A FRENCH STORY.
The Almost Incredible Devotion of a Mod.
ern Partisan Husband.

Not long ago the husband of lovely
little woman in Paris] whom he had
but few weeks before led to the altar,
saw her safe into carriage in which
she was setting out to make some calls.
She was the very light of his eyes, and
they had spent few hours apart since
their wedding day. Imagine his state
of mind when late in the afternoon she
was brought home senseless and almost
unacceptable. But must go back a
little. The horse that drew the car
riage slipped in rounding corner, the
vehicle turned over and the face of its
occupant was terribly mutilated with
broken glass from the windows. When
the crowd which soon surrounded the
carriage extricated the poor little pris-
oner, she was taken insensible into the
shop of the nearest chemist to have her
injuries examined. The cuts aud
scratches were dreadful, but the worst
was cash from mouth to ear from
which a long piece of torn flesh hung.
The poor chemist seemed to have lost
his head at the sight, for instead of
sewing the piece in place again, he cut

manned unconscious, he washed his
hands of her as quickly as possible, and
saw herdriven in cab to be taken home.
The doctor, who is called in breath
less haste, exclaims at the butchery
of the chemists surg cry, and says there
is nothing to be done but to take a
piece out of the arm of the poor victim
to supply the place of that which the
chemist had so stupidity cut off. But
the half-frantic husband will not hear of
it, and taking off his coat and barring
his own arm, offers it to the doctor and
bids him cut from that, and not touch
her with his knife. But" saws the
doctor, lone mutilated person is enough
in family, my dear fellow. Beside
the pain would be horrible" However,
the heroic young husband stuck to his
point, and, it is said, went through the
operation with smile on his lips, re-
marking that they had vowed to have
all things in common, pains as well as
joys. The doctor did his work deity,
the traces of the needle are already
faint, and he says that when the heal
ing process is complete there will
scarcely be a visible trace of the terri

LOVES YOUNG DREAM,
rhe First Love Episode in the Life or
George Washington.

rhe First Love Episode in the Life or
George Washington.
George Washington was tail. large
!imbed. shy boy of about fifteen when
ne fell in love with girl whom he
seems 10 have met when living with his
brother Augustine. He calls her, in one
OF his letters afterward, a ''lowland
beauty" and tradition makes her to
have been Miss Grimes, who later
married, and was the mother of one of
the young soldiers who served under
Washington in the war of independence.
Whatever may have been the exact rea-
son that his love affair did not prosper
whether he was too shy to make his
mind known, or so silent as not to show
himself to advantage, or SO discreet
with grave demeanor as to hold him
self too long in reserve, it is impossible
now TO say; but suspect that one effect
was to make him work the harder.
Sensible people do not expect boys of
fifteen to be playing the lover; and
George Washington was old for his
years, and not likely to appear like a
spooney. Horace E. Scudder, in 81.

THE TosoeoAN.
Graphic and Veracious Description of the
Great Canadian Sport.

Great Canadian Sport.
The toboggan is sled with single
runner. which spreads clear across the
bottom of the sled. The top of the to-
boggan is just like the bottom. 1t is
somewhat thicker than a sheet of writing
paper and about as long as An after
dinner speech. Its seating capacity is
limited only by the number of people
who can get on it. The urbane and
gentlemanly conductor sits aft and uses
one of his 1.-THE and willowy legs for a
steering apparatus. by which he guides
the toboggan some way or rudder. 1t
is easy to slide down hin on a toboggan.
In fact, after you start down you can I
do any thing else. True. you could fall
of. That is easily done The flying
machine is not high, so you haven very
far to fall. Still, if you have to fall from
a toboggan half way down the slide, or
else fall down stairs with a kitchen
stove, you take the stove and the stairs
every time. 1t isn't so exciting and it
isn't so soon. The prince and walked
up the stairway for the purpose of
sliding down the banister on tobog-
gan. The president of the club
took his place aft, somebody said,
'let her 60" Then we stopped and
the president said, "How did we like
it?" | left my breath at the top of the
slide and we had to go up and get it.
There it was, great gasp three and
half inches long, sticking in the air
like an icicle, just where / had gasped
it when we started. | took ii down,
stuck it into my left lung and began to
breathe again with great freedom.
The toboggan is to any other way of
getting down hill what flying is to going
to sleep. If was in hurry and It was
down hill all the way would rather
have toboggan than a pair of wings,
any day.
p. S.-There is usually an angel on
the toboggan with you, which has
tendency to confirm the impression that
you are going down with wings.
N. B.-A young Canadian of broad
experience assures me that Toronto
angels really and truly have wings, in
somuch that often he has to drive with
one hand, using his other arm to hold
the angel from flying away.
Addenda-I have known the same
thing to happen in this United States

MISPLACED FRIENDSHIP.
How an Honest Countryman Was Deceived
by Flashy Hotel Clerk.

