An English traveller in Persia had ar
rived at Abadeh, where European tele-
graph official, Mr.. c., welcomed him
Hospitality and invited him to remain
for the night. He says:
An hour later was comfortably set
tied upon the sofa when my rest was
suddenly disturbed by loud bang at
the sitting room door, which, flying
open, admitted two enormous animals,
which | at first took for dogs.
Both of them made at once for my
sofa, and while the larger one eurled
comfortably around my feet and COM
posed itself to sleep, the smaller one.
evidently of more affectionate DISPOSE
ton, seated itself on the floor and COM
menced licking my face and hands, an
operation which, had dared, should
strongly have resented.
But the white, cleaning teeth and
cruel looking green eyes inspired me
with respect, to use no stronger term;
for rhad by this time discovered that
these domestic pets were panthers! To
my great relief, Mr.. c. entered at
this juncture.
Making friends with the panthers, l
see," he remarked pleasantly. "They
are nice, companionable beasts"
That may have been true at the time
The fact remains, however, that three
months afterward the "affectionate
one" half devoured native child! The
neighborhood of Abadeh, Mr.. G. in
formed me, swarms with these animals.

General Fagler, chief of ordnance, in
his annual report calls attention to the
inadequacy of the general appropriation

was still further reduced.
The annual report of Adjutant- Gen
eral Williams of the army recommends
that the annual appropriations for the
National Guard be increased from $780,

confirmed by the experience OF the past
year.

President Harrison has acted upor
two applications for pardon, granting
them both, for the reason that the pris

is Lee Sing, convicted of perjury in the
United States Court for the Northern
District of New York January 26, 1892
and sentenced to the Albany peniten
tiary for one year. He was charged with
being unlawfully in this country, and al
investigation proved the charges. Hi
pardon was urged by the Superintendent
and physician of the prison and the Dis
trict Attorney. The other is Marshal
Wheeler (colored), convicted in the
United States District Court of Soutl

tail liquor dealer without having paiC

A Bit of Correspondence.

A remarkable correspondence has been
published, ending in true Irish fashion.
1t begins: "Mr. Thompson presents his
compliments to Mr.. Simpson, and begs
to request that he will keep his doggs
from trespassing on his grounds. >
"Mr. Simpson presents his compli-
ments to Mr.. Thompson, and begs to
suggest that in future he should not
spell dogs with two gees.
"Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr..
Simpson, and will feel obliged if he will
add the letter 'e to the last word in the
note just received, so as to represent
Mr.. Simpson and lady"

note unopened, the impertinence it con-
tains being only equaled by its vulgar
ity."-London Tit-Bits,

NO. "A.
A Broom Speculation.

A 9 foot Yankee, seated upon a load OF
brooms, drove his team up before the
door Of an establishment where he ex-
pected TO find a purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place:
Yankee-(an't | sell you load Of
brooms today, mister?
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em-sell 'em dog
cheap
Dealer-Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms
Yankee-I'll tell you what I'll do. II
you'll take the lot I'll let 'em go for one
dollar dozen. You know they're wuth
double that
The dealer stroked his chin for a mo-
ment, as If in deep thought, and then re-
piled:
well, don't want any brooms, as 1
told you, but | don't mind making a
trade with you"
Yankee-What sort Of trade?
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half in
trade.
Yankee-No you don't misterl You'll
charge me such an all fired profit on the
other half that might come out at the
little end of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me.
Yankee-Wall, mister, that's what |
call square dealin. It's bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store.
There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which | calcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dollars?
Yankee-Wall, dunno. You see,
mister, | hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess I'll take brooms.

much talk about it. and that therefore
they may have something else in view.
On the other side there is much talk
of Chicago in spite of the attitude she
assumes. 1t may be that the convention
may be forced upon Chicago in order to
prevent any deal on the fair bill, and to
create dntagonism to it. One of the
leading Cincinnati delegates said today
that his city would certainly get the
convention unless it went. to Chicago.
lie was little afraid of Chicago on ac-
count OF some inside information he
had, but he was confident that Chicago
would not take it unless compelled TO.
In all the talk about the political CEN
tiers Cincinnati has the call. The I'M
certainty as to the desires of the Hill
folks leaves the question wide open.
Milwaukee has undoubtedly damaged
her chances by indiscreet shouts for
Cleveland. This has dampened any
sympathy for the Cream City by the
friends of the other candidates.
A curious thing has developed in con-
nectiOn with the effort to send the con-
vention to indianapolis. 1t seems that
the opposition to Gov. Gray. those who
do not want him to find place on the
national ticket, are the ones who are
trying for the convention. The argu-
ment they are making is that Indiana is
so close that she will have to receive
some consideration from the party, and
that if she does not get the convention
MIR. Gray Will have to be given the nom
lnation for vice president. The nOmi-
nation of Mr.. Gray they consider unde-
sirable. and therefore urge that Indian
apollS should have the convention.
They are particularly anxious to stand

noticeable addition to the attendance on
the convention of the state horticultural
society. The convention was opened
with discussion of the question box.
Committees OH small fruits, grapes, and
grape diseases and insects gave their
reports, followed by, several interesting
articles on these subjects. Among the
best of these were "Small Fruits in
Southwestern Minnesota" by Dewain
Cook, Windom;''A Woman's Experience
With Small Fruits" Mrs. A. B. Under
wood, Lake City; Grape Growing in
Minnesota" by NJ. M. Frisselle, Excel
sior. The general subjects for the
afternoon session were Horticulture
and landscape gardening. Reports
were read by chairmen of committees

plants, native flowers, outdoor and new
Towering plants and ornamental decid-
uous trees and shrubs. "Our Native
Shrubs was well handled by Miss Sara

Small Towns" by Prof. II. w. S. Cleve-
land, Minneapolis. and 1.-The Planting

the park system of Minneapolis, were
ably treated. Progress of Florist Bus

"FIGHTING BOB"
Commander Evans, Disabled, but
on Active Service.

Commander Evans, Disabled, but
on Active Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The spirited
reply of Commander Evans, of the
Yorktown, to the notification of the
CHILEAN minister for foreign affairs
that he had changed his mind in regard
to allowing the refugees to leave Chill
unmolested, had made many persons
curious to know something about that
officer. Commander Evans is called
Fighting Bob" but he is not of the
Acres type. He was appointed to the
navy from Utah as an acting midship-
man in 1860, was made ensign in 1868,
master in 1865, and attained his present
rank in 1878. He is probably the only
officer of the navy in active service who
is permanently disabled. One of his
legs is bent nearly double, the result of
a wound in the knee received during
an engagement in the late war.
The story goes that after Commander
Evans was wounded he was informed
by a surgeon that it would be necessary
to amputate his leg. Evans swore he
would never submit to the operation,
and, according to the account popular
about the navy department, he placed
a revolver to the surgeons head and
threatened to shoot him if any attempt
at amputatiOn was made. The leg was
not amputated, but it was so badly in
jured that it left Commander Evans a
cripple for life. He successfully resist
ed attempts to place him on the retired
list, on account of his disability. and
served for many years OH shore Guty.
Despite his crippled condition, COM
mander Evans is good sailor, and
seems 10 care mere for active service
than for duty on shore. He stands we'll
up near the head of the list of COM
manderS.
