Adventure with a Horse Thief.

DR., Hunter. of Hampton, had an ad-
venture the other evening that he don't
quite understand. He had a late call out
in the country. and when between the
JEFF Davis place and Warmers crossing
he was sccosted by man on horseback,
who wsnted to swap horses at once.
The doctor told him that he wasn't in
that kind of business, whereupon the
fellow asked him to stop while and talk
it over. The doctor didn't like the looks
of the man and started up his horse,
when the fellow demanded ride. The
demand wasn't needed, and with volley
of oaths he started in hot pursuit Of the
doctor, who has good horse and soon
distarced his pursuer. When the doctor
returned some hours later he was chased
by the same fellow in about the same
place.
1t is not known what the mans object
was, but it is generally supposed that he
had stolen the horse and was trying 10
rid himself of it. DR.. Hunter, of course,
couldn't see the man plainly. BIT he was
large and had a good horse.

little pair of shoes on his fingers, "why

for ten cents. Look there, and there"
He showed broken place in the side of
each little red shoe that had been worn so
long they bore the exact shape otthe little

took down bundle from the shelves and
not urgently opened it. "All the clothes

Ivory Buttons.

In the earlier stages of its use vegetable
ivory was principally known in the shape
of ornaments of various kinds. If you
will remember, some years ago it was ex-
tensively handled by train men and street
fakirs. who peddled baskets full of little
trinkets made from the ivory nut. At
present practically the whole product of
the ivory nut goes into buttons.
One of the peculiar features of the ma
terial in relation to buttons is its suscep-
tibility to coloring matter 1t can be col
ored anything that is desired by the manu-
facturers. You will notice that the arts
tic tailor makes use of this to great advan-
tage in his adaptation of buttons to gar
ments. In the Scotch tweed suits of light
and notified texture, or garments of any
color whatever where a solid button is
used, one in perfect harmony with the ma
terial may be selected. The varieties in
shape and color are almost countless.-In-

A Mighty Good Guess.

DIR. Mayo, the author of 'Kaloolah,"
tells the following story: Some years ago
he was acting as surgeon on board the
United States ship of war Cyane. The YES
sci was in midocean, when a craft in full
sail, but so low down the horizon as to be
scarcely visible with the naked eye, was
discovered. Trying &c make out the
stranger with his spygiass the captain
said:
81 wonder what that vessel can be-"
DIR. Mayo, who was one of a group of
officers about the captain, spoke up and
said
'Oh. that's the Josiah Quincy, of Bos-
ton"
The captain turned, looked at the doctor
in an astonished sort of way and then pro-
ceeded once more to gaze through his spy
glass, while the others went below to the
wardroom.
81 say, DOCTOR" said senior lieutenant,
you'll find it's a mistake to guy our COM
mander. He has no more notion of humor
than billy goat, and he doesn't approve
of jokes"
DIR. Mayo only smiled, but he felt little
nervous about it himself, for, of course, he
no more knew the name of the vessel
| sighted than he did that of the man in the
| moon.
An hour later the stranger was ap-
| preached almost within hailing distance.
She was bark rugged and evidently loaded
| heavily with some kind of merchandise.
But as the Cyane passed her she went off
on fresh tack and the captain could read
her name through his glass on her stern.
1t was "Josiah Quincy, of Boston"
Great blazesf' exclaimed the aston
ished commander Then, turning to the
doctor, he said, How on earth could you
| knows"
Merely by the cut of her jib, sir" re-
piled DR.. Mayo calmly, and he didn't even
admit in the wardroom that his guess had
been merely the first name that came into
his mind. Since that time he has firmly
believed that nothing is too strange to be
referred to as MISUNDERSTANDING

An Illustration of Spanish Cruelty 600
Years Ago.


HERMosILLA, n. NJ, Nov. 10.-A strange
discovery has been made here which
shows that a most horrible murder has
been committed at some period long past
One of the Oldest places in the town is
large adobe house on the southern out
skirts, which is said to be the oldest
in the territory. This house was built by
the Spaniards when they first came to
this country and has been added to and
taken from until only small part of the
original building remains.
A Mans skeleton Found.
This portion was very solid as to the
walls Finally it was determined to re-
move it. As the workmen proceeded they
discovered that one part of the wall was
not solid, and shortly afterward they
broke into cavity, which contained the
skeleton of a man. An investigation
showed that so ne man hal been chained
to the wall and left to die of hunger and
thirst On the wall near the staple where
the chain was attached were scratched the
words manuel del Murillos," which is
supposed to have been the name of the
unfortunate who was left to die. There is
no possible means of determining how
long the body had been there, but it must
have been there fully 200 years.
