DO you know my grave was dug in
this town during the war for me to be
buried IMP said gentleman in our of.
fee, on last Thursday.
No, sir we never met you before"
We'll, it was. My name is Crane, and

Regiment. | was sick nigh unto death
in hospital in Marietta, and heard the
doctor say to a man who entered the room
How many graves are you having dug.
Three, was the response Well DIG one
about foot longer than the usual length,
for that tall sargeant will be dead by
morning, and the instructions were carried
out, but you see did not fill THAI grave"
mo, you don't look like resurrected
corpse.
The reason | didn't die was, l got bet
ter by next morning and ate raspberry
jam, determined not to fill a grave that
was dug before died.
PROF. j. S. Stewart, of Cave Springs,
recently elected as associate President OF
HARDWOOD Seminary, was in the city on
Saturday and Sunday last. Marietta is
fortunate in securing the services of SC
capable and courteous gentleman to pre-.
side over her educational institutions.
With his able associate, Prof j. c. Harris
who has been with us so long in the con-
duct of the Male Academy, we may ex-
pect that greater impetus will be given to
the growth and prosperity of both schools.

Talk of the Town.

Change" yes, change" is
marked on everything. Nature
shows it invariably with her going
and coming seasons. Wintry winds
have ''changed'' into balmy breezes,
and gentle spring is whooping up
the buds, flowers and onions.
And the Alliance pillow boy, all rag
ged and torn,
Is whooping up the old mule, all
forlorn,
Frequently wishing he could hear
the dinner horn,
Or had been changed to "gal" be-
fore he was born.
So it is " change " change"
Change" we hear,
From morn to morn, from year to
Harrison goes in, Cleveland goes
out,
Giving us a "change" we didn't
care about.
But the Change we like is dollars
and dimes,
That roll in Leake's till at all times.

fancy groceries is town talk, and
nearly every Marietta table is sup
piled with good, substantial, healthy
food from Leake's stock, so varied,
complete and full. All the dainties
and delicacies for the sick or the
healthy, the poor or the wealthy,
can here be found in abundance, at
prices that suit the Change" in all
pockets. Experience is knowledge,

selling enables Leake to please in
quality as well as quantity. All
goods pure and fresh. Besides heavy
and light groceries, country produce,

was a novelty. The people have what they
call soups A soup is sort of outdoor

ing are introduced. The young folks stir
the soup with long handled iron spoons,
walking around the kettle as they stir.
When a girls spoon clicks against the
spoon of young man he is bound to catch
and kiss her. As you can imagine, there
are good many lively scrimmages around
the kettle. When the soup is done it is
ladled out into plates and eaten, and is de-
licious.
saTae custom is an old one, and was un-
able to find its origin. Acompanyof Stone

around Shepherdstown, and it still keeps up

Cute Little PIaythings for the Noble Red
Mans Little Daughters.
CHICAGO Tribune.l
A sign on a window of house on North
Clark street attracted my attention, and I
went in. The proprietor is dealer in In
dian curios. Somebody told me that in his
collection there was lot of Indian dolls. 1t
was news to me that an Indian baby
ever had such plaything as doll. In
fact, the Indian child, hasn't much oppor-
tunity to play as do the children of the pale
faces. L was informed that the Indian dolls
in stock were made for traffic purposes and
not for the amusement of papooses.
ut has only been recently" said the
curio man, "that Indians have known what
dolls were. The missionary is responsible
for this. Many of the Indians of the pres
ent have primers which contain pictures Of
dolls. And then the kindergarten has
helped to educate them. The little redskins
have taken to the wigwam paper dolls and
the older Indians have made dolls from
buckskin, beads, and porcupine quills.
Some of this work is really wonderful, and
proves to my mind that the Indian is not
the lazy lout which some people would have
us believe. You would be astonished, sup
pose, to know how many of these dolls
have sold. 1 can't get enough of them.
The average price for an Indian doll is 30.
sold one last week for $15."
It was fine piece of work, except the
face. An Indian can't make face.

AN ARISTOCRATIC SWALLOW
Gets Free Ride on Sleeping Car From st.
Paul to Portland.

