ONE OF HE MEAnEsr MEN.

ssSsyl' an acquaintance called out 60 me, "you talk about your mean tricks and your cruel practical jokes--I've just had one played on me that's the meanest and the cruel est that 6 man ever thought of. .'
 "What was itl" inquired.
 sI'll tell you. IL was like this. l goes into sue Yellingt this noon to lunch. Just as am sitting down in comes Jack Austin. You know Jack? He's the closest old skintiint in six counties. Well, he sits down at my table and says he'll tell me 8 funny story. I size it up that he's getting into me for the lunch, but says nothing, for l know there's no help for it, see? I only have about $3.50 in my clothes, see? I let him order first, and he goes and orders woodcock and things like that up to S3 25. This kind of freezes me, and so tell him I'm feeling sick of all 8 sud- den, and all I want is cup of coffee and some crackers. That costs a quarter and makes the bill up to the limit of my pile, seeP We'll, we eat our lunch, and Jack tells two or three funny stories, and pretty soon the waiter comes around and makes out two checks with total of $3. .50.
 'iIere?' says Ja,k to me, give me your check. I'll pay for the lunch.
 "Now, call that one of the mort dastardly of practical jokes. If had suspected that he was going to do anything like that I would have eaten about SC worth. As it was I nearly starved. The worst of it was Le saw through it all, and it tickled him immensely. ."--Chicago Post.

She put it very graphically: 1t was personal death was struggling witb,' she said, mot the abstract death that we read of in the newspapers, nor the future ong.to-be postponed mor- tality which we more or less indif- fercntly accept as our common des- tiny. It was the actual end of my lie, the finis of everything for me, and the going out from my home and friends to the darkness and hor- TOT of the unknown beyond.

WHAT PEARLS ARE.
All Kinds of Precious Stones Are Injured
 by Fire.

by Fire.
 Pearls are carbonate of lime, the same substance of which the shell of the oyster is composed, and are identical with the 'mother of pearl, !" which forms the interior of the pearl oyster shell. A high temperature will reduce any pearl 10 common lime, and in the heat of an ordinary fire a pearl will completely lose its identity and become pinch of white powder. All pre- cious stones are injured by 8 high temperature; the diamond, be- ing almost pure carbon, is completely consumed st a temperature some what greater than white heat. Wben the Southern hotel was burned in this city some years ago, lady guest left her diamonds in her room. As the gems were large and valuable, careful search was made for them af- ter the ruins had cooled, and they were found, but the intense heat had covered every stone with white crust where partial combustion had taken place. Rubies, sapphires and emeralds lose their color on exposure to heat, while the semi precious stones, such as the amethyst, topaz and garnet, are completely ruined by a comparatively low heat.--St. Louis | Globe Democrat.

 ant thing to see on a rainy day.
 She got into Broadway car at Twenty-sixth street going down
 town. Her tailor made costume
 was natty. A soft hat just showed curly bang, and Tuxedo veil skirted the tip of her delicate nose.
 Slung from her arm she carried a leather bound Boston bag and in
 one hand silver-mounted English umbrella. The car was crowded and the passengers moved up wben a dapper gentleman yielded his place, 80 the girl squeezed into a narrow space, and sat on the edge of the seat at that. Her get-up was gentIemanly, but her pocket was hard to find, just the same. In dragging out her purse she spilled her handkerchief. She and the gentleman opposite bent sim ultaneously to pick it up. Their heads came In contact and the girls hat was punched in and pushed tc one side. She thanked the gentle man for her handkerchief. The jat her hat had got had loosened heI veil.

IN BIG MAUMELLlE
Bfny Williams, wsn-Know Planter
 Loosss His Life
In Trying to Save . Negro Tenant from Drownfng- Both Go Town
 Together

Col. James H. Fletcher, of Roland township, Pulaski county, gives the following particulars of a sad trsgedy that Q cured las Friday near his plantst on: It seems that negro tenant of Billy WilIiams undertook to ford the Big Maumelle. When the mule he was riding reached the middle of the stream it's feet became entangled in some grape vines, and as the water was deep and the current swift the mule was thrown on his side. The negro rider was no doubt injured by the fall, as he relaxed his hold of the mule and drifted out into deep water. His pityirg shrieks for aid were heard by his employer, Mir. Billy Williams, who rushed to the river and, regardless of his own personal safety, plunged into the bubbling, seething roaring cur rent to rescue the negro. He reached the drowning man at critical mo II ent-just as he was sinking for the last time. The drowning negro grasped the outstretched hand of brave Billy Williams and in less time than it takes to re- late it both bodies were at the bot tom of the creek, never to rise again.
 Billy Williams was about 30 years of age, and leaves yourg wife. He was considered one of the very best men in Ro- land township, who by energy, frugslity and industry had accumu- lated handsome property. Just in the prime of life, with ample re- sources to make life pleasure, and surrounded by loving friends and relatives, Billy Williams was called to that other life of which no man knoweth.

DR. PARK ON TRIAL.
A Former Little Fock Physician Charged With Obtaining Money Under False
 Pretences at Hot springs.


