Early Days in DeadwOOd.

In recalling the memory of the early
DAYS at Deadwood Col. Patrick said:
There will never again be another
Deadwood. From every State and
Territory of the Union thousands
tlocked to the spot, and yet it was the
best-natured crowd ], ever saw. At
one season-it was during the campaign
for County Sheriff. was customary
every day from IL to o'clock to see
from 3, 900 TO 1000 men collected at
one of the street corners. the main
gathering place of the town. A plat
form made of cordwood was perma-
nent fixture of the spot, and behind it
was a blackboard. Every day before
noon somebody assembled the platform
and wrote the names of ten to twenty
persons who would be expected to de-
liver addresses from the rostrum for
the edification of the people. 1t mat
tered not whether a man could speak;
no excuse was received, and if any
victim attempted to escape he was
seized and carried to the spot by main
force. Once there he could advance
any sentiments he liked and was al
ways accorded a respectful hearing I'M
til somebody began to think he had
talked long enough. The first intima-
ton he received of the fact was blow
from behind which sent him headlong
from his perch. He was knocked down
with an empty tea chest which was at

the store to be used upon the next
speaker. The crowd screamed with
laughter at the odd appearance of the

victim was produced. know where

just What Mufti Is.

What does '.mufli'' mean? Is it an
American. an Anglicism. Il Gallicism
or pure undulterated slang? In the
days of spelling and definition bees,
fifteen years ago, it would have been
selected rs Il good word to torture as
pirants for the prizes.
Briefly expressed. mutt. is a military
term largely used in Europe and in less
degree in this country for the use Of
civil dress or plain clothes by regu-
lar military or naval officer entitled to
wear uniforms ut all times, rs was
actually done by officers in the army
or navy of the great nations up to the
close of the last century.
In the present day there seems to be
such burning desire on the part of
officers in the army and navy of the
United States to get rid of the evil
dences of their presumably honorable
calling that the wearing of multi, or
plain clothes, is an almost universal
practice. Whether it is for the good of
the country that the Directing to wear
ing uniforms on the streets. outside of
parades or public professions, is ex-
tending to the non-commissioned
OHceTS anu pTlNaleS OF tue regular SER
vice. is a question that is just now re-
ceiving considerable attention from the
thoughtful citizens.
Turning for moment to the philo-
logical issue involved in the word
multi" it appears that the term is of
Arabic origin, and was adopted into
the Hindoostani tongue to express the
assumption of plain clothes by the
officers in the service of the old East
India Company, which was COM
mercial corporation invested with
military powers. In the original
Arabic ''mufti" indicated person, not
thing, namely. doctor or teacher of
religions or Mohammedan law, which
is its present primary Interpretation in
Turkey. The French speak of an
officer lin mufti'' as zen Pekin,n thus
again recognizing the oriental origin
of the word. The German army uses
''mufti'' to express the assumption of
civilian clothes after being in uniform,
and the Russians recognize the term in
the same SenSe.-Sdn Francisco
Chronicle.

NEVER BETS ON HIS OWN HORSE

They tell good story of man who
has q fondness for fast horses. A year
or two ago he had one that was said to be a
flyer" and marvellous stories were told
about what she had done, and was cap
able of doing. But an intimate friend
noticed that the owner of the wonderful
horse never staked any money on her.
"Why don't you back her for good
round sum if she can do what you claim
she can?" he asked "That would prove
that you had confidence in her but as it
is"
See here. my FRIEND" said the other,
with twinkle in his eye, "dun't you
know me we'll enough to know that I'm
to modest to bet Oh my own nag. especi-
ally when feel sure that she can't come
out ahead?'
When a man knows he can accomplish
what be undertakes he doesn't feel too
modest to say SO. When DR.. Pierce put
his Favorite Prescription before the
public as certain remedy for all female
diseases, with "satisfaction guaranteed
or money refunded" on every bottle of
it, it proved that he had entire conf
dence in the preparation. He felt sure
of its merits, and the testimony of thou
sands of women who have been cured by
it Of weakness" irregularities, and
all the distressing diseases from which
their sex suffers so much, proves that
his faith was we'll founded.

Stanley and Artist Bell.

Mr.. Joseph Bell was an admirable
sketcher. fertile in sugges.ion and
quick ut taking hints and notes. but
somehow he always managed TO irri-
tate Stanley by what may be called
his excessive verboSitv and the mis-
chievouS delight he always took
in endeayoriag to land Stanley on the
horns of some dilemma. For example.
he got him to describe the method of
getting across a deep river. Stanley
explained To him how the porter led
the donkey into the stream. holding
bride and keeping the donkey's head
(Which was alone viSlble) out of the
water with one hand, aHd swimming
vigorously with the other hand. Yes"
said Bell, did the porter carry 2
ritle?" ''Of course" said Stanley.
Yes, said Bell. land in which hand
did he carry the rifle seeing that one
hand is already engaged in guiding
and helping the donkey aud the other
in swimming for dear life?" This was a
sort of fun which Stanley did not ap-
preciate. -Edioard Mdrsi0R ia Scri6ner.

The Ways of Justice.

While at the Post Office in an Ohio
village | heard the report that a muir
derer had been captured, and so | fol-
lowed the crowd to the lcckup to learn
more about it. There | found pris-
oner whose very appearance proved
the professional tramp. He was about
40 years of age, very cool. and he
greeted the charge of murder with a
laugh. In short time he was taken
before Justice of the Peace for ex-
animation. and | found seat in the
crowd. One Look ut the Justice salts
fled me that he realized the awful
gravity of the situation and felt the
foundation stone Of the United States
resting on his broad back.

Brought a Teller to Time.

The autocratic paying teller of .
Nassau street bank had an unpleasant
experience one day last week. A tall
young man with whiskers trimmed as
though they had been laid out by a
landscape gardener hurried up to the
window and presented a check for
$3.50.
please let me have it in" he be-
gan.
Mind your own business" snapped
the red-headed autocrat within. "I'll
give you what is convenient"
The tall young man followed this
advice, took the money handed him
and started away. In moment he re-
turned. You've made mistake" he
said mildly.
Not responsible for any mistakes
after leaving the window" responded
the paying teller sharply.
But you-"
1--WE make no corrections; move
on"
ooh. very WE'LL" said the tall young
man cheerfully, waving bill at the
grating. Il was only going to tell you
you had given me $50 too much. but l
can stand it if you can," he added as
he turned away.
The change that come over the red
headed teller was extraordinary.
Hey there, hold on" he called.
Mind your own business, | shall
suit my own convenience"
But wait moment" called the
teller. growing more and more
agitated, as he hastily unlocked the
window and thrust out his head.
Don't grow excited responded the
overpaid young man soothingly. eve
never make corrections after leaving
the window.
'Oh don't mind that, come back
here" pleaded the head from the win
dow beseechingly.
BY this time the dialogue was at
tracing attention and the tall Young
man stepped up to the teller and said
sharply:
Il have come to you again and
again with checks to be cashed for the
firm, and you are always grumpy. un-
gentlemanly and disobliging. To-day
you thought YOU had underpaid me and
you were going to let me suffer. In
stead of that you gave me $50 too
much. and l have got you just where |
want you. you will apologize for
your meanness and agree to be pleasant
and obliging hereafter you can have
the $50 back, but under no other con-
dition."
Those who listened did not hear what
the paying teller answered. but his
meek tone and the return of the $50
bill ,old sufficiently plain story.-N.
