AN INDIAN FIGHT.

An old Indian fighter on one occa-
sion was called on to make a state
ment concerning battle to a Con
gressional committee. and he was re
quested to couch it in language in
telligible to the statesmen instead OF
using the vernacular of the plains.
"Nill you be kind enough" said the
Chairman, ito give us an account OF
this tight?'
Course, that's VIVA I'm here for,
he responded. You see our company
of 100 men set in game with about
that many Injuns, and it was our deal
for we had slipped up on 'em. They
stood pat, right from the start, and We
filled and went in at 'em from behind
the rocks on a straight bluff, for we
didn't know how many there WIZ, and
they met us in the open and kivered
our ante, fer they thought they had
us. 1t was hot in thar, shore, anC
both sides was shootin' and slashin'
and yellin' when night settled down
and ended the game"

The BRIDE INSISTED UPON SECOND
CALL ON THE MINISTER.
A few weeks ago hackman had a
call to a Lewiston, Maine, pastors
house in the evening, to carry him to
a meeting at some place or other.
When the hackman reached there he
found another carriage there, and an
impatient driver walking up and down.
The former pulled the bell: was greet
ed by the minister, who soon came
forth in his overcoat and gloves and
stepped into the hack.
Here you," said the waiting hack
man, "what are you taking that min

He was gone an hour and returned

Mr.. PULLMAN'S SANDWICHES.
How a Dining-Car Waiter Found Then
IlluSiye.

A prominent railroad official tells a
good story concerning colored waiter
who is in the employ of the Pullman
company says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The walters are required by the conn
missaries to make given number of
sandwiches out of loaf of bread and
the rule is strictly enforced. On a
recent run 4 waiter named Brown cut
thirty-nine thin sandwiches out of a
loaf and piled them up on shelf near
a window in the buffet. The window
had been left open and while the train
was rounding a curve gust Of wind
came and blew ten of the sandwiches
out of the car. Soon the vigilant COM
miSsary came along to see how the new
man was getting along.
DO them suit you, sah?" proudly
inquired Brown, pointing to the sand
witches.
The cOmmissary cast hasty glance
at the pile of sandwiches near the
window and sized them up in an in
slant.
How much bread did YOU use for
that pile. BROWNE" anNiouslv asked the
commissary.
Only one loaf, sab; you told me to
cut them thin and dey're as thin as
waters sab"
The commissary's suspicious were
aroused by this time and he tenderly
lifted the pile of sandwiches from the
shelf
"Lcmme see" said the commissary,
counting the sandwiches; there are
only tweuty-nine sandwiches here.
Where's the other ten. Brown? Eaten
them, eh?"
The commissary laid the pile down
on the shelf. the train turned around
another curve and out went ten more
sandwiches through the window.
You see, Sah." exclaimed Brown.
dem sandwiches am cut so thin that
the wind blows 'em away Use not re-
Sponslble for the acts of God, sab /
obcyed orders, sab, and it's not my
fault, sab, if dey flew out. sab"
III dock you, Brown, for the sand
witches all the same" quietly remarked
the commissary, while he took the lit
tie book out of his inside pocket to
mark down the cost.
Brown entered strong protest. He
still cuts the sandwiches thin. but takes
good care that they don't fly out of the
window.

A LITTLE GIRLS EXPERIENCE
IN A LIGHTHOUSE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Prescott are
keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at
Sand Beach, Mich, and are blessed
with a daughter, four years old. Last
April she was taken down with Meas
les, followed with a dreadful Cough
and turning into 4 Fever. Doctors
at home and at Detroit treated her,
but in vain, she grew worse rapidly,
until she was a mere "handful of
bones" Then she tried DR.. Kings
New Discovery and after the use of
two and half bottles, was completely
cured. They say DR.. Kings New
Discovery is worthits weight in gold,
yet you may get trial bottle free at

IN CASE OF SUNSTROKE.

The first thing to be done Tor sun
struck man is to take him to the cool
est spot that can be found near by a
well ventilated cellar or basement,
under a shade tree, or even in the
shadow ola building. Then loosen
his clothes and apply cold water to
his head and spine preferably not
ice water-while the arms, legs and
chest may be bathed with tepid water
containing ammonia or carbonate of
soda. The best position for the patient
while this treatment is being carried
out is lying on his left side, for in that
position the blood will more easily
flow from the head to the heart The
administration of alcoholic stimulant
is of doubtful safety, and drinks of ice
water are likely to kill instead of cure.
Cold tea or coffee is recommended, as
is also lemon juice and water. Blisters
along the spine are often followed by
good effects

The Various Telegraph Companies.

