AFRAID OF THUNDER.

Chicago Times
A story of the Hon. Mrs. Napier, the
wife of the English diplomatist, has a
touch of human nature in it. 1t was
ten years ago, and the master of Napier
and his wife were dining at Babelsburg
with the old Emperor William. Just as
sthey arrived at the castle there were
signs of a storm. Knowing Mrs. Ma
piers great horror of thunder and light
ming, the master turned to her and warn
ed her to control her natural nervous
ness if it were possible. Mrs. Napier,
with the most exemplary intentions,
promised everything, and went into din
ner very bravely with the Emperor. Just
as every one was seated there came a
fash and clap, and, forgetting every
thing else, Mrs. Napier clutched the
imperial arm in dire distress and
buried her head on the imperial shoul-
der. 4 sudden remembrance of the sit
uation made her ''let CO." but the En-
peror interrupted her confused apology
with "Do it again, my dear, that eff
fectually broke up the stiffness of that
dinner table.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
A MULE STORY.

A MULE S1bR1-
Atlanta Constitution.
One of the best stories of the year is
told by Jerry Simpson, popularity known
as the Sockless Socrates of Medicine
Lodge. "Out in Kansas" said he,
..there is boy who had taught his mule
70 SQUAT when he touched him on the
flank with his heels, and one day when
he was riding beside an Englishman the
mule sat down on his launches. what :
the matter with your mule?' said the
Enplishman. Why said the boy, hes
a setter; don't you see that rabbit out
there? The Englishman was much as
tonished.
They rode on and the mule squatted
again. "What is he doing .now!' SAID
the Englshman. Hes settin' again,
said the boy. Don't you see that flock
of quail?" By this time the English
man was diving to own the mule. An
animal he could ride that was also a
setter would be priceless to such a Mn
rod as he. He offered to buy the mule,
but the boy didn't want to sell him. FL
nalIv he consented to swap the mule
for the Englishman's fine bay horse and
500 TO boot. The Englishman mount
ed the mule, the boy mounted the horse
and thew rode on together After awhile
they came to creek, and the English
man drew up his feet to keep them from
getting wet. About half way through
the water got so deep that he had to
draw his feet up to the mules flank. AS
soon as the boot heels touched the
mules flank he squatted right in the
middle of the creek. whats the mat
ter with your blarsted mule now?" said
the Englishman. 81 told you he was a
setter, and he's just as good for suckers
as for anything else"

STORY.
Chicago Herald.
a well known Chicago physician re-
turned from little visit to relatives in
the interior of the State last week. He
had been carried beyond his destination
once before, so when he boarded the car
in the evening he called the porter to
him as soon as that dignitary's attention
could be attracted, and held the follow
ing conversation with him:
"John, here's a dollar for you"
"Yes. san
"And I'm going to get off at Rock
ford tonight" continued the Doctor.
"Yes, sab" said John.
"That means | don't want to be car
ried through to Dubuque"
"Yes, sah."
$50, if you can't wake me up in time
to dress, want you to see that you get
me off any way, no matter what hap
pens"
.Yes, sah," and they parted.
In due season the Doctor went to his
berth with a feeling of blessed security.
About dayhreak he was awakened by
hearing a feminine voice from the section
Just across, say:
Porter, are we in Dubuque yet?"
Nom, we amt dab yit," he answer
ed, huskily, ''hut we'll be dab in half n
'ourn
Thoroughly aroused and very angry,
the Chicago man threw the curtains
apart and saw the porter grinning feebly
with his collar torn, his nose slit down
the middle and evident contusions about
each of his eyes.
"Here, you black rascal shouted the
aggrieved traveller, "didn't tell you
to get me off at RockfOrd?"
Lord bless NAH soul, mistah," said
the sable brother, jumping, sis you de
man dat was going to git off at Rock
ford?" Then adding, renectively, rs he
felt of torn ear, II wonder who de
man was dat put off at ROckford?'

Phil. Germans House Burned.

Saturday evening, at II O'Clock, a
blaze was seen issuing from the roof
Of Phil Germans residence, near the
river, on the fiat south OF Oak street,
and an alarm was promptly given.
In very short time the whole roof
was ablaze, and although the chemi-
cal arrived promptly on the ground,
it was necessary to use that engine
for saving the Frank Houde house,
which stood only few feet from the
burning building, and towards
which the wind was blowing.
Mr.. Houde's house was preserved by
the chemical until the hose compan-
les could get on a stream, when the
fire In the German building was
quickly subdued. The hose compan-
les had to- run hose from Medved's
corner, and about 1900 feet was
stretched In one line. The pressure
was excellent, and the contents of
the lower story of the building, SUI
fered little loss except from water.
The department did excellent work,
and the early arrival of the chemical
again demonstrates the value of that
machine in the early stages. The
promptness with which it arrives at
a fire and begins work, is it's strong
feature. The building and contents
were insured for $500.
