Devils Lake is the name of a body
Of water in North Dakota which has
from time immemorial been held in awe
by the copper-cOlored abOrigines who
live in the vicinity The Indians be-
lieve that the lake is inhabited by the
evil spirits and the name Minnewakan
Devils lake, was given it hundreds of
years ago. Weird tales of the dOings
of supernatural beings supposed to
people it are numerous aud the truth of
many fictitious stories told about 1t
have until late years never once been
doubted. Civilization is, however, get
ting in its work in the neighborhOOd
and is rapidly dispelling the feeling of
awe in which the lake has been held by
the Indians.
There is a modern story of Devils
Lake, however, which yies IN super
stitiOus fancy with those Of abnormal
times. Not alone the Indians, but the
soldiers at Fort TOtten, which Is stu
ated on the northern border Of the lake,
have q firm belief in the existence of a
phantom steamboat which IS said to
pIv the waters of Minnewakan. Some
weird tales are told Of how this airy
creation goes putting up and down the
silent lake in the darkness of summer
nights, its spectral fires cleaning on the
black water and the beat Of its screw
keeping up a rhythmic motion that be-
comes suddenly silent on the approach
of q mortal.
The first appearance Of the phantom
steamboat was early in the SOS when
it was witnessed one night by party OF
soldiers who were crossing the lake.
Many people have since claimed tC
have seen it go putting up and down
the lake In the darkness of moonless
nights, its fires making trails Of light
on the water, while the thrObs Of the
ghostIy engine were distinctly heard.

Keeping Step.

Many years ago, said a weI-knowR
writer lately, L visited two families in
the city of New York. The first was
MIR. Ledger, a professional man Of
moderate means. He had a wife, two
daughters and a son, who visited in 8
circle made up Of people who all pos
sessed large incomes. The Ledgers,
however, from time to time gave balls
and dinners as nearly TIvaling their
Weather neighbOrs as their income
would permit. The girls wore costly
jewelry and laces and gowns made by
fashionable dressmakers.
at Is foolish, perhaps" said their
mother, apOlogetically, "but we must
keep step; we must keep up with the
procession"
The second house to which I went
was also that of a poor professional
man. His family had gathered about
them friends who had culture and re-
hnement, but who set a just estimate
on money and fashion. They we're not
ashamed of being poor, and made no
pretense of wealth.
The morning after arrived l found
the mother and daughters busy packing
Christmas box which was to go to a
school for colOred children in Alabama!
Each member Of the family brought
something; the father had bought
books, the girls had dressed dolls, even
the children had mended their old toys
and eagerly packed them.
Sarah has not yet brought her
share, said Mrs. Blank. At that mo-
ment the old cOlOred cook came IN with
a bag Of cookies which she packed IN a
box with many smiles and triumphant
mods.
Sarah would be grievousIy hurt if
she could not keep step too in the good
| work" said Mrs. B., when she had
gone out.
These very different ideas of keep
ing step" interested me. l followed the
fortunes of the two families.
As the years went on the father In
the first one died, and the girls, with
| expensive tastes and sOrdid ambitions,
were thrown upon the world, almost
penniIess. They had learned no art,
/ science or craft thoroughly. They
! opened q boarding house, and are still
/ hanging on the outskirts Of a fashion
/ able circle, bOasting of intimacy with
| people who care nothing for them and
/ fancying vainly that they are keeping
! up with the procession"
The children in the second family
| also have scattered. Some are married
others are earning their own living
none are wealthy. But wherever you
meet one of them, you find an earnest
cheerful, friendly man or woman, who
is intent on making the world better
and happier and who expects you an6
everybody else to keep step in thai
| work.
Not boy OF. girl or young man o.
woman who reads these lines is walk
ing alone. Each is striving to keel
step with some leader, to march t.
some goal. What is the goal? Who L

Butler and Randall.

