was followed by a laugh, the laugh by
roar, and the last in turn by ''Well,

This was a new element in the scene
and increased the excitement to the

The next instant the speaker had
climbed over his companions knee to
the aisle. AS he did SO he showed a
frame of herculean proportions.
He strobe like a giant, and pair of
star spurs rendered ominously musical
every step as he advanced toward the
bridal pair He soon reached them,
and, standing before them with his hat
in his hand, said:
''Say, pardner, where [ come from,

He stopped to kiss the girl, but her
young man interposed; but the latter
was rudely drawn aside as if but a
child in the giants grasp. The kiss
seemed to be forthcoming. The hus-
band was held at bay by the osculator' s
left hand and the girl was being
dragged toward him by his right
Everybody was interested in witness
ing the scene. It was thought a shoot
ing might ensue. The bride, however,
was not greatly moved. A deep blush
suffused her oval features and a merry
twinkle lurked about her eyes. She
looked at the Drawn and muscle which
wanted to inclose her and the shaggy
lips which wanted to press hers, so in
nocent and pretty.
The face of the young man, on the
contrary, was colorless. A deep, ashen,
CHASTITY hue pervaded it, while a tremor
OF intense anger and modification shook
his frame. He saw he was powerless;
indeed, the jaunty and almost suspi-
cious air of the girl was beginning to
make him feel doubly SO, and that feel
ing was being followed by the more
poignant one that, deserted by her, life
was not worth living. He looked at
her, and as her eyes met his she saw
his anguish. In trembling, supplica-
ting tones he said:
"Ah, Kitty"
Those tones mastered the situation.
Just as the rough cowboy brought his
grizzly lips in close proximity to the
girls the young woman drew back,
wrenched herself from his grasp, and
with her open hand dealt him slap on
the cheek and jaw which sent him reel
ing to the corner. She followed him,
caught him by beard and hair, and
pulled them until he fairly yelled with
pain. The young man dragged her
away, while the would-be-kisser from
Sawtocth skunk back to his seat amid
the deafening yells of the passengers.
AS he did so the young woman, with
very loud and trembling voice, ex-
claimed:
Il amt no wax figger, and don't you
forget it,
And every passenger was willing to
swear that she wasn't.

Duel With q Fish.

| Every soul on board crowded to the
side to witness the duel. It was bound
to be war to the death. One or both
of the cOmbatants must die. The brute
was what is known as right shark,
and was about thirteen feet long. His
black and shining back, set with sharp
fins, made me shudder and grow DEATH
| " sick.
Ubukia met the first rush of the mon
ster by darling aside and letting the
huge bulk go by him. He made q
lunge with his sword at the tail as it
whisked past, and a thin line of blood
on the clear water told that his aim
had been good one. While the shark
was near he swan with half his body
out of the water, taking good care that
his legs were never much below the
surface; but when it went by dropped
to the neck and looked up at us with q
grin on his coffee-colored face.
'.Me kill um!' he shouted.
The next rush was similar to the
first, but this time, when the white belly
showed itself, Ubukia was besidei it. We
saw the point of his sword blade enter
its right eye, and then the native Owed,
coming up thirty yards away.
began to breathe easier now. The
fellow carried himself in the water
with as much ease as the fish itself,
and his sword gave him an advantage,
while the sharks inability to use its
jaws without turning over was another
point in his favor.
The fish seemed to be fairly madden
ed by the last wound, and we could

water for second, and then it went
down out of sight, leaving nothing but
the kanaka visible on the wide surface
OF water. If the sight of the monster
was horrible, how much worse was its
| disappearance. We did not know now
upon what side of the devoted swimmer
| it would come up, and we held our
breath, waiting as one waits when
diver has been under water for q long
time, and every minute seems an hour.
The grin had left the natives face,
and he kept whirling about like a tee
to-tum, ready to meet the attack at any
point.
After the lapse of a few moments the
familiar fin came into sight again, and
Ubukia's body rested with his eyes on
the enemy. There was no rushing on
the sharks part now. 1t advanced
slowly, ready to swerve with the slightest
motion Of the native. It seemed de-
termined to approach him so slowly that
its momentum could not possibly carry
it past him. He waited until its muz-
zle was not ten feet from him, and
then, assuming the aggressive, he dart
ed forward, buried his blade to the hilt
in its eye, and then swan leisurely to
the ship.
For ten minutes the water within a
radius OF many yards was dashed into
white foam by the dying struggles of
the monster. At times he would throw
himself completely out of the water,
showing us the whole of his round,
tapering body and ugly mouth. Final
ly, however, he rested belly upward
without a motion, and Ubukia's face
glistened with pride.
Good, said he, climbing into his
canoe; me kill UNI. Cor. Cincinnati

