"Well, sir, after that part Of the

lid down over Pete and histed him up

Steadied him and the gang laid hold
of the rope. George Peoples was

died the coffin playing, we won't go

twice on the way to brace, and we
made the last mile in something like
five minutes. Talk about your steam

"When we got to the grave we
found that Tom had built a hole
seven feet deep and just the size Of
the box. Had to plant him stand
ing up, but that don't hurt him any.
Lounsberry started up, 'Good-by,
sweetheart, and Mclean read a poem
about boy on ship that wouldn't
60 home for fear his dad would warm
him. Jim Emmons started on a
prayer, and then things grew lively
We didn't want no airs over the
funeral, and we told him he could
lay no political pipe in that way.
But he allowed he'd cash that prayer
in or Uhere'd be row. That settled
it," and the Dakota man paused.

one of the listeners

Dakota man, simply. 'Leastwise, /

SIS this the kind of funerals you
have in Bismarck" asked a mourner.
"The same, stranger. Many one
since then; but I'll never forget Pete.
The coyotes is singing above his
grave now, and in the summer the
little boys shoots jack rabbits near
his plant. We put in few asparagus
to make shade for him; but I'll tell
you, gentlemen, the billiards never
howled over a squarer boy than Pete,
and no man was ever put to root in
better shape than we laid out for that
lad. Let's beer Pm hoarse."
And they liquidated, the mourners
wondering perhaps at the Spirited"

He wore meat and hair all the year

q hole to put Pete in. Everything
was in gay shape for business and the

To Choose A Husband.

Dickens tells the following story
Of an American sea captain: ''On
his last voyage home the captain
had on board a young lady of re-
personal attractions u
phrase | use as one being entirely
new, and one you never met with in
the newspapers. This young lady
was beloved intensely by five young
gentlemen passengers, and i'll re-
turn she was in love with them all
very ardently, but without any par
ticular preference for either. Not
knowing how to make up her de-
termination in this dilemma, she
consulted my friend the captain.
The captain being a man of an
original turn of mind, says to the
young lady, Jump overheard, and
marry the man that jumps after
you The young lady, struck with
the idea, and being naturally fond
of bathing, especially i'll warm
weather, as it then was, took the
advice of the captain, who had a
boat manned in case of accident.
Accordingly, next morning, the
five lovers being OH deck, and look
ing devotedly at the young lady,
she plunged into the sea, head fore
most. Four of the lovers immcdi-
ately jumped in after her. When
the young lady and her four lovers
were gotten out again, she says to
the captain, what am to do with
them now, they are so wetP' Says
the captain, Take the dry one!
And the young lady did, and she
married HIM"

We got the Idea from Pompeii

Few people are aware that we are
indebted to the people Of old POM
peii, who were all smothered in the
first century of the Christian era,
for one of the most important i'll
dustries of our time the canning
business. Years ago, when the first
excavations were made in that buried
city, an American came upon several
jars of figs. When they were OPEN
ed, the contents were found to be as
fresh and palatable as when they
were put up eighteen centuries be-
fore. Investigations instituted up
OH the spot proved that the fruit
had been put into jars in highly
heated state, and that an aperture
for the escape of steam had been
left in the lid, which, when it had
served its purpose, was sealed over
with wax. Yankee ingenuity
caught the idea at once, and the
next year canning factories were
erected all over the United States.

They Cannot Let Go.

The mechanism of the leg and
foot of chicken or other bird that
roosts on limb is "a marvel of de-
sign. 1t often seems strange that
a bird will sit OH roost and sleep
all night without falling off, but
the explanation is perfectly simple.
The tendon of the leg Of a bird that
roosts is so arranged that when the
leg is bent at the knee the claws are
bound to contract, and thus hold
with sort of death grip the limb
round which they are placed. Put
a chickens feet OH your wrist and
then make the bird sit down and
you will have practical illustration
on your skin that you will remem-
ber for some time. BY this singular
arrangement, seen only in such
birds as roost, they will rest COM
fortably and never think of holding
on, for it is impossible for them to
let go till they stand up.-Globe
