Phillips was the typical green backer, and il was

they figure up his estate it comes to about

personal property had shrunk TO 81 900 through
his crazy investment of tens of thousands in all
sorts of wildcat concerns. And il is worthy of

A New York Herald special from st. Peters
burg, May II, says: The GEAR sent an aide-de-
camp to summon NJ. de Giers in hot haste to
his presence. When the minister arrived the
car opened the conversation by saying: "M.
de Giers, you have been promising far too
much"
NJ. de Giers, embarrassed, replied "sire, my
statements have been exaggerated in London"
The czar rejOined: "My statements have been
exaggerated in my own ministry Of foreign af-
fairs. The case is this: You have been hammer
ing away at me for the last five weeks to obtain
my consent to a sort of quasi arbitration on
immaterial points in order to save to

resort, was ready to agree to this merely to
enable Mr.. Gladstone to back out of a c,sl de sac
with grace. Then you go and tell Lord Gran
vile, Sir Edward Thornton and Baron de
Staal that was prepared for a real arbitration.
Then your statement is in turn exaggerated
in London. until at least everybody seems to
take 1t for granted that Russia Is ready to yield
and disgracefully submit to a foreign decision
on matters that concern solely Russia and
Afghanistan. No, NJ De Giers, i shall never
give up any single essential point, nor allow
any reflection to be placed upon General
Komaroff, Who throughout has actedNN dis
cretion and moderation"
After this NJ de Giers offered his resignation,
which, however, thanks to the mediation of the
empress, was not accepted. NJ. de Giers' position
Is rather shaky, but it is still firmly believed
here that war has been averted.

DOG FOR SUPPER.

Indians Who Raise Colonies Of Dogs for
the Luxury Of Eating Them
1t is a curious and strange fact that
the North American Indian of all tribes
will turn away from the choicest beef,
venison, or buffalo hump, if he can be
sure of getting dog instead; and
many of the tribes raise colonies Of
dogs for the same purpose that we do
beeves. Once let Cheyenne get hold
of dog for cooking purposes, and he is
fixed for the week. took a peep into
the lodge Of Iron Shirt, and there lay a
fine dog before the Goals, nice and
brown to turn, all ready for supper.
As there were no dogs in camp, I in
guired of Rowland how it happened
that Iron Shirt was SO fortunate in Sc
curing one. Rowland questioned that
brave on the subject, and l learned that
party of English tourists had paid q
visit to the camp few days previous,
out Of curiosity, and that the dog was
theirs. From the moment the doomed
canine entered the Indian village Iron
Shirt had kept his covetous eyes glued
upon the animal until, watching his
chance. he secured the prize and spir-
tied it out of sight until the Englishmen
had taken their departure. The dog
was a Gordon setter and had been
brought along by the tourists for hunt
ing purposes. Iron Shirt did not con-
slider his action in the case wrong or
improper. as stealing is looked upon as
a virtue rather than a crime by all red
men, and that is why the Cheyennes
happened to have dog for supper on
this particular evening.-Fort ReOgh

Five Little Fishes.

Captain Beckett, of the British ship
Amana, now in port, has shark story
which merits place in nautical Gtera-
ture, because it bears the imprint of re-
ality. and can be proved by the affida-
Wits of Captain Beckett and of every
member of his crew. When his ship
was off Montevideo she was becalmed
for several hours. A shark with
five little ones hung around tho ves-
sci all day. As soon as there was
commotion on the water the mother
would open her mouth and the little
ones would dart inside for protection.
For amusement the sailors threw bits
of refuse overheard among the family,
disturbing the water, each time with
the same result The young quintet
Immediately disappeared down the
capacious countenance of their protect
or. On the following morning a shark
hook and line, baited with pork, was
thrown overheard, and in q short time
a shark was landed on deck. Upon
being opened it was discovered to be
the very same fish which had amused
the boys the day before, because five
young sharks were safely slowed away
under her tongue.-Portiand Oregonian.

CHAPTER XIV.
IRON GRIEF TO JOY.

NY tale is drawing to an end, al.

write chapter after chapter. detailing
every occurrence of the next month
describing every look. repeating every
word that passed between Pauline and
myself, but if l wrote them they would
be sacred from all persons save two
my wife and myself.
If nv situation was an anomalous one
it had at least a certain charm. 1t was
q new wooing, none the less entertain
ing and sweet because its object hap
pened to be already my wife in name.
1t was like landowner walking over
his estate and in every direction finding
unsupported beauties and unknown
mines of wealth. Every day showed
me fresh charms in the woman loved.
Her smile was q joy greater than l
had ever pictured, her laugh a revela-
ton. To gaze into those bright uu-
clouded eyes and strive to learn their
secrets was a reward that repaid me for
all that suffered. To find that her in
tellect, now restored, was fit to be
matched with any one e's-to know that
when the time came l should be given
not only wife, beautiful in nv eyes,
above all women, but companion and
a sympathetic friend-how can l de-
scribe my rapture?
Yet it was rapture not unmodified
by doubts and fears. 1t may be that
my character lacked that very useful
trait called by some self-contidence,
and by others conceit. The more
saw to love and admire in Pauline, the
more l asked myself how could dare
to expect that so peerless creature
would condescend to accept the love
and the life l wished to offer her? !

mas came from
When they got there, Liph's father
/ and the hired man and Grandfather
Vrooman were ready to lift off that
Christmas tree and carry it through the
front door and hall, and set it up in the
dark room" at the end of the hall.
That ought to have been the incest
room in the house, for it was right in
the middle, but there were no windows
IN 1t. There were doors in every direc-
ton, however, and in the center of the
ceiling was ''scuttle hole" more than
two feet square, with wooden lid on
it.

