he, with Peter Rasmus, was
blamed for having kept the half-breeds
from joining Big Bear. Young asked for
military protection, as Big Bears men said
they were coming back with stronger
force to raid the whole settlement and kill
every one who would not join them. The
Beaver Lake Indians are very peaceable
and express regret for doing what they have
done, fearing that they

Home guards have been organized for
the protection of the mission and other

are on an island in the lake and
some, including Mrs. Young, had gone
down Lac La Beche river towards the Atha-

there be any unless troops are stationed
there. One White Fish Lake band under
Pakand, who are friendly, had taken to the
woods to avoid being taken by Big Bears
men. One of the latters scouts had been
fired on by one of Pakard's band. They

Lunch Fiends.

=
Alex E. Sweet in the Arkansas Traveller.
The lunch fend is hardly ever below the
rank of colonel If he is below the rank
of colonel he is usually called tramp. He
has carved out his own fortune with his
trusty knife blade. He is usually decayed
politician who has had great deal of
! practical experience at the public crib in
former years. He. never strOlls into
the banquet hall timidly, with subdued
air as much as to say, with Paul Pry, ST
hope don't intrude." On the contrary he
stalks up to the lunch table with the intre-
pid tread of hungry mule to peck of OATS
The proprietor used to kick at first, but has
long since yielded to the inevitable. At
first the proprietor Squandered some deli
cate sarcasm on the fend. He would go
up to the masticator and laying friendly
hand ON his shoulder ask in a concerned
tone of voice, ''Colonel, amt you, afraid
you will burst yourself wide open?" or,
Colonel, don't you want chair and a
napkin?" or, Colonel, next time you want
to drink five-cent glass of beer and hoist
in So worth of lunch just go to brewery
and I'll send you your dinner" All this
sarcasm has about as much effect on the
lunch fend as pinching the horn of an ox-a
dead ox-has ON the OK. The impeculious
lunch fiend is always polite to his benefactor.
the proprietor. He will even Dor.
row quarter from him, without being in
vited to do so, although he isnot disposed
to be sociable with everybody. Nothing in
the world can induce lunch fiend to aban-
don his banqueting house, unless it is better
fare, and more of it, at some other eStab-
lishment. He goes only where there is the
best the market affords, and nothing can
persuade him to quit taking in
freight. A large quantity of dy-
Mantle might move him a short
distance away from his field of operation.
but nevertheless he would soon be back
with renewed appetite and his usual
sunny smile. He unites the voracity of the
shark with the digestive organs of the
ostrich, when those animals are right
healthy, so the prejudiced master of the
feast contends. It is hardly necessary to re-
mark, en- passant, that the impecunious
lunch fiend is sacrilegious cuss and never
keeps Lent.
On the other hand the beast of prey hints
that there are too many lunch fiends about
the establishment, and that something
should be done to eradicate them, and
then he says: -sGive me another big
slice of that beef; the last was a little
too fat, and few more potatoes and gravy,
plenty OF gravy if you please: and another
plate OF bread and plenty of yermicelli; it is
neatly, little of it is, and some salad.

or oysters, like they do at the ether saloon,
and fresh napkin. can't eat much now.

takes his temporary leave he does it with
the air OF prince abdicating the throne.

A Bond Decision.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-An interesting
question in regard to United States bonds
has been decided by Judge Durham, first
comptroller of the currency. Mr.. Frennit,
citizen of Belgium, recently presented for
redemption three mutilated coupon bonds
of 81, 900 each, which he said he had
found in Brussels in 1874. The
first comptroller refused to consent
to their redemption on the gronnd that the
finder of the notes only has a qualified in
terest in them and simply holds possession
of them against all persons except the right
full owner. He holds that the finder of the
bonds acquired no title therein as against
the owner or the government by which they
were issued and cannot maintain an action
for their redemption. He further holds, in
regard to the mutilated bonds, that they
cannot be redeemed unless the treasury de-
partment is satisfied that the parts pre-
sented are all that remains of the bonds.
In other words, the unproduced parts must
be satisfactorily accounted for.

he will be candidate for congress next

Dear chubby hands kissed quite brown by the
And a voice like the brooks, full of laughter

And now has been gone such weary long

She may have have, gone down where the chatter
Runs round on itself with a queer little
crook,
Perhaps she forgot she was running away,
Or 1t may be the fairies, by some mystic
spell,
Have lured her away to their haunts in the
dell.
If once they find out what darling she is
l fear they will keep her TO love and to kiss.
Perhaps she lay down somewhere under a
tree
Where the leaves with the sunbeams are
dancing nglee,
And gazing way up Mt the blue summer sky,
To watch the white clouds as they sail slowly
by,
She, too, may have sailed into dreamland
away
wonder, wonder how long will she stay?
Oh, if you should see her. pray tell her from

That mammals as lonesome as lonesome can

And if she has gone with the fairies to stay,
Or Off into dreamland has drifted away,
I'll have to adopt some poor wandering elf

THE THUNDERSTORM.

The heat grew torrid, and DER the land
All covering hung the pulseless air,
Anon that danced so blithe and bland
With cooling presence everywhere.
The earth was parched. and even the sea
Grew lazy meath the sway OF the sun,
And slowly crept, where erst In glee
A-beach it leaped, with silvery run.
But harkl rumble from out OF the west
Where low in the dim horizon lies
A thunder-cloud with silver crest,
UWhich wakes a breeze that the sun denes
High up to the zenith it curls and leaps,
While the lightning-darts like bayonets
flash.
And far to either horizon creeps
The army of clouds as the thunders crash.
The cowardly air that crouched meath the
heat,
It's courage renews as the coud-ho sts come,
And whistles and flies at the awesome beat
hOf heavens grand artillery drum.
The lightnngs fash, and the thunders break
And the cavalry drops come rafting downs
While the marshalled rainfall in their wake
In regiments rush, from king to clown.
The air, grown frolicsome once again,
PLAYS hide and seek mong the forest
wreaths,
And dances lightly while the rain
A pattering music quantity breathes.
And catching the inspiration, too,
From electric batteries overhead,
And leaping up as the clouds TO woo,
The sea awakes as from the dead.
A crash and another long and dread,
when sudden hush falls all arOund,-
And the sky, Just now as heavy as lead,
With a sudden gush and glow is crowned.
The rainbow bright for a moment CLEANS, :
Then slowly fades from the sky away,
When the earth seems bright as the land OF
dreams
Ere the scales of sleep are brushed away
