yesterday" said q young North Side man last
evening. "You wrote her up as having laid
out, through the aid Of shovel, the colored
janitor UP al our Clark street fats. Wen, she
did, because he pinched her arm. He has a
habit, as yua said, Of pinching tho arms of
the servant girls who 60 cut on the back
piazzas after coal. Ny wife hit biz, with the
shovel, as you said and she thought she had
killed him, but fortunately he revived She
has been greatly bothered with big, shaggy
black dog who has habit Of running up into

arise, take the rug between his teeth and re-
move it to the lower hall or the sidewalk.
brought it up to US, and we did not know but
that we might some time lose it altogether.
1t worried US greatly"
"One day after the recreant mat had been
returned from the middle Of the street by the
patrolnan," continued the young man, my
wife became disguised. We were having tur-
key for dinner that day. and my wife took
the cooked heart Of the turkey, split it open
and filed it with rough on rats Then she
pinned II together with q wooden toothpick
and put 1t by the door mat She wanted to
poison the dog Along about p. m. up came
the colored janitor to light the gas on our
floor. My wife heard him monkeying around.
She didn't like him, and she went out and
esked him what he was about. He told her.
Then she went back to the preparation Of our
little supper. Pretty soon she paused sud-
denly in her work and rushed out into the
bah. She had remembered that when she
talked to the janitor she had noticed he was
picking his teeth with wooden toothpick.
She looked al around but could not find the
poisoned turkey heart and she concluded
that she had at last killed tho colored janitor.
Hastily she donned her bonnet and shawl
and started out In search Of the unfortunate
negro. He was nowhere to be found, and
her heart began to sink Along about the
same hour the next afternoon he turned up
again to light the gas. lily wife rushed out
and almost embraced him. She asked him
where he bad been, and be said: oh, Use
been awful sick She looked at bis pale face
and responded: You ought to be sick, you
big fool; you ate that turkey heart left for
the dog and it was full Of rough on rata
The bleached out darby feelingly caressed
his overworked stomach and said: I dom
know whether 10 WIZ rough on rats or not,
missy, but kin tell yo' 1t wuz rough on me-
1t Is only question Of time when my wife
kills that janitor. Chicago Herald

A WORD FOR TERRY.
The Only Survivor Of the Famous Broderick-
Terry Duel Talks.

WASHINGTON, August 17.-Colonel Joe
McKibben. the only survivor of the Brod-
erick-Terry duel, is at present one Of the
owners of the steamer Corcoran and half
proprietor of Marshal Hall. the finest river
resort on the Potomac. His country seat
is about seventeen miles from the city
proper and is only accessible by the river
steamer. 1t was not until the Geographic
particulars Of the killing of Judge Terry
reached the city yesterday that it was
known that Colonel Mckibben was one of
those connected in that famous duel. He
was seen at his country place last evening
and his attention was called to the brief
facts of the fate that had overcome
Judge Terry. Eyes, / knew Terry, and
drawer man never drew the breath of life,
he said. "He was principal in the duel
with Broderick, and as you will know
was the second of the latter. There never
was duel fought fairer. Broderick had
as many friends present as Terry, and
while the result terminated in the death
of my principal, | can say nothing against
Terry | know it has been charged that
Terry fired before the word was given, but
this don't believe am now the only
living man who was present at that duel.
In regard to the killing Of Terry by Mar
shall Nagle, l certainly think that he ex-
ceeded his authority. No man has right
to 90 around armed with a re-
volver ready to kill his fellowmen.
That was necessary in the days of '49
when a fellows life was in danger. Things
have changed now and civilization has
changed the manner of living No matter
what people may say about Terry, no one
can question his courage. He has proved
that over and over again. While he was a
In no of
fornians he was strong man in the re-
spect of a great many of the old Caiifor-
mans. / only know what l have seen in
the papers but from that account don't
think that Nagle had anyright TO use such
extreme measures as he did"

Baby, you stand by gate that leads

Little one, hear what the stream sings OF

Il sings of the Joy OF mother love-
Sings to birds in the sand
To the strange, tall birds with dreamy eyes.
That look at You. dear, in mute surprise.
While we stand by the gate,
And watch and wait
And watch-and waltz
If you open the gate no one will know;
The guard will never guess.
You must open it gently. slowly-sol
No one has heard, unless
Those dreamful birds, or the dreamiand sheep,
Heard you stealing through their land of sleep
While stood by the gate.

Here in the land Of dreams
But you must not soc, and you must not tell
However strange it seems,
Or they'll never let you In again,
And it would not please you baby. then,
just to stand by the gate,

Mischievous Princes.

An amusing story was told few day ago
regarding the young sons Of the emperor,
who are continually getting into mischief
During the afternoon games the chamberlain
had introduced them into the mysteries Of
the opera hat, which pleased the children,
'because," as the martial crown prince said,
ut goes of like cannon and will be good
thing with which to frighten mamma"
Shortly afterwerd they were in the recep-
ton room with their father, when the court
preacher, DR.. Kogel, was announced. He
was asked to enter, and the Children, after
greeting him, weTB sent to the corridor to
await the audiences end. Here they espied
the court preachers high hat, and, believing
all such appendages possessed Of the qualities
Of the chapeau claque, considered it fit OBJ
ject for experiment
Little Eitel Fritz, the most adventurous of
the four, look it In his small arms and pressed
itagainst his breast with all his might But
it would not grow less, the expected report
failed to come, and the little fellow tugged
away in vain II cannot do it," he cried,
looking for advice to the older brother, who
stood uniformed at his side The crown prince
drew his sword, and, Strengthening up as a
soldier, commanded at once, as the brilliant

Straightway it was done The hat was
crushed and Eitel Fritz rolled upon the floor.
The uproarious laughter which followed the
accomplishment Of this feat brought the en-
peror from the room, asking what was the
cause Of the unusual hilarity. The crown
prince pointed to the dilapidated remains Of
the court preachers hat and said: "It would
not go off at first, but commanded Eitel
Fritz to sit upon it, and then it cracked just
like the others" The emperor could not for
bear to laugh, while scolding the children for
their pranks, He presented the hat to DR..
Kogel as q memento of his future ruler, and
sent the servant to purchase a new one. Dr.
Kogel now treasures both.-Berlin Letter in

HALE AND HEARTY IN OLDAGE.

Aptis the comparison between such
growth and an old man or woman infufed
with health and vigor. The sine qua non,
the indispensable condition of vigorous
youth. robust manhood and a verile old
age, is sound digestion: Without this
life is shorn of the hearty zest that should
attend it. No more beneficent and agree

fore it would give way. That done, the

NO CORNER IN DIAMONDS.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE rumor OF
a corner in diamonds reported from Lon
don was generally discredited among lead
ing jewellers today, One OF the most prom
inent merchants said today that it was
impossible TO make corner, as capitalists
owned only the big diamond mines, while
smaller mines producing equally as good
stones would sell at fair price and force
big concerns on the market. The slight
increase in price is attributed TO the fact
that nearly all fine gems have been sent to
the Paris exposition.