to MIR. Hardy, well hoist the top of
the tree through the hole. You 90 up
and open the scuttle. Hitch the top

before he got into the house. He tried
to run away, too"
Bijah's short legs had been too tired
to carry him very fast, and Grand
mother Vrooman and Mrs. Hardy had
caught him before he got back to the
gate.
The way they laughed about it gave
him a great deal of courage, and he
never cried when they took him by his
red little hands, one on each side, and
walked him into the house.

will we do with him? The house'll be

an extra bed"
Father found him in the snow some
where. Just like him. But what a
rosy little dot he is?''
''Are you Santa Claus wives?" asked
Bijah. with quiver of his lip in spite
of himself.
How they did chuckle when they
tried to answer that question! All they
made clear to BUah was that the place
for him was in hiS chair before the
sitting-room fireplace, with a plate of
mince-pie in his lap, and Bush, the big
house-dog, sitting beside him.
ITS Santa Claus dog" said Bif,h
to himself; ..but his house isn't as big
as the 'sylum."

value Of the prize aimed at, l grew

haps it was the idea which at times
came to me, that Pauline remembered
more than she would own to, kept me
steadfast in this resolution.
1t was curious the way in which she
at once fell into friendly, unconstrained
intercourse with me. We might have
known each other from childhood, so
perfectly natural and unembarrassed
was her manner when we were to-
gether. She made no demur when l
begged her to call me by my Christian

CUSHION STUFFlNG.
An Insight of Some of the Tricks OF the
Trade by . Repairer.
In the rear of small harness-shop
in q New Jersey village, the other day,
the proprietor was making a humping
noise and raising big dust by pound
ing with whip-stock heap of curly
black hair, which he had taken out of
an old carriage cushion.
"What are you pounding that hair
for?" was asked when he stopped to
get . breath and wipe the moisture
from his forehead with a red cotton
handkerchief.
1T is not hair" said the man.
"What is it, then?,'
"A mixture of marsh grass, moss,
and cocoanut fiber. Good imitation,
though, isn't it? You see, hair is a
first-class article for stuffing mattresses,
cushions, ETC., but it is expensive. 1t
is clipped from the tails and names of
horses, dead and alive, from the tails of
cattle, from the bellies of hogs and
from the human head. 1t is twisted
into ropes to make it kinky, and when
the kink is set it is used to stuff the
cushion. 1t costs lot of money even
when freely mixed with short hair.
Most people prefer a genuine hair
cushion at fifty cents to q genuine
hair cushion at five dollars. So the
manufacturers accommodated them
with this mixture. Sometimes fine
split whalebone is put in the mixture,
and sometimes. but not often, it is di-
luted little with hair. The stuff costs
from twenty to twenty-five dollars a
ton. 1t packs with use, but the cover
of the cheap cushion wears out about
as soon. We can make a new cover
and then use the old filling over again
by whipping it with slender whip to
;liven it up. There is no money in such
stuff for any one who handles it, but
we've got to meet the demand-N Y.

CHAPTER III.

Oh, how beautiful the country Was
when the gray dawn came next morn
ing,-white and still in the dim and
growing light.
So still! But the stillest place was
the one BUah woke up in. He could
not guess where he was at first, but he
lay awhile and remembered.
"Santa Claus house. and they'r all
real good. He's going to give me to
somebody as soon as it's Christmas"
He got up very quickly and looked
around him. 1t was not dark In the
store-room, for there was 8 great
square hole in the middle of the floor.
and glow of dull red light came up
through it which almost made Bi1ah
feel afraid.
There was his little gray suit of
clothes, cap and all, close by his bed on
the floor, and he put them on faster
than he ever had done it before.
where's my other stocking?
He searched and searched, but it was
of no use, and he said, II can't run
away in the snow with bare foot"
He had been getting drawer and brav-
er. now he was wide awake, and he
crawled forward and looked down the
Scuttle-hole. He knew that room IN .
minute, but he had to look twice be-
fore he knew the tree.
Ever so many stockings! And
they're all full. Look at those sleds!
Oh my!"
Whichever way he looked he saw
something wonderful, and he began to
get excited.
Il can climb down. IT'S just ike 60
ing downstairs"
1t was Just about as safe and easy,
with all those branches under him, and
all he had to do was to sit on one. and
get ready to sit on the next one below
him. He got about half way down, and
there was the grain bag, with it,
| mouth wide open. Just beyond 1t on
the same bough, but further out. there
hung a very small stocking indeed.
That's miner' exclaimed Bijah.
its cram full, too. They've borrow
ed it, after all theirs were full Iwant
it to put on now, but l can't reach il
out there"
Just then he began to hear noises up
stairs, and other noises in the rooms be-
low-shouts and stamping, and people
calling to one another-and he could
not make out what they were saying.
"Oh, dear! they're coming. Santa
Claus is coming What IL l do?"
Bijah was scared; but there was the
wide mouth of Grandfather Vrooman's
grain-bag stocking" and almost BE-
fore Bijah knew what he was doing he
had slipped in.
Poor Bijah! The moment he was In
he discovered that he could not climb
out. He tried hard, but there was
nothing on the sides of the bag for his
feet to climb on. Next moment, too,
he wanted to crouch down as low as hs
could, for all the noise seemed to bs
coming nearer.
So it was, indeed, and at the head Of
it were grandfather and grandmother
and the other grown-up people, trying
to keep back the boys and girls until
they should all be gathered.
where's Bijah?" asked grandfather.
after he had counted twice around, and
was sure about the rest.
"Bijahr' exclaimed Liph. why, I
looked in the store-room; he isn't
there"
Hope the little chap didn't get
scared and run away" n
"Dear me-through the snow"
claimed grandmother. - 8.
