81 GETS A REST.
The 200ih Ind. Has Day OF and
a Chance to " Wash Up"

"You can take it easy to-day, boys, for we
aint goin' to novel" said the Orderly of Co. @
one morning ut roll-call. "The orders is for to
put the camp in nice shape, and for the men to
wash up. We're goin' to have an extra ration
OF soap this mornin'. and you fellows want to
stir around lively and fix yeTselves as if it was
Sunday and We was goin TO meetin'. The fust
thing after breakfast all hands III turn out
and p'leece the camp"
What in the world does he mean by p'leecin'
the camp?" Corporal Klegg asked Shorty, as
they stood by the fire making coffee and
warming up the fragments of chicken that had
been left over from supper the night before.
didn't spose" said ST, that we listed to be
p'ieecemeni"
Shorty replied that he didn't know, but he
reclzoned they'd find out, soon enough. The
200th Ind. had been on the jump every day
since leaving Louisville, and this was the first
time il had been called on TO police a camp.
As soon as breakfast was over the Orderly
directed each man TO provide himself with 4
small bundle OF sticks, made by putting to-
gether dozen bits Of brush or d" switches three
or four feet long, such as are used by rural
pcdagogs TO enforce discipline. These, he said,
were the implements used in policing camp,
which meant brushing the leaves and loose
debris outside the grounds.
Does Corporils have to Go that sort o
thing?" asked 81. He thought army regula-
tions and camp usage ought to show some con-
sideration for his rank. Whats the use of
bein' a CorpoTil,' he said to himself, if it
don't give ieller chance to play OF once in a
while?"
"Corporals amt no better'n anybody else"
replied the Orderly, m you can jst git some
brush and go 80 work, long with the rest"
81 was disposed 10 grumble little, but he
obeyed orders and was soon scratching up the

b'leve there's any harm in smokin.' Is it hard
TO learn?"
"Wall, dino; I reck' n We can't most always
tell till ye try. Take Whit, and see how she
goes! !" And Shorty handed him his pipe, which
he had just reflled with whittlings OF black
"navy plug"
"Derned if don't try it," said 81 as he
took the pipe and began to puff with great
energy He made few wry faces at first, but
Shorty told him to stick to it, and he bravely
pulled away, while the clouds of smoke curled
above him.
1t was not long till the color left his face, his
head was in whirl, and his stomach began to
manifest eruptive symptoms.

THE WOMAN DRUMMER
The Way She Eiectriiies the B0ys.
lCbfen0n Herald |

Chicago Herald.
"There is new racket on the road" said a
commercial traveller; it's female drummer.
| met her the other day. and she is dandy. OF
course she travels for a Chicago house, and she
sells goods like January thaw. She has been
out so long now that she is as independent as a
hog on ice. She sits in an ordinary railway car
and charges up sleeping berths in her expenses,
just like the rest US She walks to the hotels
from the stations, and charges UP the hack
fares, just as we do She beats the landlord
down to $3.50 a day, and charges the house
$3.50, in the regular old style She can take
care of herself every day in the week, and she
knows how to order up a bottle of wine and
work it in on the expense account too. Why,
when l saw her last she was a new silk dress
ahead of the firm, and by New Years proposed
to have seaskin sacquc out Of her expenses.
And that isn't all-she has half of the hotel
clerks in the Northwest mashed on her, and the
way the little rascal knocks em down on her
bill is a caution. She has regular trick of stay
ing over Sunday where one OF her admirers runs
the house, and she walks off Monday morning
forgetting to pay the bill. What does she sell !?
That's the funniest thing about it. You would
think she would handle jewclry or millinery,
or dry goods, wouldn't you? But she doesn't.
She sells gents furnishing goods, and the fly
young men who usually keep that kind of
stores buy of her as if they hadn't seen a
commercial traveller for six months. And she is
dandy poker player, too. She handles the
cards awkwardly, and acts as if she didn't know
full hand from two pairs, and raises - on
deuces, and nearly cries when t'other fellow
shows up three of kind, and then gots excited
in big jack pot, and raises the opener aud bets
the limit and raises back and scares t'other fellow
out and slides into the deck L little pair of skies
or seyens or bobtail as innocently as you
please. Bluff? Why, she has bluff on her
like the Wisconsin River. She's a daisy, and |
tell you it's mighty lucky for the boys that
there amt any moro like her on the road

A Bankers Trick.

