IN BOGOTA.

The Custom of Preserving Family ''Re-
mains' in the House Unpleasant to New
Tenants.
Atlanta Constitution
In the Office of District Attorney Emory
Speer three legal gentlemen were Willing
the hours away with stories of ghosts and
dreams. Said one:
Il don't know anything about dreams, but
my wife received letter few DAYS ago
from her sister in Bogota which relates a
strange story. The young lady says that her
fathers family lived in four-story house
She says-but let me read you what she
says"
The gentleman drew from his pocket a
neat-looking letter four pages long, and beau
tifully written in a lady's hand. He glanced
down the page to the paragraph that he
wanted, and read:
I'VE have moved, and the house we live
in is very peculiar one, and four stories
high. On the first, or ground-story floor,
there is very fine drugstore which is kept
by DR.. Ospina, who owns the house. The
next floor is our parlors, dining-room papa's
office and library, and the kitchen. On
the third floor are our bedrooms and
quite a pretty morning room, where
mamma and l sometimes sit, and the fourth
floor is garnet where nothing but rubbish is
kept. But the strangest thing has happened
TO me since we lived here. For the first two
weeks l had the most dreadful dreams about
the garnet, and although every day would
go up could not see anything to cause my
dreams. There was nothing but three large,
dark, almost empty rooms. But the dreams
kept on, and l became so frightened that
would not sleep alone and made a servant
bring bed into the room and sleep there.
Still had the same dreams until one night
dreamed that there was an invisible some
thing at the head of my bed and 1t said go
up in the garrett and look in the right-hand
corner of the long room, The dream was so
vivid that l awoKe and called the girl and
said, Are you awake, Lastnia? Isl, mi
Senorita.' Did you hear anything in the
room2 No, mi Senorita | was so fright
ened that l could not go to sleep again,
and next day l took the servant and went
up into the garrett and made a thor
ough examination of the long room. Sure
enough, in the right-hand corner l found a
door, and although my heart was in my
throat, we pushed the door open, and as we
did so the wind swept in with a dismal wall
and blew open a small window. The sight
that was revealed caused every individual
hair to rise on end and almost froze my
blood. Almost at my feet was long coffin
containing a skeleton. A little further off
was a small coffin nailed up, and near by was
barrel of human bones. Papa went imme-
diately to Dr. Ospina, who said they were
only family remains. 1t seems that it is the
fashion here when your relatives have been
buried about seven years, to take them up
and keep their remains in the house. Papa
told him he must take them away, as we did
not want the house to serve the purpose of a
cemetery, at least while we lived in it. So he
took them away, and / have not had any
more bad dreams"

Anxious that harmony should prevail
among his guests, the host returned to the
room, and explaining matters to the company,
asked the Highlander to make an apology, if
merely for FORMS sake.

but tell him to come back and take few

At Eventide.

f. sometime, when the day was wearing late,
And stars were coming in the darkenlng SKY,
As once for you might in rapture wait,
And feel your presence surely drawing mgn;
Gould but hear your quick and happy feet
Come up the pebbled pathway as OF yore,
And hasten with "a beating heart to meet
And welcome you before you reached the
door,
For if again you sat beside me here,
Your eyes would read the lines made deep oy
pain,
And see the cheeks whose youthful bloom was
dear,
Like flowers grown pallid in autumnal rain
And draw you in beside the household fire,
And sit beside you, looking in your eyes
To read within them. as the flame burned hGher,
The love that answering love alone deseries-
tthink-but mol the past is far away;
Its dear and mournful memory Is mine:
And in the gladness where you walk to-day
would not have you know that replne.
And l. perhaps, should fear to meet those eyes
That in the light of Heaven had grown SO
clear,
Lest In their love should be sad surprise
At what had worn my soul from year 10 year
will not let my longing soul grow wild
With useless visions of what may not be;
while in the glory, radiant, indebted,
You stand and stretch your angel hands 10 me-

Loves Greeting.
''How Would You Greet Me- Dear il l Should
Gomez"
You ask how I would greet you.
Love, why ask7
Can paint rapture in mere words,
Count heart-beats as a taskf
only know the sight of you would be
The glad surprise
That the first glimpse of light and flowers would
be
To long blind eyes,
But shl what words are deep enough to hold
The raptured hush
In which they'd watch the sunsets gold
Or rosebuds dewy blushf
L only know the sight of you would be
AS dew to flowers,
The dropping on their stems have hung
Through noonude hours,
But, yet, cannot paint in words
The joy that thrills
Throughout each fragrant heart as drop by
drop
Each ebalice fills.
And SO my joy at meeting you
Would pass the reach
OF words in any tongue that's known
All powers of speech.
But though cannot tell, think perhaps
That could show
Just how I'd greet you if you came,
Soft you care to know;
There stretches out between US, dear,
No bridgeless space,
And your question were best answered
Face unto face!

