listening intently, had about come to
the conclusion that it was a mistake,
when again family in the distance the
shot was repeated. There could be no
mistake now, for the signal was re-
peated at regular intervals of ten
minutes, which led US to the spot,
where we found the poor fellow trudg-
ing along, tired and worn down with
fatigue, but in good spirits and entirely
unframed. His horse had gotten away
from him somehow and left him alone
and afoot on the prairie. He imme-s
diately struck across the country in
direction that must carry him across
the main trail, which he did really dis
cover before the darkness set in. He
had been following it ever since and
firing his revolver as described until
found by us. All the relief parties
came up in an hour or so, having been
attracted to the spot by the signal
shots, which had served to bring us to
the same place. Mounting the orderly
on his horse, brought along especially
for the purpose, we once more turned

reached just as the sun was coming up

CARE OF THE PENNIES

Interesting Figures Showing How tne
Country Receivers from Hard Times.
o., The importance of small sums has
been shown recently by some striking
calculations upon the probable income
of all thu, people in the United States.
Those who have studied the subject
are generally agreed that the entire
earnings of the whole American peo-
pie are not far from ten thousand
million dollars year That is
not a small sum, our readers will
remark. and we admit that the
amount is many times our whole
national debt, and it is ten times as
much as the indemnity which France
paid to Germany after the great war
between them. But let us take the
sum apart, and divide 1t among all the
people.
Our population, men, women and
children, is more than fifty millions.
If the vast sum which represents the
gross income were equally divided. it
would give for each person little less
than two hundred dollars ayear. As
there are three hundred and sixty-five
days in year, we find as result that
were the whole income divided up
evenly, it would allow to each person
less than fifty-five cents day.
Small as this amount seems, it Is
more likely to be above than under the
true figure. For while nobody puts
the income at more than ten thousand
/ millions. there are some ststisticisns
who put it IS low as seven thousand
five hundred millions. and that would

TWO NEAT REPLIES.
how Andrew Jackson Silenced an Exceed.
ingly Boastful Individual.

how Andrew Jackson Silenced an Exceed.
ingly Boastful Individual.
Andrew jackson, it is related, was at
one time entertained at dinner by gen.
tleman, and among those present was
one of those people who often find their
way into story books, ETC., as the type
of that offensive class of Americans who
are always trailing their nationality in
the dust in the effort to exhalt their in
dividhal independence. This particular
gentleman, over the wine and walnuts
after dinner, in order to emphasize his
own independence of disposition, Of
which he was loudly boastful, remarked
with rare exhibition of self-compla-
cence to General Jackson:
81 always vote against you, sir ~
The company was naturally rendered
speechless by this unexpected disclosure,
and the scene actually looked squally;
but General Jackson put a stopper on
the boastful individual and avoided fur
Their trouble by smilingly remarking:
Sand /, sir, have always fought the
battles of my country that you might
enjoy that privilege.
Another instance of a happy response
is that of the old Southern judge-but
whether a Judge in courtesy or in fact,
the writer can not state-who must
have had the faculty of quick and APP
propriate reply pretty well developed,
if the story related of him is true. He
had been fierce Secessionist, and the
fact was not forgotten when, after the
war, he re-entered the polit ical arena OF
his native State. Speaking at a certain
place one even ng in the interest of his
own candidacy for Congress some one
in the audience, who evidently had 8
good memory, inquired: ~
Didn't you speak here just before
the WARP"
II did, promptly responded thu
judge. uAntH ~
| ''And didn't you say we could whip
the Yankees with pop-gunsp"
Il did," replied the unabashed judge
"but, confound EN-, they wouldn t tigh
that way!"-Pitsburgh Dispatch.

Novel Smuggling Dodge.

Barbed wire for fences has for some
time been Struggled into Canada from
Detroit, Mich, and the loophole of the
smugglers has just been found out.
They would load wagon with barbed
wire carefully tucked away in barrels,
and drive north beyond the city limits
and down into the river as if to fill the
barrels with water for the neighboring
garden patches, But the barrels We're
quietly sunk out of sight in the river
When night came, two schooners would
sail out from the Canadian shore and
beat down by where the barrels where
sunk. They were then loaded on
board and the boats would then put
back to some neglected spot on the
Dominion shore to unload. Team after
team loaded with the wire in barrels
had been daily driven down to the
shore in this way; and the wire after
wards fished up and taken to the other
shore under the noses of the customs
officers. = Toroato Globe.

THE PECULIAR MAN.
A Public Nuisance which is to be Found
81 Almost Everywhere.

alhnOoe INUEy "hcAt'
The peculiar man is public nuisance
He obtrudes his popularity on all occa-
sions with the same sort of pride that
causes Neapolltan beggar to glory in
the display of some CHASTITY deformity.
The peculiar man glories in his PEI
culiarity; he calls it individuality, and
AYERS very truthfully thatnothing should
make a man sacrifice his individuality.
He quotes: 1.-The leopard can not change
his spots" and SO emphasizes his Pc
culiarities.
The peculiar man invariably has the
most remarkable set of principles. True,
one should have principles, but it re-
mains the province Of peculiarly to
force its principles down the helpless
throat of its neighbor. Our peculiar
man accounts for all his unpleasant
traits by the stock remark: "Oh, you
know | am a peculiar man." And SO
he peculiarly disagreeable.
The leopard's spots are born with him;
the blemishes on the peculiar man are
usually the product OF cultivation, and
exaggerated to form an excuse for bad
temper, obstinacy or some equally UNI
pleasant trait, only permissible with
out reproof, behind the shelter Of
popularity.
What right has any man to claim a
monopoly of traits either good or badP
