Two Anecdotes q 1sssr oartvragAt.
Peter Cartwright was the name Of q
well. known Methodist pioneer. He
was sort of peregrinating pigeon,
who few over the hills and swamps up.

ing, and was as strong as he was brave,
At certain camp meeting he got into
trouble with set Of roughs who had
tried to break up the services. Maj. L.,
who was q prominent citizen, though 9
great ''sinner," identified himself will
the roughs, and, flying into q desperate
rage, said il he thought Cartwright
would fight him duel he would chsl-
lenge him.
"Major," the preacher answered, I'll
you challenge me I will accept il"
"Well. air, Idare you to q mortal com.
bat"
"All right, sir; I'll fight you. And
sir, according to the laws Of honor
suppose it 10 my right to choose the weap.
ons with which We are to fight"
Certainly" the Major replied.
well then, we will step over here
into this lot and get some cornstalks. ]

The Major waxed hotter. HI
clenched his fists and foamed with rage
saying: aIf I thought could whip

and the devil gets Into me, I shall give
you the worst whipping you ever got in
all your Life" That ended 1t.
Another bully threatened to whip the
Rev. Cartwright, who answered, "Sir,
I never like to live in dread. II yor
really intend to whip me, come and d.
it now"
The bully continued his curses and
threats, and the minister jumped off his
horse, and going TO him, said, "Look
here, you have to whip me as you threat.

baptize you in the name of the devil
for surely yon belong to him."
The bully repented, and afterwards
became one Of the preachers besi
friends.

"Do you think that he deserved such

II don't know. Thought we'd give

Mr.. Harvey Glidden hid his face with

Always throw it aside. He might write

II will no longer submit to your in

The shrewd daily man, quick to re.

laughed. II told the boys" said he,

A Cowboy Get. Ioose In Chicago,

A Cowboy Gets Loose In Chicago.
A cowboy from the North Fork Of
the River Platte got as far IS the Union
Stock Yards the other day on visit to
Chicago. As things seemed rather
home-like in that quarter he tarried
there for several hours, imbibing freely
and talking with unrestrained hilarity.
Some Of the natives gathered around
and took part in the conversation, and
after a while when the fighting began,
he declared, as he occasionally stopped
to get breath, that he hadn't had 90
much fun since he left home. 20, that's
elegant, he. would say, as some pork
packer would bowl him one against the
side of the head. s'That was Q beauty.
What do you think Of thatp Well,
now, I'm glad to make the acquaintance
Of you boys. You do me good. Pile
on me, why don't you? Take chat, you
long-leeged tenderfoot. Come at me,
Whoop! but that was good one. Who
was the gentleman that hit me
under the eara No shooting irons, now.
Just plain fun. There, I've laid two
of you out, I guess. Como on, some
more of you. You amt getting winded,
are you? Hit me once, hard. There,
that feels good. How do you like that
one, You mud maaher? I've good mo-
ton to hit you hard once. This reminds
me of time I had last winter on the
Niobrara, when the boys"
just then a policeman, who had been
advised Of the riot, crept in at the back
door, and, coming up behind the cow
boy softly, he dealt him blow on the
skull that sounded like rifle shot.
The gentleman from the North Fork
dropped like log, and, after lying in.
sensible for q moment, got up, looked
around wildly, felt of his head and or
served:
"That's the first time I was ever
tomahawked. Blessed if I knew You
had Injuns down here. How many was
killed? Where's the troops ~ Chicago

one Of those foolish things which even

before this her husband died and left
her tile old homestead, which was sit
uatet on small, but rather valuable
farm.
After the funeral expenses were paid,
her stock of ready money ran low.
Their income had been obtained by the
sale of hay, vegetables, eggs ETC., from
the farm, but these means of support
failed after Mr.. Carpenter died, fol-
Mrs. Carpenter, or Aunt Rhola as she
was generally called, was too feeble to
attend to things herself, and she had nc
money with which to hire help.
The only relative she had in the world
was Q niece, who had married wealthy
gentleman, and had been travelling
abroad for the last four years. Aunt
Rhoda had not heard from he,
for some time, and she had no prospect
Of immediate assistance from that quar-
ter, though il would probably have been
given readily had her niece known Of
her troubles, for on the death Of he,
parents had been q mother to her.
II guess il Annie Carpenter Mather
was here" Aunt Rhoda used to say when
her sore perplexities began, II shouldn't
be so bothered in my old age"
But Annie Carpenter Mather didn't
come. She probably had not received
Aunt Rhods's letter informing her Of
her uncles death, and the poor old wom-
an was ct her wits' end.