 A Hot Springs special of the IS saysi The case Of Dr. Park, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, came up in the circuit court to- day. He was indicted last week on the testimony Of Dr. Keller. It appears that a man named Coleman came from New York with a letter addressed to "Dr. J.. M. Keller, Hot Springs .'' An alleged drummer for Dr. Park met the man at Pine Bluff. The experienced eye of the drum mer saw that Coleman was "sub- ject,'' and he soon pumped" him. Coleman states that the drummer represented that Dr. Il M. Keller was not at the springs, but that his partner, pr. Park, was at home. Coleman was ''steered' against Park. On delivering his letter of introduction, Coleman states that Dr. Park also told him that Dr. J. M. Keller was not in the city and that he, Dr. Park, was the partner of Dr. Keller. He then paid to Dr. Park his fee of Sl00, taking his individual receipt. Letters came directed to Coleman in care of Dr. J. NJ K Her. Dr. Keller dropped postal to as certain whether his patient had ar. rived, and was surprised to learn that he had been here week and had paid to Dr. Park bill. q then ad- vised Coleman,'' said Dr. Keller, "to have his money returned.'' Cole man called on Dr. Park, who re- turned $75, gave his due bill for Sl5 and charged s10 for his services. Dr. Keller then went before the grand jury, and Dr. Park was in- dicted and admitted to $500 bail The other side of the story is, that 8 few months ago there was another Dr. Keller in the city, who occupied the same of- flee with Dr. Park, but his initials were not "J. M." However, he left his sign, "Dr. Keller" swing !, ing to the breeze.
 Coleman states that Dr. Park stated, when the letter was presented, that he was the partner of .'Dr. J. NJ. Keller," and that Dr. J. M Keller was out of town.
 This, Dr. Par k denies.
 Tine case excites considerable in terest among the medical fraternity. Dr. Park is formerly of Little Rock.

Grotesque Procession Led by Doe and Ended by Pickaninny.
 The rest of the herd immediately
 made off in our direction; but instead
 of scattering pell-mell as other wild
 animals would have done under like
 circumstances, these queer denizens
 of queer country fell .nto line and
 departed in regular Indian file, the
 big old doe leading the way and the smallest diminutive pickaninnies
 bringing up the rear. The doe GOV
 cred the ground with tremendous
 leisurely hops, hoIdisg her forepaws before her in mincing way that was very comical. The smaller animals leach an exact, though diminu- tive, counterpart of the leader--foI- lowed in gradually diminishing per spective, every little beggar hopping just little more rapidly than the
 one before him, until the fast flying legs of the last puny fellow at the end of the line were blurred like the spoke of wheel in rapid motion. The effect of this extraordinary pro- cession was, to my unaccustomed eyes, so altogether ludicrous and abs surd that nearly lost my shot in an uE controllable burst of laughter. As it was l might inst as well have had my laugh out to the end, for although let the old doe have both barrels full in the flank as she passed me at twenty yards dis tance, she never faltered in her
 course and had quite disappeared in
 the scrub, with all her numerous progeny at her heels, before I had time to replace the empty cartridges.
 The No. shot, in all probability,
 had little more effect upon her tough
 hide than so many grains of sand. Nevertheless, it might perhaps have brought her down if I had aimed at the head, for one pellet penetrating the brain through the eye would have been sufficient. But the motion was so eccentric and perplexing that this would have been very risky shot, and l preferred the chance of stunning her by direct double charge full on the body, to the almost absolute certainty of missing her alto
 gether by attempting the more diff cult shot. .-Birge Harrison in Scrib- ner's.

 ''How was that?"
 ''Well, you see, was on my way to that city by steamer week in ads vance of our show, when struck a great scheme. bought two dozen empty pop bottles and as many steaks from tue steward. Then 1 got e lot of arsenic from the medical stores and rubbed it into the steaks. I put some of our bills into the bottles, tied steak around each and dropped lem overheard as we entered the harbor.

Nine sharks altogether stood in with the show, but every time one came ashore I got note from every editor in the place, proposing to wriie the thing up, with a snap ca nera cut of the shark, at the regu- lar rates"

A LAKE OF MOLTEN FIRE.
1t is the ratsr of the Largest Volcano il
 the World.

1t is the rater of the Largest Volcano in
 the World.
 The following remarkable account has been cnled from the writings of Joaquin Mill.r, and have reference to the volcano of Mauna Loa, in the Sandwich Islands:
 After visiting the American consul at Honolulu, we started for the volcano, aud after hard, hot climb, reached the edge of precipice over hanging a lake of molten fire. ten miles in circumference and 100 feet below us. This is called by the natives Kilianea, or god of fire. It is the largest active volcano in the world, and is 5000 feet above the sea level. This molten mass went dasbing against the cliffs on the op- posite side with noise like the deep and mighty surges of stormy ocean. Waves of blood-red fiery liquid lava hurled their pillows on an iron-bound hnadland and then rushed up the face of the cliffs to toss their gory spray high in the air. This restless, heav. ing lake of fire boiled and bubbled, never remaining silent for single instant. There is an island on one side of this lake which the fiery waves attack unceasingly, and with relentless fury, as if bent on hurling l it from its base.
 On the other side there was a large cavity into which this burning mass rushed with 8 loud roar. break ing down in it's impeiaous, headlong career the gigantic stalactites that overhuDg the mouth of tbis cavern, aud flingiDg up the liquid material for the formation of new ones. It is terribly grand, magnificently sub lime, but no words can adequately describe such a scene, and no power but that of Omuipotence producs it.