Herr Hager, the wealthy German banker is
the most punctual man in the world, and always
carries couple Of thermometers about with him.
Thanks to this habit he is frequent victim to
pickpOckets, as not week passes without his
losing one of his watches. At first he had re-
course to all kinds of safety chains; then one
fine morning he took no precaution whatever,
and quietly allowed himself TO be robbed. At
night, Oh returning from business, he took up
the evening paper, when he uttered AN eXcla-
nation of delight, and at once started off to the
police station. This is what he had read "To.
day, about 2 p. m, a violent explosion took
place in house in B street, occupied bv
Mr. $. a wealthy tOwnsman. The hands of
the victim are shattered and the left eye gone"
The crafty banker had filled the watchcasc
with dynamite, which exploded during the
operation of winding. Since that time no more
watches have been stolen from the person of
Herr Hager.

A skillTul Young Canvasser.
portland (J'e.) Pres

A good story is told Of little girl, whose
mother il a member OF Bosworth Relief Corps,
which goes to show that even at her tender age
she is smart enough to run fair. The little
miss is only nine years old. She is very pretty
and ladylike. When the Relief Corps decided
to hold 4 fair the ladies, as is customary, asked
the friends to contribute articles to their Vari-
ous tables. Now, our little miss thought she
would do business On her own hook. So she
called on many ladies she knew, interested
them in the fair, and when it was time TO open
the fair this little miss had secured so much
and OF such variety that q cart had to be sent
to collect the contributions
This little miss was very attentive during
the fair. One evening Mayor Deering came
into the hail. The young lady waItzed up TO
him and said-her bright face and spark ling
eyes attracting the attention of listeners
Mayor Deering, l am collecting some money
for the fair; won't you contributor"
The Mayor put his hand in his pocket took
out some money, and, without looking at it,
handed it to the little miss. She thanked him
and went off, but in few moments was back
again and said:
Mayor Decring, / forgot to tell you that we
proposed to print the names of those contrib
uting the money / am collecting, and when you
gave me some money you didn't stop to look
at it, and / thought you ought to know you
gave me seven cents, because | didn't believe
y
Portland gave seven cents to the fair =
A broad smile overspread the Mayors face,
and, drawing his pocket-bOok, he handed the
little miss scrip So bill
Now says our little miss, 81 hear Gov.
R0bie is here, and would like ever SO much to
be introduced. Won't you introduce me?"
Certainly" replied his honor, always gal
lant "come with me-"
So the couple walked up to where the Gov
ernor was. and the Mayor addressing him,
said:
Governor, here is a little girl who is very
anxious to know the Chief Magistrate of the
State"
The Governor turned, shook hands with our
little miss, asked her her name, patted her
head and asked her what he could do for her.
why, Gov. Robie," she replied, al am col
lccting some money for the fair Wont you
contributor"
"Of course ] WILL" replied the Governor !;
What shall give you?"
"Wcll, you see" said our little miss, Mayor
Deering has given me So, and of course the
Governor OF a State would wish to give more
than the Mayor of u city
The Governor was quick to see the Joke and
laughingly drew his wallet and handed our lit
tie miss Il bill to add to the other contributions
for the relief fund.

A Drunken Wife'S Brutality.

Mary Mcdonnell, of Jersey City, has just
been committed for trial fer a series of aggra-
waited assaults upon her husband. 1t appears
that Mcdonnell some two months ago broke
his leg, and short time after the accident his
wife dragged him from the bed and again frac-
tured the bone, which was knitting. For this
ofiense she was imprisoned for 80 days, but i'm
mediately on her release commenced her bru-
talty, beating the helpless man, and again
dragging him from the bed. The last compla int
was made at the instance of the attending doc
tor in order to give his patient a chance to
recover.

FIRE under it. After half an hour OF vigorous
boiling they concluded they were done" +"
Plenty of soap, rubbing and rinsng finished
the work, aud the clothes presented quite
respectable appearance.

as he wrurg out the last of his wash"

Shorty.
s. But what'll we wear while they're dryin'?"
"Nothin', ! reckon!"
So they spread out their garments, and then
dashed again into the water. After splashing
awhile they came ont and drew on their half
dried trousers. Shorty lighted his pipe as they
sat down to wait for the sunshine TO do its per
feet work. All along the stream were soldiers
i'll similar stages of diSaabiIe. 1t seemed like
the Garden cf Eden.
Say, Shorty said 81, "'taint very wicked

leaves and dust with great zeal. He did not
find it a particularly pleasant occupation, but
the camp looked so much better when the job
was done, that he thought it was not a bad
thing after all.
.'Now, shorty" said 81, "let's 60 down to
the creek and do our washin'. Ny clothes has
got TO be billed, and shouldn't wonder if yourn
had, too"
"Yes, that's fact!" said Shortly, sadly.
They got big camp-kettle that had been
used, and would be again, for making beam
soup, and started for tie stream back of the
camp They had no change of clothing with
them. Some days before, in order to Tighten
their knapsacks they had taken out their ex-