How an Honest Countryman Was Deceived
by Flashy Hotel Clerk.
There is one type of Arkansawyer
who forms sudden and strong attach
ments, and who sometimes, after meet
ing a man once, afterward refers to
him as his friend. Nelson Boyle, of
Polk County, is man of this type.
Several days ago he came to Little
Rock, having been summoned as a wit
ness before the United States Court.
He had never attempted to live high,
and, as he expressed it, decided to go
to hotel and live like pet fox. He
soon took fancy to clerk. Why he
took this fancy would be hard to say.
On one or two occasions during the
three days visit of Mr.. Boyle, the clerk
leaned over from his lofty pedestal of
dignity and spoke to him. This as
sured Mr.. Boyle that his friendship for
the clerk was returned. When his
business with the court was settled,
Mr.. Boyle went down to bid the clerk
goodbye. He thought of something
appropriate to say and employed his
entire stock of warm words in framing
form of invitation, which he knew
would induce the clerk to visit him in
the close future.
"Wall, Colonel" said Mr.. Boyle, as
he laid one hand on the register, II
must leave you. l am sorry"
'FRONT.'" shouted the clerk.
II am sorry to break a"
"Front"
81 have enjoyed myself very much in
your society, and now l want you to
promise me-"
"Front!'
'FRONT.'"
Summer you will come out an
spend"
'FRONT.'" yelled the clerk, as he
glowered on the supplemented coun-
tryman.
Mr.. Boyle waited moment and con-
tinued:
You won't find much style at my
house, but"
"Frontr'
Look here, I want to know what
you meanp"
'FRONT.'
The countryman hoped over the
counter, seized the clerk by the collar
with one hand, boxed his ears with the
other and yelled "Front" Then he
jammed him into corner and ex-
claimed "Frontr' He pulled him out
of the corner, shook him and vocifer-
ated "FrOn.r Still he was not satisfied
He seized the clerks plug hat, showed
his foot through the crown and, in a
confidential and cordial manner, re-
marked: "Front!r
"Now, old Front" said he, as he
gave the clerks nose parting twist,
81 am about done. Whenever you feel
like you want to go into the front bust
ness again, send for me. "-Arkansaa0

LOST RIVERS.
The Tributaries Of Stream That Does No


The Tributaries Of a Stream That Does Not
Exist.
There Is one remarkable case in New
Mexico where the lost tributaries are
plentiful but the main stream does not
exist. This is in valley which lies
between the Rio Grande and Pecos
Rivers. The valley begins near the
Sandia Mountains, and shut out from
the streams on each side by broken
mountain chains. 1t is a well-defined
valley, not very broad, but having .
length perhaps of three hundred miles.
Flowing into it. especially on the west
ern side near the upper end, and on
the eastern side toward the lower, are
numerous lost tributaries; but the pri-
mary stream has so completely disap-
peared that its bed can only be found
at intervals.
In the valley lie the ruins of the Gran
Quivira, the existence of which is not
only attested by the ruins themselves
but also by the accounts of the earliest
Spanish settlers. The records of the
Spanish up to the latter part of the sew
enteenth century, when they were ex-
PEELED by the Indians, are incomplete,
as the Indians destroyed all that was
left behind. That the Gran Quivira
was we'll known to them, however, is
shown by the fact that the most promi-
nent ruin there is that of a church.
There is now no water for many miles
from the ruins. That there must have
been once can well be granted, for no
large city would have been built by
human beings at distance of fifteen
or twenty miles from a scanty water
supply. The valley may be named
from this city, and would then be the
Gran Quivira Valley. About half way
down the valley it is broken by long,
narrow, thin layer of lava, now much
broken up, and making desolate re-
gion, locally known as the Mal-pais,
or ''bad land" The crater from
which the lava was derived was near
the northern end or the Mal-pais. Just
above the Mal-pais an old river-bed is
reached at the depth of about two hum
dred feet; below it the river-bed, when
found, is at slight depth. Southwest
of the Apache Reservation the old river
bed runs into a large salt marsh. A
stream OF no mean size seems to have
once run down this valley. Not only
has it now disappeared, but its bed is
covered by lava and loose soil some
times to great depths. AS to the cause
of the disappearance, it may have some
connection with tradition of the In
dians, which tells of year of fire,
when this valley was so filled with
flame and poisonous gases as TO be
made uninhabitable. When this &C.
Cured the chronology of the Indians is
not perfect enough to tell US. That it
was long ago is attested by the depth
to which the old bed is covered by a
detritus, probably washed down from
the mountains, and by trees of consid-
cradle size which are found in some
places in it. But that it was not so ex-
tremely long ago that it had become
entirely uninhabitable is made proba-
BILE by the comparatively late desertion
of the Gran Quivira. 1t is entirely
possible that the Indian year of fire may
have long preceded the drying up OF
the part of the valley in which Gran
Quivira was situated. Popular Science
