A Frontiersman in a Hotel.

Captain jim Peake considered N.
J.. Jenkins one of his best scouts and
speaks of him in terms of the warmeSt
praise. When Jenkins joined Peake's
command he had been away from civ.
iliZation for years, and the captain on
one occasion having to pay visit to
the capital city of the Lone Star State
took Jenkins along with him. When
they reached Austin Jenkins, who was
in the dress of a frontiersman and
armed to the teeth, attracted a great
deal of attention, and the boys fol-
lowed him about in crowds. He
thought this ovation complimentary
to himself and invited the curious
juveniles to the nearest confectionery,
where he spent all his money treating
them to candy, soda water and ice
cream. When night came the captain
took Jenkins to the Raymond house
for supper. The dining-room was
crowded and the table was resplendent
in its setting of glass and silver.
jenkins advanced to the table, drew
his bowie-knife, speared biscuit and
piece of steak, and stepping back
began to eat as he had been accustomed
to eat in camp, standing up. with his
bowie-knife and fingers answering all
purposes. A grinning servant invited
him to be seated.

He was assigned room at the hotel

jenkins was stretched out on the floor,
wrapped in his blanket.
"Why didn't you sleep in the bed ?"
asked the captain.

power the one of October TO- 1880,
known as the Great Storm" 1t was
generated in mid-Atlantic, not far
from the Equator, and was first felt in
the Barbados. There the bark of
trees was removed, either through the
effects of the electric action or the
fury of the wind; cannon were driven
along The batteries and flung over into
the fOsse. A French transport fleet
of forty vessels, carrying 1000
soldiers, was overtaken by the storm
and completely destroyed at Martin
