The other is sun held. This il the pssifal
story she tells:
This man Murrin came TO Toledo last

teman friend of ours, and was introduced
to U.s. He described hrs fine hotel. near
the Au Sable river. told what an elegant line
OF summer trade he had. and said that the
people who worked for him had practically
nothing to do. We were net getting large
wages. and it seemed that this offer was
splendid one. Murrin returned 10 Potts
without rs. Soon came letter written on
'Stste Road hotel stationery. offering N
even more pay and suggesting that he ad-
vance our railroad fare. We still hesifated.
but suspicion Of what We were coming to
never entered our heads.
Finally We decided to try the venture
and accept places sas dining-room girls.
Murrin met US. and as We drove through
the woods and barren plains We were both
frightened. When be drove up before the
crude barracks We both cried. Our new
master was stern and severe We both
asked him to send us home He refused,
saying that he had advanced us money,
and We must remain long enough 70 pay
that anyway. We were given an lily fur
nished room. dirty-in fact. simply filthy.
We sat down and cried for an hour.
The grand place Murrin has described
was rough pine hovci, and his fine trade
seemed nothing bat gang Of spreeing,

door. undecided what to do, IN
til the most wretched looking woman

Dolls, Drums and Swords.

The doll is thousands of years old;
it has been found inside the graves of
little Roman children, and will be
found again by the arch8logists of a
future date among the remains of our
own culture. The children of Pom
peii and Herculaneum trundled hoops
just as you and l did; and who knows
whether the rocking horse on which
we rode in our young days is not a
lineal descendant of that proud charger
into whose wooden fanks the children
of Francis is time dug their spurs.
The drum is also indestructible. and
setting time at naught across the CEN
turies, it beats the Christmas-tide and
New Year summons that bids the tin
soldier prepare himself for war, and
shall continue to beat as long as there
exist boy arms to WELD the drumsticks.
and grown-up peoples ears to be deafen-
ed by the sound thereof. The tin SOL
dier views the future with calm; he will
not lay down his arms until the day of
general disarmament and there is, as
yet, no prospect of universal peace.
The toy sword also stands its ground;
cable vice of our race-the lust for bat
tie. Harlequins, fools-cap-crowned
and bell-ringing, are also likely to en-
dure; they are sure to be found among
the members of the toy world as long
as there are fools to be found among the
inhabitants of our own. Gold-laced
knights, their swords at their sides,
curly-locked and satin-shod princesses,
stalwart musketeers, mustached and
top-booted, are all types which still
hold their own. The Chinese doll is
young as yet but she has Il brilliant,

The Diary of a Tree.

1t is not known to every one that a
tree keeps record with its stem of the
character of each successive season
since it began its growth.
If a peach tree, for instance, be exam
ined after it has been cut down, the
ring of wood formed in each year will
show by its amount whether the sum-
mer of that year was warm OF dry, or
otherwise favorable or adverse; and by
the condition of the wood the charac-
ter of the winter will be denoted. Sc
we're early frost will leave a layer of
soft, decaying wood; and later frosts
will be indicated by change of celor,
if nothing more.
If summer has been so dry as to
cause total rest between the growths
of June and September. the annual
ring for that year will be double one,
and sometimes barely distinguishabie
as one, but liable to be taken, by not
very close observer, for two different
years growth.
At a late meeting of the Botanical
Society of Edinburg Sir Robert Christi
sun gave the results of measurements
of large trees of different species made
annually on lines Of girth marked per-
manently with paint. In the very un-
favorable season of 1879 the deficiency
in summer temperature was nearly 10
degrees.
In seven oak trees, of different spe-
cies, the deficiency in annual increase
of girth was 10 per cent. In eleven
other decidious trees it was ~ per cent
and in seventeen pines it was 20 per
cent, different species of the same fam
ilY Giving very nearly similar results.

Senator Wolcott Tells a Yarn.

When United States Senator VOL
cot of Colorado, was in Chicago, he
was, like every other distinguished Wis
itOr. taken to the Auditorium. He saw
everything from foundation to cope
stone, and was then escorted to Mr..
Peck's office, to tell the latter what he
thought of it all. Wolcott is as full of
fun as goose is full of grease After
eXpatiating in most glowing terms
upon the wonders of the great building.
and speaking of the projectors and
builders in terms which brought a mod
est blush to President Peck's face, the
senator closed his encomiums with a
story. when l lived in New York
some years ago." said he, there was
literate fellow from the Hudson River
districts named Morrissey. 1t wasn't
John Morrissey, of course, but another.
Morrissey was rich liquor dealer, who
wore loud clothes, costly jewelry and
a blazing diamond. He was an Irish
man and jolly sort of chap, but with
a very dense intellect. Like many
others of his kind, he was fond of bio
words, and affected always the lam
guage of culture without knowing its
use VI 1to AICnulh5 ouc llule lHC SUI
ator came down to New York with
some committee or other and stayed at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Everything
was new to him. He stared about a
good deal, but was too shrewd not to
attempt to conceal his curiosity. One
morning the senator was missed. He
had been seen but a moment before.
So it was not thought that he had left
the hotel. Search was made every
where, but without success. Finally
one of the committee found the sena-
tor on the top floor of the hotel wan

