when one evening he resolved to kiss
her and told her 50.
You shall do nothing Of the kind. ~
she said with good deal Of asperitv.
But he was not to be frightened out
Of IT,. He reached for her. but she
drew away and Indignantly declared
that il he undertook any such liberties
she would scream. lie didn't believe
she would. so he grabbed her up and
gave her a good. rousing smack.
Sure enough. she screeched like a
steam galliope. and frightened the
young man well-nigh out Of his senses
for he heard the family rushing toward
the parlor- The young lady's mother
was the first TO enter aud the father
came close behind.
What's the matter?r asked the
mother

HOW NJ SECURED MANY ORDERS.
A Little Device That "a travelling Man Has
Put to a Practical Use.

They are cheap affairs pasteboard
tubes so weighted with quicksilver
as to make them roll end over end
when once started on slight incline.
They must cost 80 or 60 cents dozen.
and II scientist or a mechanic or even
lawyer we're asked Of what practical
use they were he would have to give Il
up.
But drummer travelling through
the Northwest has found use lie
walked into a hardware store In a
Northwestern town day or two ago
and wanted to sell the proprietor some
ax-handles.
II can give you better for the money
than any one else he said.
That's what they all say" returned
the proprietor.
But mean it, persisted the drum
mer. why we save all tho cost Of
transporting the wood to the mill, and
that let's us turn 'em out so much the
cheaper"
Float 'em downPn
20, no. That's expensive. Takes a
lot of men to get them to the river and
a lot more to handle them coming
down. We've got better way. We
Just stand log on end like this
illustrating with the pasteboard tube
and give it shove like this, and it just
turns end over end to the mill-and
then it stops leaning up against the
wall. y he added, as tho tube stopped,
inclined al an angle of 40 degrees on
the frame of the showcase. 'Do ! get
your orderP I'll throw in tho model
illustrating our system"
And such is the appreciation of a
gag" that he got the order without
further question.
do you know he said, after the
business was settled. 'that that little
device has secured me eight or ten
orders this trip. II fool man he
almost invariably laughs, gives me an
order, aud starts out to sell some one
else. I'm going to get up another
gag for my next trip-every one will
be onto this one by that time. How
did | get this ideaP Why. it was an
accident. bought the device for
amusement. and when | showed it to
the boss he suggested that if logs would
roll to the mill that way it would be a
great saving Of expense. - Chicago

 Trip Through the Indian Country.
 CHICAGO, May 25.-Captain E. w.. Ewers, Indian agent on Tongue river, ar rived in the city to-day and had an inter view with General Miles over the situa- ton among the Indians that took part in the late Indian war. Captain Ewers has just completed tour of the Indian camps within radius of 200 miles of Tongue River agency and he says that the people now to be feared were not the Indians but cattlemen who want all the land they can grab for their cattle to roam over and will not allow any one else to establish themselves. The cattlemen, the captain said. were the people who stirred up the Indians by stealing their lands and taking advantage of them in every way and the Indians were complaining bitterly of the encroachments of these marauders.

Troop A Rewarded for Its Meritori-
 ous Conduct in the Late Indian
 Campaign-In tho West Since the
 War.
 WASHINGTON, May 25.-Troop A, First United States cavalry, left Custer Station, Mont, last Thursday and has taken pos session of the quarters assigned to it at Fort Meyer, Va, just across the river from this city. The troop consists of three of ficers and ffty-eight men. The officers are Captain Bonus, Lieutenant Lsndis and Lieutenant Traub. Troop A has been stationed at Fort Custer, Mont, since No vember last and comes to Washington as a reward for gallant services, the authori- ties being, however, especially directed to it by one of the marches it made in the last Sioux campaign.
 troop of cavalry was supposed to be surrounded by hostiles and information to that effect was conveyed to General Miles. He at once ordered Troop A to the rescue, and in responding to that the troop marched ninety-five miles on one day and fifty-seven miles on the day following One hundred and ffty-two miles in forty eight hours was regarded as good work, for which the war department showed its appreciation by giving Troop A a station in the east. Since the war of the rebellion the troop has never been until now as far east as the Missouri river, having served on the Pacific coast for thirty three years. Troop B, Sixth cavalry, commanded by Baptain Baird, will leave Fort Meyer to- morrow for Fort Washalie Wvo

EXCURSIONISTS IN PERIL. How They Were Pursued by Big
 Efra


 Prairie Fire.
 CHICAGO, May 25.-Between 1000 and 5000 excursionists from this city who went out to Calumet Heights yesterday afternoon were compelled to run for their lives before prairie fire which formed sheet of flame half mile in width. Six teen passenger coaches loaded with seekers of suburban lots went out from the city early in the afternoon, and when all had disembarked at Calumet Heights that suburb presented the aspect of vast pie nic ground. Some boys threw matches into the dead prairie grass and in an in stant the blaze had assumed the dimen- sions of a prairie fire. A brisk north evsterly wind was blowing, and as the blaze started in the southerly part of the plated prairie, the flames spread and ad- vanced with great rapidity. Calumet Heights was thronged with visitors, and | when the flames came rushing towards them stampede followed. Men, women and children jostled one another in theil wild flight from the advancing fire. The scattered dwellings in the vicinity were ir great danger and their occupants, leaving their goods behind, joined in the flight Fortunately the prairie grass had beer mown from the the northern part of thu tract, and the fire, running out of fuel abated before it reached the neighborinl houses. Two police officers were severel. burned while fighting the flames.