Peter Cooper's Sympathy with Women

Peter Coopers Sympathy with Women.
Mrs. Susan N. Carter, the head of
the Woman's Art School of the Coop
er Institute, contributes an anecdotal
paper to the December Century, in
which she says OF Mr.. Cooper's aims:
''' All l want he said, lis, that these
poor women shall earn decent and re-
spectacle livings, and especially that
they shall be kept from marrying bad
husbands
This subject Of unhappy marriages
seemed to be very prominent one in
MI. Cooper's mind. Thatwomen were
often imposed upon, were ill-used and
broken down, he had lively con-
viction; and all his chivalry and sense
Of fatherly protection-were enlisted to
save them, SO far as he could, from
these ordinary misfortunes. While the
world is now occupied with the ques-
ton of what women can be taught,
their higher education, and many kind
red subjects, Mr.. Gooper'6 acute genius
discovered, as by intuition, many years
ago, the relation Of women Of the mid
die class to society, to industries, and
the family. He saw that many of them
could not marry, and he realized what
must be the forlorn position of num-
Der of elderly daughters of a poor man.
He had noted the dangerous likelihood
of giddy, ignorant young girls marry
ing anybody for a home, even if the
men, they married were dissipated or
inefficient; and he had the tenderest
pity for poor widows or deserted wives.
He talked many times, and at great
length, on these subjects, and all cir
cumstances and any sort of incident
brought up this desire of his heart, to
help women to be happy, independent,
and virtuous.
''One of the last times he was at the
school, and while celebrated New
York clergyman was giving course
of Lenten lectures to women, Mr..
Cooper, with his face all animated with
his feeling about it, said: DIR. is
of the wealthy class, and he has been
used to deal with wealthy woman. The
world does not look like the same
place to him that it does me- If he
could be in my place for a month, and
read the letters [ get from poor and
suffering women, he would think that
it would be best to have them taught
anything which they could learn -
enable them to lessen all this trouble

Something About the Astors.

Look at the Astors. Only q few gem
erations ago and they were butchers,
selling meat to whoever would buy it;
now they are considered the most ex..
elusive family in New York. The As
tors. by the way, will celebrate the CEN
tennial OF the arrival of the first Aston
in New York some time next month.
Old John Jacob Astor came over here
from Germany a hundred years ago
and set up butcher shop in the Bow
cry, where he made great deal of
money. The brothers of the original
Astor were musical instrument makers,
and when the famous John Jacob start
ed in the fur business in New York he
had musical instruments as one of the
departments of his trade. Between
flutes and furs he made about $3.50, 900
in sixteen years. They were real mer-
chants in those days and owned their
own ships, and Mr.. Astor used to load
his own vessels with furs and send
them to London; from London they
would 60 to China and return to New
York with car load Of teas. It is said
that he often Melted as much as go, 600
on q single Importation of that article.
The greater part of his money, how
ever was made by judicious investments
in real estate. The Astors bought prop
erty up town when other people were
buying below Canal street. l believe
they own as many as 800 houses in the
most thickly populated uptown dis
trlcts. Most of their houses are built
OF grayish yellowstone, and are devoted
entirely to renting. The Astor home is
now on Madison avenue-at least that
is where Mr.. William B. Aston, the
senior member of the family, resides
and is built of the same cO1Ored stone
as his tenant houses. Over the front
entrance is glass and stone Enclosure
devoted to flowers, which breaks the
monotony of the stone walls and gives
II very pretty appearance from the
street. Mr.. William B. Astor looks ev-
cry inch the millionaire. He is not
pretty, but he is distinguished looking,
is tall and stout, with a ruddy COM
plexion and close-cropped mustache
and longish side-whiskers that grow
straight down from the ears. But Mr..
Astor is very much afraid of getting
too stout, and used to walk all the waV
from his Office, which was in the lower
part eff the city-Prince street, think
up to his house on Madison avenue.
This is about the only exercise most of
the New York men get They dislike
walking for walkings sake, but will
walk up or down town once day as q
sort of duty. l fancy they find it nee
essary, because most of these bankers
and brokers are high livers, and if they
DO not take some exercise are very apt
to be visited with ills that come from
high living. The wealth of the Astor
family now is said to amount to $5O,-
GOO, 600 apiece for William and John
Jacob, the two oldest. John Jacob has
but one son, William w. Aston, famil-
iarly known as Willie, the present
United States minister to Rome.-N

