THE YANKEE DRUMMER.

knew the proprietor slightly, having
called on him once or twice in the pre-

after afew moments conversation called
his attention to neat little article in

Tho proprietor turned on his heel at
almost the first word, without looking
at the article, and curtly said: "No, sir,

There are very few people who do no

as impossible to satisfy the expert house

tartan who gravely investigates the
needs OF tho ease will find that there is
hardly any limit to the pots and pans
and other articles that can be put in use
in Kitchen OF limited dimensions; at
the same time he will be amazed at the
delicious meals that can be served by
the same cook from kitchen utensils OF
the most limited variety. A good varl-
cty OF kitchen furniture, however, saves
time and doubt. There should always
be an abundance OF sauce-pans, so that
some may be kept especially

Mules Impincablc Hatred.
Some years ago the only whlto rosi-
dent on a Louisiana plantation was un
old gentleman who was very fond of ani.
mails. lie had dogs, eats and pet
motherless pig. During his life there a
goose and all her brood wore destroyed
by 'varmints, " as tho darlsies say, with
the exception OF one wee bird.
The old gentleman was sorry for tho
motherlcss gosling, and fed IL himself,
watching It aud keeping oil other crea-
lures while II ate its butter-milk and
bread from a pan which hc had prepared
for IT. SO, us might have been expect
ed, tho gosling became very much at
tached to him, and followed him every
whero-even miles into the plantation
when ho was riding over 1t looking after
the crops. II grow 20 he n fine gander.
and at meal time would sit at the din
ing-room door and watch, occasionally
poking It's head In, but never Offering TO
stir from the spot until the meal was
over. Then 1t would goble goose FASH
ion, Us much as TO say: 1T is high time
l had something to eat"
One night In summer when the doors
were left open, the gander came to its
masters room and madc such noise he
could not sleep. Ile drove 1t away sew
eral times. hut tcame back each time,
and at last nibbled at the bed clothes.
Tho gentleman thon got up, thinking
surely the creature did mean to tell him
something was wrong. So he followed
1t into the back yard and found that his
fence had been pulled down by some
wicked people and herd OF cattle was
dcvouring his corn.
Now, who would think goose had so
much sense?
On this same gentlcmsn's place was a
negro who was SO cruel TO one of tho
mules that the gentleman discharged
him from his service. Several years
passed, and one day the negro had occa-
sion to return. Ho went through tho
barn.yard where this mule was. The
mulo had not forgotten his old injuries,
and as soon as he recognized his perse-
cutor he made for him and chased him
round and round the lot II was i'm
possible to escape over the high fence,
or through the large heavy gate, so
rapid and persistent was the pursuit Of
the animal; and II assistance had not
come In time 1t is likely the negro would
have been killed.

A Description of Christ.

This was found in an ancient man
uscript, sent, by Publius Lentulus.
president of Judea, to the Roman
senate:
"There lives at this time in Judea
a man of singular character whose
name is Jesus Christ. The barba-
rians esteem Him as prophet, but
His followers adore Him as the i'm
mediate offspring of God. He is en-
dowed with such unparalleled virtues
as to be able to calf back the dead
from their graves and to heal every
sort of disease with word or touch.
His person is tall and elegantly
shaped, His aspect amiable and rev
erend. His hair flows in those beau
tiful shades which no united colors
can match, falling in graceful curls
below the ears, agreeably touching
ON his shoulders and parting on the
crown of his head like the headdress
of the sect called Nazarites. His fore
head is smooth and his cheeks with
out spot, save that of lovely red.
His nose and mouth are formed with
exquisite symmetry; his beard is
thick and suited to the hair of his
head, reaching little below his chin
and parted in the middle like fork.
His eyes are bright, clear and serene.
He rebukes with majesty and coun-
sells with persuasive language, his

AWARDED %, 900 DAMAGES.

The sad story OF . WrOnged Young
woman Formerly of New Haven.
SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 3.-The jury in the
breach of promise case of Annie Husaboew
against Rev Peter Roberts of the Plymouth
Congregational church to-day gave YER
dict of $1,000 damages for the woman.
The case has created a sensation among the
church going people of the city. The dea-
cons of Roberts church have chung to him
and believed in him during the four years
in which the case has been pending in
court, but the evidence given has stunned
them, and in case the young man does not
voluntarily withdraw from the pastorate
of the church his resignation will be per-
emptorily demanded. Roberts is a gradu-
ate of Yale and met the young lady at New
Haven in 1886. He wooed, won and be-
trayed her, and when she demanded imme-
diate marriage to compensate for her shame
he suggested criminal operation, which
she finally consented to and which was
performed in New Haven. While she was
recovering from this he fed to Wales,
whittier she followed him. There he re-
newed his promise to marry her, which had
been given in America, and both returned to
the United States. After further compli-
| cation Roberts absolutely refused to fulfill
| his promise, and criminal case was insti-
tuted against him. The evidence for the
| the plaintiff was very damaging. Attor-
| ney G. R. Pitcher and DIR. Hand both tes-
| tilted that Roberts had confessed to them
the betrayal, and told of his advising the
| care of a midwife and of his violation OF
his promise to marry the girl. Criminal
ing letters from Roberts to the woman
were also produced. Miss Husaboew wal
born in Norway, and at an early age came
to this country poor, friendless girl.
She was respected and respectable anc
soon found employment as a domestic In
the family of Ole Bull, the famous violin
list. She was subsequently employed il
the family Of Governor Fairchild Of Hi
nois, and later on went to New Haven. 1

Trouble Expected.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Oct. 3.-The excite
ment over the capital location, which
reached it's climax yesterday, continued
to-day. After the demonstration against
Messrs. Daniels, Perry and, Nesbit last eve
ming had subsidized, S. R. Mitchell, city at
torney of Oklohoma, who CHANGED to be in
town, sent this telegram to friend at
home: "Your representatives were mobbed
on the street to-day, Send 100 armed
men," The men arrived on the first train
,tt}91is morning and were among the first to
secure seats of advantage in the hall of the
lower house before the body met in its
regular session. Fully twice as many
friends of the Guthrie measure, equally
strongly armed, were also present. Their
presence caused intense feeling, and it
would have taken but the slightest out
break to have caused serious
trouble. Speaker Daniels was too ill,
by the exciting scenes of which he was the
center yesterday, to preside over the ses-
sion. As soon as the house was called to
order Representative Terrill introduced
resolution calling attention to the presence
of armed men in the chamber, declaring
their presence to be undesirable and direct
ing the sergeant-at-arms to eject all spec
tators, newspaper men excepted. The
resolution was voted down 90 to 80. Con-
sidering the probability of repetition of
yesterdays riotous scenes it was deemed
advisable to postpone until tomorrow
further action on the capital question.
Speaker Daniels has framed resolution
which will be introduced tomorrow,
providing for the recall of the Oklohoma
city bill from the senate. When this
resolution is presented, a lively time is ex-
pected. The oklohoma city force is still
here, and its motto is Fair Play for Oklo-
homa City"
The Guthrie force is determined that
its city shall also have fair play, and I'M
less both agree as to what constitutes
fair play, trouble will doubtless ensue.
