Paper Pillows.

All Englsnd is crazy on The subject
OF paper pillows. You tear the paper
into very small pieces, not bigger than
your finger pail, and then put them in-
to 3 pillow sack OF drilling or light
ticking; They are verp cool for hot
climates and much superior to feather
pillows. The newspapers are printing
appeals for them for hospitals. News
paper is not nice for use. as there is a
disagreesble oaor from printers ink.
but brown OF white paper and old en-
velopes are the best. Asyou tear them
stuff them into an old pillow case, and
you can see when you get enough. The
easiest way is to tear or cut the paper
in strips about half an inch wide aad
then tear or cut across. The 6ner il is
the lighter it makes the pillows.

A Slick Article.

If live to be one thousand years old
1 shall never forget how a stranger took
five of US in one day at Syracuse,
n. Y, in a manner so slick that
walked off with our cash before we had
a suspicion, says New York writer.
It was a rainy, dismal afternoon. and q
doZen-agents, drummers, drovers. and
o.hers-were sitting about the Office.
Some one read a newspaper clipping
about bigamist who had sesen wives,
and pretty soon each one had an opinion
to advance. Finally well dressed,
good-looking man ventured the obser-
Yation
II mysel. could have married doz>
en- women on q hours notice. It's all
In the first impression created"
Some agreed and some differed, and
the discussion began to assume more
vigorous tone. By and by the same
man again observed
"You may think me conceited. gen
tlemen. but I'm only telling you what L
know can do. I've always had extra
ordinary luck with women. I'll ven
ture to say that can go down to the
depot, pick out the best looking woman
in the waiting room. and IL not already
married, that can take her to the par
sons inside of an hour.'
There was q grand laugh at this, but
he looked serious as he continued
perhaps this crowd has some money
to lose on that? II so, let rs talk bust
ness
After a bit we cs.me to an under
standing. Five of us were to chip in
500 each against $500 of his money.
We were to go TO the New Y ork Gen.
trail depot and select a female. and IL
she proved to be unmarried he was to
persuade her into marriage inside of
one hour or forfeit his money. We
could have raised 81 600 as we'll as half
that amount, but he could not cover it.
the waiting passengers were seventeen
females, but on looking them over our
choice was limited to three. We final
ly selected a womac we believed TO be a
widow. She was fairly handsome, well.
dressed, and had two parcels on the seat
beside her. We got seats near by and
then our masher approached. He asked
what train she was going out on, spoke
about the weather, and to our surprise
was not rebuffed. Within ten minutes
he bad asked her II she was awidow
she had scarcely answered in the affirm
alive when he began to plead his case
1t was OILY forty minutes by the watch
when he came over TO US and said
Gentlemen, I'd like two or three o.
you to accompany that lady and mysel
to the parsons as witnesses TO our mar
riage.''
We went and they were duly married
and the stakes passed over. The lad!
acted as coy and shy and embarrassed
as you please, and confessed that it wa
a case of love at first sight. They tool

were fairly of we learned that he wa
a hoIsemsn from Chicago and that th'
woman had been his lawful wife for the

A Good Investment.

Some winters ago a woman was COM
ing out from a public building where
the heavy doors swung back and made
egress somewhat difficult. A little ur-
chin sprung to the rescue, and, as he
held open the door, she said, THANK
you," and passed on.
"D'ye hear that ?'' said the boy to a
companion standing near by him,
"why, that lady said thank ye, to
the likes o. me-"
Amused at the conversation the lady
turned and said 10 tie boy
at always pays to be polite. my boy ;
remember that"
Years passed, and last December.
when doing her Christmas shopping,
this same lady received exceptional
courtesy from Q clerk in Boston, which
caused her to remark to a lady who
was with her
What a great comfort to be civilly
treated once in a while, though don't
know that blame the store clerks for
being rude during the holidays"
The young mans quick ear caught
the words. and he said.
Pardon me. madame, but you gave
me my trst lesson in politeness few
years ago."
The lady looked at him in amaZement
while he related the little forgotten in.
cident, and told her that the simple
"ThAnk you" awakened his ambition to
be something in the world. He went
and applied for situation as Office boy
in the establishment where he was now
an honored and trusted clerk.
Only two words, dropped into the
treasury of a street conversation, but
they yielded returns most satisfactory.

An Indian Stery.


NV father could have told this story
better than I-for it was bis father whe
took those pleasant walks TO Canada
which are mentioned below. He went
three times during the Revolutionary
VARIED captive ty the Indians. This
time he and a neighbor of his were
tbreshing in his barn when the loud and
continued barking of a dog excited their
suspicious that The redskiLs were near.
They took their rifles and went out to
reconpoiire. They looked carefully in
all directions, behind trees. up into
trees, under The barn. everywhere they
supposed savage could crowd himself.
but no signs 1f one were to be seen.
Hardly, however, had the two men
returned TO their labor. whsn to their
astonishmept and horror, their dusky
foemen crowded in at the broad opeo
doors OF the barn, and announced to
them rhat they were taken captive.
GRANDPA theirs neighbor, dropping his
fail, sprsIg for bis gun, but before ne
could lay a hand on it he was shot dead.
Seeing the fate of his companion, my
grandfather flung bis fail about hfs
head and brought il down with deadly
had shot him. The savage fell a corpse
to the floor. Instantly the avepger was
seized from behind and jerked to bis
knees, while the yells OF the ipfuristed
red men filed the barn. A tall savage
had the white man by the hair and was
brsndishing his cleaning knife above
him, when q commanding voice uttered,
mo kill him !'' Grandfather thought
he knew the voice, nor was be mistaken.
Before him stood the chief Sasanoa, the
very IDdian who twice before bad
marched with him into Canada.
You will 60 with me - spoke up
Sasanos.
Very well," said grandfather, not
particularly sorry to save his life.
The long march was accomplished !;
and my grandfat her remained prison
er until the peace was concluded. When
the exchange of prisoners took place he
was set at liberty. As he walked out
one day, before he had started for his
home, whom should he meet in the street
but the identical savage who bad three
times taken him prisoner, and three
times received for him the bounty
money.
1.-The old redskin seemed delighted
at the meeting. aud the two men heart
lily shook hands.
"You want to go home ?'
Yes. that's what l do" was the re
ply.
Me take you safe," said Sasanoa.
| and he was faithful to bis word. In
| due time grandfather saw his home
once more, and in the general joy at his
safe return the Indian partook. He
was made fully welcome, and remained
week or more in the family, very
happy In the company of his old travel
ing companion. When at last he felt
that he must return to the woods and
to his own wigwsm. he bade his friends
farewell, and took leave of grandfather
with these words
"Good>bye /; s'pose war come agin-

CURED in Burnsmuck, in the glen OF

They all retired to rest early in the

Union Iron Works TO join the strikers.
The men on guard at the Fulton shop
stated that one of their number had been

Hallen and Hart, the popular comedians,
presented ID. Grattan Donnelly's musical
farce-comedy entitled Later On" to
crowded house. The play is not new to us,
but it has been improved in some respects
since its previous representation in this city.
At most Later On" is only sketch
into which Hallen and Hart introduce
some clever specialties and rather moth
eaten gags. The latter, however, seemed
to be as much relished by the audience as
if they had never been heard before. The
vocal contributions also met with much
favor and they had TO respond TO innumer-
