Fortitude Born Of Love,

1t was in the year 1880, in third
rate city called Neufchateau. in the
Department des Vosges, France, about
noon. that we were passing, my father
and myself, in front of store where
in addition to hardware supply of
ammunition was kept for the use of
a regiment there. says II correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press. Suddenly
we heard a terrible explosion. and be-
ing thrown or having unconsciously
ran, | know not which. we at any rate
found ourselves about twenty yards
from where the explosion occurred,
and could see part of the roof in the
street.
We had hardly reached the building
when man came out of it covered
with powder, his hair and beard burn
ing and large pieces of flesh hanging
from his face and bare arms. Never
will / forget the horror of the sight;
his flesh was charred and his clothes
partly burned. As he reached the

ceiving no answer lie went right back

In the last Ohio Legislature was a
Representative who had been elected
and reelected until he was serving his
fifteenth term. At the opening of the
session the first bill introduced was to
grant authority to a certain Thomas
Shields to construct mill dam on Il
certain river. Some one hunted up
the fact that this bill had been regu-
larly killed through the efforts of the
old timer at every session for dozen
years and when he was asked to eX-
plain he said:
Its just this way: A dam there
would be all right, but Shields is down
on me, and the minute bill passed he
will lay for and give me a whaling
So long as | can stayo off his bill he
will let me alone. hoping to get it
through the next session."
.'But the people favor a dam there,
and it is hardly fair to keep them out
of one because you and Shields have a
quarrel.
but l don't propose to invite a
pounding.
Later on when the bill came up a
number of the members rushed it
through against the protests of the old
timer. ''Well. you will see what the
result will be. Eve got to get ready
for licking"
Three days later, as some members
were going home from an evening
session, they found bundle of some-
thing against a fence. When lifted up
and undone ii proved to be the smashed
remains of the objector to the mill dam.
They recovered consciousness when
handled, and when one of the finders
asked what had happened voice
family answered.
Il met Shields here about half an
hour ago, and the result resulted, just

Where Coiors Come From.

The cochineal insects furnish great
many of the very fine colors. Among
them are the gorgeous carmine, the
crimson, scarlet carmine, and purple
lakes.
The cuttlefish gives the sepia. 1t is
the inky fluid which the fish discharges
in order to render the water opaque
when attacked.
Indian yellow comes from the cam
ell.
Ivory chips produce the ivory black
and bone black.
The exquisite Prussian blue is made
by fusing horses hoofs and other refuse
animal matter with impure potassium
carbonate. This color was discovered
accidentally.
Various lakes are derived from roots
barks, and gums.

from certain resinous substances.
Turkey red is made from the madder
plant, which grows in Hindostan.

A New England "Dicker."

The grasping-though not miserly-
nature of the native New England
farmer is somewhat proverbial, says
the n. I. Press. 1t is hard to get the
better of him in a ''dicker," and he
very seldom gets anything for nothing.
His keenness in this respect was well
illustrated by the experience of a young
Boston man who recently spent a week
in New Hampshire.
The Young man wanted to hire a
boat for the day. and the farmer owned
one which was moored to the bank of
the river.
Can you let me have your boat to-
day?" he asked of the owner.
wall, let ME see" was the cautious
reply. Il don't knows ] can. You
see thar's man over here, Mr.. So-and-
So, the other feller. Yer know. He said
t'other day he wanted my boat, and ne
may be 'raound this morning"
well, I'm sorry, as | should like it
to-day very much. You don't think
you can let me have it?''
No; cum ter think of it, feel pretty
sartin the other feller'll be round arter
it to-day And if he wants it he orter
have it.
That settles it, then. l suppose, :"
said the young man. But can you tell
me any place near here where you
think | can hire a boat?n
''Oh, you want ter hire boat. do
yer?n
Yes"
''Wall, naow. seein' yer want ter
hire boat so bad-come ter think on
it, it's gittin' kinder late. and / don't
believe that other fellow will be 'raound
this morning-it's mos 9 o'clock, You
want ter hire it, Yer say?"
Yes. How much will you charge
me for it for the day?"
The last time let her out / charged
so cents for her, but l kinder think
that's a leetle mite high. guess I'll
let you have it for 25 cents
The boat was taken.

Beneath Their Dignity.

Owen Fawcett, who is taking his
brief rest at his home in Detroit, was
encountered by the Gossip OF the Free
Press:
Il saw Downing the other night as
Virginius." he said. That reminds
me of Forrest-an antidote he related
in my hearing on the stage in Fords
Theatre in Baltimore one day at rea
hearsal during the season of 1898.
The persons who figured in it were
Forrest and colored waiter at Bar
NUNS Hotel. AT breakfast the waiter
said:
"Mas'r Forrest, | seen you play Vir-
ginius de odder night, l golly! You
play him right up to de handle. l tink

asked Mr.. Forrest.
""Ah, dar's whar we stick. We can't

His Lucky Day.

