word to Terry and marched on, nobody be-
lievinQ the word. Terry came up with
the cavalry and they went ahead
up the valley of the Little Big Horn along
what is now the road from TT. Custer TO
Grow agency. but seeing Indians along the
bluffs on the right, or western side OF the
valley, they thought best to wait until the
infantry caught up. The infantry arriving
they marched closer to the river as the In
dams grew more numerous, and camped
just below where the agency now IS in low
place which gave them some protection.
The Indians came out, seemingly as COM
panies of cavalry, bearing four of the
cuidons OF the Seventh cavalry. and for
short time some thought they were part OF
that regiment. The commander ordered 9
COMPANY of cavalry to reconnolter, and
soon it was ascertained that they were In
dams.
Nobody slept that night. It was now GER
tain great disaster had happened Clusters
command. Every .precaution was taken
against surprise, and the pickets were firing
the night ludicrous thing happened. "A
mule had been tied to cracker, box, the
rope having been inserted through some
| knot holes. This was in the center of a
| pile of boxes, and the mule pulled the box
out and the pile came down with crash and INC
camp dragging the cracker box after it..
Everybody Jumped up and began assailing
the mule under the belief that it was an
Indian warrior riding through camp as an
| act of bravado.
In the morning camp broke early. very
few Indians being seen. After marching
some distance the head of soldier was
seen in the grass, its CLASSY eyes staring at
the column. Many of the soldiers knew
him. The position of the head gave it the
appearance of being attached to body
buried standing. It was horrible sight,
and the men used to battles and blood
would look st it moment and then turn
their heads away. A soldier attempted to
carry it along but couldn't. 1t was covered
and left. and when the other bodies were
buried it was brought up and inferred with
them.
The command soon learned of Reno:
condition and marched to them, the hostile
Indians having all disappeared. The com
mand then marched down to Custer 8 BATH
field, where they saw the remains of Custe
and his men. Over hundred Indians wer'
found dead on the field. All were buried
as we'll as it could be done, and thus endes

THE FAIR THEOSOPHIST.

She cares not for the worldly things
THAI nt,rtain the rest of us;
She SO. on spiritual wings,
lar. far above the best of ua.
She smiles but yet declines to mix.
With diffident apology.
In mothers meetings, politics,
Lawn tennis Or theology.
Complncent. self-possessed, and cool,
Though curates come soliciting,
She will not teach the Sunday school,
Nor venture district visiting.
On church bazaars she sets no store,
Nor tickles our hilxrity
BY singing Ask p'liceman!' for
The sacred cause of charity.
So elevated is her mind.
This life is far too rough Tor her,
And orthodoxy cannot find
A heaven good enough for her.
She asks, and we forgive the sin
In charming femininity,
She asks to be Chela in
Thibet, or the vicinity.
Severe the task! Yet she has found
The proper means OF learnlng 1t;
And sits beside table round
And tries her hand at turning it
Severe the task! But who shall mock
The skill she soon will get in it,
Who secs her take a cuckoo clock,
And find cigarette in it!
How fair the vision when she plies
Her search by hook or crook for 1t!
What depth OF meaning in those eyes,
That wander round to look for 1t!
Such quests, we'll can understand,
May rob the time OF tedium;
So let'her hold me by the hand,
And will be her medium.

A Pineapple Layer Cake.

Make a nice cup cake with one cup of
butter, two of sugar. four eggs, cup of
sweet milk. three large cups of flour, and
two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar and one
of soda. Beat the butter and sugar to a
cream, add the yolks of the eggs, then the
milk in which the soda has been stirred,
and then the -four and cream tartar, and
finally the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff.
fine in grain, and rich as pound cake, but il
it is carelesslv stirred together it will be q
poor, coarse cake. Bake it in layers. Chop
a pineapple fine and cook it with three,
quarters of its weight of sugar; add to il
while hot quarter of box of gelatine
which has been soaked an hour in cold
water.

Cauliflower in Batter.

Thoroughly cleanse and cut away the
outer leaves of a firm, fresh cauliflower;
boil it in plenty of well-salted water, until
nearly tender; then drain carefully, and di-
vide it into sprigs or fowerets. Season
these lightly with salt and pepper, and dip
them separately into some rich, well made
frying batter. Drop carefully into sauce
pan containing generous supply of boiling
fat, and let them remain until colored a
lovely golden brown. When done enough
drain we'll in order to render the sprigs
crisp and dry; then pile up tastefully on
sprigs of parsley every here and there. and
serve Immediately. If the batter is cor
| rectly made and the caulihower properly
| cooked. the appearance of this dish is most
attractive-the outside of the sprigs being
crisp and dry. while the inside remains
moist. Insert tiny sprigs of parsley every
here and there.

Chicken Pates.

