Then, abruptly, without warning of any

How o Came Near Losing Its
Crow of Roustabouts.
While you may not witness any direct
act of cruelty toward the negro roust-
abouts on u Mississippi river steamer
by the mate, you can't help but expect
1t every time the boat makes u landing.
He Is always provided with n stick or
cane, and the way he fiourishos it and
curses the hands is enough to drive q
nervous person to his stateroom. was
talking of this to q mate n day, and
he told me of an incident that hap
pened on the Robert Il. Lee. One OF
the owners of the boat happened to SEQ
the mate strike u hand, and he made
sue q fuss about IL that the captain
promised q change OF programme from
V~icksburg down. The mate was told
how to demean himself. and when the
boat swung out he was as gentle as a
lamb. Before she made her first land
ing he had on u plug hat. a dress coat.
and gloves, and was smoking q dainty
cigar. As the steamer swung in to TAX
on two hundred bags OF cotton seed at a
plantation the mate quietly ordered:
please get out them bow and stern
lines. Please hurry up with that gang
plank. Now, gentlemen, bring on them
bags"
The hands looked at him in great
establishment, consumed double time in
making fast, and when all were ashore
went into convention to discuss mat
tsrs.
Here, you-what's the matter there?"
called the captain.
'Gwine to quit" replied one of them.
Quit! What for?"
"Sunthin' wrong wild dc Leo on dis
trip, Cap'n. She's gwine to blow up or
strike u snag."
What makes you think sop
Look at do mate, sab. Sunthin'
wrong dar-sunthin' mighty wrong.
When a mate stop dat cussin' sunthin'
gwlne ter break"
The owner was consulted, and he said
it was possible he had taken a wrong
view of the case. AS a test, the mate
might go back to old tactics.
Here, you black devils" shouted the
mate, al he peeled off his finery and
grabbed a club, git along now; up
with them bags; hi! there, Kenben;
walk your heels; tote that seed; cuss
your livers, but don't be our minutes

Only In Heart Affairs.
Tho Mexican educates his sons and
sends them to college, but his daughters
have to remain with their mother.
There are too many women there and
they live for nothing but love. They
become accomplished, OF course, but be-
yond being good entertainers, good
Mexicans and good linguists they do
not amount to much.
1t is considered 4 disgrace for n Mexi-
can lady to earn her own living. The
men do the cooking and male servants
do tho h~ousework. II a young lady
should learn stenography and typewrit-
ing, or should try in any manner to earn
her own living, she would be ostracized
from society. There arc many eiresess
there and there are many Mexican ad-
ventures who make their living marry
ing them.
They are handsome, indolent spend
thrifts and tho ladies fall in love with
them. A Mexican woman's beauty fades
early, and when Il wealthy heiress mar
ries one of these men she never lives
long. When sho dies her husband in
variably marries another wealthy girl.

Custom compels the youth to execute

the sutton must pace back and forth for
at least twenty minutes a day. He may

mother before they are delivered to his
love.
His love may answer the notes, but
her replies must be read and edited by
her mother before they are given to the
stately senior pacing up and down in the
blazing tropical sun. If the sutton is
approved by Jne family, ne Is SOOn DOT

Recently a Bayarian paper gave IN
impressive ccoun OF the experiences
OF an English family at Oberammergau.
The worthy ~paterfamilias appears to
have telegraphed from Paris for lodg-
ings and tickets for the play. He re-
ceived in reply a promise of both. He
came and stopped for two days and was
then presented with a bill amounting to
437 marks, or nearly f22, and made up
Of items like these: Sitting-room, three
days, so marks; two bedrooms, with six
beds, 1870 marks; bed for courier, 10
marks; bed for maid, 81 marks; board
for six persons, two days, 72 marks;
twelve dinners, az 4 marks, 4S marks:
fire and lights, IL marks; board for
courier and maid, 10 marks; and so on.
On the top of this he maid fell i'll
through sleeping in a damp bed, and
her complaint was pronounced to be
typhus, and this resulted In a further
claim for 500 marks-I presume as COM
pensation for the infection. Finally,
having thus paid nearly 1000 marks for
their two days fun, the family never
got any tickets and left without seeing
the play.-London Truth.
