Here then, was a story where truth
evidently left fiction in the shade.
1t was about ten years ago that poor
woman living on Pine street went into
Mr.. Billey's office.
"My poor daughter is dead,' said she,
"and | want you 10 bury her."
Within half an hour Mr.. Billey was
there. Upon the cot lay tho body OF the
dead girl. She was apparently about 10
years OF ago. Her eyes had been closed
by the hand OF affection and upon hen
face was the settled composure Of death.
Half dozen neighboring women were
sitting around the room crying. As ten.

necessary work and placing his hand un.

siga OF animation. Laying the body
down again he pulled back one OF the

A remarkable coincidence in accidents
to two of his sons has occurred in the
family OF John Marilla, in the East End,
Louisville. The two brothers. Emile and
George Marilla, were victims of exactly
similar accidents at widely separated
places ut the same moment. Emile
Marilla is 10 years old and works at the
Short Line shops at the head of Jeffer-
son street. George Marilla is Is years
old and works at Curd & Stinton's
saddlery store, on Main street.
AT precisely 4 o'clock in the afternoon
Emile was at work near a large circular
saw attending to his duties. Suddenly
lie slipped, and as lie fell his hand struck
against the rapidly revolving saw, the
palm of the hand turnedtoward the edge.
The teeth tore the entire inner portion of
his hand away from the bone, leaving a
serious and painful wound. Attic same
hour George Marilla was at work at the
saddlery store on Main street. He also,
while working at his place, suddenly
slipped and fell, striking his hand against
a small saw used in collar making. The
palm of the hand vas caught and the
soft flesh was torn from the bony frame,

An Honest Cur Conductor.

a prominent citizen of Union Hill
boarded a street car i'll Hobokcn and
handed Conductor Spencer a coin. Spen-
Ger felt the milled edges, and, thinking
it was a fifty cent piece, he put it i'll his
pocket without examining it and re-
turned forty-five cents change, which
the other man quickly put in his pocket.
A few minutes later the conductor was
making change inside the car and dis.
covered that the supposed fifty cent piece
was a $40 gold piece. He put it back in
his pocket and asked the Union Hill man
the denomination of the coin he had
given him. cit We /, a quarter" the
Union Hill man said.
II gave you twenty cents more than
you are entitled to-" Spencer remarked,
quietly.
The Union Hill man laughed, but did
not offer to return the change.
"l'm satisfied if you are" said Spencer.
Nothing more was said until the car
reached the top of the hill at Weehawken
and the man had shown no sign of re-
turning the twenty cents. Then Spencer
said:
IF you keep my change I'll keep what
you gave HE and call it square,"
The Union Hill man put his hand in
his pocket and exclaimed: "By Jove! /
gave you a $40 gold piece"
"You did," replied Spencer, land you
intended to swindle me out of twenty
cents. Here's your $40, but you don't
deserve to get it back"
The prominent citizen pocketed the
money and got off the car at the next
corner.-New York Sun.

The lake in one place is almost cut in
two by a sort of peninsula, with Il spoon
shaped extremity running out into the
lake; and there the Indians in the ''good
old times used to make their great buff
falo drive. Stampeded by mounted men,
from a large section adjacent the animals
fled to the lake and were gradually CON
centrated OH this peninsula; the hunters
then advanced by boat or along the land
and shot them down at leisure. At
length the white man broke in; the great
Turtle mountain buffalo raids began; for
seventy miles in a line the prairie the
next summer was n Golgotha-whitened
with buffalo skclctons-and old settlers
still tell of the ''big money" made by
gathering their bones. In five short
years every buffalo was gone, and the
Indians had to starve, fight or emigrate.
They fought and were whipped; part
emigrated and the rest IRE starving.-J.

Found, Il Rembrandt.

The supposed discovery of a REM
brandt representing Abraham and the two
angels has made a stir in artistic circles.
The picture was included i'll the sale of
the furniture of a widow without heirs
ordered by the state, and the state expert
fixed the upset price at 200 francs. A
Paris picture dealer, who had had a hint
from the deceased's doctor, bid up to
1900 francs, and the picture was knocked
down to him. The state expert had de-
scribed the subject as Jesus and the dis
ciples at Emmaus, a strange blunder,
considering that the chief figure was an
elderly man with a long white beard.
The story does not end here. The au-
thorities, after all, are not agreed, some
insisting that the work is a Rembrandt,
others arguing that the signature and
date, 1866, are a forgery. l asked a con-
noisseur on Monda: what the picture
was worth. THAT depends OH circum-
%stances,' he replied; "if it is by Rem
brandt 300, 900 francs, if by one of his
pupils $50, 900 francs, for anyhow it is a
fine old picture" 1t seems odd that, the
artistic merit being the same, the value
should be only half in one case what it
would be in the other.-Cor. London

How to Make Good pnste.

