About TO sue.

A man who lets out dress suits at two
dollars per night threatens to go into
court and sue for $792 for the use of suit
that couldn't have cost more than twenty
dollars in the first instance.
This is how it happened. A member
of an arctic expedition. encamped just
now, or supposed to be, somewhere with
in gunshot of the north pole, was ten
dered a reception by some friends on the
night before his departure. He secured
a pair of patent leather shoes, q clean
shirt and a satin necktie from some
where or other, but the dress suit he
hired from the agent referred to.
Next morning the explorers mother
packed the suit in his Saratoga trunk,
not knowing that it wasn't his, and he
took it up to the north pole with him.
1t has been used doubtless at the prin-
cipal blubber feeds and walrus hunts to
impress the natives.
But the dress suit loaner wants two
dollars day for every day he has been
deprived of the use of the clothes, and
by the time the explorer gets back the
bill will be $792, thirteen months being
the length of his absence. A deep legal
question will doubtless arise, but the
agent is firm and says that he means to
get his rights.-New York Herald.

A duel between two young men has
been nipped in the bud at Buena Vista,
Va, by Mayor White. Mr.. ]. g. Seay
sent challenge to fight a duel to Mr..
Edmund Randolph. Young Randolph
paid no attention to the challenge and a
second challenge was sent by Seay.
Young Randolph referred the corre-
spondence to his friend, Mr.. r. b. VIII
hanson, and before any details could be
arranged the police arrested Seay, who
was carried before the mayor and bailed
to appear at the next term of the cor
poration court. Young Seay is about
twenty years of age and was educated
at the Virginia Military institute. Mr.
Randolph, who is about twenty-cne, is
teller in the First National bank.
Both young men are highly connected
and respected. The difficulty was caused
by a misunderstanding between the
young men as to an engagement, Seay
claiming that Randolph purposely avoid
ed him and thus treated him dfsrespect-
fully. No further trouble is apprehend-
ed.-Richmond Dispatch.

A thrilling story of adventure and
peril comes from johnson county, Wy,
the seat of the late cattle war. During
the entire winter Contractor Stringe-
has been unable to carry the mail across
the Big Horn mountains from Buffalo to
Ten Sleep. In the belief that the sum-
mer season was sufficiently advanced to
allow the trip to be made, he started
from Buffalo on string saddle horse
and with four mules packed with mail
pouches. Twenty-Five miles of hard
travelling landed Stringer at an emer-
gency cabin with his stock completely
played out. Here he placed some mail
on toboggan, and strapping on pair
of snowshoes made another start for Ten
Sleep.
In about fifteen miles one of the snow
shoes was broken. The nearest haven
was Stringer's own ranch, twelve miles
distant. He was five days getting to it.
Most of the way he crawled on his hands
and knees. With hunger and exposure
he was all but dead. Resting three days
at his ranch, and making a new shoe,
Springer returned to the station for the
abandoned stock and mail, and in a week
went through to Ten Sleep. He returned
to Buffalo, Wy, May 1,-Omaha Bee.

An As.uts Land GrAsser.

One of the most lofty and ambitious
grabbers in the state of Montana was
not long ago observed to be engaged in
q most mysterious business. He was
taking women out into the wilderness, =
stage load or two ut time. They were
very reputable women--school teachers,
typewriters, married women, and their
friends. They were taken to large and
pleasantly situated house, upon the pre-
text that they were to attend ball and
q dinner and get 800 as present 1t
all proved true. Excursion party after
excursion party went out In this way.
and when the ladies returned to the town
that had thus been pillaged Of its beauty
they reported that they had Jared upon
venison and wild fowl, with the very
number of stalwart and dashing cow
boys had become their partners, tripping
their light fantastic measures with AZ
enthusiasm which made up for any lacS
of grace that may have been noticed.
The reader may fancy what a lark it
was to the women, and how very much
enjoyment the more mischievous welded
ones among them got by pretending that
they were maidens, heart whole and
free of fancy! But while those women
were in the thick of this pleasure they
each signed formal claim to a home
steader's rights in the lands thereabout.
And as they ''prove up" those claims in
the fullness of time each will get her
800. The titles to the land will then
be made over to the ingenious inventors
and hackers of the scheme, and the land
will be theirs "Thus," in the language
of picturesque son of Montana, ga fell
low can get dukedom if he wants it,"
This is an absolutely true account of the
conquest of valley in Montana, and
the future historian of our country will
find much else that is akin to it, and
that will make an interesting chapter in
his records.-Julian Ralph in Harper's.

American Pic Yindioated.

The American pie has triumphed.
There was a time when pie was in dis
grace. It was considered an inaigest-
BILE and inexcusable culinary concoction.
In England, where it was almost tanta-
mount to misprision of treason to sug-
gest that plum pudding is too rich to be
healthful, pie-except perhaps mince
pie, which is as rich and dubious as
plum pudding-was tabooed. But, like
the oppressed of all nations, it found
shelter in America. There were New
England housewives who made pies
which were delicious and comforting to
the inner man, and the pumpkin pie be-
came associated with the festival of
Thanksgiving in a manner altogether
honorable to those who were responsible
for making and uttering" it.
Then arose the great American philos-
opher, Emerson, the most essentially
classic type of man who has fiourished
in this western world, and Emerson ate
pie three times day. DIR. johnson used
to say that "the man who drinks beer
thinks beer" Ralph Waldo Emerson
ate pie and thought philosophy. The
American pie was vindicated.-Milwau-

Etrnsoan Legends.

Legends about the Etruscans are nu-
merous, but even with them and the nu-
merous Etruscan inscriptions in the
hands of scholars, the race to which they
belonged, their language and history, are
still an unsolved problem. Mr.. Charles
Godfrey Leland is about to make an i'm
portant contribution to the literature of
the subject in voluminous work on
Etruscan legends. For years he has
passed his summers in Italy In the old
Etruscan country, wandering among the
peasants and collecting their stories.
Their customs and superstitions date
back to the old heathen times, and devil
worship and the most primitive beliefs
prevail among them even down to the
present time.

The new halves and quarter dollars are

that they have not worked their way

and the engine was well away from tho

Throw up your hands!" WAS growlcd

into gun in the hands of hard look

The fellow demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that he
had but dollar in his pockets, and that
to take that We're cruelty, since it was
meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the
marauder was determined to have the
sack, even if it had but single dollar.
During the discussion Jack slipped his
hand from bulb to nozzle of the long
machinist's oiler and edged around the
head of the locomotive, finally backing
across tho track, closely followed by the
temporizing holder up.
When the man was so we'll into the

his head with the heavy oiler for a

came upon remains Of a mammoth and
other prehistoric animals. Two large

tusks was brought to the surface and it
was found to measure at its thickest
