COL. COYOTE CLARK.

When | told the officers of my chur CHI
in that newest city OF the Southwestern
States that Mrs. Clark had called upon
me with a view of joining our society y,
those officials were struck with dismay,
for the Colonel had shot her former hus-
band.
81 am glad 30 know her." I insisted.
"And you would like to have her hus-
band, Coyote Glars, call, would you ?"
Mr.. Jones asked it derisively, but re-
piled as promptly, II will be glad to
have him do so He shall be welcome.
That is what am here for. 1t is the
worst people who need me most"
"Do they? Well, I am anxious to
see what will come OF it. Col. Coyote
Clark I" and Mr.. Brown evidently coin
cided in the sarcastic exclamation of Mr..
Jones. As soon as they were gone
planted the dreaded reprobate in imag-
nation before me.
"It is plain" said to myself, "that
he is a large, red-faced, bushy. .whisk-
cred, boisterous man, bully and a
blackguard. Doubtless the sobriquet of
Coyote, prairie fox, has come to and
clings to him as naturally as the name
of Bob, Tom, Bill to other men. am
not afraid of the ruffian," and if my fists
did not jnstinctively clench themselves
my manner became in anticipation iroz-
en- and defiant.
A few weeks afterward, and when I
had forgotten the disreputable Colonel,
there called upon me one afternoon
gentleman whom 1 krew at glance to
be book or insurance agent. He was
an undersized man, but well-formed and
remarkably well-dressed, closely-shaven,
and whose .ingularly youthful face was
made the more engaging by pair of
frank and laughing eyes. There was
that in them which grasped me as cor
dially as did his hand, which I observed
was as small and white as that of q lady,
and which adhered to my own with o
curious magnetic warmth. His voice,
too, and whole bearing had such an in.
nocent and childhke sincerity as won me
at once. No one could be less intrusive
or more respectable, and during our
conversation upon general topics I OBJ
served that he listened more attentively
TO me, and with more than his eyes
fastened upon mine. al will subscribe
for his book, whatever it is, / MUIR
INJURED to myself at last. "If he is an
insurance agent how can Irefuse to take
out policy?" But he only remarked,
MS after very pleasant visit he arose
TO leave, "I am pleased to know, sir,
that my wife desires to unite with the
church." -
Your wife," stammered.
"Yes, sir; Mrs. Clark. My name is
Col. Clark. I dare say" he added with
the laugh of school-boy, that you
have heard of me as Coyote Clark. That
is only their fun. For although I am
not myself Christian, rs regret to
say, no man, sir, has a deeper respect
for religion" aud his face had taken on
the sincercst seriousness.
That was the way we began our more
than mutual acquaintance. Every day

TABLE MANNERS.

Nothing reflects more upon home
training than bad manners at table.
Restlessness, shown by tidgeting in your
seat, moving the feet unnecessarily,
playing with the table utensils or
crumbling the bread is very annoying
to those who have been trained correctly
in youth.
TO open the mouth while chewing tine
food instead of keeping the lips closed ;
to talk when the mouth is full ; to suck
up soup from the spoon; to put knife
in the mouth to bend the head down
over tho plate; eating rapidly, or to
m Ike a noise in eaTlug, are breaches Of
good m"nners.
Chew the food well, but quietly, and
eat slowly. Never use spoon for
anything but liquids, ice cream, cheese,
fish (where silver fish knives are not
used.)
Everything that can be eaten withc u.
a k,life, or a spoon, should be eaten with
q fork such as sweetbreal, rissoles,
pies, etc. Bread is always broken, when
not LIZ tered not bitten nor cut with a
knife. - Youths Companion.
