A Cruel Joke,

There is certain prominent man in
q California city whom it is not safe to
joke with just now. The other night,
so the story is related, while he was
loating in his favorite bar-room, a small
boy came in and handed him a note.
He opened it, and his face was perfectly
CHASTITY as he devoured its contents.
Then he held a consultation with two of
his friends, borrowed a revolver, and
left the room with his chums When
the party reached the mans house he
let them in at the back door, and their
shoes being removed, the stocking
footed trio stole noiselessly through the
house. The dull, red glow of the hall
lamp threw the mans determined
features into strong relief as he paused
at his room door and caught the MUIR
muir of a voice in caressing tones say
ing: ''There, darling, you and are all
alone in the house, SO don't be scared.
Now let me put on this nice new collar
and pretty coat. Oh, you pet, you little
darling" and through crack in the
door came a perfect fusilade of kisses.
The enraged husband took off his coat,
signaled his bodyguard, and danced in
to the room with his revolver at full
cock. One look was enough. There
was his wife codding and petting an
English terrier dog. Neither the man
nor his companions have much to say
about what followed, but they want to

Night Run of Cattle on the Drive.

Gen. Brisbin, writing in the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, says: Last fall
a large herd of big steers for market
were being driven across the country
from Muscleshell to Billings, on the
Northern Pacific railroad, where they
were to be shipped on the cars for Chi
cago. There were about two thousand
head. l should Judge, the property Of
Mr.. De Hass, a very young man. One
evening military camp had been made
just ahead Of the cattle and on the same
side of the creek with them, up which
the herd was being driven. A storm
was coming up and the cattle exhibited
some signs of uneasiness. Mr.. De Hass
sent word to the military officer that he
had better get his men, wagons, and
animals on the opposite side of the
creek and out of the way, as he feared
there was going to be "night rum
The herders were instructed to keep
their horses saddled and be ready to
mount at moments notice. The cat
tie were very uneasy, getting up, lying
down again, and shifting about as if I'M
comfortable. At last about midnight
there came a sharp flash of lightning,
followed by heavy peal of thunder and
In an instant the whole herd was upon
their feet. 'Mount and whip OUT
cried De Hass, and the herder who was
at the head of the column drove off a
few of the leading steers in the direc-
ton they were to 60. All the others
followed, and the herd was soon in full
flight. The herders made no effort to
check or control them further than to
keep them going straight; they rode at
the head of the column, one on each
side of them swung to the right or left,
and keeping the trail; bluffs and preci-
pices were avoided, and the open flat
ground courted. The run lasted about
two hours, when gorge was being
neared, in which the cattle would crowd
and break their limbs. They were now
quite tired, and the herders determined
to exert their authority and stop the
run. The head of the column was bent
out on the prairie, and circled round
and round until the cattle became tied
up in huge ball and could not move at
all. In this way they were obliged to
stand until morning, the herders riding
round and round them, and keeping
them completely tied up. At daylight
they were allowed to "open out" First,
the outer edge scattered, then layer af-
ter layer, until the huge pile Of beef
was once more herd grazing as quiet
ly as if nothing had happened.

Wild Success.

The Arkansas Judge, as supporter of
the law, knows nothing but the discharge
OF his duty, or rather what he considers
his duty. He is never influenced, unless
the pressure be great. The other day a
negro, charged with misdemeanor, was
taken before a rural judge, who, after
hearing the testimony, said: II shall

Arnold waited to hear no more. The
scales had fallen from his eyes. Con-
science-stricken, he crept back to his IL
brary, while only two words burst from
his lips. They were at once thanks
giving and a prayer.
''Thank GOdn' he murmured; and
now the morrow mattered naught to
him.
A few moments later, he stepped out
on the porch.
"May,' he said. ''will your cousin

she asked, at last, when all was clear to
her.
sNo, dear; Of course not. That is q

And SO she gained her way.

house. "Do you know, darling, my con-

"Will?' She laughed merrily now and
the laugh was nowise forced. "He has

Cheap Postage at Last, and Postal Notes
in Addition.

The late Congress passed a law which
will be hailed with general satisfaction
BY the people, namely, the reduction of
the rate of postage on letters to two
cents. The United States may now be
considered as standing at the head of
the nations in the matterof cheap postal
facilities. We are indebted to Mother
England for teaching us the A B G of
popular postal transmission; for score
of years her rate has been two cents.
But no such costs, difficulties, and dis
tances have had to be overcome in
carrying the mails in Great Britain as in
this country. Her postal routes are
short, her total area being only about
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
square miles, while ours is not far from
three and half millions of square
miles.
Many of our important towns are
from one to four thousand miles apart
by the postal routes, over which we
have been long carrying letters for three
cents. Under the new rates of two
cents, the quantity of letters to be car
ried will doubtless be greatly augmented.
The new two cent rate goes into OPP
Grafton October l. The post Office
authorities are engaged in preparing a
brand new two cent stamp, with which
to inaugurate the happy event.
Another accommod ation for the public
will also soon come into vogue, namely,
the issue of postal notes for small sums.
BY payment at any post Office a postal
note for the amount is to be given,
which will be payable on presentation
at any other post office.
The post Office authorities are making
preparations as rapidly as possible for
the issue of the new postal note. It is
to be engraved with great care, the
work upon it to be equal to that on the
national banknotes, in order to protect
the holder. 1t is expected that this note
will prove of great benefit to all who
desire to use the mails to purchase
books, newspapers and merchandise.
The authorities admit that it is an ex-

system will any more than pay expenses.

Malaria.

The general statement that malaria il
most abundantly generated in marshes
fresh or salt water-and in low, damp
grounds, is not invalidated by the fact
that it may also prevail in mountainous
regions and in places where the soil is
specifically dry. A loose surface soil,
everything an impervicus stratum of clay
or rock, permits the air. to penetrate to
this stratum, where the water which ac-
cumulates after rain may be retained
in depressions, and we have thus all the
conditions necessary for decomposition
OF the vegetable matter which may be
present in the soil, and for the evolution
of malaria. George N. Sternberg.

How to Scatter Trouble.

The Bad Boy of Peck's Sun says:

has a goxd little boy to take his mind
from his troubles, and get him mad at
something else, it rests him. Last night
we had hot maple syrup and biscuit for
supper, and pa had saucer full in
front of him, just steaming. I could
see he was thinking too much about his
mining stock, and I thought if there
was anything I could do to take his mind
off of it, and place it on something else,
l.would be doing kindness that would
be appreciated. sat on the right of
pa, and when he wasn't looking l pulled
the table cloth so the saucer Of red hot
maple syrup dropped off in his lap. Well,
you'd died to see how quick his
thoughts turned from his financial trou-
bles to his physical misfortunes. There
was about a pint of hot syrup, and it
went all over his lap and you know how
hot melted maple sugar is, and how it
sort of clings to anything. Pa jumped
up and grabbed hold of his pants legs
to pull them away from hisself, and he
danced around and told ma to turn the
hose on him, and then he took pitcher
of ice water and poured it down his
pants, and he said the condemned old
table was getting SO rickety that saucer
wouldn't stay on it, and I told pa if he
would put some tar on his legs, the
same kind that he told me to put on my
lip to make my moustache grow, the
syrup wouldn't burn so, and then he
cuffed me, and I think he felt better.

mind off his troubles, but where man
