"a Rale stout Man."

"Yas, yas," smiled the old country
man, as he stood talking to city chap,
who seemed to know him, ''thar's a
heap o. tricks played on the kentrymen;
they gifts sucked in lots o. times. But
1 kinder fgger that the sharper what
tries to draw wool over my eyes III git
git lef' purity bad" '.I'll bet you are a
good one," answered the stranger pat
roniZingly, 81 can tell man when he's
green" The rustic poked him in the
side, and pulling down his eye, laughed:
''D'ye see any green theTe?" Not a
bit of It," merrlly replied the other;
then IN an advising tone he continued;
1--we seen more of the world than you
have, and would like to say that the
most important action is conceallng the
money" "Oh, I've got thet down
fine," broke in the countryman, point
ing to his left sleeve, dye see that 'ar
little bumpp Well, thar's the cash, in
side o. the linin', and nobody can take
it out Thought me knowin' it." A
few moments after they parted, the
countryman going into clothing store
to do some buying. He had made his
purchase and was waiting for the bill,
when one of the statesmen approached him
and said: "Can't sell you nice coat?"
mot me, "answered the farmer; ''I've
got a plenty o. them fxins." ''But, L
see the sleeve of the one you have on
has been torn or cut, and, if you wish,
one of the ladies will mend it for you. !"
With ghastly look the farmer jerked
off his coat and viewed the wrecked
sleeve. Then, turning to the clerk, he
said sorrowfully: "Mlster. kin ye tell
me whar L kin git rale stout man to
kick DANCED fool Outin town"

friend is employed 10 do it. So the
Saxon King Edgar found it when he
sent his friend Athelstane to report on
the charms of lady called the most
beautiful in the kingdom, and to offer
her the Office OF Queen should she prove
to be as lovely as reported. But Ath-
elstane tell in love with her himself,
and wooed and married her, and then
told the King she was not beautiful at
all, only being rich. When the King
found out how he had been deceived,
Athelstane had to lose not only his
beautiful wife and her wealth, but his
head into the bargain.
A writer, whose veracity, however,
we dare not vouch for. gives the fol-
lowing as an actual statute recorded in
the old Saxon code, giving to the lady
the privilege that she has taken such
poor advantage of:
"Albeit, as often as leape yearre doth
occure, the womanne holdeth preroga-
tive over the manne in matters OF
courtship, love and matrimonie; so that
when the lady propOSeth it shall not be
lawful for the manne to say her nae,
but he shall entertain her proposal in all
guide courtesie,p
However, whether this law was ever
placed on record or not, the practice of
female proposals was never adopted,
and seems never to have been more
than tradition. There have been in
stances, OF a woman who dared, but
not many, for the risk Of refusal was
too serious a one TO run. How the
Princess Louise of Savoy ever recovered
from her humiliation after having
offered herself to Charles, Duke of
Bourbon, only to receive a grave but
positive refusal, few women can under
stand. Ladies, however, are permitted
to assist bashful wooer.

The Veterinarian.

There is a pressing need of more
educated veterinary surgeons in this
country, in fact, such professional men
are scarcely to be found at all in some
sections, even where the most valuable
stock is raised. The numerous medical
colleges graduate thousands of doctors
annually. but the few veterinary schools
are not overcrowded. When 1t is con-
sidered that the live stock Of the cOun-
try is worth 81 ,000, ,000, 600, and that a
single animal is sometimes valued at
several thousand dollars, it is clear that
there is lucrative employment in caring
Tor the health OF these animals and
preventing loss. Now, the horse
Doctors are too often quacks, ignorant
alike of diseases and remedies. Young
men of education could hardly do better
than to specially fit themselves for the
veterinary calling, which Is pleasant

The Historical Game.

A very interesting and lnstructiv
game is the historical game. All the
players-the number of players need
not be imited-sit in a circle. One
from the number Is chosen. and he or
she must leave the room. The remain
ing players fix upon some historical
character, such as Gen. jackson, Mary
Queen of Scots, Hannibal or Bismarck.
After they have agreed the absent one
is told to return. He then proceeds to
ask a question from each Of the players.
For instance, he would say to the first
player: sis it man or womanp" The
person must answer the question under
the penalty of forfeit. What nation
does he belong to?" The next person
must answer. So questions are asked
until the player can form his conclusion
as to who the person is.