There is a little messenger boy at
Deer Park who thinks the wife of the
president of the United States the kind
est woman in the world, says a Wash
ington correspondent of the n. Y. 7ri-
bagae. He is poor little chap, this
Harry Schoolcraft, but with an honest.
manly face, and somehow he manages
to get along and almost entirely sup
port father and mother who are both
invalids, and younger brother. For
many day he carried messages from
the hotel telegraph Office to the white
house cottage, usually giving them to
the preoccupied president or his busy
private secretary. One day he came
away from the cottage with a bright
face. Some one asked him if he had
handed the message to the president
himself, and then spoke of the honor
of being the bearer of dispatches to the
chief magistrate of the United States.
Harry blushed He was patriot and
loyal but he finally blurted out:
Il would lots rather give them to
Mrs. Harrison; she always gives me 90
cents"
Whether it was due to the half-dollar
or Mrs. Harrison's uniform kindness to
the lad, he was one of the group of vii
layers who came down to the station
at the presidents and Mrs. Harrison's
departure from Deer Park. Harry
didn't know it, but it was his lucky
day. He sat on the truck the picture
of woe while the following dialogues
were going on:
Mrs. Halford to Mr. Halford:
..n g, Al 81
senger boy dollar"
Mrs. Harrison to the president.
Il haven't any change, Benjamin.;
will you give that poor little boy some
thing?'
The president to his private secre-
tary:
.'See to it, will you, HaIford, that
the messenger boy gets good fee.
As result of these commands Mr..
Halford gave the lad on the truck So,
but did not mention the fact to any
one. Mrs. Halford passed him a little
later, and, fearing that her husband
had forgotten him, she drew out 81 and
handed it to the boy. AS the train
pulled up Harry was perched on the
railing to get last view of his muni-
ticent but departing patrons. Mrs.
Harrison saw him.
The little messenger boy, Benjamin;
don't forget him."
..Ah, yes" said the absent-minded
president, shaking hands with the sur
prised Harry, and leaving in his palm
change that amounted to exactly 81 so
In the car the subject was mentioned
''Did you-h queried Mrs. Hal
ford.
Il did" answered her husband.
1T is all right, Halford; had tho
change, so | feed the boy said the
president.
$50 did l." remarked the secretary
pensively, looking out of The observa-
ton end of the fast departing car t.
the open-meuthed lad ON the feee.t
who still held one hand full of the pres
ident's quarters, and drew from his
pocket with the other Lies muniiicent
donations, the whole aggregating s.. so.

1t Is Taken Away While the Sleeper Is In
Dreamland.

The captain told of some of the ex-
ploits of the native thieves and assured
me he was speaking the words of truth
and soberness, says writer in the
Toledo Blade. am certain of the lat
ter, as it was his first drunk that day.
You have heard" he said, that
an Indian thief will steal the sheet
from under a sleeping man without
waking him. The story sounds ridicu-
lous, but / know it's true, as lost f5
on bet that it couldn't be done, soon
after came to India.
II made the bet with the senior cap
tain of my regiment, and the only
stipulation was that / should not harm
the thief in case of waking suddenly
while he was at work.
The sheet on which I slept was
marked so that it could be positively
identified. Before going to bed ex-
amined it carefully, and on getting up
in the morning saw the sheet was still
there | smiled triumphantly and al
ready felt the Is note in my fingers,
when there was a rap on the door.
Opening it, | received a note from
the hands of my seniors servant, and
opening the bundle found the marked
sheet Then / looked at the bed and
found another sheet. My bet of Is
was lost.
I'VE breakfasted at the mess, and as
l paid my wager begged an explana-
ton of the trick, avowing that the
knowledge would be worth the money.
The senior readily told me, and since
then I've more than made myself even
by making the same bet with newly ar
rived subs.
This is the way it is done. In sum-
mer in this hot climate you never have
any covering besides Your pajamas or
sleeping dress. You lie on the sheet,
which is spread on the mattress, and
take any kind of position you choose.
Mosquitoes are abundanG, and the buzz
zing of these pests is too frequent to be
noticed.
The thief comes to your bedside
armed only with feather He imi-
tates the buzzing of a mosquito, and at
the same time tickles you with the
feather until you turn to one side of
the bed, but without waking. When
you are beyond the middle of the bed
he gently rolls the sheet until it is close
to you, and then he goes to the other
side of your couch, and, with buzz and
feather, at length causes you to turn
the other way.
when you have rolled yourself
clear off the sheet he gathers it up, and
if he is on a real plundering expedition
he is off at once. But when we make
a bet with our friends we generally
have another sheet put in the place of
the stolen one, which is done by con-
tinuance of the process I've described. l."

want OF humor among Englishmen.
According to the eX-premier, ball

There's n Difference.

Sir Edwin Arnold says journalism is
a serious business. So ii is. 1t is only
when a man has gone through and
come out into the bright light of the
newspaper business that he feels the
weight OF the universe lifted from his
weary shoulders. The journalist never
smiles. He is a great man and must
be dignitied-as dignitied as hungry
man can be on Sl2 month. 1t is only
