BOUND TO HAVE IT.

Elder Traverse was once the most
noted man in eastern New York as a
camp meeting leader.
lie had a powerful voice, was a fluent
speaker, and in the prime of life could
get away with any man who tried tC
disturb his meetings.
The elder was once holding q meeting
near Innkrrs, and word reached him
that notorious rough known as Chi
cago Bob" intended to be- on hand Sun
day for row.
He made no reply and took no pre-
cautions, and when Bob appeared on
the grounds with cigar in his mouth
and a Slug-Shot in his sleeve, the elder
didn't grow pal" for cent.
Bob came there to run things and he
| took forward seat.
| When the people started to sing he
began Growing and thus created great
| confusion.
"Rohert, you had better sit down,
said the elder, as he approached little
forward
"Chicago Bob sits down for no man, y
was the reply.
''Sit down Robert" continued the
elder, as he put his hand on the loater's $
arm.
"llcre goes to clean ont the whole
crowd, crowcd Bob, rs he pulled OIL
coat.
Next instant the elder hit him under
the ear, and, as hc fell over q bench,
followed up ard hit again, and
again, and while in semi-uncon-
Scions state he was carried OFT by his
friends.
Next DAY he was the first to so for
ward for prayers.
The elIcrp put his hand on his head and
asked:
Robert are Nouin earnest"
II am
Are you really seeking after taith?'
A4You bet am. II faith helps man
to get in his work as quick AZ you did
yesterday I'm bound to have 1t if | have
to sell my hat"
He did not get livery strong, hut he
did no mare Growing while the meeting
lasted.
Several people were making pur-
chases i'll Il Woodward avenue grocery
store yesterday when an old man with
n cane in one hand and bundle in the
other stood in the door and asked:
'Did any of you drive up here in
sleigh"
"Yes, ] did" replied one.
WAS it an old white horse?"
'Yes?"
"And an old woman in cutter?''
"Yes"
"And can she manage the horse?"
II guess she can
'Then it's all right" said the man. of
the cane and bundle" The old horse
has run away and the old woman is
hanging to the dashboard and yelling
murder with all her might, but if she |
can manage him there's no use of any
body getting excited over it. Let me
inquire what the price Of oranberries is
to-day"
The other night Bickles went home
and found his wife particularly retro
spectiye. She talked of the past with IL
tear and looked to the future with many
sighs.
"Oh, by the way" said Bic&les, as
he sat on the side of the bed pulling off
his boots, ~ saw gentleman down

"Who was he? Does he live in little

errors in a letter from Fort Laramie
dated 23rd inst, as published in your
issue of the Goth inst. The desertions
from this post last "pay day." the
spring opening, numbered eleven, and
that fromSfour distinct organizations
not two small companies, as stated in
the letter referred to. They were
mostly recruits. The maximum, not
the minimum amount Of work is re-
quired of the soldiers here. New
officers and mems quarters are being
rapidly constructed, on which the SOL
diers are employed. Work Is supposed
to be the cause Of the unusual number
of desertions, although several Of the
men who belonged to the band deserted
which merely indicates that deser-
tions are occasioned by causes as varied,
as the temperamentso of the men, This
fort Is the rendezvous for deserters from
all the posts IN tho department, zen
