Tho Female Book Agent.

The latest dodge OF the female book
agent Is to get room in fashionable
boarding house, pay two weeks rent In
advance, move in her stock Of books and
sell them to the boarders without letting
them know who she is. When asked for
references she brings out a letter from the
publisher for whom she works or his
local agent A New York boarding house
keeper tells how she discovered an agent
IN beautiful widow who was stopping
with her: ION Sunday the widow came
INTO the parlor with her arms full of illus
trated books Of history and portfolios Of
.ngravings. She had thought some OF
as might like to look over her collection
abe said, and of course we did not object,
although / commenced to think my new
lodger was taking great deal Of pains to
please the comparative strangers. looked
over some of them myself and listened to
her explain that they We're from cOllec-
tion of dear friend, who had asked her
to take them to n second hand store the
next day and sell them.
GAN Of a sudden 1t struck me as quite
peculiar that every one of those books was
new, and had been published recently.
Moreover, they were all published by one
man, and that one man was the gentle
man who had sent me such n warm COM
mendation of my new boarder. shut up
the book was looking at and began to
think and listen and watch. The widow
by this time was surrounded by dozen
Of my gentlemen boardsrs and three or
four ladies, and was discoursing on the
merits of the books. In ten minutes she
had sold book tO every young man there;
simply charmed the money out Of them
by the power Of her beauty. She was 30
glad she said, TO think that her dear
friend would realize at least a portion of
what the books were worth. h."-Chicago

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Ex-
PECTED.


DRUNKEN INDIAN srABs ANOTHER IN SEVEN
PLACES.
Yesterday morning word was brought to
Chief OF Police Warren that there had been
drunken row in the Indian camp across
Hangmsn creek in which brave who Is
known AZ John Williams had been very
badly hurt. Warren at once visited the
camp and found that the story was true.
The injured Indian presented q ghastly
appearance, being stabbed in seven places,
one Of the wounds Is on the right side of
the throat, close by the jugular vein, at
which the knife was probably aimed. Anoth
er cut is IN front OF thsright shoulder, and
another In the side, the remaining four
being distributed over the body. All the
wounds appear to have been made by
thrusts from q knife. The Indian is very
low and little hopes OF his recovery are
entertained. His comrades are dressing
the wounds in their own primitive way by
the application of certain leaves which they
consider possessed Of healing properties.
He Is very reticent and seems TO have no
wounds were inflicted. His COM
panions, however, state that he and joan
Andy, another Indian, we'll known about
the streets, procured demijobn of fire
water, and proceeded to get very drunk to-
gether, going to point short distance
from the camp, where Williams was after
ward found wounded as described above.
John Andy was nowhere to be found,
and has not since been seen. visit to the
camp in the afternoon developed nothing
new, except that the wounded man is
steadily failing. The crime is a horrible
one and the man who sold the liquor to the
Indians can have the pleasure of feeling
that he Is responsible.
