How : Pretty Girl Got Rid Of the swain's

How Pretty Girl Got Rid Of the Swain's
Annoyance.
One Lewiston girl believes that prayer
meetings are not the place for firta-
| tions and pairing off, says the Evening
Journal. She has known what it is to
expect one Of two young men waiting
at the church door every Sunday night
with the question whether or not he
may go home with her. She had deter
mined to rid herself of both, and prob
ably has She went to the cake walk
in Lyceum hall Saturday night and
during the evening both asked permis-
sion to escort he. home. She said yes
to both. They both waited for her on
the landing, and when she came down
stairs, she smiled and took one of each
young mans arms.
At first they hesitated a little, but
then went down the last fight of stairs
at a jerlzy gait. At the foot Of the stairs
they both let go her arm and walked
up Lisbon street looking ugly at each
other. She entertained them both with
lively stories of the evenings entertain
ment. Each thought that the other
| would drop off at the head of the
street and he would go home with the
pretty girl; but no, they both went on
up Main street, wishing in their inmost
hearts that they were out Of it. What
fool the other fellow was! Why didn't
he leave?
In the meantime they went past cor.
Der after corner where each thought
surely the other would say good night.
for had not the girl said he might &c
home with her? So on they went until
the gate was reached and, with pret'
ty thought about the effect of the moon
on dry leaves in the gutter, she asked
them both in. They both said it was
late and looked nervous. ''Can't you
both come up and see me Thursday
EVENING"" she asked. Mamma would
be pleased to meet you"
One said he had an engagement at the
store that night and the other said he
was going out of town Thursday. Afte,
a moment, during which each thought
it time for the other to move on, the
young lady said good night and went
up the steps. No one annoyed her Sun
day night when she came out of prayer
meeting.

GEN. GRANTS WAR CRY.
How Stranger Won q Salute from the
Silent Warrior.

How Stranger Won Salute from the
Silent Warrior.
When Gen. Grant was making his
country, ys the Chicago Times, he ar
rived in the course of time at Aurora.
e A deputation of citizens was at the de-
pot to meet the train. One of them, a
Scotchnan named Bruce, who is now a
prominent retired merchant tailor in
Aurora, offered to bet that he would
make Gen. Grant take off his hat to
him. The bet was taken right and left,
and Bruce put up his money like 81 royal
duke. When the train arrived the pres
ident was on the end of the platform of
his car surrounded by his intimate Of
fetal and personal friends. The crowd
cheered and the general stood and
bowed and smiled all round. Suddenly
Mr.. Bruce broke his way through the
crowd and faced the president, shout
ing at the same time in stentorian
voice: "Stand fast Graigellachie!" For
an instant, just for an instant, Gen.
Grant looked puzzled, and then he made
a salute and stood with his hat uplifted,
afterwards shaking Mr.. Bruce's hand
warmly.
Of course Bruce won his bets and no
body knew the secret until he explained
that it used to be the custom for every
Grant, when he heard the battle cry Of
his clan, to doH his cap and remain
standing until the salute was returned.
The incident showed that Gen. Grant
was fully conversant with the customs
of the famous Scotch Highland clan to
which his family must have originally

No Timepieces in Liberia.

Explorer Buttikoffer says that a cloek
is rarely seen in the farmhouses Of Ii
IBERIA, and many of the town residents
have no timepiece of any sort. He adds
that there are few civilized countries
where a timepiece can be dispensed
with so conveniently. The sun rises at
six a. M. and sets at six p. m. almost to
the minute the year round, and at noon
it is vertically overhead. Many of the
people become so expert in telling time
by the sun that they are rarely more
than quarter of an hour out of the
way. In place of alarm clocks they de.
pend upon the growing chanticleer to
arouse them in the morning.

TN Il ass Vi N BIRD. ss
August OsthoH, Of Frankfort road,
has g pointer dog that a few weeks ago
he valued at two hundred dollars at
least, says the Philadelphia Record.
To-day it would take one thousand dol
lars and more to win the animal. And
the reason for this jump in value is not
far to seek.
A few days ago Mr.. Osthof was
bound out of the city on the North
Pennsylvania railroad for a cunning
trip, accompanied, as usual, by his dog.
He was sitting by an open window in
the smoking car, while Count Beaufort
crouched calmly at his feet against the
side of the car. As the train started
away from Edgehin station the sports
man leaned forward to talk to some
friends in the seat ahead. The speed of
the cars was increasing fast, when
some boys that were shooting black
birds in a field near by discharged a
gun. Count started up and put his
paws upon the windowsill. Mr.. Osthoff's IS
friends saw the dogs intent eye and
ear and one of them for fun said: 'Go
fetch it.
Count knew what that meant. In an
instant, before his master or friend
could move a muscle, he gave a spring,
and while the train whistled along at a
twenty y-fve-mile-an-hour gait went fly
ing out of the window.
Mr.. .OsthoH drew quick breath as he
saw his spendid hunter jump to certain
death. He leaped to his feet and seized
the bell rope to stop the train His
hand was dislodged by the conductor,
who said no dog would be allowed to
interfere with *'schedule.' Osthoff
stormed and fumed and said it was
worth one hundred dollars to him to
get his dog at once. But argument
availed nothing, and he was told tc
wait till the next station was reached,
when he could telegraph back for the
animal.
Itwas mile and half before the
next stop was made, and the sportsman
alighted, expecting to walk back and
find his dogs scattered remains.
He started along the rails and then
stood amazed. Three hundred yards
down the track, like a shooting ray Of
sunshine, something was scudding
in few instants, and there at his feet
painted Count, his tail wagging, and in
his mouth the blackbird that was
brought down by the boy sportsman's s
gun. Count knew his business, and so
does his master now. That dog can't
he boupht for love nor money.

A boy of twelve, who went from New

Brilliancy of the Moon.

The astronomer royal for Scotland
states that when the moon is half full
it's brilliancy is not nearly one-half as
great as when it is quite full. He at
tributes the brightness Of the full moon
to the bright streaks which are then
seen over the lunar surface, starting
from the craters. He supposes these to
be convex or concave, and largely in.
visible under cross lights, and brilliant
" illuminated when the sun shines full
upon them.

a professional face masseuse, says the
New York Times. The caller had ar
rived at a critical part of the operation,
when the face having been thoroughly
washed in water as hot as could be
borne to open the pores and get the
skin in the most piable condition, the
rubbing or smoothing process had be"

fingers away from all lines the opera

leaving ''rosy tingling,'' according to
the patient, when she had finished this
part of her work. 1t was further ex-
planned to the interested onlool1er that
this was 'Sdry massage" Some mas
seuses use a,soft emollient, but this par
ticular professor preferred to do with
out it save in exceptional cases. The
slight hollows at the temples were next
treated, and later the upper neck be-

first youth is apt sooner to forsa5e.
When the rubbing was over the face

alcohol and subjected to hot vapor

Spotting q Smell.
He was walking along Olive street
the other afternoon, when he suddenly
stopped and shifted the air in all direc-
tions. His nose had found d familiar
odor, and pretty sooD he traced it to a
certain chimney and ascended the
steps of house and rang the bell.
''Excuse me, ma'am," he said to the
woman who came to the door, ''but do
you keep cook?''
Eyes, sir,' she replied as she looked
at him in puzzled way.
SIS she in at the present ti1ne?"