ARTEMUs WARDS KANGAROO.


The Amusing and Moral Beast Living In
Honorable Retirement.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Few people who have laughed over Arte-
mus Wards works, or who have seen him
upon the platform with his pet tied to the
leg of the table before him, have forgotten
his moral kangaroo" of which ne once
said, ut would make you laugh to hear the
little cuss jump up and squeal." Yet there
are not fifty men in the country, outside OF
Cleveland, who know that this famous kan
CARGO is alive and we'll to-day, and is tenderly
housed and cared for by one who is never
tired of talking of the days he spent in COM
pany with the quaint humorist whose
memory is kept forever green in the Plain
Dealer establishment.
When Ward decided to go to Europe upon
his last and fatal visit, he determined to per
manently house his pet kangaroo in quarters
where he would be sure of kind treatment
and good care for the rest of its life. Secur-
ing such refuge required some diplomacy,
but Artemus was equal to the task. One day,
during short visit to Cleveland, he called
upon his old friend and companion, George
Hoyt, the associate editor of the daily Plain
Dealer, and said, after the usual small talk
George, we have always been good friends
and on the whole believe that l owe you
something
Hardly" said Hoyt, remembering some
of Wards practical jokes. Taking every
thing into consideration l believe that owe
you half a dozen or So"
But l am serious now" said Ward, as he
took Hoyt by the hand. 81 have long had it
in my mind to make you present of value,
something you know, that would cause you
to think of me now and then, when l am
away across the water This comes from the
heart, George, and L shall feel grieved unless
you accept it and treasure it closely and
warmly for my sake. L want you to take it,
and to get out of it all the good that the stu
alton will allow"
Artemus's manner was so earnest that Hoyt
met him half way.
'All right he said, do as you will, old
boy, and no more words about it."
"You shall hear from me soon" said
Ward, as he wrung Hoyts hand and went up
street.
Hoyt heard from him.
Three hours after Wards departure an ex-
press wagon drove slowly down Superior
street and halted in front of the old Plain
Dealer building. In the wagon was large
box with dozen holes bored through the
lid. Two men picked it up and with some
difficulty carried it into the editorial room
and deposited it before Mr.. Hoyts desk
Tackled upon it was a card bearing this in
scription;

Wait Till You See Flynn.

IeNHS SIIlHBs,
Timothy Flynn was a tailor in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Peters. The domestic affairs of
Timothy and his wife were not conducted
with harmony. Broken heads and dismem-
bered articles of furniture frequently attested
that fact.
Last Monday, Timothy did not come to
work. On Tuesday, Mr.. Peters went to his
house to see him. He met Mrs. Flynn at
the door, A black eye, bruised nose, and a
triumphant smile were her most prominent
features.
"You seem to have been having d of a
time, Mrs. Flynn" said Mr.. Peters; you are
all broken up. Has"
Don't talk, Mr. Pethers. Lord love We,
don't talk till we see Flynn"

What the "old Woman" Said.

San Francisco Public Opinion.
Some six years ago, when the late lamented
Latham found himself financially swamped
he repaired to the office of Bonanza Flood
and offered his entire collection of paintings
only educated banker we ever had in this
city paid about twice as much in the differ
ent cities of Europe-and Latham was not
swindled, as he understood painting as well
as he did the amenities of society. well"
said Mr. Flood, Il will ask my wife, and will
let you know in the morning." Morning
came and Mr.. Latham called upon Flood
and desired to know the result of his inter-
view with the lady of the house, and it was
gwen in just these precise words: well,
Governor, the old woman says that she
doesn't think secondhand pictures will do
for our new house."

necessary many years ago to employ a staff
of foreign examiners in order to translate the
documents which were submitted in support
of certain charges. An old German was

The commissioner. pointing to a name on

The German replied: "Oh, he is dead, and

The commissioner, horrorstruck replied:

What Drunkenness Docs.

