Yet for some moments his arm had been
around her slender waist.
At the reception she talked with him,
and found him dull. She looked at him.
He might be called handsome, but was
awkward. When he sat down he was
prone to sprawl. He stood with his head
forward. and stumbled ungracefully in
his walk. She flushed with annoyance,
left him and went into the conservatory
with a man more of her taste.
She found him one evening at the
house OF a friend. She conversed easily
on topics of general interest. He sat in
chair too low for him, and his feet were
painfully apparent. She disdainfully
turned her shoulder to ward him. Pres
emily she rose to go and dropped her
handkerchief. He bent lightly forward
and caught it up almost before it touched
the carpet. As an intimate friend at the
house, he prepared to see her home. He
arranged her cloak with eager Difference,
and she smiled He trampled on her
skirt as she passed out-cf the door, and
she frowned
They arrived at her gate he pushed 1t
open, took off his hat, and almost ran
away.
One day she was coming home from a
shopping expedition with small parcel
in her hand. He came up with her, bowed
awkwardly, blushed, and asked If he
might take her parcel. lie did not say
much, but listened in adnring silence.
When he left her she laughed, and said
he was intolerably stupid, yet not bore.
Pretty soon he began to call often, and
attended her TO the opera and theater
when she would permit him. He was
always near her, and anxious to be OF
service. He was manly, and among men
favorite He rode well, but danced in
differently. The other girls laughed at
him, but he did not heed it. She danced
perfectly, was talkative, daring, impul-
sive.
She snubbed him. and shook him of
for more accomplished men.
He finally said he loved her. She
laughed, said impossible" tormented
him, neglected him, refused more eligible
suitors, and finally married him and
adored him for all time. rs
or such is the nature Of woman.

ing in the peaceful ways of grangering,
he smiled and said their manner was
odd. Every year they seem to know less
about how to farm. This is attributable
to the fact that they are learning the
ways of the whites too rapidly. They
begin to understand that as soon as they
can grow crops their rations will be cut
off, and hence their growing ignorance
ofagriculture 1tthey are given bushel
ofbesns to plant, they will eat nine-tenths
Of the amount ana plant one tenth, and
the one-tenth will be dropped in three
or four holes in the ground. Last spring
they were furnished with five bushels Of
onion seeds. They couldn't eat them,
and consequently planted the entire Ave
bushels on piece of ground fifty by 100
feet. Thev were too lazy to prepare a
larger patch; besides it would have been
contrary to their policy of maintaining
the ration system. When the onions
came up it was curions sight to see the
young stinkers crowd each other. The
whole dry, naked surface OF the ground
was raised up ON the top Of the sproutipg
plants. 1t is our iniormsnt's opinion
tn at the present generation OF Injuns will
not make successful grangers.

Failing Thirty Feet In sleep.
Montreal Witness.

A thrilling event happened some nights
since on st. Antoine street. west, and has
since been the subject Of conversation
among those Immediately concerned, but
has been most iealously concealed from
the general public. A young woman en-
gagged as a domestic eryant with fami-
ly living on st. Antoine street, near st.
Martin, has been in the habit OF walking
in her sleep. Her bed room is in the
third story OF attic, and its window is
some thirty feet or more from the 81 ie-
walk. During her somnambulistic wan
derings on the nightin question she went
to the window, broke through the double
window and fell with heavy thud on
the sidewalk below. This was after mid
night and a neighbor living across the
street observed white figure PROSTATE
on the sidewalk. He watched it, but
could not see it distinctly. 1t crawled
slowly out into the middle of the street,
which was in shocking muddy condi
ton and then turned along toward the
city. The movement Of this white figure
was peculiar but he naturally believed II
to be large white dog. The figure how
ever appeared to rise up and stagger for
ward like drunken woman. The som
nambulst must have turned again, for
the girl says that when she regained con
sciousness she was standing on the cor
ner of Cheatham street attired in her
night-gown. She rose and returned TO

the window, which is some thirty feet
from the ground, and the hole in it is
large enough for her body to pass through.

Denver Coll Tribune.
Apropos of Gen. Sherman's visit to
Denver, a story is told of the Generals
experience with Henry Clay Dean. Tie
two had been friends for years, and when
sherman became General and Dean hap
pened to be in Washington, the latter,
naturally enough, felt desire to renew
the old acquaintance. So he called at
sherman's house, and the Gen sral receiy-
ed him with open arms. They talked over
old times, and nothing would do but
Dean must stay to dinner. But Gener-
al" demonstrated Mrs. Sherman in her
husbands ear, 81 can't have such dirty
looking man at my table; can't you
spruce him up little?" The General
said he'd fix that, and 30 at an opportune
moment he hustled Mr.. Dean upstairs
ransacked a bureau, and produced clean
shirt for him to put on. Mrs. Sherman
was Modified and the dinner was really
charming affair, for there is no more
delightful, entertaining and instructive
conversationalist than Henry Clay Dean.
One year after this event Gen. Sherman
was at the Endell Hotel, st. Louis, with
his family card was brouyht up bear
ing Henry Clay Deans name. Mr.. Sher.
man was very much pleased. "iie is such
charming talker, we must have him to
dinner. On'y you must see that he looks
presentable." These were madams words
TO the warrior. So Sherman welcomed
Dean, and, just before going to dinner,
slipped him into side room and gave
him clean shirt TO wear. Dean dofied
his coat and vest, and, after briefstrug-
gle, divested himself of the shirt he had
"a soied, grimy, black thing that look
ed as If it had seen long and hard service.
Then they ali went down to dinner, and
Mr.. Dean was more charming than ever
and Mrs. Sherman was in ecstssies. The
next day, as Mrs. Sherman was getting
Ler husbands duds and clothes together,
preparatory to packing them for the on
ward march, she gave a sort ofa Wild

called the General from the next room.

Mrs. Sherman, between faint gasps. The
General went in. There stood Mrs. Sher.

With her right hand she pointed to GER

These great organs Of life, as known to
every one are most intimately related to
each other. and where one is caused to
suffer, the other two on account of their
sympathetic connection, are unavoldably
made TO feel the evil effects. Therefore,
when distressed with symptoms OF disease
incidental to either organ, medicine that

Friendship,

II YOU desire to retain your friends
don't set yourself up for social critic,
for criticism in its kindest form is hard
to bear. 1t is not pleasant TO be ever re-
minded of our Shortcomings and errors.
Do not swallow up all courtesy. Many OF
us have the habit of saying those with
whom we are familiar such things as we
would say about strangers behind their
backs There is no place where real po.
liteness is more valuable than where we
usually think it superfluous. You may
say more truth, or speak out NOR, plainly
to your associates, but not less courteous
ly than to strangers. Again, we must not
expect more from the society of our
friends than it can give, especially must
not expect contrary things. If we are pet.
ulant. unkind or disagre6 able, we can
not expect others to be all kindness and
forbearance. Intimate friends should be
careful when they go out into the world
that they do not make bad use of the
knowledge they have gained of each
other by their intimacy. Nothing is
more common than this, and did it not
usually proceed rom mere carelessness
ii would be unpardonsble. You seldom
need wait for the written life of any one
to hear about their weaknesses, or what
are supposed TO be such, If you know
their intimate friends. II seems to he
the privilege of friends to talk freely
about each other.
