lie Didn's Relish the Blamed Joke.

"I have a good joke to tell you" said
N Arkansas Colonel to his friend the
General. THE other day, you know,
II ggins announced himself as candidate
for Judge. Well, l met him and told
him that you made fun of the idea and
declared that ne didn't have sense
enough TO serve on q Coroner's jurv.
lie is a notorious coward, you know,
but he became %furiously angry. Now
here's where the Joke comes in. The
General, [ said, SIS the biggest coward
IN the world Is that sol? Higgins
.sked. Yes / replied, 'and what you
aant to do is TO meet bin and thrash
iiGl. He won't fight you, and you'll
have al easy victory Everybody that
Is acquainted with you knows that you
are a brave man, General, and when the
joke gets ont Wen have Il good laugh"
Several days afterwards the Colonel
again met the General. Hello, Gen
eraI, what's'the matter with your eyes

'FYour blamed joke. You know Won

An Englishman's First Negro Ac
Quaintance.

/ mention this meal. not only because
it was the first of which l had partaken
for about thirty hours. but because it
was the means of my Decentralization to
a colored gentleman. He did he the
honor to wait upon me, after n fashion,
while I was eating, and with every word,
look and gesture marched ME further
into the country of surprise. He was, in
deed, strikingly unlike the Degrees of
Mrs. Beecher Stowe or the Chris v Min
,trels of my youth. Imagine u gentleman,
certainly somewhat dark. but OF u pleas.
ant warm hue, speaking English with a
sight and rather foreign accent, every
inch a man of the world, and armed with
manners so patrouizingly superior that
| am at a loss to name their parallel i'll
England. A butler, perhaps, rides as
high over the unbutlered, but then he
sets you right with a reserve and q sort
of signing patience, which one is often
moved to admire. And again, the alb
stract butler lever stoops to familiarity.
But the colored gentleman will pass you
q wink at q time he is familiar, like an
upper-form boy to a flag; he unbends to
you like Prince Hal with Poins and
Falstaf.. EIe makes himself athome and
welcome. Indeed, I may say, this waiter
behaved himself to me throughout that
supper much as, with us, a young, free
and not very s~elf-respecting master
might behave to a good-looking chamber
maid. 1 had come prepared to pity the
poor negro, to put him at his case, to
prove in a thousand condescensions that
L was no sharer in the prejudice of race,
but [ assure you / put my patronage
away for another occasion, and had the
grace to be pleased with that result.
Seeing he was a very honest fellow, !
consulted him upon a point Of etiquette:
If one should offer to tip the American
waiter? Certainly not, he told me.
NeTer. It would not do. They consid.
er themselves too highlyt to accept. They
would even resent the offer. As for him
and me, we had enjoyed a very pleasant
conversation; he, in particular, had
found much pleasure in my society; l
was a stranger; this was exactly one OF
those rare c%onjunctures. . g.. Without
very clear seeing, l can still per-
the sun at MONDAY; and the coiored
gentlemen deity pocketed the quarter.

Women as Prospect0rs.

The excitement caused by the discov-
cry of precious metals in the Rocky
Mountains has induced ONE as we'll
as men to brave the fatigues and ex-
posure necessary to develop a new
country. Among the women who have
become ~prospectors and miners can be
chronicled Mrs. Josephine Smith, Of
Summit County. Mrs. Smith with her
husband, became a resident of Kokomo
in IFS days of booming prosperity.
Later, when the town took a backward
turn, and business III the barber shop
became dull, Mrs. Smith resolved tc
try her luck in the hills, and started
out with a PICK and shovel, believing
that she had as much brains and min
ing as any of the multitude who
had tried their fortunes in searching for
the precious metals on the slopes of the
continental divide. She toiled early and
late, clad in miners costume, with boots,
mittens, and waterproofs, and was re-
warded by finding promising prospects
On the Ten Nile Range, Buffalo Noun
tain, and Red Peak. all in Summit
County, north Of the Ten Mile and west
OF the Blue. Next it was necessary to
develop the claims, and while the hus-
band worried in the barber shop the wife
secured the assistance of some practical
miners and some limited capital to de-
velop the claims she had discovered.
In all these efforts the husband and
wife have been successful. They have q
line body of claims near Frisco, about
the center of Summit County, which
they expect to work during the next
year. At present Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
are conducting a barbershop.
This is one Of the most conspicuous
examples of women being engaged in
mining in Colorado, doing the practical
work of prospecting and mining, al
though many women have invested in
mining stock. 1t is an Illustration of
what can be done by energy and deter
mination in a good cause. - encer Repub-

Where She Drew the Line.