A transparent mucilage of great tcnaci-
ty may be made by mixing rice flour
with cold water and letting it simmer
gently owe the fire. Another way is to
dissolve a t%easpoonful of alum i'll a quart
Of water. When cold stir in as much
flour as will give it the consistency of
thick cream, carefully beating up all the
Jumps. Stir in half a te~aspoonful OF
powdered rosin. Pour on the mixture q
teacup of boiling water, stirring it well.
When it becomes thick pour i'll all earth

When needed for use take a portion and
soften it with warm water. 1t will last
at least a year. If you wish to have a
pleasant odor stir in a few drops of oil of
wintergreen or cloves.-New York Jour-

Murder Revealed in a Dream.

The Rev. Stephen Colyer, of Mt. ver-
non, had a dream some weeks since in
which he saw two men commit murder
near his home. He was SO impressed
with the vision that he related it to his
family and friends.
A few days afterward the reverend
gentleman was visiting in the neighbor-
ing county Of Laurel. In taking a walk
he approached hill which seemed famil-
lar. On reaching the brow he was hor.
rified to find the body of a dead man,
whom he at once recognized as the one
seen in his dream. The man was tall,
with a gray mustache and hair, and was
well dressed. Not a paper was found
about his clothing. Five dollars in silve,
was all he had in his pockets. There il
no clue as to his identity. The scene
where the corpse was found is the one
seen i'll the preachers dream.-Memphis

A Unique

Lying on the desk of Mr.. w. 3. Som
e%rville, in his cozy office in the big West
ern Union building, a reporter espied a
very strange newspaper. At first it
looked like a large piece of foolscap
closely written, but upon closer exami-
nation it proved to be a real live news
paper written by hand. This unique
newspaper is published at Prince Albert,
q small hamlet i'll the center of the Cana
dian northwest territory, and is called
The Prince Albert Critic. Its size is four
pages, four columns to the page.
The paper has a circulation of several
hundred copies and is a specimen of
what can be done by an enterprising
journalist without q font of type. The
mode of issuing it is rather peculiar.
The matter, instead of being set in type,
is written in ink with an electric pen on
prepared paper, the rest of the issue be.
ing imprints of the original sheet. The
paper is newsy for its size, contains
quite q number Of advertisements and is
the official paper of the hamlet.-New

a Pretty Western Preacher.

The Rev. Carrie Bartlett, who is be-
coming widely known as a successful
preacher in the Unitarian ministry at
Kalamazoo, has been speaking for a
Sunday or two in Brooklyn, and has
been a guest at several club receptions.
She is young and more than commonly
attractive, with an oval face, regular
features and large soft eyes. Her hair
is brown and curls about her face. 1t
is gathered in a soft knot at the nape of
the neck behind. Her voice is pleasantly
modulated, but the great charm of her
presence lies in the expressive face,
which is at once sensitive and reposeful.
She does not affect either the masculine
or clerical in her dress, wearing a simple
black gown with white collar and a wide,
rather picturesque black hat with droop-
ing ostrich plumes.-Pittsburg Leaders

a Serpent In u Cloud.

a few days ago Atkama Yatzry, a
Bengalese gentleman residing on the fiat
seven miles north of Shuttezat, saw, as
he affirms, an enormous serpent floating
along the sky in a fleecy white "tezarer'
or "wind cloud" The cloud and its
shiny passenger passed directly we Mr..
Yatzry's farm, and bore off in the direc-
ton of the ''Blue Jungle" Over a score
of men, women and boys working along
the flat attest that they saw the same
hideous monster while in his ethereal
flight. One witness describes the serpent
as being at least four 'tsongs' GOO fcet)
in length and as big around as a mans
body, with a head as large as that of a
large alligator. He was yellow and
black striped, according to all witnesses,
and kept continually rolling over and
darting out his head in genuine snake
fashion. The natives are much excited
overthe matter.-Calcutta Indian Gentle

This brother is go years of age, and he is
in the Cook county hospital. He went
there seven years ago, and for ten months
was treated for a rupture. During that
time he became such a favorite and was
80 useful in small ways that he was
placed upon the pay roll at a salary of
$40 per month and given light work
about the place. Meantime his wealthy
brother was spending his thousands Law
ishly. He bought two yachts and hired
captains for them at $1,000 per year
salary each and lie went on long and ex-
pensive cruises. He never thought of