A group of Congressman were dis
cussing Mr. RandalIs prospects for
complete recovery the other day in one
Of the cloak-rOUms of the House, when
the conversation turned upon the re-
cent conversion" Of the Pennsyl-
vania statesman and his formal recep-
ton by baptism into the membership
of a certain church here.
Just then the well-knOwn figure of
Gen. Benjamin T. Butler passed the
door, 1t reminded some one at once
of an episode in Congress in the famous
deadlock over the civil rights bill, In
which both Randall and Butler were
conspicuous figures
The question Of adjournment was
under consideration, and Gen. Butler
had stepped over to Mr.. RandalPs
desk for a private converse ton. But
Ter favored q Sunday session. Ran
dali opposed 1t.
"Bad as I am, said Randall, Il have
some respect for Gods day, and don't
think it proper to hold a session Of
Congress on that day"
On, pshaW, responded Butler.
doesn't the Bible say that 1t is lawful
to pull your OK or ass out Of a pit on
the Sabbath day? You have seventy
three asses on your side of this House
that I want to get out of a ditch to-
morrow, and I think am engaged in
a holy work"
"Don't do it, Butler" pleaded Ran
dali. Il have some respect for you
that I don't want to lose. I expect
some day to meet you ia a better
world
You'll be there, as you are here, "
retorted Butler, quick as thought, "a

Luxurious Spider.

The New York Ledger tells how a
spider provided for his comfort on the
road. The insect cannot be suspected
Of having taken q hint from Pullman,
but it seems as though some ingenious
person might cOntrive to apply the
spiders plan to the Iessening of human
fatigue while making long journeys.
A doctor desired 10 send a fine speci-
men of the spider tribe to a medical
friend who was exceedingly curious in
the study Of such matters. As the
rea.diest means of transit, he inclOsed
It in a common wooden box, and dis
patched the tiny traveller by express.
The box. however, was too r0Omy for
the spiders wants, and as he seems to
have disliked the jOlting incident to
travelling, he had recourse to a very In
Cenious remedy.
When the box reached its destination
and the consignee opened 1t, he was
equally surprised and delighted to find
that his insect charge had spun for
himself superb hammock. securely
hung from the four corners of his
prison house, IN which he had couehed,
in saiIor-fashion, as softly as he does ~
his native lair.

Married in a TYinkling.

Justice Blackwell is a hustler when
the occasion warrants it. He had Just
adjourned court yesterday for the pur-
pose of beating a man out of a cigar at
poker dice when a couple entered who
wished to get married. Their names
were S. r. Patten and Ollie Corners,
and they stood anxiOusly awaiting the
performance of the ceremony The man
who wanted to shake for the cigars was
In a hurry, and started to leave.
Hold on minute" called out the
Justice to the departing citizen. Then
turning to the candidates he fired the
following questions at them: "DO you
take this woman to be your wife p
Il do, said Sam. "DO you take this
man to be your husband % Il reckon. .
said Ollie. "Then I pronounce you man
and wife
The ceremony occupied just two
/ seconds by the watch and the Justice

smokes and was back into his Office to
/ collect his fee before the couple had
sufficiently recovered to realize that
they were married. Memphis AUG-

ACCoRDING to the Chicago Journal,
a lady customer in a hardware store
rejected four or five pairs Of shears be-
cause they squeaked. She was finally
suited with pair that didn't squeak,
and went her way. As the accepted pair
happened to be one of those first re-
fused, the salesman was asked how the
metamorphosis was effected. "That, +"
said he. "is one Of the very simplest
secrets of the man who sells shears.
Observe this" He picked up a pair
: of scissors which "squeaked" woefulIy
when worked. Then he ran his finger
thoughtfully down the side of his nose
and rubbed them over the scissors,
which came together as gently and
noiseIessly as though saturated with
oil. There is always a little oil col

customer complains that pair OF
shears squeak they can be oiled uE

Of the Century Magazine that Mr..
Glider Is most popular.
Henry M. Alden, the successful ed
itOr of HGTpeT'S Magazine, lives at
Metuchen, n. J., where he has a fine
house, with woods and fields about
him. Here he has collected a number
of art treasures, valuable books, and
all that sort of bric-a-brac with which
a cultivated man likes to indulge him
self. Here he brings the hundreds
upon hundreds of manuscripts which
are constantly pouring in from all parts
of the globe. He reads and prOnOunces
upon all matter for the magazine,
sometimes comforting with another per
son upon q manuscript which he may
not be sure about. Mr.. Alden is genial,
but like the other Harpers' editors he
has no room to entertain callers at his
Office. There is barely room for him
self, his desk, and his manuscripts.
John Foord, editor Of Harper
Weekly, combines with the best lit
eTary tastes a quality but too rare
among literary men, namely, thor
Ough journalistic sense. Mr.. FOOrd is
a ScOtchman and a member of a very
old and aristOcTatic family.
