The landlord of the village tavern
had told Farmer Hicks that he had q
tramp at the barn who wanted work
and would work cheap. and the farmer
vent out to have talk with him.
@Look-a-here, began the agricultur-
ist after some general talk, Eve must
come to fair understanding before we
kin set the price. You are to git up at
4 o'clock in the morning.
"Yes."
And work till I tell you to stop
EYES,"
"You sleep in the barn."
I'm willing"
"You eat in the kitchen"
"All right"
"You are to call me Judge when you
speak to me-"
II will"
You are to call my wife Lady Hicks.
"l'll do that, too"
"Whatever say goes, and that with
out dispute. There must be no talking
back. /"
mo, SIR"
II want to be treated with as much
respect as if 1 was the President HIM
self"
II see."
IF any one is around you are to take
off your hat to me.
Il will"
"Now about the wages. I'll give you
81 per month, half in cash, and half in
store pay"
That's all right"
"And you are to work Sundays and
holidays if I say so. ."
Certainly"
"And you won't be allowed tea, cof-
fee or fresh meat"
Il don't want EN-"
well, that's all think of. Hold on!
Did say 81 per month";"
"Yes."
"Imeant just half of that"
"Very WELL"
"And all store pay"
"All right"
well, I'll call in about two hours,
and you be ready"
I wondered that the tramp yielded
every point SO humbly, and when the
farmer had gone I asked him why he
had done so.
Because I'm tired of life and want a
good place to hang myself in. He's
just the kind of a man I like to make
trouble for"
He laughed as he said 30, and I had
no idea that he was in earnest. Next
morning the farmer came into town with
his team on the run, and as he halted
in front of the inn, he called out:
"Git the Coroner and a jury and a
coffin and come along, for that internal
tramp has hanged himself in the gran
airy with the lines of my Sunday har-
ness" -N. Y. San.

Told by a missionary.

The following is told on the authority
OF well-known Cape Missionary: A
man having sat down on ashelving, low
rock near small fountain to take u
little rest after his hearty drink, fell
asleep; but the heat of the rock soon
disturbed his dreams, when he beheld
a large lion crouching before him, with
its eyes glaring in his face, and within
little more than yard Of his feet. He
was at first STRUCK motionless with ter
ror, but recovering his presence of mind,
he eyed his gun, and began NOV
ing his hand slowly toward it, when
the lion raised its head and gave q
tremendous roar, the same awful warn
ing being repeated whenever the man
attempted to move his hand. The rock
at length became so heated that he
could scarcely bare his naked feet to
touch it. The day passed, and the
night also, but the lion never moved
from the spot; the sun rose again, and
its intense heat soon rendered his feet
past feeling. At noon the lion rose and
walked to the water, only few yards
distant, looking behind as it went, lest
the man should move, when, seeing him
stretch out his hand to take his gun. ii
turned in rage, and was on the point
of springing upon him. But another
night had passed as the former had
done; and the next day again the lion
went toward the water. but while there
he listened to some noise apparently
from an opposite quarter, and disap-
peared in the bushes. The man now
seized his gun, but on first essaying to
rise he dropped, his ankles being with
out power. At length he made the best
of his way on his hands and knees aud
soon after fell in with another native,
who took him to place Of safety; and,
as the expressed it, with his "toes
roasted He lost his toes and was a
cripple for life.

The Burlington Shows q Serious Failing
or For January.
CHICAGO, March THE statement of
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road Co. for January. compared with
that of the corresponding month of last
year, shows: Gross earnings, 81. 329, S36,
q decrease of S3S7,579; operating eX-
penses, Site, Os1, decrease Of $40. $50.
The net earnings, after allowing for all
expenses and charges except dividends,
show deficit of S177,251, against net
earnings of s1S7.252 in 1890, or de-
crease of 1888, 5O4.
Vice-President Peasley says: ''One
considerable cause of the falling off in
January earnings as compared with last
year was the failure of the corn crop in
1890. The gross earnings from the
transportation of corn from points west
of the Missouri river in the month of
January, 1890, were $4,000, while in
the same month this year from the
same points they were only $4,000.
1t appears that the falling off in rev.
enue was certainly, if not entirely, on
the lines west of the Missouri river.
The statistics compiled by Chairman
Midgely, of the western freight associa-
ton. last week showed that the Bur-
lington road between Chicago and Kan
sas City made much better comparative
showing than any other line between
those points.
