A Curious Story About a Bill.
A kron News.

Akron News.
Curious experience sometimes
overtake railroad conductors. The
following is the substance of a story
in the Springfield Republican,
which is strange enough Many
years ago, one night while a con-
ductor on the Southern railroad
was t:king up fares, man without
a ticket offered him a large bill.
and he, AS conductors are apt to do,
took it along, saying he would soon
return the change. The purpose of
these del ,ys is to make quiet
study of the bill in a baggage car,
and see if it is all right. When he
reached the baggage car with the
bill. Mr.. Mckinney found what he
had taken to be 800 was a bill for
ZOO. He returned to the pas
senger and found that he had SHIFT
ed his seat. Telling him there was
a mistake-that the bill was for
81 .000-he was amazed to have the
fellow repudiate the whole arrange
mcnt. lie knew nothing of it, and
in>isted-and was supported by a
friends testlmony-that he had a
ticket. and that it had been taken
up. Finally, Mr.. Mcklnny wert
off with the bill, which the next
day he turned over to the company
with his explanation. 1t was &c
posted in the Phoenix Bank as a
special deposit, and drew Interest
for several years. was never clalmcd
and was finally given to the con-
ductor by the company. The only
explanation was that some bank
burglars were on the train; thai
one OF them carelessly took oat the
wrong bill, apd that it was tecideo
safer to lose 81 900 than to risk
being arrested. Probably they
thought he knew OF the burglary.

Chinese and Vaccination,

The obstinacy which the Chi
nese manifest in refusing to submit
themselves to the ordeal of vacci-
nation is one of the queer things in
race characteristics. The other
day a British steamer brought be-
tween 500 and 900 coolies to San
Francisco. The quarantine officers
went on board to vaccinate the
hcathen. 1t required strategy aud
severity combined to bring the
coolies mp to the dreaded knife.
They were finally made to march
in single file and the scaritication
began. Before a dozen had been
operated on it was discovered tha,
they were sucking the virus from
the wounds as fast as applied. Thc
surgeons then applied it al such {
point under the arm that they
could not reach it with the lips
The incorrigibles then began t,
perform the Office for each other
and finally had to be watched an,
guarded till the wounds dried
Some of them would resist as des
perately as though they were to b
beheaded.

That's Just Me.

Years ago into a wholesale groce-
ry store in this city walked a tall,

''if you shoulder that sack of coffee

''Done,' said the stranger.

Another fatal combat for the

Jones the pretty and only daughter
Of farmer living near Waketi Id.
The rivals had long been warm
personal friends until they became
enamored Of the Young lady, and
since that time the coldness be
tween them has grown into deadly
hate. In order to make their ii
valry disagreeable TO the object OF
their affections they endeavored Sc
to time their visits to her as not to
meet each other in her presence
A few nights since however, while
Bailey WAS talking to the young
lady Frazier came in, and they
were not long there before sarcas-
TIC allusions were made and replied
t.. the yonng lady all the time
trembling in terror at the wrath,
j glances which the men exchanged
and which Indicated that there wa
vet TO be trouble between them
Finally Bailey left, and soon after
wards Frazier followed hIm. A
hour afterwards the rivals met q
the road. Few words were ex
changed, for each understood tina
he was to have a struggle for hi
life. Bailey drew his knife an
made for Frazier, who, anticipatin
trouble, had picked up an axe froi

With naingling of surprise and
anger he exclaimed

asked, horrible suspicion flashing
upon him.
Dead - she hisscd, between

her as his thoughts reverted to the

at that instant being driven pas,

Twas the sweetest of all moments,
Greatest joy my heart e'er knew,
When my own dear sweetheart whispered,
"Trust me, darling, I'll be true"
we were out amidst the moonlight,
He was standing by my side,
When he asked me, Would love him,
Would be his own sweet bride 81
And I .elt that could trust him,
For in his eyes Of tenderest blue.
I could read the self-same sentence,
Trust me, darling, I'll be true"
Then his arms stole gently round me,
Say, dear friends, what could do7
He bent his head and softly kissed me,
Whispering, ''trust me, darling, I'll be
true.''
Then the little stars looked brighter,
Seemed to know my secret, too;
Twinkled, that the sky believed him,
When he whispered, "I'll be true

LEGEND OF POLK ISLAND.
By THEOPHOLUS TEXT.

Among certain tribes of the Fox
Indians is clumsy dialect rhyme,
which translate ae follows
.sLauyhing Eyes and the Weeping One.
Rivals in love shall be;
And both shall die, but one shall fly
ith a slayer o'er the sea.
And the Weeping one by the slayer shall
die,
And both be buried from mortal eye,
But no one their grave shall ses."
The gray-haired chieftains sa
that this is prophesy of the great
medicine Shaumee, made hundreds
of winters ago, and that such faith
was placed in his sayings that the
prophetic verso has been handed
down from generation to genera
ton, and has caused them to use
care in the choice Of names, and
never select "Laughing Eyes" or
CIV Weeping One" as the title for one
Of their dang ghters.
Whether this mythical rhyme
was evolved before or since the oe-
currence Of the following tragic
story, it certainly deserves place
among Indian legendary romances
Wlnonee (danghter of Koskokee
head chief OF q tribe of Fox In
dians, at that time located on the
bank of tho Mississippi, in the vi
cinity of Green Bay) had come ts
be designated as Laughing Eyes
from her mischic7ous orbs and gay
nature, while Leolona daughter o
a snb-chieD, from her dropping
plning disposition, had come to be
called the Weeping ono. This wa
looked upon by the aged seers o
the tribe as the fultillment of Shan
mee's prophecy. 1t also causee
dire forepodings among the nea
relatives of the girls, who were do
termincd to do all in their power t.
divert the fell stroke from them.
! The young and brilliant chief
Tocsin. had been a devotee of Leo
Iona, but changed to an infatuated
wooer Of Winonee, and the pro.
phetic rivalry began. The younI
warriors attentions we're not coun

of WinoEee, Koskekee not only re

him, with sage warning never

should he press the matter furtns
tho old chief felt sure Shaumee

After Eighteen Centuries.

The skeleton of woman with a
child has been discovered at Pom
peii in narrow street about
twelve feet above the level of the
ancient pavement. 1t is well
known that the catastrophe of 70
n. d. commenced with thick
shower OF small pumice stones, by
which the streets of Polnpeil were
covered up to. the roofs of the
houses. Stones were succeeded by
ashes, which became solid owing
to the action of successive showers
of boiling water and. these ashes
now form the top layer of the ma
tcrials which cover the ruins of
Pompeii. Most of the unhappy
beings who remained in the houses
aJter the eruption first reached tbs
town made their escape through
the windows, but the greater part
Of the tugltlves could have taken
but few steps, and must have
been quickly suffocated by the
poisonous fumes.
With one arm the moman whose
skeleton Las been found was clasps
the legs of the child, whose body
shows contraction in tbs arms and
legs and general cmaciation,
which lead lis to believe that tho
child must have been very i'll. It
was little boy about ten years OF
age. Doubtless the woman was
the mother Of tho child. Some jew
els found on the female skeleton
indicated a person of condition
two bracelets of gold encircled the
arm which held the boy, and on
the hand were two gold rings, the
one set with an emerald, on which
is engraved horn of plenty, and
the other with ain amethyst bear :
ing head of Mercury.
