SOL HAAS. Traffic Manager III
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1882-03-25

Some Scotch persons have a habit Of
interfering the personal prenoun he
when n required. Instead Of saying
the king has come, they would say the
king he has come. It is reported Of one
that commenced a sermon IN the follow
ing style: "My dear friends, we shall
take for u consideration this evening
the first epistle general of the apostle
Peter Chapter ". verse 81: "And the
devil goeth about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour." Now,
my dear friends, with your kind per.
mission, ! shall divide the subject of u
text into four heads. In the first place.
We shall sndeavor to ascertain who the
devil he was, secondly, we shall inquire
into his geographical position, namely,
where the devil he was, and where the
devil he was going, thirdly, and this is
of personal character, who the devil
he was seeking; and fourthly and last
~, We shall endeavor to solve a problem
that HAS neve yet been solved, what
the devil he wac roaring at.'--Ex.

A Kiss on the Sly.

There is to be found much Icfresh-
ment in n we'll proportional kiss. This
much everybody acknowledges, though
only a frank few have the courage to ac
knowledge it openly. AS it il curious
fact, yet unexplained by the philoso-
pliers, that the slyer the kiss is the more
Is in it Of refreshment.
! kiss that IL paid as a forfeit before a
whole oom full Of people is prosaic, not
to say embarrassing. The girl laughs.
which spoils the romance, and the fel-
low, ten to one blushes--neither of them
thinking much of it, and they are both
apt pretty soon TO forget al! about it.
But let the same fellow kiss the same
girl when nobody is looking, and the
situation is as different as possible. Thu t
sort of a kiss, fired off in a hurry behind
the door or in II conservatory, is like an
electric shock, and is as sweet as cream.
The taste of it sort of holds on and con
stantly suggests the propriety-or inn
propriety, as the case may be-of trying
it again. And the laughing and blush
ing are exactly reversed. The fellow
laughs without spelling the romance a
bit, and the girl bushes like II pink
carnation.
1t is queer that the very same thing
should, under such slightly altered cir
cumstances, be so entirely different, nor
is it any the less queer because the diff
ference has existed from the earliest age
of the world.-Philadelphia Times.

Nature in her unkindest mood has rare

least heroic figure that ever bore off a
championship of any kind. There is
absolutely nothing In the man to dwell
on with satisfaction. More animal than
human, there is no touch of the thor

How a novelist Preached.


London Truth.
Charing Cross hotel stands OF the
site of Hungerford Market, as Hun.
geriOrd Market stood upon the site Of
the mansion of the impeeunious Sir
Edward hungerford, who was repre-
sented there bya bust, or rather BY
the wig which crowned the bust-a
precise reproduction in stone of the
very wig for which the spendthrift
baronet had given $500. Hard by
this bust cirea, 1917, stood two youths
as spendIhrift and impecunious, of
the genus loci, disconsolate and in a
great strait. They were Woolwich
cadets, bound under appalling penal
ties TO be at the barracks at an hour
new but too near. To get there by
foot, impossible for lack of time-by
boat, impossible for lack of money.
Therefore they stood most detect and
wretched under this bust and opposite
an orator who, from an inverted tub,
was preaching to a market crowd on
the subject Of charity. The
sermon done, the preacher, like that
Persian who was so moved by a
sermon on charity that he rushed
forthwith to beg from the first man he
met-the preacher, we say, similarly
impressed by his own elcquence, went
around with the hat, and presented il
among the rest to our vacuos viatores
The irony of the insult enraged The
one, but inspired the other. "Lool
herel" he said in hurried whisper t
his friend, IN preach while you
hand around the hat. Nod when yor
have got our fares" So saying, b,
sprang upon the inverted tub auC
preached a heart shaking sermon OIL
the doom of the wicked. So spell
bound was the audience that his frienC
with difficulty diverted their attention
to his held out hat. At last, however
he was able to signal the news by
nod that it held their fares in half
pence; and the preacher, breaking
short off in the midst Of an impas
stoned appeal to his audience to escap,
from the wrath to come, sprang from
the pulpit and through the confonndet
congregation to make a rush with hi
friend for the boat. This ready an
apt preacher was James Payne, age,
seventeen.

New Years Toilets.
PHILADELPHIA Times

The toilets now in course OF con
struction or just completed for the
coming receptions and festivities are
perfectly lovely. Some ladies' will
receive in full dinner dress, others in
evening half toilets, and still others in
the illuminated rooms appear in full
evening dresses, created in. fabrics
more like dreams than realities, with
laces, flowers and iridescent beads so
mingled with the dainty textiles that
one a easily conceive the robes
created by the magical aid Of fairies
rather than made by fingers of ordi
nary mortals.
0ne of the half evening dresses is
made Of terra Gotta satin, velvet and
brOcaded silk. The skirt Of satin is
bordered with founce, plating and

skirt is draped the broeaded silk. The
bodice is Of velvet, the shade OF the

basque skirts. It opens in front over

A GHOST \ G
Two Dramatic Incidents which

CAIRO, December 10, l882.-Carieue
society has been diverted By two incl
dents which, though trivial in their
nature, deserve TO be recorded. The
Peninsula and Oriental steamer
Malwa arrived the other day at Alex.
ahdria. When quite near the port an
Indian knife cleaner, who on the pre-,
vious night had got drunk and had to
undergo punishment the next morn
ing, committed suicide by quietly
slipping overheard after he had taken
care TO secure his sinking BY fastening
round his neck, chest and waist no less
than 600 Of the ships table knives
intrusted to his care. The ship was
stopped, and turned around, but all
the Efforts to rescue the unfortunate
man, with the much needed table
knives, were uRavailing. The cabin
passengers we're reduced so the use of
pea eaters" until the arrival at Alex.
andriA Singularly enough, the
Malva herself, like her knife cleaner,
was soon destined 10 find a watery
grave. Just as she was leaving Suez
yesterday, on her way to India, the
Malva collided with the Clan F0rber
and sunk. All her passengers were
fortunately saved-among whom was
Lord Charles Beresford, the gallant
commander Of the Condor during the
Alexandra bombardment, and who
after his promotion acted as one ofyOur
wal correspondents.
The second incident to which j re.
terred is the Captain Baker episode.
Ii seems that an excursion agency,
acc )rding to an arrangement made
with the British military authorities,
are in the habit of taking sick and
convalescent soldiers up the Nile aud
back in their steamers. Among the
passengers on one Of these steamers was
captain Baker, of the Royal Artillery
and also a sergeant named Beekman
The latter, just before the return Of
the steamer to Cairo, died on board
The doctor telegraphcd at once to the
proper authorities in Cairo announcing
Beekmsn's death and saying that the
funeral would take place at HASTEN.
Nil Bridge at nine o'clock on the
morning OF the 18th. By an error o
the Arabic telegraph clerk the nam,
Beekman got transformed into Baker
which is, By the way, a very common
name in Arabic and signifies dis
Greet" The result was that Captain
Bakers death was officially announced
in general orders, and just as thu
steamer arrived at Cairo two artillery
men appeared with an elegantly mad,
coffin bearing silver plates with en-
grAved inscriptions Of the dates of thl
birth and death of Captain Baker
, The artillerymen marched up to tn,
doctor, and salutiBg him, said tina