Petroleum '. Nasty in Toledo Blade.
In days past | have seen drunkenness and
the effects thereof. l have seen the dead
bodies of women murdered by drunken hus-
bands; have seen the best men in America
go down to disgracefuls graves; and 1 have
seen fortunes wrecked, prospects blighted,
and have perused a great many pages OF
statistics There are crimes on the calendar
not resulting from rum, but were rum
eliminated, the catalogue would be so re-
duced as to make it hardly worth the COM
piling. Directly or indirectly, rum is
chargeable with good 80 per cent. of the
woes that afflict our country.

GEORGE HoYT.
present from his best friend,
Take HIM with my blessing, and may
he stick closer than a brother

With a sinking heart Hoyt procured a
Ratchet and removed the lid. Inside the box,
as demure as a deacon, sat Wards famous
kangaroo. Hoyps first impulse was TO nail
down the lid and send the box back, with his
compliments; but, remembering his promise
to accept the gift, he concluded to make the
best of the situation, and to give the animal
the care and attention which he
knew Ward expected it would receive. He
accordingly sent the travelled animal home
where it has rested safe and happy, secure in
the affection and regard of its owner, and
with good housing and plenty to eat.
/ saw it few days ago, by Mr. Hoyts in
vitation. A corner of his large brick barn on
Euclid avenue has been fitted up for its USE
and his stableman has it in special charge
When Mr.. Hoyt opened the door of its room
and called out, "Artemusl Artemus" the
gray old fellow came out with few slow and
dignifed hops, and sat down fearlessly at our
feet HE is getting old and shaky about the
joints" said Mr.. Hoyt, land we cannot get
half the amusement out of him that was pos
sible ten years ago. My children play with
him, and he has never offered them any
harm. On warm days we let him out in the
yard, and he never attempts to get away. He
does not like dogs, and will ran in and hide
when any of them are about"
His owner has had many offers from show
men for "Old Artemus" since Wards death,
but he has declined them all. HE was a
present from my dear old friend" said Mr..
Hoyt," and shall never part with him. Bar
mum wanted him, but would not let him
go. 1 shall keep him and give him home
as long as he lives, unless he survives me,
and in that case my children will look out
for him."
As we left, "Artemus' was sitting on the
barn floor, looking at us placidly and appar-
emily without thought OF his early life
away among the Bushmen, or of his various
tours across the country with the genial

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Barnum's Neglect of a Chance to Put Mr..
Bergh "In a Hole"

Barnum's Neglect of u Chance to Put Mr..
Bergh 'In Hole"
Joe Howards New York Letter.
My good friend, Henry Bergh, is an ex-
tremist. He means we'll, but he is very I'M
reasonable. We are indebted to him for the
decent carrying of sheep ard calves through
the streets to the shambles, and he has done
many other excellent things as we'll; but,
while he allows Vanderbilt to torture the
poor beasts who haul his cars, and never says
a word to the scoundrels who inflict UNI
speakable pain by the use of curb-bits and
check-reins he foolishly enters a ring anG
takes from men in jeopardy the prod which
alone stands between them and possible
death. 1t is a little curious that last week,
as l was describing to you the instrument
with which Arstingtall and his aids compel
the elephant to obey, Brother Bergh was
raising rumpus about it, on the ground of
cruelty to animals. Jewish he could have
seen Pilot who, next to Jumbo, was the
biggest elephant in the known world, when
he defied his keepers on Wednesday night,
and after hours OF beating, sticking and
burning, had to be shot for the safety of all
concerned Do you know l think this is the
first time Barnum has lost his grip? He had
a splendid chance to put Bergh in hole, and
didn't. He should have sent him word at
once that Pilot was raising Cain, and asked
his kind and humane interference. Then he
should have left Bergh and Pilot together
whereat there would have been a circus as is
a circus and the obituary cabinet would be
minus one of its most unique and most en-
tertaining mortuary records. l take great
stock in fanatics. If we had no fanatics
we'd have no reform. Father Mathew was
crazy on rum drinking; Garrison, Phillips and
Beecher on slavery; John Howard on prison
abuses and Martin Luther on kingly out
rage See what good has rained on all the
earth in consequence. So these New York
fanatics bring about good, and great deal OF
it, but they live in a more advanced age, and
should temper their fanaticism with common
canea
