Retributtve Justice That Made White
 Man Fell Like a Sioux.
 ''No, I don't pretend to pose as a prominent humanitarian or disciple of the Henry Bergh school" explained certain St. Paul real-estate magnate to a Pioneer Press man, "but l certainly do not approve of unnecessary cruelty to animals, insects, or even reptiles. The disposition to torture any animate object for pure cussedness stamps man as about ten centuries behind the present era of civilization. l received an object lesson in this matter when was boy. It was along in the eos and I was living in Olmsted County, this State. The Zumbro river was remark ably good ground for disappearing in those days, and party of us were one day floating down toward the falls in a flat-bottomed punt and jabbing away in dustriously at stray suckers, pike, sheephead, and an occasional muska- longe. There was barefooted chap along with us named Stansbury- Charley Stansbury-and he availed himself of an opportunity to drive his four-pronged harpoon through the shell of an in- nocent mud-turtle that happened to be in unlucky proximity to the boat. No body laughed except Stansbury when he hauled in the offending reptile and kicked 1t of into the bottom of the punt. After few minutes of impressive silence, and while every one was at tentively watching the water, the wounded turtle managed to crawl up and nip good-sized nouthful out of Stansbury's heel. The first intimation we received of such retributive justice was yell from Stansbury like Brule Sioux war-whoop, and the boy sprang into the dark waters of the Zumbro. I shall never forget that awful event." said the real-estate man, wiping his eyes Ut made lasting impression. The poor fellow went down three times"
 Event down three times, eh?'' in- quired casual listener. "Of course he was drowned by the time you got him out%'
 "We didn't get him out" explained the dealer "We all concluded that he deserved what he got. Yes, he went down three times into his pantaloons pockets after we got back to Rochester and set up the drinks, with the proviso that we should keep still about it. I have kept the secret for twenty-five years, but the thing has worn on me fearfully"

4 Good Story Toid u { fhe E:speuse of q
 Brooklyn Society l." iy.
 A story is going the rounis of Brook lyn's fashionable circles, sais the New York Herald, which shows how absent minded persons may often find them selves in very embarrassing situation. One of Brook!yn's re!gning society belles, it is said, recently entered Court street confectioner's to indulge her taste for sweets. She had been shop ping and carried number of small packages, which she laid on the counter while waiting the filling of her order "a pound of French mixed"
 When she was about to go the polite clerk laid detaining hand on her arm.
 Beg pardon, miss," he said, "but you've forgotten something" pointing to a small oblong package on the coun- ter.
 The young lady looked at the package. It did not in any way resemble any she had received during her shopping tour. It Was oblong and flat, and seemed to contain something of hard nature. She finally counted her packages, decided that it was not hers and said so.
 But the clerk was sure he had seen her lay it down, and the proprietor, who was toner was the owner of the mysterious package.
 "But it is not mine," she returned, greatly annoyed. '1 have all my pur- chases. If you think 1t is mine open it, and that will soon prove am right"
 ''That's so," was the confectioner's re- sponse, and without further barley he s1t the string and unrolled the paper. First 6 piece of fine brown paper was taken of, then some fine tissue paper, and under this was-what do you think?-an acknowledgements silver coffin plate, which informed the aston ished beholders that civilian Stubbs" had died in his sixtieth year, while a pious wish that his soul might rest in peace appeared below in fine engravers' script. The young lady shrieked and almost tainted, for she at once remem- bered that her last call before coming to the confectioner's was to an en- graver's to get some visiting cards en- graved in 6 peculiar style which is be- coming fashionable. In 8 faint voice she explained this to the confectioner and then offered to take back the plate. She was allowed to do so, followed by the amused looks of the confectioner's clerk.
 On arriving at the engraver's she found that the place had been turned almost inside out in the vain search for the cof1n-plate of the late MT. Stubbs, who WI to be buried next day. She had picked it up with her other parcels on leaving the place before.
