ADVERTISING THAT PAID,

Johnny Manning, the Sheriff OF
Oeadwood, D. T., was in ST..
Louis on business, and be re-
| membered that year before d
St. Louis man bad been up to
Deadwood and left owing man
several hundred dollars, which
was to be paid as soon as he got
home. Manning met the man in
St. Louis, and be said be would
hand him the money next day,
but the days passed and the
money did not come, though the
man was amply able 10 pay. So
one morning Manning inserted a
personal in a newspaper to the e
effect that if the man who left
Deadwood between two days did
not pay the money he forgot to
pay, before night, the whole cir
cumstance would be published the
next day. The notice was signed
John Manning, Sheriff of Dead
wood Before nine o'clock a young
man called at Manning's hotel and
said be had come to pay s22 be
had borrowed to get out Dead
wood. Manning found out who
the money was borrowed from,
and took it to carry to the Dead
wood citizen, remarking that he
was not the man referred to, but
it was a mighty mean sheriff who
would not carry money to a
friend. The next man to call was
the one he wanted, and he paid
the money and apologized, and
begged the Sheriff TO say nothing
about it. During the day seven
citizens of St. Louis called on
Manning and paid him money for
citizens Of Deadwood: believing
the Sheriff had reference to them
in his notice; and after be had
gone away, another citizen called
and asked the clerk for Manning,
but the clerk said the other fel-
lows had all been there and paid
up and this man had better keep
his money. The Sheriff said be
always thought advertising paid,
but he never had it demonstrated
to his satisfaction before.

SsIseteH Story,
CHARLES MARSHALL.
r. Story with a Moral.

OunS CnaflcS MaEShall was
spending the summer vacation
with his college chum, Fred Dav-
export. The Marshalls who lived
in al adjoining State, were people
in quito moderate circumstances,
and Charles had been brought up
to practice pretty strict economy.
The elegant living and lavish
hospitality he found at the fine
Davenport residence was a strlk-
ing novelty to him.
He enjoyed it all exceedingly,
and was greatly fattered by the
polite and ccnsiderate attention
he received, although he did not
approve Of some Of the ways of
the household, which were unfa-
miliar to him. Sometimes be
would indulge in satirical COM
meuts, which he doubtless thought
to be very smart, but which were,
in reality, unbecoming and rude.
One damp, rainy day, Miss Mar
gsret, his chum's sister, stood by
the open library fire cutting into
narrow strips letter she had
that morning received and had
Just read. She then deftly twisted
them into paper-lighters, placing
them one by one as they were
finished into a quaint old green
porcelain jar that stood on the
| carved mantei.
Young Marshall at the time was
loungiug in an easy-chair near oy'
watching the fair girl with an
amused look as she rapidly wound
the dainty spirals. At length 10
spoke up in sarcastic tone OF
voice, What queer ideas OF econ

There is a persistency in the
life of right-doing which is more
influential as q moral agent than
the highest conceptions OF ab'
stract goodness or the most
eloquent appeals to noble senti-
ment. No power equals that of a
life well spent no force is so great
as that of character. For to be
wisely and nobly persistent in
anything the whole nature must
be in love with it and loyal to 1t,
aod must, in some degree, be as
simulated With it and permeated
by it.

JOB PREVTKJVG
TIGER HUNTING.

10 1898, in the month of April,
when encamped at Sirpur, the
villagers gave Outram informa-
tion of tiger that had been
marked down III the thorny jangal
TO the north of the village. This
part Of the country was plain,
and there was no hill or ravine
near. Outram started on foot,
spear in hand, follower carrying
rife, and some six others bows
and arrows. The tiger broke
ground on their approach. Out
ram followed him OF foot three
miles, and eventually speared him
to death. This act, it is affirmed,
has never been equaled before or
since in Kandesh. On another
occasion be stood spear in haad,
like a gladiator in the arena Of q
Roman amphitheater ready for
the throwing open of the wild
beasts cage. The bushes were
set on fire to, and the tiger by no
means relishing the smoke, came /,
putting and blowing like a por-
poise, every five or six seconds, J.
to get little fresh air, but, scent.
ing the elephant, he was always
fain to retreat again. This sort
of work went Oh for some time,
and bush after bush blazed away
without producing the desired
effect. I could not have stood the
suspense when life was at stake.
At last there was a low, angry
growl, and a. scuf1ing rustic in
the passage. The tiger sprang
out, and down descended the long
lance into his neck, just behind
the dexter ear. With one stroke
of his powerful paw he smashed
| the spear close to the head. There
| was pretty business. Mr.. Tiger
one step below, with the steel
sticking in his neck, which by no
means improved his temper, had
gathered his huge hindquarters
below him for a desperate spring,
and my friend, armed after the
| fashion Of the South Sea Island
| ers, standing on a little mound,
breathing defiance and brandish-
| ing his bamboo on high. Event
ually the tiger was shot by one
of the party. Outram had some
| narrow escapes. ODce, while pur-
suing tiger on foot, his COM
panion being on horseback, the
animal charged, seized Outram,
and rolled down the hill with him.
Being released from the claws
oe the ferocious beast for mo-
ment, Outram, with great pres
ence of mind, drew pistolbe had
with him, and shot the tiger dead.
The Bhils, on seeing that be had
been injured, were one and all
loud in their grief and expressions
Of regret; but Outram quieted
them with the remark: What
do I care for the clawing of

the Bhils for mauy years after
ward, and may be so until this
day.

The wear and tear Of life come
chiefly from .straining after the
impossible. Nervous excitement,
alternate hopes and disappoint-
ments, unavailing struggles, fe-
verish anxieties, bitter failures
these are the worst enemies Of
health and happiness, the most
fatal destroyers Of peace and
prosperity. They come for the
most part from taking up need.

So far from persistence being an
associate of weakness and in
feriority, 1t is itself a power which
underIies and upholds all others,
and without which they could
never develop into value or eff

ferior man is he who, whatever
may be his latent abilities, lacks
the force requisite to make the
most of them.

That in childhood's hours fell Swectly
Upon my listening ear,
Of God and His wondrous mercy
Through many 4 weary year

Why, the prayer that my mother taught me

And its mighty power would fade.
You may turn in your search for knowledge
And say that the new is best
For me, can only wonder
That man should have made this test.
So give me my plain old Bible,
That read when was child,

And never was saint more mild.

To words that are cold, estrangcd;

How an Arm WAS saved.

AT the battles of Antictam and South
Mountain colonel was woundcd-his arm
fcarfully shattcrcd-and he was borne
from the field by his brothers and a private
soldier. They carried him across the
country long and toilsome distance, every
step of which was torture to the sufferer,
to she house Of Maryland Union farmer.
Then came the ubiquitous Yankee surgeon
with his glittering knives and cruel saws.
and made hasty preparations to amputate
the ailing member. The farmer vehement
ly protested, declaring that the man would
die IL the arm was cut off. The surgeon
insisted that the patient would die if the
arm was not taken off, and tho ColoDcps
brothers coincIdcd with the surgeon. But
the determined old farmer dispatched his
son on his tlectest horse across the fields 10
the other side Of the mountain after his
! friend and ncighbor, Il country physician,
and rank rebel. When the rustic Escu.
lapius arrived there ensucd a long conten.
ton with the Yankee hewer of bones over
the sufferer, but the result was that the
arm was saved, and after some weeks oi
careful nursing, the Colonel gallopcd Off tc
| join his regiment, a comparatively SOUND
man. He subsequently became Governor
of Ohio, and now fills the Presidcntiu
