Among the stories told of the late
DR.. Kemper, of Nashota, Wis, is
this: One day he asked divinity
student home to dine with him, adj
ding that there might not be much
to eat. When they were seated at
the table the doctor at once began to
carve at boiled ham that showed
evidence of having seen considerable
service. "Why, my DEAR" exclaimed
his wife, "you have forgotten some
thing. You have not asked the bless
ing" "Yes, l have, too" bluff1y
responded the doctor; "I've asked
the Lord to bless this old ham all
I'm going to-"

The Band of Hope and Good Tenn
plars of Deer Park had a very inter-
esting meeting on the 18th inst. The
Deer Park Lodge, with visitors from
the Oakland Lodge of Good Tenn
plars, were present in full regalia and
presented a very attractive appear
ance. The Band of Hope opened the
meeting by very briefly re-electing
their corps of officers for the ensuing
quarter and then gave place to the
Good Templars. Mr.. III. HI. Van
Meter addressed them in his usual
happy strain, and proposed making

preciative and attentive.
On Thursday evening last quite a
large company of Deer Parkers as
sembled At the house of the recently
arrived pastor of the M. E. church,
all laden with friendly tokens of well
come for the newcomers. They were
received most cordially and very
pleasantly entertained by Mr.. Kurtz
and his equally genial wife who have
won the good will of the people in
the outset. May their stay here be a
pleasant and profitable one.

Tho Darkey and His Uranium.

1t is fun to see the darkies when a sum
mer rain up. They will plow.on
until the shower comes and then mount
and lope home and get wet all over, and
by that time the rain is over and they have
to go back again. The darkey takes more
care of his head than his feet. He don't
want his head to get wet or cold. He
sleeps with his head to the fire n covers
it up good and let's his feet stick out any
way. He will warm his hands before he
will his toes. There is one thing that O
darkey can do better than a white man.
He can beat us making fires on a cold,
wintry morning. Sometimes when the
wood was wet and the kindling poor. /
have despaired of making 1t burn, but a
darkey never fails. The fire seems to
recognize him and I have thought that
maybe it drew some colored caloric from
his carcass.-BM Arp in Atlanta Consti-

Six Bottles of Best Champagne.

At Dussaux,s restaurant, in the Grand
Morskoi at ST. Petersburg, six officers OF
the imperial horse guards sat drinking
champagne. Not far from them sat an
insignificant little man with a shabby coat
and an nnkempt beard, and a glass of
liquor in front of him. It was not long be-
fore he became aware hat he was being
ridiculed by the officers aforesaid. BY and
by, as they became more and more often
sive in their remarks on his personal an
pearance, etc, he called for the waiter, and
said: Bring me six bottles Of your best
champagne" The waiter hesitated. 9Did
You not near what / saidP' asked the little
man. The waiter brought the wine and
six glasses. "Take these glasses away and
fetch a basin-one as large as you can find.a
The waiter again hesitated, but obeyed in
stantly at the peremptory repetition of the
order. "a piece of soap" was the next or
der. 1t was brought. "A towel.n The
waiter handed him one. "Now open the
bottles" The waiter did SO. The little
man now filled the basin with the contents
of the six bottles, rolled up his sleeves,
washed himself in the costly fluid, wiped
his hands, laid a 100-rouble note on the
table, and, casting q look of whitening con-
tempt on the officers, strutted out Of the
Francisco Argonaut.

The Jaguar Pulls Through safe1v.

Fanny, the jaguar at the Philadelphia
azoo," has just come through a serious
crisis in her existence. She is 2 years old,
and lately began cutting her second set Of
molar teeth. This is always a p~articu-
larly dangerous period with animals in
captivity, few passing through it safely,
as death is caused byinfiammation setting
in. Fanny was carefully watched and
tended by the keepers, and put on a diet Of
squads, mutton and milk. She pulled
through safely, but now another trouble
has arisen. Her luxurious diet has made
her %fastidious, and she turns up her nose
in scorn at her former food of horse meat,
and howls for chicken.-Chicago Times.

