Furnishing A BRUTE.
How Piucky Little Fellow Taught Les
son to a Cruel Teamster.

son to "a Cruel TeamSter.
A number of passengers were waiting al
the railway station in Monmouth for
train for Chicago, when their attention
was attracted by an unusual noise in the
street near by. teamster was beating
his horse with one of the heavy stakes from
his draw, and doing it brutally-no. hui
manIy-and without mercy. The bystand-
ers were filed with indignation, and began
looking about for policeman. OF course
none was in sight. The drayman was a
large man, muscular and fierce looking.
Everybody wanted to interfere in the poor
horses behalf, but nobody did. Embold-
ened by the silence of the spectators, and
perhaps glad of an opportunity to thus ex-
hibit his depravity, the burly teamster laid
on the blows with renewed energy. Just
then little man, about four feet ten inches
high and weighing one hundred pounds
or so, stepped out of the depot,
paused in establishment at the spec.
tacle before him, and then, without
moments hesitation, started on
run toward the middle of the street. With
a bound he leaped up against the teamster
much as a terrier leaps at a bull, and,
planting his fist upon the big mans nose
with all of the impetus of his motion and
all of the strength of his small arm, sent
the horse heater rolling into the mud
through which his faithful animal had
been unable to pull the heavy load behind
him. The y-standers expected to see the
little man run and the big man take after
him. But not so. When the big man
picked himself up he found the little man
bv his side, and in belligerent attitude.
Moreover, he called the teamster all tho
appropriate names he could think Of, and
threatened him with much more punish
ment than he could ever hope to inflict il
the offender did not instantly take off a
norton of the load and cease beating his
unhappy steed. Slowly and sullenly the
| big teamster obeyed this command, anf
the little man returned to the station plat
form, where he was met with many con.
gratulations and a unanimous vote Of
| thanks.
| "You must be very brave" said an ole

A SINGULAR VILLAGE.
Peasants Who Live Underground q Coco
Portion of Each Year.


Portion of Each Year.
In the Cevennes mountains, In GEN.
trail France, there is village named
La Beage, the inhabitants of which
practically live underground a great
part of the year. 1t is 1880 feet above
the sea and in the bottom of pass
where the snow is rapidly heaped up
by the winds. As soon as the snow
begins 10 fail in large quantities, SAYS a
recent visitor, the inhabitants retire in
doors, and it is not long before the
low-roofed cottages are buried, the
only means by which air can reach the
interior being down the single CHM
ney, which in all the cottages is built
very wide and substantial. The snow
gradually mounts so high that the door
will not open, and at last the windows
are blocked up. The inhabitants lay
in good supply of bread, cheese and
salt pork for themselves, and of hay
and straw in the clubhouse for their
COW and horse; and, although the men
occasionally go out by way of the
chimney, the women and children live
in the fetid atmosphere all the winter.
They spend their time making cane
chairs aud baskets, doing a little rude
wood carving, and knitting stockings,
while, if the snow does not melt in a
month or so, the people burrow tunnels
his county, his fortune going far up into
from house to house, and so get a
little society. Should a death occur,
the body is roughly coffined and laid
upon the roof until thaw makes the
cemetery accessible. N T. Sun.