Chop meat of cold chicken fine and season
with salt. Make large cupful of rich
drawn butter, and. while on the fire, add
two hard boiled eggs minced fine. little
chopped parsley and the meat of the chick
en-. Let this mixture almost boil. Have
ready some pate pans of good rich paste,
remove the covers with the edge of a knife,
fill in with the mixture and arrange on hot
platter. In baking the crust it is good
plan to fill in with u square of stale bread
which is easily removed as soon as 1t comes
from the oven. This keeps the crust from
falling fiat as it would otherwise do without
the chicken mixture.

country seat was made of fish left from the
preceding days dinner, but many of the
guests laughingly protested that they should
never have patience to wait for chance left
overs, and intended to buy the needful
quantity.
The hostess directions follow:
Mash one pound and quarter of boiled
halibut fine, adding potato in the same pro-
portion as for fish-balls; season nicely with
butter and salt, and make very moist with
cream. Put the mixture in baking dish,
and brown in the oven. Serve with an egg
sauce, if preferred.

Scalloped Fish.

Break one pound of boiled or broiled fish
cold-into small pieces, carefully removing
the bones and skin. Add one gill of milk,
one gill of cream, one tablespoonful -four,
one-third Of cupful of bread crumbs. Boil
the cream and milk, mix the -four with one
third of cupful of cold milk, and stir into

taste with salt and pepper. Put little of
the cream sauce into the bottom of a small
pudding dish, then layer of fish, seasoned
with salt and pepper, then another layer of
sauce, and another layer of fish. Finally,
cover with the bread crumbs and bake until
brown. This quantity will probably re-
quire about twenty minutes cooking.

RAPID TR ANSIT,
Are We Getting What We Expected

Are We Getting What We Expected
Editor Morning NeICs: In common with
large portion of this community l ex-
pected moro than is being realized from the
equipment with electricity of the Belt Line
road. Its patrons had their patience severely
taxed during the evolution from mule" to
mo mule" by broken schedules, snail-like
progress and long waits upon turnouts
They suffered and endured, cheered by the
promise of better thing in the future.
There was hope, but there has been no
fruition. We, the people, have given and
continue to give our valuable franchises,
but the Qttid pro quo cometh not.
If minute late ut the far corner" there
are thirteen weary, waiting, wearisome
minutes to kill before the next car comes
along. There seem to be but eight cars on
the line, and they seldom meet at the
switches without waiting. The service is
not satisfactory to the public, and certainly
can be improved. 1t is the duty of the
management to see to it that the public
have what they have a right to expect from
this company. Under the old ownership of
the line, and with mule power, every
promise to the public was made good. The
people feel kindly to the line, and will
show their appreciation Of the enterprise
shown by liberal patronage, If proper
service is given.
Citizens living near this line want to use
1t If a fast schedule is run, but are compelled
to patronize other lines when their sympa-
thles are with this one. No unkind spirit
prompts this, but desire to make public
mention of the matter, believing that a
remedy will follow. No ENEMY.

A FORTUNE IN AN OLD CHEST.
Plasterer Tobin of Long Island Sud
denly Becomes Wealthy.

Plasterer Tobin of Long Island Sud.
denly Becomes Wealthy.
New YORK, Dec. 24-Long Island City
contains one very happy family. 1t is that
OF John P. Tobin, plasterer, who resides
", With his wife at u West Fourth street.
This tale, which involves sudden rise
from poverty to comparative atiuence,
reads like fairy story. Tobin and his
vile came to this city from London in 1888.
Ihey brought with them, inseated of the
traditional old armchair, an old chest,
which had been in the Tobin family for
several generations. 1t was originally pur-
chased from secondhand furniture dealer,
who kept shop on King street, London.
Why Tobin brought this cumbersome chest
across the Atlantic he is at a loss to explain.
Atany rate, he has carted 10 around with
MIN from place to place and several times
EFFORTS have been made to give the chest
away, but without success.
Thanksgiving day Tobin thought he
would get up an appetite for the family
turkey by cutting some firewood. When he
reached the cellar the first object he saw
was the old chest. A few blows with the
ak demolished the old relic, disclosing to
the astonished gaze of Tobin a false button.
On closer examination he discovered 8
small package wrapped in chenois skin
Dag Opening this, Tobln found a small
tln box, and when this was opened his
breath was nearly taken away by the
gntterlng of gems which lay before him.
he turned the contents of the box into his
nand and walked over to a window.
twenty-five sparkling diamonds rested in
his palm.
His first impulse was to shout with joy.

Went upstairs and showed the precious
stones to his wife. See was surprised be-

a. rest upon this point he called on Lawyer
Nooie, who assured him his claim TO the
diamonds was oil right.
The lawyer advised Tobin to take the
gems TO an expert and have them appraised
Jeweler to whom he showed the dia-

value TO be over $4,000. Tobin was be-

BACK FROM THEIR WHALE RIDE.
The Return OF Men Who Were Sup
poseo to Have Perished at Sea.

