We Noble Sayages.

Twenty-eight wild men, six wild
women and four unclad children, none
of whom had ever been out of the
mountains, were led by Major Level
lyn down to station ON the Santa Fe
Railroad few days ago. When train
doomed in the band were awed, and
whispered ordinations of "de-sa-ra-
ta'' (wonderful were many times re-
peated. The brawny fellows, who emp
ty-handed would face a grizzly, were
afraid to step into the cars, and the
squaws and their children crouched
behind their trembling lords. But they
were to board the train, and fiat on
their faces between the seats this re-
markable band of Apaches was borne
into Santa Fe to take part in the tertio-
mllennial parade. No part of the pro-
cession was so striking. LeOnine heads
set on shapely, robust frames, with
massive shoulders and chests full and
rounded, splendidly displayed by tight
fitting buckskin costumes; sinewy
trunks and fanks of shifting muscles,
constituted the physical material for an
exhibition both graceful and unique.

band fell in love with a white exhibitor.
As he was arranging his wares his wrist
was grasped from behind and he turned
to see the figure of the Apache woman
vanishing in the crowd, leaving with
him silver circlet from her own arm.

evening, as he pulled back his cuff to
show the ornament, 'thaL l must see

What a Jealous ''Hubby" Found.

Last Wednesday afternoon promi-
nent business man, residing in the ex-
IRENE western part of the city, was seen
occupying one of the benches in Lincoln
Park, busily engaged handling several
hundred pieces of small paper. A
reporter happening in the vicinity, and
having the pleasure of the business
mans acquaintance, asked him what he
was trying to do.
- found these bits of paper in Che
dining room of my house, and ain OF

writing to my wife, and as am anxious

to this place to put it together

In Russia the finer variety of plums

1t is a practice among gardeners
when reporting plants TO pack the
earth very tightly about the roots. The
gardeners reason for this is the fact
that a loose soil acts as a sponge to re-
tain too much water, while very COM
pact soil will hold little more than
the plant needs. This is a wise precau-
ton to guard against overwhelming.
The Amer1can Garden suggests that
that synonym of meanness, 'pusley,"
may be got rid by raking it into heaps
the larger the better-between the
rows of vegetables. The centre of the
heap will soon ferment, and in short
time reduce the entire mass to a
black blotch upon the ground. If all
mean men could only be got rid OF as
easily!

A Legend Of Cologne.

Adelheid Richmodus, wife OF one OF
the medieval senators who swayed the
destinies of Cologne, died, to all appear
apce. and was buried in the vaults of
the neighboring Apostelkirche. 1t was
said that a valuable ring could not be
removed from her hand. and was con-
sepGently inferred with her. This ex-
cited the cupidity of the sexton, VINO
came at night TO steal, and failing in his
efforts TO loosen the ring, tried to sever
the finger. Blood flowed; the lady re-
vived and sat up in her coffin, to the
horror of the thief After the first para
living shock of finding where she was she
passed through the gates he left open in
his fight, and still wrapped in her wind
ing-sheet, knocked at her husband 5
door. The servants, on looking out,
recognized her. and rushed terrified to
their master to say they had seen her
ghost; but on calmer reflection, Adel-
held continuing to knock and beg plain
lively for admission, they concluded she
was alive, and said so. Richmodus de-
clared the whole trick of their imag-
ination, and said he would as soon be-
lieve his horses were transported to the
attics as that his wife lived. As he
spoke, the clatter of hoofs above proved
his incredulity rebuked by a miracle.
The door was opened to the shivering
lady. who told her story and was affec-
tionately received, becoming 1.-The joy

tie was a member of our club
Since 1854.
His private virtues were immense.
His manner free and bluh,
He wore a paper collar, and
Was never known to mun.
He rarely took a drink more strong
Than lemonade OF pop;
He hated drunkards, and was
Magnificent short-stop.
His nose was Roman. and his eyes
Continually were peeled;
He made a splendid umpire, and
A beautiful lcft-neld-
His hair was red. and shingled close:
Much sunburned was his face,
He never showed with more effect
Than on the second base
Being a man, he had bis faults
As likewise have we all;
He felt a preference for the New
York regulation ball.
Though not a matrimonial man.
He dearly loved a match,
And, like his sisters, had but few
Superiors on the catch.
He had q noble mind, as exc
A very supple wrist;
And when he pitched he gave the ball
His own peculiar twist.
OF politics and church affairs
He held restricted views;
His feet were usually encased
In canvas, bob-nailed shoes
But he Is gone. With ms and outs
Forever he is done;
He broke his heart and hurt his spleen
In making ahome-run.
His body we have planted now,
His soul is in the sky;
The angels reached from Heaven down
And took him on the fly.
