cOURTsHIP IN ARKANSAS.

81 tell you, sir" Indignantly ex.
claimed Colonel Webly, addressing
a young man who aspired to the
hand of his only child, .'that / shall
never give my consent to a union
which | know would be UNHAPPY"
ave love each other" replied
young Balecuff.''
"Love be externally blowed |!
So I could have said years ago
I was devoted to the woman mar.
ried and she was devoted to me.
''You have lived happily with
each other, have you not?"
Happily the Colonel con-
temptuously repeated. 81 didn't
have money 'nough to inspire hap
piness.' Even in Arkansaw a man
mnst have money. His wife may
be devoted to him, but if he fails
to provide those little delicacies
which make life so enjoyable to a
woman she will speak of this sad
lack of comfort, and instead of at.
tributing it to financial inability
will regard it as willful neglect.
At times she will be melting with
affection and VOW that your love is
all that she cares for in this world
but when some one who in worldly
goods seems no richer than your.
self rides in buggy with his wife
she loses sight of the great sustain
ing love and bankers after tangible
ahection-a street display oflove."

and good business capacity. 1 can

"No use in prolonging the conyer-
sation. I have told you that you
should not marry my daughter. /
shall keep close watch, and if l
see you here again I shall act with
violence"
"Well, Colonel said the young
man with frmness, "as the gentles
have failed, / am compelled to
adopt the last resort. Some time
ago, before you suspected that /
was attached to your daughter, you
borrowed $40 from me. Do not
vince, sir: hear me through. You
thought / had forgotten the transac-
ton but I haven't. Now, sir, I in
ten to marry your daughter. If
you persist in annoying me, / shall
dun you for the money every time
I see you"
The Colonel sat for moment in
deep thought. Finally he said:
''Yes, Bob, don't say anything
more about the $40; lend me S. more
and take the girl.'

THE RAILROAD WHIsTLER.It
is said that every insectssshas its
use in nature; that the mosqueto
prevents The spead of malaria, and
that the fly is a bulgark against
contagion; but the wisest Of the
| sauots has 50 far failed to classify
Che man wGo whistles on a sleeping
caf, or to define in how FAR he may
be made practically useful. Under
any circumstances whistling man
is a nuisance, while on q railroad
train he suggests only the strongest
argument in favor of vivisection.
His sole ambition, and one be read
lily attains, is to disgust humanity
with his sex. Lacking the inteili-
gence of q dude, yet possessing all
the vanity of q camp-meeting
preacher, he perpetrates himself on
q suffering community, and calmly
wonders why some one does not
kill him for luck.
The other night one of these rep
tiles managed TO secure lodgment
on sleeping car. Until his berth
was made up he whistled. When
he got into bed he whistled, and at:
the break ofday he turned up where
he left off the night before, and
puckered out hideous sounds that
would have made a young pig
ashamed Of himself.
aWhy dom yo' Gomez asked the
grinning porter. plucking him by
the sleeve.
.What do you meanw demanded
the whistler, unfurling his pucker
long enough to ask the question.
@Why dom yo' wag 20 tail and
put yo' fo'paws on yo' shoulders an
lick yo' facel Yo' is de only dog
on de car; why don yc' answer de
signsl?"
But even this didn stop him.
He worked his music until tae train
reached his station, end when he
left, every passenger regretted that
there hadn't been a smash-up and
all hands killed.
There is only one use to which
the railroad whistle can be put.
and that is to blow cold air into
hot box, and then put him in the
box and shut itup on him. Drakes

CATCHING A PRAIRIE DOG.

I was assured that I might as
well try to dip the creek dry, as each
dog had passage from his resi-.
dence to the leyal Of the creek, that
all the water that could be emptied
in would not raise an inch above
the river bed. / didn't take much
stock in this water passage idea,
however, SO, after securing q box
for the game and half a dozen
water buckets, I took three or four
men and ran the engine up to the
water tank, filed up the engine

the denizens of prairie dog park.

