A Frontier Romance.

Correspondence so the Toronto Globe.
Yesterday, though the weather was
bitter cold, there was q lull in the
storm, and word was brought over to
the saloon that there was to be horse

handful of nuts, and remarked that
he was taking pocketful over to "his

Thirty five dollars. Oh. here she

BIackfoot girl came caperiDg down the
bank IT, meet him and take possession
of the nuts. The little Ole had on a
new dress, warm stockings, new shoes
and little blanket, all of which had
apparently come out of the store with
in the last twenty-four hours.
After loading her with the nuts,
Shorty allowed he to start back toward
the lodge. but, thinking her blanket
did not fit close enough. he called her
back, and, taking of the empty cart
ridge belt which held his own over
coat together, he belted her little
blanket snugly around her waist, and
then sent her of, the happiest young.

"Her mother is to keep her till 60
back to Montana, aud then I'll take
her down home and give her to the

innocent little girl now, but if sue
stays here she'll starve till she grows
up and then go to the bad. III take
her home, and moiherll make a wO-

A Senator Caught Rehearsing.
Washington Correspondence of Cleveland Leader.
l am reminded of the story of Sena-
tor Hears great "impromptu" speech
Oh education and labor, which he de-
livered in the senate several years ago,
the inside history of which has never
been published. 1t is an illustration
of the way great men prepare extern
pore speeches, which they get eff ON
the spur of the moment, to the amaze
ment Of the common mind. Senator
Hear is q portly man, with . round
face. high forehead and short. gray
hair. He keeps himselfclosely shaved,
and COMFORTS himself with the dignity
that becomes the senator who repre-
seuts classic Boston SEINE time ago,
his family leaving the city, the Sena-
tor shut up bis house and procured
rooms on New York avenue. These
rooms we're separated from the suite
back of them by doors, above which
there was transom, and in this suite
lived two Jolly clerks of the treasury.
For some time after Senator HOar took
the front room, the clerks did not
know who their neighbor was. But
morning after morning they we're
awakened by him stamping around,
pounding his table and declaiming
with energy. going over the same SEN
tence time after time. On the third
morning one of theM swore he would
find cut who this elocutionist was, and,
moving a table to the door, he was
enabled, by standing on his toes, to
look through the transom. There ne
saw the Por,ly senator, in night shirt
and drawers, going through his rheter-
ical gymnastics before a large mirror,
practicing every gesture and studying
his part more carefully than the play
ers in Hamlet. The other clerk was
soon by his side. and they tsok turns
at the transom. ''FOr two weeks,
said my informant, "Hoar practiced
that speech from one to tive hours
every morning before he delivered it
ettenporsneorsly in the senate"

Peculiar Train Accidents.


The Des Moines and Fort Dodge
Road takes the cake for unheard-O of
train accidents. The ether day a
freight train was coming Down the
road in which were several cars Of
hogs. Between Waukee and Ashewa
the engineer felt disagreeable. jerky
motion of the train, and whistled down
brakes. The rear truck of the second
car in the train was missing, and the
hogs we're piled in heap at the fal-
len cad of the car, making . most
terrific squeal. A brakeman went
back mile aud half. but could not
find the missing Iruck. A passenger
coach was attached to the train, i"
which were five women, babe and
ten men. The women and baby were
stored in the engine cab, the men in
the first car with the hogs, and brought
to the city.
A few years ago a freight train was
going north Oh this road, aud while
hating at q station the forward trucks
Of q car were discovered missing, the
car being held up by the coupling. A
run back of six miles found the truck
down in the ditch sound as a dsllAr
How the truck got of the track with
out derailing the train is mystery
not yet solved.
Last Sunday the Chicago and Rock
Island had singular accident from a
broken rail. An engine and six
freights loaded passed over the break,
five empty cars jumped the track and
cleared the rsadbed, tine remaining cars
of the train crossed the break and
closed up with the forward section
at least that is the way the train went
into the first station, where the train
men fshnd the train Eve cars short,
which were traced back to the ditch.

Ordinarily the jingle of handful of
rings is not an unpleasant sound, but
when it happens that these rings are
fastened to six or seven feet of serpent

sharpest of fangs, nearly an inch in
length, with cisterns of liquid poison
