Fate Is Often Pickle.

An officer of an Illinois regiment in the
Civil War tells an amusing story of him.
self, which illustrates the fact that while
many persons fail get adequate rewards
for their efforts, others are paid honors to
which they have no right.
II was acting as Major in certain bat
tle." relates the officer, "when the brigade
was ordered to carry by storm a position
in which the enemy was strongly fortified.
The regiment went forward, but when it
came under fire the center wavered, while
the wings made dash to reach stone
wall in front, bending the regimental line
like rainbow. was in the rear of the
center urging the men to push forward,
when my horse, which was new in the
business, took the bit in his teeth and
dashed at a gallop ahead of the men and
up to the stone wall. i made the best of
an awkward situation, rose in my stirrups,
waved my sword, and called upon the men
to push forward. Believing that had
gone willingly into danger, they dashed
forward to my rescue, and after furious
fight we drove the enemy from their posi-
ton, went over the wall, and were soon in
full possession Of the ground that we had
been directed to occupy.
/, II was credited, of course, with extreme
bravery; in the end l was promoted to
Colonel at one jump, and ever after that l
endeavored to maintain the standard of
bravery fixed by that stubborn old horse. /"

rights that are coming to bin, but We do
not think he is yet competent to fill the
Offices and run the government or any
part of it. The interests Of the negro
are in the South; in the success of the
southern people lies the interest of the
negro, and the sooner he learns-,it the
better. He can't live in the North: the
South is his home, and every vote be

an injury to himself"

Polyandry In Tibet.

A little northeast Of Lhassa, among
the mountains that cover that part Of
the great plateau of Tibet, the explorer,
Bonvalot, found large population. Il
is in these valleys that some of the rivers
of India have their head waters. This
region is peculiar as the part Of Tibet
where polyandry is the custom and this
feature of social life has given Tibet
some notoriety because there are very few
parts of the world in which poyandry is
practiced. Ronvalot thus describes the
custom as it exists in Tibet:
A family has a daughter. A young
man WISHES to enter the family, to live
under its roof, and become the husband
OF the daughter. He consults with the
parents, and if they arrive at an agree
ment with regard to the amount OF
property he is to turn over to them, he
takes up his abode in the hut and be-
cones the husband Of the daughter. 1t
may be that there are other young men
desirious of partaking of the same good
fortune. They are not at all deferred by
the fact that the girl is already provided
with husband. They present them
selves at the hut, make offers of certain
property, and unless the first husband
has paid what is regarded in Tibet as a
very large sum in order to secure the
young woman as his exclusive possession,
she becomes likewise the wife of these
other claiments for her hand, and the
whole family live together and in the ut
most harmony.
1t rarely happens that a young man
thinks enough of the girl he weds in this
peculiar fashion as to be jealous Of others
who also desire to be her husband. Now
and then, however, such case arises, and
then there is likely TO he bloodshed. He
Is happy young man who is wealthy
enough to become the sole lord and mas
ter Of his wife. 1t is question entirely
of money. If the young Tibetan is rich
enough he buys wife and remains the
only master Of the household. Some
times, also, the husband acquires sufi-
cient property to buy out the intrest of
the other husbands, and then they retire
from the field. They are generally con-
tent if they receive back little more than
they paid for their interest in the young
woman. The children are always regard
ed as belonging to the woman, and the
fathers lay no claim on them.-N. Y. Sun.

a Big Herd on Hand.

GUTHRIE, o. T., August 3O.-When the sol
diers were ordered to the Cherokee strip to
drive out the cattle. Governor Seay notified
every sheriff in Oklahoma not to allow any
cattle to be driven through his county, and
an armed force of deputies was stationed all
along the line. Notwithstanding this some
their cattle through the western counties.
Sheriff Mason, of county E, telegraphs the
governor that he has taken possession OF
1900 head of Texas steers and is afser more.
What he will do with them is uncertain, m
less he accedes TO the demands of the set
tiers and shoots them. 1t Is feared there
will be serious trouble over the matter.

A PbvsIoIan's Statement

vienna, September IA physician writ
ing on the cholera situation in Hamburg
says that at Eppendorf hospital he saw zoe
dead bodies awaiting burial. Furthermore
wagons are pressed into service to carry the
dead to places of interment. So great has
grown the demand for hospital service that
it is proposed to fit up the schools and gym
nasiums as hospitals. At Old Hamburg hos
pital he saw in dirty, neglected passages
bundles of clothing lying on the floor await
ing disinfection. Among these packages lay
a number of bodies of those who died from
cholera. Bodies lay in every conceivable
way just as they had been dropped. by at
tendants. Even to those Injured to hospital
scenes the sight of these bodies Of men,
women and children being thrown promis-
cuonsly together, was revolving. To get in
to wards people have to step over corpses
and piles of infected clothing. Many chol-
era sufferers, owing to overcrOwdinR. lie on
bare mattresses which are filthy from use.
Patients are without any covering whatever.

National Quarantine.

WASHINGTON. D. c., August SO.-The treas.
ury department is acting promptly on all
matters that have bearing on thu cholera
epidemic and nothing will be left undone
that may tend to keep the infection from the
shores of this country. To all intents and
purposes there now exists a national quaran-
tine. The cooperation of national and state
authorities in the matter Is resulting in the
formation of a Gordon which will make it ex-
tremeIy difficult for a case of cholera to
reach the United States. Surgeon General
Wyman, of the Murine hospital service, Is
now considering a proposition to continue
the disinfcc.ion of baggage during the win
ter. This WILL 1t is thought, prevent the i'm
portation of cholera germs after the present
alarm is oyer and the matter subsidies.

Work OF nesoua.

LONDON, August 3O.-The work of rescue
and removing the bodies IF the miners from
Park Slip pit, the scene of the fearful explO-
sion at Bridge End, Wales, continues. Ten
bodies have been taken out of it. Thirty
nine miners seriously hurt have been found
and taken from the pit by means of sings
and other appliances.
The scene when they reached the surface
was indescribable. When they were recog-
nized by their wives, mothers or sweethearts,
they were frantieally embraced and kissed
again aud again. 1t was painful To witness
the looks of hopelessness and despair on the
faces of some of the women and children
when they saw their husbands and fathers
were not among the rescued. Sadly they
turned away with heavy hearts, and walked
to their homes. However, it is possible 9TH
ers may be saved.

RESULTS.
Want 10 Make More Leases.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 1.-Wil-
liam A. Snyder, of Arkansas City, has ap-
piled to the Indian bureau for a lease of the
TOakawa reservation. HIS application was
answered, and was very short statement to
the effect that it had been decided not to
lease 1t.
This, of itself, might be considered rather
unimpOrtant, but it Is the first step in the
line of a new policy which has an important
bearing on the Cherokee strip. Special re-
port to the bureau shows that the cattle in
the strip got there through the Ponca and
Otoe reservations. Cattle were shipped to
these small reservations as the reservations
were leased for grazing purposes
1t has been concluded that these simply
serve as a door to let cattle into the strip,
and much trouble can be prevented by re-
fusing to lease these lands. For this reason
it is refused to lease the Tonkawa country,
as it would be used as an open door to the
strip. The present leases for the Ponca and
Otoe reservations expire next March and it
is believed 1t has been decided not to lease
them next year and in this way shut cattle
2ut of the strip.
A report from one of the Indian agents in
the territory, received at the interior de-
partment, states that the work of removing
cattle from the strip seems to be progressIn g
nicely. He thinks the work is being done in
an efficient way and will result in all the cat
tie being removed.