HOW ANTS BURY THEIR
DEAD.

l
1t a is general habit among many
species of ants to bury the dead
very carefully. The following in,
terestlng account is given by an
Australian observer 'ssaw o large
number Of ants surrounding the
dead ones, and determined to watch
their proceedings closely. -Four
or FIVE started off from the rest
toward a hilloek a short distance
away, in which was an ants nest.
This they entered, and in about
FIVE minutes they reappeared, fol-
lowed by the others. al fell into
rank, walking regularly and slowly
two by two, until they arrived at
the spot where lay the soldier ants.
In few minutes two of the ants
advanced and took up the dead body
of one of their comrades, then two
others, and so on until all were
ready to march. First walked two
ants bearing body, then two others
with another dead ant, and so on,
until the line was extended to
about forty pairs. and the procession
now moved slowly onward, followed
by an irregular body of about 200
ants. Occasionally the two laden
ants stopped, and laying down the
dead ant, it was taken up by the
two walking unburdened behind
them, and thus, by occasionally
relieving eachaa other, they arrived
at sandy spot near the sea. The
body of ants now commenced dig
ging with their jaws a number of
holes in the ground, into each of
which a dead ant was laid, when
they were carefully covered over.
This did not quite finish the remark
able circumstances attending the
funeral of the ants. Some six or
seven of the ants had attempted to
run off without performing their
share of the task of digging; these
were caught and brought back,
when they were at once attacked
by the body Of ants and killed.
A single grave was quickly dug,
and they were all dropped into it.

WHERE a TRAGEDY TOOK
PLACE.

Il wouldn't tear that front wall
down for $4,000 cash. said
Thomas H. Green, Of Philadelphia.
Hundreds of people have asked
Inc why I didn't erect nicer front
when was overhauling the build.
ing" continued Mr.. Green, "but I
much prefer allowing the old brick
front to remain, because of the
historic associations of the build.
ing. Here it is that Benedict Ar
mold once made his home. In the
early part Of the present century
the building came into the posses
sion of the ancestors Of the we'll
known Burd and Shipper families,
whose histories are prominently
interviewer with that of the city
itself. One of the female numbers
of the Burd family on dying be-
queathed the property to relative,
with the injunction that the home
should never be converted into
stores. To disobey this command
would necessitate demolishing the
front, and so you see why it is ]
wish to allow the wall to remain,
because by so doing I consider I
am complying with the dying in
junction of its former owner.
"Do you know there is a roman
tic story connected with the house?"
said 1Ir. Green. "About fifty
years ago one of the daughters Of
the Burd family was engaged to be
married to a prominent Southern
gentleman. On the night before
the day fixed for the wedding a
large company was gathered in the
parlor of the mansion, and the con-
versation turned upon ghosts.
When the hour for retiring had
arrived, the ladies were pretty well
worked up with the stories they
had heard. The betrothed couple
fingered a few moments in the par
lor, and when the lady expressed
fear of meeting with ghost her
brother spoke mp and said: Look
out for the ghost of Benedict Ar
mold tonight The Southerner,
handing the lady pistol, said I:
Place this under your pillow, and
if any ghost appears don't be
afraid to shoot
"The brother, who was sort of
reckless fellow, resolved to have
some fun. He contrived to steal
away from his sister, and when
everybody was asleep he dressed
himself in the uniform Of an officer
of the continental army. Entering
the chamber of his sister he made a
noise which awoke her, and when
the terrified girl saw what she be-
lieved to be the ghost Of Arnold
she set up such a screaming that
she awakened the household. In
few minutes the room was filed
with the other members Of the TAM
lily.
"When the matter was explained
by the erring brother, the future
husband of the sister became so
angry that he then and there ehal-
lenged the brother to fight a duel.
In few hours the preliminaries
were ali arranged. A little piece
Of woods in the southwestern part
Of the city was selected, which
they reached about daylight. Pts
tolls were produced, and the two
plucky men faced each other at
twenty yards distance. At the
first fire both fell, and when the
seconds and physicians drove up to
the mansion in the early hours of
the morning they tenderly conveyed
two corpses to a resting-place with
in its portals, and the heartbroken
sister was compelled to mourn the
untimely death OF a brother and a
lover"
