The "Lofe1y Maid"

The German who was driven from the
Quisiana hotel by the coarse table man
ners of the British and their habit of put
ting their knives in their mouths, during
one of his first strolls in Capri saw
beautiful girl in the old costume Of the
island bending over the edge of a
frightful precipice. HurriedIy. advanc-
ing, the kind man, in his best Ger
man Italian, besought her to leave
the dangerous spot. But the girl
would not stir, only sadly shook her head.
''Lofely maidl' cried the German, 'why
do you despair. Are there no men more
in the world that you, so charming, so
handsome, should weary of life? For yesl
know your purpose; you seek to dier'
Trembling with emotion, the girl turned
her head aside. Come urged the Ger
man, ''don't, pray don't do it." At
this the girl turned her streaming eyes
full upon him, and, starting up suddenly,
answered: ''The signore is right; / will
not do it, The German went away re-
joicing; he had saved the poor creatures
life. But the next day, CHANGING to pass
the spot, he was thunderstruck by again
finding the same girl in the same attitude.
He was about to seize her ann, when q
loud voice behind him said: "Please, sir,

Fate Of an Indian Doctor.

The Hot Greek Indians have sum-
mary way of treating their physicians
when they fail to cure their patients. The
relatives of the deceased are justified in
killing him. A case of the kind occurred
recently. Miss Madge related how the
woman that washed for them lost her hus-
band. and before he died he told his wife
that he could not rest in peace unless she
killed the doctor, an old squaw who had
practiced among them many years. The
sconsiderate wife left his bedside just at
dawn, and, stealing into the wigwam Of
the doomed woman, dropped a slip moose
round her neck and jerked it quickly
tight, so that it was impossible for her
victim to utter sound louder than hor-
rible gurgle.
The wife afterward described the whole
ghastly circumstance with a fidelity that
proved her keen enjoyment of the agony
of the wretched squaw She explained in
vivid pantomime just how she continued
to tighten the moose by a peculiar twitch-
ing motion, whae she dragged the writh-
ing creature round and round the room.
When she had at last ceased to struggle,
the wife returned to her appeased lord,
who breafhed his last with q tranquiliz-
ing sense that he had brought about a
noble yindicatio1 of his death. h.-Ninetta

A story of Pugilist sullivan.

A friend tells me good story of John
IL. Sullivan. Some years ago, when the
redoubtable Boston boy was making q
tour of the country and making his pro
gress with victims of his massive muscles,
my friend happened to travel some dis
tance on the same train with him. When
they stopped for supper Sullivan became
an object of interest TO the swarm of peo-
pie at the station, and after supper, when
he went out on the platform and sat
down to read sporting paper which he
had bought, mob gathered in a semicir
Gle at a modest distance around him and
stared at him in mute and admiring
wonder. The big man was in good hu-
NOR and smiled as he looked at the pic
lures in his paper. An old farmer finally
broke through the line and approached
him and said:
"Mr. Sullivan, will you do me fa-
vor ?"
why not, daddy p replied the cham
pion, amiably. What is it?"
Let me- said the ancient aroricul
turist, feel that there fist of yours"
Sullivan, with one of his superb, pow.
erful gestures, put out his arm, with a
clinched fist at the end Of il that would
have filled hat box. The old farmer
felt it all over. The arm held firm, like a
bar of iron, and its owner grinned, while
the crowd began to snicker
'Ah," said the farmer at last. eff
you was to hit a man with that, Mr.. Sulli-
van, guess it would hurt him
''Thats what they say do, daddy"
responded the giant, resuming his perusal
of his paper.-New York News.

The HON. RINeeoNg eNINs
Begins o Lecture Before tho LimekIIn
Club.

u
Club.
When the meeting opened Brother
Gardner announced that the Hon. Ring
bone Bivins, of Kankakee, had arrived in
Detroit for the purpose of lecturing before
the Lmekiln club. The subject of his
lecture was: ''Has de World Advanced
Fur 'Nuffg" He had been before the COM
mittee on inquiry, and had answered all
questions, and he would now be brought
in and given every opportunity to acquit
himself with honor. 1t was subject of
deep interest to every member of the club,
and it was hoped that each and every one
would pay the closest attention to the
strangers remarks.
The committee on reception and abduc-
tion escorted the Hon. Biyins into the hall
amidst profound silence. He was a stately
looking man of middle age, having cast
in one eye and some trouble in one of his
knees. He bowed right and left with the
grace and suavity of an emperor, and
upon ascending the platform gently OBJ
served:
"My frens, / do not come befo' you as

Brother Jones had already slipped out
and with this purpose in view. He was
gone ten minutes. When he returned his
necktie was gone and his coat torn down
the back. The Hon. Ringbone had evi-

San Jose California; Tines
Miss Petra Arsbelle, twenty ode years
Of age, has been residing with her parents
at Santa Barbara until few weeks ago,
when, having been seriously ill for some
time previously, she came here
to visit m aunt, and on consult
ing physicians found that she had
andermoid cystic abscess, with view OF
the removal OF which she was taken to
the inflrmary, being yet 30 weak that su =
cess WAS considered doubtful. To re-
moYe any rick of blood-poisoning, every
thing connected with her room
was washed in carbolized solution.
At eleven O'Clock on Friday she
WAS placed under the influence of
an8 sthetlcs, and for two hours four ply
sicisns we're engaged on the work. On
its conclusion the cyst WAS found to be
as large IS the average size Of an adults
head and full Of pas. A cyst is ordinari-
ly pendent, but this one adhered to the
walls Of the abdomen, contained three
quarts of pus, piece Of true
skin nearly two inches ACROSS. on which
hair WAS growing, we'll formed eye

and thick bunch Of hair twelve inches
long and attached to piece of scalp.
The cause Of such misfortune is not IN