Made Tracks.

In illustration of the quality with
which Gen. Gordon has to deal, it is re-
lated that in 1921 Ismail, son of Mehe-
met Ali. the conqueror of the Soudan,
was ordered by his father to collect the
tribute due from the tribes of Bedouins
of Shendy on the Nile. half way be-
tween Berber and Khartoum. Ismail
summoned a cheiftain known as the
Tiger, and told him to furnish large
amount of forage and fodder in lieu of
a money payment. Mex morning Is
mail and his troops found with satis-
faction piles of the stuff demanded
around the camp, but their salts
faction was short-lived. The stuff was
soon set on fire, and those not burned
were picked off by men lying in wait
behind the burning piles. Mehemet to
avenge his roasted son, razed the town
of Shendy, but the Tiger made tracks
in good time into the fastnesses Of the
interior.

He Robbed Stewards Grave.

A correspondent had an interview
with an unnamed detective, who saws
that in the summer and fall Of 1892
Chief of Police McGarigle, of Chicago,
and two or three detectives held nego-
tiations with Lewis G. Sweigels. then
serving term for robbery in the Ches-
ter, Ill. penitentiary under an assumed
name. SweigelS, who was known to be
a professional grave robber, and was
concerned in the attempt to rob the
grave Of President Lincoln, told very
complete, circumstantial, and cOnsiS-
tent story of the robbery of A. T.
Stewart 5 grave by himself, Larry Gavin,
and keeper of saloon in Fourteenth
street, New York. Sweigels promised
to restore the body only on condition
of his pardon from the penitentiary and
receiving part of the reward.
His pardon was secured, and, accord
ing to the detectives story, a syndicate
with capital Of $4,000 was formed,
which included McGarigle, Detectives
Capin and Lansing, and E. J. Lehman,
all of Chicago, for the purpose of work
ing up the case and securing 100000
from Judge Hilton for the return of Mr..
Stewart s remains. Two or three visits
were made to New York, and negntla-
tiOns were conducted through Mrs.
johnson, female detective of New
York. and at one time connected with
the Chicago force. Inspector Byrnes,
of New York, became offended because
he was not consulted after the tirst visit.
The remains were finally returned upon
the payment of So, 600 by Judge Hilton,
''as an evidence of which Sgeigels had
plenty of money about that time"
Interviews with MeGarigle and the
detectives are also published. They
deny the formation of a syndicate to
work on the case. McGarigle admits
the general details of the story, includ-
ing Swejgels' pardon and the subsequent
negotiations in New York, but says
that they finally became disgusted with
Sweigels because he trifed with them,
claiming that the daughter of the ex-
pressman who carried the remains TO
the place where they were buried in
stigated her father to remove them Sc
cretly to anothor spot unknown to Swell
gels The latter could obtain no infOr-
nation from the woman as to the where
abouts Of the body.
McGarigle says he became convinced
that this was merely a trick of Sweigels'
to secure pardon, and that the nego-
tiations were broken off before the re-
mains were returned and never resumed.

WORK.

Some find work where some find rest
And so the weary world goes on;
I sometimes wonder which is best,
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
1 often wonder why it's SO.
Some hands fold, where other hands
Are lifted bravely IN the strife;
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt while some feet tread,
In fireleSs march, a thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed
Some seek, when others shun the fray
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their names, above grave.

Altar OF Roses.

To please the voluptuous Jehangir, it
is said, his favorite sultana caused the
bath in the palace garden to be filed to
the brim with rose-water. The action
of the sun soon concentrated the oily
particles which were found floating on
its surface, and the attendant, suppos-
ing the water to have become corrupt,
began to skim it for the purpose of TAX
ing off the oil. The giobules burst
under the process, and emitted such a
delightful odor that the idea of prepar-
| ing this beautiful perfume was at once
suggested,