The Return OF Men Who Were Sup
posed to Have Perished at Sea.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The steamer China brought to this port
yesterday four men. all alive and hearty,
who had been considered drowned. They
are whalers, and were attached to the bark
c. W. Morgan. The Morgan arrived here
from the OkhotSk sea few weeks ago, and
soon after it was learned that six men,
while chasing a whale, had their boat
smashed and were drowned. That they
would turn up from the billowy deep was
unexpected, and their arrival took whaling
circles by surprise. The story of their re-
markable escape from death was given yes
terday substantially as follows:
On Sept. the Morgan deserted monster
whale, and a boat was lowered with six
men in it-Second Mate II. A. Mertin,
Boatsteerer Will Griffith, John Peters,
James Cook, L. Stevenson and b. F. Har-
grave. The boat drew close to the whale
aud harpoon was sent whizzing into its
hide. The whale ''set off on dead rum"
as one of the survivors feelingly expressed
it, with the boat-load of startled men in its
wake. The bark was soon lost sight Of, but
the men determined not to cut loose unless
1t became last resort
Toward o'clock in the evening darkness
shrouded the waters, which we're lashed to
fury by high winds. The line connecting
the whale with the boat was cut, and the
monster sped away, harpoon and all. The
mon put about the direction OF the vessel,
but after weary row of five miles they
gave up the search in despair. During the
night one man sat at the oars, while his five
weary companions slept. For four days
and four nights, which the survivors say
seemed lengthed by their sufrerngs into
ages, the same privations had 10 be endured.
On the fourth day the scantv supply Of
fresh water and provisions gave out, and
the problem of starvation was forced on
them for solution.
Fortune favored the whalers, however,
and toward the end Of the fourth day they
reached the Siberian coast, and were nos
pitably received in village. They stayed
there a few days, and then, embarking in
their boat, voyaged eighty-two miles TO
Cape Saratoga. Thence they went to a
place called Acampa, where they remained
nearly month. They were as fortunate in
their travels by land as they had been by
sea. The natives supplied them with clothes
and provisions. When they arrived at Ker-
socco, q government station. it was to hear
that the Russian man-of-wa st. Petersburg
was expected to reach there soon. The
cruiser deposited 400 woe-begone cOnvictS at
the station condemned to the dreaded
mines. The whalers were then taken on
board and carried first to Vladavastock and
then to Hong Kong. The American consul
then took them in charge, and all excepting
HargraYe and Stevenson we're sent home on
the China.

DIE BOE'S THRILLING RIDE.
He Etched His Tricycle. to Passen-
ger Train and Couldn't Let Go.
Ero1,7 the 81 Pn.J GJobo

From the ST. Paul Globe
James De Doe. lineman employed by
the Great Northern Railway Company, ac-
complished q feat last night which, while it
was to great extent involuntary, is no less
remarkable. De Doe is furnished by the
company with one of those tricycles SO con-
structed as to run on the regular railway
tracks. The machine works with hand
lever, and a speed of ten miles or more an
hour is quite commonly attained. De Doe
last night accomplished the extraordinary
feat of keeping up with short line train
running thirty miles an hour for a distance
of over two miles. He wouldn't d. it again,
he says, for $4,000.
He was waiting in the yards for the 1880
train to Minneapolis to pass him. The train
passed all right. ana stopped for few sec
onds with the tail coach close to whore De
Doe stood with his machine. That gentle
man conceived brilliant idea. He would
take turn with a section OF No. wire on
one of the each buffers, make the other
end fast to his wheel, and save labor. The
connection was made In such a way that he
calculated he could release himself by cut
ting the wire when the speed got too high.
He chuckled, when the train started up, to
think what a suap hs was going to have in
getting TO Como. The train was fraction
OF minute late, though, ana the speed ran
up to twenty miles in no time. De Doe saw
with alarm that the little wheel on the
other track was jumping q foot clear of
the rail every few seconds. He determined
to cut the wire, and reached around behind
for his pliers.
They were gone. The unusual motion had
jerked them out of the tool box. The speed
was up to twenty-five miles now, add the
tricycle. wes spinning along on two wheels.
with the beam carrying tho third, tanning
the air like kite tai.
De Doe was working hard to unwind the
connection with his fingers, when there was
a gigantic plunge. a telegraph nneman
shot through the air like a meteor, and
landed 10 pile Of sand beside the track. A
railroad tricycle. kept going and lit thirty
feet further on, a badly wrecked vehicle.
The concern bad rua of the track.
That Do Boo was not killed is a miracle.
He was at home last evening, however. and
only few scratches told the story Of bis
thrilling experiences.
