The Perils of photography.

I was riding through the country
west of Pekin, ILL.,, with an organ and
piano agent, when we came along to a
school house one evening and found a
spelling school in progress. We had
three miles yet to go to reach town,
but the agent suggested that we stop
for while adding:
eff I can't spell the whole school
down, then l don't want cent"
There was u big turn out, and the
master at once invited us to take q
hand in. I had been there before, and
politely declined. The agent, how
ever went into the ranks with great
enthusiasm, and in the course of tif-
teen minutes, had downed all but
twelve. Then i overheard growls and
threats and mutterings from half a
dozen young men, and knew that he
was galloping to his doom. Five min
utes latter there were only six up, and
at the end of another five the agent
and the belle of the school stood alone.
The mutterings grew londer and more
menacing, and | decided to slip out
oors. I was unhitching the team
when there came a loud cry, followed
bv a succession of crashes, and a crowd
poured out through the door. The
agent was being dragged by the hair
of the head, and as soon as well out
into the yard they rolled him down a
bank into the creek. [ got out with
the team by the skin of my teeth. and,
reaching the town, sat up all night for
the agent. He came in about daylight,
clothing in rags, eyes bunged up, two
fingers broken, and going lame in both
legs. and as he fell into chair he ex-
planned:
Before using and after using! |
first downed the school. and then the
school downed me. and I'll be hanged
if l ever spell another word according
to Webster in my lifer'-N. 7. Sun.

Brandreth's Pills are the oldest, safest and
best blood purifier and purgative known.
They are purely vegetable, therefore harm
less. They always produce the same effect.
Other purgatives require increased doses and
finally cease acting altogether. A course Of
one or two of Brandreth's Pills taken each
night is positive cure for constipation, head
ache and all bilious disorders.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug and
business store, either plain or sugar coated.

STANLEY'S IRON RULE IN AFRICA.
His Theatrical Style in Dealing with an
Alleged Rebel

Thomas Stevens gives in the n. Y.
World this report of conversation he
had with Henry M. Stanley: ''Of
course | wanted to give all of Emin S
people who desire to come out with us
chance to come in, and for this pur-
pose we camped at Kavalis, at the
southwest corner of the Albert Nyanza,
from Feb. IA to May s. To this camp
Emin's people began to flock in, among
them a number of Egyptian officers
and Soudanese soldiers. Among these
officers Jephson pointed out to me re-
bells who were known to have been
plotting against him. He kept sharp
eye on these gentlemen and soon dis
covered that they were tampering with
our men and cOnspiring against us in
our own camp. | at once had the ring
leader put under arrest On him we
found eliminating correspondence,
proving conclusively that he was in
the Mahdist plot to capture us all. At
this time | was about reduced to Il
skeleton by my second attack of gastri-
tbs. ordered court-martial to try
him. He was found guilty on every
count | was in my tent on the fiat of
my back, so weak and emaciated that
l couldn't sit up. | made them prop me
up in q chair outside, however, and |
swallowed bracing tonic to strengthen
me to the task of pronouncing sentence
on this villain. | determined to make
such an example of him that there
would be no further conspiracy in our
camp at any rate.
''They brought him before me. The
people stood around in silence. l
looked at him and mustered what little
strength had to address him: We
came through thousand difficulties
and have risked our lives hundred
times to save and succor you. and now,
in return for all we have passed
through for your sake, what do you do?
You conspire in our own camp to have
us taken us slaves to KhartOum! A
court-martial of white men and of your
own comrades has given you a fair
trial and you have been found guilty
on every count-depart to Godr
The people were SO wrought upon
by these words, and the whole scene, "
said Mr.. Stanley. that they rushed at
him us one man and seized him.
."What shall we do with him?' they
shouted. What shall we do with him?'
ITO God with him!-take him to
Godn and pointed to the limb of a
tree"
The next minute rope was around
his neck, and hundred willing hands
were hauling him up, running away
with the rope.
"Now you see," cried, addressing
the rest of the Egyptians, now you see
you are not in Wadelai. There will be
no coaxing,no patting on the back with
me. I'll hang every traitor among you
l can lay hands onn"
The above must have been fine
piece of tragedy to have witnessed. It
was something even to hear Mr. Stan
ley repeat it in our peaceful camp at
Msuwa, where we halted a day at the
special request of Baron Won Craven
reuth. 1t was the first time | knew
MI. Stanley to be a tirst-class TRACE

right, as the cylinder did not go off

He was not content wifi this, but
said that some of "dem museec pro-

Does he think that any one wants to
steal his waltz. There are so many
other things for people in Chicago
to steal, that we cannot imagine that
any one from that city would come
up to purloin waltz.

Talking of weddings reminds me
of one that | saw years and years
ago. 1t was a darkey wedding in
the South. During the ceremony
the bridegroom became awfully rest
less, and turned and whispered to
his best man. While the couple
were kneeling in the body of the
church where the first part of the
ceremony was performed, l saw the
best man lean over and take hold Of
the groom's foot and pull off the
shoe, then the other in the same
way. The bridegroom then walked
to the altar in his Stockinged feet,
and after the ceremony walked out
with his shoes in his hand Tight
shoes and gay colors are greatly ia
vored by my dark brothers.