Ls
Paul to Portland.
st. Paul Globe.1
A we'll known conductor on the Northern
Pacific was telling a queer story yesterday
at the Merchants about the compulsory i'm
migration of a hen swallow, nest, eggs and
all, from St. Paul to Portland, Ore. The
swallows, last spring, evinced particular
fondness for the caves of a sleeping car in
the yards in st. Paul, and several nests
were built by the busy little workers
before the repairs on the interior of the
car were completed, and it was returned
to the service. When the car was pulled
out and attached to the west-bound train,
there was a commotion among the feathered
community; but the train pulled out Just
the same, and every one supposed that the
swallows had concluded to build new homes,
and start new families. When the first stop
was made, however, there emerged from one
of the nests badly scared hen swallow,
which flew around and about the car until
the train started. when she darted into the
nest again, resuming her exhibition of be-
wilderment at each stopping place.
The bird travelled all the way to Port
land in the same way, being kept watch on
by the sleeping car porter, who, when
ordered to do so by one of the road officials
at Portland, knocked down the nest, and
the bird mother, bereft of the home and
prospective progeny she had so zealously
guarded, few wildly about for time and at
last flew away to seek, perhaps, a new mash
and material tor new mansion.

NEW YORK STREET SCENE.
have scarcely ever seen more remarka-
BILE performance in the way OF spontaneous
street scenes than the one witnessed q few
days ago on Fifth avenue. There are num-
Der of young men, of the genus ''swell," in
New York, who are highly skilled drivers
of four-in-hand teams, and the manner in
which they sweep along the pavements on
top of huge drag or coach, with some
finely dressed ladies at their back, is an
intimidating as well as an impressive
spectacle. On the day in question
thoroughly brilliant and beautiful turnout
of this character went gayly down the ave-
nue. with great rumble of wheels, jangling
Of harness and spirited horn-tooting. At
one of the cross streets dilapidated ex-
press wagon driven by two very tough look
ing young men tried to shoot into the ave-
nue, but was intercepted for an instant by
the four-in-hand. The driver of the ex-
press wagon was compelled to pull his horse
back rather sharply in order to let the drag
get by without collision. No harm what
ever was done, but the tough young men on
the express wagon were in rage. Their
swarthy, bad laces had the expression of
murder in them as they shouted curses at
the persons on the drag.
A RowDY's LESSON.
thought the episode would have an end
ing here, but suddenly the express driver
lashed his horse and gave chase to the drag.
On broad gallop he overlook the four
\ -vlo Il o11 A.
enable pace, and went ahead of them. Then
by the most ingenious handling of his beast
he wheeled to and fro across the path of the
drag, compelling the driver of the vehicle
to pull up. The situation was extraordi-
nary. It was open warfare of the most dis
agreeable sort. By no possibility could the
driver of the drag get his leaders beyond the
express wagon, for the young fend. with his
single horse, managed to place his vehicle di-
rectly against their breasts wherever they
moved. The air was filed with the curses Of
the toughs, and the ladies on the drag had
to necessarily hear them. The youth who
held the reins of the four-in-hand turned
very white, but did not lose his presence of
mind. He kept his eyes fixed upon the face
of the rowdY as it was turned tauntingly up
at him. Just as he was called q frightful
name by his tormentor there was q quick,
sharp swish through the air, and at the
same instant long whip lash cut squarely
across the rowdy's face. There was shrek
of pain, the horse in the express wagon
leaped into the air under the inspiration of
another lash of the whip that caught him
under the fanks, and in less time than it
can be told the young man on the box of the
drag had his team lined out, and, amid the
merry notes of the silver horn, was rattling
away as though nothing had happened.

