor Marie
Antoinette, in her anxiety to display her
lovely blonde cheru'Ue, piled her flaxen
locks upon cushion and wore tho
crown Of France several inches above
her head, while the empress Josephine,
'to exhibit her figure, at once Greek
and Creole" invented caohemire and
brought its use into fashion, Thus, at
last, we come to our own times ana our
own princess; but lest the transition
might seem too audacious the thought.
ful Journalist introduces It by a guarded
sentence. The sceptre of Fashionable
says--has fallen into her hands; since
there are no more sovereigns in France.
And then at last we learn the new
fashion. She wears on her swan-like
neck ruches of lace and velvet collars
with silver carvings.

SAFE AGENT No. l had just taken his

circumstance about the kind OF safe he

locked up. That night the building
burned, and it was terrible hot fire.
In few days, when Trey were ab'e
TO get at the safe and open 1t, what do
you Jhink?"
"WelI, l SUPPOSE" said the safe
