A Little Previous.

A couple from across the border

lady was plainly but neatly dressed
and was handsome brunette. The
young man stepped up TO the clerk af-

The Roman Elnperors at Capri.

Augustus Caesar built villa at
Capri, to which he occasionally retired
when weary of the cares of the empire.
But the name of all others which is
most Intimately connected with Capri
is that of the Infamous Tiberius. SO
deep an impresshas the tyrant leftupon
The island that after the lapse of
eighteen centuries his name is still
familiar to the inhabitants, who even
call their children after him. The
word, however, is usually corrupted in
to Timberio. Tiberius built twelve
palaces on various parts eff the island.
These he named after the twelve par
ticular divinities whose favor he most
desired. Suetonius gives us won
derful account of the splendOrs of these
edifces, their marble walls and columns,
and the feasts and orgies that they saw.
Mangoni has given the larger part of
volume to the scenes enacted upon
the island during the tyrant's long
soiourn; but many Of the chapters are
filled with stories either too disgusting
or too terrible to read.
After the death of Tiberius the Sen
ate ordered his palaces to be DESTROYED,
and this accounts for the ruined con-
dition of edifces that might have ex-
celled in stability and grandeur any of
the ancient palaces which still stand
upon the neighbOring mainland. OF
each Of the villas, as they are called,
traces still remain; but the ruins which
are most worthy of q visit are those of
the great Villa of Jove, located on the
eastern extremity of the island, and on
height which commands view of the
mainland, of the island itself and of
the beautiful bay for miles about. Of
the extensive edifice wherein Tiberius
held his famous orgies, and where he
held the tribunals which nearly always
ended in the condemnation of his vic
tins, little remains now save a num-
Der of vaulted chambers, the use of
which can only be guessed at. Some
of them have been converted into cow
stables, and patient kline find them
selves sheltered in halls where an
emperor once dwelt. On the highest
point of the mountain is little chapel
called Santa Maria del Soccorso, and
here an old hermit invites the visitor to
inscribe his name upon the register,
while a printed sign in French, English,
and German requests him to leave a
small sum for the benefit of this guard
ian Of the height. From the chapel it
is but moments walk to whatis called
the Salto of 1iberius. This is point
near an ancient beacon-Iight, where
according to tradition, the tyrant had
the victims who had been condemned to
death thrown down upon the rocks be
low, whence their mangled bodies were
dragged into the sea by soldiers armed
with iron picks. 1t was this beacon
light that gave the augury of the death
of Tiberius. During his illness a por-
ton of the tower fell, and seers fore
told the death of the Emperor of Rome

Paying For the Colt.

About seventeen years ago a farmer
named Gleason, living northeast of In
dependence, one morning found one of
his colts dead, and there was certain
evidence that it had been killed by
some one. The young man supposed
to have killed the colt left the country
about that time, and very little was
heard from him until last fall, when it
was learned that he had been converted
and had Joined the church. A short
time ago the young man returned to
Buchanan county for visit. While
there he went to Mr.. Gleason's farm,
and, meeting that person, said:
Il believe you lost colt several
years ago. L did, was the reply"
How much was it worth?" was the
next question. about $50" ''Will
this pay forit?n said thevisitor, handing
out 500. Yes, and more too," said
Mr.. Gleason, handing back $50. The
other person took the $50 and departed,
starting for Nebraska that day. This
is the kind of religion that is needed.

Thought They Had Found a Gold
Mine.

Professor McAllister, the prestidigi-
tateur and ventriloquist, happened to
be travelling across lower Idaho some
years ago, on his way from one town
to another, saws the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. It was in the days of early
stage-coaching, before railroads were
quite so plentiful as at the present
time. The professor, one afternoon
before the show commenced, in wan
dering about the streets of, | think it
was Lewiston, encountered on the out
skirts of the town a small band of In
dians. Two or three companiO were
with him. While chatting together,
looking about, and observing things
generally, McAllister became quite IA
miliar with mongrel dog owned by
the redskins, whom he proceeded to
pet nonchalantly.
''Fine dog said the professor.
"Ughr' grunted the buck.
''How much you sell him for?" ask
ed the magician.
ugh! g." replied the buck, hold
ing up apair of dirty fingers to indicate
the amount.
Him very fine dog" said the pro-
fessor, stroking the ours back and TAX
ing a gold-piece from his nose.
Hi, hi!'' exclaimed the redskin,
looking on in astonishment, his eyes
ready to start from his head in excite
ment.
Him very fine dog, indeed" quiet
ly continued the professor, this time
taking whole handful of coin from
the dogs nose, ears and mouth, which
he transferred to his pockets.
Strange noises were heard proceed
ing from the interior of the brute. He
groaned and laughed and howled and
barked, at all of which the poor delud-
ed redskins stood in the utmost awe
and establishment, and couldn't for the
life of them understand what had come
over the spirit of the animal. It was
hard to tell which was the most sur
prised. the Indians or the dog. After
filling his pockets with gold and taking
another fstful from the ours nose, the
professor left the redskins in peace
He had not been gone ten minutes be-
fore the latter pounced upon the poor,
doomed animal and cut him wide open.
Like the goose that laid the golden
egg, there was nothing inside. and it
was oaly fair to presume that the only
reward was fine feast upon ribs of
roast dog, done to a turn.

As Bad as the Tobacco Habit.

The use of chewing gJm has come
to be quite the fashion il, a quiet way,
and is almost as difficult to break away
from as the tobacco habit. Ayoung
literary man of well-known society cir
cles, is the possessor of a much-used
piece of q delectable concoction. He
says he losses it up on the ceiling every
night when he gets into bed, but each
morning finds him pulling it down with
a cane, and he is enslaved for another
day. A pretty young lady artist saun-
tiers in upon her intimate friends with
her mouth working over her favorite
gum, and explains how she formed the
habit.

Negroes Chan ging.

The negro is changing inappearance
and losing some of the birthmarks
peculiar to the African race. The new
generation is showing the effects of a
higher culture. Especially is this
noticeable in the towns where contact
with the whites shows its effect. The
fat-nosed, kinky-headed negro is pass
ing away and becoming an unknown
race. All the colored children, no mat
ter how dusky in hue, show the change.
Among the females long hair Of that
peculiar woolly appearance hangs in
long braids or curls down their backs.
Aquiline noses and smaller mouths
with thinner lips are the rule. For
years, and in fact ever since their free
dom, the negresses have endeavored to
do away with the short and kinky hair
bestowed upon them bytheir ancestors.
Much of their spare change is invested
in various hair tonics and invigorators,
and the long attention and care be-
slowed upon it is shown in their de-
scendants. The South Georgia negro
is an evidence of evolution, the survival
of the fttest. -AtIant0 Constitution.