The Cowmen Pushing into mexico.

1t will be a surprise to most people to
learn that American capital invested in
the cattle industry has already pushed its
way across the Rio Grande, and is seeking
investment in the northern states of Mex
leo. The advantages of this region over
even the southern portion of Texas are OBJ
vious, in the superior winter pasturage
and milder climate, and great ranches
have been recently purchased by New
Workers, who count with reasonable assur-
ance upon securing large returns. The
Mexican Financier considers the move
ment SO important that itregards the cat
tie interest as destined soon to equalif not
surpass in Importance the mining interest
i n the northern states of the republic, and
it demands a repeal of the old law which
prohibits the holding of real estate by for
eigners within twenty leagues of the from
tier, together with other encoufagements
to the coming of outside capital.-New

where society Is Badly mixed Up

The show of horsemen and horsewomen
of the Casino, a restaurant maintained by
the park commissioners, is worth going to
see on a pleasant morning or afternoon,
the former time being the more favorable,
because the f~ashionably correct hour for a
gallop is Just after breakfast. But an *
perienced explainer is requisite for q COM
plete understanding of che assemblages.
The sightliest girl may be either a Fifth
avenue belle or a social outcast, for all that
a stranger can know from appearances;
the ~solid-looking man is possibly the bank
president that he looks, or just as likely
the banker of a faro games; and the inten.
sifed dandy gives no conclusive evidence
whether he is scion of wealth, to whom
the expenditure Of time and money is OF
no consequence, or a chap who nervously
watches the lapse Of the hour, like a child
cautiously licking instead of biting an unu-
sual stick of candy, in order to enjoy it to
the utmost before reaching the end. No
sport has more various deyotees.
The indiscriminate character of these
road gatherings III the casual throwing
together of good and bad people in the res.
taurants where equestrians habitually
stop for rest of legs and refreshment of
palate are not infrequently turned to ac-
count by thieves. Only q few days ago a
spruce fellow rode up to the front of a
house in which twenty or thirty persons
were eating and drinking. Perhaps half
were equestrians, like himself, in costumes
that had nothing to throw off while in
doors, but the rest included women who
had laid aside their wraps. Selecting q
$500 fur garment that lay on a chair be-
hind the owner, and close toa door, he
boldly threw it over his arm, sauntered
out on the rear veranda, and tossedi it down
to g pal who was IN waiting. These
scoundrels or others had practiced the
same trick before, however, and the wait
ers had been told to watch for q repetition
of the feat; and SO the very presentable
horseman. known to the police as "Jim
jerk" was arrested o. the spot. He had
for months been an habitual rider in Cen
trail park, a cash customer of q neighboring
stable, and a liberal boarder at a tirst-rate
hotel, all on the proceeds of robberies like
the one at which he wat caught. His
domicile is now the Tombs.-New York

Cost of a M~illionaire's ~Dinipg-Room.
GLOW much does it cost to furnish a din
ing-room for the mansion of a~millionaire?n

"Well, that depends entirely on what he
is willing to pay. Chairs, for instance,
range in price from SIS to $50 apiece-tIiat
is, tie chairs for che side of the table. The
Grm-chairs that are placed at either end
cost from $50 each up to 500. Tables run
from $50 each 10 $3.50, according to the
wood that is used. All tables are, of
course, of the extension pattern. We do
not sell any that can not be extended to

oak feet and back. 1t is covered with en-.
bossed leather, decorated by hand. Such
a chair will last 100 years. tits worth $50.
The arm-chairs to. match are worth 800
each. Put six or eight chairs on a side
and add a table, and the set would cost in
round figures $1,000. That does not in
clude a sideboard and a side-table. Of
course there are cheaper sets" remarked
the dealer with q beautiful smile. 'Food,
