A Homemade Pillory.


Sometimes good case is ruined by proving
too much. This was illustrated the other
day in Chicago.
At meeting of ministers the Rev. Mr..
Ayres read long paper, in which he argued
that the coming Christian would not use
tobacco. He made many strong points, and
impressed his audience. Unfortunately he
said in conclusion that even cannibals had
sense enough not to eat tobacconized hesn.
They never devoured smokers and chewers.
When this climax was reached a smile
rippled over the upturned faces of the m u
isters. Finally one of the brethren took the
matter up. He said that he had been in
doubt until he heard the story about the
cannibals If it was mans duty in times
of peace to prepare for war, it was just as
much his duty to guard himself against can
nibals The exigencies of missionary work
or business might at any time require man
to visit Africa or Patagonia. He would run
the risk of falling in with cannibals If the
tobacco habit would save him from being
eaten, it might also save his life. Perhaps
the sayages would not think it worth while
to kill nan who was worthless as an arti.
Gle Of food. As matter of precaution,
the1 efore, he thought it would be wise to
stick to tobacco. -
The nesting broke up in hilarious dis
order. 81 other Ayers walked off by him
SELF The others remained behind to light
their cigars. They were resolved to lose nc
time in heading off the cannibals. Atlantis

Starvation Times in the South.

Even as early as the spring of 1868 the
question of food had come to be a serious
one with the Confederacy, leading The
Richmond Enquirer to say: "The custom
Of three meals day should be abandoned,
two are amply sufficient; it is a habit
this eating three meals day-and, at
present, bad habit. We can accustom
ourselves to two meals, and to two light
meals at that, and it is duty we owe to
the cause. 1t is nearly as bad to grow Tat
rs to get rich while this war is being
waged." Speaking of the high price Of
board, The Richmond Examiner of March
5, in the same year, says: "Not less than
fourteen of the largest clearinghouse in
Richmond have closed their doors the
present week to table boarders on account
of the scarcity and unprecedented high
prices of all the necessaries of life, and
more will follow their example soon. At
the large hotels the prices of board and
lodging per diem is So, and if prices con-
tinue to advance in the same ratio in the
future as they have in the past, boarding
will advance to $40 day."-Americus

Cowboxs who Hata Mormons

Bachelor Cowboys Who Hate MOrmons.
The climate of Montana is not particu-
larly healthy for Mormons, principally,
believe, because the soil contains so many
wideawake bachelor cowboys who are
badly in need of wives themselves. The
royal cowpunchers of Montana hate a
Mormon male as they do snake. Being
unable to get single helpmeet them
selves, although being better able to sup
port dozen where o Mormon can not
support one, it riles them to have some
long haired, rascally elder come along
with four, five and possibly six wives, and
settle down with the utmost gall and
cheek on government claim. There are
about $4,000 more bachelors in Montana
than there are women altogether. Nearly
all of these $1,000 have splendid ranches,
farms or claims of some kind, and need
only wife to complete their cup of hap
piness.
1t is no exaggerated picture am draw
ing, for the vast territory of Montana con-
tains innumerable bachelor homes, and
these bachelors would make the best OF
husbands if given half a chance. The lit
tie town of Maiden, a few miles north
Of here, contains not single unmarried
lady. The small village only ten miles
west Of US is simply community OF bach
elors. These thousand of young men,
middle-aged men and old men all have
comfortable bank accounts, and would
marry on the slightest provocation, SO to
speak. Each one is calculated to make
some woman happy, and would give the
damsel who cared to risk her future with
him all the ready cash she could possibly
spend in this world No wonder our
bachelors hate the Mormon males who
have more than their share of female
blessings.-Miles City Cor. Philadelphia

How a Clown Turned the Tide.

When the Know-Nothing excitement in
this country was at its height in 1850 a
noted English clown was advertised to
perform in circus in Philadelphia. The
rage against all foreigners ran SO high
that q multitude of "true Americans"
gathered under the canvas the first night
to break it up. On his appearance he was
greeted with perfect storm of Kisses,
mingled with a shower of projectiles of a
disagreeable nature. He folded his arms
faced his assailants calmly, and stood
without saying word until the cutlery
was somewhat abated, when he exclaimed
in proud, ringing voice:
u am an Englishnan (then after a
pause), but have boy that was born an
Americana
There was moments silence over this
climax to take in its significance, when
the entire assembly broke out in the most
tumultuous applause. The Englishman
jumped into public favor by one dexterous
leap, and his Philadelphia engagement
proved grand success. - Texas Sift-

Matrimonial Philosophy.

We have had some birthdays recently, for
Mrs. Arp and I are both June bugs. That
is to say, am bug and she is butterfly,
I reckon. l won't call her bug, thong h
she does june around sometimes when things
go wrong She had birthday last week,
and I would tell how old she is if l was sure
she would never be q widow. She thinks
would marry again at the drop of hat, but
declares she wouldn't, and says something
about burned child dreading the fire. But
she doesn't mean that, know, and the hon
est reason is that she is afraid she could
never find another man like me. 1t would
take her long time to train another Teller
and get him up to my standard of uxorial
docility. A young man will train. but one
over 80 won't train worth a cent, and that is
why it is so dangerous for a girl of ambition
to marry an old man or a widower. The
training is on the other side then, and she
had just as we'll surrender to the inevitable.
We had the birthday, and gathered all the
children but one. There were nine of them
here, and some grandchildren and some
friends, and we had good time. l saluted
Mrs. Arp on her cheek soon in the morning.
She always turns her cheek to me now, but
didn't uss to, by no means. We had music,
and played cards, and went a. fishing, and
eat spring chickens and huckleberry pie. and
talked, and the boys said smart things and
told of exploits and escapes, and their
mother and sisters thought they were the
smartest boys in the world. If boy
sneezes his mother thinks it smart Mrs.
Arp thinks her boys are an improvement
on the old man, but my ambition is for girls
to be as smart as their mother. There il no
room for improvement en- that line. Not
long ago I went off and was gone a month.
When 1 came back had a warm welcome,
and everything was calm and serene.
