The following story comes in from
Michoacan: An Indian went outside the
town of Cherantzicurin, State of Michoa-
can, to look for some fuel in the noun
tain near by. While cutting up a dry
oak he felt bite on the calf of his leg
given in the fraction Of a second. Amo-
ment later he felt coiling round his body
the terrible folds of a boa-constrictor.
Instinctively he leaned his head over
toward the wounded lel and was almost
fascinated by the glare of two bright
basilisk eyes that cleaned like fiery
Goals in the head of the serpent. Quick
er than a fash the Indian ducked his
head and caught the neck of the reptile
in his teeth, clinging TO it with the des-
peration Of the dying. The huge ser.
pent lashed his tail and tried to twist
his head to bury his fangs in the India n
but the latter clung on and began to
chew away at the neck ofthe boa, which
Is the thinnest and softest part of its
anatomy. After chewing for long time
the Indian succeeded in beheading his
antagonist, the folds dropped eff and

His suspic,ons were Confirmed.
Boston Globe,

A mild-mannered, athletic-looking
young man stepped up toa stranger at
the corner of Milk and Devonshire
streets yesterday and pulled a twenty
dollar bill out of his waistcoat pocket.
II suspect" said he, confidentially, that
is counterfeit. Can you tell me if it
is ?"
The stranger look the bill over and
handed it back, saying that he couldn't
tell himself whether it was bad or net,
but if the mild-mannered, athletic-look-
young man would step over to the sub
Treasury in the Post Office he could very
readily find out, he was sure.
The young man crossed over and pre-
sented the bill 10 the clerk behind the
bars. He suspected the twenty was bad,
he said. The clerk turned it over and
held it up to the light. Then he went
over to corner of the enclosure and
brought big heavy stamp down on the
bill. When he handed ii back to the
mild-mannered young man the WORD

letters. ..t .a t.

N. Y. Evening Post.

A man, for having successfully played
this trick in Chicago is now in prison:
Enter drug store or grocery and ask
for cake of soap and tender $40 bill
in payment. The clerk returns IS bill
and $3.50 in change. Then discover that
you already had 10 cents in change,
which you put with the $3.50, asking the
CLERK at the same time to give you q $5
bill for the change. After getting the
bill, pull out the first IS bill and say to
the clerk: Here is IS more-just give
me back the $l0." Simple as this plan
is it frequently fools the confused clerk,
and leaves the customer $3.50 and . cake

expectedly in an out-of.the-way suburb,
and tracked her TO house ON a small
street running from the Rue des Platri-
eres, outside the for liGcations. On being
arrested she was subjected to the usual
examination. She said she had nothing
to conceal. On finding that her husband
had deserted her she waited patiently
for some months expecting his return;
after that she used all her efforts to find
out whittier he had gone. She had no
idea where he had oeen brought up, as
lac had never informed her. She went
to Brest where he had married her, and
made inquiries. There she learned that
the police authorities had had INQUIRIES
some time previous for Pierre Jurisey.
and these she found came from Reims.
Thither she went and hired room.
After sorne time she ascertained that a
person she supposed to be her husband
was the owner of q fine yineyard AT
Suippes. She found an opportunity to
see the man and at once identified him.
She learned that he was to be married
and the day was fixed. She went on the
day appointed TO the house, disguised,
and mingled with the throng there un-
Observed. Then she sought out the
bride and communicated to her the fact
that she was Pierre Jurisey's lawful wife,
and after that she returned.to Reims and
awaited the result When she heard of
the killing OF Pierre she was stricken
with fear, and thought that II she was
discovered to have been in the neighbor-
hood she would be suspected and arrest
90, and then she returned to Paris.
All that she had said was confirmed
by witnesses as far as it was possible,
and the mysterious murder of Pierre was
- far ffom being solved as ever.

Birmarck Tribune (before election): /:
Jimmy Emmons, who is we'll es.
tablished in the minds of the people Of
Borliegh county as ''crank," for the
Tribune to attempt to disprove it, has
been out in the country the past few
days circulating snipes, IN other words,
handbiils. setting forth that there Turks
in the capitol building a. ghost. and
warning the farmers to beware of any
man who ever had anything to do IN
getting the seat of government located
at Bismarck. The document claims the
capital to be curse to Bismarck and
holds that Mckenzie and others who are
workinR night and day TO protect the
interests Of the people, are snakes whose
heads ought to come off. These docu-
ments will have little weight however
for there are few indeed, in Burlelgh
county who do not know that the men
most maligned by Emmons, are those
who have done the most good for this
county. Until the insane asylum ai
Jamestown is finished, there seems nc
way to get rid of such cranky dema
gogues as Emmons.

Cnndor.

Even in the most honest minds there
are depths of deceit. Society reposes on
q thin crust of convention, underneath
which lie fathomless possibilities of
crime. Friendship. however close and
dear, is not free from its reserved, un-
spoken beliefs, more or less suppressed
opinions. The man whom you indig-
antly defend against any accusation
brought by another, SO confident are you
in his unshakable integrity, you may
yourself momentarily suspect Of crimes
fur exceeding those which you repudlate.
Indeed. I have known sagaclous men to
hold that perfect frankness in express.
ing the thoughts is sure sign of
imperfect friendship; something is al.
ways suppressed aud it is not he who
loves you that "tells you candldly what
be thinks" of your person. your preten.
eions, your children or your poems.
Perfect candor is dictated by envy or
some other unfriendly feeling. making
friendship stalking horse, under cover
of which it shoots the arrows which will
rankle. Friendship is candid only when
candoris nrgent--meant to avert impend
ing danger or to rectify an error. The
candor which is an impertinence. never
springs from friendship. Love IS
sympathetic.

It was a we'll settled conclusion quit

IL was well settled CONCLUSION quite
early this morning that Blaine and
Logan had carried the election for the
presidency and vico presidency. New
York was the state upon which the
hopes and fears of the contendlng politi.
cal forces hinged and it is finally demon.
strated that the republican nominees
have carried that state by about, 1000
majority. This gives to them vote Of
2l8 in the electoral college,
seventeen more than q ma
lority, counting Indiana for Cleve-
land and Hendricks, which is not certain
at this writing. The democrats. as
usual, have carried the south and two
northern states. New Jersey and Con-
necticut, with possibility that Indiana
will fall into the democratic line. The
victory for Blame and Logan is pro-
nounced one, though the small majority
in New York may lead to democratic
effort to overtnrn the eresult by throwing
out republican vntes. 1t is openly as
serted by democrats that this will BE-
done, but the republican party is not in
the temper to yield to any such manipu.
lation. As New York voted it must be
counted. Upon this declaration the re.
publican party will stand.
Later-2 p. m.-Since the foregoing
was put in type there has been change
in the face of the returns and the demo.
Gratis of New York are celebrating over
the supposed election of Cleveland and
Hendricks.