out one spring morning to hear the grass
grow; for he understood even that, and as
he wandered in the light May green and
saw how the bright wonders of the air flew
around the star flowers, and heard how the
cricket in the grass, the birds on the boughs
and the frogs in the meadow brook sang
their marriage song, he thought OF his VII
lage home that he had left years ago to at
tend the university, and he also thought OF
the little black-eyed maid, who had given
him heart of cake at parting, and who at
the same time had shed bitter tears, and the
thought of all this enlivened his spirits
wonderfully.
On the following day the scholar tied mp
his bundle, took clumsy stick in his right
hand, and carrying pleasure and Joy In his
heart, wandered out of the gate into the
fresh world.
Three days after he caught glimpse be-
bind the blooming fruit trees of his native
church tower and its familiar blue-slated
roof, and the wind carried softly over to
him the sounds of bell.
"Will she know me?" said he to himself.
Scarcely, and shall have trouble 10 dis
cover in the 1S-year-old maiden the little
Greta ofold. But her eyes; her large, clear
eyes must surely disclose her to me. And
when L see her sitting before the door on the
stone bench, then l Will creep up to her and
and the rest will take care of itself.
The scholar threw his hat in the air, and
gave such loud shout that he was fright
ened at his own voice. He looked shyly
around him to see if anyone had been wit
ness to his freedom, but aside from field
mouse, which had fed hastily into its hole,
there was no living thing near him.
With fast beating heart the scholar made
mis- way into the village. The sounds of the
bell were no longer heard, but in their place
there arose joyful strains of violin and flute.
A wedding party was moving through the
narrow village street.
The bridegroom, q young and sturdy

And so he came even more frequently and
was soon an expected visitor.
He brought the old grandmother sugar,
coffee snuff and other timely presents, and
he entertained the miller with pleasant talk,
but he directed not one word to the blind
daughter. instead he contented himself with
gazing at her through his gray glasses. Then
the miller pushed the grandmother gently
with his elbows and the old woman nodded
her wise head.
One day as the scholar had left the mill
and was going along the edge OF the
meadow. he noticed a mole, which hung in
a moose and was struggling to escape death
an the pallows. The kind-hearted man went
up to it, released the captive, and placed it
on the ground, then mole and scholar each
went his way.
One evening as the learned man sat IN his
study, it happened that bat flew In at an
omen window. That is not exactly strange.
But when he perceived that tiny mau not
larger than finger was seated on the bat,
and that this small creature dismounted and
bowed profoundly before him, he was over
come with establishment.
"What do YOU seek here?" he asked of
the midget, and not in an altogether friendly
tone "Go to a necromancer and 90 not dis
turb sensible people at their workF :,
The little man, however, did not allow
himself to be confused, but seated himself
on the writing sandbox and said:
"Do not repulse me; 1 wish you only good,
for YOU have freed me to-day from an evil
condition. The mole whom you released
from the moose was /.
Indeed! And who are you really?"
asked the scholar, at the same time examin-
ing the little man through his glasses. He
had a fine and delicate form, and If the
spectacles had not been so gray, the scholar
might have perceived that the tiny being
wore a small green coat and a gold green
cap.

A Monroe street hair dealer: "f you
know where can get any Indian scalps I
shall be obliged to you for that information.
Indian scalps, like buffalo heads, are be-
coming mighty scarce. You never can ac-
count for peoples tastes Now, about the
last thing in the world that some people
want is an Indian scalp, and yet there are
people who want just that sort of q
curiosity. I had an Iudian belt not long
ago which had nine scalps hung to ii, and I
sold it to a man on the North Side tor $35. I
have bunch Of hair here-it isn't scalp,
as there is no skin attached to il, just
handful, as it were. 1t is worth s.. Indians
are not scalping as much as they used to,
and that is why scalps are high. In fact,
everything which Indians used to make are
becoming scarcer and more valuable.
''Take the common Indian basket that used
to sell for 50 dozen, now you can't get one
for that money. There are two reasons for
this. One is that travellers buy them first
hands as curiosities and pay the Indians
Just what they ask. Another reason is that
since the Governments has got to taking
such interest in Indians, taking care OF
them, the Indians are lazier than ever and
make less than formerly"

A PoPULAR QUEEN.

And so the tobacconist's son mounted the
throne. But let us turn from those times of
intrigue and horror to the present. If we
do not find Queen Christina riding or sitting
In the park with the little King, we will
surely find her bending over her embroidery
frame; in this delightful art she is the
most accomplished woman in Europe.
Wherever she goes she always visits the
monasteries and examines their ancient
treasures, talks with the nuns about the old
stitches and patterns and encourages them
to initiate them, often herself teaching the
less expert, showing them how to utilize all
the ragged pieces by cutting them out and
appliqueing them on cloth of gold or silver.
In the lacemaking districts she
tries to encourage the old indus
