A Mysterious Author.

At Abbotsford, in 1918, says Lock-
hart, Sir Walter Scott told with high
merriment a disaster that had befallen
him in the matter of postage. Zone
morning last spring" he said 81 opened
huge lump of a dispatch, without
looking how it was addressed, never
doubling it that it had travelled under
some omnipotent frank, like the first
lord of the admiralty's, when low and
behold the contents proved to be a
manuscript play by a young lady of
New York, who kindly requested me to
read and correct it, equip it with pro-
logue and epilogue, procure for it a fa-
vorable reception from the manager oI
Drury Lane, and make Murray or Con-
stable bleed handsomely for the copy
right; and on inspecting the cover l
found / had been charged five
pounds odd postage. This was bad
enough, but there was no help, so l
groaned and submitted. A fortnight
or so after another packet. of not less
formidable bulk arrived, and was alb
sent enough to break its seal, too, with
out examination. Conceive my horror
when out jumped the same identical
tragedy of the sCherok Lovers, with a
second epistle from the authoress, stat
ing that, as the winds had been bolster
GUS, she feared the vessel intrusted with
her communication might have found
cred, and therefore judged it prudent
to forward duplicate.
Who was the young lady from New
York and was the play ever published?''

How the Waiter Was Fooled.

l have been so impressed with the
prostrating dullness which pervades the
atmosphere at Albany that ] am not
surprised ''quiet game should be
sought by some of our Legislators.
Yesterday asked a member if the
game was not great relief to him when
tired of the dreary humdrum of legisla-
tive life.
30, yes.n was the sententious re-
sponse. "a very great relief. They
relieved me of three hundred last
night"
That suggests good story. The
other night party of legislators arose
from the green-coyered table with
empty pockets and craving sstomaehs.
1t was too late to get anything 10 eat
at their respective hotels, so they ad-
iourned to a well-known restaurant and
enjoyed a hearty repast.
''How are you going to iquidate?"
asked one of the party, picking his teeth
rehectively.
"That's what I've been thinking of, .
said another, who halls from the land
of bards, saints and statesmen, ''and
want you to stand by me in what I'm
going to do"
The waiter was rung for and to him
the Celt explained thus:
"Boss, we've got into little difficulty
here. Each one of us insists on paying
the bill, and, as we are all pretty flush
neither one will give way. Now, then,
to settle it, propose that we blindfold
you and that the first man you catcf
pays the score. II will be worth 9
couple of dollars to you.
The darkey grinningly consented
they blindfolded him with his owl
apron and he started with outstretcheC
hands to capture his man. After tumb
ling over everything in the room ant
sustaining several severe bruises, he re
moved the blindfold and found himself
the only occupant of the roomi Th'
festive feasters had slid out as soon a
| the apron had been tied on.
1t will not take away any from th'
joke to say that the bill was settled ant
an explanation given the next morning

Let's Have the Truth.