rissey, what in the world are you doing

The senator drew himself up with

Hasn't Taken 1t Off Yet.

When man gets the best of a bar
gain it is only natural that he should
wish to remain in that happy frame of
mind occasioned by the transaction.
And it requires strategy-cooi, subtle
cunning-to wrest his gains, ill-gotton
or otherwise, from his grasp or make
him square the account. Honest, up
right dealing hoodoos the under man
as the following incident will show.
Two old men have lived in the same
neighborhood on the South side for
fifteen years. One of the old men has
been in the grocery business all that
time and the other was his constant
customer for years. But one day, how
ever. the customer, who is living on
the interest of his money, came in and
ordered two pounds of cheese, which
the grocer cut off. The lump weighed
trifie over two pounds and, as the
grocer wrapped it up, he jokingly re-
marked:
''Oh, I'll just take that off the next
time.''
This happened eight years ago and
the customer hasn't been back SINCE

A sioux surprise Party.

A good many writers have asserted
that an Indian is born stole, and that
the reason he doesn't laugh or cry or
express surprise OF astonishment lies in
the fact that nature did not intend him
to. That's all nonsense, however
The Indian puts it all on for effect. I've
heard him laugh as hearty as any white
man, and I've seen them when they
were positively thunderstruck with
amaZement.
In 1866 the hostiles got to attacking
one of the stage routes into Julesburg,
and after they had killed dozen peo-
pie part of my company was sent out
to give the red man a setback. We
rode over section of the route one
day, and toward evening secreted our
selves in a long, dry ravine, to see
what would happen during the night.
The stage was due there about l0
o'clock, and soon after we got sur
prise. A band of twenty-three Indians
| came in from the West, struck the trail
Just above us, and came down and
laid themselves away almost on top of
u.s. We had our horses down around
bend, with guards to look after them,
and the Indians had left their ponies at
some other point. We were back in
the dark, where they could not see us,
while they were at the mouth of the ra-
vine and every man of them showed
against the starlight sky. We knew
what they were after, and we prepared
ourselves accordingly. There were
| twenty-eight of us, and we crept up
inch by inch until, when we finally
heard the rattle of the stage coach, we
were not only over twenty-five feet
from the bunch of marauders. We
could hear and see them making
ready, aud just as they were about to
dash out on the trail we gave them a
volley.
Talk about an Indian not feeling sur
prised! Why, they yelled out like so
many old women scared by cow, and
two or three of them shouted to the
Great Spirit to save them as they ran.
We killed nine and wounded four with
that one volley, and only one of the
wounded lived beyond two days. The
survivor was the middle-aged warrier,
bearing the scars of many battles.

saw my purpose he shut himself up like
a clam. l started off with:

'.Why should I have?" he queried, in
terested at once.
TO see that your hair has turned as
white as the snow"
'No 1t can't be! Get me a glass,
quiek!'
At that the group around him burst
out laughing, and the warrier looked
up with rueful expression and said:

scared that my heart stopped beatingn'

Captain semmes' Family.

Happening, the other day, to be down
to see a European steamer land her
passengers, 1 saw coming ashore a
lady with slight girlish figure, pale,
thoughtful, spirited face and a brisk
step. L recognized her as the widowed
daughter of the late Captain Semmes,
of the Alabama, who was, after his de-
feat in the fight with the Kearsarge,
made an admiral in the confederate

Monte Carlo.

The profits of the tables at Monte
Carlo last year were greater than in
any previous year; in fact, they were so
satisfactory that the company decided
to enlarge the Casino, and the work
has been proceeding rapidly all through
the summer. So far there have been
very few visitors to Monte Carlo this
season, and only five tables in the
center room are being played at.

A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common of late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curicus incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise
ment scheme, that one rarely ever
knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception, for what bet
ter is it in morals to take mans
time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-
chew all such lodges and patroniz-
only outspoken and reliable advertis.
