invention consists of a neat metal plate fast
ening to the outside OF a boot or shoe heel,
arranged to prevent the COUNTERS from break

evenly. The attorney-gcneral of the United
State declared the Lyon patent invalid on

Swindled In n New Way.

A wealthy Southwick, Mass, farmer,
70 years old, was swindled out of 1000
by three-card monte sharpcrs. The trick
was played by n young fellow about 25
years old and 5O-year-old "Kentuck-
ian" The three-card monte scheme
was carried out IN the accepted way
until the finale was reached, when nm
original plan was adopted. The old man
was permitted to win $1,000 from tho
Kentuckian, and then the loser, show
ing SO, 900 in counterfeit bills, said he
did not think it right for Utley to take
the money until he proved that, had he
himself lost the bet, he could also have
paid. The younger man accordingly &C.
commodated the farmer to n two-mile
ride to tho Westfield. Mass, First Ma
tional Bank, where 81, 900 were secured.
The Kcntuckian was met about mile
from Utley's house. Utley got out and
handed his $1,000 to the young man, who
carefully counted the bills, declared
them correct, and handed them to the
Kentuckian. The latter jumped into the
carriage with his friend, and drove rapidly
away, leaving the farmer behind. The
sharpers probably went toward Sufiield,

RIstori's Plea.
A STORY OF A GREAT ACTRESS.

met one day last week, says O news
paper correspondent, an old lady who
Told me this story OF Ristori, OF whom
she spoke in terms Of most devoted
friendship. The story has never, she
told me, been printed before:
Madame Ristori was playing In the
city of Madrid, in the Royal Theatre.
She had carried the audience away In
the act by her great power, the curtain
had fallen on the first act, and unusually
long applause occurred. No one could
understand her absence. The time
came and passed when she should have
resumed play. What was the meaning
of her absence? As she was passing
from the stage, in the wings stood poor
woman, who caught her garment.
Madame" she said, "do you hear
that bell now tollingp"
eyes"
"That bell tolls for the death OF my
husband; he will die at sunrise to-mor.
row. Won't YOU" implored the woman,
"plead for me? The queen sits in the
box yonder. D."
The great tragedy queen went to the
royal box and begged for the life Of thai
mana man that she had no particular
interest in, but simply because he was
going to die. Madame Ristori pleaded
80 well with the queen that with pen
Gil she wrote his reprieve, and he was
saved. Meantime the truth had creep
out among the audience, and when the
curtain roso again the whole audience
sprang to their feet.
Tears ran like rain. Hats and hand
kerchiefs were waved, shout after shou
went up from the multitude-not for thu
tragic queen, but for the woman in
finitely greater--the woman that pleaded
for life and not in vain.

suffered intense pain in the kidneys and loins,

would grow worse again. She was obliged

This silent life not those wo love may share,
Though day by day We strive to draw then

Our sacred chamber-none may enter there,

Though all the world may turn from MS aside.
We own secret power that shall prevail

only drank one glass of beer then; now
he can drink six and eight, and he gets

Mrs. Ashton's countenance assumed O
serious change. She felt keenly the
force of the rebuke, but answered:
"Mr. Thompson sbould not give way

glass can do no HARM"

Wants to Know About IT.

In the United States Senate Mr..
Dawes offered resolution, which was
agreed to, calling on the Secretary OF
the Interior for information as to
whether any steps had been taken to
prosecute one Holferino for shooting an
Indian named Black Wolf. Holferino,
he said, was cowboy who made bet
with his friends that he could put rifle
ball through the Indians hat without
touching his head. He made slight
mistake, however, and put the bullet
through the head instead of the hat.
The Indians felt outraged by this, and in
the excitement they burned house be-
longing to the cowboys. The house.
burners were tried and sentenced to five
years imprisonment, but the man who
shot the Indian is still untried and un,
punished -
