SEEKING A PAREYT.-Some days ago
Postmaster Chamberlin received a let
ter from some fellow down in Arkan-
saw inquiring the whereabouts Of his
paternal ancestor. The letter runs
along smoothly enough with inquiries
for awhile but finally gets down to
business in this fashion; "This is the
third time l have wrote TO you about
this and l don't believe in you treating
me in such a way as that now this is
the last time that / am going to write
to you about this matter the next time
that / write / shall write to the gen.
eral post master about you and see
what l can do for you SO now you bet
ter come to time with the business and
/ want you to do it up correct to and
address your letter to Portia, Lawrence
Go Ark" The inquiring one vas in
formed that the unseemly delay was
occasioned by reason Of the extent OF
this country and the time required in
making a thorough search. He was
told further that owing to his impa-
thence for a report the emisaries OF
the p~ostoffice had been compelled to
neglect searching through the Wichita
reservation and that IL his father was
anywhere in this Territory he must be
there. Even %postmasters' lives il
seems are sometimes clouded.

"PAGEs FROM CHERoKRE HIsToRY."--
We have received a copy Of the third
and revised edition Of pages From
Cherokee History" by Miss Nevada
Couch, for which we return thanks.
II is a beautiful pamphlet, printed in
colors and on tinted paper. The me-
chanical execution is excellent. On ac-
count Of its interest and value as a
historical document, the authorship
has been claimed for some half dozen
persons other than herself, each OF
whom has in turn disclaimed it. This
Is a high con pliment TO the writer's
ability. Prof. Cundail assures us that
the authorship fairly belongs to Miss
Couch, TO whom ii is copyrighted, and
not to anyone else; that she entered
ON the task reluctantly and only or
the pledge that the material should be
collected for her use, which collecting
Prof. Cundall says he did himself and
at much pains; that most OF the paper
was written by Miss Couch in his pres,

Commencement papers were, page by

has been given to the revision since II

WHISKY SPILLED. - Marshal Isbell
succeeded in capturing a gallon jug of
whisky at the Frisco depot last Sun
day. 1t came by express from Seneca
and was spilled before the owner came
after it. Next time the party takes a
fancy he is thirsty it is likely he will
not trust to express companies but will
attend to the matter in person. The
consignee in this case was not one of
our residents, but halls from Arkansas.

Courage

In Paris lately at a meeting of scien-
tifc men, q German physician appeared
who, it was annouced, would lecture on
the cholera germ.
He was q little deaf and a little near
sighted, and bending over his desk, his
spectacles close to it, announced that
he proposed to illustrate his remarks by
the germs themselves.
ST have here the cholera bacilli,
dried" he said, proceeding to unite O
small box.
The assembled savans glanced anx
iously at the box and each other, be-
ginning to grow pale,
81 hear somebody calling outside, "
said one nearest the door, as he backed
out Of il.
81 have a patient" gasped an4.har,
al he disappeared. When the lecturer
looked up, he was alone with his box.
Every seat was vacant.
Yet these men faced contagious DIS
eases every day. It was the novelty Of
the danger that unnamed them. M.
Pasteur lately took o general officer
who has passed through many bullets
with the courage of a lion, to his labor
atory, in which were confined at the
time two dozen dogs in different de-
grees. Pasteur approached a cage in
wbica one massive bulldog lay dying,
swapping vicioasly ct every shadow
that fell on him.
"Just hold his jaws open with this
iron, while / Withdraw some of the
virus" said the experimenter, syringe
in hand.
"Oh, certainly" replied the officer,
nervously. But before he could put
the forceps into the mouth of the dog,
he had staggered back almost in .
swoon.
Courage is, after all, very much a
matter of familiarity. A delicate wom-
an is calm and self-possessed IN q sur
geon's tent oE the battle field, If she is
used to wounds and deaths. Dorothy
Patterson, young and beautiful, became
the solitary nurse of a smallpox hospi-
tai, carrying out the dead in her "
arms. She was accustomed to small
pox.
We can train ourselves, by becoming
familiar with dangers, for increased
usefulness in life. But most young
girls train themselves in terrors OF
harmless, necessary objects to increased
helplessness; with a certain incompre-
hensible pride, too. in both these ter
rors and their worthlessness.-Youth'
Companion.

A very bud Of promise, and
The father called her wild"
A wild Rose, then, she was to all,
The sweetest flower that bloomed and grew
On breezy hill, in woody deb,
Midst daisies kissed by dew.
The wears were numbered one by one,
With much of i'll and much Of good,
Until our Wild Rose, fresh and fair,
Blushed into womanh0od.
And then there came the low'ring clouds
OF circumstance, the murky fog
OF actual life, and she was wed-
Her husbands name was Hogg.
