A western Driver Got a Chilli when Hs
Discovered its Loss.


THAT reminds me. . said the colonel
blandly. He Is always being RE-
minded They were talking OF mans
dependence upon things which he Is
accustomed to use. That reminds
me Of Jack Smilcr. Jack was as brave
as a lion. He drove one of the fast
freight specials from Cheyenne TO
Deadwood. 1t was in the first days of:
the Black Hills excitement. when they
ran light express wagons out to Chey-
enne on a gallop aud never stopped
till they pulled up in Deadwood or un-
til the road agents stopped them.
Jack was born with one emotion
lacking. He was not afraid OF the
widest Indian (and there were enough
of them in those days. just before the
Custer massacre). or the most daring
and reckless road agent. They did
not call them highwaymen then. He
used to climb into his seat. crack his
long whip. and, with d wonderful oath.
jerk the heads of those mules In the
direction of Deadwood. aud send them
scurrying along like frightened rab
bits. He always wore a revolver. of
course. the handle forward in his belt,
where his hand might touch it mt a
moments notice. / do not believe
that the road agent lived who could
have stopped Jack Sniler.
II rode up with him on one of his
trips to ranch about thirty-iive miles
from Cheyenne. / got tired of the
seat and climbed back into the box To
stand there to rest riy legs. 1 con-
ceived the idea OF picking Jacks
pocket-that Is, of getting his revolver
away from him. was pretty careful
to prcss one hand heavily upon his
shoulder while with the other slipped
the weapon from his belt. Finally I
got il out safely and waited for him to
discover the loss.
I'VE drove along for five or six
miles. when suddenly Jack pulled up
his mules with a terrible oath.
".WhoaF he cried.
whats the trouble, Jack?'I asked.
He turned to me aud looked into
my eyes. He.was as white as a sheet
I'VE are going straight back to
! Cheyenne he said
..'What's the troubles' I repeated.
"sTrOublef be calculated. and Q
cloud of sulphur arose over us. his elo-
queuce was so emphatic. Troubles
I've lost my six-shooter. and / wouldn't
drive another foot sor $40. 000.'

don't you 60 right on, rs If you had
ONE?

he said. Graciousr he added (.grac-
ious stands for a string of words toe
long for a novice to mention in one
evening), suppose | hadn't discovered
this. Wouldn't have been in 4 pretty
fix? He made very wry face.
Here's your old six-shooter, Jack.
/ said, handing it to him. i wouldn't
have it, II isn't worth keeping
."Go lang therei' shouted Jack
curling his whip lash beautifully and
bringing the end of Il TO sudden stoI
with loud crack. Go lang there.
and we were rolling over the roat
again.

Dance or The Devil.

A fantastic orgy was witnessed at the
town OF fLoongi, the capital of Bullion,
west coast of Africa, by a party of
officers from the West India regiment
ouartered at Sierra Leone. The peo-
pie of Loongi are Mohammedans. but
the dancing devil himself is a relic of
not long departed paganism, and so
also probably is the dance itself. 1t
takes place in the courtyard of the
chiefs premises. which is entered
through a circular hut. The scene
which presents itself to any one COM
ing suddenly out of the darkness iuto
the noise and glare is decidedly uncan-
ny.
In the center of a circle which fills
the courtyard the devil. with an
orthodox tail, great crocodile's head,
and long grass. looking like hair, de-
pending from his body and legs, and
swaying as he moves. leaps. beating
time with his feet to the beat of the
drums, while the women. two deep.
wall a chant and strike their palms to-
gether in slow. rhythmical measure,
those in the front row bowling down be-
tween each beat.
The young men. in long robes and
caps, wall with the women. Both are
under vows. the dance being one OF
their rites. They look dazed to begin
with. but gradually work themselves
into frenzy. and the black faces. the
monotonous wailing cry, the thrum-
ming of the drums, the rattle of the
clackers and the beat of the devils
feet as he springs up, crouches down
and swings about, make a scene to
shock the quiet moon and stars and
gladden. Geheuna.
North of Sierra Leone. Africa. is
Mohammedan. South Pagan and the
Southern people have this devil. When
peace is declared between two native
tribes the peace devil. who is fetish.
comes leaping into the town. but if he
stumbles or falls it is considered bad
omen and he is put to death for his
pains. His dress is sacred, but his
person is of no consequence.

