what Allied the Country.

/ One night at a little mountain
town in Kentucky was seated on
the front porch of the tavern waiting
/ for bedtime to come along, when a
tall, strappng fellow lounged through
the Office and dropped into chair
beside me.
Stranger in these partsG" he said
inquiringly
"A little somewhat so, / replied,
glad of chance to talk to somebody,
though I've been over section of
it in the last month"
"What do you think of itT'
well, it might be worse.
Yes. s'pose So but I've studied
up some and don't see exactly how"
'Oh, it isn't all bad. said encour-
agingly.
II reckon not, he replied in half
hearted way. II never heard any
body say anything against the model
character of our mountains; our
trees would stand well in any com
munity; the Cumberland river is
clean, and our COWS are as rule
peaeeable and well disposed. =
The mans answer surprised me
not a little. l had not heard any ma
tive talk quite as he did, and was
interested.
DO you belong here2" I inquired.
Yes. Mover lived anywhere else.

Not much, he replied with ON

Initiating Color Blindness.

One can sometimes initiate the eff
fects of color blindness through over
fatigue of the eye. Thus Mr.. Brett,
the English painter, told the mem
bers of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety that in painting scarlet ge-
ranium, after working at it for a
quarter of an hour, the artist will
not know that it is scarlet at all, but
will go on painting it as if it.were
black or colorless. Red" he ex-
planned, sis very irritant color to
the retina," and he added that "you
can look at green until all is blue. y

Plenty of Diamonds in India.

Although the diamond fields in In
diaare the most extensive known, and
the majority of the great diamonds
of the world are from these fields,
yet no continued attempt has been
made by Europeans to work them on
a large scale. Many reasons may be
assigned for this seeming want of
enterprise on the part of the British.

Tho Most Valuable slamns.

The value of stamp depends of
course upon it's rarity and condition.
Perhaps the rarest stamp ia exis-.
tence is the two cent blue of 1856
British Guiana issue, which is worth
considerably more than fifty pounds.
OF these stamps it is said that the
only known specimens were in the
possession of the late Mr.. T. K. Tap
ling, a one time member of parlia-
ment and one Of the first of scien-
tific stamp collectors; another in the
keeping Of q Birmingham enthusiast; ;
still another III the possession of
Herr Won Ferrari, fourth being the
property of a gentleman in France.
Other valuable stamps, which per-
haps possess more interest to the col
lector than most varieties, are the
penny and two penny stamps of the
first issues Of Mauritius, Inscribed
''Postoffice. The last pair that was
sold fetched 9240 and the specimens
were unobliterated. So far as is
known only seven pairs of these
stamps are in existence. These are.
or were, in the possession of Herr
Won Ferrari and collector at Bor-
deaux, who have each an unused
and a used pair in their collections;
Baron Arthur de Rothschild and DIR.
Legrand of Paris have each pair,

issue in England in 1887 were a pair

came acquainted with De Mores in
Denver in the month of May. He
was a very polite man, but rather
inclined to be ofish, as we say in the
west. About a month after that
met him at 'Barlow's ranch, about
twenty-five miles from CHEYENNE.
He was mounted on vicious bron-
cho, and appeared to have a good
deal of trouble to keep his seat
"A couple of cowboys were whoop-
ing and hewling in front of Barlow's
shanty when the marquis drove UP.
Their ponies were tethered and they
were running foot races, and for no
reason on earth yelling like Co
manches in a war dance. Thev be-

kept on talking to me. Finding he
could. not be provoked that way one
cowboy, nicknamed 'Broadback Nor
ris, because Of his unusually broad
shoulders, began to show the French
man how to ride.
His companion followed his exam
pie, and in couple of minutes they
were circling around the marquis

Using the, most insulting language.
Whether the marquis understood
what they meant l don't know. At
all events, he rolled cigarette and
lighted it. Drop that, you tender

mustang with jerk; drop that, OF
I'll clip it out of your mouth. At the
same moment he lifted his Winches

saddle, took a deep inspiration and
blew out cloud of smoke. AS il

was sent flying in fragments. Be

happened De Mores had drawn his
long barreled French revolver from
his belt and pulled the trigger. The
Winchester dropped out of Morris
hands. He had been shot through
both wrists The howl he let out
could have been heard a quarter of 6
mile. The other cowboy was then
on De MOres' flank. AS soon as he
saw him pull his gun he grabbed his
rifle, but had not time to raise it be-
fore the marquis fired a second time,
just as his broncho gave lunge and

HE WAS HYPNOTIZED.

At the trial of Edward l.. Liver.
nash, arraigned at Santa Rosa, Cal,
for murder, a startling scene was
witnessed in court of the prisoner be
ing subjected to hypnotic Influences
and while in napa, giving ubstan-
tial story Of why he killed his VIC
tim, who was an old man of the
name of Ethride, His story was a
wild rhapsody on plans and plots,
betraying numerous symptoms of in
sanity. He related, with all the cir
cumstances and detail possible, but
with occasional dashes of lunacy,
how he had gone about to kill Eth
ridge. The prisoner was awakened
after giving his testimony by DR..
Gardner, superintendent OF the
Napa Insane Asylum, who called
him to his proper self by demanding
that he should awake when the ply
stefan had counted zone, two, three"
While in the trance needles were
inserted in his flesh, of which he
took no notice In his unnatural
condition he appeared to be ramb-
bling, chattering creature. When
relieved he became again a rational
man.

Never torsake friend. When
enemies gather around, when sick
ness tails upon the heart, when all
the world is dark and cherries, is
the time to try true friendship. The
heart that has been touched with
true gold will redouble its efforts
when the friend is sad and in trouble.
Adversely tries true friendship.
They who run from the scene of dis
tress betray their Hypocrisy and
prove that interest only moves them.
If you have friend who has studied
your interest and happiness, be sure
to sustain him in adversely. Let
him know that his formed kindness
is appreciated and that his love was
not thrown away.

had gone straight In, and b. some
strange chance ne first thing that met
NV eyes was Elaine's pistol. took II
rs. and. examining II carelessly, found
It loaded. Slipping II into the pocket Of
my overcoat, ! went out again, and,
diminishing the brouehAm in which ] had
come straight from . dinner-party,
walked on with Hall hope Of overtak-
dng the sisters before they reached home.
Afteruard changed my mind, believing
II would Be hopeless quest, and, turn
ine on the road, took . short cut back
through the public gardens. They were
naturally almost deserted q that hour;
but met : few people, none however
whom knew. II was : fine night. but
rather high wind vas blowing, and
every now and then the tails Of my light
overcoat- weighted BY Elaine,s pistol
were blown against my legs. took out
the pistol and carried II In my hand.
Suddenly, as walked along quietly,
! saw through the trees two figures that
the moonlight made clear One was
Ada; recognized her at once by her
white frock and big straw hat--for she
was very fond Of white, and had come
out In summer clothing before any one
else. Who the other was could not
guess, and Jealous instinct made me go
nearer to discover. Close rs / advanced
toward them, they never heard, never
saw me, SO deeply were they interested
in each other and IL was struck dumb
and motionless. The woman who had
lain upon my breast, whose lips Of her
own accord had pressed my own, was
bewailing her hard lot to this her former
lover She was marrying mo for my
money, because she could not face the
evils Of poverty no, not even with him.
He spoke earnestly, kneeling at her feet
and suing with almost unmanly humility
for the promise that ives already pertured
once. But she was firm though very
child In manner, Ada could be obstinate
enough where her own welfare was con-
cerned. Sbe wept, and again and again
assured himetha she could never love
another but she would marry me.
