THE HUNTERS TALE.

'sDid 1 have many curious advent
ures in Africa?" said the loquacious
stranger. "Oh, yes. But perhaps
the funniest Of my experiences was
when. I was treed by zebra in Mbung-
toland. was sitting under tree,
eating my noon luncheon, when fine
looking zebra came running at me like
mad. Quick as fash l climbed up a
tree. The animal jumped for me,
catching his forelegs in the lower
braches. Well, sir, there we were.
He couldn't get away and | couldn't
get down. At last a happy thought
struck me. l just turned about and
decended on his stripes, which made
very good substitutes for rungs, and
then I sat down and quietly finished
my luncheon by the side of my ami
mated ladder" As the stranger finish
ed there came subdued sound, as Of
Ananias turning uneasily in his grave.

TOO MANY FATHERS.

The, tendency of elderly gentlemen,
who should be at home in bed or read
ing their Bibles, to visit the green
rooms of the theatres, is not confined
to New York. A similar state of af
fairs prevails in Paris Ire green
room of a certain Paris theatre was
often crowded with old gentlemen who
acted as escorts. The actresses main.
tanned that their aged attendants were
their fathers. Occasionally more than
one venerable relic attended an ac-
tress until the green room actually be-,
came congested with them. At last
the director put up notice which
read: Hereafter each and every ae-
tress connected with. the theatre will
he allowed to bring into the green
room only one fathepat = time.a

THE GHOST OF GUITEAU.
IT ROAMS AROUND THE WASHINGTON
JAIL.

Guiteau still fingers at the District
Jail. That is what the superstitious
prisoners say, for they claim that they
see him every night, and if you were
to bring any amount of testimony to
contradict them they would still ad-
here to their theory that the assassin
stalks around the corridors every night.
The cell in which he was located when
Sergent Mason shot at him has been
uncccupied ever since. The bunk has
been removed and the apartment is as
bare as it was left by the builders.
The marks of the soldiers bullet are
still plainly to be seen. The missile
entered the window of the cell at a
slight angle and struck the wall op-
posite to that open which the murder
er's bunk was located from which
point it glanced and fattened against
the wall in the rear. Had Guiteau
been standing at the window the bullet
could hardly have missed him.. Gen.
Crocker, the warden of the Jail, saws
he has great trouble in getting
prisoners to remain contented in any
of the cells in which Guiteau was
confined. The assassin, after being
shot at by Sergeant Mason, was con-
fined in a cell in the opposite corridor,
the same being separated by brick
partition, and Notwithstanding the
fact that so many years have elapsed
since it was graced by the wretched oc-
cupant, every prisoners knows which
was Guiteau's cell and begs not to be
confined therein. The ghost of the,
assassin, so the prisoners say, roams
about at all hours of the night, and
the guards are frequently called by
prisoners who fancy they see the ap-
partition Washington Post.

SOME UNGALLANT PROVERBS
ABOUT WOMEN.

A contributor to the Freissinnige
Zeitung has collected from all the
foremost nations of the world heap
of proverbs of men concerning wo-,
men," 1t appears from them that the
Southern peoples, who count them
selves the most chivalrous and gallant
toward the ladies, are more coarse and
insulting in their proverbs than the
colder Northerners. Althobuh the
Germans, the Scandinayians and the
English are not complimentary to the
women in their proverbs, they are
"rarely brutal"
The Frenchman says: ga man who
has a wife has plague" "a man
made of. straw is worth double as
much as woman made of gold"
The Spaniard says: ga woman's ad-
vice is never Of any use, but unless
you follow it she will rail at you as a
fool" "Be on your guard against
bad woman, but do not put your trust
in good woman" "There is only
one bad woman, but every husband
believes that he possesses her."
The Italians say: "If man loses
his wife and farthing, he has only
lost farthing."
The chief failings of the sex, ac-
cording to a whole host of English and
German proverbs, are changeableness
and talkativeness, the former of which
is equally true Of men, and the latter
not disagreeable to men in the Latin
nations. The charge that "Women's
minds and April winds often change"
and the statement that "a woman's
strength lies in her tongue" appear
to be accepted in various readings
throughout Northern Europe. This
specimen of Yankee proverb is char
acteristic: "Women can keep a secret.
but it takes big crowd of them to do
it." The Chinese say that CA wo-
mans tongue is her sword" but "she
never lets it grow rusty"

A Scrap of Paper Saves Her

It was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.
She was in the last stages of consump
ton, told by her physician that she

enty pounds. On piece of wrapping
paper she read of DR.. Kings New
Discovery, and got sample bottle; il
helped her, she bought a large bottle,
it helped her more, bought another
and grew better fast, continued its use

life sentence in the Minnesota peni-
tentiary, is now dying in the last
stages of consumption. A sentimen-

NOT YET FORGOTTON.
Chicago Tribune.

Any mention Of child stealing
always recalls the Charlie Ross case.
So celebrated was the affair that now,
sixteen years after, it has not to a
great degree faded out of the popular
mind, though perhaps the details have.
Christian K. Ross lived in hand
some dwelling, isolated by large yard,
in Germantown, a Philadelphia suberb.
One July afternoon all of the family
happened to be absent save two young
brothers aged and s years. They
were playing together in the front
street when two men. drove up in a
covered wagon. One of the men
jumped out and addressed the little
boys, offered them candy, and finally
persuaded them to take ride. After
driving a short distance the elder
brother was given some money and
sent on an errand for more candy.
He returned in few minutes, but the
wagon had disappeared and Charley
Ross has not been seen to this day. The
crime was committed to extort ram
som for the return of the child, but the
abductors' fear of capture was so great
that no agreement between them and
the father was ever successfully
carried out. The search for the miss
ing child was persued increasingly and
thoroughly. Prominent Philadelph-
ians interested themselves in the matter
and seemingly no stone was left un-
turned. Countless trips were made to
Europe, every gypsy camp in the
world was searched; the identify of
over 400 children were investigated,
but without avail. Two men were
fatally shot while committing bur
glary on Long Island the following
year, and while dying confessed that
they had stolen the child, but did not
divulge its whereabouts.
A third conspirator was subsequent
ly convicted of completely and sentenc-
ed to a long term in prison, protesting
his innocence and denying all knowl-
edge Of the affair. 1t is the popular
theory that the abductors, at last find
ing themselves hard pressed, murder
ed the child. Mr.. Ross is living down
at Germantown, a worn out, heart
broken old man, but hoping on that
some day, somehow, the little fellow
will come back-little no longer, but
to his loving memory the same sunny
faced, golden-haired boy of sixteen
years ago.
Three years before the disappear
ance of the Ross boy Freddy Leib
pretty little child of 4 years was stolen
in about the same manner at Quincy
Ill. He was never recovered, although
the father impoverished himself in the
search.
One Of the most mysterious cases of
recent years was the stealing of Lille
Shaffner a IA months-old baby, in
this city, about FIVE years ago. The
family lived on Wesson street, and
two older children were wheeling the
baby to and fro in front of the house.
A strange women stopped and after
playing with the baby moment gave
the other children some money to 60
buy candy. When they returned the
and child had disappeared. 1t
was ascertained that she had boarded
4 passing street car with the baby in
her arms, but that was the last ever
seen of either.