Tattooing a Fair AnkIe.

A handsome daughter of a family
living in the vicinity of Ohio avenue
left home some months ago, ostensibly
on visit to friends IN a distant State.
Her stay was protracted, and in her
letters home she described the good
time she was having in the society of
her lady friends. She returned re-
Gently and the secret of her escapades
would probably never have been di-
vulged had not an accident revealed it.
On the second day after her arrival
her mother had occasion to enter the
young lady's room while she was still
asleep. The fond mothers eye rested
with loving glance on her sleeping
child. Suddenly she uttered scream,
and before the fair sleeper was fully
conscious, clutched the girls foot and
fixed her gaze on the well-turned
ankle. She almost fell into a faint,
for on that shapely member the girls
initials were tattooed in bright red
India ink. 1t is believed that plansi-
BILE explanation was given. but the
secret lies between mother and
daughter and the artist in that distant
State.

4 poosor without 4 diploma.

| have said that there was no regu-
lar physician in California. Later. in
1S43. In company that came from
Oregon. was one Joe Meeks, a noted
character In the Rocky Mountains. On
the way he said, BOYS, when / get
down to California among the Greasers
/ ann going to palm myself off as a
doctor;n and from that time they dub
bed him DIR. Meeks. He could neither
read nor write. As soon as the Cali
fornians heard Of his arrival ut Mon
terey they began to come to him with
their different ailments. His first pro-
fessional service was to boy who had
toe cut of. Meeks, happening to be
near. stuck the toe on. binfling it in q
poultice of mud, and it grew on again.
The new governor. Micheltorena. em-
ployed him as surgeon. Meeks had
way of looking and acting very wise,
and of being reticent when people
talked about things which he did not
understand. One day he went into a
little shop kept by man known as
DIR. Stokes, who had been kind of
hospital steward on board ship, and
who had brought ashore one of those
little medicine chests that were usually
taken to sea. with apothecary scales,
and pamphlet giving short synopsis
of diseases and table of weights and
medicines. so that almost anybody
could administer relief TO sick sailors.
Meeks went to him and said. Doctor,
! want you to put me up some pow
ders.n So Stokes went behind his
table and got ont his scales and medi-
eines. and asked, What kind of pow
ders?n Just common powders
patient not very sick.n If you will
tell me what kind of powders, DR..
Meeks-n ssOh. Just common powders.
That is all he would say. DIR. Stokes
told about town that MeekS knew moth
ing about medicine. but people thought
that perhaps Meeks had given the pre-
scription ia Latin and that DR.. Stokes
could not read it. But Meeksss reign
was to have an end. An American
man-of-war came into the harbor.
Thomas @. Larkin was then the United
States consul at Monterey. and the
commander and all his officers went
up to Larkin's store. among them the
surgeon. who was introduced to DIR.
Meeks. The conversation turning up
on the diseases incident to the coun-
try. Meeks became retieent saying
merely that he was going out of prae-
tice and intended TO leave the country,
because he could not get medicines.
The surgeon expressed much sympathy
and said. ..Dr. Meeks. if You will make
me out a list | will very cheerfully
divide with YOU such medicine as / can
spare . Meeks did not know the
names of three kinds of medicine. and
tried evasion, but the surgeon cornered
him and put the question so direct that
he had to answer. He asked him what
medicine he needed most. Finally
Meeks said he wanted some ..draps.
and that was all that could be got out
of him. When the story came out his
career as a doctor was at an end, al1
he soon after left the eountry.-Geaa-
