An Indian Territory Tale,

PARIS, Tex, August 7S-lnteiligence has just reached heCe of remarkable phenomenon five miles west Of Good land, Indian Territory, and about thirty miles west of north from this city. Some tune slnoe 2 waite man named Charles Gooding hired an Itisbman named Mike Duhaney 10 dig well on his place. A depth of sixty feet was reached at boon Saturday. Duhant y started to go down to resume work. When about twenty feet befox the sur- are be screamed to bis assistants to haul him out quick, he was burning up. He was pulled out in an uncon cious condition, and II was two hours before he revived. The poor fellow was lter- ally blisiered. A coa, which had been thrown across the wlndlass was scorched till Il crumbled to pieces. The rope was also burned until lt fell apart. Peo- pie Of the neighborhood are much pug zled over this freak, and many are greatly alarmed. Others take q more hopeful view, and believe that It is nat ural gas.

Stolen Kisses Get an Omaha Ma |,
 Into rtoubic-

A good joke is being told on weil known young Third street man, says an Omaha exchange. He IS a great society nan. He IS handsome and polished and something of a dandy. He IS quite good looking, and a par of glasses balanced on his arlstocratlc nose give him an intellectual ar that he would not otherwise possess For year or so he has been devoted to well known young society woman. Not week has ever passed that he hes nos been st least twice to see her. About month ago he proposed and vas accepted. About two weeks ago the engagement
 was broken only to be patches up again shortly aaerward.
 Tbe cause oi the engagement being broken was tha, the young man made nis accustomed visit, he was shown into the parlor. While sitting there he heard his bstro,hed coming down the stairs. He stepped to the door, and as she passed the door ne leaped out and printed kiss upon her lips. 4 is'n' scream above startled him. He looked up ana saw his sweetheart at the head of the stairs. He looked down and saw that he had the house mad m his arms. He tried to explain matters, but bis sweetheart would not have II, aud the engagement vas broken. She alter wards accepted hts explanation and re- lnstated him
 This experience would have cured mos, people. but ii did not cure hun. A few nights ago he called again and entered the parlor. There was no light in the hall nor in the parlor. In short time he heard his girl coming down the steps. He stepped out into the hall and as she reached the bottom of the stairs he enclosed her in his arms and imprinted a long. lingering kiss upon her ruby lips. Releasing, her he struck a match and h, the gas, then turnisg to snatch kiss, he was horrified to see before him the blsck cook. He gave her dollar not 10 say any hing about II, but i, was too good to keep, she told it.

A House in a Bottle.

Some years ago q blind boy residing in
Chicago constructed miniature house
inside an ordinary four ounce medicine
bottle. The building was made up of
forty pieces of wood, all neatly fitted
and glued together 1t would have
puzzled man with two good eyes to put
the pieces in the bottle without the task
of putting them together AS wonder
full as the above may seem it is only a
part of the remarkable achievements of
this sightless lad.
After completing the house to his salts
faction he set about fastening the cork
in the bottle, but howIhe accomplished
the startling feat has ever remained a
mystery. Inside the bottle below the
neck a small wooden peg was driven
through the cork, which extended far
enough on each side of the stopper to
prevent it being removed from the bot
tie. The boy is unable to explain the
astonishing piece of ingeniousness. St

l have seen many days of joy, but !
remember no such exhilaration as that

To appreciate such an era in life one

of such an acquisition.

worse than any possible insult could

"Bub."
do not think there is any law, human
or divine, demanding that boy should

A Lively FIy Tran,

In passing drug store / noticed an
oil painting placed in the window for
exhibition. While looking at it l sud-
denly saw small dark object spring out
from a crevice near the window, leap
high into the air, make quick move
ment and drop back to the floor.
So quick was the motion that it was
all over before it reached my brain that
what | had seen was mouse. The little
creature now sat looking intently at me,
as if to say, "What did you think of
that?' while at the same time l observed
that by its cat like movement it had Sc
cured something which it was chewing
with great relish.
Presently the mouse stealthily con-
cealed itself in an opening and left only
its pointed nose visible. 1t remained
perfectly still; not muscle moved.
Then fly few past. Quick as light
ming the mouse sprang into the air.
caught the insect in its mouth, devoured
it greedily and resumed its former posi-
ton.
This was repeated several times within
few minutes. In every movement the
mouse showed cunning and uuickness
similar to that of its much dreaded enc
my the cat. l wondered if it had
profted by the lessons its old enemy had
taught it. It never failed to catch its
prey as it few within reach or chanoed
to light upon the plate glass.-Cor.

has paid every item with scrupulous reg
ularity.-Paris Letter.
