SHE WANTED CHEESE.

Bishop Granbery Tells of woman's Ad.
venture Through Using the Wrong Word.
Bishop Granbery, of the Methodist
church, south, who for many years was
stationed III the empire of Brazil, in the
days Of Dom Pedro, recently related tc
a friend in this city some of the woes OF
a missionary to foreign lands that usu-
ally do not become public or get into the
newspapers. They were the domestic
life and trials of the missionary and his
wife in lands with which all their habits
and trainings are not in accord. One ot
these stories illustrates how the good
missionary wrestles with the unaccus-
to'rA | languages of the countries to
wl4lh he goes-and gets thrown.
The bishops friend. the Rev. Mr..
Blank, had been missionary in Brazil
for some years with the bishop, and both
spoke Spanish, or the Brazilian Spanish
like natives. But they both foresaw,
with some amusement, that there was
going to be trouble on the score of the
language when the Rev. Mr.. Blank in
formed the bishop that he was coming
home to the United States and get
his bride and take her back to Brazil
But the bride, anticipating the trouble,
studied the Spanish diligently, and for
time there was some hesitation and
embarrassment, but no trouble Think
ing she was getting along famously, she
soon gained more confidence
So all went well till the young couple
set up an establishment and secured a
man servant with the fine manners of q
Spanish grandee. The reverend gentle
mans wife stood in awe of him from the
start. And her greatest trial was when
her husband would be detained from
home during the dinner hour, when she
had to dine alone, except for that grand
man servant. One day that functionary
was standing elegant and impressive,
when she had occasion to ask him to
hand her the cheese. The man stood
immovable like lay figure in clothing
house, but she noticed curious twitch-
ing of his mouth. She detected that he
had heard her, and she began to get
angry that he didn't move to do her bid
ding
She repeated her command as she
thought! "Giye Inc the cheese" This
time the grandee of man servant per-
ceptibly laughed, but was immovable. In
indignation, supposing him to be imper-
tinent, or worse still, crazy, she rushed
20 the front door 10 call assistance when
she met the belated missionary, her hus-
band, and promptly explained the situs-
tlon.
What did you say, my dear?" was his
smiling query.
"'Give NE the cheese was what
said"
Yes, but the word" he insisted
Il said 'beso." replied the wife, still
puzzled
Then the unfeeling missionary fairly
roared with laughter. His wife had be
gun TO think that he. too. had gone mad.
when he managed TO keep calm long
enough TO explain. II was only mis-
take in the sound Of one letter that sae
had made, but It was a funnily fatal ole
that time. She should have said ''qaeso-
instead of "beso, and instead Of asking
the man servant for the cheese she had
asked him without any qualification for
u kiss. Louisville Times

CHIEE MAYES.

CALDWELL, Kan, August 1S-JOel B.
Mayes, chief of the Cherokee nation, ac-
companied by twenty five prominent
Cherokees, arrived here this evening
What their business is is not definitely
known Chief Mayes refused to give up
any of their plans until tomorrow, when,
he said. meeting would be held with the
cattlemen and then he would submit to an
interview 1t is generally thought that
the cause of this sudden rush is the recent
order of President Harrison, allowing all
Cherokee citizens the privilege of holding
cattle on the strip, and that they are on
the rounds to protect their people and oust
the intruders

mansion. Her father took her TO Geneva
Lake, Wis, and succeeded in breaking up
the acquaintance, and now young Dunni-
want has brought suit against Mr.. Potter
and others for slOO,0 damages for false
imprisonment.
He swears to this curious story: In No
vemoer, 1886, he was induced to accom-
pany one Frank Allen to place in south
Chicago, where confederate, made up TO
look like Dunnivant," stole some clothing.
Dunnivant was convicted of the theft and
served four years in the penitentiary at
hard labor. He alleges that Mr.. Potter
paid Chicago paper $4,000 to suppress
his CDunnivant's) story. IL seems that the
young lady, however, believed in his guilt,
for she took no further interest in him
after his incarceration. Now her engage
ment is announced 70 Mr. Rust. who is
younger than she, and while waiting for
him to reach his majority she is to travel

The nation might never have been formed if
its authors had been moved entirely by senti-
ment, but it is as clear as the fact of Appomat-
fox that it could never have been preserved ex-
cept by a demonstration Of the loftiest sen I'll
msnt No commercial consideration impelled
the men whom the nation celebrates today.
They marched. they suffered, they fell at the
call Of duty. Such thing rs patriotism had
existed for ages on ages before. but not in all
the tide Of time was it more unalloyed than in
the heroes Of '61-'65. Saxon had died for
Saxon autonomy, Dutch burghers for local and
religious liberty. our own fathers for inde-
pendence. The soldiers Of the American Union
persisted in battle or prison that the great re-
public might be preserved. that human free
dom might have perpetual life and civilization
its crown Of glory Republics are proverbially
ungrateful. but may the day be in the remotest
future when the people of the United States
forget the valor. the sufferings, the heroic
death Of the soldiers of the Union!
