Furnishing a Cur.

During the year 1884, was located in
st. Louis, and on several occasions had
observed a fine st. Bernard dog stalking
with dignity up the street. He was owned
by a lawyer who regularly sent MIN on err
rands to his home. On one occasion
saw him coming up the street with a bas-
ketful of something, probably meat, and
at his heels was "cur of low degree,
which was persistently swapping at him,
as If endeavoriug to get him to drop his
charge, when the little dog could sail iu
for division of the contents, The large
dog stopped twice ON the block, turned
round and looked at his tormentor and re-
sumed his pace until he reached me, when
looking up into my face with an express
sion that almost said. please mind this
for moment" he laid the basket at my
feet, turned and with one bound had the
cur by the neck, shook him most unmer
cifully, rolled him In the gutter and
dropped him. The cur took very little
time In getting out of sight, not ever
stopping to shake himself. The St. Rer
nard then picked up his basket and will
| = satisfied air went ON his way.

Three Kisses OF Farewell.

Three only three. my darling,
Separate, solemn, Slow
Not like the swift and juyous ones
We used To- know,
When we kissed because we loved each othc
simply 10 taste loves sweets
And layised our kisses as summer
Lasishcs hsats,
But is they kiss whose hearts are rang
When hope and fear arr spent,
And nothing i. lett to give, except
sacrament.
First Of the three, my darling.
* sacred unto pain,
We have hurt each othtr often,
We shall again;
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
low the written words are so much colder
Than eye and hand.
kiss thee, dear, Tor all such pain
Which W ma, give or take,
Buried, forgiven, before il COMES.
For our loves sakc.
The second Kiss. my darling,
Is full Of Joys sweet thfll
We have blessed each other always,
We always will
We shall reach until we feel each other
Past all Of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place.
The earth is full OF messengers
Which love sends to and fro;
Kiss thee. darling, for all Joy

OF the Redeemer, he caused the nails to

The most vigorous kick against
newspaper business we have read
lately is attributed to the Chickasaw
Enterprise. 1t says:
"A man may use the wart on the
back of his neck for collar button,
ride on the back coach to save inter-
est on his money until the conductor
gets around, stop his clock at night
to save wear and tear, leaves his
i and without a dot and cross to
save ink, pasture his mule on his
mothers grave to save corn-but
a man of this kind is a gentleman
and a scholar compared to the man
who takes newspaper two or three
years, and when asked to pay for it
puts it back in the postofiice and has
it marked refused When a man
wants his paper discontinued he ought
to have the manhood to pay up and
inform the editor that his paper is no
longer wanted"

A telegram received at Governor
Merriam's Office this evening con-
tains the startling intelligence that

of Mile Laos Lake are once more at

The Masa Chippewa Indians at
Mile Laos Lake have commenced
killing and driving out the white set

and wounded; all inoffensive Swedes.
No known cause.

may have been killed last night.

Even Nicholson arrived here from

reported that MaGuesom had been

and that three families who had locat-

are getting very anxious and are en-
pecting an attack at any minute.
The Indians have been having q
dance and have come from all par s
of the reservation and are drinking
heavily and making the woods ring
with their hideous bowls. The peo-
pie of Mora are making arrangements
to send aid to their relief if news of
any further depredations are received.
Gen. Rugger, commanding officer
at Fort Homing, has made arrange
ments to leave at once for Mora with
several companies of regulars i'm

A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa,
dated the 18th inst, says: To-day
the annual meeting of the German
Baptists convened here. The ques-
ton as to whether women should
wear riding habits was taken up and
the convention advised that no su-
perfluities should be worn. The
question as to whether gold watches
should be worn was also taken up,
and, after discussion, it was decided
as a cause for expulsion from the
church. 1t was also decided that at
tendance at places of amusement was
wrong. No member who uses tobac-
co can be chosen as a delegate or put
on standing committee. The mset-
ing voted down the motion to en-
courage local option, as the general
rules of the church forbid taking part

In the recent number of the North
American Review DR.. Hammond CON
tributes an article in which he strong
ly protests against the general use of
ice water as beverage in this coun-
try. 1t is hardly probably that the
doctor exaggerates when he says that
the people of the United States drink
more ice water in one year than those
of the rest of the world drink in ten
years. He is especially severe in
condemning soda fountains that rival
with each other in their efforts to see
which can furnish the coolest drinks.
He holds that many of the disorders
that are common IN this country either
originate in or are aggravated by the
Ice water habit. In concluding his
advice DIR. Hammond insists that no.
body should drink any liquid cooled
down below so degrees Fahrenheit.
This warning from such an eminent
physician as DIR. Hammond should be
carefully needed, but it is quite prob
| able that no attention will be paid to
it. The American people care less
for their health than they do for their
immediate comfort.

sion of the hurricane in Samoa, the
Navy Department has decided upon
sending him a whale boat of the lat

Clinker build, of the finest material
and fittings. 1t will be built at the
navy yard, Mare Island, and when
completed will be sent to King Ma
tafa, accompanied by an autograph
letter from President Harrison, testi-
flying in the highest possible manner
to the bravery exhibited by Mataafa
and his men in rescuing so many

be accompanied to Apia by a com

it is expected that the party will
leave California about the middle of
