THEIR FIRST FUSS.

A squatter's Pathethic Story OF the Time
He and His Wife Qusrreied.
The squatter's cabin had grown to
pretentious proportions during the forty
years he had occupied It, The old man
remained unchanged except for the eff
seots Of passing years. The crowd Of
young people that had collected at his
house to spend the afternoon pressed
him to tell them a story Of his early life
In that region.
After little hesitation he began:
"Lemme see, hits jist forty-fo' year ergo

didn't Care for San,

He had come from the west to see Bos-
ton. One evening, a moment or two
after leaving his lodgings, he was seen
to take knife from his pocket, cut a
deep cash in tree and walk on. He re-
peated this at intervals along the street.
Cautious as he seemed to think him
self his mutilations had not escaped the
notice of several citizens, who felt sort
of "woodman, spare that tree venera
ton for the tall naples.
"Say, mister" said burly citizen, ap-
preaching the stranger, don't you think
you had better let those trees alone2 Toe
early for sap, You know"
81 don't care for sap" was the reply.
"Then what in the deuce are you
driving at with that toad sticker?"
"Well, what do yer supposef Here
Eve been In this ere town three days,
and haven't been able to find my way
home once. Iwalked around the com
mon three times last night, and then
had ter hire cab. Why don't you
straighten your streets? But ] don't
mean to get left tonight; I'll know this
street when strike it. I'll feel my way
by those hicks In the trees"
An humble apology for the streets on
the part of the Bostonians followed.
Finally map of Boston was presented
to the stranger on condition that he
would spare the trees.-Pittsburg Dis

When Thomas Cruise, the bonanza
king, made the famous sale of the Drum
Lummon the news went all over the
country. For man to jump from pow
cry to a millionaire's affluence almost in
a day was an unusual thing even In IA
mining centre. The result was stream
Of letters to Mr.. Cruise from cranks of all
sorts. He remembers one of them par
t1cularly. 1t was from a minister in
Washington. He announced that he had
by some unknown means secured a good
berth in heaven, the value Of which was
beyond estimate.
1t was "sure thing" and the minis
ter was willing to make an affidavit to
Its existence. He had heard of Mr..
CIuse's sudden rise to wealth, and
thought an opportunity was offered for
fair exchange. He was not entirely
willing to relinquish his claim on the
future snap, but he offered to give half
the berth If Mr.. Cruise would In return
send his check for half his fortune. Mr..
Cruise decided that as matters looked
then the minister would get the best of
the bargain, and he declined to consider
the offer. Helena Mont. Independent.

Meetings of members were held every
Saturday between November and June.
All the members had to wear a sort of
uniform, namely, blue coat and buff
waistcoat, with brass buttons bearing a
gridiron and the words "Beef and Lib
erty," and also ring having the same
device. Each could introduce one guest,
except on particular days, when ac-
counts were looked up, the merits of
candidates discussed and other business
matters gone into.
One side of the room was occupied by
an enormous gridiron, through whdch
one could see cook in white cap and
blouse standing by fire in readiness
for action. The steaks were served on
hot pewter plates, together with Spanish
onions, eschalots and baked potatoes,
and were washed down with port or
porter. The only second course per-
mitted was toasted cheese. This dis
posed of, the cloth was removed, the
cook collected the money in plate, and
the rest of the evening was given up to
noisyrevelry. English Illustrated Maga-

Gaining a Reputation with Eas.

A South Carolina physician, asked
why he located at Monclova, said: SIT ID
first rate place for doctor. If a man
is sick all you have to do is to tell his
friends mo matter whether the affair is
serious or not to go to priest and have
him confessed and prepared for death,
II he dies they will say; What good
doctor he is. He knew he must die, and
30 had hisspiritual interests attended to-
II he recovers they will say. What a
capable physician he must be. The man
was in the last extremity and prepared
for death, and he cured him. SO in either
event IL is first rate place in which to
achieve medical reputation. Medical

Sometime afterward it was discovered