"How:many different telegraph com
panies DO you think there are in this
country" asked well-posted cleo
trician You probably think there
are only two-the Western Union and
the Postal-because. if YOU want to
send message, you have to use either
one or the other and all competition
has ceased Not only that, but rates
are higher Well. there are on record
a. having accepted the government
act and voluntarily submitted to the
right OF the postmaster-general to fix
rates no less than ninety-eight differ
ent companies. The great majority of
these are absolutely controlled by the
Western Union. but the organization
is kept up and the annual meetings
held with as much regularity as that
which attends the rising OF the sun.
For instance, the American Union tele-
graph company. which was organized
by Mr. Gould to fight the Western
Union and out OF which he made over
$4,000. 900 has an organization in ev-
cry state where it has lines. "-IHilq-

NAL TESE CHARMERS.
They Are Sale to BE Surprising Types of
LONELINESS.

But soon from this patio, from that
narrow thoroughfare, another silent
archway. from huge barred doors that
open and close with a startling click,
come funercal forms clad in sOmb re
black. They glide along with bowed
heads. Their advent has been so sud-
den and their number is at once so
great that you are filled with surprise
and dismay. But these do not remain.
For a soft and delicate hand, as if by
accident, with a swift motion changes
the folds of the faldetta and the pretty
faces of 800 Maltese maids and mat
rons are one by one for q moment
turned rOguishly or kindly to yours.
Then you realize that the faithful fair
of Ealetta are on their way to early
mass, and YOU stand there, hat IN
hand, yourself a reyerent worshipper,
mentally blessing one and all for their
piety and pretty, gracious ways.
These Maltese women are among
the pleasantcst of their sex, both as to
the physical attractiveness and win
someness of manner and character.
They are as a rule more petite than
those of Italy and Spain, but are very
perfect as models of proportion and
natural grace. Their carriage is SUI
perb. They possess an assurance which
is never boldness. with a modesty I'M
tainted with prudery. Their feet,
hands and heads are very small; their
faces round rather than oval; their
eyes and mouths are large and express
Sive; and there is an upward. confiding
and eXpectant look in their faces that
is very Winsome-at least to men.
They are not generally intellectual,
but, better still, they are contented
home-makers and are like birds of song
in all the homeside joys. They mate
early. being mothers at fourteen and
grandmothers at thirty, when they are
still youthful and charming. During
the reign of the knights quite an aris-
tocracy of wealth and nobility for so
small an area and population sprung
up in the islands, which continues to
this day; and the Maltese women of
this class are types of the greatest
sbeauty and elegance. As the men of
the middle and lower classes are noted
for docility, thrift, frugality and many
other excellent virtues, virtue itself is
the browning glory of Maltese maids
and matrons, and to know this and of
their aiTectionatc, true-hearted and
unassuming lives and ways is to find
in every expression Of Maltese female
loneliness an added and lasting charm.

Eetting on Shaving.

number Of daily customers meet at
about the same time each dav and
make pool, the winner to be the
nearest gucsSer in the number of
sweeps the barber will make while
shaving the next customer who
chances to come in. They have great
sport. and when an uninitated gueSser
goes in he invariably makes his guess
entirely too small in most eases about
forty to fifty. Ii is indeed surprising
how many times the barber will place
the razor on the customers face and

GIVING A DOLLAR

A popular young fellow who is
widely known in athletic circles tells
this story: 81 was in the office of a
friend of mine on Walnut street,
above Fourth, the other morning,
when arather seedy-looking young
chap came in, and nodding to him in
a jaunty way, said: Billy, old man, l
want to borrow a dollar H nm m,
replied Billy, slowly, well, if | re-
member rightly, l loaned you dollar
last week so you did, said the
visitor, but I'm dead strapped and

dered moment and replied: well,
you're no good; Pm convinced of
that, and SO I'll not lend you dol
lar, but I'll give you one; how'll that

shameless striker, and then after a
moment or so, as the cash was not
forthcoming, he added: well, where
the dollar you are going to give me?'
OH replied Billy, smilingly, Tll
give you the dollar you borrowed