In another month rso it will be time
to begin advertising Northern summer
resorts, and we take this early opportu-
nifty to ask great favor on behalf Of
the whole American Nation. We sin
cerely hope that some one hotel man
out of the 10000 may come out with an
honest statement of facts. So far SIS
the resorts of Michigan and Wisconsin
60 we hope to see an advertisement
about as follows:
''This hotel can accommodate about
seventy-fye guests in a decent manner.
Any one over this number can expect
to sleep on the porch. Our rooms are
furnished with cheap furniture, poor
carpets and bedding of the most COM
mon sort. Any one of our mattresses
is warranted solid enough to answer for
a meat block.
"This hotel is not romantically situ-
ated. In fact, the site is the poorest in
the neighborhood, butwe were looking
for land at two dollars per acre when
we bought. The views from the veran-
das and windows are somewhat pic
turesque, when not interfered with by
windfalls, swamps and brush-heaps.
s'We have flies and mosquitoes in
plenty, and we neither use fy-screens
nor mosquito bars.
''There is good rowing, bathing and
fishing. The rowing consists in polling
an old seow up and down, the bathing
ground has mud bottom, and when
you catch fish please let US know it.
Minnows furnished free to guests.
Which means twenty-five cents per
1ozen.
"The climate is salubrious. We
don't know what salubrious means, but
we have lots of rain, plenty of north
winds and very romantic fogs at night.
Fires extra. We never knew of any
one dying here, but perhaps that is be-
cause we promptly ship all sick folks
home before they have q chance to die.
''The table Of this house is supplied
with very poor meats, Chicago butter
inc, a fair grade ofpotatoes, adulterated
coffee, poor tea, second-class bread and
the usual assortment of pickles and
sauces. Children eating at the first ta-
bic will be charged full price. All
meals sent to rooms viii be extra.
''W ashing-lists will be furnished at
the Office, but the proprietor recon-
mends you to go over to the swamp and
wash your own shirts If you want extra
uiee work
''Our rates are So per day. or s'i5
per week. While the terms may seem
| high to you, you should remember that
we must make enough here in three
months to allow us to live like nabobs
the rest of the year.
''Any one who may object to leaving
good home, pure air, plenty to eat
and first class bed for the sake of en-
joying my privileges as mentioned
above, should at once consult an emf
nent physician. 1t is the eminent ply
sicians who recommend my hotel. -

A Beautiful Idea.

To an Engiishman who respects him-
self it must be disquieting to find that
for some of the most elementary con-
veniences of life he must go abroad.
1t is, for instance, q little humiliating
to know that it is perfectly possible to
be photographed at home, and yet that
there is no photographer in London
who is prepared to perform the process
in this luxurious way. fone, however,
goes across to Paris, one finds that, by
writing postcard, a photographer
will appear next morning completely
equipped for an operation. Ii is need
less, of course, to point out what diff
ferent thing being photographed at
home is to being photographed in what
is pleasantly termed ''studio.n There
is no climbing TO the sky, to begin with.
There is no waitiag till your predeces-
sor is satisfactorily disposed of; and
there is, besides, an entire difference of
demeanor on the part of the operator
The tyrant is no longer in his castle; he
is at your house. and you have only to
ring the bell to have him shown out.
He knows it, too. and the headrest is
found not to be indispensable. Besides
this, there are entirely new fields for
the Photographic practitioner. One
may be photographed, for instance, In
ones sleep, an occasion on which the
ugliest of us is said to be sometimes
beautiful if we only keep our mouths
shut. But the developments of the
idea are endless --St, james Gazette,

with bullet in my right leg. The
Indians had paid their gentle attention
to the rest of us during the time How
| ard was having his fight, unfortunately
not in force, and we succeeded in get
ting together at the wagon without the
loss of q man, being the only one
wounded in the whole engagement.
As soon as Howard joinedus we started
on the retreat for camp, the Indians
harassing US the whole way. They
would form in single file or all abreast,
and charge as though they were going
to ride right over us, but on getting
within short range would wheel and re-
tire, after discharging volley of shots
that would tear up the earth all around
us. This was most terrifying to me, a
boy fresh from school, who had never
experienced any sort of warfare, and
had never even seen gun fired by one
man at another-but Howard, who had
gone through four years of war of the
| rebellion. and had seen three years or
more of border warfare with Indians,
was quite exhilarated by the excite
ment. He gave them challenge by
walking alone several hundred yards
away on one side. They charged, but
retreated when he kneeled and fired
Arriving at camp after an hours ride
and running fight, we found the escort
thoroughly alarmed, and Just starting
out to pick up our dead bodies, for they
had seen SO many Indians about that
they made sure we were all killed.
1t was a scene of mutual re-
joicing and congratulation, as
we had feared that they had
met an untimely fate. A hasty council
of war was held as to what was to be
done. We were unanimous in the
opinion that it was folly to continue
work without q larger escort and per-
sonal body guard, besides it was ne
cessary that my wound should be
| dressed. Consequently it was decided
to turn our faces in the direction of
/ Sheridan, which we did, arriving there
| late in the afternoon, the Indians fol-
lowing us all the way seeking an OPP
portunity to attack us again. With
them it became question of revenge.
