There were half dozen of us at the
railroad station at Erin, Tenn, when an
old man rode up on mule at slashing
gallop, and cried:
Some of you all lend me q gun or.

Naturally enough we inquired what
was the trouble, and he bobbed around
on his saddle and replied:
Il want to kill niger who has in

None of us had frearm, and after a
few minutes the man cooled down con-
siderably. Then 1 asked him how the
niger had insulted him.. and he re-
piled:

PIucky Rerbert Ward.


Herbert Ward, the explorer, Is but
rs years Of age, small and compactly
built-vhat one might call 9 pocket
edition of Hercules. His eyes are blue
and expressive, his manner modest and
retiring, and it Is only when his face
lights up In the discussion of some in
teresting topic that one may see the
reserve force and character that have
carried him through all his trials. Mr..
Ward is an Englishman of wealthy
parents. He had q natural fondness
for adventure, and, as his parents re-
fused their consent, be ran away to sea.
New Zealand was the first point
reached, and soon after he went to
Australia. In Borneo he met Hatton,
the famous Bornase explorer, and It
was not long before the two were In the
country of the head-hunting Dayks.
Surrounded by a high stockade he
could see and hear the Dayks rrovIing
about, and often he had narrow escapes
from poisoned arrows that were con-
stantly being shot into the stockade.
At Bangalia, where Stanley had his
most serious fight with the natives In
his memorable journey across the Dark
Continent, Ward was finally put in
charge of the station which had lust
been established there. The Ban0alas
are a large and powerful tribe, and, in
addition to being highly savage and fe-
rocious, are cannibals. They do. not,
however, eat people of their own tribe,
but depend for this sort of luxury upon
such captives as they can secure, or.
failing in this, they purchase slaves
from friendly tribes.
This important tribe was governed at
this time by q powerful savage, Mata
Bwiki by name. At the commencement
of his command of this station Mr..
Ward was forced to undergo the blood.
brotherhood ceremony" in conjunction
with the chief. This ceremony, said
Mr.. Ward. is very common throughout
Africa An incision is made In the arm
of the two participators in it. When
the blood flows the wounds are splinkled
with potash, salt, and a powder made
from bran. Then the two incised arms
are rubbed together, so that the flowing
blood may intermingle. This done,
the two become blood brothers, and
both swear to assist each other in times
of need. At the end of his three years
of service, Mr.. Ward started for the
coast. On reaching Stanley Pool he
heard about the Emin Pasha relief ex-
petition and that Stanley was coming.
This settled it for him. He would go
with Stanley. A short while afterward
he met Stanley and volunteered his
services, which were accepted, he being
appointed to q command over one of
the divisions of the e1nediEion

There's little nook know
In sgarden quaint and old,
Whare the young folks often 60,
And tales Of love are told;
And softly steal away
When 1 see them lingering there,
For its Just as true to-day
As when was young and fair
True SIS aught beneath the sun:
Two are company, three are noneI'
And in that little nook
Sometimes I love to stay,
And down the years look
To q time long passed away,
When lover prond and true

And neither of US knew
That the world held aught beside
Just ourselves beneath the sun
When two we're company, three were none

The Professor Ahead.

Inc RTOleSBOr ABIGAIL
A teachers standing frequently de.
ponds more on his ability to deal with
human nature than with the intricate
problems of the text books and this ap-
plies to colleges as well as primary
schools. A well-known Professor of
one of our Maine colleges has always
been dreaded more by the incoming
freshman class than any other man on
the faculty. This feeling wears away
somewhat during the last part of the
course, but there is always an awe-in-
spired atmosphere as thick as Down
East fog bank, in this mans class room,
be it filed with quaking freshmen, or
self-satisfed seniors. Jokes have, how
ever, frequently been tried on him,
since college boys are very brave when
they think their tracks are covered, but
the jokes have usually been found to
have q double back-action kick, like an
old fint-lock musket.
With the expectation of getting an
adjourn" from his recitation the next
day, some scamp one night broke into
this Professors classroom and painted
every seat in the room with fresh paint.
When the class assembled the next day,
the Professor said very blandly: %You
can sit down, gentlemen, or stand up,
just as you please. Mr.. A, will
Jou please demonstrate etc.
The class stood for the full hour, its
members finding relief by standing
first on one foot and then on another.
On another occasion when the mer-
curry had dropped below zero another
attempt was made to get an adjourn"
The stove and every window was re-
moved from the recitation room, but the
Professor was found there at the usual
hour seated comfortably In his chair
with overcoat, winter cap and yooleu
gloves on, and without discomfort to
himself, conducted a recitation of an
hours length, with heavens breezes
wandering uninteruptedly through the
room.-LelUisto71 Journal

Too Apt at Retort.

In the latter DAYS of Frederick the
Great, writes Sir Henry Taylor, the
British minister plenipotentiary at the
court of Berlin was Hugh Elliot. The
relations between Prussia and England
were not altogether friendly, and the
personal intercourse between Elliot and
Frederick was not at all so. The King
INDUCED In gibes and sneers but little
disguised, and Elliot In equiYocal re-
torts.
|. A respectable minister of Frederick
at the British court had been recalled
and replaced by 3 VIGOROUSLY ll-con-
ditioned fellow merely to spite the
English Cabinet.
What do they say of Blank In
London ?" asked Frederick In haunting
tone.
That he worthily represents your
Majesty, replied Elliot, bowling to the
ground
This did not mend matters, and the
King would not speak to Elliot at
several successive LeUees. Elliot, highly
indignant, was longing for an oppor-
tunity to be revenged, when, intelli-
gence having srriyed that b der Ali
had made a successful attack upon
British possessions, the King asked, IN
q wicked way:
Mr.. Elliot, who is this Hyder Ali
who knows so well how to settle your
affairs In the Indies?"
Sire, answered Elliot, she Is an old
despot who has plundered his neigh
bors good deal, but now, thank heaven,
ne has come to his dotsge."