When His Heart Thawed Out"

One day two or three years ago q
grutf old man, hard-hearted and given
to drink, and living alone in house
on Gratiot street, found crippled boy
or 10 years of age crying in front Of
his door. 1t was his way to curse chill
dren and drive them away, but in this
instance he spoke kindly to the lad,
and even sympathized with him. For
that once his hardened heart seemed to
thaw out, and men who noticed his
kind action wondered greatly.
By and by the crippled boy, known
as jake, seemed to grow into the old
mans heart and spent hours with him
at his house. He was, so far as any
one could remember, the first and only
human being to say kind word for
| gpuff cid Ben
When the old man fell sick q few
weeks ago nobody missed him for sew
eral days. Indeed, no one cared much
whether he was sick or we'll, but some
one interested himself enough to dis
cover that the sick man was being
nursed by the cripple. The days and
nights must have been terribly lone
| some to the lad, but he was faithful to
the last. The other morning he quiet
ly announced to the neighbors that old
Ben was dead Those who went in
found the rooms in neat order, the dead
man lying as if asleep, and the money
to bury him was safe in an old wallet
in the bureau. When they asked jake
about it he explained:
'He died as easy as baby. Long
of fret ho p1aoA m onI
about his sickness, but after while he
let me read the bible to him, and some
times saw tears in his eyes.
.'Folks thought him hard man.
.'But he wasn't. When his heart
thawed out he was like child. One
day brought him from the chest lot
of old letters, the photograph of wo-
man and baby, and he cried over them.
guess they were dead, and I guess
he had had lots of trouble
"Did he die easy?".
"Just like going to sleep answered
the lad. cit was just daylight. l sat
by the bed and had fallen asleep, when
he put out his hand and whispered:
Jake, I'm dyingp With that Jump
ed up to do something, but he said it
was IOO ldLe. 1utIe was great clango
in him. All the hardness had gone out
of his face, his eyes had q kind look,
and the boys who used to be afraid of
him wouldn't have known him for the
same man. I was reading to him
from the old bible when all at once his
fingers let go of my hand and he was
Dead
ssAnd then?'
The boy turned away and wept.
From the day gruff old Ben had adj
dressed him word the prayers of q
child pleading for awicked man had been
heard in Heaven. He had prayed for
him in life and after death, and if the
prayer had not brought that peaceful
look to the white, dead face, what else
could have done it.-Detroit Free Press.

At the Grave Of Charles Wolfe. !

+Wolfe, the poet. is buried in Clonmel Parish
Churchyard. Queenstown, of which this is the
cemetery was early a resort for cOnsumptives.
Where the graves are many, we looked for
one,
oh, the Irish rose was red,
And the dark stones saddened the setting
With the name of the early dead.
Then child who, somehow, had heard of him
In the land we love so well,
Kept lifting the grass till the dew was dim
In the Churchyard Of Clonmel.
The sexton came. scan you tell us where
Charles Wolfe is buried?' IT can.
See that is his grave in the corner there.
lAy, ne was clever man
If God had spared him y It's many that come
To be looking for him!' said he
But the boy kept whispering, mot drum
Was heard lin the dusk to me-
(Then the gray man tore vine from the wall
OF the roofess church where he lay,
And the leaves that the whitening year lei
He swept with the ivy away;
And, as we read on the rock the words
Right over his bosom a shower OF birds
In music fell to the grOund)
Young Poet, wonder did you care,
Did it move you in your rest,
To hear that child in his golden hair
From the mighty woods of the West,
Repeating your verse of his own sweet will
To the sound of the twilight bell,
Years after your beating heart was still
In the churchyard of ClOnmel?