A very thin woman had felt the power
OF the spirit and had been converted,

pass the preliminary examination.

"Yes, sir, I believe [ have"

"Wel), then, you must excuse me. I

the world aud the devil, but if 4 III
Il, thin already as / am has to give up

1ou will have to excuse me. I want to

Why Not

Give your employees a va cation. It is
q cheap charity. 1t gives them much
and costs you nothing. A full man can
do more in fifty weeks than a lean mai
can do III fifty-two. GAIL work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" is a motto
as applicable to Jack of forty as at four
Dr. fourteen, and as applicable to Gill as
10 Jack. Every machine needs a vaca-
ton nov and then; the fires let out, the
water let out, the boiler a chance to re.
pair. The organ needs to be tuned. The
watch needs to be cleaned. Even the
iron turnGce cannot run forever. The
agricUiturists have proved that as much
wheat can be gotten off q piece Of land
in twenty years if it lies fallow every
alternate year as if it is coaxed to give
wheat every season. The COW cannot
give milk continuously. Your horse
will do better for taking off his
shoes and running in pasture for a week
or two every twelve months. Lyman
Beecher's recipe is a wise one for all
workshops-"Let later caper."
This advice is just as applicable to
the house servant as to the shop work
man. Bridget will get you q better din
ner ii for one day you get your own.
Picnic for a week and see how jolly it is.
Go back to primitive days and DO your
own serving; it is astonishing how
simple your tastes will become when You
bave to satisfy them yourself. Send off
all your servants for a days rollicking.
and find ont what sort of Il h~ousekeeper
your Oldest daughter is.
Of course, it involves some self-denial.
That is the blessing Of it. When your
servants find that you are willing to put
yourself out for them they will put
themselves out for you. There is only
one currency that can buy enthusiasm
consideration; and enthusiasm is ike
charity, it covers-no! it compensates-
for a multitude of sins.

Circumventing Hotel Thieves.

A device has been introduced in a
Chicago hotel for the purpose of circrm-
venting swindlers. Each guest receives

which the number of the room he is to
occupy IS plainly marked. This he is
obliged to present at the Office whenever

which the name of the bearer is written,
is a pass for the elevator, and it is e.

Pressed to Death.

In early times it was considered that
criminals accused of felony could not be
properly tried unless they consented to
the trial by pleading and putting them
selves on the country. After reading the
Indictment to him the question was put ::
Glow say you-are you guilty or not
guiItyT If he said "Not guilty." the
next question was, "CulprIU, how will
you be tried?" To which the prisoner
hao to answer "Bv God and my u
try" If he wilifdlly omitted either Dor
ton Of that answer he was said to stand
mute, and a jury was sworn to say
whether he stood mute OF malice or
mute by the visitation of God. Ii they
found him mute of malice, that was
equivalent to pleading guilty in cases OF
treason or misdemeanor; but in cases of
felony he was condemned, after much
exhortation, to the peiae forte ct dWe-
that is, to be stretched naked Oh his
back, and to have iron laid upon him,
as much as he could bear, and more.
and so to continue, fed upon bad bread
and stagnant water on alternate days,
till he either pleaded or died. This
strange rule was not abolished until
1772, when standing mute in cases OF
felony was made equivalent to a convic-
ton. A case actually occurred as late as
1926, when one Burnwater, accused at
Kingston Assizes of murder, refused TO
plead. and was pressed for an hour and
three-quorters, with nearly 400 weight
of iron, after which he pleaded not
guilty, and was convicted and hanged.

to death. The object of refusing to
plead was that, as in that case there was
no conviction, no forfeiture took place.
and the property of the accused person
was thus preserved for his heir.
