A TIMID Nj AN.

"You ain't goin' to let the circuit rider have that hoss, air you, Jim?" said an old man to his son. Several prankish fellows stood looking at n vicious looking horse that had just been brought out of q stable.
 "Yes," Jim replied, winking at his friends, "an' don't want you to in- terfere. When a preacher comes around here with such an unnecessary show of meekness, wy he deserves a few slams against the ground"
 "Yes, but Jimmie, he's sich a inof- fensive feller"
 "Makes no difference, he's got to ride this horse or none. If you say q word, pap, I'll swear won't help you gether corn next week"
 This declaration sienced the old man. The preacher, meek and with a timid air, came out of the house and inquired of Jim which horse he was to ride.
 "This one," said Jim. "He looks pretty bad, but reckon he'll be all right when you get on him. Come on, fellows, and help me lift him on."
 The men, with many winks and sly chuckles, came forward and with great difficulty succeeded in seating the preacher in the saddle The horse bounded like buck and the men shouted. but the preacher did not fall of, but, after lighting a cigar while the horse was jumping, remarked:
 "Boys, l forgot to tell you that I am the cowboy evangelist. When get through with this old stager give me something lively"
 The Doys seized Jim, took him across the road and compelled him to "set up" the drinks.

 "Yas, mout do that"
 'Doesn't he seem to care enough for herr"
 "Oh, vas, he has putty nigh broke his neck airter her"
 "Why, then, do you object to him?"
 "On account uv his cussed mean ness"
 "In what way is he mean?"
 "W'y, dad blast him, he's the man that driv whisky away from Oak Grovc-tuck around paper an had it signed so the county jedge wouldn't let no mo license bc issued, that's whut he's done. Tuck away rum the citizens nv this here community the right uv goin' out to the grove uv a Saturday evenin' an havin' a little fun, that's what he's done. Robbed the folks nv privilege give to 'em by Washington an ole Andy Jackson an sich men, when, cadfound him, ht knows that Pve got two barrels uy wild-ca that made last fall, intend in to pay of mortgage on my place with it. That's whut he's done, an now, cadiound you, do you reckon want my daughter to marry maI that has worked agin me thatcr way?'
 Well, but instead of throwing stones at the church, why don't you go 10 him"
 "Look here, do you reckon wantei go to man that has done whipped me three times an stove in all my front teeth? Ride on, now, an don't try to give me advice about my fam fly matters" Then, finding a stonC that suited his fancy, he added "Bet a calf put this right down in tho weddin' circle"

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

The startling telegraph cxclnims that Mrs. Langtry k suffering from
 malaria. With the exception of smallpox and ordinary jaw paint, beauty has no greater foe than mala . ria. The soft glow of good health and the creamy tint of excellent digestion are the enjoyable prey of malaria. The average skinned milk of every. day complexion moves not the ambi- ton of malaria, but it has been known to cross many swamps and to lie in wait behind cypress trees, seeking an opportunity to spring out upon the creamy tint. When Mrs. Lang:ry was In Memphis, newspaper reporters discovered that there was a general hurrylng of malaria from the swamps toward the city. Fortunately Mrs. Langtry left the city, carrying the creamy tint away before the malaria could seize upon 1t. That the malaria followed her, there is not doubt. It may have sought many means of reaching her, and perhaps rode on night trains and in empty box cars, stealing danntlcssIy onward with its mind fixed upon the fair lady's adver- tiscd beauty. She was ovcrtaken near Baltimore, the city whose profound slunber is only disturbed by the sharp "whack" incident to the open ing of Il reluctant oyster. Mrs. Lang try attributed her sudden change of feeling to the fatigue of travelling, but when sine glanced at mirror and dis covered that her creamy tint was gone, that her cheeks were overspread with yellOwish cast, she called her manager and announced that all her engagements were "of.' "Who is your companionl" the manager asked, looking about him. T have no coni- panion." "I thought as came down the hall" said the manager, "that 1 heard some one laugh" It was the low, gobbling snort of malaria, crouehed behind trunk.

HAD WORKED AGAINST HIN

A gaunt man, with yellowish beard and hair that looked like hackled flax, stood throwing stones at log meet ing house. He seemed to be aiming his missiles at small window, the only one that lighted the house, and had just thrown, with encouraging directness, fragment of flint, when a man, riding horse, drew rein and de- manded the cause of the bombardment.
 "You jest jog along, now, an let me tend to this, will you?" he replied.
 But why are you throwing at that church?"
 "Go on now, tell you. This here is family erfair."
 "A family affair.""
 "That's whut lowed" attempting to dislodge a stone with the heel of his boot.
 "I must say that it is peculiar family affair that leads a man into such senseless performance as throw ing stones at a church."
 ''I don't kere whut you must say" He swayed his long arm, drew in his hand with jerk, squatted, stamped the ground and exclaimed: "I gad, come in one uv putin her thar that time." He began to poke around in a sort of nodding sumter, looking for another stone.
 Look here, if you don't explain yourself I'll swear out a warrant for your arrest"
 "Go ahead. You'll have mighty up- hill work arrestin' a feller fur 'tendin' to family erfair. Bet dollar I drap one uv lem when they come out" :" he added as he found a stone.
 "When who comes out?"
 My folks-wife, Fuss, the Full gums, Tom Welsh and that haungry- lookin' preacher"
 What are they doing?"
 "W'y, Tom-never seed rocks so scace-Tom he has tuck my daughter Fuss in thar to marry her, and the others have gone in to help, specially that preacher whut Pm goin' to whup the fust time I ketch him out. skeered the old cuss so he wouldn't come over to my house, so he 'suaded lem to come out here"
 "Why do you object to your daugh- ter marrying?"
 "Wouidn't object ef she wuster marry the right sorter man."
 "Im't Tom the right sort of mani"

 Air you certain that it's Potts old dog?"
 ''Ez shore ez live" Do he look like he wants to git at the coon?"
 "Prancin' like CT frost bit rooster, he's so anxious"
 Big coon, you say?" "Biggest ever seed" "Plenty uv licker?'
