So they wrcstled, and for time the
strife was doubtful, and Mass-wa-we-in-

was so active; but ut length he threw
him to the ground.

he cried, and at that instant his OPP

On looking at the spot whore the lit

tho usual red, hairy tassel at the top.
While no gazod he heard voice say;
"Divest mo OF my covering and reveal

Mass-wa-wc-in-ini obeyed these direc-

A voice addressed him from the corn

A FoRTY-DoLLAR JOKE.

How u Washington Doctor Punlshed Ono
OF His Tormentors.
II q prominent physician over in tho
Northwest hasn't got even with one
practical Joker then 1t doesn't lie in the
telling. The physician lives in very
modern establishment Not only is
there special night-bell, but speak
ing tube connects the door-steps with
the head Of his bed. The practical Joker
has had fun with this. He has been
coming along about 1880 a. m. and stand
ing on the opposite corner and laughing
until his sides ached, thinking how funny
he was and what good time he was
having. Then he would cross over and
ring the night-bell, and howl up the
speaking tube as II whole regiment OF
mothers-in-law on the next block had
ten-minuto cholera and we're dying by
the wagon-load. And the poor, tired
doctor would rouse out OF his first sweet
sleep and "hello'' down the tube. Then
the funny man would say:
"Does DIR. j. live here?"
"Yes."
"uave you lived here long?"
"For twenty years Who are youP
what tho blazesd do you want?"
"Just want to know why you don't
move. That's all. Ia! tai"
And then tho funny man bounces
down into the street and scoots home,
where no laughs for half an hour
straight.
He didn't laugh half SO much tho
othor night. The doctor was loaded for
fun. lie knew that laugh and that
veil, and he stuck funnel in the tube
and poured in two quarts Of equafortis1

and gurgled for one second and then

RUSSIAN DISCIPLINE.

II Beats tho Boasted German Army Ar
tlclc An Hollow.
A German was boasting in the pres
ence OF some Russians about the obcdi-
enco and discipline of the German army,
citing numerous instances from the war
between France and Germany.
''Gentleman," replied one OF the Rus
SLAMS, what you SAY !about the disci-
pline in tho German army amounts to
nothing at all when compared with what
occurs continually in the Russian army.
But will merely recite one instance Of
what occurred at the beginning OF the
reign OF the Car Nicholas, when the
discipline in the Russian army was COM
parativcly lax. At that time, before
the telegraph was discovered, the Rus
SLAMS used signal stations, which were
q few miles apart. The so,dier made q
signal which was repeated by the SOL
dior at the n,>,t station. and thus the
news was conveyed thousands of miles.
zone day soldier at a station near
st. Petersburg did not see the signal in
time. and dreading the punishment that
awaited him for negligence, deliberate
ly hung himself on the signal tower.
The soldier at ;he next station mistook
this for signal, so he deliberately
but promptly hung himself, also.
In consequence of the discipline which
prevails in the Russian army, next
day 1t was discovered that all the
soldiers at tho signal stations from St.
Petersburg to Warsaw had hung them
selves on their signal towors OF course
a much stricter discipline prevails at
present, and"
THAT will do" replied the German,
~ give 1t up."--Tcxas Siftings.
