HIS WIFE'S ASHES.
Carried About in an Urn by Drummer in
His Travels.

His Travels.
A commercial Tourist, travelling in the
interest of fancy crockery and glass
ware house arrived at the Palmer House,
Chicago, the other morning with his
large trunk filled with samples, which
he arranged upon the tables in his room.
After completing the work, he took from
his hand satchel a large and handsome
urn, which he placed on the dressing
case. 1t was peculiar looking article,
resembling the designs of ancient times.
He looked at it intently for a few mo-
ments, frowned and turned away, sigh
ing audibly. He went about his samples
with an air of melancholy, and every
time his eyes rested on the mysterious
urn he sighed. Dropping into a large
chair, he buried his face in MS hands and
was silent for some minutes.
At last he was aroused from his rev.
erie by the appearance of one of his old
est customers and friends. His face
frightened an, the two entered into a
brisk conversation. They had talked
upon all subjects, when suddenly the
Chicago man saw the urn of the dressing
case and exclaimed: 'Why, old man
what a peculiar design. What price
have you on that?" The knight of the
gripsack frowned as he replied "That
is one of my personal effects" The Chi
cago man proceeded to examine it.
"Mighty pretty thing. Oh, there are
ashes in here. dare say you use it for
your smoking set" The young man
could not avoid an explanation. "You
see, he said, with some feeling, my wife
requested before she died that [ carry
her ashes with me in my travels. com
piled with her request, and those are the
ashes of mywife." The Chicago man sud-
denly thought of a previous engagement
and left the room uuceremoniously.

HERE is an interesting story of con-
vict.' 1t comes from Salt Ste. Marie.
Mich; About seven years ago Augustus
Bertram of this city was sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary for adult
cry. He made remarkable escape from
prison by climbing in the manner of
Jean Vatican, at the intersection of two
stone walls, and by nearly cltting a
guard to death. Since then he has hv-
ed unmolested under an assumed name
at Bay Mills. The officers were put on
his track recently, and last week he was
brought here to the county jail. Yes
terday She sheriff boarded a steamer with
Bertram to take him to the state prison
to serve out his unexpired term. When
out of the harbor the prisoner asked that
the hand cuffs be taken off, and the sher-
if complied. Although mile and
half from shore Bertram jumped over
board and swan for a time under water,
1t was near dusk and he was given I'D
for drowned, But he reached the shore
and was seen by two persons who knew
him. One of them was an old boatinan
who says he was compelled on pain of
severe clubbing to row the escaped con-
wet over to Canada.

A TENNESSEE girl, educated in fash
ionable female college at Nashville, com
mitted suicide because her father would
not pay his grocery bills. Her high
sense of honor refused to allow her to
consume food that had not not been paid
for to sustain life, and as she had no
other manner of living she decided to
die. If every girl whose father wouldn't
pay his grocery bills should commit sui
eide there would be more funerals in the
country than there has been since the
yellow fever epidemic. Yet it would be
a good thing for the grocery men, if
fathers were brought to understand that
a failure to pay their bills would result
in death in the family. 1t would be
better than black list. 1t might not be
a bad idea for all female colleges to
amend their curriculum, and instill a
debt-paying sentiment in the minds of
their scholars instead of filling them up
with music and French.

LONDON, Sept. FLA sea serpent has
put in an appearance q few miles off the
coast of Aberdeenshirc. The crew of the

lying at anchor yesterday an extraordinary
looking monster, with neck like u
giraffe, a long black name of n 1ibrous.
nature. somewhat resembling split whale
bone, and II skin spotted like Il fancy oil
cloth, suddenly hove It's awful bulk out
of the water quite close to the boat and
placing one of its gigantic paws or tiippers
upon the PROV and the other near the
stern, lifted its head high in the air and
glared down upon the terrified crew.
The head somewhat resembled that Of
an alligator, but was remarkable for III
extremely small size, and was apparently
without teeth. The body was shaped
somewhat like turtle and terminated
in = long, powerful tail edged with great
spines.
The monster seemed to be harmless, but
its weight caused the boat to careen moro
than three feet The crew We're paralyzed
with terror and dropped into the hold, all
but one, more courageous than the rest,
who climbed mp the mast.
After satisfying his curiosity the enor-
